The night vote won't be kind for Mega Man X. It's just not the UK, but every major European nation with the exception of Spain is going hard for Tifa. This could be the largest comeback of the contest if it is successful. I think it will come down to whether or not Tifa can win the morning/day vote when North America wakes up again.


It's not just Europe, but Australia and New Zealand are voting hard for Tifa too. They usually have similar preferences to the UK.

And although Asia doesn't vote in large enough numbers at any point in the match to overpower the European voting block, Asia going hard for Tifa is only going to help make Tifa's night vote even stronger.

it was cute I agree

You know a character in the lead is f***ed when winning updates is called cutting
If all else fails use fire.
From this point on, Tifa gained a bit on Mewtwo while X fell against Ocelot. Definitely favoring her now.
Think the lead changing at 5 AM is a good call.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
The only good thing about the morning vote kicking in is that votes from Asia and Oceania will start dropping off, which is one thing helping to give Tifa this superpowered night vote.

MMX is going to make some random cuts and stalls. Almost always happens. Blame Peru or something.

I'm not complaining if it happens earlier, though.

she's gonna do it isn't she
This has got to be one of the biggest vote swings possible in this format, right? FF7 night vote vs Mega Man night vote. Maybe you can put Sephiroth here instead of Tifa.

I don't know if to cry MMX might lose or to be happy it will make Mewtwo look better

j/k Mewtwo will look like trash either way, so I guess cry it is

Honestly no, it's just funny how often it happens

Not that Tifa didnt make up for lost ground anyway. 74% update.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
Yeah I got trolled by Geralt when Bayo kept stalling his cuts, I repeatedly thought he was losing his momentum for good

Tifa's been a bit more consistent but now I'm not worried about MMX winning some updates here and there

Also 34-vote cut, all the stall sessions seem to end in Tifa making up for lost time.
If all else fails use fire.
Go mah Tifa go.
Now how big a lead does she need to reach for it to be defendable when America wakes up? 300?
Started from the bottom now we here
Based on the trends of their last matches, she may just gain all day. X's biggest hope lies in his pedigree and in the willingness of people to rally or cheat for him. It seems like no one will do that for Final Fantasy these days (Vivi maybe?).

8 people score half points but are still hanging on. haloiscoolisbak, GoldSlime35, davidponte, VeryInsane, PSI_NESS, Camden, TeamRocketElite and Advokaiser manage to stay on the Top 50.

Congrats to the 5 people who managed to score full points. New first place Steevo_234, new third place hylianknight3, TheBiggerWiggle, pronouncemyname and Safer_777 got all 16 points yesterday.


I've been quietly enjoying these contests since 2007, and only got on the leaderboard for the first time ever last week. Woke up this morning (UK) to find myself top and nearly fell off my chair!

Need Tifa to win today for 4/4!
Lopen 11/15/2018 1:25:32 AM#336
Random fluctuation is most of it. When you get weak updates followed by a strong one that's not too weird cause the pace downward is maintained well enough

When it hangs around 0 forever though. Yeah probably cheating. Doesn't always happen and that might be one of those "cheating 2:1 ratio blah blah" situations but like, actually really the cheating offsetting and not a nonsense excuse, so I ignore it.
No problem!

Now Tifa get a 500 votes lead please
...
That's half the battle. Now she needs to build up a lead. The strongest part of the night vote ends in about 3 hours.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
Janus5k 11/15/2018 1:58:03 AM#341
Well, she swung over 300 votes in the last three hours. Think I like her odds.

X did a little better that hour. He still lost it by 63 votes but that was the least he's lost an hour by in the last five hours. I didn't calculate percentages though so that may just be the votals falling off.
C'mon, X, just hang in there until the Americas wake back up.
