Day 25, Match 3 - Zero vs. Wario
(1) Zero: 60.25% - (13) Wario: 39.75%

What happened?: This was a bit of a surprise. Zero is projected to usually do more like a doubling or even 70% on Wario. During the board vote that's what it looked like it would be. But then Wario kept making percentage gains and kept bringing it closer and closer, altogether leading to a pretty respectable 40% showing for Wario. Wario is definitely another silent star of this contest - his wins haven't been flashy, but he has been quietly having his best showing ever.

What could this mean?: In the context of Wario's previous appearances this makes a bit more sense. Wario has never been able to escape some sort of nasty SFF situation until now. I think we're just now seeing how strong he actually is, a decent to high midcarder. Also Noctis keeps seeming weaker which is hilarious - barely ahead of Primrose. Does he even beat her? Probably not given that those that overlap would likely prefer Primrose to BlandyMcProtagonist. Noctis is definitely the big loser of the contest so far.

Day 25, Match 4 - Yoshi vs. Pikachu
(3) Yoshi: 45.2% - (7) Pikachu: 54.8%

What happened?: Another once debated match that became more of a foregone conclusion as the contest raged on. Yoshi did keep it close early on but that stopped with the board vote, and not even Yoshi could win over Pikachu's incredible GameFAQs vote. In the end this was a 55/45 win for Pikachu and if you can do that to Yoshi you're elite - if we want to go way back 2006 Snake (the first really great Snake showing) only did 57%. The geographical trends for this one were a bit strange too - Yoshi won in most of continental Europe (and Ireland), which surprised me.

What could this mean?: Pikachu's a monster and will win the division with no problem. Not much else to say by this point.
