Man, I'd love to see Square fans "get it" for once. You don't need to push FFVII to 80%. It's not the game that needs it today.

They actually did "get it" the first time Snake beat Cloud. Sephiroth lost to Kirby for a reason.

If Mario is pulling gains now, Chrono might not even get a lead overnight.

And now FFVII falls, while SM64 steadies itself, and CT and Goldeneye move up a little. Very strange early vote here. Looks like the Square fanbase got scared after the past few days, gave CT up for lost and tried to protect FFVII from Mario 64.

it's actually more Mario's time than Crono's. CT will probably take a small lead before Mario 64 just buries it in the morning.

Crono's never won the board vote against Mario, I think (with characters anyway). This is over going by last round's trends, but Crono/Vincent last year was also over, with Vincent to win by thousands of votes, going by the previous Crono/Vincent's trends. CT has got to hope Mario's early vote was very inflated tonight.

North America was the only place where Zelda could beat Final Fantasy VI. In South America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania, it got second place instead.

Low forties, to look good, mid forties to look great. Mario 64 and CT definitely look weaker than I thought, but this is still a stronger fourpack than Ocarina's, I think.

Vote total stats!

Zelda: A Link to the Past kept about 80.83% of its votes from last round and about 68.12% of its votes from the round before.
Super Metroid kept about 92.89% of its votes from last round and about 47.25% of its votes from the round before.
Final Fantasy VI kept about 90.31% of its votes from last round and about 83.72% of its votes from the round before.
Zelda: Link's Awakening kept about 43.94% of its votes from last round and about 43.42% of its votes from the round before.

Seems like Zelda 3 is always ready to dish out the SFF, never getting hit by the polar opposite. Super Metroid looks very good, but you don't expect Link's Awakening to hurt it as much as Super Mario Kart and Donkey Kong Country, do you (especially considering that the latter is from the same year, though Same Year SFF may not exist)? Final Fantasy VI has looked good all contest, but nothing really overlaps with it, so watch out next round with Final Fantasy VII in the mix. Zelda 4 drew its worst possible opponent (well, there could be worse, but still) and had to suffer the pain for it. Nuts.

Highest Vote Total: Zelda: A Link to the Past
Lowest Vote Total for a First Place Entrant: Super Mario Bros. 3
Highest Vote Total for a Second Place Entrant: The Legend of Zelda
Lowest Vote Total for a Second Place Entrant: Super Mario World
Highest Vote Total for an Eliiminated Entrant: Final Fantasy IV
Lowest Vote Total for a Third Place Entrant: Tetris
Highest Vote Total for a Fourth Place Entrant: Sonic the Hedgehog
Lowest Vote Total: Zelda: Link's Awakening

Yeah, I figure 43% will maintain its favorite status. Depending on how it handles Pokemon, I think it's possible.

Can't really give a number. All depends on whether Pokemon stands up or if it gets destroyed. It could look impressive at 40% or disappoint at 45%.

I doubt it disappoints at 45%.

Either way, I'm feeling scared about those blasted furries. I know Ocarina has Thor's SFF Hammer, but there's no way Pokemon isn't getting an amazing picture tomorrow. I'll eat my hat if it doesn't have pic advantage.

Crono isn't ready to give up just yet, but Mario's been getting wise to him over the years, making it more difficult each time.
