Or that just means LOL Ganon.

Honestly, I'm thinking Sonic probably wins pretty easily against Ganon and Kirby at this point.

Just about everyone got killed on this one. We lose the remaining -5s and half of the -6s. The damage isn't quite as bad as Master Chief's win but it's worse than Vivi. Those with higher scores managed to do a bit better than those with lower scores. The higher tiers had around the mid-30s for prediction percentage but that falls to below 20 when you go down a few tiers.

Jill is probably better at the night vote than Prince would be my guess.

Samus has always been a lot better in North America than anywhere else. I think her sales corroborate that too (the Prime series has had laughably bad sales there).

18% picked Charizard? Oh my god I can't wait til he beats Sora.


54% on a Kratos that flopped against Tails is a poor performance. The winner of Sora/Bowser will crush Charizard. He has no chance

forgive my insolence master

Oh, and Kratos even lost the SNV to Charizard? Pathetic by him.

I wonder if Charizard is the favorite to take the ASV (or Sunday afternoon vote, which should be similar) over Sora now. That's not something we would've expected - something that could out-trend Sora during the ASV.

I just realized what the D in Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's stands for....Don't watch it!

If Jill is favored in Japan, and is keeping it close in Europe, I can only imagine what Cloud will do. It's a night match, and both of those love FF. It might not be close at all. At leat 55% from Cloud.

"Here I go! Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia

Ah, ok. Thanks.

Heh, that should be a sticky. At least I won't have to ask again!

I doubt Charizard beats Sora at the ASV. Only Melee and Halo were really at KH's level in the Games Contest, with RBY having an ASV that was about average for post-SNES Nintendo and GS having an above average one. But it shouldn't be a big handicap for Charizard, it probably won't help Sora by more than a little bit.

Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 2: Yoshi

Or that just means LOL Ganon.

It's most likely that the boost is reaching Wesker and Chris more, but I'm thinking a little bit this. Link hasn't exactly impressed so far compared to expectations, right? I'll keep my eye on Zelda. It would be weird though after OoT winning BGE2.

Hmm... assuming nothing strange happens until then, I can miss Ryu/Dante and stay on the leaderboard. I wonder if I can miss that one along with the Missingno match (which is inevitable) and still maintain a leaderboard spot.

I'd have thought any talk of Charizard > Sora would've died out after last match. Did anyone have Kratos > Sora? Did anyone even think Kratos would break 40% on Sora?

From: LeonhartFour | #1352
Nah, Kratos's day vote is overrated. He got that reputation from facing Alucard and Ryu.

And Sora went even with Tingle I think. Monster day vote swings tend to come against weak day vote competition, otherwise they wouldn't turn into monster swings.

I really don't know who wins the ASV (or Sunday afternoon vote) between Sora and Charizard. It'll be interesting to see, if Sora beats Bowser.

Mizno folks are only going to +3 on regular folks, so I don't think Missingo. winning would have a huge effect. If it beats Sephiroth, the +7 starts being pretty significant, though...

I think Riku's still the favorite. Captain Falcon's performance against Wander didn't really do anything to change that, even after Riku's unimpressive performance against Ramza.

Man, have we ever seen a losing character win so many countries? Charizard won like the top 4 vote-getting regions (US, Canada, UK, and Australia, though I don't know if Australia is top 4 or not), and Kratos dominated everywhere else, looks like.
---
"So cold. I am always by your side."
"There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!"

I'm liking these small inside-the-Power-Hour cuts. If Jill rolls with the night vote, this could still end up decent. I hope Samus really fries Subzy so Jill can still come out of this with an impressive looking contest.

From: KamikazePotato | #289

That one has been worrying me a bit; the way Axel got so manhandled is a bit disconcerting. Either Dante is turning into Samus's protege or the non-Sora KH guys have really lost a step.

The break even point is 38.3% but I'd definitely go higher for Ramza. Wander sucks.
