1) Most shocking result so far?
The most jaw-dropping moment for me was checking the poll and seeing (40 minutes in)...
Bomberman - 23.04%
Crash Bandicoot - 15.90%
Phoenix Wright - 29.82%
Magus - 31.23%

As for... most shocking FINAL result... I'll say... Ryu Hayabusa/Riku/Roxas/Haseo. I still have a hard time getting over the fact that Hayabusa could probably beat Riku by a good margin.

2) Most impressive character so far?
Link! Or Master Chief, or maybe Sub-Zero. Too many options here.

3) Biggest disappointment?
I gotta give that to Magus. He's expected to barely 60/40 Crash Bandicoot now. Horrible. Honorable mention goes to Balthier.

4) Weakest character to advance?
Weakest to advance... that's gotta be... Bidoof. Or Maybe Vergil.

5) Strongest character to lose in Round 1?
Mewtwo, closely followed by Rikku.

6) Who's the contest dark horse at this point?
Gotta be L-Block. Maybe Pikachu, as well. Or perhaps Sub-Zero. At least, those are guys who can potentially go far. Oh, yeah, and maybe Ryu.
