Day 27, Match 3 - Geralt vs. Bayonetta
(1) Geralt: 50.88% - (4) Bayonetta: 49.12%

What happened?: Witcher vs. Witch. This was a hell of a match, one of the best of the contest. Geralt was just ahead at the freeze despite losing the board vote. However, Bayonetta sprung to a surprise early lead that seemed fairly substantial. Additionally, despite Geralt coming back from near defeat against Simon to win comfortably, she had not only built a bigger lead, but the European vote was split down the middle rather than heavily favouring Geralt. It looked like he wouldn't do it, and it took him substantially longer to start making significant gains on Bayonetta than against Simon. Eventually he started to cut though, and over hours he slowly retook the lead before again going on to win with a bigger vote lead than Bayonetta ever got.

What could this mean?: Well first and foremost, Geralt is the new Comeback King, in the mold of Frog. He looked good here, and it's great to see a modern, western character do so well. He and 2B are two brand new characters who look like straight up high midcarders and that's great. Is Geralt the strongest western character? He may well exceed Sub-Zero against Auron for sure, but is he stronger than Kratos as well? Hard to say. I hope he does well against Auron, perhaps even pull an upset, but I'm not expecting it.

Day 27, Match 4 - Auron vs. Sub-Zero
(3) Auron: 56.71% - (10) Sub-Zero: 43.29%

What happened?: Finally a boring, straight-forward match! Auron won this fairly comfortably after some worry Sub_Zero might pull off the upset. In the end he won by a bigger margin than against Vincent, but worse than he has done in two contests before this. Sub-Zero climbed a bit as the match went on but not enough to get really close.

What could this mean?: Auron hasn't crashed to Earth like say, Vincent, but he has weakened, by about 3% against Sub-Zero (which looked very steady over all previous contests). Additionally Sub-Zero may well be stronger than Vincent due to possible SFF shenanigans. Auron very likely wins the division, but I do hope that Geralt pulls off the upset.
