Ulti's Analysis[]

A visible bandwagon formed for Charizard mid-contest, and when paired with HGSS allowed him to win the Heart division in stunning, convincing fashion. But against FREAKING MARIO, surely his time was done and he'd be lucky to break 40%.

Well, not exactly. Pokemon has long since proven it doesn't really get SFFd anymore, and this match probably hammers that point home best of all. The Zard was never in it to win it beyond the first couple minutes of the board vote, but getting 46.4% on Mario in a day match is no joke. Mario was actually over 54% at one point, but THE ZARD beasted all over Mario's percentage come Pokemon ASV time. Yes he lost fairly easily, but this match was about more than winning or losing. We all knew FREAKING MARIO was going to win. But even in a losing effort, THE ZARD helped Pokemon go out as the star of this contest.

We all know how good Pokemon was, but borrowing from charmander6000's stats probably tells the story best:
