It's hard to see either Gordon or Duke winning the day vote. Obviously Gordon can't win it, and Duke is just ancient, no one knows him anymore.

That's why I'm having a tough time envisioning Duke winning it. The guy hasn't had a game in over five years, and his last game that anyone cared about is a good eight years old.

Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package.

Gordon seems to have a bad day vote history. But last year he didn't do any worse against Sora than Megaman did with the day vote. That's gotta be encouraging.... right? Please say yes

Guybrush sure as hell isn't winning it either.

My personal vote: Ike > Gordon > Duke > Guybrush in the day.

There's no way Guybrush is going to maintain the 80% he builds over night HM, stop being delusional.

I think the perfect match to judge trends on is Alucard's fourpack. Ness is a current Smash character, yet he did nothing with the day vote. Ike isn't even in the game yet.

Duke lost like 8% against Cloud throughout the match. Sure Milkem gave him an early start but that's still awful.

I just can't imagine younger gamers voting for Duke.

Gordon winning the day vote is highly unlikely to say the least, but at least younger gamers might know Half-Life. You'd have to be older to know Duke.

The Liquid/Alucard match might be a good comparison here actually. I was already thinking that Ike could have a decent day vote, but might fall out of contention overnight - which is what happened to Ness.

Hopefully though Ike can keep this closer than Ness, because a 3-way race for 1st throughout the match would be awesome.

Also, Liquid/Alucard should actually have better day votes than Gordon/Duke! (as hard as it is to imagine Liquid/Alucard having better day votes than anyone) So even if Ike is like Ness he might not be entirely out of it.

If Gordon loses to Duke then I would take him to lose to Team Fortress 2 heavy weapons guy.

Everyone is gaining at Ike's expense now. He better hope the day vote is his.

I'm thinking Ike for the day vote, because of Brawl...but Brawl hasn't worked out for me much thus far.

After that, Gordon makes the most sense, considering Half Life 2 is the most mainstream game in the fourpack. But then Gordon doesn't exactly have a good history in this contest.

I guess tomorrow will tell us if casual voters still remember the Duke.

It's not "Brawl" so much as it is the "Smash Bros. Dojo website." That's the only placed Ike has been announced. He hasn't been a part of any hype trailers; he's no different than Lucas. It won't be Smash that gets him the day vote, but Fire Emblem and/or a monumental collapse from his two competitors. I don't give either a very high probability at this point.

I don't have much hope left for Ike but he'll be back next year (or whenever) to carry the Fire Emblem banner with full Smash boost and whatever Radiant Dawn does.

I'm going to try and get Video Compiler to put up a video telling people to vote for the Duke. That should be enough extra support to get him the win.

I just wish I'd thought of this sooner!

Not to the scale of Mudkip or Bidoof I suppose, but he's become huge because of youtube.

Actually that's perfect timing for Gordon, assuming he makes it through. It's the only chance he's got to beat out Sub-Zero for second, that's for sure.
