FF doesn't need to necessarily pull even with Zelda in order to win, it just needs to stop it from going Link/Cloud crazy when the morning vote arrives. Honestly, I found Cloud's evening vote to be much more impressive than his first night vote. Street Fighter was the same way...though RE is no Resident Evil.

If there's no morning vote, this is actually a very up in the air match. As it stands, I'm thinking FF will struggle to break 48% when it's all said and done.

FF's % from 3:00 to 9:00 against Super Mario Bros: 55.49%

FF's % from 9:00 to 14:00 am against Super Mario Bros: 51.68%

FF's % from 14:00 to 19:00 am against Super Mario Bros: 53.76%

FF's % from 19:00 to 0:00 against Super Mario Bros: 55.41%


Right now you're looking at FF's best time, against SMB so... this isn't too shocking. Question is if it'll have the momentum long enough to take the lead and if so, can it keep it. I doubt it

Because Mario > Zelda. Clearly Final Fantasy wouldn't have been close to Mario without massive stuffers.

Does Mario deserve to be in the highest scoring match until God Knows When and the Most Impressive Loser for perhaps even longer? OF COURSE HE DOES

And you can't tell on the updater since it missed the 6 AM one, but Zelda gained back a wee bit on that last update. Gotta love voting trends. =/

Yeah, Zelda gained one vote between 6:00 and 6:05.

Now is when FF update wins matter a ton. If it wins updates during Zelda's best time, a comeback is a very real possibility. Granted the morning vote isn't in full swing yet, but that last update wasn't nice to Zelda at all.

Mario didn't start gaining percentage until 2.5 hours after this time. Final Fantasy still has some time to trim some fat off the lead, but then it'll have to endure at least six hours of hell.

It would have to be the most devastating loss, ever, if Zelda somehow loses this.

I would be sad. Right now I want FF to make a comeback, but not winning with more than 3000 votes >_>

Oh and is it odd that I've Zelda winning and think it's the best series ever but still voted for Final Fantasy?

Tails would nominate you for the next character contest if he could.

If that happens I'll buy you a new game. Nothing would make me happier. Regardless of competitors it'd be the most amazing match ever, and therefore would please me to no end.

You're the third person tonight to admit to being influenced by different factors when it comes to the contest. So in short, no.

if the sides were switched right now, this would be much, much better.
