Yeah, I think it's a law in Japan not to release big-name games like Pokemon or Dragon Quest on a weekday as it causes mass amount of people to skip work.

Thousand-vote get.

This is over if it wasn't already over. The ASV isn't going to favor Kratos that much more over Pokemon and B8 isn't letting Charizard lose if it even gets close.

Charizard actually did (minorly) better in the 2nd hour than the first.

53.21% that hour, 53.13% the "power hour".

12 hour matches have made it hard on some characters.

That said, Charizard should beat L-Block and lose to Sora.

Losing to Charizard =/= joke. Charizard is the strongest legit pokemon by far.

That stall was Charizard's lowest vote intake so far and Kratos's highest in almost an hour. If this is the start of a trend (it probably isn't, but for the sake of a great match lets hope it is) and a pro-Kratos ASV (it's only a little early for the ASV to start), then this could be amazing.
Of course, this is all wishful thinking and I don't think Kratos can come back from this far down, but we can all hope.

There goes that wishful thinking, though Kratos increased his vote total again, so maybe I wasn't being too far-fetched.

Wait, a game release on a Sunday?

Has anyone double checked this fact that we've been espousng endlessly actually?


I know the release date is 3/14. Isn't that the day of Charizard/Sora?

And Dante's worthy of a 2 seed. Just that Ryu's a lot better than a 7.

I would say Pikachu is the favourite in that match and even if he loses it wouldn't be by much.

In a direct matchup, Pikachu gets SFFed out of town.

People that hate pokémon vote Charizard, because pikachu is the "face" of the series.
Hardcore Pokémon fans vote Charizard.
Casuals vote Charizard for being more badass.

People like Ermine vote Pikachu.

And after how bad L-Block looked, it doesn't reflect too well on Ryu, but it's pretty simple to chalk that up to the Block dropping, I suppose. We'll see. I'm pretty confident Dante wins without a problem at this point, but who knows.

Pikachu/Charizard is one of those matches I'd like to see just for the sake of seeing how many people actually vote for Pikachu.

Oh, and I guess this is worth asking: Charizard vs. Mewtwo?

Charizard takes Pikachu to the cleaners, and probably beats Mewtwo as well.

I think Mewtwo would SFF the Chu as well.

See, I think Pikachu probably holds up pretty well. Just a hunch.

Man, next division's going to be pretty boring. They should all be pretty easy wins for everyone involved.

Looking at Charizard's path, I'm a bit disappointed we won't get a better gauge of Charizard. Do you guys trust basing him off of Duke and Kratos? Kratos was against a lot of SFF, characters with a reason to boost, and L-Block throughout the 4-way contests. Duke's best match to gauge was probably his last match in 08. He got 22% on Link. But other than that, I don't really trust Duke either based on last contest. I have a feeling I'm missing something, but yeah.

If Charizard faces Sora, we'll get a pretty clean read off of him (if he loses anyway; if he wins and faces Mario, then forget it).

If Missingno wins the contest, I think the bonus-poll should have every single Pokemon in a free-for-all, plus Missingno, plus Red, Ash, Pokemon Trainer, Brock, Professor Oak, and Shoe from South Park's Chinpokemon-episode. We'll solve everything like that.

I'm willing to bet that just like every Pokemon game, it will be one of the most in demand FAQs, but that would really only benefit Charizard if the match were later than the exact release date.
