especially when he's leading and historically FF7 tends to be slightly better with the day vote.

Indeed. Tifa seems to be the only one who has opposite tendencies.

Tifa confounds me as well... today a thought crept into my mind that I might actually like Tifa more than Aeris in some ways *cries*. If I we're Cloud, I'd have been like "I choose you!" while pointing at both of them.

No one should have really thought his optional status would hurt him by anything worth noting.




I'm just anxious to see where he places after Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus.

Interesting. The 'wrong' stats page had Crono correctly bolded, yet it still displayed MC's percentage. And for once, we actually have the percentage that predicted the loser for a match after the first round.

Hey, if Squall wins, I'm hanging on until at least Mario/Samus, which gives me.....a whopping two more days of glory. Then I need Bowser to beat Snake, and from there it should be smooth sailing until Link disposes of Cloud.
