I wish 10,000 people wearing blue clothing would vote.

Except during the matches Mario's in. How about 10,000 plumbers wearing blue clothing instead? They could rally for Waluigi next year!

Actually, looking at Sonic/Kirby last year, it looks like Sonic did better with the board vote than Kirby, a sign that Kirby wasn't bandwagoned in that match like he was in the next one.


Bracketz, I imagine.

People vastly overestimate how many votes the board has early. We have maybe 300 people who regularly come here, tops.

Kirby/Sonic last year was pretty remarkably even. If anything, Kirby gets a slight advantage in the day because Sonic's better than he is in Europe.

There's plenty of lurkers and irregular posters.

But by "board vote", I think we generally mean "contest follower" vote. That's in the single digit thousands, and the net effect of how much they favor one guy over the other can be over 2K (e.g. Snake Cloud).

The less skin rikku shows, the less votes she gets.

Yesterday's chart:

Time | Wesker | Ken | Votes
0:05 | 50.45% | 49.55% | 884
1:00 | 49.40% | 50.60% | 8275
2:00 | 49.35% | 50.65% | 6816
3:00 | 50.22% | 49.78% | 6489
4:00 | 51.01% | 48.99% | 7089
5:00 | 50.51% | 49.49% | 7333
6:00 | 50.79% | 49.21% | 6846
7:00 | 48.82% | 51.18% | 6510
8:00 | 48.65% | 51.35% | 5805
9:00 | 48.94% | 51.06% | 4975
10:00 | 49.05% | 50.95% | 4699
11:00 | 49.25% | 50.75% | 4118
12:00 | 48.98% | 51.02% | 3542

Wesker won the early part of the ASV, but not convincingly, only having one hour where he brought in 51% of the vote (and barely at that). Ken got over 51% of the vote 3 out of the last 5 hours (and 1 hour he was only .05% off from having 51%), so that made the difference.

Ken won the 4 biggest states, so that really helped him out there. Someone made this map earlier:

Ken won most of the coastal states and lost most of the interior. I wonder a map showing all the counties would look like: would it be like US presidential elections with 80% of the map being red but the cities being blue?

If Altair is able to beat Liquid, I see no reason he can't also beat Vivi. Both matches are in the day, afterall.
