They're practically going 50-50 now. That'll probably last until the last few hours...

Squall has done fantastically this contest. Although L-Block, MC and Pikachu are obviously the #1-3 stars of this contest in terms of expectations, Squall definitely shouldn't be far behind them. And he did everything he did in spite of LFF, rather than because of it like Pikachu and Ryu.

What's LFF again?

And oh look, 13 vote gain for L-Block. :D

And compouned with a 20 vote gain!

2007-11-01 16:51:54 49.68% 50.32% 30802 31200 62002 398
2007-11-01 15:31:01 49.64% 50.36% 27515 27913 55428 398

One hour and 20 minutes of work nullified. :-)

This match is looking more and more certain for L-Block. Snake's totally lost any semblance of momentum that he would need to come back. =D

IF L-Block wins Sonic > Snake people get more points than Snake > Sonic people. RIDICULOSITY

I am one of those people and it was a mistake too. I meant to put Snake>Sonic but I rushed it and mixed them up I guess.

Hooraah for L Block!

I'm cracking up at the fact that Block has basically stayed around the same position of a 400-370 vote lead for a good hour or so now. What a beast.

If that last hour is indicative of the ASV this isn't going to go much of anywhere for a while. But L-Block is looking about as good as he can to win

In thoery, Squall should be beating Sonic right now. I fear Block might hurt Square characters... Not good for Cloud... And I really need Cloud > Link. L-Block > Link or Cloud > L-Block would net me 64 points while everyone else gets 32 points. 32 points isn't enough to cover the gap. However, Cloud > Link nets me 128 points while everyone else gets 64 points. 64 points IS enough to cover the gap.

Man, props to the Block for holding out. I'm a bit surprised it's managed to hold on during the after school vote. It shouldn't have any problems making the finals. Good show.

looks like I was right about the afterschool vote being a massive stall.. I just thought L would have a bigger lead (about 500 votes more). 9pm and on could be especially ugly here.. I have confidence in the epic L-Block rally though!

(maybe not)

I'd believe Snake is hurting Squall before I'd say L-Block is doing so- besides, Squall's performance here is in line with expectations- he looks like he'll finish about the same distance, maybe a little closer, to Sonic than last round- that is, what translates into a 51-49 match.

This like the MLB playoffs all over again.

The top half is clearly the AL, and this bottom half the NL.


L-Block is clearly the Rockies. And Master Chief will come crashing down next round...making him the Mets.

When did L-Block get so good with the day vote? He's getting stronger each round. What have you guys created??

Seriously. He's like one of those movie monsters that grows a new limb or develops a new ability every time he appears on camera.

It doesn't need to be much to be enough. Snake makes it a barnburner at the end even at his current pace.

I think L-Block has this. Snake's pace has been really slow, and L should have the rally advantage at the end.

It's amazing that we're less than 6 hours away from a Link/Cloud match, and no one is talking about it at all.

I think we'll be looking at a 300 vote lead until about 9pm, when Snake will sloooowly gain momentum. by 11 he should be cutting easily.

that's when rallying comes in. who knows?

This is all Donkey Kong's fault. Back in Round 2 when L-Block was losing badly to KRATOS, L-Block could have very well lost to Kirby had DK not been LFFing him.

Just want to reaffirm Kirby is the only character to break 40% on the unstoppable L-Block.

So if you're nomming L-Block next year, don't forget to push Kirby to a 1 seed as well. Link killer confirmed!

(yes i know its flawed but its a good spin opportunity)
