Wow, if Samus actually wins this that would be a hell of an upset. In a final no less.

BIG jump for Samus there. Out to a lead of 160. Yikes.

Or we could look at all those other contests where Zero was comfortably ahead of that useless damzel in distrsuck

You mean one contest in 2003?

So, who else thinks Squall could beat Mega Man and Crono next year?

For someone who thinks the SSB:B trailer did nothing to help Snake, you sure are banking on nothing boosting Squall to NN levels. I have a little theory that I'll post after this post

Boom! Headshot!

If Snake's new power really is coming from SSBB, then SFF here makes sense. And Snake by all rights is already strong, so this result would make sense.

Not that SSBB is the sole cause of his increase. Hell, it might not even be a factor.

I can't see Snake finishing above Tifa's percentage if things continue like this... Tifa as second place in the X-Stats is going to feel so wrong.

If Samus wins this convincingly, it will definitely make Brawl and newly found Nintendo support look like the major cause for Snake's increase. Ah well, if he did this well with hype, imagine what will happen in the next few contests! BWAHA!

I'm not calling this match yet. Samus did poorly against both Tifa and Zelda during the day.

And old man Snake hasn't hurt him a bit, considering how well he destroyed Sonic and Mega Man.

But Tifa's day vote is likely a fair bit better than Snake's. Although...how much percentage did Tifa lose against SNOIC last year? That'd be a good comparison.

Samus doing poorly during the day against Tifa just reinforces the whole ZSS deal. Going even with Zelda during the day is impressive, if anything.

The top tiers are hit and miss since they are occupied by so few people. The -2, -3, -5, -8s and -9s go perfect. The -6s and -7s do okay while the -4s completely bomb. After the -9s you have group in the mid-40s and mid 50s for a while before dropping off.
