yeah this is done once he fully get out of the board vote


Yeah, once all of Riku's bracket support is gone, Falcon will wreck him.

Oh, and to head off the already silly comments, this has nothing to do with Sora. RIku's been looking weak for a while now.

So both struggling with Laharl/Ramza means nothing?

In a night match? Nope. Falcon always had a big chance to win here, I have no idea why some of you guys seems surprised.

Falcon still doesn't have this won. At all. That last update was brutal for him. He went from a huge gain to a... 20 vote gain.

Board vote will be completely gone soon and Riku will start owning.

It amazes me how Riku can be such an overwhelming favorite when new Square, and especially Kingdom Hearts, has given such subpar performances all contest. Sure, Falcon is a low midcarder who got 71% on Wander, but Riku got 10% less on Ramza. Fodder is fodder, and just because Wander is worse fodder than Ramza does not make up for a 10% gap between Riku and Falcon's performances.

And to think, Sora will still be the heavy favorite against Bowser even after such an underwhelming performance against Laharl.

Don't want to go through Laharl because you think he boosted, even though Yoshi, Kirby, and Dante have all about tripled him over the last three years?

Fine. Neku. 28.17% on Sora going through Laharl. Guess what he got on Ganondorf last year? 22.05%. That's gives Sora 39% on Ganondorf. That's pathetic.

Sora is Mr. Clutch. Riku looked bad last year and Sora still came out smelling like roses.

I'm not terribly surprised Falcon is winning, but him winning with 55% is surprising me. I figured this would be a very close match that either of the two could win.

Riku is winning in Europe and doing worse in North America.

Also Canada loves Captain Falcon so far.

Probably, if you think Falcon is stronger than Ridley.

Yeah, this is a pretty fun upset, although I probably wouldn't find it as fun if it actually affected my chances. As it is, it makes me feel a bit better about Ryu, and I still think Sora can pull it off against Bowser.

You spend more time in this topic whining about characters you don't like winning and people rooting for joke characters than contributing anything relevant.

God forbid someone's happy when a character they like is doing well, especially in a match that character was expected to lose!
