Luster, its kinda late to play that card. We saw within a minute that
the "Gurus" were wrong about lucario. This match, right now favors PO,
the Guru favorite. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img2.gelbooru.com/images/99/83fb11b029a5ceb7fa222a6090a0af53408dafb3.jpg |

Hey Albion, can you explain this video to me? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcVLFyhdjxE Specifically the buildup to 2:40 and whatever in the world happened there. --- .,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,. Now Playing: Etrian Odyssey 2, Devil May Cry |

lol onyxia is srs business to these people at 2:40 it sounds like someone ran into the eggs for the onyxia dragon boss which hatches them into dragon whelps and essentially starts killing the healers and wipes the entire group. mainly happens when people are feared (forced to run without control of their character). --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://img2.gelbooru.com/images/99/83fb11b029a5ceb7fa222a6090a0af53408dafb3.jpg |

IIRC against that boss if you get near the eggs, they hatch and pretty
much wipe your team. I believe the boss also casts something that
causes you to run around randomly or something like that which can
cause you to run near the eggs if you aren't in the correct position.
The guy likely screwed up and got his team killed and the other guy got
really pissed off. --- Shall I take you with me? To the place in this town where wishes come true... |

Almost 40 vote gain for punch out there DK collapsed on that update. 12.00% update for DK, his worst so far. DK is back to normal again on this update. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ! |

DK seems to be cutting back! 3 updates in a row so far although it's only shaved off 25 votes. --- http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u205/MapleMasta/IkeClimbers2.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDaGWrPcjb8 |

yeah, here are the aforementioned Mega Man trends. DK is looking good
here - I'll be surprised if he doesn't have the better day vote, but
it's the game and not the character so it's hard to tell. --- yzzyx |

DK has 4 cuts in a row now. I looked on GameFAQs and saw that Punch-Out
was released in Europe. If it wasn't, it would flop big time once the
European voting base starts dominating. Even though it was released in
Europe, it may be possible that Europe favors DK more than Punch-Out. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ! |

This is pretty much how I'm expecting the match to go down. PO takes
2nd for a few hours, and DK grabs 2nd for the rest of the match. So
far, it looks to be going down like. --- The Gamer In Me |

DK will build a lead up before the DV, but it won't be anything PO!!
can't get back. I just can't see PO!! losing to DK during the day since
P-O!! is the better game. Seriously, who liked DK better than PO!!? --- [ FINAL FOUR ] FFVII / LoZ: A Link to the Past / LoZ: Ocarina of Time / FFX |

| PO is really struggling now. Pretty much every other game in the poll is making percentage gains while PO's percentage is dropping like a rock. But will it recover in the day? For the sake of my bracket hopefully not... |

And from the looks of things, it's Space Invaders that's eating up all
that Punch Out percentage. Only think being done by DK right now is
just staying steady. Yeah, this one's probably over. --- http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u205/MapleMasta/IkeClimbers2.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDaGWrPcjb8 |

Jeez, Space Invaders is doing great at the night vote. For the first 3
hours, it was pulling sub-10% updates. Now it's pulling in 11-14%
updates. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ! |

24.92% update for DK, which more than doubles what Punch-Out got on that update. I'm calling game over for Punch-Out, especially after that 42 vote gain. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ! |

Looks like I was off by half an hour- it took DK until 6:30 to retake
the lead. Well, this is still nothing to be too worried about for
Punch-Out: DK always does very well with the morning (remember how he
still stomped Duck Hunt with it). It's never stopped him from doing
badly with the rest of the day vote before. That said with that last
hour DK definitely looks to be in better shape than before. Prediction: DK gets out to a lead of 800-1000 and peaks sometime during the DSV. Punch Out retakes the lead at......eh, 11:30. It would be awesome if we do indeed get a close match on the first day. --- Best Game Ever Contest II: Score: 0/0 Bracket: Tetris > Punch-Out --- Vote: Punch-Out |

Oh yeah, and as far as the American vote is concerned, these next 2
hours are critical for Punch-Out. Both CT characters and Megaman
characters improve sharply from 6-7, where they are as bad as in the
dead zone, to 8-9, where they manage to do decently. If PO wants to
show that it really does do much better with the American than the
European vote, it should do the same here. --- Best Game Ever Contest II: Score: 0/0 Bracket: Tetris > Punch-Out --- Vote: Punch-Out |

Punch-Out hasn't won a single update in almost 2 1/2 hours now. 300 vote barrier broken. DK is getting close to outdoing Punch-Out's 336 vote lead. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ! |

Seems like DK too over during the dead zone. Tetris is still destroying everything. Also we're about 10k votes behind last year's final. Our vote total will be about 120k. We'll probably see higher vote totals once we reach a more popular division. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls BGE2 - Today's Match: Tetris > Punch-Out!!
