votes getting split, this is why rallies don't work unless there's clear agreement on one character. Usually out of every 5 votes you'd have 4 for the rally target and 1 a troll vote against. Here you've got 2 for Wario, 2 for Wrex and 1 a troll vote for Red and it's just doing nothing but inflate the votals.

How the hell is Wario beating Wrex?

Red is almost at 50% anyway
Even if all those votes went for Wrex it still wouldn't be enough

Im really surprised that such a random match got a rally,though
It seems like every match is going to have one now?

Jill>Mega Man here we go

Wario is popular there, Waluigi had the same attempt. Neither were very organised or well done.

(SECOND PLACE) LEAD CHANGE

Lead is almost at 1000
Im wasting my time here,doesn't look Red is going to be in danger

RIP

Gotta finish my speedrun practice so I can rally for Wario next year.

Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords.
With what? ROT-13? -CJayC

So the third spot in the finals is basically going to be L-Block or Samus correct?
Unless Mega Man can beat Charizard

Rikku > Zero could happen

Maybe.

Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner

So really "anti-vote Nintendo" is their only reason for boosting Wrex?

Good show, Red. I'm going to pretend he's Crono for a while.

Missingno did really well with the morning, Squall ended up considerably below Sephiroth's percentage while the projection had him above Sephiroth most of the night. But Squall wins. Vivi won't fold after beating Mario, so Red should be able to go through next round.

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

Not really anti-voting, they think Wrex winning would make us whine.

Pretty impressive from Red, I think. He should get past Squall/Vivi no problem.

tune in tokyo 142.94

Aw, looks like my suspicion of Wrex not doing so hot today comes to fruition, which I hoped wouldn't be the case after Shepard/Aeris no longer looked like anything impressive. Unfortunate.

...but I'm almost as surprised at Red. Failing to double Wario isn't good at all. :/

man I hope red can beat charizard. I'd rather see red in the finals.

unless squirtle is in the finals, then we can lay to rest the fact that water starters are the best

Zack also had to deal with Cecil! More importantly you'd think Wario should be folding to Nintendo hard like he always does. Fox got the doubling!

I still hold out hope that Vivi can pull out a miracle next round, but Red is looking a little too good here.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

Pokemon's almost independent of Nintendo though. Plus there were some rally attempts that are probably artificially inflating Wario/Wrex still.

Can't see Red beating actual Pokemon. He's not nearly as popular as they are.

Meanwhile grass starter master race (except for chikorita) requires no contest to prove their undisputed position as the best.

Red's path is pretty set in stone anyway due to the last match - skate by the Vivi/Squall split, cost Charizard the match against L/Samus - but I'm just speaking to overall expectations. He certainly doesn't look nearly as impressive as the actual Pokemon.

KH you've just doomed us to Red getting 50%+ on Vivi/Squall.

~War~

The intangibles are in Red's favor next round. The Ninty fanbase is going to be out for blood after Mario's loss. And Link's loss too, they're going to be seething with rage. When they see not one but TWO Final Fantasy characters in a poll, they're going to burst into an apoplectic fit. And then they will vote for Red.

Red can overperform due to vacuum theory, but it wouldn't mean that he's suddenly stronger than Mario or anything. His actual results are still set in stone, and I personally am just a little underwhelmed.

If only R3 was the Sprite Round. They could still get sprites for match pics though I guess.

Yeah, round 3 and beyond is freeform pictures, so you could use sprites if you wanted to.

Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ!

This result honestly isn't much worse than what I think Squall would do if you put him here, so Red seems like a show-in to win next round.

BUT, who knows. Vivi beat Mario. I think counting him out at this point, however low the odds, wouldn't be wise.
---
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

Yeah, Red should put a good number on the Final Fantasy duo. Think Charizard depends on if Pokemon starts picking up steam, or rallies, or something. Could see him beating Samus even with Red if that happens. Samus seems alright otherwise, but who knows.

Now that L Block won do you think we'll see pic sabotage for Samus like we did for Vincent and will be seeing soon for Zelda?

But maybe im talking nonsense so if someone can post a deeper analysys of how Uprising helped Pit (if at all) it can be great

For as good of a game as Kid Icarus: Uprising is, it didn't help him much. No games from 2012 seemed to help any character's strength, barring probably Commander Shepard. Otherwise, no character seemed to get much from last year. It didn't matter if they were contest veterans (Playstation All-Stars, Final Fantasy 13-2, Halo 4, Borderlands 2) or newcomers (BL2 again, Xenoblade, The Walking Dead, Persona Golden + Arena, Dishonored, Far Cry 3, Gravity Rush)...who gained from 2012? Mass Effect 3 is the only possible exception.

Nominations were likely more affected by 2012-releases than their strengths -- it'd explain how so many characters from these games got in or got a higher seed. It might also explain why Chris Redfield and Diablo were snubbed this year...!

Samus/Charizard is probably like 57/43 naturally for Samus. With Red, LFF is going to make it at least 60/40, so Charizard needs one amazing bandwagon/rally to win that.
---
Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick

I'm thinking people could be underestimating the strength of Red (and possibly Blue as well) - I know we have little to go on, but I just have a feeling that they could surprise in later rounds. If nothing else, a sprite round will help them!

Can't believe Vivi, wow. And Squall, good to see him pull it out.

So, L-Block is the biggest threat to Samus now. And L > Samus is Charizard's best hope for reaching the final, because L has variable strength and the site might choose Charizard as its champion instead.

I for one can't wait to see 15 year old Other M Samus 'grace' us with her presence

L/Red/Charizard will pretty much be a lock for L. Samus still won't lose even if Pokemon gets bandwagoned, because the bandwagon will be sundered by Red. She needs something... more intrinsic and perhaps diabolical to happen to her.

Her fanbase's fickleness needs to prove true and come to the fore. And then abandon her for some Pokeymanz

Or L-Block could just fold like Missingno did.

Glad THAT glitch got put away, even if it did cost me a bracket point (which I only did because Squall struck me as the worst possible character pre-contest for taking down Missingno).

So I guess Cecil and Pit just suck

This is quite possibly the saddest thing in the whole contest.

Oh, Cecil...

Excuse me, I'll just go cry in a corner.

I'm trying to think: as a Link fan, who would I want to win between Charizard/Samus/Red/L-Block and go into the final? Assuming the first 2 spots in the final are taken by Draven and Snake, this last semifinal is our only hope. But Samus winning the contest is hollow- because we'd have to stomach Samus beating Link. Hmm....

Better get behind L-Block because as one of only two people (soon to be three) to ever beat Link it'll make Link look good

Red & Blue are hard to gauge, but I think they're relatively strong and perform better when up against certain things. It helps both are pretty easy to rally too if they need it.
