Is it just me, or did a huge number of people who had zero points get Samus/Yuri right?

Frog's percentage should drop, but Riku is going to still turn out to be the high-end fodder he should be.

Riku just broke 35%. At this rate frog might not even have 60% by the end of this.

To early to tell though.

Kudos to Samus for edging out Mario there.

And damn, I can't believe we're down to 78 zero brackets already. Hot damn.

When you get upset, remember it takes 42 muscles to frown, but only 4 to extend your middle finger.

Seems like most people aren't going for 0's, but are going for favorites and have been unliucky this far (we had a perfect favorites bracket until Bowser/Ocelot)

Riku is defiantly getting Frog under 60% with the day vote.

Score-Brackets-% Right
4------7497-----98.4660531
3------13204----97.7809755
2------9274-----96.7974984
1------3561-----91.2664982
0------257------69.6498054

What in the world happened to the 0's? Only ~30% of them got it "right". If those were favorites brackets, it must suck for your favorite to lose four times in a row. Nobody fell from the Top 50 today, thankfully.

I noticed that too, Lucid. To be fair about it though, one would think Joanna is a bigger name than Yuri...regardless, that's all the better for Samus.

This is why i love Canada, I can't win, so might as well make as many stupid upsets as possible to see if they come true.

...Really, there's nothing impressive about Samus having a very, very slight edge in who was chosen to win the first match. I really hope people aren't thinking anything of that.

Frog is pretty stable around 62.5%, and I fully expect him to be at ~57% by the end of the day.

And even when he does, I still think that people are massively underestimating the CT characters in this contest.

I'll let you all know that I'll laugh if today's match hits 100,000+. Only because then maybe people will calm down about Nintendo gaining so much strength.

I've seem to have Riku underrated. If Riku breaks 43.5% on Frog then we know something is wrong with either Snake vs. Frog or the whole 20XX division.

Well, you have two characters who are far closer together in popularity than a match like Samus/Yuri or Mario/Joanna so it having higher vote totals wouldn't be that surprising.

Well, we all know how much of an anomaly Frog is in these contests. Wouldn't be surprised if he'd end up close to Riku, and then give Samus the same treatment he gave Snake...

Especially when it's more appropriate to say Frog is dropping like lead.

Help Yuri break 15% on Samus this contest!
Maybe? Please?

Frog's heading back up again. He's at 63.36% on my last check.

I don't see why it's so hard to believe Sora and Riku would be close in strength anyway.

I'd really love it if Frog got up to at least 65% by the end of the night, so that the drop in the day might not drop him out of 60%...

Meh. At this point, my position on that is "I'll believe it when I see it". Especially after the villains contest.
---
I can't think of anything to put here, but I can't just leave it blank, can I?

Yes, Frog is dropping like a rock. We'll ignore the fact that his percentage is climbing.

If (big if) this keeps up, I think that it'll be due to Frog owning the board vote, then Riku owning the bracket vote, then Frog owning the rest of the vote.

Drop it like it's hot drop drop drop it like it's hot.
Drop it like it's hot drop drop drop it like it's hot.

Don't think because Frog just so happened to face three people close to his strength means he can make close matches out of anything. Let Diablo face Vercetti, then Knuckles, then Yoshi...just because he had several close matches doesn't mean that's his gimmick/power/whatever.

Sora/Riku share a very similar relationship with Tidus/Auron and Kratos/Lloyd. Don't see why it's so far fetched.

Frog with 61.13. Book it

Kingdom Hearts does rather well with the day vote, as evidenced by its comeback on Soul Calibur, and Ansem's performance against CATS. Chrono Trigger sucks at the day vote. Frog will have a helluva time keeping this above 60%.

Yeah...something tells me that the hardcore board vote is skewing this poll so far. Frog's gonna drop a good deal from this by the time it's over.

just broke 38%, and is still going up.

Just out of curiosity what's an unadjusted static frog suppsoed to get on a static Sora?
