Joe's Analysis
Before the match began, when I was looking at the bracket, I thought that maybe this would be good. I mean, Pac-Man is one of the most easily recognized characters ever. Even though he was the 8-seed, I felt that we could have another close match. At first, this seemed to be true. The poll was dead even for about twenty votes, and I thought it would become another Kirby vs Luigi.

Then, Mario blinked. He had enough of the 8-bit yellow pizza, and pulled ahead. Way ahead. Thirty votes ahead. Pac-Man didn't stand a chance; Mario was completely obliterating him. I was relieved to finally close the poll before Pac-Man took serious damage from the annihilation he was receiving at the hands of Mario.

I was a little shaken after Mario couldn't even get 70% on L-Block, who is NOT a character, and thought this match could be close. This match has removed my doubt, Mario deserved his 1-seed. When you can prevent FREAKING PAC-MAN from even getting 40% on you, that is pretty impressive.
