LOL more people had Master Chief winning and he barely won his match. Crono only had 61% and nobody had a chance in hell of stopping him from getting to round 3.

This is excellent. Dante will probably still lose, but Vincent's not going above 55%, which means Squall will beat him. I'll take that.

A 50 vote lead at the first freeze. This sorta reminds me of Sora/Alucard. It's unlikely Dante will hold this, but it's kinda exciting.

Yup even if he does lose it was nice to see Vincent losing the board vote.

Personally, I think Dante is just getting a lot of early bracket votes. This would seriously be one of the biggest upsets of all time if it held, but I doubt it will. Dante likes to choke against any decent competition.

I don't expect Dante to win by any means, but if he can keep Vincent from doubling him, Sonic should most likely beat Tifa. Then Vincent would stand no chance against Crono and Samus should win the contest.

Can't think of a good sig.

It's the first 5 minutes adn it features a FF character. this is the group so hated by the boards that CATS managed to win a 15 minute update against the eventual champion. There's nothing to learn from five minutes of this match.

Awesome. My Squall > Vincent pick is looking pretty good right now. I still think Vincent is going to turn on the jets soon though.

Everybody with a score of 13 or lower got the match wrong. Another perfect performace by the -1s. The -2s once again do a bit poorly. From the -3s down for a few tiers it's pretty good.

Ten people fell off the Top 50 today. Skooo, soviotunion, Ninjanick51, Orange_of_Doom, Biske_La_Varet, Vazor, GreatMasterNCA, Grevlin, thewhitehippo and TreverB did not have Crono winning today.

This is...odd. It's not really comparable to Cloud/CATS, as that has the biggest board vote and the biggest anti-voted characters combined. Vincent won the board vote decisively against Kerrigan...why would Dante be any different?

Oh, well, the next update will tell the true tale, hopefully.

Not really. We had no clue where Vincent would place in this contest, and we still don't have much of a clue where he would place. Maybe Kerrigan is that weak?

Anyways, Knuckles > Magus will always be my favorite.

Either you're joking or you're clueless. Vincent went from 72% at the 5 minute mark to 79% at the 24 hour mark. This is his worst time, just like it is for all FF7 characters. He'll improve by significant amounts in short order.

Vincent promptly says "it's quiet time, *****" to Dante. By all means, he should build upon this from here on out, but I'll stick around for another update.

"Called it."

Sadly, my friend, you only needed half a wit to call it. Now the lack of people expecting Vincent to win the board vote or not lose it badly is, well, disturbingly large.
---

I still would call 72% a decisive lead, regardless of how it compares to the final percentage. If FFVII was simply reviled by the majority of the board, Vincent would have been losing at the beginning no matter what.

I think 55% (or thereabouts) is the best Vincent can hope for at this point, meaning the next round is a complete toss up.

No one ever estimated Kerrigan to equal Dante, though. Of course he had the lead, his opposition was extremely weaker. That's just common friggin' sense.

Calling the percentage from here seems a little early. Let's wait and see for a few updates to see exactly how much Vincent can truly be a beast.
