Do we have any speculation about the falling votals of late and whether the scale-back is equal across demographics? I'm curious if the site loses enough traffic, then maybe 90's games that are down-trending could reverse the process because more people that comprise the core of the site stick around and support these games / characters who were slightly stronger in earlier polls.
Alucard v. Shep is probably the toughest call. Alucard exited to Link 72-28 in 2010 and Auron 65-35 in 2006. Shepard looked good against Ellis (who?) but in retrospect who wouldn't 75-25 that worse-than-fodder. Shep then loses 62-38 to Pikachu. Is Auron that small bit stronger than Pika? Probably. Also at least Dracula is a recognizable name to add to the bill, as opposed to Saren.
