About Vincent/Zelda.... I took Vincent and didn't think twice, but I think it's going to be one of those matches where 1st place is up for grabs all day long. We'll see.... --- KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (0-0) : AFC Wildcard NEXT: at Houston Texans (0-0) |

Frog actually gets the after-school vote over Axel BOOK IT ...... ..... not --- Oracle Challenge - Today's prediction: ~ Axel 16.20% - Frog 20.72% - Samus 52.80% - Kerrigan 10.28% ~ Status: Grrreat |

I took Vincent over Zelda because I think that square fans, especially
FF7 fans are much more devoted to there characters than Zelda fans
being devoted to anyone other than Link. --- "To be forgotten is worse than death"-Freya FFIX |

Meaning the east coast of the US, like it was originally in 2k2
before GFaqs moved to PST for a few years, but they changed back to EST
last year. GameFAQs was on Central time then (Texas), not Eastern. As for Axel, Diablo was a day vote beast and hardly did anything with it yesterday. Anything could happen with the trends still; I certainly wouldn't count on an Axel comeback. --- FFXII NLB - finished - 39 marks FFXII LLIENANMiNDM - Bhujerba (post-Ba'Gamnan) |

I have Samus > MM then Cloud > MM This all rides on Bowser getting through his division though. Ryu could damn well ruin my bracket if he beats out bowser in the third round.

... by now an Axel comeback is extremely unlikely... he'd have to go as
crazy as Kairi did vs. Claire, and there's not way in hell that's
happening, especially with Smaus around --- Oracle Challenge - Today's prediction: ~ Axel 16.20% - Frog 20.72% - Samus 52.80% - Kerrigan 10.28% ~ Status: Grrreat |

Yeah, Samus being around to take some day vote power is going to hurt
Axel a bit, too. He's going to have to make up 1500+ votes in around
8-9 hours. In a one-on-one match, he'd have a hard time with that. With
four people, it's going to be almost impossible, regardless of how good
Axel's day vote and how bad Frog's day vote is. --- http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2088 Never forget. |

three matches, what with how worried we were about that before. --- http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2088 Never forget. |

Man, Axel's really stinkin' it up right now. If he keeps this up, no
amount of day vote strength is going to save him here. He was closer to
Kerrigan than Frog the last few updates. Speaking of which: At the 12:30 mark, this match has 66220 votes. For a comparison of how the other two matches were doing at the same time: Knux/Rikku/Vaan/Yoshi - 85411 Arthas/Diablo/KOS-MOS/Mega Man - 72225 A little behind yesterday's, which still finished with 140,000. --- Vote for Serge. |

Also, do you think it'd be better if we combined the two prediction
percentages for the characters if we want to add them to the overall
list? Or we should at least include it on the CBVI list somewhere. Total Prediction Percentage Mega Man - 93.59% Yoshi - 80.87% Knuckles the Echidna - 59.12% KOS-MOS - 30.09% --- Vote for Serge. |

Haha, awesome. Looks like Samus has done pretty well for herself with
the morning vote. I was thinking she might increase 1 - 2% total, but
that's probably the least she'll be getting. aww yeah Nice to see Frog has it about wrapped up, especially after what was apparently a scare in the middle of the night. Can't see Axel coming back from a nearly 1800 vote lead, not with Samus here to rock some of the after school vote. --- Experiment status report update: Metroid project 'Dread' is nearing the final stages of completion. |

Honestly, if Axel comes back from this, considering he's not even going
to be doing any sort of gaining for another three hours, it might be
the most impressive comeback we've ever had. It took Sephiroth nearly all day to catch Snake. --- Vote for Serge. |

Like I said, watch Axel go on a tear and take the lead, and make
Frog fight back for it tonight en route to the closest match we've ever
had. I'd figure that would almost have to be an unprecedented comeback. A 2000 vote lead -- maybe even less than that -- might as well be the point of no return here. The character with the best of day votes isn't turning that around. I daresay Link, king of the 24 hour vote, couldn't turn that around if someone got that far ahead of him in this format. --- Experiment status report update: Metroid project 'Dread' is nearing the final stages of completion. |

Yeah, If Axel came back from this, it would be the greatest comeback to
date. (you have to consider that its 4 people, making it that much
harder.) --- 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 daresay Link, king of the 24 hour vote, couldn't turn that around if someone got that far ahead of him in this format.

Which match do you think will be the first to surprass the first day votal? I think it'll probably the Auron/Shadow/Chris match, featuring 3 popular characters and taking place on a Sunday, otherwise, it'll be the Vincent/Zelda one. |

Uh-oh. Axel's starting to inch out a comeback. I still hold out hope for a night vote for Frog. Claire couldn't pull anything out, but that match was on a Friday, which I believe has a less pronounced night vote. --- Twisted Misters: 2007 World Series of Pop Culture Champions!!! |

I daresay he'd still beat Cloud if he started off down by 3500 votes. lmfao If Cloud got a 500 vote lead, it would be over for Link. Link is the King of Bleeding Percentage not the 24 hour vote, anyway. --- Feel my truth. |
