GREAT jump by Knux. Safe to stop watching and go to a BBQ, methinks.

We're on pace for over 150,000 votes on the first day.

Yeah, people always vote, but guess how many of those have their own brackets. They just vote whoever because they can... >_>

From yesterday's poll, it looks like 70% of voters don't have a bracket... so around 40000 ~ 50000 IMO.

i didn't think Vaan would suck this much.i had him only like 3% below Rikku in the oracle.

lets see if he can at least get 10% by the end of the match

i think Auron / Bowser / Shadow/ Ryu in round 2 has potential to be close between all four.

He is a beast in terms of updates.

Fun fact: Yoshi has about 6% more percents in this match that what he got against Mega Man. And if we can agree that the Blue Bomber can still SFF Yoshi a litte, then the match in round 2 should be interesting.

And I still say that notion is ridiculous. Yoshi has no bearing on the voting trends between Rikku and Knuckles. Yoshi's day vote might take away from Knuckles in direct relation to Yoshi vs. Knuckles, but it has nothing to do with Knuckles vs. Rikku. This says nothing about there not being anything funny as far as shared fanbase between Yoshi and Knuckles goes. Again, we're talking about the difference in voting trends between Knuckles and Rikku. It would be the same if Sonic himself were in the poll. It might affect Knuckles' total votes, but it does nothing to the trend of voting that Knuckles receives.

Yeah, but that is nine hours away and Knux has a 300+ lead that he keeps building. I doubt Rikku has any strength to keep it below 1000 come that time.

I know that Mega Man should be weaker right now, but Mega Man sffing Yoshi makes sense to me and you have to admit that all Yoshi's victroy today, his win over Luigi, Pac-Man and Dante says that he can do more than being doubled by Mega Man..

Natural variance

So roughly what time would we expect Rikku to start stalling and cutting into the lead, if at all?
