...Auron had an action figure pic?


Just about to say that. I know Dante has had one though!

I'm pretty sure Sephy's gotten an action figure before. Against Mario in 2005, maybe?

2005 had some awesome pictures. Like this one, which characterizes the struggle between Clinkeroth and the rest of the field so well:

I've got this weird and stupid feeling that Dante will make a push with the SNV. It's just way too quiet around here.

There are 3 updates where the lead was at 158, but only 2 updates where both characters got 50.00% of the votes. That's what I meant by 2 ties in a row.

Big cut for Dante there.
How is he keeping this so close, he's getting killed in the Americas?

Yurop is the only thing keeping this close for Dante. Pretty surprising, I'd expect Dante to be more popular in America than Ryu.

Europe has almost no votes right now. Why isn't Ryu getting around 52% constantly now. Is the American Sunday night vote somehow supporting Dante more than America did earlier?
-LusterSoldier- | Posted 2/28/2010 5:52:16 PM | message detail
Pretty surprising, I'd expect Dante to be more popular in America than Ryu.

Yeah, Ryu's day vote is horrible, at least that we've seen in the past when Ryu has a weekday match. Remember that he lost the day vote to L-Block in round 1 of 2008.

Demyx is better than Axel.
TheOneAboveAll | Posted 2/28/2010 5:55:52 PM | message detail
That was mostly due to a small Ryu spike and Dante drop happening simultaneously. I think the rest of this should be just as close as it's been so far.

It's official: Dante's a choker.

Dante was in the lead, but Ryu held strong. Then the Olympics Hockey between US/Canada started. During the game, Dante gained, and during the breaks, Ryu gained. When it was over, Ryu took the lead and hasn't looked back since.
