Incidentally, LFF'd PIt and DDD almost managed 30% on Zero. HK's just weak. (And Revan will be weaker.)

I beg to differ. Either way, I know you're a big Terra fan, but the Terra of 2010 is going to be even weaker than the one that got killed by Dante. Dissidia isn't going to reverse five years of aging and at least one shift away from old Square.

The only major support Nathan has is Canada and Oceania, his percent has gone up in the US, but he won't come back from there.

He's got a shot at winning the electoral vote though. He's up to 156 electoral votes now. Just got to turn around California, Texas, and New York, or some other combination of states that gives him 114 electoral votes.

It's entirely possible that Darth Whoosiwhatsit would beat Terra just for the Darth, but I definitely think Revan's going to be pretty weak, and weaker than HK.

Nathan is definitely not going to win California while Texas and New York seem unlikely.

He's cut almost 1% in California since I started tracking it about 40 minutes ago. Keep that up, and he's got a chance.

I'm comparing the vote totals each hour between this match and Ammy/Shadow

Amaterasu vs. Shadow

1:00 | 10768
2:00 | 9465
3:00 | 8300
4:00 | 8021
5:00 | 7144
6:00 | 6748
7:00 | 6192


The Boss vs. Nathan Drake

1:00 | 8168
2:00 | 6967
3:00 | 6401
4:00 | 6811
5:00 | 6721
6:00 | 6590
7:00 | 6171

Vote totals went up during the first hour of the ASV, but as you can see there hasn't been an hour where this match outvoted Ammy/Shadow. On the plus end the drop each hour is less with this match. Looks like this match will get low to mid 70k.

Based on how Ammy/Shadow went yesterday, we should end up with around 71000 votes, which isn't too shabby.

But I'd imagine it would take longer for this match to get going because the U.S. had school today as opposed to not having it yesterday, for the most part. People are having to wait later to vote.

And with less than 5 hours to go, it appears Drake has lost some ground in the past 45 minutes in the electoral college. He's down to 117 votes now, with 2 small states at a 50-50 tie. Time to throw in the towel on this one.

I doubt a badass with the name "Darth" will be weaker than HK-47.

Darth+Lightsaber should be more than enough to be stronger than HK-47, I would think.

Yes because KotOR is a terrible game and only got votes because of the Star Wars name. I expect Darth Revan to win over Terra, but at the same time Darth Vader isn't in the same league as Superman and Batman.

Speaking of Star Wars.....

What's your favorite Star Wars movie?
The Phantom Menace 4.38% 2913
Attack of the Clones 3.5% 2332
Revenge of the Sith 26.99% 17960
A New Hope 9.25% 6153
The Empire Strikes Back 32.1% 21362
Return of the Jedi 23.78% 15823
TOTAL VOTES 66543


ESB wins and ROTJ does well, as expected, but I am saddened by how poorly ANH did.

Hanging with Halo and GTA really isn't that impressive. SFF'd Wind Waker was able to do it. Portal was able to do it. Tales of Symphonia was able to do it.

I mean, yeah, it was a good result, but not exactly earth shattering. If the Star Wars name was so powerful I'd expect it to do better.

A silent character with a presumably unrecognizable picture - Revan's got The Twist and "Darth" to separate her from, like, random Oblivion player character. That may well be enough to beat Terra - not a high bar there - but I don't think it amounts to much.

Admittedly it's been a long time since I played KotOR, but don't you design Revan yourself? I remember Revan's name being bandied about a lot, and yeah, definitely major character after The Twist, but I could swear he/she is designed by the player.
