Another modest Ada cut, this time by 5. If Ada edges the day/ASV (and I think she will, though the younguns might vote for the cuter-looking Ammy (clutching at straws there <_<)) I think she'll take it. She wouldn't have to win by much to put it out of Amaterasu's range.

*waits for update*

Yup, cut of 2. This is kind of a trend...that's 6 consecutive updates that Ammy has failed to win. A record for the match so far?

If this continues all day, I give the edge to Amaterasu. Her supporters seem more likely to rally.

I would argue that there wasn't much fanbase sharing in Mega Man/Yoshi/Knuckles. They're all from entirely different series and companies. Luigi/Ganondorf would surely have a whole lot more LFF between them. The effect of LFF is overrated for the most part... Riku/Roxas had massive LFF, of course, but I think the only other match where the leeching effect was massive was the Squall/Aeris match. Bowser didn't gain that much on Ryu the next round, and it's not like Kratos massacred DK. Mudkip looked so good this Round I think was partly because of 4Chan doing more for Mudkip than for Bidoof (and 4Chan helped Bidoof more than Mudkip last round, I think). Vergil didn't gain that much percentage on Ganondorf with Luigi's presence. I wouldn't be surprised if Yuna actually got fourth place next round, despite Luigi and Ganondorf being together. (I'm just hoping Luigi pulls a miracle for second...)

Tied update, make that 7 that Ammy has failed to win.

Ada can put it beyond the reach of rallying, yo, just by winning every day update by 8 or 9 or whatever marginal victory. Wouldn't take much...

I hope not, though, I want this to never have a lead over 100 because that would be insane (with Ada winning at the end though!).

Leech Fanbase Factor. In case in you need to know more (prolly not), it's a term to differentiate from SFF. SFF in the past usually has referred to the stronger character in the fanbase overperfoming, but LFF refers to both characters being hurt by the same fanbase.

Well, at least it's a way of explaining the fanbase split quickly and efficiently

Cut again, now to 3.

Ammy, do something. The match has been too awesome so far for you to screw up =(

Believe me, LFF is a much needed term. Take this example:

"Fox was hurt by SFF in his Round 2 match."
"No, dummy! Fox was helped by SFF! Look at how he killed Meta Knight and Wario!"
"Wait, no, I mean that Fox was hurt by the Nintendo fanbase split!"

It's been like this for a while. Ammy gets the lead out to around 50, Ada comes back and takes the lead, and in the update after that, Ammy starts building again.

Okay, maybe "fanbase split"... I never felt comfortable saying that... always seemed like I was suggesting SFF in terms of it favoring the stronger character.

I hope that this will be our first and perhaps the only tie. I wonder how Bacon would solve that problem. Would Ada advance just because she has already won one match?

Zylo, the official rules say that whom ever got the most votes from registered GameFAQs users would win.

If it came to that, I would favor the less-casual friendly character (who would get more votes from outsiders), which is definitely Ammy in this case.

Which one do you think will hurt more people's brackets next round? The chances aren't high but I can see Ada being there hurting Leon's chances of advancing. Ammy might have an effect if either Tidus or Vivi get through.

Amaterasu is getting the before-school vote... that's a much needed thing for her, since RE4 characters do much better with the ASV than with before school.

I think 6-8 was Amaterasu's best time in the last match and incidentally was Ada's worst. So gaining here is pretty natural. I think the lead she creates in the next hour or 2 will be the lead the match will end at O_o

I dunno. I'm pretty sure some people on the leaderboard must have picked Ammy to reach the 2nd round. It isn't implausible that a few of those would have Ammy going on to the third round as well. Oh and Amaterasu is a her.

I know this has probably been said 100 times already, or at least been brought up, but I woke up at 6 this morning to get a bunch of work done for class, and I don't have time to really read what's gone on since last night! This looks like it'll be a fun to watch later tonight, hopefully at least, because I won't have the time to enjoy it all day.
