Yeah... I wonder why no one has said yet that this match reminds them of Claire/Kairi, I MEAN IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME.

Even if she had, it still would have been wiped out.

Now, I don't know if Peach will do the same thing that Kairi did, but I'm not ruling it out.

Except that when your lead is bigger on your opponent prior to the swing, it means your that much stronger than them, and it makes it harder for them to swing as many votes, simply because their popularity is a lot closer.

You can call this a "transition to the afterschool vote", but I think this is the afterschool vote. Go from stalling to beating some face in, or go from getting your face beat in to stalling... it's still a decent little swing.

Not enough for Peach to win, of course, assuming this is all she's got.

If you take number of votes swung literally, than Master Hand is the absolute master. 6000 votes baby! In a 73000 vote match no less

This logic doesn't work at ALL. Simply because MC gains 2000 votes during the day against DK, doesn't mean he's going to gain 2000 againt Link during the day. Because Link is THAT much stronger than DK. MC can still "win" the day vote, but that doesn't mean he'll still be able to get as many votes as last time.

I'm supporting Peach, but come on.

And whoever mentioned the match being redone (even though it's highly unlikely), I wouldn't mind such a thing seeing as how we do need at least a one day delay to occur at some point in this contest!

It's not exactly that simple. If Claire was strong enough to lead that much before the after-school vote, she would have fought back during it more. Kairi would have won still, but it would have been a more MC-like swing; something like 3000 I think.

I want to see Link absolutely kill whoever is in that final match. There's no better way to do that than on the release day of your biggest game ever!
