Retire Draven. It's not that he's invincible, but unlike Link, he really does make the entire contest about him. He's a champion, and will be a champion forever.

There's those stalls again!

I figure Link will probably win with about 54% or so here, considering Snake's night vote and improved day vote. That's better than I would have figured before the match started by a couple of points.

You know what I want to see now? And not as a trolly suggestion?

DotA characters. I'm a LoL guy through and through, but every time LoL comes up, DotA fans come in to bash it and say their game is more beloved and bigger. I wonder if they'd be able to pull off similar rallies to LoL? And if not and they're on a smaller scale, would it still be enough to threaten near elites?

That works as a start, Snake. Only 299 votes to go to snag that precious lead and join that cadre of the most elite of the elite.

...still not gonna go for a tweet

I don't know all that much, but probably Pudge? Ulti says he's the most beloved guy.

Me? Nah, Sox. I had my fill of that with Snake and Draven. I succeeded at my mission already. Now all I need to do is find a way to proof rallying so guys like Smurf can't twist the results with malice.

Leon...I have to take my hat off. Excellent troll. Everybody in the topic fell for it hook line and sinker, and you didn't do anything! Good stuff.

(Note: I haven't checked Reggie's twitter feed. If he actually did it, it's a troll attempt still, but it goes from excellent to merely adequate.)

Neither of them won. By precedent of the Homer Simpson vs. Ned Flanders bet, both of them must don the Waluigi costume.

Yeah, unfortunately it looks like Snake probably had a mild push at the outset.

Not falling off a cliff like Mega Man did or anything but he's going to have to reach the true night vote to start making sustained cuts on Link, and taking the lead pre-day vote is gonna be a tough sell.

I still think he's doing a helluva job, for the record, just have high hopes for him. C'mon, let's see a nice cut next update to prove me wrong...!

Yeah, this probably ends up as a great performance for Snake.

Hard to say how much Snake is being pushed here, but either way, looks to be a good showing.

I genuinely was "worried" before the match, and that rarely happens when it comes to Link!

52%! Link's rolling now, good stuff.

At the least, this definitely earns Snake #2, I think. I thought Samus could give him a fight for it, but she'll have to take #3.

I just wish I could get a bead on how good this is. On Link 2010 this would be fairly 'eh' stuff, but Link 2013 today, rid of a lot of his tyrannical stigma, should be significantly stronger. But how much? Back to 2008 levels? More? Less? Impossible to know.

And we may never know!

Next contest isn't a Character Battle, and Allen seems reluctant to keep these contests going the way they are for much longer.

We'll have to see where this ends, but I still think Samus has a shot there.

Snake definitely is the favorite, and I'd take him, but I don't know. Just getting a weird feeling about that match.

And the Power Hour has lingered for longer than an hour in a lot of matches this year, so I'm not too concerned for Snake making some progress of his own... yet. He'll have to do it fairly soon though to keep the performance relatively inspiring.

man, the only thing i was worried about was whether Snake could even match Cloud's worst performance here (which was just a hair over 46%). looks like that's going to be a "not" as i thought.
