Falcon needs a solid lead during the Power Hour I think. Can't see Alucard failing to beat him during the Europe vote.

The point is well-taken, but bracketers should have a *lot* more influence on the first update compared to then, given that the votals have dipped so low.

Yeah Alucard needs to stall this out a bit or else the night vote isn't even going to matter.

Same here :D

I had Alucard in my bracket but I voted for Falcon because I like him better.

Same logic with Crono/Magus/Frog...I'm going to vote for all of them but I have Pikachu winning that bracket. If any of them win I'll be happy enough to offset the bracket pain ^_^

well at least if i miss this i no picked second and third. thought Rydia would be more of a threat to Falcon than Falcon to Alucard.

I though that might happen.

But I also thought Vercetti would drag Crash down...

Rydia....Uhh, Put Alucard on a Table and neckbreaker him

Oh SuperNiceDog's doing it again dude.

#486 | KanzarisKelshen | Posted 7/22/2013 9:15:07 PM | message detail
Note that if we see a 20 to 30 vote surge on the next update, that's nothing to worry about...yet, at least. That's common after a stall, since it's like the voters concentrate on one update and the other one either sees a drop for one character or a gain for the other. Now let's hope the Son of Dracula can keep this close!
#487 | ctesjbuvf | Posted 7/22/2013 9:15:20 PM | message detail
If Falcon can't get a bigger lead soon, Alucard wins with the night vote. Unless Falcon somehow gets an amazing morning vote.

I'm ready to call this for Alucard. If it's this close during the power hour, Falcon is in for a world of hurting once the kiddies go to bed.

Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite?
However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog

Sorry, Alucard doesn't rush people so he can't get Thesz Pressed! Alucard Sword teleport attacks too OP here

I still wouldn't wanna have Alucard in this match. Falcon's still probably got some acceleration to gain as we break away from the more bracket-focused crowd. But hey, if nothing else, hopefully we've got a match.

Yeah, Falcons got this. Even if Alucard does take the lead overnight, Falcon should be able to claim it back with the morning vote.
#496 | Lopen | Posted 7/22/2013 9:18:35 PM | message detail
Honestly Rydia's probably hurting Falcon more than Alucard here if she's hurting anyone. Rydia has very little impact on this.
