all i know is that if Leon hasn't broken 62% by 2:00 AM, Bowser's day vote will probably boost him over the doubling. that Nintendo day-vote has been no joke this contest.


I expect the day vote will look very similar to Kirby/PoP, actually. Bowser has never been that impressive with the day vote, after all.

89.87% took 2-seeded Crono over 7-seeded Zidane last year after Crono has had three successful years before that. Now, 83.11% took 1-seeded Crono over 8-seeded Captain Falcon this year after Crono has had four successful years?

Heh...whatever works, less brackets for me to worry about.

Bowser has a big board vote. Leon will rebound shortly and this will likely end up close to expecations.

Speaking from experience, people that don't visit Board 8 are generally ignorant of previous contests.

Otherwise I wouldn't have had Leon losing to Gordon last year <_<
