Cloud's looking fine here.

Look at that board vote, now look at what his % ended up as.

not really a fair comparison, but Link had 48% last year at the freeze. Edgeworth had.. 17.6%.

Board vote. She was creaming Scorpion last year in board vote. She'll go down, but AXel is done regardless.

It's Cloud. He didn't hit 50% until 15 minutes in round 1 last year, and still ended above 61%. He's already 10 minutes ahead of that match in reaching 50%.

because the other two are complete fodder? this result is perfectly normal. Kratos Aurion would easily be in second here too.

also,CLoud better outperform Link here.Link's match was much harder...Shadow and Zidane would both easily win a fourpack with Edgeworth,Midna and this other dude.

And yes, I admit I was wrong. While Axel will likely still get 12% once this is over (day vote and such), I seem to have put too much faith into the GH fanbase. Make fun of me all you want.

Pac-Man is too similar to Axel steel. He's the "face" of something no one cares enough to vote for, especially if there are other Nintendo options to choose from.

Looks like my prediction of Cloud being under 50% was slightly off. Also Axel better recover in the next update this is worse than what I thought.

Cloud is going to increase 10%+. How will Axel manage a 4% increase atop that? He's going to finish at around this level, maybe lower.

Only 6 people fell off the top 50 today. ralloszek, DeepThoatFox, acshen, XxMeTe0xX, VillageScorp and renzoken101 did not have Squall > Yoshi as yesterday's winners.

One person scored half points and survived. Former first place SoldierTwo also did not have Squall > Yoshi as yesterday's winners.

Because at first 2 updates, its the most hardcore gamefaq users that don't care about GH. He'll do alot better then this 8% during the day. Plus, Midna and Edge have percentage to bleed.

Midna and Edgeworth will drop most of that. Axel might go up but not above 10% I don't think.

Axel's not going to move a whole lot from here. He'll probably do a bit better, but almost all of the percentage increase we see in this match will come from Cloud.

as expected, axel steel doesn't even match edgeworth. i underestimated midna, though.

you're assuming GH players care about the characters in the game...which seems wrong to me. GH is the kind of game where no one cares about the people in there.

Since never. Look at last years results, at first update she was up like 35-29 over Scorpy.

Midna may stay somewhat steady in the power hour, but she'll go down like crazy at Clouds expense mainly over night. She'll probably end up at about 18 or 19%

You seriously expect a music game character to not fall in the Nintendo power hour with Edgeworth and Midna?

He'll start going up at night, though.

I have pretty consensus picks for the rest of the round, except I've got Mewtwo > Pac-Man tomorrow and that has me worried(I also have Mewtwo getting out of the division with Cloud which is looking a bit better after yesterday).

I have Sandbag over Magus too.
