What a win this would be for Alucard. Not leading until 8:52am ET, then holding off Falcon and actually increasing his lead with the morning vote.

Falcon can still do this even if it's just 5-7 vote cuts the rest of the way which is likely given how good (BS) Nintendo can be at last minute rallies.
#306 | ZeldaTPLink | Posted 7/23/2013 7:52:38 AM | message detail
9 vote cut by Falcon.

Yup, not over.

I won't call this match until it's 20 minutes left and if the lead is over 100. Captain Falcon just needs to cut like 5 votes each update to win right now.

Alucard has won each of the last 8 hours of the poll, would be a travesty if a Nintendo rally suddenly denied him in the final one.

Damn I left this place for 1.5 hours and I thought the winner would have been obvious by now.

Seeing the trend, it still doesn't seem 100% certain that Alucard has this.

That match has hype because Juliet Starling was probably Bayonetta's best parallel coming into this contest, and she absolutely bombed.

No one thinks N will be strong at all. It's a matter of just how weak Bayonetta will end up being.


Bingo. People saw my postings about how much N was going to win by and mistook them for me thinking N would be strong. I don't think he's actually going to be very strong--just far stronger than his opponents.

There is no chance Poison is inserted into this match and is allowed to finish the match in Alucard's place, inheriting all his existing votes.

I've been rooting for Alucard this whole match (well Rydia actually), but I kind of just want to see Falcon take the lead on the very last update.

I remember that happening once but I can't remember what the match was.

Then maybe I don't want that to happen to Alucard twice.

As things stand right now:

A 73-vote win would rank 13th in "Closest Matches Ever".
Falcon's max lead of 507 over Alucard would make the match rank third in "Closest wire-to-wire matches ever (non 1v1)".
Furthermore, Alucard's max lead of 2179 over Rydia would rank 48th on that same list.
