Nice stalling by Wesker. Lead has been at 58 for 20 minutes now. --- Who the hell do you think you are getting off being so egotistical like that? - hochiminh155 to Takfloyd_mkII__ |

Prediction: In about 3 hours (basing this on Claire VS Kairi and Jill
VS Peach) Wesker will start a comeback, hopefully he won't be that far
away about that time. Why couldn't this match be over by now? It's going to be 9 long hours at work for me. >_> Or will it start already? Who knows, but this match is to early to call. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Proud supporter of Knuckles and Magus in Character Battle VI |

I'm not ready to say Wesker loses. I'm sure its already been said but
I'm saying it too. In a 1vs1 Lara would likely win by a decent margin.
However, with Sora in the mix, he should be taking a ton of the casual
support Lara would be getting during the day. Not that Wesker has a
good day vote, but Sora may save him. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site. We're not going to strip out the soul of the site. -CJayC |

WESKAAR's day vote should be anything but good. But he's doing a bang-up job thus far in this format, so who knows? --- Go ahead ********! Fire away! I've got a big turkey dinner here that says you don't have enough bullets to take down my hungry ***! ~ MG2 Run |

during school vote is RE's best time traditionally, if I remember
right.. Wesker may actually take the lead back assuming that the
morning vote doesn't kill him too badly. --- ZFStix: nin nin nin ima ninja!!! nin nin nin XD ZFStix: kill it |

I was doubtful Wesker followed the typical RE during school trends, but
it appears he kinda does. Lloyd Irving just steamrolled him but Kefka
and Luca both dropped kinda significantly at that block. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

Is Tomb Raider still a thriving series? I know UC is a fairly anticipated Wii game and RE5 is a widely anticipated 360/PS3 game, but I know nothing of any future Tomb Raider games. Granted I don't search out the information so I could be wrong, but I was under the impression Tomb Raider was dying out.

Wesker's going to catch up and take second. Book it! I'm due for
missing four points in this division (the other two lost points will be
tomorrow, unless PoP pulls something crazy and beats out Subby for
second (yeah, right). Seriously, though, Sora not even at 40%? This competition is weaker than Zero's, yet Sora is matching Zero's score at the moment. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

We can hope that Wesker's day vote improves, while Lara's early morning
vote is just a fake premonition for the afterschool vote (and that Sora
and Daxter take it all instead)... that's happened before (I know it
happened with Rayman recently). =P I doubt it, though. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

Lara just kept on gaining ever since morning hit. And Wesker wasn't
much ahead of Lara anyways, some 100-150 votes at most....I thought
Wesker had it though. Was wrong. She's been making big gains recently. Went from 450 to 670 lead within 30 mins. --- Dec 9, 01,Chris Jericho started a new era when he became the first superstar to unify the World Championship Titles of both WCW and WWF. |

Well, it did give the match the second biggest vote totals of the

falling...not to mention possible MM/Zelda SFF. --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

Upon waking up, I see that Wesker and Lara have basically switched
percentages, and Sora's performance is still middling at best. He
better hope that the kiddies still love him...right now Snake > Ryu
H. looks like a certainty, because if Sora is struggling to break 40%
against Lara Croft, Wesker, and Daxter, KH has definitely fallen since
last year. This makes Samus > Scorpion look more likely, too,
considering how poorly Frog did against Axel. --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe! Political Compass: -0.38, -4.21 |

but I was under the impression Tomb Raider was dying out. Anniversary
did good, I know that, but anything new on the horizon? Tomb Raider 8 was already announced IIRC, but absolutely nothing on it yet. And given the exposure Anniversary got - here, at least - then no, it's certainly not dying out.

Come on Sora. 1 vote lead increase? This is embarrassing. Aside from
Axel, Kingdom Hearts has been performing horribly. And depending on the
level of beat down Frog may be receiving from Scorpion next round,
Axel's performance may not look so good either. --- 91/116. Today : Sora > Lara. Tomorrow : Gordon > Ike *One_Winged_Ange* |

Mega Man > Yoshi Yoshi beat Knuckles quite hard in the first match, and is rightfully the favourite by a wide margin, the weird Mega-Yoshi SFF could still screw things up though. 65% Samus > Scorpion Scorpion impressed, while Frog blew it against Axel, and you're not telling me Axel is beating Scorpion anytime soon. I would honestly be stunned if Frog won, but then again, it's Frog, and having Samus sapping some casual support could hurt Scorpion. 70% Cloud > Marcus Between Marcus doing great in the first round, and Ocelot having some of his Playstation support sapped by Cloud, Marcus should be the favourite, but it's still pretty much up in the air. 55% Auron > Bowser Auron has now looked stronger than Bowser for 2 years, but Bowser's first round match, while pretty pathetic, doesn't really tell us anything about his strenght. Not being a fan favourite could hurt him though, in my eyes, Auron>Ryu is more likely than Bowser>Auron. 40% Sephiroth > Fox Pretty obvious match, Fox saps away all the SSB support Meta Knight got, and wins pretty easily. 99% Mario > Magus Magus might have sucked it up in round 1, but he's still not bad enough to lose to the likes of Big Boss or Phoenix, obvious match. 100% Link > Vincent Third match in a row which can only go one way. 100% Crono > Zero Easy string of matches here, Zero might have sucked, but Raiden sucked harder. 100% Ganondorf > Luigi Ganondorf and Luigi SFFing each other to give Mudkipz first place imo. As great as the whining would be, it still has a small chance of happening. 95% Master Chief > Yuna Yuna did pretty bad last round, but her 2k6 performance still inspires enough faith in me to take her over the likes of Liquid and Alucard. 80% Dante > Ada Wong I can't accept this happening, because it would kill my Leon upset in the third round, so no chance, Dante will sap all Ada's support! 0% Leon > Pikachu As much as it pains me, this is looking like the most likely option right now, Vivi still has a good chance to pull it off though. 60% Kratos > Kirby With Kirby and DK SFFing each other, L-block could sneak by(this sounds familiar?), the chances of this happening are higher than Mudkip's in any case. 80% Snake > Ryu Hayabusa One can't make much of an argument for Riku, outside of the three badasses affecting each other in some way, I don't know, Riku might surprise here. 50% Squall > Aeris I have this in my bracket and still support it, Sora is doing rather average right now, and the Aeris-Sora 2k3 match is still hard to forget. Then again, Sora did have KH2 in the meantime while Aeris has pretty much become a laughing stock. 55% Sonic > Sub-Zero (getting ahead of myself here) I said it before, I will say it again, Gordon will beat Sub-Zero easily. 0% |

Mega Man > Yoshi 75%. Comparing Knuckles and Shadows' disappointing performances to Yoshi's devastating beat down, this should be clear. Mega Man may do some SFF damage, but I doubt it. Samus > Scorpion 70%. Scorpion would definitely beat Frog one on one. Perhaps Frog's diehard fanbase can still get him through? With how that theory's been doing, I doubt it. It can happen though. Cloud > Marcus 70%. Marcus impressed a lot, and Ocelot and Kefka are losing votes to Cloud. Auron > Bowser 50%. Ryu was damn impressive last round. I can see him taking 2nd over Bowser. Sephiroth > Fox 98% Only real outcome. Mario > Magus I'd like to say 85%, but there's always a chance there'll be a Naked Snake pic. 80%. Link > Vincent 99%. This is happening. Crono > Zero 95%. Easy matches here Ganondorf > Luigi 70%. The most likely outcome, but Luigi may come in first. Master Chief > Yuna 75%. Alucard may try something, but Yuna should by all means take second. Dante > Ada Wong 50%. Tough one, this. Balthier could pull through. I definitely hope he does. Who does Dante have more in common with? Baltier or Ada? Tough choice. Leon > Pikachu 45%. Pikachu, Tidus, Vivi. Anything can happen. If I had to pick one, I'd say Pikachu, but I wouldn't be surprised if it went differently. Kratos > Kirby 75%. I've said it before, I expect L-block to bomb compared to last round. And DK sure as hell isn't going to try anything. Snake > Ryu Hayabusa 80%. What's Riku gonna do? Combine his votes with another KH character and still lose? Get his votes stolen by Snake? Squall > Aeris 40%. Definitely possible, but I think Sora will finish in between them. Sonic > Sub-Zero (getting ahead of myself here) 70%. The Prince may try something, but this is definitely the most likely outcome. Gordon? Not very likely. --- 91/116. Today : Sora > Lara.
