Guys, Gary Oak is "Green" now. He always was in Japan, and he's now called Green in HeartGold/SoulSilver. Please vote for GREEN!

The sad thing is that I went to bed before that match ended! That's the only part of Mario/Crono II that angers me!

My favorite 'go to bed and wake up to a result' moment was Kefka/Vercetti when I saw the end vote totals.

Nothing will ever top the shock I had when I woke up and saw Mario's name on the bracket that day. I think I went to bed right before the comeback started.

that's it, I'm going to hack the remakes before I play them, and make sure Blue stays Blue.

Gary >>> Green

New tactic, using the infallible stats (otherwise known as the 2003 stats): Red > Ocelot = Jill = Luigi = Ganondorf ~= Megaman X

Heh, Ocelot really dodged a bullet.

Wait a minute... could a night match have actually been WORSE for Magus?

Alucard is pretty North America-centric, so probably not. CT actually did slightly worse against SOTN in the US the worldwide.

I can't believe I stayed up until 3 for Link/Thrall and I'm probably going to bed soon for Red/Ocelot. What is wrong with me.

Anyway, Ocelot wins this.

Looking at the poll US got about the same as the overall match, it was Canada that heavily supported Magus.

I remember checking it to see how much Crono won by, and was ecstatic when I saw the results. I even think I let out a little cheer.

Does anybody remember the mood on the board right before the comeback started? It was very eerie and peaceful. Seeing Mario lose to someone like Crono was shocking and it really seemed like something was changing on the board.

But I guess we just can't have nice things!

Bad update there. Feeling pretty good about Red regardless. You can count on him to make up 1% with the morning vote tomorrow, so Ocelot needs not only to catch Red but to build up a lead overnight.

Ocelot establishes base in Europe. Then gradually undermining the foundation of America.
