I said VILLAINS.

Whether or not Magus is a villain is entirely up to the player and/or how you choose to go through the game.

Magus shouldn't be a villain to anyone. He should be a god to everyone.

Glove's lead was 224 3 minutes ago? It's now 265-ish.

If Master Hand does so much as hit the 350-lead mark at any time once the after-school votes start, I believe that'll be the breaking point of Kuja. There's less than an hour until then though, and MH is almost at 300 as-is. Kuja's best hope is to go toe-to-toe with the glove during the after-school hours, and hope he gets a steady pace going in his favor after that.

50 vote swing in five minutes. That's got to hurt Kuja.

After spending two and a half hours trying to break 200, MH looks like MC and hits 300 in 35 minutes

Uhg, live by the board, die by the board. I had Robotnik over Kuja in the second round but changed it after some minor convincing. Now if he can even beat the hand, he will have another tough match.

We need to get back to real characters, these scrubs vs scrubs are annoying.

At the 11:10 mark, this match has 30952 votes. To compare to other matches at the same time:

Wily/Ultros - 31498
Kefka/Mithos - 30093
Albedo/Bison - 29048
Robotnik/Sin - 30172

And Kuja's starting to bring the margin back down after Master Hand hit 300.

...I feel dumb; this WAS The right topic, heh.


Scrubs versus scrubs RULE; when most characters have a good shot of winning one match in a normal contest, scrubs do not. This is their chance to win not one, but TWO, and we don't know how in the hell they're gonna perform. Give me Kuja/Hand over Link/Cloud any day of the ****ing week.

Actually, Link/Cloud should be interesting this summer. If the contest starts August 1st, Advent Children is released right in the middle.
---

By the way, I highly doubt that Kuja is stronger than Sin. I'd feel mighty good if I had Robotnik in my bracket.

This is what I've been saying all week.

This could be the closest wire to wire match ever at this rate. The two seeds are really messing up my bracket. Especially if Wily goes and wins as well.

I'd still take Link; I've made my stand about FF:AC not being a great boost to Cloud or Sephiroth already, right or wrong.

Thank the lord, I come home 5 hours later to find 50 votes behind turn into a few hundred vote lead, expected, but still good to see.

Hype is at its highest at the very beginning. The boost would probably be temporary, but still enough.

That's a lead of 351 guys...I'm not gonna call it now by any means and act like it's final, but, I don't think Kuja'll recover.

Yes, because 350 is an impossible margin to recover from.

I agree that'd be when it'd help the most, but I still think it'd be just short of what Cloud would need to beat Link this year.

Master Hand attacks Kuja with "schools are letting out"

It's super effective!

*Taps on your shoulder and points* My tuba!

anyone's got HM's quote on our insanity for picking that? =)

Believe he called us "clinically insane" and "the three crazies" (though I think there's actually four or five of us, if I'm not mistaken). The match ain't over yet though, even if our point's been proven.....

From voting for Link because of a movie? Probably not, though I'm certain it'd be close.

Waking up and seeing Master Hand winning is worth a good laugh. And there's 8 or 9 of us in the Gurus.

No matter how this one goes, I'm happy to have proven my point on both Sin and Master Hand...

And you think Link fans aren't Cloud fans already? It's extremely obvious that their fanbases overlap by a lot.
---
Hi,I'm partystar. ^_^

Yeah, the best part about him calling us clinically insane, is I think Mumei sigged it, might have been someone else. Nothing quite like shoving things in peoples face, after something like that.

---

As a fan of both of them, I wouldn't think so...but I'm also in the minority, as I don't have much interest in seeing FF:AC.

If Master Hand wins, I believe I'll have someone's head.

I was here when the bracket was announced by CJayC, and I'm positive I was the first to suggest that Master Hand could beat Kuja. I kept trying to tell you FF9 fans that Kuja is NOT a popular villain. Sheesh. That's the last time I let the board change my mind about something.

You can take it. If Kuja loses, I won't want it.

To be honest, I had to think longer about picking Kuja over Master Hand than any match in the contest.

Sometimes I'm happy to have them, but more often than not, I find myself hating them. What, you say? Limits.

I don't think I was the first (though I know I was among the quickest to point it out), but I know I've had him since day one.

Thinking about it, I'd be willing to bet that MH has the brackets behind him, and by a lot.
---
But my silent fears have gripped me, long before I reach the phone, long before my tongue has tripped me. Must I always be alone?

I pegged the glove to win two matches right at the start. I never thought MH was as weak as people say it is. I'm sure others felt the same way.

Magus was never a villain. He's an anti-hero.
