Whoa Portal is dominating.

Nominate Crono so he can get a higher seed and avoid being fed to Clinkeroth early in the contest.

And Persona 4 wins by 251, haha wow.

Persona 4 won by 251. That's not funny.

Portal won't end up above 60% when it's over but a solid thrashing nonetheless

So glad I changed to Portal in the Battle Challenge. Losing everything in a blowout would have been so frustrating.

Portal pulling 61% now that these early votes are out of the way. this'll end in the 50s at the highest.

Umm, Portal's going back up. This is ridiculous. It might stay at 65% at the freeze.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

Portal is going to rock the Power Hour and then fall hard. The early vote loathes everything Final Fantasy these days for some reason (except for Zack of course). And loves Portal.

Kefka is also known for having a good board vote too.

Somebody send a feedback-ticket, mine's still pending. Still though, I can't complain too much if we finally get a match without a pic. It probably favors FF12, and, well, we see what that means right now.

The funny thing is that lack of picture probably helps FFXII.

Roman Numeral noobs might not remember which one that is without a pic.

Nice job by the -6s and -8s(Luster). They both did around 80%. This is the match that kills the last -5 bracket. We nearly lose all of the -7s as well. At -9, prediction percentage starts to get close to 50% and at -15 even manages to break 60 before starting to fade away.

14 people fell off the Top 50. transience, SubDeity, OceloTRaveN, HeroicLuca, Pizzaknight, bospsychopaat, KommunistKoala, EnochCamas, Ludwig_Von_2, IloveYoda, Demon_HunterX, Xeybozn, TrueMrBojangles and YoboD did not have Persona 4 winning.

3 people got it wrong and survived. Former first place gitanil, former third place MerchantTorneko and transience_002 also did not have Persona 4 winning.

Earlier in the match, Persona had a lead of 261 votes in 4 out of 6 consecutive updates, no matter what Dead Rising cut, Persona 4 would bring it back to 261 the next update, or stall it completely.

With Portal beating Mass Effect next round, it looks like I'll have a perfect Southwest Division. Cool

"if only there were some way I could have sex" - Smartmuffin

Holy shoot. I just realized that I'm going to be 13th on the leaderboard after this match.

It was just a joke from P4 hanging on to a 261 vote lead for like a half hour earlier in the day.

In any case, FF12 is likely going to cut into Portal's percent hard over the course of the night (Portal tapers off after the board vote, while FF12 has a weak board vote, but is strongest during the dead hours and into the morning), but the difference in strength is wide enough that Portal should never be in danger of losing the match.

On the battle leaderboard, I meant.

I doubt the match would be repeated just because of a missing pic. Pretty sure that would only be done if something was actually preventing votes from being registered or the wrong games were listed in the poll.

No, we need to begin the "we still continue RE4 > FFX train even when it's having a semi-close win against Portal" talk.

I don't think RE4 vs. Portal will be that close.

The only interesting thing there is that RE4 will actually likely be out-Power Hour'ed for once.

GotD Bracket: 94/104 Today's Matches: RE4 & TWEWY

Okay, Portal's winning this if the first update wasn't a good enough sign of things to come...but Portal's still going to drop a lot. I don't think Portal > RE4's very warranted right now, but I'd take Portal to be Valve's new #1 game here over HL2 with a showing like this. I'll take FF12 > GTA3, and that got 44% on HL2 recently. Portal dropped 7% from its five-minute point in R1, but it'd have to drop more than that after the fifteen-minute mark before FF12 matches GTA3's percentage. FF's better at night, but that's still a tall order.

Nice job by the -6s and -8s(Luster). They both did around 80%. This is the match that kills the last -5 bracket. We nearly lose all of the -7s as well. At -9, prediction percentage starts to get close to 50% and at -15 even manages to break 60 before starting to fade away.

Heh, as a result of this match, the Lusterboard is back in action again near the bottom of the leaderboard. Too bad I picked FFXII today, so many of my accounts will fall off again.

Hmm, assuming I'm calculating correctly, once Portal wins, I'll get past the Battle Challenge Lusterboard remnants. After the 211 at 74,100, there's just 2 ahead of me, and then 1 person tied with me.

Well, I'll be happy even just having made the leaderboard at some point during the contest, regardless of what happens after that.
