I'd say that the best bonus match that has a realistic chance of actually happening is Draven vs. the 2 losers of the R1 bonus match.


My face might melt if SBD appears in a third poll.

I'm still making up my mind between Altair and Lara for second here. It's a tough one.

I was leaning toward Lara before, but now I think Altair might stand a better shot. Afraid to bank any more this round after I did so last match. Hmm...

Are you ready for a Kefka match finally making sense?
I don't see him losing here..really
Altair 57-43 Ratchet doesn't look impressive...Ratchet is a weakling (ignoring 2010,and I don't believe in Jecht being strong sorry)
Also what is with Xenoblade character doing decent..Altair sucks
Lara getting a better % on Slime,who I would consider better than Ratchet makes her clear favorite for second place..
Come to think of it..why isn't Dragon Quest more popular here? this is the kind of series Gamefaqs like

All three their performances look extremely fraudulent if you study them too hard. Zack and Ryu have even more reason to fall of a cliff than say Ratchet and Slime could be the same strength as Hero and Lara couldn't double it.

I would guess that Lara/Altair have a bit of overlap between them. Could just be that she's taking a chunk of his expected votes.

I don't think its too early to call it. This kinda difference can't be made up by just a difference in board vote.

Anyway, great performance from Lara! She's got to have shared in some of that PS1 icon boost that did so well for Crash and Spyro.

I wouldn't call it a second round flop when he looked very meh in Round 1.

It was that performance that got people thinking Tails would get close to Ezio!

Came pretty close to going for Lara > Altair too.

People had Altair > Lara? Lara's actually had a relevant game while Ezio's taken the spotlight away from Altair. He's all character design, while Lara at least has nostalgia backing her up.
