Also it's crazy that after Block took first in a match that he wasn't favored to win (Ryu/Meta/Dog), and the near unanimous consensus was that he was even more of a lock than last year... this is happening. How... bizarre.

I've gotta imagine brackets played a significant role in that Round 1 result. I also felt that brackets were the reason block underperformed (lololol) in Round 2 and expected him to bounce back slightly today because of it. This is just... well, I can understand a second wave of bracket anti-voting, but what Pikachu is doing suggests he can take Ryu. Bizarre indeed.

Maybe Pikachu can take Ryu....he got fairly close to Luigi in round 4 last year, and Dante/Leon didn't LFF each other too badly this year, unless Riku is just really weak.

It's possible that Ryu's lost a step or two for whatever reason.

7 users fell off the Top 50 today. Iubaris, dexter28, ProfitProphet, KrazyHokage, SenpaiDessus, Biggoron5 and Arkayo did not have Samus > Vincent as yesterday's winners.

Everybody who scored half points or less fell off the Top 50.

From Ulti's Pikachu vs. Parappa analysis:

with the hate that Pikachu generated during a match with PaRappa, it was unlikely that Pikachu would ever take down anyone of substance.

Does Pikachu outperform Ganondorf against Samus next round? I'm going with "yes." Sure, he looks to be benefiting from a great situation, but all he has to do is avoid the doubling.

Uhhh, are we looking at the same poll?

Pikachu is under a 100 vote lead, inasmuch as he is under a 0 vote lead, inasmuch as he's actually losing right now.

Probably I'm walking into an obvious joke right now but I don't care.

After seeing this, Pikachu should easily do better than Ganon....meaning we have a 3-way fight for first! 6 days from now.....that will be the match of the contest.

Well that's easily explained. Look at the demographic of the site. I'm probably one of the few hold-overs from 6+ years ago, and I highly doubt people my ripe-old age comprise a high % of the site.

Conversely people who are of the right age to have enjoyed Pokemon as a child (and some still to this day, nothing wrong with that) most likely comprise the largest age demographic on this site.

People like things that they liked as a child, it's just the way things are. Why do you think the Ninja Turtles and old school NES stuff started to become popular and appear on T-shirts and things again at places like Hot Topic a few years ago? Same logic can be applied here.

I'm not sure what today's youth is into though, as I only was familiar with Pokemon because I have a brother that is 10 years younger than I.
