L Block was obviously slowing down at this point last match and yet
here hes still getting 100 vote gains. Saying that he's guaranteed to
lose this is a mistake. --- Demyx is better than Axel. |

I think L-Block actually has a good chance to hold onto the lead here.
He only fell 9% or so from here to the end relative to Snake last
round, and the gap is bigger that that right now. As for Sonic, he could only bring Snake's percentage from 58% to 55% last year. He's finished. And he just lost 2 updates in a row to Squall. --- 8/30/03. Remember. |

Come to think of it this would be ten times more hilarious if crono didn't already lose. Heh :) Funny thing is, this will give people the perfect reason (excuse?) to keep sticking with the "Noble Nine" concept. They'll use it as a way to dismiss Vincent's win by way of dismissing the whole contest - even though I think most here would agree that Vincent takes Crono 1-on-1 anyway. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

We're only 500 over Cloud/Marcus/Auron/Ryu, for example. That's still 500 ahead of a big vote draw, and it doesn't change the fact that it is Halloween. I'm not saying it's needing stuffing to win, but it's definitely happening. --- I'm the most important member of GAMEFAQs, and they didn't even reserve an account for me!?!? |

L should follow more or less the same pattern - pulling in 30% with
the night and 26% with the day, ending around 29% - but Snake has to
start his run from 26% rather than 30%. This match isn't quite over
yet. :) It isn't over, but it's now a two way race between snake and L, with sonic struggling to maintain a little dignity and stay ahead of squall. --- sig |

Seriously, isn't this site really polarized in terms of Cloud or
Link, as in, your soul belongs to one of these two? L-Block doesn't
have a chance of leading for more than a couple of minutes with these
favorites in the poll ( whoever is 4th is pretty much arbitrary) I largely agree, because I think pictures are a big part of his strength. If it was loyalty, L would lead the finals for a very, very long time. But I think L-Block is at his strongest right now, and he won't be able to manage to lead Link and Cloud too long. I think he'll lead for under an hour there, myself. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

You know what? I dare say it, but L-Block's day-vote is going to be
much better tomorrow/today than his past matches...despite Sonic, Solid
looking like he should, and a KH1/2-supported Squall. His classic
pictures make him far more nostalgia-inspiring, and I think many more
kids will get the joke and will buy into it enough to vote for it and
show some support... ...I call it the Hot Topic Factor -- it's an old-school video game icon that is making high-schoolers enjoy life again compared to, of course, their emo-based sadness that haunts them every day. Put L-Block on a t-shirt and add the slogan "Shaped like an L to kick your ass," and it will sell the **** out there. L-Block is winning because of its potential to be the greatest thing Hot Topic ever sells. --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board.

They'll use it as a way to dismiss Vincent's win by way of
dismissing the whole contest - even though I think most here would
agree that Vincent takes Crono 1-on-1 anyway. I don't think anyone should "dismiss" Vincent's win. Noble Nine or not, I think we're all in agreement that he'd give Crono hell in a straight match, and, like you said, I'm assuming most would take him to win. However, I simply don't think the Noble Nine should be dissolved based on a contest like this. It makes little sense. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

even though I think most here would agree that Vincent takes Crono 1-on-1 anyway. i hope you realise though that that match was heavily lopsided towards Vincent.he came from Zelda enemy number one so Link wasn't stealing much from him,not to mention he was the ONLY playstation character in the match.he was the "different" one.Zero,Link and Crono all have reasons to share some fanbase,while Vincent has absolutely NONE to share ANY with any of those. I'd even say Crono looked better than Sonic this year,seeing as Sonic beat Squall by only like 2% in a match that favored HIM(Sora in the poll). |

How big would L-Block's lead over Snake have to be in order for L-Block to be a "guaranteed win"? 2,000? 3,000? 4,000? It's almost 1,500 now. |

Hey, L-Block always had a chance to get first here. Don't listen to creativename he's a big negative meanie weanie. He says to the guy who's had more faith in L-Block than just about anyone else :0) Seeing as he'll be facing weaker guys while probably maintaining a similar percentage, he probably won't look as impressive, but he'll still have no trouble taking care of Chief and Dante. The next round is pretty much in the bag for Snake and L-Block. I agree. It's not a total lock by any means, but L has to be the big favorite for 2nd. Also, Dante will look like crap. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

L will drop more than he did last match. The competition is tougher. And the early vote is more loyal/static. I'm not sure I buy that. He's gotten 26% during the day the last two matches despite having pretty strong day vote characters in each - this is actually a step down in that regard if you ask me. --- Mustache...and green... www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

Honestly I'd take both Squall and Vincent over Sonic one-on-one right
now. (Squall's just cut 4 updates in a row, he has an outside chance of
taking 3rd today, even). As for Crono.....I've thought for a long time
that Crono has a strong overlap with SNES characters, so I'd still take
him over Vincent one-on-one. But it wouldn't surprise me at all if
Vincent won. --- 8/30/03. Remember. |

I agree with the latter part of your post, red sox. I'd take Crono over Vincent right now.

So Snake swung about 6,100 votes in the last round (down 600 to up 5,500). L-Block's already more than doubled his largest lead of the last round. It looks like L-Block's going to get 2nd at the very least. If L-Block manages to extend his lead to 3,000, I'd say it's safe to call him the winner of this round. |
