Here are the vote totals I collected over the past hour.

1471
1483 (+12)
1346 (-137)
1269 (-77)
1245 (-24)
1195 (-50)
1182 (-13)
1098 (-84)
1030 (-68)

-- THE THRESHOLD --

971 (-59)
848 (-123)
765 (-83)

Link sliced the lead in half and with the 90 minute extension were calling for, I think Link could have taken it, during his cut-short strong time or not.

Only Phoenix's matches, and he had a very respectable run this time around.

The two-three minute freeze, at that. I'm hoping against hopes that our votals will be revitalized by this mayhem. 80k+ matches, here we come!

I have never been more disappointed in a contest result in my life (well, not since Mario/Crono lasted an extra 15 minutes). It's not who won. It's that we got a 22.5 hour poll and that actually affected the outcome.

Actually, this was exactly like Mario/Crono. We all know how the board reacted then.

Yeah, but that rally was ridiculously Link oriented. The spillover is massively going to be Link fans.

Yeah, but I'm 13 points from the leaderboard. Having a chance to make that jump and letting myself get scared into taking a loss is a major kick in the balls.

Oh man, went from #4 on expert leader board to #29 because I left the first two blank last match.

If only link had won.

And now I have Sonic>Mewtwo>Bowser.

Looks like I won't be on the leader board for a while again.
