When votals are lower, crazy stuff happens and stats become more and more meaningless. Our very first contest match showcased just that, with Mr. Video Game himself, also the overall 1 seed and the "odds-on favorite" failing to triple someone that looks like a Lego character. Might it be possible that people now know Servbot better for his cameo appearance in Dead Rising? Eh, whatever.

74% seemed impressive at the time but it would of course turn out to be a surprisingly low number considering what other characters were doing against characters likely stronger than Servbot. Of course, we now know that Servbot did so well because he was functioning as a joke character of sorts, so maybe Mario is lucky to even break 74%.
