Hmm Bowser may help Liquid win this... still I can't help but feel Luigi and Bowser will win the day vote, potentially boosting Luigi over Snake. Especially if Bowser slips into 4th, Nintendo fans may just opt to vote Luigi instead... assuming they check the score before voting.

If that happened, I could accept Mudkip winning. That'd just be wild.

Also PHOENIX CUT on Liquid!

relative to expectations. say people expected Luigi to get 38% here - Luigi would be tanking.

This is scary. Phoenix is going almost 50/50 with Bowser for the past few hours. Bowser has to be hurt pretty badly by SFF for this to occur.

'kay, I've formulated some thoughts:

- if "LFF" can wreck Luigi and Bowser this hard, Tifa's dead
- I don't think this is all a Liquid Snake boost - Luigi looked bad. Bowser looks awful today. Mario looked pretty bad in R1. Yoshi looked bad against Squall. I'm starting to wonder if it's a random Mario drop, and I'm curious to see what happens tomorrow.
- I wonder how "static" Phoenix is? man, he could have been amazing with fortunate bracket placement. put him in Duke's group and he might have escaped the entire division. Phoenix is going to absolutely die in the daytime but this is still pretty interesting after the beating he took in R2 last year.

Speaking of SFF and Phoenix, should he be thanking his lucky stars that Geno and Bowser were in the same match? I can't help but think that if Bowser is getting hammered this hard by Luigi that Geno probably got hit pretty bad too.

don't think Geno is above the fodder line either way. I'd take Phoenix straight up.

I really do think some weird result will happen tomorrow. I have utterly no idea what.

I don't think Geno is weaker than Phoenix, and I'd take him to easily 55-45 him in a 1v1 setting. The poor guy just keeps getting stuck against Squall or Bowser =(

Man, while it's awesome to see Phoenix keep up with Bowser, it's a shame not to see Bowser keep up with Luigi. Curses, Yoshi comparisons!

So...is there any new-found worth in the Mario-polls, or are people looking for other evidence as signs of this happening?

Phoenix's current percentage of Phoenix/Bowser votes: 48.64%
Phoenix's final percentage of Phoenix/Magus votes (round 1): 43.70%
Phoenix's final percentage of Phoenix/Magus votes (round 2): 37.57%

Phoenix will probably fall to around 46% on an LFF'd Bowser by the end of the day- still considerably better than either performance against Magus!
