Comments: Batman and Magneto look near unstoppable. Hermione nabs her first win and gives Obi his first loss. Vegeta takes out Bowser narrowly. And Merlin get yet another tie! Scar, at least, is very thankful for a tie and not a loss.

Comments: Batman makes it 5 in a row. Magneto makes a strong case for second, but Vegeta is also giving him a run for his money. No position is out of reach yet though! Theres still 4 more days! Obi ties Bowser and Sherlock whomps Charlie Brown.

I'll admit Hermione and Scar getting trounced to that degree is a tad upsetting, but Batman, Magneto, and Vegeta are awesome, so... wunderbär (or however that's spelled)!

After Hermione, the only characters Batman has left to face are Obi, Magneto, and Vegeta. I still think anything can happen. But those four definitely have the lead.

Oh yeah, I didnt allow the vote changing because it was stated in the rules that vote changing was not allowed. Retrospectively, I believe that rule carried over from the last round and was simply not updated. From now on the rule will be no vote changing after an hour past the original post.
Disclaimer: Even if I allowed the vote changes, no difference in results would have occurred.

It's like everyone took the football away from good ol' Charlie Brown at the last second while giving him a rock. Story of his life. Still, Top Ten is pretty good.

1. Magneto 2. Batman 3. Obi Wan Kenobi 4. Sherlock Holmes 5. Hermione Granger 6. Vegeta 7. Bowser 8. Scar 9. Merlin 10. Charlie Brown
Comments: Magneto goes undefeated and is only tied by Bowser. He is Board 8's Most Excellent Fictional Character!
Batman takes second comfortably. The only blips on his map were Magneto and, a big upset from Hermione.
Obi Wan takes third, with losses to the top two and one surprise loss to the upset queen, Hermione.
Sherlock failed to win in any of his first four matches but won the last five in a row. He tied Hermione.
Hermione could have done great things without so many ties. Had things swung another way she could be sitting at 6-3. She had the most upsets though. Commendable.
Vegeta did the opposite of Sherlock. He went without a defeat in his first five matches then lost his last four.
Bowser was all over the map. He tied Magneto, then barely defeated Merlin, then he lost to Vegeta, then a tie with Obi, followed by losses to Sherlock and...Scar. Then he finishes off Hermione to end the round. This guy was a complete enigma.
Scar managed two wins and a tie. And somehow that got him 8th.
Merlin was a tie machine early, then a losing machine late.
Charlie Brown did miserably.

Also, I want to thank everyone who participated in this thing. It was my first project ever and I enjoyed sticking with it for these few months. I know Im not the most popular on this Board so I deeply appreciate everyone who helped move this contest along with their votes. I had a lot of fun and I like the winner well enough.
A special thanks goes out to 521 for helping keep this bad boy bumped so much. Also, thanks to Gen and Kazbar for their help with bumping. Had fun guys! Until next time!

junk_funk posted... I suppose Ill do some follow up questions if anyone is interested in giving a little feedback.
What did you think of the contests winner?
How did your favorite(s) fair?
Was the Top Ten decent?
Is there anything you might change about the contest for future reference?
1) Should've been Batman! But Swag-neato's pretty cool. 2) (From the point in which I actively voted), Scar failed horribly, Vegeta did okay, and Batman placed second. 3) Yeah, the only truly weak link was Charlie. I would've voted for Snoopy... 4) Dunno
