Dante's biggest lead then, he better start building something. I wouldn't dismiss his ability to stall Sora during the day. if he has something to cling on to.

Spikes are normal, it's consistency that you gotta watch out for-- Kefka/Vercetti should've learned you on that one.

More like the stuffed votes have dried out and Dante is going to run over Sora now.

And by the way I'd say about now is when we're getting a voting trend shift. Mostly because vote totals on the updates are going up for both sides. During that stall it wasn't really overall votes going up as much as Sora reliably getting +10.

Actually, every single rivalry I have gotten a pic accepted for has lost so far (Vyse, Hitler, Chell, and Phoenix). So something's gotta give here.

The main reason I still think Dante/Vergil have a chance is the geo-trends. Sora/Riku are losing every major region but the US pretty comfortably. Canada in particular is interesting because it has the same time zones we do and doesn't have any real release issues. The US is the main region I'd assume to be influenced by bracket voting since we're eligible for prizes, which matters more in a low votal contest.

Dante vs Axel had Canada favoring Dante by about 3% more than the US-- a far cry from the 6% we're currently seeing. Once bracket votes disperse even more the US may very well normalize a lot closer to 50% than it is now-- one could assume it'd even favor Dante at this point if not for bracket voting.

Damn all fangirls, actually. You want something ruined, get girls to like it.

See: Every single thing girls like right now. Facebook, the Wii, Twilight, the Kindle, modern music and Las Vegas are some perfect examples. Vegas especially is just ruined thanks to those f***ing "what happens here stays here" commercials which had nothing but women in all of them, and music is infected by hipster morons wearing skinny jeans and girls pretending Bellamy is the only talented guitarist in the history of music.

It should also go without complaint that Facebook died the second it stopped requiring a .edu email address.

A couple of things wrong with this reasoning, namely first that Sora/Riku's percentage in the US is going up. Second, there are not that many brackets left that have an actual shot at winning. Thirdly, even in this group (maybe a 2-3000 brackets) Sora/Dante is probably split pretty evenly anyway. It' not like Sora's going to be a huge bracket favorite or anything.

I'm rooting for Dante here, but I'm afraid Sora's got this.

Ouch. Probably variance with Dante snapping back a bit next update but ouch.

And fair enough on most of those points, Barkley, though I think you overestimate the average bracket voter if you think they actually consider chance of winning <_<

Pretty much, I think anyone expecting Yoshi trends will be sorely mistaken, not least because of what you mentioned but the weekend factor as well. However I'd still expect Sora to narrowly win the day vote, to declare Dante favourite I'd want to see a lead of 250-300ish or upwards. as it stands it could wind up being a 50/50 game for most the day, slightly favouring Dante now and slightly favouring Sora later. My rough prediction is Sora to enter the last hour 100 ahead.

Contests really suck these days. Here we have a match that is almost 50-50, but I'm not excited at all. Trends mean this one's over. I wish we didn't have as much knowledge about trends as we do. When all is ssaid and done. Sora-Dante will win this semi-comfortably.

Sora/Riku over Squall/Seifer, given the non-contest history of Seifer, would be a good enough upset to make this contest at least sorta worthwhile.
