Match # 33 Results
Link 53.34%
Zack Fair 23.90%
Zidane Tribal 12.16%
Wario 10.60%

Round 2! We're already halfway done with the contest... how time flies. As we typically do, we saw Link crushing his enemies, driving them before him, and hearing the lamentations of their women. Zack also advances easily, and getting 24% in any match that includes Link and two other characters is not too shabby.

Consensus:
Link - 50.10%
Wario - 10.76%
Zack Fair - 24.01%
Zidane Tribal - 15.16%

The top 4 remain the same today and creative pads his lead a little bit, but not much since most of the top competitors scored high. The n00b Avenger manages to boot Kaxon out of the top 5, passing me by 0.03 points just one day after I made it back into 5th.
