which year?
---

I'll come clean here. I actually have no idea which Crono/Vincent match was always used for Crono/Vincent trends.
---

Damn, maybe Snake will still make this a match. He started cutting early enough that there might be enough time to get a modest lead before the day.

Snake wins easily.

I'm sure red sox can provide you with trends for each year.

2007. That's the one with the ultra extreme trends.
---

I will say, despite my projections favoring Zelda by a bit, my gut feeling is Snake wins this. It will be close and Snake should have better rally support.
---

And he's really taking off now. 67 votes cut in 30 minutes and we are over 49%.
---

Don't know that it'll be enough, but good to see Snake finally making a move.
---

Thats brutal from snake.

Europe will surely help him.

East coast is fast asleep and west coast are going to sleep soon. This is dead hours though. Europe wakes up in about an hour. Two for UK.

He needs a good 150-200 lead before the final 2 hours which imo I like to refer to the European dead zones. I.e most of Europe are in effective.

More like most of America and the Nintendo kids are going to bed.

Looks like Snake could win going by Ocelot-Dedede or Squall-Zelda trends, but not Zelda-Aerith or Zelda-Boss trends.
---

Seven cuts in a row.
---

If it wasn't for the second chance bracket Snake would be killing this. Think of how many extra bracket votes Zelda gained due to looking so strong in the contest and featuring heavily in people's second chance brackets
---

I mean I told you guys that Zelda doesn't win clutch matches
---

Well at least we could see Zelda tearing up the lower bracket if she loses this

Eight cuts. They're getting smaller, though...
---

Yeah, you could see the momentum on that one slowing down.

Next few updates could be crucial.

like shoot, even then, going from choking a lead against 'Zard to choking against Snake is nuts
---

Squall/Zelda: Snake wins with 50.14%
Zelda/Aeris: Zelda wins with 50.31%
Zelda/The Boss: Zelda wins with 50.69%
---

I feel like Sonic should reach over and tell Snake, "YOU'RE TOO SLOW!"
---

Zelda by the hour:

20:00 | 50.64%
21:00 | 51.10%
22:00 | 52.27%
23:00 | 50.30%
00:00 | 52.87%
01:00 | 51.00%
02:00 | 46.02%

Night vote has arrived at last.
---

So looking at Zelda/Aeris, Zelda's percentage didn't hit bottom until the end of the match, and in Zelda/Squall, her percentage only bottomed out about 2 hours before the end. Snake shouldn't need much of a lead to win this because so much of the day vote's power has already been used up with the early start time.

Looks like he took that to heart.
---

Lead under 200 with two big cuts.
---

The Smash Boost has been smashed, as it were!

I like the logic of Snake getting 2 big cuts, than Zelda starting making gains again

This happens a lot in this contest. Vote totals are small enough that a moderate change within a five minutes period feels like a massive shift, when in reality it's just going to equalize over the next few updates anyway, which leads to 'big' cuts followed by 'big' gains.

I prefer this narrative though.
---

This is quite the stallfest.
I'm not sure if Snake can do it if this keeps up.

Yeah I'm not very optimistic
---

Sizeable Zelda gain. Over 200 again.
---

This can't be happening! I can't lose!
---

My beautiful reward! Ahh

Right it's past the bedtimes of Nintendo's target age group.

I want Zelda to beat Mario just so Link will SFF her so badly we will have some amazing xstats

The hour is over and Snake only only won it by 3 votes. That's not good enough for the night vote

I'm not really sure that Link SFFs Zelda much harder than Mario...!

That was a 9-vote update for Zelda!

Where are these damn votes coming from

haloiscoolisbak posted...

Do we know if NY or Cali has a larger presence on this site?

Since California has literally over twice the population, I would be shocked if New York has a larger GameFAQs presence.

25 vote cut there. Come on Snake!
