yeah, Vincent is slowly pulling away during what is traditionally Zelda's best time.

well... I'll give it a minute or three, but I have very low hopes for her here.

Hey, Vincent's a slight favorite here on the board. Let's not jump on the "lol Zelda" bandwagon *too* quick there, guys.

That said, if he does pull this out, I'll be firmly in the Ganon > Zelda camp from here on out.

I don't know if I'm the only one, but I'm more interested in the Tails/The Boss deadlock, mainly because I want to see Tails fail. Damn fox.

You are not the only one.
I just voted for The Boss specifically to help her get closer to third.

Are they supposed to be this even, by the way? Did Tails drop off? Or did The Boss somehow get stronger? (...or should I not be asking these things before the poll's even frozen?)
transience | Posted 9/15/2007 9:06:13 PM | message detail
remember Ganon/Vincent, though? Ganon was cleanly ahead of Vincent for a good hour. I just can't see this going the other way -- though it's obviously not 100% after five minutes and a 10 vote lead.

The only chance I see, is that TP made enough of an impression on the kiddies, that they all switch to the Zelda camp this year. Especially since Vincent had AC and DoC last year and nothing this year.

Bidoof had a surprisingly low number of brackets given the competition, I think. though PW had a MUCH higher percentage than I expected.

Thing is, Ganon was a favorite on the board, which accounted for his lead throughout the hour. Granted he bombed that as the day went on, but...

I dunno, I feel reluctant to count Zelda out here. I feel that Ganon *should* be stronger, but she seems a fair bit more dangerous. Even goin' all Chibi here...

I can't see Vincent getting antivoted as hard as Cloud/Sephy.

Cloud/Sephy are seen as the face of the game, and the reason why it's so popular. "Indie cred" nerds LOVE anti-voting popular things.

Vincent is emo and a "tragic" side-character. Something agnsty nerds LOVE.

For what it's worth, Zelda is more prominent and much more favored in SSBM than Ganon...plus she's already announced on the SSBB-site. Combine those two, and maybe she'll perform better in the day-time than Ganon did.

How do her trends compare to Ganon or other Nintendo characters?
