Looking at the final results, Roxas ended up above 40% in the U.S., but he still did worse in North America relative to the final result, which is kinda strange.

Tidus has been in all of the contests since 2002 and he has never been to the 3rd round.

Jecht made it to the 3rd round in his first contest appearance.

That's Jecht, baby. That's Jecht.

I think he'll avoid the doubling against Zelda too (albeit not by much).

Who does better against Zelda - Ezio or Jecht?

Yeah, that doesn't seem to quite be consistent with the ASV domination. I wonder how that works.

Don't forget before the ASV, Roxas was only around 35% in US. His US vote among older people is just really bad, I guess.

I still think Dante's going to beat Ryu rather easily at this point, even with the DMC2 pic.

As a side note, I think it's pretty annoying when people try to sabotage close matches by intentionally making a bad pic for one of the characters.

Roxas went from being weighed down in US to being average, that sounds like a pretty good ASV (especially when you consider that he must have put up higher numbers during the ASV to bring up that percent).

Captain Falcon is still glorified fodder and always will be. He got tripled by Crono. Riku is a mid-carder. Riku is a lock to win and I will bet with anyone who dares to bet against me.

This has nothing to do with trends. KH's final results are almost always more favorable for them in North America than they are compared to everywhere else. That's all I'm saying. I completely understand how far Roxas came down from with the ASV, but that doesn't really have anything to do with what I'm saying.

Also what do you think a Ridley/Marth match would look like?

I'm throwing this idea around in my head where the NPCs in Dissidia got a more visible boost than the other characters and this allows Sephiroth > Cloud to have a chance!!!

Well it's a cause/effect thing. Normally we think of good US vote causing a good day vote, and good European equaling good overnight vote, and so on. Here the day vote improved his US vote.

Ah that's better.

I don't know, I don't really have a problem with "sabotage" pics - unless they go against my guy of course :)

I'd blame Bacon more for choosing a bad picture, than the guy who submitted it.

See, in a match like that, I don't really care because there's virtually no way Sonic loses, even with a Werehog pic.
