Velvet is pretty much getting a similar percentage as Lloyd got on Ryu. If Velvet is as strong as Lloyd, Ryu and Yoshi aren't too far apart which is what you would expect.

an amazing match. Dante lead went up when the game was on, and Ryu cut when the commercials happen, and then just kept going when the game was over.

It makes sense that Velvet would be better than, say, Yuri Lowell - her game actually came out on platforms that people care about and was (correct me if I'm wrong) the best received Tales game in a decade

plus she's a girl although the Edgy Deboost probably balances that out
"Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything."
Yeah, I figured Velvet would probably be better than Yuri because that's not a particularly high bar to clear.

Matching Lloyd is pretty darn impressive though, regardless of how old ToS is.
Yeah, both Berseria and Velvet had a very good reception.

I'm not entirely convinced that the hockey game actually played any role in Ryu's comeback after the game ended. Dante got a lot of his strength from Europe, as seen here:

Dante tried to keep the match in his favor until 5:30 PM, and then he fell off a cliff after that when Europe started going to sleep and Ryu made his comeback.

There's actually no votes from French Guyana. Hovering over French Guyana simply says "France", yet French Guyana is somewhat unique in that it has its own country code. And French Guyana's country code (GF) is completely absent from the source code of this page:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/map?id=7306

So this means there aren't actually any votes from French Guyana.

The remaster has new scenes but they didn't get back all the voice actors from the original game, so some scenes will have the originals and some scenes will have stand-ins
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
also it's possible Yoshi's just not very good and hasn't been for a while

that Squall/Sora combined beatdown they put on him in 2008 is still flat out embarrassing for him

oh wow, I wasn';t aware of that. Having two different voice actors for the same character is going to be weird, unless the new lines are not voiced at all which would be the better option. It's not deal breaker for me but a poor decision by them.

Persona 4 Golden did it for a couple of characters.

It's definitely jarring when the voice actor very clearly changes in the middle of a scene.
ToV remaster is dual audio at least, so going with the JP voices is still an option! The original dub was quite good though.

Yeah, no doubt Ryu would have won regardless of the day, just that the Olympic Gold Medal match caused all of Canada and a large portion of the United States to watch the game and thus not using the internet.

Here is the water usage during that game in Edmonton, a major city in a different Canadian province.

Kratos suggests that Pikachu would get 62.24% on Charizard
Also Zero is doing well, Knuckles does have strength after all.

Yeah, that was always going to happen. Sonic is popular over there and Mega Man might as well not exist. Knux has a chance to finish with 45%, although maybe not a great one.

Not really, for all the ground Knuckles will gain overnight, Zero will recover it tomorrow. Look at Mega Man/Sonic 2005 for an idea of trends.

This may be true, but it doesn't change the fact that French Guyana also has its own unique country code. The results map also doesn't provide any easy way to see if there are any votes from French Guyana (and the results) unless you view the source code of the page that provides all of the data for the maps.

More fun with numbers!

If Zero = Pikachu, Knuckles beats Kratos with 58.84% and Zidane beats Kratos with 52.39%
Also, I guess I could do some with Division 1, too, since that one is more interesting!

If Dante = Ganondorf = Vivi = DK:

Tidus beats Lightning with 60.09%
Spyro beats Lightning with 52.28%
Leon beats Chun-Li with 53.65%
Cuphead beats Dragonborn with 51.13%
Sully beats Chloe with 55.31%

Velvet is a freakin' solid character, which made me a bit annoyed people just simply chalked up her first round performance to "Pic Factor." People that have played Berseria do genuinely like the character from what I've seen on the internets...

Which wouldn't have been as bad if they had gotten Matt "the other Troy Baker" Mercer to stand-in, ala Kanji in Persona 4. Still, the stand-in isn't horrible, so I'll let it slide.
