89.2% already, and we haven't even seen the Zelda day vote kick in yet.

Indeed, this is going to get very ugly.

LoZ > FF BOOK IT!

Looking at this match, on the one hand it's comforting to see LoZ completely dominate it's first match as expected, and not slip up as someone who's picked LoZ to beat FF. On the other hand, I'm kind of saddened as a civilization series fan to see such a good series get thrashed so badly.

If LoZ finishes this match with over 90% of the vote, I'd say that it's done more then enough to prove it's worth in the first round, even if it is facing absolute fodder.

Heh, LoZ/Civilization is ahead of Link/Magus.

Man, I'm lovin' these high vote totals. If this match breaks 100,000 with ease, imagine what LoZ/FF will be like. We might be seeing Cloud/Link 2003's record fall.

Harvest Moon kicks ass. Well, at least the first three games did (SNES, N64, and PSX games). It would make me very sad to see it lose to Madden. I'm not sure who'd win, but I doubt either of them would get more than 60% on the other.

Dear God,

Please let the SMB/SSB match picture be the cast of Super Mario Brothers versus Master Hand.

On a related note, even though it would ruin my bracket, please let Sonic upset SSB so that Board 8 would never live it down.

Well this is impressive. Its hard to judge the series thing but I expect Diablo series to be greater than Diablo himself. But still I say Final Fantasy needs to get at least 70% and probably 75% to match this absolute trashing Zelda is putting on.
