The only solace I have is that Squall kicked both of these characters asses.

yeah, my question is who's better with the night/day votes? I think it's Luigi, but I'm not sure at all. I know Kirby dropped throughout the entire match with POP, but I think Luigi did too with Zero for the most part. not as bad as POP, but Kirby had a bigger lead..

Man, I hope Luigi wins. He needs to get to Round 3 once.

But damn if this isn't an awesome match so far. And I wouldn't be as heartbroken since I like Kirby as well.

Win freaking win all over this match, even though I said I'd close my account if Kirby won.

Everybody with a score of 12 or less got the match wrong.
Overall prediction percentage: 52.61%

Ouch, even worse than Mega Man, but that's to be expected when you have two Top 15 characters in your four-pack. The -1s and -2s do well and break 80 with the -2s doing slightly better. Oddly the -5s do better than the -3s and -4s.

7 people fell off the Top 50. tree3005, NinnyAlwaysWins, Neo_Strife100, HotRodimusPrime, triviaman, NeoTS and fishnkill4, who had Vincent taking the whole backet, have fallen for not taking Sonic. Noble nine prevails again!

Luigi doesn't appear to be as "average" as Bowser with the day vote from what I gather.
