it appears that the block has adopted a new strategy this year.

Forgo the early vote madness to give everyone false hope, then tear it up with the day vote.

I don't know anywhere to really do it with a loyal fanbase who'd vote for him over all else.

For first? Are you kidding? L may have had MORE normal trends in R1 this year, but the power hour was still his best time easily.

Maybe it's that weird underpreformance for 1st place thing that's slowing the block here. Even the casuals know how big a force it is and may be voting for 2nd place instead.

Ammy's destined to be a character with a hardcore fanbase... figure it'd be hard to get her much under the percentage she has now in any match.

L Block was also up 35%-27% at first freeze, and it became 31.8% for L Block and 31.5% for Ryu at the end of the match. Ryu is just horrid early on, but he should dominate the night over Block

YES CRONO, kill that block!

One thing to consider is that a lot of the board voted for Meta-Knight last round to stop L-Block, hurting Ryu's board vote. I'm not sure whether that's more than the number of people who gave up on Ryu and just voted for Crono.....not that there's anything wrong with voting Crono regardless of whether Ryu could beat L or not!

Yeah. She's a good bet to be one of those characters who can always pull in mid-teens at least, regardless of what competition you throw in there.
