I love how more people are voting Pikachu in that rally topic than Arthas.

Go Pikachu!

Arthas probably seems to be more of a night vote guy, as he's winning some updates on Ike right now.

EVERY SPIKE IN EVERY MATCH EVER IS CHEATING. GORDON CHEATED BECAUSE HE NEVER WINS. L-BLOCK CHEATED BECAUSE HE'S A TETRIS BLOCK AND RUSSIANS ARE COMMUNISTS WHOSE DICTATOR PUTS THEM IN SWEATSHOPS TO VOTE STUFF L-BLOCK TO CONQUER OUR VIDEO GAME CHARACTER CONTESTS.

Huge cut. If Arthas gets this really close over the next 20 minutes, Ike is gone. No Nintendo character can hope to win if they can't really take advantage of the Power Hour.

Ike's gonna cut a lot of votes come daytime. Arthas just needs to put this out of reach before then.

check out that morning vote last year vs. Gordon and Duke.

Nah, it just proves Albion has no life outside of WoW and the forums.


OK, are you just gonna ***** about cheating on every remotely close match from now on? Because that's all I ever see you do anymore.

Seriously, we all know that even if there was cheating, Bacon won't do anything anyway, so who gives a **** besides you? You knew what happened last year, and if you didn't plan your bracket around this possibility, it's your own damn fault, so just drop the damn whining and stop being such a ****ing baby.

I'll say Ike 60% and Arthas 40% right now for advancing.

Ike swung about 1200 votes down 2000 against Gordon, before giving up 200 again in the second night vote. All he needs to do is not go down ~1000 votes or so before morning hits. At this point, I think he can manage it. He needs a couple more good stalls to round out the Power Hour so Arthas has to spend some significant time coming back, though.

Arthas' inherant power is through rallying. Like L Block. Any character that isn't very popular on this site, to do well, needs rallying. Just look at Starcraft.

Sorry, but you're no match for Ultimaterialoser! He will win and we'll end up with one of the greatest rivalries the board has ever seen.

I'd guess Ike fans are rallying more, especially at the beginning of this match - when an underdog starts cutting there's usually a stall from bracketeer rallying.
