Basically lose all my interest in this contest if rallies carry another close win for pokemon. Have fun with pokemon-free finals ya jabronis!

I stopped predicting the Expert Challenge after Draven's R2 victory and even I am comofortably ahead of Devin. H-He can't possibly be THAT bad.

Yes, Poke rallier is here to save the day. I gotta go to some pro Pokemon forum and rally more votes for Charizard.

we must rally harder.
for blue.
for bombing.

it's one of those.

Devin and I are going to finish our brackets in a tie. I think we need to use the Expert Challenge as our tiebreaker so we can get his ass in a Waluigi costume.

Not going to use the tiebreaker?

Or is that a tie too? Because that would honestly be incredible.

Just use the tiebreaker in your brackets to break the tie.

Sounds fine to me.

Though, I think a Draven costume would be more apropos at this point.

What % you guys think Charizard needs to end with to be the favorite against Megaman in 1 v 1? I say 43%.

that's nuts, it's gotta be at least like, 46.


MM doesn't get that many of Zero's votes man. More than Charizard, but not something like 75%.

This is almost completely unsustainable by MM (he's going to fall off worse than Charizard is), but I can dream the dream.

Maybe Devin is just really bad at picking the matches that truly separate the pros from the casuals.

Wondering if those were just rally spikes or if we're going into the normal trend?

Isn't Mega Man bad at night? =(


Nah, MM just spiked in that last update. His votes have been decreasing with each update, except for that little 30 vote spike.

Mega Man probably gets something like 85% of Zero's votes. Pokemon are more dissimilar from other fanbases than any other entity here.

Yeah, right now. Mega Man's Power Hour is ridiculous but his night vote is awful. Maybe the Second Night vote, but by then the lead is probably too high.

For tiebreakers I'm at like 52kish and he's at 57kish or something. I'll likely win on that as well.

As for our regular brackets being so close, I finished my bracket well before he did... just sayin'!

I have MM>Charizard>Zero for tonight. I think MM will bring it throughout the day, but who knows? Oh well, was fun being back on the leaderboard again for one night at least.

MM sucks in Europe, but he should probably gain from 1-3AM or so.

By the way, Mega Man got 64% on Magikarp. Charizard currently has 40% on Mega Man + Zero.

Charizard confirmed for not being much stronger than Magikarp.
