Squall and Sonic haven't moved much from their early positions in
previous matches. Sub-Zero usually flatlines, too. Sora usually gains a
little (ASV). --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe! "I just happen to think you are an idiot. Why must it be so personal?" - Sir Chris |

So, yeah. I definitely see SSBB creating some nice boosts among
established characters. Same with Galaxy, hopefully. Hype just obscures
the boosts sometimes, so I'm not sure how much we'll see from Snake
after the game comes out (though he'll certainly get something from the
game). --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

Squall and Sonic are both doing great, mostly because their competition
is collapsing. That's bound to benefit Squall more, since Sora
collapsing = more Square votes for him. --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe! "I just happen to think you are an idiot. Why must it be so personal?" - Sir Chris |

Personally I think Master Chief's match was more impressive than this
or Snake's, despite it being a slight disappointment in my eyes. Snake had an excuse, obviously. Just sayin... Squall/Sora/Sub-Zero vs Ganon/Luigi/Yuna, who ya got? --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

Why would Brawl boost Ganon? I doubt Ganon moves much from where he is. Squall is the impressive one. Sonic/Squall/Snake/Block might be the most awesome match of all time just because no one has a clue what will happen. The only guarantee is that Squall doesn't take 1st. ...unless he's being killed by LFF here and would actually be crushing Sonic otherwise :) --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

At this rate Squall may start gaining and even take the lead over Sonic
sometime near the end of the night vote. Unless Squall just has a
really powerful opening hour. Unfortunately that won't last after the night, obviously. --- This story is not an end yet. Because only you are in the infinity loop. |

Sora's not really collapsing though. It's unclear whether he'll finish higher or lower (the night vote might hurt him a lot), but he's doing fine right now. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I don't think this indicates Squall > Sonic. There's definitely
overlap between Squall and Sora, but as we saw in round 2, it's not that much. And Squall was bound to look great today by comparison with being LFFed by Aeris in the first two rounds. --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe! "I just happen to think you are an idiot.

Squall/Sora/Sub-Zero vs Ganon/Luigi/Yuna, who ya got? one on one Squall > Ganon Sora > Luigi Sub-Zero > Yuna so the first one nobody wins with more than 52.5 - 47.5, I'd say. |

Maybe Sora isn't collapsing after all. I thought I'd had him higher in
my Oracle prediction. Then maybe Aeris was LFFing Squall even more than
she seemed to be? Hmm... And I think Sora will finish higher than where he is now. Even if there's no ASV per se, that just means that Sora's bonus will be distributed throughout the day instead of after 3PM EST. --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe!

Yeah, I think Sonic's is a bit tougher too... but he's probably gonna
end a few % below Master Chief when this is done. Even though Sonic's
day vote is good, I don't think he's going to get helped by it much
here with Sora here to gobble it up. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

I don't see how people don't see the potential squall upset here. He's

Squall probably gains like 2% if Sora's not here. I don't think it's that significant at all.
