The likely round 3 outcome here is cube / mega man / snake / zero and the likely outcome from that is Snake > Cube. Mageman should finally get what he deserves. ^_^

Tidus making some big cuts.

I lost my chance to say Tails cut!

Anyway Tidus is doing good right now, but for long can he keep this up?

I doubt Tidus is worse in the day than WCC. He should win this.

Wouldn't Portal be considered as a Xbox character? If that's so then the better character might win.

What are you guys talking about, this is one of the few good pictures of Tidus that exist.

And looks like Tidus can't get the lead below 700, hopefully the Cube will comeback soon.

No, it just means the mini-rallying Cube was getting just ran out of steam. Tidus looks in good shape here... surprisingly. This is his best pic since Ganondorf (seriously, why doesn't he get that one more?), but I'm stunned at his performance all the same.

The odds of him taking the lead are good, but him winning is another story.

He's going to have to take the lead and then pull away by a good bit, because if this is close in the final hour, Cube will be rallied to victory.

Pretty good, I think. Tidus is better with the afternoon and evening than the morning on weekends, and he's been gaining steadily since 3 AM.

I don't consider it a coincidence that it's also the picture that he went 50/50 with Ganondorf with.

The only time Tidus got that FFX artwork was against the King of All Cosmos back in 2005, his biggest blowout (and the only time he's ever faced fodder) ever. The picture he got against Ganondorf was...an action figure, actually.

And you have no idea how relieved I am to see that Tidus is going to advance, and he might even still win! I'm still holding out small hopes for Tidus to the third round! Can't give up on that one yet!

Yesterday's chart:

Time | Arthas | Ike | Pikachu | Spy
PHV | 25.17% | 25.70% | 31.41% | 17.71% | (0:00-1:00)
FNV | 29.39% | 23.20% | 31.11% | 16.30% | (1:00-6:00)
BSV | 25.85% | 24.85% | 33.63% | 15.66% | (6:00-9:00)
DSV | 28.12% | 24.94% | 31.93% | 15.01% | (9:00-14:30)
ASV | 25.27% | 27.96% | 32.55% | 14.23% | (14:30-22:00)
SNV | 25.18% | 28.79% | 32.45% | 13.59% | (22:00-24:00)

Arthas actually followed the same trends as last year. Bad Power Hour, strong night and during school vote, and relatively weak ASV and second night vote. Ike basically did what he did last year, too, picking up big steam witht he ASV. Pikachu was pretty consistent all around, and Spy basically kept doing worse as the poll went along.

Yesterday's stats:

Pikachu – 50.00%
Arthas Menethil – 45.36%
Ike – 44.65%
Spy – 32.14%

Donkey Kong is currently scoring about 59% on Tails, which actually isn't bad when considering that Dante could only put up 57% (four years ago, but still). The problem, of course, is that Tidus is putting up about 59% on DK at the same time.

And you have to consider that Tails is trash in this format. Still, 59% on DK is good for me! Wonder if he actually is splitting with Tails here. Well, I'll take Tidus doing well on Kratos here!

Tohoya | Posted 10/4/2008 8:33:19 AM | message detail
Do we think there's been a Square boost?

Granted, Vincent's performance was somewhat underwhelming, but Zidane, Frog, Balthier, Tidus, and hell even Fei have impressed so far. Frog and Tidus both turned debated matches into 10+% drubbings.

Well its obvious Tails is taking votes away form DK here. And its likely some of the WCC joke votes are made up of some of the icon votes DK and Tails would normally get.

PartOfYourWorld | Posted 10/4/2008 8:38:12 AM | message detail
Honestly, I'm pretty clueless as to why DK/Tidus was debated. Granted, I didn't take a look at any stats (every match Tidus has had since 2006 was full of significant and/or dubious SFF, anyway), but it was clear that DK would walk into this thing with a fanbase split not in his favor. That, and his history as a choker makes even Tidus look like Frog.

There have been Angry Sun rallies in the past.

Even if Tidus wins, Cube is guaranteed a spot in the division finals against Snake and Mega Man. If Zero makes it as well (he's favored to do so), that would represent Cube's best opportunity to oust a Noble 9er.
