LFF is by far the biggest factor, and that's not what's helping L-Block. It's been helped by fanbase splitting for two rounds straight now - it would've probably beaten Kirby without it, sure, but it is certainly getting favorable circumstances (not on the level of Pikachu, but again, even he's not stronger than Vivi). oh JUSTICE --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package. |

I think Riku will actually have a better day vote than Kratos, though Kratos should open this up quite a bit overnight. if L-Block advances Cloud can kiss his unexpected record bye-bye We already figured L would advance here, but I didn't think of that. Cloud's had that record forever, even when it looked like it would be broken it wasn't. Pretty cool. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

This is probably what will happen, sadly. Anyway, with Snake's epic comeback in full swing now with that huge cut, I'm going to sleep. Night! ^.^; ~~~ Ashe.

I don't mind the Block -- but it's Solid Snake! I've never played MGS. I've played Tetris for hundreds of hours probably :) It took Snake 50 minutes to win 3 votes over a Tetris block. XD --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

| And considering the disparity in their voting
trends, Snake stalling L-Block a paltry ten minutes before Kratos did
isn't impressive at all. This isn't as bad a performance as Snake/Frog
(...somehow), but it's still a pretty sad showing from him. --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package. |

overestimating it but the constant F5 must be taking up a not
insignificant toll on your bandwidth (even though the site is mostly
text). Eh, I pay like over 20 grand a year in hosting, I have a couple dedicated servers and a bunch of VPSes that I haven't even logged into in ages. I have like dozens of times the bandwidth I'll ever use :) CPU/memory resources are a much bigger deal, though this site doesn't really take up that many I think. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
