(1) Mario > (3) Xenoblade
(3) Metroid > (1) Persona - MP4 hype should make this easy
(1) Pokmon > (3) Resident Evil
(2) Smash Bros. > (1) Final Fantasy - Ultimate will have died down, but never count out the Melee fanbase. would a rally even be needed though, after what we saw happen to everyone except Cloud/Tifa/Vivi?

(1) Mario > (3) Metroid - sorry Samus, unless it's MP4 release day you'll never get over this hump
(1) Pokmon > (2) Smash Bros. - Pokemon Switch will be just around the corner while Ultimate will have died down, but should be close regardless

(1) Mario > (1) Pokmon - the one Nintendo thing in the bracket Mario can't SFF, should make for the best Grand Finals since GotD

Overall Trends: The voterbase is smarter (and smaller) than ever so respect voting for what they consider "real series" will be through the roof. That means good things for your Castlevanias and Resident Evils of the world, bad for things with just one strong entrant like CT, BioShock, Fallout.

They're also super tuned in to gaming news and the latest industry trends, so they're turn their backs on recent series that have been abandoned or whose latest entrant left gamers sour. And they'll also be more susceptible to HYPE when a series has an exciting new release coming out soon.

Regarding Final Fantasy... I'd have no problem with people calling it the favorite versus anything not named The Legend of Zelda. But if the bracket comes together like MetalMind set it up, I think the series is doomed because I can't see it running the Nintendo Gauntlet. A close win over Smash would leave Nintendo fans upset and out for revenge, if it then knocked off Pokemon a couple days later they'd be screaming for blood and shouting "Final Fantasy Always Wins!" at the top of their lungs heading into the Mario showdown.
