wow. EBA jumped out to a small lead at the beginning and pretty much held it there until the end of the match. Pokemon had an early lead until Hotel Dusk came roaring back, finally taking the lead in the last 10 or so votes. Pokemon took a small lead in the last few hours but Hotel Dusk sealed it with a late 5 point vote.
this division seems like a three-way race between EBA, Hotel Dusk and Pokemon. the last day of this one could be nuts.

both matches went about the same: even at about the halfway point with the winning game pulling away slowly at the end. Meteos gets Ghost Trick last so it's probably done for, but CTDS vs. Devil Survivor and then the final day means that this could be a messy ending. despite CTDS being ahead in points, Devil Survivor probably has the edge here.
Division B
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow - 135
Professor Layton and the Curious Village - 170
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - 178
The World Ends With You - 127

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow - 227
Dawn of Sorrow is pretty clearly the weakest in this division while Phoenix Wright is the strongest. Layton was never challenged but TWEWY was actually ahead maybe a third of the way into the match before the Phoenix Wright fanclub came along and pushed it to the biggest victory of the day. TWEWY's behind in points but gets Dawn of Sorrow next while Layton has to deal with Phoenix. TWEWY's beaten Layton three times now and has to be seen as the favourite to advance along with Phoenix.
Star of the Round - Professor Layton. Hotel Dusk is the easy pick here but I'm putting that one squarely on Pokemon's shoulders. I always thought Dawn of Sorrow was one of the ten most popular DS games at the very least and Layton won it easily. nice show.
Turd of the Round - Pokemon Black/White. give Hotel Dusk all the credit in the world but this is two crappy performances by Pokemon. given that Dawn of Sorrow looks weak and Pokemon hasn't looked that great, I'm starting to question if PW is this uber powerhouse like it's seemed. it's still stronger than everything else, but it's not untouchable like it was yesterday.
