How about that...an upset of a major battle. Given Resident Evil's staying power, I shouldn't be too surprised that Rebecca Chambers beat out Namine, but I am...considering that among most RE fans, Rebecca is not really the most well-liked. I would've thought that the fresh and new Kingdom Hearts character would've been more likely to advance, but you prove me wrong. Regardless, the #4 seeded Namine has been ousted of the contest, and in doing so, is going to screw up points for many. With 20 people picking Namine to win, well, ouch. To the 10 people picking Rebecca, congrats--a long shot paid off. By the way--Rebecca won by ONE vote. But hey, they're your points to lose. On the flip side, Balthier crushed Angelo. Nothing more to say about that.

In addition, 1 more major piece of news tonight: with MoonSword guessing the last 2 battles correct, he has TIED the record for consecutive battles won! He stands with Eyes and TetsuoTrunks at 22 straight battles won! Congrats! Beware, though--Saya too is right on his tail, riding a 20 battle win streak.

Also, as I promised, here is the most current leaderboard. It'll be hidden under the LJ cut so as to not crowd out the next 2 battles due up. This recap picks up where last Sunday's left off (in the event that you didn't download my podcast last Wednesday, you naughy naughy people).
