Yeah, it's not even definite that Kratos wins the ASV. It's not like he'll smash Charizard with it.

I think this match was over long ago. The trends are the only interesting thing now.

I'd give Kratos a very slight edge with the ASV, though Charizard could win it himself. I think Kratos wins the SNV, but doesn't dent Zard much at all.

...wot

Make up your mind, 'Zard. Was this a Kratos decrease or did 'Zard hulk up again?

Kratos' worst update of the match vote-wise (not counting the poll glitching time), and Charizard's best in four.

Both. This has just been perfect timing to look bad for Kratos. Every drop Kratos has so far has come at the same time as a big Charizard spike (granted, it's only been twice, but those were two huge updates for Charizard).

551 at the end of the hour... 95% chance charizard still wins, but I wouldn't say its a 100% lock.

The next couple of hours should be favorable to Kratos, you'd think. If he can't do anything at this time, then forget it.

Kratos always trends way up from noon until midnight. This isn't totally over yet, and could come down to ASV. Which we're way overdue for, by the way. Not enough ASV madness this contest.

I believe I said something yesterday along the lines of "Charizard could win and people will call it disappointing if he doesn't get a blowout".

Looks like I was right!

The 'Zard's bracket support should be abysmal after winning this one, too. He only had 53% getting past round 1 and Krato had 85%. I wonder if he'll have even less than Hayabusa and Vivi.

And after Ammy's performance makes Shadow look better and Kratos's performance makes Tails look better, Sonic might not be in too bad of shape going into that match against Ganon. Lightning's just a beast!

And I guess Cecil is, too!

Ocelot never was either, and he took the lead over Red later on. Just because they aren't leading in the first hour doesn't mean they can't take the lead.

Sonic team always looked to be around their 2008 strength, no worse. The badness of it was that it confirmed that 2008 was not a fluke or a product of 4-ways.

I wanna say Kratos is done, but not sure. Usually, being down 750+ votes against a guy who's good with the day vote means the end.

Charizard should win pretty easily unless Isaac beats Duke and Tails.

We've never seen L-Block 1-on-1 against a higher tier character.

I am admittedly interested in seeing what it'll do though.

I don't expect it, but I hope Kratos stalls with the ASV. The narrower this is for Charizard, the better it is for Sora. Too bad that Round 4 match is on a Sunday (right?), because I would have loved to see the KH ASV reign supreme once more.

The fact that Charizard's doing noticeably better in Europe than in NA means Kratos's percentage will start going up as we get more American voters, you'd think.
