Not sure if you know this creativename, but your site missed some of the newer match pics.

I was unaware of that! Much appreciated Starion. I've put 28 and 29 up.

And damn it feels good knowing that trying to get a character in for two years pays off when that very character has some solid strength.

"Solid strength"...heh, talk about your understatements :)

Kilroy:There fate will be in each other's hands as they decide whether to share or to shaft

Would a quadrupling be too much to ask?

Probably. Remember, that's the equivalent of jumping from a doubling to a tripling. It requires a much higher intake of votes.

Now 77-78% is very possible, considering FFVII is usually a beast with the day vote.

Alright, here's a question for ya:

Vincent or Zelda?

how are the vote totals coming along anyway?

Never say never, especially with what we're seeing. Kerrigan may pathetically collapse during the day to the point where her performance at this hour looks good.

Vincent, easily!

Well, similar to Terra/Dante, this is both character's strongest times, isn't it?

This is usually FFVII's weakest, actually. FFVII/CT were neck and neck for several hours. Samus was very close to Cloud in the early hours. We all remember Sephiroth vs. Ganondorf and Bowser.

They REALLY take off once morning hits.

This topic is like a Vincent Party right now.

And I'd take Vincent over Zelda.

I see Vincent getting about 60% on Dante, which seems more impressive to me than 60% on Vivi.

Vincent or Zelda?

Without a doubt I would pick Vincent. My confidence in him after this match has increased tenfold.

If Vincent got 55% on Dante(2k4) next round and tripled Kerrigan, that would put her between Laharl and Lara Croft, and Vincent just below 2k4 Bowser.

If you assume Terra > Ultros = Kerrigan, then that puts Vincent almost equal to 2k4 Bowser, and at 56% or so against 2k4 Dante.

.nS) quote of the week:
"I have come to the conclusion that from now on your tournament should be referred to as TSCBWGFAQSTOC for short." - Snowster

Next year's Vincent is going to be stronger than all but the top 4 or 5 characters. He wins the award for strongest newcomer, unless Tifa really surprises us all...

(though after this, maybe I wouldn't be surprised)
---
Currently sitting pretty at #3 on the leaderboard
For the final day... Kerrigan, you have failed me.

Vincent getting 45% makes him stronger than Aeris. I'm not quite ready to buy that yet.

Uh-huh. Kerrigan absolutely *had* to hit Vincent fast, hard, and early, instead of dissolving into a purple puddle of suck early into the first hour.

and he keeps going up.

dante/vincent is gonna be quite a match. the devil division has got to be the single best division in the entire contest
---
Kilroy:There fate will be in each other's hands as they decide whether to share or to shaft

I maintain that Dream > Devil, but this is definitely a great division.

Hillary Clinton: We need to treat violent video games the way we treat tobacco or alcohol.
Lewis Black: Namely as valued contributors to our re-election fund.

Tifa should be scaring people who care about their brackets and don't have her beating Sonic.

Not saying that Sonic shouldn't still be the favorite—I'd still put Sonic over her, I think; and he's almost certainly the favorite among most of us. But if you care about your bracket, that match has to put some fear in you right now.

And I hope no one says we're giving too much weight to the early result of one match, because firstly this is a great result, and secondly Tifa vs. Sonic was discussed before the contest as a potentially good pick. It's just that few of us had the guts to go with it.

Either way, you can't go wrong with either the Dream or Devil Divisions. They both look to be exciting.
---
Squall Leonhart's Road to the Summer Contest 2005 Championship
Round 1: (7) Geno

For Vincent to have a shot at Magus, assuming Magus = 2k4 and Dante = 2k4, he needs to get 60.87% on Dante next round.

Sonic/Tifa doesn't worry me very much. Tifa needs to be a good deal stronger than Aeris for her to win that match.

This is awesome. I love Kerrigan and Vincent both, and at this point I'd be ecstatic if Vincent did manage the Quadrupling...

Right now, I'd probably take Vincent over Snake.

*Claims KG's Eclair & Millia Rage*

BTW, this match has got to easily set the record for biggest skew ever between level of discussion and proportion of the result.

i.e., this has got to be the worst hype/result match ever. Maybe Mario vs. Link is a contender, because that was so much more important.

Sonic would be expected to get a little over 55% on Aeris now (remember he's stronger than when he faced her in 2003), for the record.

I would probably take Aeris over Vincent now. That might change, but I need more.

I need to put something here.

Would anybody still take Aeris over Vincent?

Before this match even began, I called for Vincent to be above her and every other FFVII character not named Cloud or Sephiroth.
