Out of curiosity, is this even remotely feasible?

Rikku takes second this round. Mega Man SFF's Yoshi enough that Rikku takes second being the lone Square character, then in round 3, Samus, Mega Man and Midna all SFF each other enough for Rikku to grab second again .

hey RPGuy, can your script do percentage per update by chance?

I'm not sure how I'm going to actually present the data...I'm used to working with spreadsheets, not HTML. Maybe I'll write a script that generates HTML that emulates cn's updater, but he said he'd update his Monday or Tuesday so I don't know how much use that would be.

That's almost insane enough to work.

If Rikku managed the win here today, I'd say it's definitely possible, except I don't think Midna is going that far... if Midna does however, then yeah, I'd be willing to say it's possible, and it'd be awesome to see it happen.

Midna has to make it that far, just to steal all of the Zelda fans votes, pushing Rikku to round 4 and making her one of the many Cinderella's of the contest.

Speaking of which, I'm really regretting not keeping Yuna for second at the end of round 5.

...

People think that fanbase splitting is going to be a problem for Mega Man and Samus when Rikku is almost beating Knuckles despite Vaan being in the poll? Really, now. This match is an argument *against* fanbase splitting in that sense, though I suppose you could ascribe Vaan's poor performance to traditional SFF if you wanted to.

Hi. Hello. Howdy.
GyratingGrandma | Posted 9/2/2007 9:56:21 PM | message detail
The idea is Midna would be there as well to split the fanbase with them too... we're not saying it's likely, only that it's possible. And really, when we've never seen anything like this before (other than the BR obviously), almost anything is possible.

Knux was supposed to destroy Rikku, especially since there is another FF character to sap strength from Rikku. It doesn't matter if Knuckles beats Rikku. He's already embarrassed himself by allowing Rikku to be so close

Do you have no idea how strong Rikku and FFX are?

And besides, the day vote will kill Rikku. RIKKU is embarrassing herself by not taking the lead when Knuckles is at his weakest.

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? WHEN HAS RIKKU EVER PROVED TO BE AS GOOD AS KNUCKLES. PLUS THERE'S ANOTHER FF CHARACTER IN THIS POLL! Sorry, but what? Rikku is not embarrassing herself here no matter how you spin it

Just got my first look at how the match is going. Wow. Vaan is sucking more than expected by most. Rikku, on the other hand, is doing extremely well. I can't say I'm disappointed in Knux - it's more like I'm impressed by Rikku.
