What do you mean why just recently? This is exactly when the after-school vote starts. This isn't like some major shock. Everyone was waiting for this to happen. It's just... the comeback is more powerful than I expected.

The two were actually pretty close if you look at the last time they were in one of these things. That it's close shouldn't be a surprise

It's the only example with such a small lead going into the final night vote. With a 300 vote lead and only a couple hours left, rallying is what makes the main difference. It's not like Frog's going to lay down and die if he does get behind by that much.

I have Axel winning, but unless he makes 50 vote cuts for a few hours, I have no faith in him pulling this off. I knew it was an upset pick going in.

This is just how Frog rolls.

Still, the massive cuts he made previously make up for a three-vote blip.

The thing with Axel is, what did he do to become popular. I don't remember him doing anything in KH2. Though I don't really remember KH2. ¬_¬

What would you say Axel needs to be safe, then? I'd certainly say if he got a 150+ lead going into the final hour and a half, he'd be safe.

Kairi didn't exactly do anything to be popular either yet she owned Claire with this type of comeback and did respectable on Rikku. KH anything after KH2 seems to be a force here.

Axel was badass in KH2. He made the Roxas hours more bearable for one. That's all you really need to know.

Even before KH2, we had Ansem doing exceptionally with the day vote (though admittedly...it was CATS).

if my math is right, Axel won the last hour by 239 votes. if he maintains that for eight hours, he wins by 2-300 votes. now, he's probably going to slow down (though he might actually speed up in an hour or so), so I'd say it's debatable who wins this.

I'd rather have Frog, though.

If this keeps going he may actually threaten to deplete Frog's lead to like 200 or so. I don't think he'll have quite enough gas to actually take the lead though but it should be close enough to be interesting but yet not close enough so that you worry.

This is a really absurd comeback, considering there are 4 characters. If Axel pulls this off, it's easily the greatest comeback of all time.

To be certain? Much higher than 150. Around 200 would probably be enough, but to be absolutely certain, I'd say more like 400.

By pure numbers, maybe, but Starcraft punking Halo is still the best one.

That's insanity. 400 votes, in THIS format? I thought 150 was generous.
