judging from the start of Yoshi vs. Dante, i think that Yoshi was the bracket favorite. i say Yoshi has 40.12% of the brackets!!

and i also say that outside of the first minute, Gordon won't break 40% for the rest of the match and will finish below 30%.

to compare, Gordon had 43.5% on Leon Kennedy at this point.

this is really impressive to me. looks like Sora will get a doubling. so far, KH stuff has easily been the star of the contest. it makes me think Mega Man will do really well vs. Ryu tomorrow.

Combined with Sora's day vote, a doubling looks imminent, unless kiddies decide to like nerds with crowbars.

Though the night vote should be good to Mr. Freeman, so maybe not.

Overall prediction percentage: 31.18%

A awesome performance by the -1s. At 73, they are head and shoulders above the rest. The -2s only manage to just barely break 50 and it falls quickly from there with the -5s failing to break 40. What in the world happened with the zero bracket attempts? Not one, but TWO 2 brackets score points on this match. A few 3s, 4s, 5s also score points. Even whhen making a zero bracket, you need to pay some attention to Round 2 and beyond.

21 people fell off the Top 50 today. Gnarkillv88, Heroic_Rufus, AmuroGabe, holymagician, NoMoreSausages, T_I_S, manugarciac, JiggaZed, sephyvii, Giggsalot, TheCyclo, Notenoughspace, BigBuddyValens, MystGuardian, Willninho, RomanticRobot, ChowDown, Captain_Gordon, _Phediuk_, Guffaw and AppleKidPlant, who was on the Top 50 despite the fact that Phoenix Wright had already lost, did not have Yoshi winning the match today.
