As far as I can remember here's who has broken 70% so far, from highest to lowest percentage:

Mario
Link
Weighted Companion Cube
Samus
Big Boss
Solid Snake
Cloud
Captain Falcon (lol)
Zelda

So here's how I predict the Jenova Division will end up after the first round dust settles:

Sephiroth > Marth
Vincent > Guybrush Threepwood
Yoshi > Jak
Crono > Missingno
Soap MacTavish > Big Daddy
Ness > Geno
Tifa > Yuri Lowell
Peach > Gordon Freeman (only bracket change)

Yes, I'm pessimistic about Freeman's chances. Then again, we were all calling for Half-Life 2's head in the games contest, thinking it was going to lose cleanly to Final Fantasy XII and allow Phoenix Wright to get close after seeing lots of FPSs bomb and look how well that worked out. Now we are seeing lots of Valve/FPS characters impress as well as seeing some minor Nintendo characters do well (okay only Ridley comes to mind), and yet now I'm feeling pessimistic about poor Freeman's chances. Oh well.

Both of them getting stuck in the same vote-in poll probably had something to do with that.

So I know this is mostly Ellis being pathetically weak and all, but you gotta still give Shepard some credit.. he's prolly a mid carder to get 80%

Yeah, but how did he get more noms in the first place? Even if L4D2 was the brand new game, that still really surprised me. The L4D1 characters have classic cult status now.

I'm thinking Zoey could have challenged here... But why did ANYONE think that a nobody character like Ellis would do anything worthwhile? I'm pretty sure Ellis from Battle Arena Toshinden would beat him even...

I actually just logged on from a session of Mass Effect 2. My Shepard is such a badass, shooting prisoners for no reason and smacking catty reporters in the face. Its so awesome, as is this result.

LOL Ellis, you aren't even the best L4D2 character.

This is probably partially because of the recency of ME2, but uh...by the looks of it Ellis might lose to Tales characters who weren't in ToS. >_>
