In 2013 against Pikachu, Sora gained a lot of % after the freeze. Looks like we have a match.
If all else fails use fire.
Kingdom Hearts tends to trends upward as the match progresses. Bad early vote, okay night vote, great day vote.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

nervous about my pal Red
It really is.
None of the KH characters had a great day vote in round 1 though.

Pokemon has been absurdly frontloaded this year though, even by Nintendo's standards.
KH's day vote is slightly better than Pokemon's, but with the nerfed votals it will still be hard to put up any sort of a comeback.

That wasn't really true against Ryo Hazuki, Sora's % steadily declined throughout the day. Pokemon is probably even more frontloaded though, so who knows.

BabyFAQs confirmed. The more cartoonish and less realistic the character design, the bigger the boost they get.

Also why did we trust Sora?

Few are coming on here over a month out from launch to discuss the game, so KH3 hype isn't going to affect voting much. He is still an outside chance to come back though, right?
Europe numbers are weird right now but Red is throttling Sora over there RN

That's still early enough that we should get enough of an idea of how they're gonna vote, especially in the UK.

eh not really

their early vote is probably more skewed than the B8 vote because of the small sample size

yeah Kefka is plummeting at an uncomfortable rate right now

I mean I always believed in Kefka > Yuna but Bomberman > Yuna is a different story

13 people fell off the Top 50. FlyingForever, xxIron_Dragonxx, paulg235, Xcarvenger, Ulti69, CaptainOfCrush, Bolto4, ffmasterjose, Tekashi69, Xeybozn, dankoismad, ad_absurdum and ExBahamut did not have Zero, Wario, Yoshi and Pikachu winning.

8 people got a match wrong but survived. SamusOverCloud, 8Sunshine6, BradyFumbled, Captain_Sorzo, Wreath, art_of_the_kill, lordjers and darthsidius also did not have Zero, Wario, Yoshi and Pikachu winning.

Former first place huntmaster17 only scored half points but managed to survive based on their strong performance in previous matches.
This was not the best year for my bracket.
Congrats to BK_Sheikah00 for winning the BYIG Guru Contest!

Kefka will be one of the furthest advancing FF characters.

Beating out every FFX character.

I mean probably not Auron, he was basically handed an entire division
f***, not a good update for Sora.

Except for Charizard, he didn't seem to have any clear advantage over Terra with the early vote.

Well, we've seen the early vote FFVI has, too, so it probably canceled out.
I have Sora and Yuna winning next round, so...this division tore me up.

Sora is doing a good job at stalling. A random cut would be nice right about now, though.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

like who feels good about whoever they've got winning next round regardless

this division man
I don't know, I'm pretty sure both Red and Sora would do better than 52% on Crash Bandicoot

we all thought Ganondorf would break 60% on Chun-Li too (literally no one in the Oracle had under 60%)

we've been wrong about a lot of things this contest!

I'd feel a lot better if we got user made pics next round so we could get rid of that old man pic but it probably ain't happenin'

WOW that Red update

Okay I can stop watching this match obsessively for a while
If all else fails use fire.
Crash cut BB and Sora flopped

Not a great update

Big Boss did very badly against Ridley. This match, while very surprising, is not nearly as surprising as Red/Sora being in this situation would be.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
too bad Jak missed the contest this year

these Playstation platforming mascots look stronger than ever

Ratchet could've won multiple matches...!

Red and Sora were supposed to be similar in strength in 2010, right? It would be one thing if KH3 hype seemed to matter but if anything it's Smash hype that's taking over.

Edit: Nevermind, I misunderstood the previous post.
This was not the best year for my bracket.

I'm just happy Crash is at least making a match out of this when no one was expecting Big Boss to struggle.
