At least Tsunami is getting much closer!

Surprised people took Seph's win as a sign of him being strong rather than Nathan not being top 25 caliber. Doesn't he usually do poorly in these things?

He beat a top 25 character and is undefeated. If he's as weak as he usually is, he won't last that long.

Two separate matches pitted two of my "just outside the top 25"s against each other--#28 Commander Shepard over #27 Urdnot Wrex and #29 Dick Gumshoe over #32 The Boss. Shep looks like s/he should be in, but Gumshoe still needs some help.

Just a possibly unnecessary heads up, Numbers voted for Ike Greil. Which I think is how you actually spell his name, but it seems like the type of thing Excel might miss.

16 - Maya Fey (Ace Attorney, Metal Gear ACE) (2-2, 0-1) 32.0%

Notes
This was the most intense day of the season. Snake/Edgeworth and Bowser/Yoshi traded the lead repeatedly at the end, and the final few votes swung them in favor of Bowser and Edgeworth.
Deposed Magus scores the upset on newly-crowned Sephiroth. Poor Seph always gets upset somehow.
Prinny almost had that one. So close!
So...who's gonna vote Link into the Top 25 this week? Huh? Tell me. Show of hands. He's weaker than Kay Faraday and Kanji Tatsumi now, the x-stats say.

Wait people actually voted Sephiroth into the Top 25 this week? Why?

I guess I wasn't paying much attention so I haven't noticed until now, but Sephy is way too polarizing to be a top 25 character.

He's amazingly badass in the Mario Galaxy games, and he's supposedly a really good character in the Mario RPGs (from what I've seen of Super Mario RPG, this is very true).

Also how the heck does Samus beat Kirby while Link can't beat some stupid racer?
