Link's percentage has been going up with every update, but Draven's gone down a few times. It's a big gap to fill but it seems like Link is gaining votes faster than Draven now.

The only other people I can think of to Rally for Link would be Voice Actors. But I'm not sure where to even start with that. >_<

AJ Lee is a videogame fan too, infact I think the Pokemon series is one of her favorites so she's probly a huge Nintendo nerd. She might help you guys out.

This match is going to end with the 90 minutes being a crucial factor. It really is a worst case scenario.

Plot twist: wrestling and LoL fanbases have insane overlap, Trent just snagged Draven the win.


Nope, Trent has tweeted regularly about Zelda and Mario Galaxy before.


...that reminds me, I might be able to ask AJ to tell her fans to vote. Is she on Raw right now though?

She hasn't shown up yet on Raw, but it's a damn good shot. Certainly a step up from Trent Baretta.

Match CX: (1) Sonic the Hedgehog vs. (11) Mewtwo vs. (7) Bowser

Previous Round

Sonic the Hedgehog – 50.02%
Barret Wallace – 26.09%
Dracula – 23.89%

Mewtwo – 44.28%
Phoenix Wright – 29.91%
Vincent Valentine – 25.81%

Bowser – 41.50%
Sub-Zero – 29.63%
The Boss – 28.87%

Analysis

In my defense I created my bracket with Final Fantasy VII dropping only a bit in my mind. Even with a proper picture I feel Mewtwo would have still won that match. What would be interesting to see is whether Pokemon or Sonic are more related with Nintendo. Charizard did not seem to take much of an advantage with Donkey Kong in the poll, but if he did that would mean he looked even worse overall which is not good news for Pokemon.

I feel relatively confident in Sonic winning this match. Sonic has looked pretty good so far in this contest. One thing I will be looking for is to see if Sonic can SFF Nintendo character or is it a one-way deal. It makes sense that Sonic would be able to grab some SFF, but would it be noticeable enough like what Samus did to Knuckles.

Bowser is in danger of finishing in last in this poll. Even ignoring on how the SFF goes Mewtwo may be strong enough to outright defeat Bowser by himself. Mewtwo almost broke 60% against a boosted Phoenix Wright. Against a regular Phoenix Bowser does not do too much better over 60%. Add SFF/LFF not going his way and we could see the upset.

In my heart Bowser for second place seems correct, but Pokemon have been looking pretty good. Screw it, I am going with Bowser for second, watching Charizard going even with Zelda is enough for me to go with Bowser over Mewtwo.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Vincent Valentine > Sonic the Hedgehog and Bowser

charmander6000’s Prediction: Sonic the Hedgehog – 38.34%, Bowser – 32.45%, Mewtwo – 29.21%

Yeah, Draven's staying at the 180-190 mark. Link needs him to die off if he wants to win.

And that's probably not happening
