Regardless of what happens, Bowser will not beat Crono.

However, Bowser blowing away Leon would be sweet ^_^

I can see Nintendo-only players putting Falcon over Crono when they wouldn't have put Zidane over Crono, if only because they wouldn't have known either in the latter situation.

Although Bowser should keep it above 60% with his day vote.

you know, if people are going to say that Yoshi and Luigi are not tied at the hip, I think the same would go for Kirby and Bowser. especially when that match raises so many question marks.

Overall prediction percentage: 83.11%

It's a bit surprizing that we are still still losing -1s and even a perfect on an easy match this far into the contest. Or maybe it isn't when you consider that there a still a couple of "impossible winner" brackets still on the Top 50. There aren't any 0s left, but the low scores still did well with the 1s, 2s, 3s and 4s all getting zero.

The one person to fall off the Top 50 was mugit01. He had Captain Falcon over Crono for some reason.

My Oracle is Bowser with 59%. I expected the PS2 RE4 to do something for Leon and it's looking like it did.

Man, it sucks that fodder like Ada Wong made it to Round 2 while a strong midcarder like Leon is making an early exit. *shakes fist at female bracket*

Oh God, letting a popular KH character get 45% on Yoshi, losing to the near-elite Vincent, performing around expectations with Leon plus factoring in a possible RE4 PS2 boost??? NINTENDO IS SO SCREWED

heh, wow. from a 57% update to a 56% one.

Meh...I still believe this is more Leon's strength. I mean, if Bowser was overrated, think how close Luigi would be to Bowser. Of course, both Kratos and Leon doing so well isn't bad evidence for that.

RE4 is far more casual-frendly than the rest of the series, though. I'd expect Leon to be better with the day vote than the rest of his cast.

Leon should be better at the day than the Claire Redfields and Jill Valentines of the world though. it helps to be a popular game on a Nintendo system.

Bowser might win the day vote, but he's not gonna go all Kairi on Leon.

Nintendo's doing fine to me. it hasn't really had a chance to strut its stuff. the only match it's really lost is the Vincent/Ganon one and Luigi sure showed up in round 1. I think some of the LOL NINTENDOFAQS comments we endured over the past year gave us some false hope as to what Nintendo was going to accomplish.

Do we really have a good reading on Leon, though? I remember reading that the PS2 sales of RE4 surpassed the GCN sales. Even though the GCN version is more highly regarded, that still probably means a pretty significant increase in fanbase.
