Also remember Bayonetta's vote-in result was before her game came out.


And Lightning likely did better than she ever will again in a contest match prior to her game coming out.

Hype does things like that.

The point is if you look at any poll, Bayonetta never does well. I don't understand why people think she'll suddenly do well in THIS poll.


Because her opponents are also complete and utter s***. Hell, this is probably the most fodderific match so far.

It's hilarious that right after a match with three characters with actual strength, we get a match with three incredibly weak characters.

I'm rooting for a draw. I'm really curious to see what happens if it ends with a draw.

Imagine if we got a 4-way match in round 2.

The match just keeps updating until someone is on top.

And Alucard cuts by 10. Back to 40.


It's not a cut if he is already in the lead.

Clicking the top link from Zen was fitting for this update.


What's the word for that then? Sorry I'm not a native English speaker.

Is that really an official Bloody Tears version from SOTN?

Doesn't sound like it

What sucks about this match is that now that things are close between Alucard and Falcon, all the rallying is sending Rydia's percentage down like a rock.

Well I mean I'm not arguing Bayonetta will be even remotely strong. Hell, replace Wander with Rydia and I consider taking Rydia to put up Top-Tier numbers. It's just that she has something arguably resembling strength, which is far, far more than can be said about a character who got stomped by a pure Fire Emblem side character.

It's the classic wrestling setup. The two big dogs get so caught fighting each other, that they're totally unprepared when the forgotten third wheel rolls one of them up for the victory.

Well, Falcon would be screwed, at least.

Eighty two minutes to make up two-thousand votes? Does everyone who voted get their votes back? Because I don't think there's enough of an untapped voting pool left for Link to make up that 2k this quick.

Results page (mobile version anyway) has Falcon pointing directly at Alucard. Maybe its a psychological thing, people see that and think Falcon wants them to vote Alucard.

Or not. Does look a bit like it though.
