Pokemon seemed to be statablising around 79% around the frezeze. I won't decalre a victor yet, but I'll be really surprised if star ocean pulls ahead.

this is clearly going to go down... but I don't think it's going to be close.

For what it's worth, I don't think anything has ever started off with under 35% of the board vote after the first five minutes and came back to win the match. Do correct me if I'm wrong.

Why is Nintendo owning the board vote such a surprise? This place has more concentrated Nintendo fanboyism than any of the company system boards.

oO
Not even 80% of the perfects had MMX winning the match. I know Mega Man isn't known for bracket support, but it's Suikoden. Top 50 update will come whenever it finally gets updated.

HM's arguments were enough to make me think SO would avoid a doubling... but it might not even do that now, although it will probably get closer. Ouch.

I don't understand why. I thought it would favor Pokemon, and it did, just not to this goddamn extent.

This is a much more diluted "board vote" though. Due to the early poll time, it's much closer to the actual result than it used to be.

That little pre-poll favored Pokemon with about 75%.
