Looks like Link and Snake split Mario's votes. Good Lord.

The early vote was interesting. Sephiroth got bracket votes, Snake got underdog votes, and Link...well, he's Link. As a result, Cloud was just destroyed there. =p

Sephiroth 13.67% 187
Solid Snake 23.1% 316

I was hoping Link could get 45% here...but I did not anticipate Snake getting so many Mario votes. Good grief.

Only 9.96% had Mario going out second - I guess people figured the male/female winners would go out first and second.

(Damn, he went down and Link went up... but he's still ahead of Cloud! Haha.)
