Board 8 > Predictions for rest of contest? I think it might be fully settled within hours.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I think the only toss-up match left at this point is who wins 146, i.e. can Samus flip her 3 point deficit in the rematch. I think it's quite possible even though it's a larger deficit than MM vs Pika, the only rematch to flip so far.

145 Cloud will definitely beat Crono again (previous margin was 13%) & in the very unlikely event MM wins 143 he should lose to Cloud by similar margins.

I think whoever wins 146 will win 148 & 149 as well:
- 148 because there's no way the Nintendo diehards on this site will let a non-Nintendo character advance to the finals. If it's Mario, he's had a history of beating Cloud.
- 149 because assuming Zelda loses to Link, unless it's really close, I doubt voters would want to send her straight back to Link for the same result.

147 & 150 I don't see Link losing to any other character. 147 might be close but Link is the character who always saves the princess.

Thus
143-Crono
145-Cloud
144,6,8,9-Samus
147,50-Link

Anyone expect something different?

@NewerShadow, who are the top 10 B8 users (along with their final scores) with the above outcome?

I'm guessing anyone on the leaderboard right now will likely need a Link win in (147, 150), plus at least 3 out of 6 correct loser's picks among (143-6, 148-9) to remain competitive.
