Should be mentioned this is right about the time he started to go nuts on Simon. He took the lead at 10:40 EST and never gave it up again.

Zelda, Chun-Li and Bayonetta looks like they have boosted. Tifa and Aeris just haven't tanked like many of the male FF characters. I wouldn't say they boosted. Terra looks good? Although a lot of that is Charizard being bad. 2B looks good but she was an unknown. Lara doesn't seem any better than before but I guess Amaterasu is female as well. That really feels like an excuse, though. It's really just Chun-Li that sticks out. While Zelda looks good, a lot of that is Squall being bad as well.
This was not the best year for my bracket.

GotD 2 is gonna be great because even the Nintendo/Square entries are bound to be pathetically weak too.

I don't think they're going to be favored over the western stuff TOO much.

You’re wrong. This is DroneFAQs and they’d rather LABO win than any deserving game like GTA5 or RDR2. Also, Bored Of The Walking is still popular.

Well...

I guess we know what the secret anti-Squall weapon Garrus spent his whole match calibrating was.

Sucks for my bracket, but at least I have Aeris and Geralt advancing.

The Boss has the excuse of going up against a stronger woman, Terra and 2B both look great through Bowser, unless you think Bowser randomly dropped in contrast to every other Nintendo character.

I'm not really saying the 4 ways contests were the best contests, but they had the best distribution and variety of power among the entrants.

In my ideal world, new entrants like Drake and Ezio and Shepard would last as Dante-like midcarders.


IDK if I'd go that far for all of them (assuming we're talking Peak Dante anyway), but yeah new characters not needing multiple widely acclaimed games to not lose to Tails would be a massive f***in improvement tbqqqqqh

Drake has multiple widely acclaimed games and he still got punked by Tails!

Yeah really Fox shouldn't have been thought as the favorite here. NintenFEAR was the only real reason for it. 59% on Captain Toad doesn't look great but 54% on Jill Valentine is that much worse

This feels like Monday Morning Quarterbacking to me. Even after what we had seen so far, there was no reason to expect Jill to be this close to Captain Toad (which also pokes a big hole in some of these crazy theories being batted around).

I wouldn't be surprised if Mario's actually gotten weaker. As Nintendo has branched out into using more of their characters to promote products (secondary Mario crew, Donkey Kong, Pokemon, Squid Girl) Mario has taken a backseat role. He's still the biggest face of the company, but a couple decades ago, he was the SOLE face of the company, and those days are gone.

Also, being put into more interactions with Smash characters who simply have more interesting aesthetics or abilities have highlighted the relatively mundane nature of Mario's design. He looks plain in every Smash trailer.

Not at all. He's the favorite at this point.. he gained like 1.8% from this point on against Simon and that would give him a comfortable win here. Not to mention he's cut the last 5 updates for a total of 24 votes, and almost 90 in the last hour.

Big difference there is Simon being a predominantly nighttime character. Can't see how Bayonetta doesn't run away with the day vote

People keep on saying Geralt will lose during the daytime yet he gained in percentage all through the day against both Rosalina and Simon. And Bayonetta actually choked during the day against Pacman, dropping from 52.75% at 6 AM EST to 52.07% by the end, while Geralt last round went from 51.51% at 6 AM to 52.19%.

Why exactly do we think Bayonetta would be better with the day vote than Rosalina, a Mario character? Geralt did fine there too, iirc.

Bayonetta's chances of winning this are slim. Geralt has continuously trended upward in all of his matches, kind of like FF7-lite.

Pretty much. I think Bayo would need a couple hundred vote lead by morning to have a good shot, and that assumes she is able to weather Geralts beastly night vote. Even Simon, a "Nighttime character", got smacked around then.

Geralt trending upwards as a general rule is not a given. He faced Rosalina and Smash fueled Simon who both are probably pretty early vote heavy characters.

Western AAA characters trending upward is a general trend though, and nearly all of them in the contest gained about 1% or more during the day in their matches. These characters just start off so badly.

Red had the largest split between registered and anonymous users with yesterday's matches, being nearly 3% better with registered users.

In one of the few times where a Nintendo character does worse among registered users, 2B actually did about 1% better with registered users compared to Bowser.

Phoenix was around 4% better with registered users against Ike in the previous round, but now Phoenix barely does over 1% better this round. Kirby is definitely a lot more popular with registered users compared to Ike.

Bayonetta trended upwards most of the match vs Pac and Riku too for what it's worth. I think Geralt should probably be favored right now but Bayonetta could win with 52% and it wouldn't shock me either
