I'm really surprised by Liquid! I expected that Liquid and Alucard
would continue to trade blows evenly, with Alucard taking the slight
lead. (damn picking the wrong order. I'll have hope as long as the lead
remains under 1000) Anyway, watching Liquid right now, I have to wonder about MGS...Either MGS characters just really excel in this format, or Snake's increase last year was more than just him in the end... --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl.

You know, if Alucard can keep stalling (which he has been for awhile
outside of that one big jump by LS) and keep this in the 500-800 range,
I'd still give him a chance come nightfall. He certainly owned the
12:30-5:00 Night Vote. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

Alucard's largest lead was 392. And since the 9-12 night vote is weaker
than the 12-5, I think he'll need to keep Liquid closer than that to
have a chance. --- Wow, an intelligent criticism of Zeta. Never thought I'd see the day. - AmuroNT1 |

range, I'd still give him a chance come nightfall. He certainly owned
the 12:30-5:00 Night Vote. The biggest comeback ever with the evening vote was when Frog cut 600 votes against MC in the last 4.5 hours of the poll. Alucard's no Frog, Liquid's no MC, and polls ended 3 hours later in 2k4. Alucard has to hope for continuous cuts all day to take the win. --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

Wow, the closest match certainly isn't the most exciting, since no lead is moving at all. Except Ness's over Zidane... Anyway, stupid Frog. Axel winning would've been the only good thing in the contest so far, but you guys had to ruin it. You want big surprises and comebacks, but only if its in favor of your dumb overrated board 8 fanboy characters. </whiiiiiiiiiiiiiine> --- caps |

You probably don't think that I can force this towel down your throat.
But trust me, I can. All the way. Except I'd hold onto this one little
bit at the end. When your stomach starts to digest it, I pull it out.
Taking your stomach lining with it. For most people it would take about
a week to die. It's very painful. --- http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/2931/ivotededgeworthck7.png |

By the way, what are the current guesses for Division 6? In taking
another look at it, it certainly does appear to be easier than Division
5, with the second day cluster**** being the only real question mark. --- RIP Eddie Guerrero 1967-2005 Chris Benoit 1967-2007 Can't get enough voting contests? Give Touhou Project's Seimoe a try! http://seimoe.shrinemaiden.org/ |

I think it does, although my reasoning was as much guesswork as anyone else's. I meant the trends. Alucard and Liquid aren't budging. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." - Joseph Stalin |

I'm pissed that this was my best shot of getting on the leaderboard, cause I'm royally screwed next division. Between having Matt the Mii in 2nd (Damn you WIIPHEAR!!!!) and having ADA > Baltheir (I seriously don't know what the **** I was thinking)... --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl.

I bracketed Yuna, but i wish I'd pick Liquid. Liquid was my against the
board underdog pick, and I wish I'd stuck by him for another round. I
honestly see him smashing Yuna because of sexist FAQs, and because he's
already winning with a bad pic. --- Contest pts: 64 (leaderboard position #27) Today: Liquid>Alucard |

Well, this one is over. Ness is falling back and Liquid is moving
ahead. Unless something funky happens later, 1 point for me confirmed. --- Moltar Status: The Analysis Crew...believe Alucard/Liquid/Ness/Zidane - Bracket: Alucard > Ness - Vote: Liquid (68/76) |

as a MGS fanboy, I'm really happy to see Liquid kicking some ass today.

Freakin' Snake!! don't forget the dude controlled Ocelot's body. AS AN
ARM! And finally a debatable match in this contest when I get 4 points. If it stays like this... --- Litfiba: the best Italian rock Band ever. |

So it looks like Ness' day vote's going to be canceled out soon.
Thankfully, Liquid looks to have 1st safe so I still end up with 2
points. --- Finally a damn bracket! http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

what a weird match. I wouldn't say Alucard's chances are completely gone, but they look pretty bad here. the fact that nobody is really moving much in percentage puzzles me. Ness is going up, but he's not gaining votes, and he's certainly not going to make it to second. good show, Liquid. you were all that was expected pre-match and then some. --- xyzzy http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

116 gurus had Ness advancing to the next round. In comparison, Alucard
has 172 brackets with him in 1st or 2nd and Liquid only has 64 bringing
him through. --- Finally a damn bracket! http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

I don't know if anyone's noticed, but Alucard has been cutting for the

Yeah, Alucard probably won't be coming back here. The two guys have
