TJF claims two more victims!

I have a feeling I am going to regret a few other first round matches.

So when I went to bed Tina was down by over 400 votes

You know what's fun?

Reading all the posts from when the match began and seeing all the "Tharja wins" posts end up being wrong.

Okay the max lead was around 430 votes.Would anyone expect that Tiny Tina not only would cover it but win by around 200-300 votes?No way.

This match is rapidly catching up to the Link match in vote totals. At one point, this match was 669 votes behind the Link match and that was at 4:25 AM. We're 224 votes behind the Link match. I didn't think a match with 3 fodder characters would be able to get more votes than a match with Link in it.

i still do not expect her to win by 200-300. maybe that's just wishful thinking that Tharja can stay in the match here.

This might be the only match in this contest where the character that's in third at the freeze goes on to win. Pretty cool.

Yeah, I don't see her getting that far ahead.

You would think that any lead at 100 ish or under in the last hour for either character would be uncomfortable due to potential rallying.

Yeah, Tina one is the only one that seemed effective though.

4chan /v/ would seem a lot more effective for Tharja. Though she is picking up a bit of steam right now(don't know if a rally has anything to do with it).

I didn't think a match with 3 fodder characters would be able to get more votes than a match with Link in it.


This match also strikes me as having more diversified of a voting pool. You got the handheld JRPG character form Nintendo, an action heroine on the PS3 and 360 with a cult following, and an Western FPS/RPG character that's multiplatform.

Meanwhile, our first match is essentially putting two of it's three eggs in the same basket with Link and Tingle.

i honestly just think the Link match was because it was first and people had forgotten about these contests. now we're back in the swing of it.

hold it again tomorrow and it gets more votes.
