There's about a 1000 gap between Niko and Duke. We know GTA and other
casual series can do well during the day, but how the hell is Duke?
Keep in mind that this match will have weekend trends. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. Brawl FC: 3050-7287-5564 Kart FC: 3738-0020-0896 |

How great would it be to see Marth/Duke/Niko duking it out for first
while Kefk'as playing a reasonable game of catch-up for the last two
hours? Here's to hoping..... --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

I don't see Marth losing this match unless he defies all Nintendo
trends and blows during the day. My bracket is really hoping Niko slips
by though. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. Brawl FC: 3050-7287-5564 Kart FC: 3738-0020-0896 |

greatone10 (#401) Duke's doing too well right now for me to say he'll still be going up in the morning. I think he and Kefka (once he stops sucking) will end up winning the night while Marth and Niko shine during the day. Then again, this match has been "lol trends" so far so who knows. --- Moltar Status: augh Duke/Kefka/Marth/Niko - Bracket: Marth > Niko - Vote: Marth (4/8) |

Kefka still has, what, four hours until the later weekend morning vote
kicks in? He should be under 27% by then, and the overall poll should
look beautifully even. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

this match kind does live up to the hype,all characters have over 20% and the order was pretty unpredictable. --- Del Boy:He who dares, wins! |

That's also not to say that Duke will do badly during the day. He'll probably just coast through. --- Moltar Status: augh Duke/Kefka/Marth/Niko - Bracket: Marth > Niko - Vote: Marth (4/8) |

Yeah, I'm with ya; I'm still big on Marth winning, and Niko's got a
reasonable-yet-kinda-small way of catching up. For my bracket, I have
to root for that... ...but come on Duke. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

Really, the only guarantee we have for the day is that Kefka will suck
ass. It would be like Tanner scoring > 10% in a poll if Kefka didn't
bleed votes during the day. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. Brawl FC: 3050-7287-5564 Kart FC: 3738-0020-0896 |

Wow I got Marth > Duke, after what Shadow did yesterday I thought that I had no chance to get this match correct. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. EC > Me |

Eh, I think you can stick a fork in Niko. While Kefka and the Duke are
managing to keep pace with Marth, Niko's the only one that's still
losing updates consistently. And GTA characters aren't that good during
the day, at least not in comparison to a Nintendo character. Kefka will
probably keep this really close all night until the day vote comes and
he just dies. And all of us Marth > Duke guys will say "aww yeah" --- Arsenal FC 3-0-1 Pts: 9 Pos: 3rd character battle vii ; final fantasy vii. do you believe |

But Marth seems to lose updates all the time now. Then again a Smash Bros guy should have no problem with that once the kiddies wake up right? --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. EC > Me |

Marth shouldn't have too many problems. He built up a decent lead that
he should have enough to withstand whatever happens here until the day. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. Brawl FC: 3050-7287-5564 Kart FC: 3738-0020-0896 |

Considering how much Ike chewed up the ASV last year against Gordon/Guybrush/Duke, Marth should be fine. >_> --- i am false |

Marth's got first in the bag. Duke's 95% got second, with that 5% being
Niko. Duke's looking to have a 1800-ish lead going into the day -
something Ike almost pulled off. I doubt Niko can pull that off, but
I've seen weirder things. --- xyzzy "Man...tranny gets bored, the rest of us suffer." -satai |

Niko has a shot, though it will require Duke sucking during the day,
and GTA being the best it can be during the day. The best hope for him
is that being an Xbox exclusive will have some of the Xbox Game Fuel
rub off on him. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. Brawl FC: 3050-7287-5564 Kart FC: 3738-0020-0896 |

well if I want my 2 points either Duke is gonna have to pull ahead of Marth or Niko's gonna have to beat Duke it's not looking like either will happen at this point :( --- http://img.imgcake.com//christ2.gif http://img.imgcake.com//dannynoriegaanimated.gif Mer We rockin' stilettos, ho! |

Hey, is Niko making something out of these dead hours right now or are
the last two updates flukes? I thought Kefka and Duke would be doing
this. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. Brawl FC: 3050-7287-5564 Kart FC: 3738-0020-0896 |

Duke just dropped off in the last few updates, and it erases nearly a full hour of cutting Marth. --- Got crushed by Explicit Content in the Guru Contest! http://www.scorehero.com/scores.php?user=6054&group=4&game=6&diff=4 |

General rule is that 1-2 updates = a fluke, while 3 = a trend. Let's see... --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Last year, ahaha, I'm not used to a contest being this year yet. Every time Niko's done this before, Duke's followed it up by piling on a good number of votes. It's like Shadow occasionally stalling Zidane for no reason in the dead of night yesterday. It looked cool....but it didn't mean anything. >_> --- i am false |

Niko's got a great shot here if his day vote is good. You would think
GTAIV being the first real Xbox GTA game that he'd have a killer day
vote -- nevermind the fact that GTA characters should already be good
during the day. This site having a thing for the 360 could only help
there, too. Duke's looking good, but he wins or loses this on how good
of a day vote Niko's got. --- let's mosey |

It's also funny that we got a quasi-rematch between GTA and Kefka going on. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. Brawl FC: 3050-7287-5564 Kart FC: 3738-0020-0896 |

yep, and it looks like Niko is essentially equal to Vercetti. we had a different start time for that though. for reference, Marth should own the morning while Niko should rock the afternoon. supposedly, that is. Vercetti's decent in the day, but not amazing. gotta hope there's some xbox love there, which is a longshot but still possible. --- xyzzy "Man...tranny gets bored, the rest of us suffer." -satai |

Hey, another good Niko update. They are beginning to appear a bit more
consistently now. Even if Niko just trades them back and forth, he can
still at least stall everyone else. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. Brawl FC: 3050-7287-5564 Kart FC: 3738-0020-0896 |

drop. It's always entertaining watching his matches. =P --- Smurf. The cream of Sonic Fanboyism you're like some devious internet fiend- Majin |

One thing that doesn't sit well with me is that Tommy and CJ never had
an especially good day vote. Is it because Niko's on the Xbox that he's
expected to storm the day like Fenix or Master Chief? --- Smurf. The cream of Sonic Fanboyism you're like some devious internet fiend- Majin |
