Alucard is SFFing Yuna.

How?

bad VA SFF imho
---

As someone who played the Crash compilation. They added systems to make Crash 1 A LOT easier to play through since Crash 1 on the PS1 had a fuckin terrible save system

Crash 2 and 3 were just the same with good graphics which you can't go wrong with

Well, Kefka's still worth 70% or so on him right now.

KH3 Hype is a fraud.

Kingdom Hearts is pure fraud

We're probably getting Peach>Yuna.

That really does sum up this contest's trends.

I can't wait to see how bad Aqua, and thus Quiet, is this round.

Because MGS is also a fraud, at least this year.
---

I dunno I just feel like Castlevania, PSX+ era FF, and MGS have always had these weird interactions where one side blows the other up by more than expected too often.

It's not an SFF that you can really trace or put your finger on but I always take any result involving any 2/3 of them with some salt. I don't think you can really take this as a legitimate 60-40 of Yuna and say Alucard's going to wreck Kefka because Yuna is obviously > Bomberman, or that Peach > Yuna. Kefka vs Alucard to me is still very much in the air.

Is this finally the year of the plan

Sora and Red just keep swapping updates.

Huge update for Red gets him to his biggest lead of the match.
---

Red might be ready to put this away

I have to agree. Kefka is also known for not being able to blowout opponents, too. Plus, assuming Red wins today I think he also has a good shot at getting out of this division. Big Boss winning it would be very surprising, though.

Contest standings is giving most people picking Hand over Wario.

When in truth it's more likely those "Hand votes" are split between Hand, Monika and Noctis. We'll never know.

Kefka doesn't usually draw opponents he can blow out. He did manage to clear 70% against Wesker when Kefka was allowed to bust out a sprite picture:

I'm guessing Hand and Noctis are grouped together. The Monika brackets are probably in Wario's total.

Pikachu vs. Kratos
Registered Vote Result:
Pikachu - 6417 (65.63%)
Kratos - 3361 (34.37%)

Anonymous Vote Result:
Pikachu - 6153 (59.23%)
Kratos - 4235 (40.77%)

Knuckles was a little bit stronger among registered users, possibly because of bracket voting (which also kept the match close for the first 2 minutes).

Yoshi was also better among registered users, despite the board vote which favored Velvet.

Once again, Pikachu shows an extremely strong split between registered and anonymous users. I actually thought the difference would be even greater against Kratos, but Pikachu has put up an identical 6.40% difference against both Scorpion and Kratos. I think the difference against Kratos is slightly more impressive as the match was closer percentage-wise than Pikachu/Scorpion.

I'll be curious to see what that disparity looks like for Pikachu next round when he's facing a fellow Nintendo character.
---

Hey, I jsut realized my alt bracket, DiegoArmado (ignore the spelling >_>), is #50 on the leaderboard. I believe that bracket has Red and Alucard winning today, too. However, it's my "Pokfear" bracket... so it's not going to last long, unless Mewtwo miraculously pulls things off.

Edit: Also, my own bracket would be on the leaderboard too if it wasn't for my fat-finger pick John Marston > Kratos.
---

Crash and Sora are following weirdly similar trends.
---

come on Sora let's keep cutting consistently
---

Huge cut for Crash.
---

3 consecutive cuts by Sora

Highest percentage of the match for Sora now.
---

Come on Sora!

Make me feel SIMPLE AND CLEAN
---

turn this site into a Square Sanctuary again
---

Whoever wins Sora/Red is going to utterly maul Big Boss, and it's gonna be sad to see.

I do think Alucard vs. Kefka has the potential to be an exciting match though.
---

Five cuts in a row!
---

Don't think twice about winning this match, Sora!
---

You're giving me

too many votes

lately
---

If sora does it this contest is partly redeemed

c'mon, keep that votemotion going boy!
---

These Sora cuts are great, but the Kingdom Hearts night vote is about as dependable as a Motel 6 mattress. Can't say I like his odds here.

Freaking 200 vote barrier

The thing to be concerned with is the UK being in favor of Red 55-45, so for once it's not-Nintendo fighting to take the lead before the dead zone.
---

So does Kefka have a chance next round?
---

The UK is big in favor of Red, but he's not doing great in US/Canada either. Honestly the voting heatmap kind of doesn't make sense considering how close the match is.
---

So there is a Sora rally topic on r/kingdomhearts, and with how close the match is, the sub looks active enough to be able to affect things if it gets enough upvotes (it has 6 right now lol).

Eh, it's almost 50/50 in America. Sora could potentially flip that at some point, which would be big for him.

Kefka has a chance next round, yes. I'd be stunned if he were weaker than Peach and Yuna, at the very least.
