Even back when Cloud was a true elite and wasn't almost losing full 24 hour matches to Solid Snake, he would always get jumped on at the very beginning. But rather than get beat early by Jill or Ocelot, two characters of decent strength, the entire poll was losing early to.... the Midgar Zolom. Yeah. The match of note here was Ocelot vs Jill, but that wasn't as close as the score suggests. Ocelot won by 3000, was never threatened and without Cloud sucking up all the votes he probably wins even easier.
