I'd just like to announce that all this "Kefka's day vote sucks!"
nonsense...yeah, we don't quite know much about Mr. Fenix's day vote
either though. Sure it makes sense that he could have more power, but
hell...we've seen stranger things happen in these contests. --- Pokemon Pearl Code: 2663-9266-2709 WWEGSB Hardcore Legend and Board 8er Masa/Hiko |

At the expense of Nook? Really? --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude! Annoying posters! I am the great wavedash! [no u cru] |

But Kefka really does have one of the worst day votes in contest
history. Marcus has to be *really* bad with it for Kefka to hold on.
The match depends on how big his lead gets before morning. --- Currently Playing: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Persona 3 |

Nook went from 19% to 18.3% in the last half hour. That's probably just
the Power Hour wearing off, but why would that go to Fenix? --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

I don't think Fenix has to be anything special to win the day vote against Kefka And judging from my limited time playing GeoW on XBL, I'd say more than a fair share of Gears players are school-aged children, or at least high-school kids. That bodes well for a strong after-school push. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Seeing as how his game appeals to the same fanbase as Halo, its likely
he will act like a smaller scale version of Chief, but with less anti
votes --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude! Annoying posters! I am the great wavedash! [no u cru] |

I care about this match. I'm quite curious to see if Kefka is really
going to drop the ball here or not. Matter of fact, I've always been
big fans of Kefka matches. He's like a poor man's Frog in these
contests. --- Pokemon Pearl Code: 2663-9266-2709 WWEGSB Hardcore Legend and Board 8er Masa/Hiko |

The thing about Fenix though, is that his game is alot more "mature"
than Halo, but is still played by teenagers and older schoolkids. Which
is probably why he's holding up so well against Kefka as opposed to
say, Axel. My thoughts are that he'll be similar to Axel, but much less polarized. Meaning he should have a solid day vote, but won't give up nearly as much as Axel did overnight.

That's true. There doesn't seem to be much excitement here, even with
the small 300 vote gap. Maybe it's because both are guaranteed to
advance anyways. --- Finally a damn bracket! |

Seeing Nook tailspin like this is actually a decent sign (minus my
fanboyism, of course). Maybe he'll clean up a chunk of the day vote and
allow Kefka some opportunity to keep Marcus back. Doubt it, but you
never know. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

well, in the last 30 minutes, Kefka's gained 164 votes. if he goes at
300+ votes per hour, he'll be up a good 1700 by morning. of course,
votes are going to drop off pretty soon, so assuming he stays at that
speed, I'd expect a 1200 vote lead or so? that's pretty random
guesswork, but it could be what we're looking at. --- "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 |

That's sorta what I'm concluding, yo. Nook's probably going to have a
decent day vote, and ToS isn't horrible with it (contrary to my
expectations). With Fenix acting like a night character here, he might
not be able to make a big drive during the day. But, with Kefka around, there's going to be plenty of percentage to go around come 3 PM. And it just seems weird that an XBox character would not dominate Old Square during the day - but, hey, Castlevania/Halo's trends surprised even me (a rather vocal CV supporter). I'm just a bit weirded out and pretty tired at the moment, please forgive my rambling. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

That's a really good point YoAriel. Marcus might be hindered because of Nook.

But one would thing the recency of MP3 would give her that bit of juice needed to win over the kiddies. Anyways, I'm not all that worried about Marcus here. Common sense dictates that he'll have at the very least, enough of a day vote to put the fear into Kefka. This really all depends on what he does (if anything) with the 8am-3pm block. Like I said, I have reason to think he'll hold up better than Axel did. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe.

Who the hell is HK-47?! What?! Come on, he's the most kickass character
from one of the best games of the last generation! I'll take him over
some overrated ToS character any day, even if it is the lead! And Jak I
didn't even consider to do much damage. --- Pokemon Pearl Code: 2663-9266-2709 WWEGSB Hardcore Legend and Board 8er Masa/Hiko |

supporting Kingdom Hearts character's day vote, I've kind of lost faith
in the whole "strong character altering voting trends for the weaker
dudes" thing. Then again, I don't want Nook to do anything. That's because Kerrigan was there as well as Frog to kindly donate percentage to Axel and Samus, who both improved markedly. Kefka's obviously going to suck come daytime, but if Nook and Zelos capitalize on that what's left for Fenix? Especially with him splitting the benefit of the night with Kefka right now, at the expense of Nook and Zelos. Characters that do well now rarely do well in the afterschool period. But that leads to such a weird conclusion I'm not sure. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

I took Jak to win that one because I feel as though KotOR is a bit
outdated now. It's been.... what? 2.5 - 3 years since KotOR 2 came out?
Jak has had at least a couple of games in that timeframe, and I can
definitely see the higher votals helping him out more than HK. I want to see that match if only because Zero will easily have over 50%. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |
