And Ike won't have a tremendous day vote? The guy cut 1000 votes away from Gordon Freeman when he essentially only had Fire Emblem to draw on. The guy is going to be beastly with it.

Though at this rate, it might not matter.

Good thing there will be more people on the WoW forums too!

Not that Pikachu isn't still the 99.9% favorite to take this match - but that's a lower chance than he had just an hour ago! <_<

Ike will stultify Pikachu's day vote. Ike owned the ASV last year, remember?

Yeah, Arthas has no business dropping off so much just when the night vote starts He was definitely being rallied heavily there, meaning Ike still has a shot.

Figure Ike'll be down by at least 1000 by the time the day vote starts if this keeps up.

If Arthas has a lead of 1000 by the time the sun comes up, he might as well hand Ike the match gift-wrapped. The guy lost the morning/day/ASV vote in a match with Diablo, KOS-MOS, and Mega Man.

Ike absolutely needs to keep this within 1000 votes if he wants a chance. His day vote's good, but Pikachu's there to mess it up a bit.

I think the Arthas rallying topic was deleted cuz it became a Fire Emblem discussion topic. Theres others popping up, don't worry.

And why are people ignoring Pikachu when talking about Ike tearing up the ASV?

This was pre WoW. We don't know WoW fanbase trends yet. I doubt it'll compete with Pikachu or Ike day vote, but it might not be too bad.

I'm tempted to rally on the smashboards just to counter-act the balance, but I doubt it would have much effect.
