There are plenty of times when it's not clear who will win even when one character has a large lead. With matches like this one, if one character were to surpass a lead of 300 it would pretty much be over.

And I honestly have no idea who wins right now. Ryu should have pulled away by now if it were following the trends we expected.

Yeah, the hockey game and earthquake likely nullify whatever disadvantage Dante may have from the picture.

I don't think anyone can say for sure. It'd be really helpful if the continent/country trackers would also tell you how many votes had came in from that region!

But the point is that the hockey fanbase has to disproportionately support one over the other! Which character is more likely to have hockey fans?

Dante's probably very close to Ryu in North America outside of Canada and California.

You guys act as if people in the USA aren't all going to be watching the game too.

I guess the 1-5% of the North American vote from Latin American isn't, but that's a really small percentage.

In four updates it's gone from "Ryu looking good to cut Dante's lead to 0 without even needing Asia and Europe to sleep" to "Dante pulling out the biggest lead of the match".

Luckily, California is probably the state that cares least about hockey. Still, this is just the break Dante needed. If he can't win in these circumstances, he's a bonafide choker in 1v1. Two choked losses without a big win is enough.

It's a gold medal game against a rival country on a Sunday. Don't be surprised if this is one of the most viewed sporting events of the year.

It will be the most viewed TV event in Canadian history. Hopefully it'll be pretty big in the US too.
