I will only call this match for CV if it builds anything higher than a 3000 vote lead.

I'm not willing to call this match at all. Well, unless Halo takes a commanding lead. It's easy for Halo to make a comeback; not so much for CV.

Because Halo fans don't realize that their game actually does bad with the opening vote. They're not used to being awake right now.

And I won't call this match even at 3,000. MC swung how many votes on Frog? CT is as notable a night tiger and day bunny as Castlevania is.

Tatsumaki Senpuu | Posted 7/7/2006 9:14:39 PM | message detail
Castlevania needs to build quite a lead before day break if it wants to win. It isn't doing anything right now that makes me want to call the match in its favor, though it would kick ass if it just started going crazy and increasing its lead like mad.

Master Chief lost about 70 votes to Frog between midnight and 12:15 in their match.

As long as Halo hangs tight at about 45% through the night, I'm not losing any faith in it. Regardless of how far it's behind.

Up to 206 for CV.

Master Chief asked for a weapon, and Alucard gave him a Plasma Pistol.

Does anyone else see the irony in a Vampire series needing to get ahead beacuse it will be weak in the daylight?

No? Good, because it's not ironic, it's coincidental.

Indeed.

I'm glad to see Master Chief is still making these things dramatic, even with the changed poll times. I was afraid Halo was gonna just take the lead like it did with the first freeze and not let go of it.

He's a real giver, the Master Chief.

This'll remain exciting for exactly two more updates. After Castlevania continues increasing for a few more, no one will bother unless Halo starts coming back really early.

Kefka/Vercetti. It's more fun that way.

No, it's a waste of a stat topic. If you want to have 10 people post every update, you can make a separate topic(s) for it. I'd rather do some discussion, please.

RPGuy96 | Posted 7/7/2006 9:20:49 PM | message detail
Okay, I think I'll do this for a little while, at least.

Frog/MC 12:15 - MC down 58
Sora/Alucard 12:15 - Sora up 28
CV/Halo 12:15 - CV up 204

So both Alucard and MC were losing during this time frame, and CV is moving more than both. Obviously, there were more votes to move with for CV/Halo...but I'd guess a fair number were Halo bracket votes, so I think that balances out somewhat.

And it doesn't look like much is going to happen for a while -- Castlevania increased its lead by only 60. So ... what do we talk about now?

If we go Kefka/Vercetti, somebody please be generous enough to give a brief summary of the things said in the topic that doesn't involve "LOL CASTLVOWND THAT ONE" in the following topic. That'd be super-cool for people who have to work tomorrow, like me.
