Dang, nice Mario advantage in these pics! Focusing on the cartoons, stealing the Master Sword, subtracting Sunshine Mario while including 3 Pig Ganons, superior dance moves... I like it!

Trainers not gonna let Cloud/Sephiroth pull away so easily.

If this thing is still close in a few hours, then I'd have a hard time seeing Cloud/Sephiroth winning. They need to start pulling away.

Match pic 7 is so amazing. Pokemon's not giving this up yet either. It took the lead back again.

Somehow, even though I'm in a mood for Legend of Zelda (and Metroid - speaking of which, how much is Samus's team projected to get on Snake's team based off of this result?), I don't like seeing Mario vs. Link in those match pics.

Argh. Time to get out of here again. I don't want to think of GameFAQs contest success when I think of the Zelda series!

I banked all 13300 of my points on Link getting below 60% but still winning.

15 votes, Cloud will take lead any update now.

With 3 hours left to build the lead and Cloud clearly in control, they should have too much of a lead for Pokemon to make a difference rallying in the last hour when they're already on the wrong side of the vote intake.

Cloud needs to quit screwing around and end this, leaving it as a 50/50 match doesn't bode well for him going into the last hour.

Match LXIV: (1) Mario/Bowser vs. (1) Link/Ganondorf

Previous Round

Mario/Bowser – 55.61%
Pokemon Trainer Red/Pokemon Trainer Blue – 44.39%

Link/Ganondorf – 58.26%
Cloud/Sephiroth – 41.74%

Analysis

The third place match may have given us pause about the final, but I don’t think it is too big of a surprise that Mario is close to Link indirectly. Of course the magic word is indirectly and we could be seeing a lot of SFF here unless smart voter GameFAQs decides to step in a prevent some of the SFF. It is quite sad that Cloud and Sephiroth have dropped so much over the years.

The only thing debatable about this match is whether Link will defeat Mario by more or less than what he did in the last character battle. I would like to believe that Mario will perform better because while voters have shown that they do care about the rivalry between Link and Ganondorf it does seem that the rivalry between Mario and Bowser has been much better liked. Of course this is Link we are talking about and we’ve had enough contests to know what Nintendo fans prefer.

Should SFF not appear Mario and Bowser should be able to break 45% on Link and Ganondorf. I do feel that the pair will be better off than what happened to Mario in the last contest. On the other hand it would be a fitting end to watch Link crush his final opponent which should give SBAllen something to think about next contest, should we ever have one.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Cloud Strife/Sephiroth > Mario/Bowser

charmander6000’s Prediction: Link/Ganondorf wins, 62.35% - 37.65%

I'm still torn between picking a 60-69% on Link or just doing a straight pick >_> I can't tell how well Mario is going to do. My score sucks so I'm just trying to beat SBAllen for karma. If I do a straight pick, then SBAllen will beat me if he does a 10% pick and gets it right. Otherwise, I should be able to stay ahead of him.

I think a 60-69% prediction is almost a sure thing.


Even after today? Link could only get 58% on Cloud's team, which is proving to be a bit weaker than Mario's. If you assume transitivity and no SFF in the past three days (I gotta wonder how much Mario really did SFF Pokemon), then Mario should be worth in the mid-40s on Link. Yes, the odds probably are with Link to keep it above 60%, but it's not a sure thing and is too risky to bet on for my blood.

ASV hit, Trainers began pulling away at speed, then stalled after 30 mins. Cloud/Seph pulled back to parity, and it's been near-even for well over two hours.

Heck, 3 of the timeframes have been won with less than 51% of the vote. I imagine this last one will be as well. That's probably a record of some kind, to have so many timeframes that close.
