I don't see how you people are calling what Marcus is doing a comeback. Ocelot's still gaining. Not as much, but still.

Ocelot is increasing his lead on Kefka, but Marcus is gaining on both. Hopefully Marcus will take the 3rd spot soon so it will be much easier for us to see who gains on who.

Ocelot is losing votes to Marcus, not gaining.

I think the comeback is going to be in full force once he passes Kefka. I.. think I like Marcus, but I just don't know what's going to happen here. either Marcus gets close and comes up short and he obliterates Ocelot come afternoon. I'm not sure which, though.

GO MARCUS!


He's gaining on Kefka, not on Marcus.

I'd expect Marcus to start kicking it into gear over the next 2 hours, and maintain that until the evening, where he and Ocelot will likely go even.

Ocelot is not gaining on Marcus. He cut 38 votes off his lead in the past 10 minutes. Not the most impressive comeback but it's progress

You have to remember, it's still before 8 on the west coast. Most people (teenagers especially) like to sleep in on the weekends. Noon-4 should be Marcus' prime time here.

Fenix will finish above Kefka, but I think Ocelot is safe. He's still 1200 votes ahead of Fenix, a lead that only Phoenix Wright has managed to drop in this format.


Uhh.. Frog lost 1900 votes and only won because of cheating at the very end.

Oh, and Marcus is kicking the crap out of Ocelot right now, I'd say he has this. Not over yet of course but he's impressing me.

Marcus Fenix, Kefka, Revolver Ocelot, they're all cool guys, but I can't stand Cloud, and yet everyone likes him, is it the spiky hair?

If Marcus keeps going at this speed it'll take him like 7 hours just to catch up with Ocelot. By which point it'll be catching up with Ocelot time again. Could go down to the wire, maybe?

Or Fenix could just speed up and bury revolver soon.

I suppose I shouldn't be too worried. If my dorm suite is any indication, most of the Xbox players should still be asleep.

I keep reading this as

Wait till the teenage drunks wake up!

Or something to that effect. Given what happened with GTA, we may not want to jump to that kind conclusion. Though it would be funny...

And besides: Are we really saying that Ocelot is getting the KIDDY VOTE?

Marcus has sliced off 200 since I last checked, most of it being pretty recent. I'd feel better if the comeback was more consistent, but eh.

Wait, we pay attention to those two? I was excited when Amaterasu left the first round. I could care less that Link will probably win. Again. Then again, a high-profile user has Cloud winning all this...

Haha, awesome. Nice to see Cloud over 55% and still gaining. Great showing from him.

Surprising to see Ocelot holding up as well as he is. Hopefully he can hold on here.

There'll no doubt be a dropoff next year for Xbox characters, the question is how much. Given how dramatically Tommy has slided since Vice City in 2 years time they could all be fodder.

Gears of War was really popular. The question is, will the sequal be on the 360 or the next gen. console? Also, will it stay a Microsoft exclusive?
