I'm thinking Alucard sucks less than Liquid, by the way. Liquid doing better as the night vote gets more pronounced makes it seem like it will be the other way around come daytime...

Why would 5:00 AM be a more pronounced Night Vote than 3:00 or 4:00 AM though? Because it's later than 2:00 in all major American time zones?

the later you go, the more pronounced a night vote is. the afterschool vote is at its most pronounced at ~5-6pm, even though most people are out of school earlier than that.

I'm starting to regret bracket-voting Liquid.

At least it's starting to look like picking Ness to lose won't screw me over for the first time since 2k3.

Man, the morning vote can't come soon enough...Ness is losing updates regularly to Zidane now...

he's lost 150 votes off his lead there. aw yeah.

I wonder if he can turn this around.. I mean, I know their day votes are bad, but when you're losing updates by a full 15%? a mere stall looks good in comparison.

I'm not at all surprised about this, but why exactly is FFIX so ridiculously weak on this site compared to VII/VIII/X? Do the character designs turn off casuals that much?

It's my 3rd favorite after VI and VII.

no idea. it baffles me. the game isn't hated - people are just apathetic about it. it's like the game doesn't exist.

those games also have Kingdom Hearts cameos - FF9 is, for the most part, invisible to that series.

Ness has lost nearly 400 votes to Liquid this hour, and something like 300 to Alucard.

have fun turning that one around! I expect some turnaround, but... that's a tall order if you're going to bleed that hard overnight.

ha. even Zidane's ripping into him now.

by morning, the lead between Alucard (Liquid?) and Ness is going to be equal to his lead over Zidane.

Yeah, I don't think Ness is coming back from this. He still has one more hour of beatdown to go.

...so who will get first, Alucard or Liquid?

Otherwise feel the METAL PHEAR.

One final thought for the evening/morning:

Liquid > Alucard puts hochiminh back in first place of the Guru alone, and he can't even be around to gloat about it.

LOL Alucard lost an update to Zidane.

XD, Alucard praying for daylight, this is so wrong.

Feelin good about Ness being out of this, Smash or not I don't think he can swing 1500-2000ish. Not here. Alucard > Liquid is very iffy at this point... though Liquid's day vote has shown to be nothing to be proud of unless he's got an exception in the villains contest. I know he went 50-50 with Frog, gimme a break on that.

Based on the fact that Alucard was getting more of the vote towards the beginning of the poll I'm inclined to take him for the day vote... and yeah, X-Box Live arcade... seriously!

... THIS IS WRONG I SAY.

well, this is still night time - just look at Ness losing updates big to Zidane. if he's doing this in two hours, I'll be seriously worried. for now, it's just Liquid taking advantage of the dead hours.

If Sam Fisher can steal a thousand votes from me in the day time, I'm sure Alucard can steal a thousand from Liquid Snake.

I mean, even if he is a vampire, Sam Fisher is probably weaker against sunlight, the guy's already allergic to no less than forty five common everyday foods. It's just a conspiracy to hold MGS characters back in the day time. Crono cheated or something.

Blah. Alucard has no chance at winning the day vote. His Live Arcade support is going to disappear because all of the Xbox owners left to camp outside of 7/11 immediately after voting for Chief yesterday. =/

Go Ness make it to second so I don't get any hideous 1/0 point matches! D:
