I blame Rikku wearing orange, since orange is close to red.

If she was wearing nothing at all, she'd be winning!

Okay, so I'm kind of distanced from the contest now. How does Wesker go from getting 70-30'd by KEFKA to keeping up with Ken? Has RE5 made Wesker that much more popular? Or is the old school officially dead now? :(

I'm not sure if anybody knows. RE5 feels like the biggest culprit, but it's hard to imagine that was all Wesker.


And holy crap Kirby. Kirby is going to boil Sonic alive if Ganon doesn't do it first.

Kirby is burying both the Nintendo de-boost and Square boost theories. Feeling better about Subz > Tidus. Feeling worse about Jecht > Phoenix.

What was Rikku projected to get on Kirby anyway?

Fact/Fiction: Kirby will get a higher percentage on GlaDOS/Fawful than Sonic will get on Knuckles.

I kinda figured the Rikku hype was overthinking after a bunch of days where we had close matches that we didn't expect.

And I'm extremely glad I have Kirby leaving this division! Kirby's got a chance to beat out what Sonic got on Lightning. The hedgehog had 65.67% at the freeze.

Also, this match isn't exactly saying anything for Kirby. We already know he 58/42'd FFX's main character... He's just keeping up the status quo. Sonic's match against Lightning was much more significant.

Assuming a constant Rikku 2006, Kirby gets 44% on Samus as of right now.

Even if Rikku breaks 40%, Kirby's doing much better than Sonic. Rikku's a FF-hotty starring in two FF-games...Lightning's the lead of one not released in America yet.

Not a doubt in my mind Rikku > Tidus 1v1.

Unless Rikku ends up breaking 42%, this is pretty silly thinking and you're just underselling Tidus for no reason whatsoever.

Yeah because a match in 2005 when Tidus was the favorite, before Kirby sucked in steroids bears any relevance now.

All of Tidus's matches are Tidus vs Not Tidus. I love the guy, but he sucks in these polls.

I ultimately switched to Sub-Zero because Tidus has had four straight years of disappointing results. I'm not sure if anyone else has such a streak going, because Magus and Shadow have both missed contests.
