Guys, seriously. A few hours ago everyone was all "Tharja's got this". What happened? Things change, don't call matches prematurely. Now if Tina builds a 100 vote lead, that's a lock. Until then, let's not make hasty calls.


Smart man.


Thank you.

Also I think everyone in this match was substantially stronger than Isaac so there's that. I've got Chrom and am feeling good about it. The Boss isn't great, and before he was in Smash Bros. Ike went neck and neck with Gordon Freeman.

I guess I'll be the odd one, but I think that Lucina could win her match with relative ease.

Chrom on the other hand is doomed...nintenDOOOOMED


Why, Castlevania did very well in the series contest and he happens to be the most recognizable character from it and OUTSIDE of it.

Call me crazy, depending on his performance, i might take him over Barret.


Because Castlevania hasn't been relevant for a while, and, unlike Tharja, whom half the FE:A forum hates and the other half loves it, people seems to be ok with Lucina.

Then again, I'm from Europe (Spain to be exact) and we love our Fire Emblem. Had the Lucina v Dracula v Caim been a night match, I belive that Lucina would beat up the competition badly.

Of course this is only speculation, but still It's what I belive, I did not enter any bracket because I usually enjoy watching other people debating about the matches and "X totally got this!" than actually competing, but the mere fact that people were believing that the Chainsaw Girl (whom I never heard of before) was going to win made me chuckle more than once. I though she was insta-third.

long story short, this match had me satisfied and I hope and believe that Lucina v Dracula could satisfy me again. Hero v Rinoa for 2nd place can be a fun one too, I'm going for Rinoa for 2nd on that one, SSF considered too.

And remember, I'm from Europe, I percieve things in a...european-esque way, so don't quote me if Dracula ends up drinking all of Lucina's blood.

Alucard has one of the strongest night votes in the whole field. A day match is probably better for Lucina to be honest.

That's because he's the main character of the, for the most part, regarded as the best Castlevania game.

If it was Lucina vs Alucard, I would say Alucard would win, but Dracula is not Alucard. So I would not go with him.

I changed my bracket in the last minute (literally) before this match started, and did Aeris -> Hero -> Rinoa. Hopefully it stays like this.

I think I'll be better off just picking who comes in 1st place for iffy matches.

If Hero comes in 2nd this will be my second consecutive 0 point match, and effectively stay at 24 points out of a possible 36.

I suspected this might happen. Not because anyone actually knows who Hero is, but because Aeris and Rinoa are basically the same character and it's an easy to dislike character. Hero could get 20% just on anti-votes

This.

Seriously, a generic dude from a fairly niche game?! I'm waiting for the ASV to sort things out.
