If Yoshi breaks 46, I feel confident in MM>Snake, and that's all, if Yoshi breaks 49, I think MM>Snake is assured and MM>Sonic/Crono is possible, if Yoshi wins in a close one, I feel confident in MM>Sonic/Crono, if Yoshi wins with 52.5+ I feel that MM>Males is very possible.

Tough to say. Yoshi definitely picks up the day vote here, but no idea how far he could let Dante lead before it would be a little futile.

I don't think you realize that Dante is not actually that good with the day vote. Yoshi is good with, he just happened to face Riku from KH2. I would be shocked if Yoshi didn't take it.

we freeze with a 108 vote lead, which Yoshi finally started padding near the end of the update..

Well, it'll be twenty minutes before the real night vote trends even kick in. At least.

I'd say closer to an hour before we start seeing consistant night vote updates that will probably hold up until the morning.

The board has a slight split for Dante bracket-wise, but they LOVE Yoshi compared to him. I'm not sure who the board vote would favor (relatively at least, Yoshi's kicking ass so far).

A nice start for yoshi. If he can hold back dante enough during the night, we'll have quite a match on our hands, but i'm not holding my breath.

Now watch as yoshi stabalizes at this percentage and gains more during the day just to make me look bad. >_>
