Match # 23 Results
Cloud Strife 59.80%
Midna 20.37%
Miles Edgeworth 12.27%
Axel Steel 7.56%

Cloud destroys the competition here with the second biggest blowout of the round, although he doesn't quite manage to break 60% or match Link here. Midna redeems herself somewhat from her pathetic rookie year, while Axel Steel sets a new record for patheticness by a 10M+ selling character (beating out some GTA character as the former record holder, no doubt.)

Consensus:
Axel Steel - 11.39%
Cloud Strife - 59.13%
Midna - 18.00%
Miles Edgeworth - 11.48%
