And great to see we have a barn-burner in the first match, which none of us expected to be this close. This should be an exciting year. And I'm not too worried about MM > Knux, simply because there will be no Square characters in the next round, so the Square fanboys will have to pick someone else. Of the 4 in that round, I can see them shifting to Mega Man or Knuckles more than Yoshi.

And I hope that Yoshi stays right where he is while Vaan and Knuckles syphon off some of Rikku's votes.

Go Go Oracle pick!

How long before someone brings up today's Smash update as a reason to take Pit to advance to round 2?

If that was true, then Yoshi and Knuckles would be going 50-50 with Vaan and Rikku tied at 0%

No. You may not believe this, but most Square fanboys find Rikku to be likable (even if they haven't played FF X/X-2), and the fanboys who like FF XII (or heard that FF XII is good) will find Vaan to be likable to a certain extent. Plus more often than not, these people will also avoid voting Nintendo or cute characters.

And remember, this is just my assumption... >_>

Right now we are on pace for 168k.

Is this just for today's match or will see every match around the 150k mark?

I had Pit to advance because of:
-his apperance in Brawl
-the fact that he's facing two cupcakes
-his picture (given it's from Brawl, which I think it should) will garner SOME votes.

Too bad. Nintendo fanboys >> Square fanboys... at least in GameFAQs and especially after Wii and DS success.

I guess most of the matches will be popular. This one will get a lot since it's so close between Knux and Rikku, while Duke/Gordon/Ike/Guybrush won't get many votes.

This match is by no means over. Rikku still has a big lead considering that there are four characters in the match, and Rikku's come back was also a very fast one. But yeah, considering that it's Rikku who is falling and not Knuckles doing great, I consider Knuckles to be the favourite. Not that I ever doubted on my guy, ahem ahem >_<

*watches Rikku gain 100 votes in the next update*
