Just for now. He doesn't seem to have made much progress in the last few hours, so let's see if he can maintain its lead long enough.

Diddy Kong, on the other hand... WHERE ARE YOU?!

Quickly making his comeback for the last couple days.

"So cold. I am always by your side."
"There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!"

In the past 4chan who only bothered with having their character win by a bit. The character they support might not have a huge lead but they are also will never lose as long as 4chan keeps stuffing votes whenever it gets close.

They took the banner off the main Gamespot page? Its almost like they want Einstein to win!

Moogle has started a comeback against Cortana.

He probably still loses, but at this point I give him better odds than Diddy. >_>

Einstein's really pulled away from Yoshi.

Yoshi is done, especially now since Gamespot thinks its more important to have something about a Gears of War 3 review instead of having a fair contest by keeping the banner on the front page.

Moogle is really moving. Only a few hundred votes to go.

WOOHOO!

Moogle winning would be a comforting result after Diddy's RAGING performance.

Einstein's rallying makes me wonder... What numbers could Falco put on Yoshi in a legit match?

Don't take ANYTHING out of 4chan influenced matches. By the villain contest, it would tell you that Dr. Breen would beat Sephiroth. They just get enough to win

Everything going according to plan.

Well, except for Dogmeat and Dominic, because I didn't expect either of their rallies.

Launchpad is gonna 70-30 Moogle.

Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.

I wish that, instead of Moogle, 4chan would have rallied for a character who actually deserves it.

Like Rush!

Oh God, what a massacre it will be. And if Einstein really pulls it off against Yoshi, it would 60-40 Clank, and then the next opponents will be...

TAILS and GARRUS!

Like Rush!

Remember that 4chan's intentions in the end are to "piss people off", so they took the most random characters and vote-stuffed them.

Eh, good point. Though Launchpad and Einstein are legitimately two of the best characters in this thing...!

It's pretty impressive that Vivi has managed to maintain a couple hundred vote lead for like 4 days now.

Kinda smells fishy, but eh.

First match of first round had 52k votes. First match of 2nd round has 30k so far. One less day, but I think taking away that banner really hurts.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

Roughly an hour from now, I think.

Yoshi likely would have still won if Gamespot didn't remove the banner and cut the vote intake by 1/3. That just made it easy pickings for 4chan.

Oh wow, they actually did something about the cheating and took away Moogles victory. Almost took away Einsteins, too.
