GameFAQs Contests

3 out of 4 people that come here are American anyway.

Tina's actually winning the US vote.

That statement would be correct if you said "North America" instead of "American". Only about 62% of the votes are from the US. About another 10% is from Canada, about 1% from Mexico, and 2% from other North American countries.

Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ!

If Tharja is going to pull through it will likely be because she's still winning pretty easily in Canada.

Go Canucks.

Tharja's current strengths right now:

Canada, Mexico, Europe (excluding the UK), South America, Asia, and Australia.

Of course, if Tharja manages to get the morning vote in the US, she will definitely hold on. She's probably screwed if Tiny Tina gains a lot of percentage in the US during the morning vote.

I would love Tina managing the comeback, even though I have Tharja winning. Everyone instantly dismissed Tina as an obvious last in this match, so her actually winning would completely screw over all brackets and Expert challengers.

Tina for last was always as illogical as Chie for last, some people just seem to make their selections on popular opinion instead of considering any sort of logic or past poll results in what they're doing. There was no actual reason to think Juliet would do anything and it was just people flipping their **** over TJF and this supposed "middle factor"

Smurf, the cream of Sonic fanboyism

I can't speak for anyone else about this, but I haven't played BL2 yet and all the info I got was that Tina wasn't amazingly liked (I regretted this a bit when I actually researched her last night before the match and found she was hilarious) and knew there was a lot of pop for Juliet and her game, even if it didn't sell that well.

To be fair we are talking about the difference of expectations of maybe 2000 votes. Hard to get a read on that sometimes.
---
Death is not to be feared, but avoidance never hurt anyone.

Tharja's dropped 45 votes in 20 minutes. She needs to stabilise if she wants to win.
---

Abound with so much information

Wouldn't mind Tina making a match of this, even though I have Tharja.

Tina's pretty popular. She does have haters though. Just like Tharja!

Also, there seems to be a trend of big cuts followed by long periods of stalling or regaining. I imagine one way or the other, that will change soon.

Just caught up on the thread, and... Ahahahahahaha.

If Tina comes back, I'm going to laugh so f***ing hard at everyone who didn't bank on this.

Face is a joke character present for one quest. I don't think you need to worry about him beating Yuri.

At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza

Doesn't he kinda look like the guys on the cover of the games though?

It's less about him and more about BL2 strength and Tales weakness.

Yeah, he looks like a generic psycho from the game. Maybe that'll help him, I dunno.

Past hour Tina has managed a 16 vote cut. Previous hour Tharja had a 9 vote gain. Tharja has been gaining for the past 15 minutes however.

Wow, I knew this match was gonna be weird. I banked.

Good to see something interesting! I always prefer interesting over predictable in these things.
---
And then the car wash cost five dollars.

It's much more fun to root for the character doing the comeback (remember Red vs Ocelot early last CB) but while I haven't played any of the games here (though I have played other Fire Emblem games) I have Tharja winning so go stalling.

Tina needs to average 4.7 votes cut per update to win from here on. Unless she gets a great morning vote, Tharja should be fine.

Go Tina, rather get -2 than -6.

And a 30 vote cut.

Oh my god I wake up and Tina is going to win this. I am so sad

Amazing match.And the strange thing is that everyone had Tina last and she can win!

I'm pretty sure with this level of fodder nobody would have been surprised with any result though.

That being said YES CLOSE MATCH. Finally one where it looks like every character is between 30 and 40 percent

Bit too soon to say going to win.

Still, THE TENSION.

If Tharja can get a few good updates, she's got this. Also Juliet is sinking now.

If the Oracle is any indication, Tina had roughly 2.5% support.

Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time

I have Tharja in my regular bracket but I have Tiny Tara > Tharja > Juliet in my expert bracket. Speaking of which, how do you view the leaderboard?

LOL Fire Emblem.

Only 4 gurus picked Tiny Tina.

Go to poll results and then character battle home.Select view leaderboards.Scroll down to see how many people had each match correct predict.

Too many cuts.

Should have seen this coming. I knew it would be a close match, and when it comes down to it, where on earth do you go to rally a Fire Emblem game? Borderlands is a lot easier to find support for, it has that mainstream appeal, and that's what's going to give the small edge it needed when all is said and done.

Wonder what the prediction percentage will be like. I have a feeling casuals will be pretty accurate here in supporting Tina.
