But think about the opponents he faced. Diablo (Who also got link'd) and a Squaresoft character. No wonder why he did bad in the night vote.

That's what I said about 12 hours ago. Sonic is bad with the night, and
he isn't capable of makign enough out of the day to beat Mega.

I remember hearing Sonic would runaway with the day vote, and then
Megaman would runaway with the after-school. It'd be silly to
completely count Sonic out at this point.

The general consensus was that Sonic would benefit from the after school vote. Mega Man's time is supposed to be the night vote.

My guess, based on past PPs, is that MM winning is more painful to the brackets as a whole.

The brackets never have much faith in Sonic and theres no Sonic winners
on the leaderboard well there's 3 Mega Man. I say Sonic would break
more brackets.

I think MM's prediction percentage would be higher, but MM's division
was a lot easier. I would expect more people to go for MM at the top
and Sonic in the middle/bottom.

I finally voted for Mega Man, since I might not be around for the end
of this match. This is awesome though; regardless of who wins, I just
want this to go down to the wire and be a classic.

Past shows brackets that aren't really in contention have more faith in
Sonic than MM. Having 3 top 50 spots doesn't mean much about the other
30000 brackets. With an exeptionally easier bracket of course MM has
higher PP to make it to this match. Really, Sonic's name isn't on the
top 10 worst PP list while MM is.

I would think more would have Sonic than Mega Man, but Mega will be top

top 50.

Sonic will most likely retake the lead by the night vote kicks in, but
then MM will retake it once again and this time for all near the very
end of the match.

Same. I'm only cheering for Mega Man because of my bracket (spineless, I know). If it had no chance of appearing in the Top 50, I'd be hoping for a down to the wire classic.

It's already been said, but I'll say it again: the top brackets will
likely side with Mega Man, the middle brackets will likely side with
Sonic. Mega Man's usually under-estimated anyways; despite having
already beaten Snake and Vercetti as well as gettin' a one-seed, Mega
Man still only got about a third of the brackets to win his division
last year. I fully expect Sonic to have more brackets on his side here
than Mega Man.

I originally had Sonic over Mega Man, but I decided I was gonna side
with both the adjusted stats and my fanboyism, so I took the Blue
Bomber instead. I'm glad to see this is close though.

Generally speaking there, of course there will be gurus who picked Sonic to win for legitimate reasons, while there will also be n00bs who picked MM accidentally.

Sonic received 51.73% of the vote that hour (previous: 51.03%). He
averaged 53.75 votes/15 min (previous: 32.75). Should this continue, he
will take the lead around 17:30, about a half hour before the night
vote.
