I think the poll will start off rather hot, but once the sun rises (or maybe a bit before then), Link will take over.

Oh, and Mario with 25% of the brackets.

GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~

Link will get 54%+ on Cloud.

Crono has won the last three and a half hours or so.

I think this match will be anticlimactic. 55% at first, Cloud cuts it to 51%, then Link maintains a steady lead over him for the rest of today. you know, kind of like Mario/Crono.

"Stay there for me, trapped in memories."
"I...I won't become a memory."

Last year's final, IIRC, was on a Saturday, so that would explain the drop-off in votes here. Also, with this being a school night, Cloud should have a stronger night vote (good chance to take the lead, I'd say), but Link will come roaring back with a better morning vote of his own.

Everybody with a score of 50 or less got the match wrong.

The prediction was fairly evenly spread for the top and mid tiers. They all had prediction percentages ranging from the mid-40s to the mid-50s. No particular bias except the lower tiers had very low prediction percentages.

29 people fell off the Top 50 today. Scott1211, Masa2000, plasmabeam87, SephirothG, EternalPirate, Shoenin_Kakashi, EvilNcr, Peddy_Aul, LoopZoop, Dancingbaby, Daredevil3181, checkerboard, MysticPlatypus, Bananaquest, kable9, Metroid_Link, futurecloud, Ed_Bellis, ChronoT7, Fa110utKid, rocket157, superstarkyle, Centhawk, TehIcon, GTAMGS, Norris_Got_Gunz, Snak_N_Daxter, Master_Epyon and GenmaNinja454 did not have Mario winning over Crono.

eh, %'s are a little bit lower.
