Raiden sucks. He really, really sucks. He's terrible in MGS2 and his
contest performance is reflecting that. I fully expect HK-47 to out do
him in Round 2. --- Fc: 4768 3939 5325 |

I really hope Raiden can hold Sam off and start gaining soon. Everytime
I get close to the leaderboard a wicked upset comes out of nowhere and
pushes me back down >_> --- 1 of 321 - The Great GameFAQs Character Battle VI Ago una , intereo unus |

Hmmm...perhaps I was too quick to make assumptions.

So, the afterschool vote is mostly over, and Crono stands, at 7, just
0.28% lower than he was at 3. I mentioned last night that there were
only 5 first place characters out of 14 so far who finished below their
percentage at 1 AM- and of those only Yoshi finished more than 1% lower
(And we've had characters with horrid day votes like Ryu and Magus
winning!). Crono was at 48.21% at 1 AM, so he's still a little above
that right now, and it looks close on whether he'll become the sixth
winner to finish below their 1 AM percentage or not. --- Character Battle VI -- Points: 45/56 -- T-132 (48 way) Bracket: Crono > Sam Fisher -- Vote: Crono |

Or rather he's exactly matched his 1 AM percentage now. Let's see if he can go back over it with the night vote. --- Character Battle VI -- Points: 45/56 -- T-132 (48 way) Bracket: Crono > Sam Fisher -- Vote: Crono |

This match shows me that taking Simon as an upset pick wasn't a particularly good idea. I feel ya buddy.

Was it a joke pic because of how close MM/Sephy was? Or was it usermade? Considering that Sephiroth needed the day vote to beat Mega Man, it was pretty close, but no one cared because they were still talking about Samus/Sonic. --- The Board 8 BOP - http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB6%20BOP.xls Match 15: Crono > Raiden Points: 42/56 |

that picture was made back when Ceej was really into the contest. that
match was really tight - I think MM was ahead in the beginning? - until
Sephiroth put it away in the daytime. that week in 2002 was by far the best run of matches ever, by the way --- xyzzy |

Just looking through all the match pics, Tidus' one shining moment in
the contest was his match with Ganondorf right? Well, that's the only
picture where he doesn't look like a male Calvin Klein model. He has a
sword and is looking somewhat badassed. Maybe he just got a huge
overperformance because the rest of his pictures make him looking like
Meg Ryan sneaked into the contest. TuRtLe ~~~ 44/56 in the contest. Next pick: Crono > Raiden BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

See, this is why I support the use of 15 minute updates in stats
discussion. 5 minute updates are always sporadic like that. 15 minutes
are a much more reliable indicator of trends. TuRtLe ~~~ 44/56 in the contest. Next pick: Crono > Raiden BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

nah, Tidus is just overrated through Magus/Link. I thought that match with Sonic was pretty good, too. 2004 was when he started to really fall apart - if he ever had strength in the first place --- xyzzy |
