Solid Snake is a

Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality.
WEll we can all discard the stupid "Seph will still beat Mario" garbage out the window.
Mario will murder him and get Revengre twice over.

Like i've said before. Zelda as a character is just more respected than she was because she isn't just a damsell in distress.

Back when people actually came to GameFAQs, the match went the right away (and I say that as a huge LoZ fan), and in spite of Snake having a horrible match pic -

But Nintendo boosting, Metal Gear falling (and the most recent games are even about Big Boss instead of Solid Snake), all are coming down to this. Maybe Snake can recover. But while he remains losing, it makes 2013 even more painful. FUCK YOU, R/LOL!

So right now I have to think Zelda is the favorite. Even if Snake does take back the lead overnight, she'll easily win the day and take back the lead then. He has to have something like 400-500 votes by the day to be safe and that'll be tough to get at this rate.
I think Pokemon Trainer vs Big Boss is a good match to look at for trends, and Big Boss only gained about 0.5% rest of the match from that point... which would leave Snake still about 0.4% short.

The way these contests are formatted There isn't much day. Only in the west do we get half a day..when most of the kids are in School.
Snake cannot have any sort of lead above 300 or Zelda is Toast.

School doesn't really matter these days because of smartphones. People can vote whenever.. but we still get a substantial amount of people voting during the day, just not in one big chunk like with the ASV.
We've seen AAA and kid friendly characters gain about 1% in the final 12 hours still.

This is definitely still a toss-up.
If we want to look for trends, Zelda vs The Boss is probably the most logical one to use since she's also an MGS character and Zelda was at 70.31% at the 8:20PM update and ended with 70.70%

Yeah that's a huge bounceback and it's not like either is spiking. It's the other falling off that is causing it
Zero impresses, and Mega Man only looks ok.
Magus and Frog impress, but Crono only looks ok.
Knuckles and Tails impress, but Sonic only looks ok (at best).
I'm sensing a pattern here!
Edit: Oh, yeah, and same with Link relative to Ganondorf and Zelda!

Right, I forgot she actually beat up the Boss in this contest as well. Looking at her matches, she generally actually goes up in percentage from this point so being up at 51% already is pretty good for her. She probably won't go up from here in this match but it gives her a good buffer.

I thought Crono looked pretty good in his match. He got a better results than I expected compared to Mega Man and Sonic who are looking to do worse. Crono managed to finish with a better result on Bowser than Pikachu did on Yoshi.

for a guy who has had no games for decades or even a Smash appearance He performed very well.

If Seph and Mario is close and Mario can't get more tha 53% on Seph then Cloud can reassure himself of getting to two finals at least.

I decided to pick this second chance bracket based on my initial thoughts and stick to it. I picked Zelda here. May still end up being wrong, but this result doesn't surprise me t all based on results so far.

He would have beaten Mario in his Prime.
The Issue isn't his Nintendo Support. It's the fact that his Sony and MGS support is dying that is causing him to struggle.
Even if Snake wins, I am beyond vindicated in those old arguments about how his support collapses against Nintendo.
Remember people thinking he could beat FREAKING MARIO? Give me a break. Dude is strugging with Zelda.

It depends how Snake looks against Auron or Sonic. Considering how the rest of MGS has looked, it seems likely that Snake has simply collapsed and the collapse is unrelated to fighting a Nintendo opponent.

Sorry, I meant "turd because some people probably hate her so much right now."
IMO, Zelda is clearly the star now. She's leapfrogged Alucard, Pikachu, and anyone else.
