I don't see why this afterschool vote is even a surprise. it was expected.. Expected, yes, but...not to this extent. The gains that Axel is making are almost as impressive as the ones Sonic was making on Crono. Prolly more so, since it's 4-way and Samus is there. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=34492787 Sign plz "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU *****!" - Molly Weasley, Deathly Hallows |

If Axel keeps this up, he'll have come back and built a good lead by the time the night vote comes around. Yeesh. --- Can anyone give me the dimensions of their Wii box?- Mershiness adamjaxe- Stop measuring your presents.... |

KH is probably even better with the day vote than Sonic, though, and
back in 2005 Frog's day vote was already horrible, while Crono's was
actually decent. Crono's day vote got much worse last year, so Frog's
probably got even worse than it already was. --- Character Battle VI -- Points: 8/8 -- T-1 (1616 way) Bracket: Samus > Frog -- Vote: Frog |

Man, Frog sure doesn't like to do this the easy way, does he? He's
completely incapable of holding anyone back. He's like Donkey Kong,
only you know he's going to find a way to pull this out, no matter what
Axel does. He chokes away big leads, yet he still wins. --- Vote for Serge. |

Yeah. Frog's the opposite of DK in that while he always finds a way to
screw up the match, the result is always him hanging on by a thread --- This story is not an end yet. Because only you are in the infinity loop. |

A conveniently placed stall by Frog there. And for this to be Kairi/Claire II, Axel would have to whip Frog in the end. That ain't gonna happen. --- Vote for Serge. |

after skimming through the last few pages about this match, i am really
baffled that anyone would be all that shocked by the way this match is
going. Frog and Axel are both following their previous school-day
voting patterns exactly (well, Axel is follwing the Kingdom Hearts
voting pattern). i am fairly certain that Axel will continue to blast
away at Frog's lead until about 7 or 8 EST and come within a few
hundred votes (i'm guessing around 300-500). following that, Frog will
start to stall Axel for a while and then slowly build his lead back up
over the last hour or two. no surprises. --- I support the following SC2K6 characters: L-Block, Phoenix Wright, Magus, Agent J, Vincent Valentine, Miles Edgeworth, HK-47, Zero, Kefka |

But once again, the small cut is more than compensated for by the massive cuts he made in the three previous updates. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=34492787 Sign plz "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU *****!" - Molly Weasley, Deathly Hallows |

It's not surprising that Axel is making cuts on Frog. What's surprising is how big those cuts are with four people in the poll. --- Vote for Serge. |

Like I said, I wouldn't expect 400 votes to happen. But Axel just took
off 300 in an hour, and would need to go even faster if he's going to
build up a huge lead and still have a 400 vote lead by 10:30. Also at
the end, there will be rallying, and Samus/Kerrigan won't be getting
nearly as many votes (even Link/Cloud lost votes in the heat of
Snake/Sephiroth). --- FFXII NLB - finished - 39 marks FFXII LLIENANMiNDM - Bhujerba (post-Ba'Gamnan) |

yeah, I'm not surprised by this at all. I was surprised when it DIDN'T happen. this is Frog. and Kingdom Hearts. come on, what did you expect? I said a 2000 vote lead was needed to make me feel confident, and I'm sticking by that. Frog didn't get there. I still like his chances, but I certainly wouldn't say it's a lock. --- http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/258/cloudvsjillvsocloectvsmfw4.jpg now playing: PW3, Jeanne d'Arc |

You realize that Axel will need 51 30-gain updates to even be even with
Frog right? Thats over 4 straight hours of 30 vote gains. But even if
that happens, by the time it does Frog is going to start to rally back.
If Frog never broke 1200 votes or so on Axel, then this comeback might
have had a chance. --- Eff Dee |

We're pretty much down to Board 8 and a few lucky outsiders as perfects, so Frog will kill a lot less of the perfects. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. This line reserved for next Guru winner. Unless it's me, therefore reserving plenty of noms for Dixie/DKC2. |

I think Frog or Axel winning will still kill a good amount of perfects. I mean, almost half the analysis crew had Axel taking 2nd. --- Kleenex - Now with an invigorating blast of citrus cherry flavor. |

I refuse to believe we have only "serious" brackets on the third day.
it's not that hard to pick the first two days correct if you knew how
the rules worked. I think we'll be under 1200 if Frog wins, and under.. 500?, if Axel wins. who knows. I've yet to see a "good" prediction percentage. --- http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/258/cloudvsjillvsocloectvsmfw4.jpg now playing: PW3, Jeanne d'Arc |

It really is. At a rate of 30 votes per update, Axel ties it in four hours. But since there is always the occasional stall and such, the time will bleed into the late evening vote and give Frog a chance to recover.

Axel has made up roughly 300 votes in the past hour. If this keeps up,
he'll have the lead in about 5 hours, which should set up for an

If this keeps up, he'll have the lead in about 5 hours, which should set up for an interesting final 2 1/2 hours to the match. Axel can build a lead with the remaining hour, then (judging by Jill) he'll have the night vote to contend with.
