hmm.. Bowser only held the lead for two minutes in his match, yet he looked to be going 50/50 with Ryu there. can't wait for this update.

Amazing how Samus' prediction percentage is high while Cloud's percercentage is so low.

This is an excellent performance from Shadow. He's right where I pegged him now, and once the Sonic day vote hits, he should at least be able to jump up 10 or 20 percent.

Bowser and Shadow are both Power Hour characters, and neither is looking good right now.

I don't think it matters if Bowser's a Power Hour character when you have Ryu's morning vote.

From Master Moltar
This is an excellent performance from Shadow. He's right where I pegged him now, and once the Sonic day vote hits, he should at least be able to jump up 10 or 20 percent.

No way, there are too many strong day vote characters in this match for the weakest of them to benefit that much.

We've been over this. Samus was the first option in the choices, therefore casual bracketmakers (who didn't know the importance of first and second placement) picked her in first inadvertently. Cloud has a higher overall percentage.

If Ryu wins this easily, I will be 100% committed to the idea that people are simply voting differently in this contest. There's no chance in hell that Ryu beats Bowser in a rematch, and Bowser doesn't have the "split votes" argument to fall back on in this match, especially with Shadow already performing so poorly.

BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 10/7/2007 9:17:09 PM | message detail
Heh, Bowser should keep this even for a while, but Ryu should dominate come night time.

How much he dominates will be the difference between him advancing, and Bowser kicking his weak-day-vote ass.

Ryu by 2.

Also, Samus was the 3rd option last round. Wouldn't Axel or Frog be higher up in the options list?

I think Bowser's core fanbase is really just that weak. Looks like he's suffering from Peach Syndrome.

Ryu's night vote is scary, and Bowser isn't the day vote threat that some other Nintendo characters are. This thing will look awfully ugly when Ryu nearly doubles up Bowser in some dead hour updates.

I like Bowser.

He's awesome as Comic Relief. And while he's not a very good villain per se, he's still awesome ih his persistence.

Ryu won't need 2000 votes. I'd feel good with a 1000 vote lead, personally... well, 1500 to be sure. but 1000 and I'd say Ryu's the dominating favourite.

and I think he's going to get to 1000.
