KOS-MOS's lead is 2 short of 1400 now. What does it need to reach for you to feel comfortable, MarioSuperstar? --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

2000+? Granted, KOS-MOS is far weaker than Crono, but you're basically
saying that you fear Arthas's day vote will be on the same level as
Sonic? Even with another Blizzard option and another casuals option to
choose? Confidence, man! --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

It hurt him so much that you merely posting about it let him cut 15 votes out of KOS-MOS' lead. <_< --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." - Joseph Stalin |

A mere anomaly. If he cuts into her lead for two more updates out of the next three, then I'll concede he could be a threat. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

...annnnnnd BOOM goes the dynamite. Nice recovery from KOS-MOS. Two updates after her first significant loss, she's back up higher than she was 15 minutes ago. I'm off to bed. I expect to see KOS-MOS still having a 1000+ vote lead at the very least 8 hours from now. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

I was reading some of the preliminary "support arthas" topics on the
WoW forums. Half of the posts were of the "Pew Pew, I voted Megaman" or
"I voted Diablo, thx" variety. epiclulz @ what will probably be a failed vote rally. --- Eff Dee |

Followed by a gain for kos-mos and then by a drop. 20 minutes have lost
her 27 votes. But I do not see him keeping this pace against Kos-Mos

Last time I checked she was up by 1394 votes. She really needs to push
harder and put more distance between herself and Arthas. I'm just glad
they're splitting votes amongst themselves. --- 1 of 6267 - The Great GameFAQs Character Battle VI Ago una , intereo unus |

The before-school vote has started, yes? Give it three hours and
hopefully KOS-MOS can maintain her lead through, and then following
that, hopefully KOS-MOS can build her lead a little more before the
afterschool vote. I'm just hoping, though... --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

Major question here. Is there a way to figure out the prediction percentage for getting the ENTIRE match correct? Obviously we can tell for the first match looking at the score distributions, but that's because it's only Day 1... --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun!

Arthas is really trying to cut into the lead, but KOS-MOS is hanging in
there. Arthas and Diablo have spent the past 40 minutes holding steady
with each other. thanks goodness they are holding each other back. this match makes me feel better about my CATS and Ocelot pick. i'm REALLY wishing i had stuck with CATS at this point. face CATS + Peach & Meta-Knight splitting Nintendo votes = CATS in 2nd place! --- I support the following SC2K6 characters: L-Block, Phoenix Wright, Magus, Agent J, Vincent Valentine, Miles Edgeworth, HK-47, Zero, Kefka |

I have Diablo today, but I love Arthas to death and find this whole thing funny as hell. I hope Arthas comes back. I still don't quite get why KOS-MOS is doing this well, either. I get that she'd be getting killed if this were a one on one and that Arthas and Diablo are holding one another back, but it's a surprise to me. And the thought that Arthas would take second place if KOS-MOS weren't there is awesome. ~*ST*~ --- Petition for a system notification when a contribution is removed: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=37308859 |

uhhh....uhhhhhhhh well, normally I'd say KOS is safe, but rallying is going to make this lead disappear if it exists. it's like a normal 1300 vote lead. uhhh.... I said last night that I was more scared of Arthas than I was Diablo, and I might it. great pick by our guest today. --- "where the heck does diablo get his votes from on weekends?

oh, and if this is anything like last year, KOS will actually do better
in a few hours until school lets out. of course, that probably won't be
true because AHHHH IT'S A TUESDAY, but usually the night vote does well

you. I'm a bit worried for KOS-MOS though. And yeah, we do need to get

I've very interested in seeing how the day vote plays out. KOS-MOS has
simply been on cruise control the whole match and it looks like she'll
get her lead over 1500. Honestly, I can't see Arathas making that huge
push, he's sharing too many of the votes with Diablo for me to feel
worried about stealing 2nd from KOSy right now. Should KOS-MOS hold on like expected, I'm really interested to see how the prediction percentage looks for this, since the KOS-MOS is above Mega Man in the poll options! We'll really find out if people were paying attention to 1st Place > 2nd Place setup then. |

I think comparing GTA to KOS is a mistake, though.. the fact that
Arthas went dead-even during that 7-8 hour suggests that we're going to
see a battle once the afterschool vote comes. also, I think rallying
tends to stop when you're actually ahead. not that IT'S A TUESDAY WTF
is going to definitely matter, but if I was doing it I'd chill out once
I got a lead. plus, if you look at the results without knowing the format of the contest, you wouldn't know that Arthas is in competition. it looks like Mega Man's trashing his ass here. basically, the only people that would rally are the few people that actually know the contest format -- basically, board 8. also, we've got a pretty low vote total compared to yesterday here. if it's all loaded into the afterschool vote... --- "where the heck does diablo get his votes from on weekends?

for whatever it's worth, KOS had 67.98% against Amy Rose at this point
and finished the match at 65.43%. Amy probably has a pretty good day
vote given the other Sonic characters. --- "where the heck does diablo get his votes from on weekends? He should be losing because christians are fresh from the church and voting against evil" -voltch |
