We're on top right now.

It may not stay that way.

How do we assure our victory and keep our lead?

The key is information. If we can take a look and see if any of the other games are planning anything, we can estimate how close they'll come to overtaking us and whether or not we should plan anything.

Of course, this doesn't catch things like hidden snipers, but more information is never a bad thing.

For example, as many of you already know, Skullgirls is planning a Donation Drive, and they have around 3300 so far at the time of this post.

In this thread, post any additional info you find. Let's keep some tabs on the rest of the games.

This drive will be super decisive. If they can get the full match out of this, it will go a long way to closing the gap.

Our advantage comes from our superior numbers. If we can continue to rally around this cause and continue to get everyone to donate $5, I think we can secure our victory. The question is how to get the word out and how to get people who can donate to act.

I know everyone can drop 5$, I can't imagine how hype it would be to see Melee at Evo again.

Alright so what we know, they have almost 22k accumulated (so do we), they're sitting on 3k+ in matching donations (so are we), and they're having a stream on thursday night (same as us)...down to the ****ing wire.

Keep in mind that they have several things that they are raffling off or doing auctions for, including an artbook signed by the entire voice cast that could go for a lot. In addition, I think they're going to get a lot of donations from the people who bought posters cuz half of each purchase is going to this.
