Carmen Sandiego beating Zelda would be one of the greatest days ever.

That'd be an awful day!

And I was expecting to see some TP artwork there, but ALttP Zelda isn't too bad.

Is that really from ALttP? I thought she had a blue dress back then...


And yes...Zelda losing here...or ANYWHERE not the finals would be a total abomination!

Being a huge LoZ fan myself, I would give up my soul to see Carmen Sandiego win this match.

buncha Carmen Sandiego fanboys up in this here topic.

Indeed! They always flock to the wrong characters!!



And yeah, that's ALttP Zelda, though she did have a blue dress, too, in some artwork.

Hey. People enjoy rooting for the underdog. Especially when the underdog is a badass thief who has hideouts all over the world. And her own television show.

Well, I really disliked it the first two times I played it...but I tried it again afew days ago, and it's been border-line bliss this time. The only times I've gotten mad is when I think to do everything to an object BUT swing my sword at it (like the ****ing curtains.....).

Carmen Sandiego is a cooler character than Zelda, and frankly, had a much larger impact on my childhood. She, like Sonic, will always get my vote.

Carmen Sandiego 19.97% 283

I suspect that the night-vote will be better for Carmen than the day-vote, and if this is all she can draw with any and all joke-votes included, well...Carmen could look real bad in the end.

Bah! I go with HaRRicH's theory on this -- clearly the voters just aren't able to find the option to vote for Carmen.

This would be well on track to be the highest scoring match of all time, otherwise!

Well, in a way, it's sad to see Carmen do so poorly. But, in another way, it's awesome that I get my third AC point today.

Great performace today as expected. Top three tiers break 90. We're still losing a few 0 brackets on obvious matches. For the first time this contest, no one fell off the Top 50. Congrats to them!
