Who is this old dude and what'd he do with Snake??

Strangely enough, Old Snake seemed to overperform for once... maybe after MGS4 people like him better than before? Zero and Vivi both performed about as expected, but Ryu Hayabusa absolutely bombed, finishing with 2/3 as many votes as a guy he beat last round. This along with his match against Snake last year seem to suggest the two share some kind of fanbase...

Consensus:
Ryu Hayabusa - 20.49%
Solid Snake - 38.31%
Vivi Ornitier - 19.84%
Zero - 21.87%

Best Five Picks:
1) yoblazer33 - Ryu Hayabusa 17.00% - Solid Snake 40.00% - Vivi 21.00% - Zero 22.00% (+48.17)
2) blazndragon0 - Ryu Hayabusa 17.65% - Solid Snake 41.11% - Vivi 20.69% - Zero 20.55% (+48.15)

3) SFF_potential - Ryu Hayabusa 14.51% - Solid Snake 39.72% - Vivi 23.62% - Zero 22.15% (+48.08)
5) Gaddswell - Ryu Hayabusa 16.75% - Solid Snake 40.37% - Vivi 22.31% - Zero 20.57% (+47.99)

Yoblazer... this guy is pretty good at predicting (Mario Kart aside). He has the top score today and his 7th top 5 of the contest. blazndragon0 gets second, while Leonhart and SFF_potential tie for third. Gaddswell gets fifth in this tightly packed top 5.
