Wario's in a not-too-shabby position though - even if Zack is a known quantity, I expect the fatass to get the day vote. He may have looked raw with it last year, but seven of the eight characters he was up against were also Nintendo characters - and the eighth was Sephiroth.

Wario is one of those Nintendo characters the kids love to hate!

Honestly, I'm disappointed in Cecil right now. I never felt he had a shot, but I thought he could've stayed closer to second than to Jade.

..What? Zack is not taking the Day Vote against a Nintendo character in Brawl.

Cloud takes day vote against anyone but the strongest. So why not Zack?

I wonder - was Wario this strong all along, and just looked weak as he was thanks to Metaknight/Fox, or did Brawl do that much for him?

This could be interesting if it stays close, because we really don't know about Zack or Wario's trends. Wario last year was stronger at night, but he was consistently matched with day vote characters. He's certainly not going to be a day vote monster (barring a lot of help from Smash), but he could potentially make a move in the day.

Final Fantasy VII tends to be pretty well balanced, if slightly stronger at night. So if Wario does take the lead, we could also see a Zack comeback during the day. Pretty good way to start the first ten minutes of the contest, at least.

And Zack > Shadow? If Zack and Wario are even, then Zack and Shadow shouldn't really be close. Wario/Shadow was just an embarrassing match for the fat guy.

That was five years ago

pre-Brawl

This is not 2003 Wario.

and again, Zack is going even with Wario despite having some degree of some factor hurting him here.

Because Zack is, contrary to popular belief, NOT Cloud.

Cloud takes the day vote due to anti-voting in the early parts.

Can't say anything definitive about the day vote with Zack. He could take it easy, or he could not do anything once the sun comes up. He's all over the place like that.

Gotta see how he does past this hour, though.

Remember when Bowser lost to Ryu because of three Nintendo characters? That did him a lot of good come rematch time. Zack isn't guaranteed that much of Jade/Cecil's support.

I think Wario was probably somewhat close to this last year strength-wise (that was after his Brawl announcement, right?)... but he's just really low on the Nintendo totem pole. Put him against someone not-Nintendo and he'll look a lot better.

Yeah, unless the mysterious Zack chooses a time (be it the dead hours, the morning, the day, whatever) to just start bleeding votes, I think he's safe for the next two rounds. Shadow can't match this with Link and Wario in the same poll.

This has the making of one of those "bracket votes helped Wario stay close, now he's collapsing" deals.

Yeah, but luckily for him, he probably doesn't actually need much of Jade/Cecil's support to beat Shadow and Wario next round. Link will be SFFing Wario into the ground, and Shadow will probably be taking a bit of a hit from Link too (Sonic guys tend to do that with Nintendo guys, right?)... and Shadow's just not that great to begin with.

the only person calling this match is Ulti, and that's because he likes sounding like a presumptive ass. or doesn't get the fact that things change past the first 15 minutes.

this is no doubt looking really good for Zack, but I'd expect this (and the dead hours) to be his strongest time. I'm expecting him to build his lead overnight, with Wario trying to bring it back with the day. This is shaping up to be an epic footrace imo.

Excellent, Zack is leading Wario during the power hour- if this were any other FFVII character we've ever seen in these contests (except Zolom) against any other Nintendo character, we'd all be calling the match right now.
