Well, I guess technically Catherine made a comeback, but she was only down by 80 votes at the most and took the lead 90 minutes in.

Catherine/Neku could have easily been our number one wire to wire match by far without the rally. I'm still a little miffed about that one.

This is okay too, but I don't really take Travis seriously considering /v/ can probably keep bouncing the little girl ahead.

Well hey, Kratos might end up looking okay here after all. Say what you will about him - and you could say a lot - but his day vote is unimpeachable.

Though then again, Recette dropping like a rock probably makes it look better in this case. Still though.

Kratos has a good day vote because he has one of the worst opening votes for a non-FF character, if not THE worst. He basically has nowhere to go but up.

I'm satisfied with the Travis percentage... if you make the assumption Travis hasn't dropped. Considering he's still fighting tooth and nail to come back against Recette, that's not a sure thing.

Kratos may go on to validate himself next round, but this is still a big question mark for me that raises worse questions for him than better.

Kratos vs Sephiroth, does the board vote just evaporate entirely? ;)

We already saw Sephiroth vs. Kratos in 4-ways and yes, Sephiroth lost the board vote handily.

As long as it's getting bumped enough to be seen, that's probably enough to put on a stall. Most voters aren't going to bother responding.

Missingno is the only Pokemon entrant that's looked bad, right? I think we've gotta give Pokemon some credit here when their only flub is one of the biggest wildcards of the contest. Missingno is like half-Pokemon and half-L-Block, so it's kind of silly to even use its performance to criticize anyone else from the series. Even Magikarp, when assuming a slightly boosted Mega Man, is around 2010 Zack level, which is enough to beat Yuna/Tidus/Rikku.

And yes, Jigglypuff sucked as well, but no one was expecting anything else.

I still don't think barely doubling Sly Cooper is a good performance, but I guess you can hand wave that one away using "We didn't have high expectations for Lugia," too. Mewtwo's performance is completely meaningless as of right now, and so is Red's. Scoring a high percentage isn't necessarily a great performance (like quadrupling Luca Blight).

It was virtually impossible for Pokemon to flub any match in R1, but Missingno still did it. I'm not gonna hold it *that* much against the Pokes because, again, Magikarp impressed. But it's tempered by the fact that Magikarp is a new entrant. Who knows how well it'd have done in 2010, it could have put a legitimate scare into Mega Man for all we know.

Charizard/Riku/Nier is the first 'real' Pokemon match where they can impress or flub, in my view. Pikachu went up against known quantities as well, but based on that match he's either only slightly above Fox or he's hanging on Link's level. Inconclusive.

And remember, with Missingno having solidly disqualified himself in terms of natural strength, we're looking at the title of strongest Pokemon entrant defaulting to Charizard, by far. He's got a s***ton to prove, as that is quite the legacy to carry these days.

Bowser is projected to get 62% on Riku in the 2010 stats, but everything derived from Charizard is sketchy at best, obviously.

I have no idea if we're expecting Charizard > Bowser right now. I like 61%+ as a good marker for him to set, while a doubling would confirm that we're seeing more or less the same Charizard we saw at the end of last year.

That might seem like a bit much, but remember, Riku ain't as good as he looks at a glance. He goes through Cloud/Falcon.

Ryu/Riku is expected to be a 58/42 match, so anything above 60% would be a good performance IMO. (or a KH drop)

Lugia isn't Gen 1. Plus, how can you say Lugia wasn't that impressive when she (he?) outdid our Oracle predictions by over 9%? That's one of the biggest percentage overperformances of the whole contest so far! Outdoing our own expectations like that is usually a good sign. If Lugia didn't impress, then neither did the likes of Tifa or Mega Man X.
