Do pics matter? Did Toon Link and Zero Suit Samus and Solid **** screw them up to losing/near losses? Pics definitely matter. Wind Waker Link making him lose to Cloud, I really really doubt it - I considered Cloud the favorite based on x-stats going into that match, before we knew about WW Link pic, because Cloud did better on Sonic than Link would have been estimated to do the previous year. But, I can't say that it's utterly impossible WW cost him the match. Zero Suit Samus and Solid **** had huge effects for sure. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

| His day vote is pretty bad, but whenever he goes against someone who isn't Kingdom Hearts or Nintendo, he seems to be at least competent with the day, which should be more than enough to prevent KOS-MOS from doing anything at all. |

Frog's largest lead on Axel: 1903 He's already well on his way here, and while I haven't really looked at KOS-MOS day vote history, in no way can she be Axel-like. Fair to call this one over. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

| I'd also like to point out that in Frog/Liquid, Liquid took the lead in the dead hours, and Frog built it back up with the morning vote. Liquid didn't go on his tear until the afternoon. |

What's with these random Frog / Ganon updates. They happen at the exact same time. >_> --- http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l53/xKyuzo/Frog20-20Laugh20Front.gif http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u205/MapleMasta/IkeClimbers2.jpg |

So, the pic's been up for half an hour now. At the last pre-pic update (12:55), Frog had a 10.4% lead on Kos-Mos. In that time, it's gone down by...1.55%? ...I...guess that's significant...? |

No, Frog won't win the day vote against KOS-MOS. Yes, this match is over. 1:30 in: Frog's lead on KOS-MOS: 1191 Frog's lead on Axel: 1069 Frog's percentage of Frog/KOS-MOS votes: 59.51% Frog's percentage of Frog/Axel votes: 58.92% --- Character Battle VII --- Score: 32/36 --- T-5 (72 way) Bracket: Ganondorf > Frog --- Vote: Frog |

After 30 minutes with the pic, I think we can pretty much put to rest
the notion the idea that KOS-MOS would be closer to Frog in terms of
vote gap if there had been a picture from the start. He'd be up by more. And it also seems likely that Neku was hurt the most by no picture, although that could also just be either his natural trend, or the fact that the first hour has more bracket-driven/who-you-want-to-win driven votes and the only match here is Frog vs. KOS-MOS. While you can never say never with Frog, it's tough to see KOS-MOS coming back here - she's bad with the day and Ganon will push both their percentages down so low that it will be tough for her to make up votes. But even if this is never a real match, we still got some of Frog's trademarked excitingness in terms of the no-picture-effect debate :) Frog now has a much worse day vote, all the CT characters do. This is true. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I've never seen that badass a pic of Gordon before (well, I think it
was used last year in the second round, but not with the HL symbol so
prominently displayed). Scorpion looks great too. Balthier got the best
