| Gordon with the after work vote comeback! |

Eh, not necessarily, KH. I mean he's almost winning this, but guess who is winning this. Duke Nukem. Ike isn't very strong right now, and I bet pre Smash Ness doesn't do that much worse on this pack, getting maybe 22-23%. Note I'm not saying it is all PoR, of course it's that site and possibly just default votes, frankly. I'm just saying Smash alone won't change high fodder into beasts. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

Gordon has picked up the pace these last 20 minutes. He needs to cut at least 135 votes an hour, so he has to keep it up. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Does it bother anyone else that when you get 1st and 2nd swapped,
someone who only had the number 2 guy in the right place gets as many
points as you? It just feels like such a worse prediction, but yet it earns the same amount of points. If someone were to only get 1st right, I have no problem with it, as they're only swapping 2nd and 3rd, but having the person who came in first not even placing just doesn't seem worthy to me. --- Explicit Content.

I like how Duke > Gordon is a better result for me than Gordon >
Duke, even though I picked Gordon > Ike, because my competition will
be getting an extra point. the scoring system is so messed up. --- xyzzy "And just to clear up any remaining confusion, tranny > icon." -Shaggy |

Yeah, getting only 2nd place right and still getting 2 points sketchy. --- Contest pts: 98 (leaderboard position #18) Today: Gordon>Ike |

Eh, second place is usually much harder to place though. Even though
you look more foolish when you get first wrong but second right, I
don't think it should be worth less points. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

EC is right. If you pick 2nd > 1st, you should get 3 points. and I'm in the same boat tranny, I even made a topic about it. --- http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png Squall > Sora is a lock. ~Lady Ashe |

neither is even close to being probable. it would take some wild last hour rally to change anything here. Ike went slower last hour than his previous one. not a good sign, though that's Gordon's fault more than his. --- xyzzy "And just to clear up any remaining confusion, tranny > icon." -Shaggy |

I think Sonic's going to be pretty far down there... but you can't
really blame him. His four pack might be the stiffest one with a 100%
clear winner. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

I noted this during the Liquid/Alucard match. This contest is awesome, but the scoring system can be pretty bad - however, it's not really a big deal. I think Sub-Zero's going to do well tomorrow. And I'd expect Sonic to underperform, except that I expect Viewtiful Joe to flop, so Sonic will have a bit more percentage to work with. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

If Ike is acting like high fodder here... he's probably mid-fodder if he's not facing three PC characters. --- "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." |

Oh, and let me say that I think it's probable that Sub-Zero will do
well enough tomorrow for a "Master Chief>Sonic" bandwagon will
start. And that bandwagon will be pretty dumb IMO. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

(!!) *cue 90s sitcom "OOOOOHHHHHH"* ... Hmmm, Ike's outpacing Axel now... but not by much. Axel chopped off 130 votes, Ike chopped off 180.

Wow, Ike's actually on target for a lead change at 9:30. It's
*extremely* unlikely that he pulls it off, but I didn't expect there to
be even the smallest possibility left when I came home after seeing him
not do much before 3:30. --- Mustache...and green... www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

People are doubting Sonic? I actually thought he'd do rather well in
this format. Of course he's no Snake as far as hardcore following goes,
but I thought he would have done rather well in the Battle Royal. I
would have taken him to beat out Mario and Samus. I always perceived
Sonic as having a hardcore fanbase of his own. --- Proud Supporter of Zero |

Eh, I have a feeling Ike's being rallied or something. The higher ups
on the leaderboard are probably Ike loaded, and they'd care enough to. Not to put a damper on his vote swing, but it just doesn't make any sense, really. Not that it matters either way anyway. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

were. --- Character Battle VI -- Points: 79/112 -- T-800 (210 way) Bracket: Squall > Aeris -- Vote: Aeris |
