Sonic with a very nice 27.44% update to start the hour. That's his best update the entire match!

Definitely a surprise. Folks who were expecting Sonic to lose here had Chief doing it instead.

Sonic's cutting already and generally on weekends the trend that starts now continues for the whole match, no way will he be cutting all day and not win at only 1000 down. No chance.

Since 7, Sonic's cut about 100 votes, with 80 of them coming from the previous.

At least Kirby's stalling for this hour.

Sonic is spiking more. >_> Notice those occasional 26% and 27% updates in between the more common 23% ones?

All Kirby's done is pull one 25% update.

Nope, typically Kirby loses 0.50% between now and the end of the poll while Sonic will gain 0.50%. This business of small Sonic cuts will probably go on for the rest of the match. Either Sonic wins or Kirby cheats in the dying hours, he won't be padding his lead and I doubt he can sit on 900 votes all match.
KamikazePotato | Posted 11/16/2008 6:27:35 AM | message detail

As a point of interest, Sonic was 1800 votes down to Crono at this time in the match. He won by 2000. ;)
Gaddswell | Posted 11/16/2008 6:29:12 AM | message detail
Even an 0.5% loss for Kirby and an 0.5% gain for Sonic would result in a Kirby win.

Right now, Kirby's ahead by 1.89%. Subtracting the total 1% there still results in a 0.89% Kirby advantage.

And that was against Crono, the guy with the below-average day vote. Kirby on the other hand, has an above-average day. Sonic won't be swinging nearly as many votes this time around.

Sonic's actually doing pretty well with this morning vote- didn't expect him to keep up with Kirby past 8 AM. If this were a weekday, that wouldn't be strange, as Sonic's best time is the morning while Kirby excels at the ASV and not so much at the morning, but it's the weekend so those are rolled into one long, weaker, day vote. Kirby should be safe though- he still has over 52% on Sonic, and he's way too good with the day vote to lose that.

sprottle, you don't get it. Kirby isn't crono.. crono's 2k6 morning/asv was abysmal, he only led sonic because of his strong opening hours. kirby wont fall apart anywhere near as much, but I dont think he has this locked yet

Nice to see Sonic not completely rolling over.

This contest was missing a completely out of nowhere upset that NOBODY could have seen it coming.

I think Jill > Ocelot was more random.

Kirby is good in the morning, just not as good as Sonic though.

Kirby is one of the best with the day vote from the Nintendo camp, Sonic is going to need to get his stuff together soon.

I'm sorry, but this sure looks like Sonic is STALLING Kirby with his Morning Vote with like a small cut every now and then.

It Sonic's Morning Vote is just going to stall Kirby, he's done for.
red sox 777 | Posted 11/16/2008 6:48:57 AM | message detail
Probably the day vote starting in earnest now. At this point I think Vincent, Squall, Auron, and Tifa would beat Sonic 1v1, although I definitely wouldn't count Sonic out next year. He's in the same position now that Snake was in during the 2005 contest.

Looking at past matches I dont see where Kirby has an amazing ASV. He has a great Power hour vote but for a Nintendo character his day vote looks to be one of the worst.
Sprottle | Posted 11/16/2008 6:51:53 AM | message detail
And Sonic is still increasing in % while Dante is looking awful so I wouldnt imagine this is the day vote considering Dante owned Kirby with it last round.

I think you're looking at Master Chief's line. Kirby didn't lose much percent until near the end of the poll, in other words he wasn't affected by MC's ASV. I heard kids still went to school on Veteran's Day
