Considering how debated this match was, the way that it wound up going was somewhat of a letdown for everyone, especially Luigi supporters. But for all of the pre-match hype generated from the match, a small bit of research yielded Yoshi's clear advantage going in. The Bowser/Ness and Squall/Luigi comparison had already been dissected to death by the time this match, but Yoshi's advantage was made even more clear after both characters' performances from the first round were compared. Yoshi's prediction percentage was higher, his vote total was higher, and the total votes from his poll were higher than that of Luigi's. In a match disguised by hype, the math from multiple sources pointed to a Yoshi victory.
