Jak and HK-47 both have an equal chance of winning. Lloyd is the far outside shot. --- The apples were too strong for him.- Abomstar |

I have a strange feeling Jak'll pull it off too.. but HK-47 isn't really that far from Jak. --- Today: Crono > Raiden - Vote: Crono Tomorrow: Zero > HK-47 - Vote: Zero - Points: 46/56 |

The genius of this new format is that everyone's careful statistical
analysis is all pretty useless. I don't think we've seen Crono weaken
much at all, for two reasons: 1. Crono v 3 weak characters is not the same as Crono v 1 character three times as strong. Each of those characters has a hardcore fanbase, and only Noble Niners have a hardcore fanbase equal to the combined fanbase of Crono's opponents. Thus, if Crono fails to get 50% here, it still means he's Noble Nine standard. And not weakened very much. 2. Gah I forgot the other. Crono's still cool, anyway. >_> |

By that logic Crono could have gotten any percentage and still been
considered "Noble Nine Standard". That's obviously not true, though
it's nigh impossible to say what that percentage should be. Relative to expectations however, many would say Crono is disappointing (especially considering Raiden appears to be much weaker than many were placing him). --- delicious cats Commit it to memory. |

Sam's probably got a few big surges left in him, timed with each hour
(the rush of teh kiddies getting home from school in each time zone).
Based on that, though... he'll be lucky for the lead to finish under
1000. --- delicious cats Commit it to memory. |

HK-47 is XboX, he'll do well with the day. HK-47 wins tomorrow HK-47 is from an RPG. I'd expect him to be relatively steady all match. The one who will have the most day/night disparity is Jak. He should do loads better with the after school vote than any time during the night. TuRtLe ~~~ 44/56 in the contest. Next pick: Crono > Raiden BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

that ten minute, 100 vote cut was just a fluke? weird. let's see if he
does it again, I guess. I still haven't wavered from Raiden, but Fisher
seems to have the ability to make me second-guess myself if he pulls
any more of those. --- xyzzy |

Eh Fisher has no real chance, this is more of a make in interesting
kind of thing. And it looks like Raiden is fortifying his 1000 vote
barrier. --- Should I start running now? |

Man, looking at it, Lloyd has a damn good day vote. He had Zero at 63%
at the freeze, although he did go on to lose 10% by the end of the
match. TuRtLe ~~~ 44/56 in the contest. Next pick: Crono > Raiden BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

From Karma Hunter Posted 9/17/2007 5:12:47 PM #280 I submit this as evidence that Mountain Time Zone Children are slow and that NCLB is a failure Sam's big gains should be coming 5-10 minutes from now.

But more consistent. Plus, if he ends up blitzing anyway (it was 100
votes in only TEN minutes) that's all the better for Fisher. --- delicious cats Commit it to memory. |

The rush started at the :25 update and ended at the :35 one. So expect these next three updates to be painful. :x ~~~ Ashe. The Cream of Final Fantasy Fanboyism. Embok. |

...wow, right on schedule. If he can cut and blitz for the rest of the afterschool vote... he still loses. But it looks close on paper! --- delicious cats Commit it to memory. |

Hey, Crono did win the day vote over Vincent last time sort

and yeah, I don't think comparing Crono/Vincent to Frog/Axel is an
exaggeration. Crono *needs* that kind of 800 vote lead after an hour,
because it just isn't going to last. --- xyzzy |
