Is there any statistical evidence of a Monika rally at all, apart from that one update where she went from 66->95 votes (then back to 56)?

Well, the vote totals are a little above average compared to the first few days, so if the rally is contributing anything, it's not more than a few hundred votes, in all likelihood.

Same here. If this rally fails I'm never picking anything rally-based again.

Hmm. I guess a little evidence is more reassuring for Wario than no evidence, in a weird way.

Do we have an updater yet


it's been working since Luster triggered it an hour ago


Granted, I have to manually trigger it for each update, so I set up a script to access the URL for triggering a poll update on a regular basis.

Square has only crapped the bed against actual Nintendo (DK, Hand) and adopted Nintendo (Knux) so far. Crash and L-Block are neither, though I'd say at this point I'm a tiny bit nervous about Kefka. Let's not completely forget that Vivi and Lightning looked fine against non-Nintendo comp.

Also, I love how we've brought up the possibility of Aeris failing against Waluigi before anyone thought to mention Tifa failing against freakin Mewtwo. She truly is queen of the jugs.

FFXV was absolute trash.

Octopath Traveler should've been called FFXVI to praise the 16-bit era.

I took Mewtwo over Tifa too. Honestly I didn’t take FF in very many matches. Sephiroth is lucky he got such a weak division tbh.
L-Block isn't the oldest character in the contest

unless people start confusing it for the Pong paddle
which paddle would be stronger?
If I only consulted the Gossip Stones like BKSheikah, instead of listening to Tingle, maybe I could have been the 2017 Guru Champ!
Oh, and Aya Brea also looked solid. Square is 3/3 against Non-Nintendo. The problem is Nintendo is 4/4 against everyone, and better still if you count their adopted family (even freakin Leon may fall into that camp though, so I'm not sure where to draw the line).
As good as Nintendo has looked relative to Square, we've yet to see Pokémon or FFVII…

Looking ahead a bit, Nintendo is all but guaranteed to go 7/7 before Ridley drops the streak against Big Boss...

I mean you can consider almost anybody adopted Nintendo

Leon definitely doesn't have Nintendo trends though.

Some FF characters who are genuinely well-liked will be protected. I believe this group definitely includes Vivi and Tifa. Maybe Auron and Cloud.

But expect a general decline from characters who rely on the FF brand itself to bring in votes.

I mean that was a bad upset to begin with! If I'm not taking the fanboy upset, neither should you!

Garrus will probably be weaker now, but he should still beat Ramza.

Unless being a '90s character has given Ramza a big boost...!

can't believe Noctis can't capitalize off of the almighty power of the Tekken 7 Boost.

And Monika's votes fall back down to earth.

For the record: Knuckles and Master Hands vote totals spiked up like crazy during the update that Monika's did. As if the FF guys needed another nail in their coffins.

This is why I picked Knuckles and Hand. I banked on a Monika rally.

Which probably turned out wrong, but hey, still fun to pick! 😀

I only took Monika to round 3, so that's only 3 points lost.

I feel like Wario might have been the least picked out of everyone to win this fourpack on the board, so him winning it might not even really hurt that badly because most people will have gotten it wrong.

or maybe I'm wrong and he's the overall favorite but I haven't seen anyone celebrating the fact that they've got him winning two rounds yet!
Really? Hope you're right, but I thought he'd be a big favorite against Hand, at least.
ZeldaTPLink 10/20/2018 7:17:09 PM#340
One reason I picked Monika to get to round 3 is that I figured most people wouldn't get round 2 right anyway.

Looks like I was right about that. Thanks for sucking Noctis!
I think people are still wary of Monika

I feel like most people have Noctis or Monika here, and I've seen several people talk about having Master Hand winning the fourpack (which always seemed like the least likely outcome to me, but who knows!).

They should be, all it takes is a viral post on tumblr or twitter for this to become something else.

The show has just begun.
so who ya got: DK or Knuckles?

they're both putting up similar performances on FF protagonists, so I guess this is also a "Tidus or Zidane: who ya got?" question!

I've got Wario to win the fourpack! I figured Noctis would be weak, but good enough to beat Master Hand. I also took Zidane though so I wouldn't really be making up any points if Wario did come out of it.
