So what does the consensus think about the 10:00 on vote, everyone will
be up in America and off to school, does KH outperform CT before the
American afterschool crisis? --- "I'll do it with my magic!" - Tellah FF4 |

I don't know how you hate Frog for being a "whiny little tool" and yet you like Raiden, who's the same but much worse. And we're about to see the KH day vote collide with the CT day vote. We'll see if Frog can hold on like he did against Riku. He's stalling effectively right now. --- "I'm no hero...Never was. I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work." |

correct. Really surprised at how much trouble Frog's having here. Though it's starting to make me feel good about Midna next round.

So let's see. Assume Frog's up by 1,400 by the time 10 oclock gets
here... I'd say he can at least increase it to 2,000 by the time the
after school vote gets here. At which point, in a one on one match, I'd
say he'd be in some serious trouble... But not in a Four way match. Too many of Axel's votes are going to be taken away by Samus for it to make much of a difference at that point. I think it will be really hard to make an effective comeback in this contest after the 1,000 vote gap has been breached, just because of how many other people in the match can take votes from you. Though if there was ever a day vote for me to NOT doubt, it'd be KH's. >.< --- ~*~ExThaNemesis~*~ I do a lot of pushups and situps, and I drink plenty of juice.

I think Frog will build up enough of a lead during school to render the
KH after-school vote irrelevant. I do still think picking Axel was a
good upset pick, though. From LeonhartFour Posted 9/5/2007 9:24:40 AM #052 I don't know how you hate Frog for being a "whiny little tool" and yet you like Raiden, who's the same but much worse. Raiden has a valid reason (his superiors are putting his life on the line without telling him why), plus he doesn't sit around whining about it. He's actually out there doing something. ~*ST*~ --- Petition for a system notification when a contribution is removed: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=37308859 |

he's barely increasing this lead. I'm still trying to figure out why he
lost 300 votes like it was nothing, then went right back to stalling.

*mild spoilers* Frog sucks. Yeah, the concept of a Frog carrying the Masamune is different, and the critical hit percentage with said sword is nice, but as a character... Frog is a complete pansy. Every playthrough of the game reveals him to be even more of a pansy in my eyes. His mortal enemy joins the party, and instead of manning up and actually SPEAKING to Magus after he joins the party and making things right, he sits on the sideline and sulks and complains. NOBODY else in the party had a problem with Magus joining the party. Not to mention this is after Magus's true intentions were revealed and he's actually not the evil wizard of death and destruction that Frog built him up to be. --- Currently playing: Call of Duty 2, Maverick Hunter X, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Dead Rising, Tomb Raider Legend |

Knuckles came back 1700 votes a couple of days ago. Rikku is much better in the day than Frog. KH characters are -- get ready for it -- better than Sonic characters in the day. The higher your percentage of the vote, the easier it is to make a comeback. Axel will have a much more difficult time here than Knuckles did. --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

Peach/Jill and Ryu H/Jill were both by 27 votes. last year, we figured it was Mega Man's fault that he collapsed after the first few hours of the poll. he was at 75% at 03:00 and ended up under 70%, bleeding percentage throughout the entire day (though it was worse during the daytime). maybe that was Axel's doing and he has some strange trend? I don't know, I'm overthinking this, but I guess it's possible. Well no ****ing ****. I've been saying this since the day after that match, and only now does somebody agree with me?

Just got a chance to look at the poll for the first time today. Looks
like Frog is steadily keeping Axel at bay, which is nice. We'll see
what happens when school lets out, though. <_< And holy crap at the leaderboard. We're going to be out of perfects after the first goddamn division at this rate. --- Kleenex - Not on his computer. |

against Kairi. It's entirely possible for Frog to get up to the 2000

Bah, if Frog could get to 1500, I think that would be enough, its a lot
harder to overcome that in a 4-way match. But then, I don't know how
much the after-school vote for KH is. --- Come visit my board, Hektik, In the C-64 today! Not changing this until Casey Mears wins his 2nd Nascar Cup race. Started 7/7/07 |

I'd need to see a 2000 vote lead to feel safe.
