Match # 58 Results
Link 36.43%
Sephiroth 31.48%
Mario 22.24%
Vincent Valentine 9.85%

Surprising results! Somehow, Link did only 1.52% better against Sephiroth, Mario, and Vincent than he did against Sephiroth, Mario, Cloud, and Snake last year. Mario on the other hand nearly doubled his percentage from that match, while Sephiroth more than doubled his thanks to the absense of Cloud today. Vincent appeared to be SFFed worse than expected, unless this was Last Place Factor raising its head again.

The consensus predictions were Link - 39.20%, Sephiroth - 29.04%, Mario - 17.85%, and Vincent - 13.83%. The average score was 46.07 points.
