we're having so many comebacks in this contest that it drives me crazy

else's lead off. --- Today: Crono > Raiden - Vote: Crono Tomorrow: Zero > HK-47 - Vote: Zero - Points: 46/56 |

I'm not worried about Raiden here. And I've been pretty good at calling
these close matches this year. I gave up on Bomberman early in the
match, but stuck with Marcus and Frog. TuRtLe ~~~ 44/56 in the contest. Next pick: Crono > Raiden BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Yeah, Raiden's got this one. He's just going to stall Fisher at worst
until the end of the match by now. Sam's window of opportunity is
closed shut. I feel ya buddy. I just hope Raiden was the overall favorite for second so that if Sam wins, I don't take too much damage. Honestly, I fully expect Sam to be the favorite for #2. He had 65% taking him past Gordon (Remember, Leon was an underdog), and 30% apparently thought he could beat DK. By the way, someone tell me why Vincent only had 62% taking him to round 2? How in the world did 38% of people expect Tails or The Boss to beat him? --- Vote for Serge. |

And as far as Crono's performance is concerned, he's doing just what he
needed to do. He's not going to get 50% when it's all said and done,
but 48-49% is good enough. --- Vote for Serge. |

Only 25% of brackets took Vincent to beat Dante back in 2005, if I
recall correctly. And just when I'm about to call this one over, Sam
cuts 37 votes off the lead. --- Character Battle VI -- Points: 45/56 -- T-132 (48 way) Bracket: Crono > Sam Fisher -- Vote: Crono |
| BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 9/17/2007 5:02:30 PM | message detail |
|
Like I said earlier, 47-53% is the range Crono should have fallen in.
Anything less would be disappointing, anything more would be Vincent
not having a chance. TuRtLe ~~~ 44/56 in the contest. Next pick: Crono > Raiden BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Sam should decline a bit towards the end of the poll, but I wouldn't be
surprised if Raiden stayed in the 19-21% range he's been in almost the
entire day. I guess the only question is how much will Sam slow down. --- Mustache...and green... www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

Double Agent was actually seen as a disappointment by SC fans. Believe it or not, there are two versions of Double Agent by two different developers and the only thing that differentiates the versions are a couple levels. It was just very screwy though with Conviction coming out it looks to set it right. --- Today's Subliminal Thought Is: |

And on weekdays we know there's not really so much of a 'night vote' as it is a 'night stall'. Not that I expected Fisher to accelerate as we got closer to the night hours, so Raiden may be in trouble yet... or it may be Fisher just being inconsistent again. --- delicious cats Commit it to memory. |

I think it'd be a combination of both.

Those last two updates were Sam dropping WAY off. Might be a result of
