There was a lot of upset discussion going into this match, based off of 2005 stats: Snake (2005c) VS Squall (2005c) Snake has a strength of 36.97. Squall has a strength of 35.16. Snake wins with 52.45% of the vote! A win of 4,945 with 100,996 total votes cast. Assuming a standard Snake tank-job (happens every year) paired with a potential KH2 boost for Squall, you end with a longshot upset and some noisy fans throwing numbers around. It all made enough sense, but that's.... why they play the games. But from the silver lining department: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=955
