I had this quick scare because I thought I had picked Tidus to win, but it turns out I didn't.

But then I realized I picked Sully too. gg, me.

Um.. what. I am a huge fan of both Persona 4 and FF9, if you don't think those two games share a VERY similar fanbase you're just wrong.

This. I'm willing to bet 99% of Persona fans, bare minimum, have played a Final Fantasy game.

Overall vote totals (without the bonus) on the first day of matches - 17575, 17581, 17578, 17581

That's roughly an average of 17579 votes for the first day of matches. With 150 matches, we are on track for a total of 2636850 votes for the entire contest. At least we're already outperforming the Years contest from a year ago, despite our non-contest vote totals being even lower since the Years contest.

Interesting how Tidus is limping along like this, while Vivi and even Lightning have excelled. Poor guy can't catch a break.
Now crack that combination:

Projecting Vivi's strength vs. Yu doesn't make him beat Ganon.

It does make him beat Leon, though.

Lost in this conversation is that Leon Kennedy is f***ing BEASTING today. Claire Redfield has a real shot, and the Persona fanbase will spend all day blaming the match picture instead of themselves if Joker loses. These people are the democrats of GameFAQs contests; they refuse to look in a mirror and acknowledge that their own ridiculous behavior year after year after year is why they aren't more popular even though they're sticking up for something worth defending. These people are some of most obnoxious users every single contest, which is why it's always great when Persona loses early.

This is not directed at KP or Chris, for the record. People like Biolizard and the smelly nerds I used to play Magic with have forever ruined Persona for me.

So it seems like. It's still possible to submit a vote directly to the poll results page (which I'm doing for the First Vote contest), which is one way that someone could vote in fewer than 4 matches on any given day.

I'd probably take Narukami, honestly. Dragonborn looked pretty pathetic in 2013, and I can't imagine he's gotten any better.

Luster, looking for your help here. Can you add in the date noms went up, the exact number we got, when banners were and were not on the front page, and anything else you find interesting? Thanks bro.

Board 8's nominations before the front page banner and the database for auto-fill would be great.

Trend charts time:

Time | Dante | Cuphead | Votes | Demographic
EBV | 73.01% | 26.99% | 452 | (0:00-0:05)
PHV | 72.21% | 27.79% | 3278 | (0:00-1:00)
ENV | 70.35% | 29.65% | 8455 | (1:00-6:00)
DNV | 72.64% | 27.36% | 3074 | (6:00-10:00)
TMV | 71.87% | 28.13% | 5628 | (10:00-16:00)
TDV | 72.21% | 27.79% | 5959 | (16:00-24:00)

Cuphead does well with the early night vote. The match is fairly steady otherwise.

Time | Chloe | Lightning | Votes | Demographic
EBV | 31.11% | 68.89% | 450 | (0:00-0:05)
PHV | 27.02% | 72.98% | 3283 | (0:00-1:00)
ENV | 25.43% | 74.57% | 8455 | (1:00-6:00)
DNV | 26.60% | 73.40% | 3075 | (6:00-10:00)
TMV | 25.55% | 74.45% | 5628 | (10:00-16:00)
TDV | 25.51% | 74.49% | 5962 | (16:00-24:00)

B8 favors Life Is Strange, which isn't surprising. Europe does, too, which is a little more surprising.

Time | Spyro | Chun-Li | Votes | Demographic
EBV | 35.11% | 64.89% | 450 | (0:00-0:05)
PHV | 44.66% | 55.34% | 3278 | (0:00-1:00)
ENV | 42.46% | 57.54% | 8453 | (1:00-6:00)
DNV | 44.96% | 55.04% | 3076 | (6:00-10:00)
TMV | 44.74% | 55.26% | 5630 | (10:00-16:00)
TDV | 43.87% | 56.13% | 5961 | (16:00-24:00)

Spyro does his best work around the middle, probably around the time Europe is voting in the largest numbers. Chunners does a little better out of the gate and toward the end.

Time | Ganon | Neku | Votes | Demographic
EBV | 79.11% | 20.89% | 450 | (0:00-0:05)
PHV | 79.15% | 20.85% | 3285 | (0:00-1:00)
ENV | 78.59% | 21.41% | 8455 | (1:00-6:00)
DNV | 77.12% | 22.88% | 3073 | (6:00-10:00)
TMV | 78.92% | 21.08% | 5627 | (10:00-16:00)
TDV | 78.78% | 21.22% | 5962 | (16:00-24:00)

Not a lot of movement here, but Ganondorf does his best right out of the gate, and Neku does a little better during the deep night.
I'm not as sour on Dragonborn as most, apparently. I expected him to easily crack 30% and possibly even avoid the doubling. So like Ulti, I feel like Leon is throwing down a real gauntlet here.

Vivi/Leon could go either way, really. But that's true any year. Except CBIX...!
Now crack that combination:
27 99 23.
I actually have Tidus in my bracket thinking I had DK.

I actually felt like I had the "smart" pick for once. Dammit.
