Well, its not like they'll fall THAT much from here. Smash has a great board vote too. Maybe it'll go down to 75 or 74% but no further.

It could, but breaking 70% is still impressive here.

So this match is pretty much proving that having a worthwhile #2 is really important.

It also helps the whole rivalry factor cause.


Eh, I'm not feeling rivalry factor from this. If it were rivalry factor Sonic/Robotnik would have done way better.

Also 80% BARRIER SET.

Nope. This is my third contest. Nice assumption, though.

Ah. A solid "nope" to that, too. Though I can tell now you were just being sarcastic. I apologize for not recognizing it earlier :P

Ten minute thoughts: man, X and Zero really might be top four material. I wouldn't take MM Classic's team over em (Wily drops that ball bigtime), and I'd take them to beat Sonic, Samus, and Crono pretty easily. The Snakes are all that stand in their way, and Liquid is definitely the weakest of the four SO

Seeing X/Zero do so well reminds me of why I'm not all that pumped for this contest. More wasted potential right here.

There's potential in the rivalries that are in the bracket, but they're not put in positions to take advantage of it.

Seriously though... like, what the hell is this? X/Zero don't really have a pic advantage or anything, Smash should have a decent board vote, and Falcon looked much better these past few years.

The only explanation I can think of: the rivalry factor is quite a bit stronger than I was expecting. We might be in for a good, crazy contest after all.

And then I would wholeheartedly agree

So are people not caring about the battle scores or is there a bug?

Also while the leaderboard says 1000 my pick page has 300 because it doesn't show my first few picks (though I guess it's in the system somewhere)

I'd guess it's a bug, since it's showing 5000+ people that have 600 banked points, while picks by battle only has 107 people banking on Sonic/Katherines.

Europe probably has something like 20 votes, but seeing the match being in the low 60s while the overall is in the low 80s is quite funny.

Also what the f***, I was just looking at the results and I noticed it was the Edgeworth/Phoenix banner. I was like "ha, Edgeworth's sprite is so cool"

then I refreshed the page and Edgeworth was suddenly replaced with BOWSER.

I pooed a little.

Well, we saw Kirby/Meta Knight drop nearly 10% after the first hour. We'll see where X/Zero finish when everything's settled, but I think they should be able to hold on to the tripling if they're still above 80% by the end of the first hour.

Funny thing is that Captain Falcon and his partner NO ONE won the board vote. How does possibly the weakest Smash team one can possibly assemble STILL win the board vote against MEGA MAN
