Loser Bracket Semifinal

Cloud VS Mario
Cloud(50.24%) defeated Mario(49.76%)

This result I didn't expected. Cloud has fallen from the early contests and Mario has constantly new games. Plus Odyssey came last year and it is considered perhaps the best Mario game. Plus the new Smash game is out. So I thought that Mario would win with at least 53% here. But Cloud did it!

These 2 have fought in the first ever contest where Mario won because he had a HUGE rally(big for how things were back then of course) and a new Mario game the same day that they fought! And he barely won back there too! Also he beat Crono in a controversial match too and from back then he became the villain of the contest. The contest only, not in games obviously. But after he beat Samus 2 times in this contest and in the 2nd time with the last update it seems most people wanted him to lose rom the board at least. And he did lose!

So for the actual match. Mario was winning from the start of course. But Cloud was always right behind him. Mario lead was around 310 votes and then Cloud started cutting but Mario begun gaining and his lead maxed out at 335. But Cloud started cutting and cutting but after a while Mario started gaining again. He is a fighter! The Cloud got serious and started cutting and eventually after almost 20 hours he went ahead and started pulling. Mario tried to cut, but the best he could do is stall. So eventually Cloud managed to won. Mario clutch didn't saved the day!

So yeah Cloud took revenge after 16 years! I know his power comes from Smash now but I don't care. He still has it! I think there was a rally for Cloud too though, because he did much better with anonymous votes than the registered ones. Still nice to see someone non Nintendo win you know. FF7 man! Still has power! If only we FF 7 remake, or KH 3! If the FF 7 cast is in there at least.
