Snake will end up with a much lower percentage here than last round. And I think Snake's bandwagon started when he beat Cloud- that showed he had the strength to challenge Link.

L-Block didn't do any better in the finals than he had the round before. He got the same solid percentage. This is just weird.

By the time this ends, Snake will have ended the last three matches around 30%. It's pretty much the exact same thing as Block.

Snake is not blowing away Link though. This might be a Vincent/Crono match.

Despite what he's doing to Cloud, the trends for the first 30 minutes showed that Link should be running away with this. Snake is staying in this by the sheer will of his fanbase and those hungry for another huge finals upset. If he can keep it up at the start and build something nice overnight, the same people keeping him in it now can claw to get him the win.

So if this is because of Cloud/Crono SFF, does that mean Crono beats Samus cleanly 1v1?

And people say 4-ways can't be interesting. Here we get to see Snake not only crush Cloud, but he is also going even with Link.

Oh, and Crono's there too.

Though - despite how this will rain on the parade - Link should still finish cleanly ahead of Snake, so it's not quite a Block kinda thing...unless Snake actually does what he did to Cloud last round, but I'd expect Link to actually do something notable during the day.

As impressive as it was to win the day vote over Cloud, given Snake's history, winning it over Link is another matter entirely. But it's hard to count him out of doing it with what we're seeing right now, but I wouldn't count on it.

I mean, Link looked like an absolute unassailable monster before this match. He absolutely has CRUSHED EVERYONE in his path this year. He's looked even scarier than his 2004 counter part or his 2005 counter part...

And Snake is BEATING him.


Cloud looked the same way before last round too. This is ridiculous.

Alot of people were tired of these contests due to Link winning everywhere. But Snake is within striking distance to beat him, so why wouldn't they try to get Link to lose?

I think people are overestimating this whole 'Internet' thing. GameFAQs is fully behind him right now during the first hour, but let's see what happens after that. I have a hard time believing people care that much about Link winning popularity polls outside of this place.

Because the Internet *is not* tired of these contests, because they don't care about them. L-Block was just funny.

"Link wins every year in the Gamefaqs character battles...but this time someone might actually beat him! And it's the star of Metal Gear Solid 4, which has cutscenes approaching 30 minutes at regular intervals! Wasn't that movie I mean game awesome?"
