Now, KH informs us that the MGS SNV sucks. He's the expert on MGS, and Square's SNV is always good, so I'll trust that Vivi's is better at least than the MGS crew.

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

That's not what I meant, and you're thinking too small. Wrex could end up winning...THE DIVISION. The sky's the limit when you've got a spaceship.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

And Vivi breaks the 200 barrier. There's a beautiful run of positive variance.

There is no concept of "favorites" now. Pandora's Box has been opened and chaos will now reign supreme.

Mario could still win this. He just needs half hour with no rallying.

Some voter decline some due to polls only being 12 hours. To be fair these polls would be getting around 50-70k if they went 24 so it's not quite as bad as it looks.

based off Rivalry Rumble, don't expect anything significantly above 50k for non-rallied matches

*comes back a few hours later and checks the results*

NO WAY. Vivi's still in this. I just hope he's not getting stuffed. If Mario takes 95% of Ganondorf's votes, Vivi still gets 42.5% on Mario.... It looks Vivi has gained a little bit in North America.

If we had known that Ridley's performance on Cloud may have been LEGIT, and then extrapolating Zidane's R1 victory over Ridley, maybe predicting this could have been almost feasible. =p

What percentage of the brackets have Vivi winning? 5%, maybe?

On the subject of Pokémon, they best not oversaturate the bracket in the future, or else they'll likely start suffering anti-votes. Again.

Hey, don't fret yet. Maybe Mega Man has gotten a huge Brawl boost and will do something awesome.

Ill go ahead and say this now. There are no more favorites to win anything anymore.

There are only targets now.

this is far more disappointing in hindsight
after the round we've had, I'm pretty sure Magikarp wins a rematch tomorrow.

You would think Mega Man fans would have no problem with a Magikarp/Zero/Charizard division final rather than Mega Man/Zero/Charizard!

Then again, these are the people who doomed Mega Man against the Cube just so they could barely put Zero over the Mario-slayer here.

The powers that be value ad space and money, not poll votes.

They only do the contests for traffic influx, adding polls to each page would not help this.

It sucks, but your petition is completely hopeless.

If the contests got more popular on gamefaqs, it's likely it'll reach a lot more users that frequent other sites.

And thus contests can bring in new hits if they're advertised more

Taking a brief pause from this match, is everyone ready to see Missingno jump out to a big lead tonight? He led Sephiroth by 213 after 5 minutes.

Considering it's Squall vs. Missingno, wouldn't "The Legendary Beast" be more appropriate?
