For what it's worth, Robotnik is doing better than Kuja did in the opening minutes. As I've said, unless the Doc runs away with it during the night, Master Hand will be fine trailing early.

Thing is...Robotnik started off great against Sin last round, while Master Hand started off slow against Kuja. We can't call the winner yet.

None of the group got this perfect. Not even the perfects. One of the perfects had Ansem beating Ganondorf. One of the perfects had Ansem beating Ganondorf. One of... *sigh* moving on...

Robotnik is dominating right now....but with the way Robotnik/Sin and Master Hand/Kuja went, you could almost say that Master Hand has Robotnik right where he wants him :)

Really though, this it he kind of performance Robotnik need early on, and he's getting it.

L I T T L E M O N E Y

I'm starting to wonder if Master Hand will have as good a day vote against Dr. Robotnik as he did against Kuja. On one hand, you've got Robotnik, a legendary villain from a series that's strongest during the day. Then you've got Kuja, a thong-wearing villain from a game that never actually happened.

I still think Master Hand will win, but Robotnik could very well put up a hell of a fight.

And yet he lost the day vote to Sin, a Square character. Master Hand destroyed another Square character with that same day vote.

If Robotnik does relatively well during the day, I'll start to believe that hundreds upon hundreds of people were just joke voting Sin.

n one hand, you've got Robotnik, a legendary villain from a series that's strongest during the day

Robotnik has already shown to be a board favorite though, and weak during the day.

He "last stand" against Sin was about 20/25 minutes in...after that it was pretty much downhill.

Master Hand should be superior to Sin during the day.

However, Robotnik is doing extremely well right now.

Either that, or many people just joke voted Master Hand because it'd be funny to see him win a match. Now it's done, and they're all like "meh."

What about Lavos? Were thousands of people joke voting Lavos against Liquid Snake?

Oh, and Robotnik's percentage is so large now I'd be shocked beyond belief if Master Hand came back.

"Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?"

200 vote lead now means 1000 at 1:00. That's huge.

And for what it's worth, it took Kuja HOURS to build a lead this size against Master Hand, and by this point, Robotnik was already under 60% against Sin.

I'd buy that too. People are fickle when it comes to these things; I've anti-voted my most beloved character ever because he was up against CATS. >_>

Well, I think Kuja's problem is that, even though he's from Final Fantasy, he's not exactly what I like to call "casual bait," while that's almost all Master Hand is. Robotnik appeals to the casual voter whereas Kuja likely doesn't.

He already well surpassed Kuja's highest lead, which came at 3:35 AM contest time.

And for what it's worth, it took Kuja HOURS to build a lead this size against Master Hand, and by this point, Robotnik was already under 60% against Sin.

Robotnik actually had 59.99% against Kuja 25 minutes in.

But right now, it would probably be a big surprise for Robotnik to lose this match.

Sin>Kuja is certainly looking good at the moment. If Robotnik does win, I feel bad for the people who had Sin winning this four-pack--looks like they might have gotten screwed by one of the worst contest pics ever.

Even if Master Hand takes the day vote, if Robotnik continues this even until just 3:30 AM PST, he'll already have over a 2000 vote lead.

So if Robotnik is just strong enough to stall him, he can still win pretty easily.
