It's only a 34 vote lead after the first 2 minutes.

Crono's got dis.

I feel like the freezes have been letting me down lately.

Chances are they don't budge much from this now

I don't know guys, Magus was really rising towards the end there. I think he could make this a match.

Not panicking yet. Pikachu is going to drop from there. I'm more worried about Crono and Magus. Magus can't stay that bad...

...

can he?

One way or another, I feel there will be a significant change next update.

I'd say this is a good start for Crono, considering how low Magus is.

SuperNiceDog is also a SuperSmartDog.

Should've froze with magus at 0 votes imo

The mandatory early freeze...
Next update should be amusing though, Magus might rise to 10% !
#362 | Nanis23 | Posted 8/26/2013 9:04:11 AM | message detail
I expected more from Pikachu pre-freeze to be honest
But it's not like Squirtle crushed yesterday...Lugia did
We shall see
#363 | FranzyvonKarma | Posted 8/26/2013 9:04:21 AM | message detail
Matches like this put it in perspective.

L-Block had bigger leads on Snake in about 10 seconds when Snake was well over 20% than Pikachu has over Magus with Pika above 50% and Magus at 8%.

#364 | KamikazePotato | Posted 8/26/2013 9:04:37 AM | message detail
Pikachu is going to extend his lead next update no matter what - the freeze took place before the board vote was finished. The third update is the real clincher, I think.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
#365 | tgs2 | Posted 8/26/2013 9:04:45 AM | message detail
Pikachu will be winning now, but Sora will be the one laughing all the way to the final 9.
#366 | red sox 777 | Posted 8/26/2013 9:04:57 AM | message detail
Bad early freeze. This makes this next update way too nervewracking. Pikachu could put it away with one update.

Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick
your 7 time champion, Link.

So was Crono. Chrono Trigger duo going 1-2 here!

Yeah, the second/third updates will tell a lot more about this match than the upcoming one, in regards to Crono's chances. This first update is basically the board vote update.

On the bright side, Pikachu has brackets and Crono consistently loses the board vote to Nintendo (except for Missingno).

nor did paulg screw VV. Vincent Valentine screwed Vincent Valentine.

Darn, all of Pikachu's percentage loss went to Magus.

Of note Crono's worst % wise last round was at the first freeze (what this essentially was)

Like everyone said: next update is when it starts mattering.

This is ridiculous. We could actually end with Frog>Crono. This better just be the board vote ending and Crono better start rising soon. But it seems so unlikely that he can make this up during the day.

Seriously gotta take Pikachu well under 50% to say that you lost because of Magus, Crono!

I don't really think it's a question that Crono is going to look better when this over!

Not really
Some of Magus votes can go to Pikachu
20% at max but still!

Crono should get better as the day progresses into night. With perhaps a small snapback around 3 PM for the last vestiges of the ASV.

This. If this result holds, the Noble Nine is truly dead. It was never just about the streak, it was about characters and their contest dominance. Now, though, it's truly over.
