Dante is the Guru/Casual favorite. Yoshi is the BOP favorite...but the
BOP didn't get as many signups this year, so I use the Guru in terms of
board representation. Dante has been more impressive and totally
trashed Hayabusa, Yoshi struggled with Riku. This is Yoshi's first real test, and while he still has a shot I've lost all faith in it. --- *kills self Commit it to memory. |

Oh, but yeah, not a 'huge' upset no matter who wins. This was one of
the most debated matches here. It'll be like Vincent > Ganondorf if
Yoshi wins. --- *kills self Commit it to memory. |

I always feared Vincent > Ganon a lot more than Yoshi > Dante,
not that, that means it automatically can't happen. It would just be an
actual upset in my eyes, Vincent had the right to be the favorite in
Ganon/Vincent. --- I'm so hardcore. |

Yoshi out to a 448 lead there! He's looking quite good. Peach's highest lead, for the record, was 458 at the 40 minute update. --- The Master Sword is the most sought-after blade in Hyrule. He who wields it carries with him the hope of the kingdom. |

Dante will go 50/50 within 15 minutes, and start cutting the lead sporadically at 1:20 TuRtLe ~~~ 43/48 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

From last topic: I say Dante cuts the lead within the next ten minutes. An awfully short amount of time to go from losing 50 votes per update to gaining votes... not that it can't happen, though. --- Oklahoma State Cowboys: 4-3 - Last: lost to Texas A&M 34-33 (OT) - Next: vs. Nebraska (10/28) |

this match is amazingly stable so far... not a single update that's more than a percent or so off. *reloads* Dante with his best one yet! still not enough, though... --- xyzzy |

Yoshi got 51.54% of the update that time, but extended his lead out to 478, which is higher than Peach ever had!! --- The Master Sword is the most sought-after blade in Hyrule. He who wields it carries with him the hope of the kingdom. |

So either Yoshi really was a hidden bastion of strength all this time,
or Hayabusa (and Zero and Vincent) were much weaker than we thought. After Squall/Vince/Dante impressed in round 1, I figured the DD = overrated argument would be buried.

If this were to amazingly turn out like another Peach/Jill, it would be
so amazing. Two characters that people actually, y'know, care about in a close one? Wow! I have a feeling Yoshi's not going to be in that much danger, though (he might lose the lead, however...). --- *kills self Commit it to memory. |
