Sonic fans just adore this match. I get it. Sonic's contest history is kinda sad. A cheap shot by Samus, a doubling by Cloud, an uncomfortable hold against Ryu, an embarrassing rematch to Samus and a close loss to Mega Man. This is his one shining moment.

The writing was on the wall when Sonic blew up Luigi (Mario !!) while Crono struggled with Auron. Crono, if I remember right, started doing this thing where he looked good for four hours and then just struggled the rest of the match. You might as well rename Crono to Cialis because he needed urgent help after four hours. He just limped his way through every match. Sonic fans won't like hearing this, but this match is all about Crono, not Sonic.

Sonic went down big to Crono, as expected, but it wasn't enough to put him out of the match. Sonic turned a 2000 vote lead into a 2000 vote win in the matter of 12 hours. It was a great moment for him and a sad moment for Crono.

And... I'm not sure how much it matters in the long run. It certainly fueled the Vincent hype the following year, but Sonic went back to being kinda mediocre and hanging out at the bottom of the N9. But hey, he did better on Snake than Mega Man did, and that's something, right? I almost think that means more because I see Sonic and Mega Man as natural rivals, and the Crono stuff in 2006 was just kinda sad.
