Is it possible Isabelle actually got a Smash deboost? Not that she'd be strong regardless, but a lot of people were annoyed by her inclusion and that could set her up for some anti-voting.

So, Mewtwo is looking great today. Will not argue against that. Before we jump to conclusions, however, I would like to remind people of this match:

Wasn't Glados a bit more naturally stronger than Gordon?

Yeah I don't think Aqua has to be too much weaker than Riku and still win that.

Quiet ain't Nintendo!


If anything else, Aqua is a more visually appealing design than Quiet is. Aqua/Quiet reminds me a lot of the Aloy/D.Va match where D.Va had a more visually appealing design.

If characters got full-body pics, Quiet would win the whole damn thing.

Not gonna lie after how Nintendo and MGS looked the first half of Division 1, I was afraid of Dedede > Ocelot and said so on the Show

Kinda crazy how it might actually happen

Well, good job on avoiding the curse there.

I just think it's a mixture of

* This kinda weird quasi-Nintendo SFF with Nintendo and Mega Man characters
* Animal Crossing being a pretty weak game here
* Isabelle being from only from the latest games, meaning she wouldn't even have Tom Nook/Mr. Resetti nostalgia from the Gamecube/DS

GlaDOS was a good amount stronger than Gordon, but Gordon still got 22%, and if you think GlaDOS dropped anywhere near as much as him, this result isn't unexpected.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

I'm sure Isabelle increased just by having more of this site actually know about her. New Leaf looked like hot garbage in the Games Contest until Undertale made it look less like garbage.

Yeah think Ocelot has this one. This should be Dedede's most favorable point and he still can't extend his lead.

Still though the people who said Dedede didn't have a chance because of that stupid 2008 match were dumb as hell.
No problem!

Larger pictures would help a lot of characters, but we really can't have larger pictures when there's 4 matches per day. When we start 2 matches per day in round 4, I expect larger pictures which will allow more of a character's design to be featured in the picture.

King Dedede winning?! I mean, I love Kirby, but I can't believe Shulk, of ALL characters, would be THE ONLY Smash character to underperform this contest.

If it wasn't for Simon's (kind of agonic) victory, I'd be feeling like wanting to cry.

Well that is nullified because Isabelle is against another very strong Nintendo opponent, Nintendo is more or less often just majorly overperforming against anything not Nintendo this contest, so perhaps the rewording should be, Nintendo basically looks like a almost mid carder vs any non Nintendo opponent
I wouldnt say Shulk underperformed he's made a huge improvement since 2013. Old Shulk probably wouldnt break 25%

Ocelot's not a fraud, y'all just underestimated Dedede. He's Dededecent.

the King K. Rool trailer probably boosted him

Eh, I guess putting it on perspective it kind of makes sense. I just thought he would be way more popular/stronger.

Oh, I forgot about Isabelle failing to break 20%. That may be a soft (and weird) consolation (not because of her, but because of possible underperformances).

The earlier start time has resulted in the early night vote (9:00 PM to 2:00 AM) acting as an extended Power Hour and Magus didn't fall off a cliff until we got past 1:00 AM. I would expect Ocelot to make a comeback during the deep night vote, but he can't allow Dedede to build up a huge lead before then. Also, there's the Smash Direct tomorrow morning in which Ocelot should perform better during the Direct, but that may be counteracted by what happens after the Direct ends.

As someone who’s riding the Mewtwo train, I think I’d like on the X train about now, but unless Mewtwo collapses overnight, I think I like him against Tifa.

Nobody should be surprised about Isabelle only having 20%. Mega Man always SFFs weak Nintendo characters.
"Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think."
I'm not sure about that after how bad Gordon looked and how Smash hyped everyone is.

I feel like GlaDOS may have moved down enough and Geno may have moved up enough for these results to be in Tifa's favor.

or maybe Mewtwo will end up 60 - 40ing her. I don't know anything anymore.

As someone who has Tifa > Luigi > Mewtwo > X, I think the correct order should be Luigi > Tifa > X > Mewtwo.

It's way too early to jump into conclusions, though. Luigi has the Nintendo boost and X is crushing a newly announced Smash character, yet Tifa has a really weak pic (her nose looks really weird and it's face-only) and GlaDOS is pretty strong.

The X factor for Mewtwo vs Tifa is that Mewtwo should start well, and that could be an asset for Mewtwo, as it was for Simon and appears to be for Dedede.
