I expected Cloud/Seph to beat whatever Link/Ganon got yesterday, yeah. This is a major SFF match, Cloud's not doing better here with Seph than he did by himself once. Though, Link/Ganon's result was probably more surprising- I thought they'd come in a bit under the tripling and they came in well over it. Must be Skyward Sword I guess.
FF8 vs KH was "suppose" to be a SFF match with quite a few predictions 60/40 and over... Yeah Djoker is right, you can't take the same SFF variables in two vastly different formats (that of nintendo's recurring franchises and squeenix one time wonders of a franchise).
Also FF8 isn't fodder and has a decent fanbase, which guarantees them atleast 20%, you add in the usual heavy anti-vote of cloudiroth and a tripling looks sound in this format. The +sephiroth votes factor doesn't work as well against FF8 like it did against the snakes because not only is this match already lop-sided (harder to earn a greater percent) but voters of ff8 are pretty anti (would have less sway) of ff7 in it's entirety. Which means if they are not voting cloud they are probably not gonna vote because sephiroth happens to be there as well.
I'd say this is an expected performance. And besides Link's obvious favorite this performance doesn't lessen FF7's chances, not that this match would tell us anything worthwhile to begin with.
