That's definitely because of the tweet. Shovel Knight had a huge update.

Turned a close last hour into a potential blowout.

I think it's too late for a blowout but we are probably looking at a 51-52%

Octopath about to get octOWNED after that Twitter rally.

I suppose next update determines if that's the killshot, or if it just put Shovel Knight on the right side of the deficit for the next hour.

I'm guessing that's a wrap, given the way Retweets work, but it's likely we only need the next five minutes for the answer.

And we go straight into some other very debated matches afterwards that are likely worth more than two points for most.

Twitter matters?
SK went from 18 votes last update to 67 this update.

I'd like to point out that the Undertale twitter account credited with winning this contest only has 29,000 followers.

I'm not going to call this done because there's an hour left

but I think Octopath coming back from that is the only way this gets any crazier

Was it not trending upward for the last few hours, despite the Octopath rally, only for it to go down again when the rally got a second life?

Or are we watching a different match?

Eh, I'd say what trends we could glean favored Shovel Knight. Octopath dominated when America was asleep. Shovel Knight started doing better once the rally died off and America woke up.
Can't wait for the big dick CDPR tweet for Witcher

The votals were not particularly higher than the other days and Octopath had the more succesful rally. I'm quite sure Shovel Knight takes this if neither had rallies.

bruh the trends have literally been posted in this very topic every hour. Shovel Knight won the majority of the last few hours. You telling me that if we take away the rallied Octopath votes it isn't already ahead before this nonsense?
The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history.
Shovel Knight probably wins if no rallies are involved but calling it a sure thing is just revisionist history to suit your needs. Rally bad when I don't like it, rally good when I like it

I have no stake in this match but B8 needs to own its hypocrisy sometimes. Everyone is okay with something if it ends up with their favored entrant winning
