This was probably the best match of the contest in terms of drama and quality. It was also the last close match (Kefka/Diablo had a close-ish margin, but the outcome was decided early on). Diablo was a clear favorite, but Bison had his supporters, too, including a particular user who had been #1 on the leaderboard for most of the contest, named fedor. He certainly wasn't shy about letting everyone know he was #1 either...until the end of this match.

Anyway, Bison took the lead early on, but he maxed out at around 150 votes 90 minutes in. He held Diablo at bay for the next few hours, but he eventually lost the lead. Then Diablo built a lead of about 1000 votes, but Bison tried to mount a comeback of his own, managing to get the lead under 700 votes at the halfway point.

Then, much like Kuja/Master Hand, the day vote arrived in full force in favor of Diablo. He managed to win by nearly 5000 votes, and somehow this was the last time we ever saw Bison. I held out hope he would one day win the Returners Tournament, but it was never meant to be.
