As someone who picked Kirby next round, even I didn't expect him to do this well.. I thought like 62-63%. It may still drop down to there, but he's looking great.

Impressive performance.

So would this give credence to the idea that "rivalries matter?"

Because there's no way Kirby doubles Jill 1-on-1.

Man, why did I lower my Oracle so much. I put my calculations in and got something like 61-63%, realized it was a night match, but lowered it all the way to 57% cause I thought the numbers were too high.

Well, I suppose it's time for me to face the truth. RE3 (the one this rivalry stems from), while popular among the fanbase, is still a terribly weak game. Remember how disappointing RE2 was back in 2009? Yeah, RE2 would wreck RE3. Kirby/Meta Knight may simply be making people think about Melee/Brawl.

And Melee/Brawl would more than double any old school RE game.

It's only 5 minutes into the match. Jill/Nemesis will almost assuredly make up some ground overnight. I fully expect Kirby to win, but I doubt this is going to be anywhere near a doubling by the time the morning vote hits.

Yeah, Kirby's got some freefalling to do before we're done here, but he's probably going to land north of 60%, which is really good.

"Less popular" =/= "Less played"

But this doesn't mean people will magically care about Red/Blue more regardless.

Damn, great second update for Kirby.

Also, if anything, this makes Ryu/Ken > Trainers look more likely, IMO. The SF duo should benefit more from the rivalry factor than just about anyone else.

I don't think you can really use the "low playrate" argument for Street Fighter 2. Thats one of those games nearly everyone has played before too.

Wait why would a significant amount of people that have played RBY but not Street Fighter vote Ryu > Red then see this is as a rivalry contest and switch to Red/Blue > Ryu/Ken?
