Arthas is gaining with the morning vote. Do you think the kiddies love the Lich King or something? Ike is dead. While the ASV should favor Ike a bit more, it'll favor Arthas a bit more too, proportionally. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL.

Just how early do you crazy American kids get up? Last i checked it
wasn't even 7 over there, so the morning vote's hardly in full swing.

One shot comebacks often happen in the Morning vote/ASV. If Arthas can duplicate that, however... Although, this proves that casual vote-wise, Arthas is no Gordon. He'll probably make up what he loses here in the day vote, but he also has the Europe ASV to worry about-Brawl's very recent over here. --- The below statement is the most false thing in the world. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n237/Danielyoon10/B8sigbet.jpg?t=1221767288 |

Uh, OK. Ike is still gaining vote-wise. By a lot. But Arthas is spiking FOR NO REASON. I suspect shenanigans. Someone get Allen on the case somehow.

Lightning Strikes (#359) Uh, its nothing fishy on Arthas part. Its just that Pika is going crazy with the kiddy vote and Ike is jobbing. People expected Ike to do well with the kiddy vote over Pikachu? xD This was last update: Arthas - 25.90% Ike - 22.30% Pikachu - 38.85% Spy - 12.95% --- Vote for Arthas Menethil in the Character Contest! http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |

No. If anything the last update proves my case. Arthas was losing to Ike big time. And then he suddenly stops and spikes, WHILE IKE IS STILL GAINING PERCENTAGE-WISE. Then, when Ike starts to decline, he goes back to what he was before. That's really, really obvious cheating. In fact, it might even be you doing it. --- The below statement is the most false thing in the world. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n237/Danielyoon10/B8sigbet.jpg?t=1221767288 |

Not even Frog and Phoenix have THAT much rally-power.

It wasn't stuffing. I just posted a topic on WoW forums right before it for the first time since last night. So likely people who just woke up and checked wow forums and saw it, and voted for Arthas.

If anything, I'd call stuffing for Ike that last update where he gained.

So who's worried about not having Arthas in Round 3 now? 'CAUSE I SURE AM ACK I was always a little worried, but I think Alucard is safe. Arthas isn't doing nearly as well as I thought he would. |

Kratos has a good ASV, seems like. Diddy is the first Nintendo character whose Power Hour was the worst time. I'm thinking DK's probably pretty close to the same way. Makes sense. We'll find out tomorrow. Yesterday's stats: Alucard – 50.00% Captain Falcon – 44.41% Diddy Kong – 34.74% Kratos Aurion – 32.53% The fact that Ike is only stalling Arthas right now when this is typically the time Nintendo tears things up isn't a good sign for him. He'll have to hope for a monster ASV at this point. Either that, or he's going to have to find some way to find the during school vote and the after school vote, which doesn't usually happen. Pikachu's the one tearing things up right now. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

Firstly, Zen, look at what time it was I made that post. >_> Secondly, what makes me think Arthas is cheating rather than just a rally is the way that Ike is still gaining percentage, but Arthas stays JUST above him. He's always strong enough to mysteriously block Ike's gains, and this is consistent. --- The below statement is the most false thing in the world. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n237/Danielyoon10/B8sigbet.jpg?t=1221767288 |

Part of the reason Ike can still go up in percentage despite the fact he's not gaining is that Spy is dropping like a rock. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

And I'll go ahead and eat my words about Diablo/Arthas having minimal to no LFF. I was wrong about that. Ike's not out of it yet though. He just really has to start pickin' it up.

Smite, I think this should be a lesson for you to never totally trust
board votes when it comes to a Nintendo character vs. a character not
totally loved on the board. Anyway, I think this definently shows there WAS significant LFF between Diablo and Arthas. --- Vote for Arthas Menethil in the Character Contest! http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |

Of course, Diablo couldn't have hurt Arthas THAT much considering that
last year Arthas only had a minor rally which according to Albion
produced some anti-votes. Also, Wottlekay hype combined with his
picture(although not quite TPF-Arthas had that last year too). But GG Ike. He still has a small chance, but Pika(and POSSIBLE Arthas cheating-not sure if it's enough to change the result but his pattern is suspicious) have screwed him over. Definitely the strongest Brawl newcomer. --- The below statement is the most false thing in the world. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n237/Danielyoon10/B8sigbet.jpg?t=1221767288 |

Yeah, I don't know if Pikachu is hindering Ike or not. Seems to be
taking away some of that morning vote power though. The next round is
going to be interesting though, I think. Alucard > Pikachu looks

Why do you people think its not over except bias for Ike? Do you think
Ike will come back from over 1500 down when its already obvious Pikachu
takes the kiddy votes? Honestly, I wouldnt be surprised if Ike NEVER
makes a comeback with the rat in the match. --- Vote for Arthas Menethil in the Character Contest! http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |

Are people so sure Ike > Marth right now? Ike's currently further
away from Pikachu than Marth from DK last year and we've debated about
whether or not being in SSB/M gives a favorable position against
SSBB-newcomers. I'm okay either way, but it felt a little premature when I came across that earlier. I'm waiting to see if Ike can pick this up with the ASV (like he should) first. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

Also, Arthas has this. He's already got linkage and Pika's in the poll,
so Ike's ASV will be diluted...and I don't think Ike's doing much any
other time. With Arthas's big lead, that's terribly big to overcome.
