Assuming the Bag doesn't get through, Cube and Block meet in the Final
and the support is split, resdulting in a bog standard Link > Cloud
final. Unless the split isn't even then it's a joke > Link or Link > joke depending on how severe the split is and obviously who it goes to. --- IMO. |

We are reaching the end of the ASV. I don't think Sandbag is going to
be able to finish this. Even if it takes the lead, the night vote is
infamous in favoring CT. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. Brawl FC: 3050-7287-5564 Kart FC: 3738-0020-0896 |

..This is normal. Updates almost always go back and forth like this
when it's transitioning between night and ASV (as well as night and
morning, morning and school). --- but during the time bands are unknown, they aren't good. the moment they are discovered and well known then they become better. - Humpa |

That was an aberration for both Magus AND Sandbag. While Shepard and
Sonic's votes stayed the same, Magus went down and Sandbag went up. --- ""--Banjo |

okay, the ASV doesn't end at 7pm. it just keeps on going. let me check Frog.. Axel took the lead at 8pm and didn't start getting cut til 11pm. Sandbag's got at least another hour of dominance followed by three hours of small gains. it's a 438 vote lead. --- zfs: man i'm reading an argument about whether or not midna is fat zfs: come on mgs4 |

I'm not sure how to feel about the Link/Zidane/Zack/Wario pic. One one
hand, Zack looks kind of meh and Zidane looks as good as he ever will.
On the other hand, Link looks like ass and the better Link does the
worse Zack does. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

| Zack is a lot less recognisable with only his face and no Buster sword, it wouldn't shock me if he fell to Zidane there. |

Zidabe getting out of the division would be awesome. Squall Auron Tidus Oh those overrated chars gone but Zidane still in the contest. <3 To bad that Zack is even better :P --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. The 2008 Guru contest winner > Me |

Even if Zidane beats Zack I'm pretty scared of Altair. Marth and Duke
would be crushed by Link, but Altair just impressed so much. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

Round 2 is the close-up face pic round, I'm not sure what else you guys
expected out of Zack. You can't really put the Buster Sword in a
picture like that. --- Attention, all yoctograms! (It's x2) DIE! |

| Wait, where's this Magus 2nd night vote bandwagon coming from? I checked his matches last year and he continued dying with no recovery from the ASV in Round 1 last year and in Round 2 only started making improvements in the final hour and gained a ground total of 0.05% in that time. This isn't Frog guys. >_> |

Can someone call up Magus? Tell him to stop throwing the ****ing match away --- Today's prediction: SNOIC 44.60% - Magus 24.90% - Sandbag 15.50% - Shepard 15.00% Status: so very bad |

Sandbag trailing by 235 votes with 4 1/2 hours to go. It's gonna be close. Probably the closest yet. I picked Sonic and SB to win and this comeback will really help my ailing pickems. I started out pretty good but everything went to hell after bracket 4. |
| KamikazePotato | Posted 10/16/2008 4:25:41 PM | message detail |

At this rate Sandbag is going to steamroll Magus en route to an easy victory. Unless Magus starts stalling like, right now. *refresh* Right now means right now, Mr. Zeal. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

Also, let's give some credit to Shepard here. He's staying constant despite Sonic going down with the ASV. He won't be winning any matches anytime soon, but uber-fodder he aint. --- Bracket: http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=10 |

Why is everyone crucifying Magus for this? L-Block beat Ryu with The
Dog in the poll, WCC beat Tidus, Hogger beat Ramza and Laharl. If
anything Magus is overperforming in relation to Sonic. Magus isn't performing bad at all. However, if he blows a 2000 vote lead to a bag of sand it only cements how far he has fallen in these contests. He's like the anti-Frog. He never comes through when he needs to. --- Demyx is better than Axel. |

Can someone please remind me what the closest match so far this contest
was? Even though I could look it up and find it in like...2 minutes? --- caps |
| Smurf Alt | Posted 10/16/2008 4:31:00 PM | message detail |
| Magus has pulled this far closer than he had any right to, like Tidus he may be suffering an embarassing loss given the "character" he's losing to but stats wise this was very good showing for both of them and stops the rot they've had for the past few years since they both towered almost into the Noble 9 in that 2003 4-pack. |

I don't think it's embarrassing that Magus is going to lose to Sandbag.
I certainly didn't think Tidus losing to Cube was embarrassing. It's
embarrassing that he blew a 2000 vote lead like it was nothing. --- Demyx is better than Axel. |
