Sora vs. Tingle.

elwenThe most no-brainer GameFAQs poll ever.
Actually, I'm surprised that, as of this post, Tingle still has almost 25% of the vote. *shudder* I suppose there are some arguments on the part of Zelda fans who refuse to give in to Square even on such a clear case as this. But dude. It's Tingle. Mocking from multiple online comics can't be wrong!
In other news, my entry is faring reasonably well so far -- not too surprising, since the first round isn't usually that hard. Two out of three of my mistakes so far have been from not knowing who one or both of the characters were -- Ada Wong vs. Jade and Celes vs. The Boss. I mean, who the hell is The Boss? I remember having this same problem when I underestimated the popularity of Master Chief. Why can't these people have actual names, dammit? My third mistake was Squall vs. Tidus. I guess I've hung around too many Squall-haters -- and personally, I kind of liked him. I really didn't think Tidus was that unpopular...
It's hard to say this early in the guys' section, but I think I have a better feel for the popularity of female characters. Or maybe it's just because we haven't gotten to any of the really difficult match-ups. It's kind of obvious who will be near the top: Peach, Zelda, Samus. It's harder to pick a single FF girl who will win all the fanboys. I've never known whether Tifa or Aeris is more popular, and while Rikku seems like she has a big cult, it seems FFX overall is less popular than VII or VIII. I'm surprised Rinoa didn't get a spot, since she probably would have made it pretty far, too.
Of course, no one I nominated is included either. [I don't really remember, but there was some Disgaea, and a lot of lesser-known FF characters like Zidane, Kuja, Locke, Edgar, Terra, etc. I don't think I nominated Celes, but maybe I did.]
