It's because it's close, of course.

*starts listening to "Liberi Fatali"*

Fated children, indeed.

Lead of 17, now.

I'm gonna start marking if you don't stop that. that's trolling.

Liberi Fatali is awesome. shame everything else is downhill from there. :)

UTTER DESTRUCTION BY SQUALL ON THAT UPDATE!

Back on even a crappier name!

Eighteen votes?! Well, that's the point of no return, good night everyone.

Wow, who would have thought Knuckles could possibly be stronger than DMC3'd Dante? o.O
---

Well, is this some indication that maybe Sonic is stronger, too, if Knuckles is?

And it's possible that DMC3 did help Dante, just not overly much.
---

it could potentially look something like this:

Squall: 50.00
Vincent: 49.50
Knuckles: 46.20
Dante: 46.10
Magus: 45.90

etc etc. I made those numbers up, but you could definitely see it.
---
.

Excepting the trash that was Terra and Kerrigan, this could be one of the most evenly matched divisions we've ever seen. In retrospect, it was a total toss-up.
---
Only the Snake is the true hero. Solid Snake to the Final Four!

I've based my Sonic increase thoughts on Knuckles, not Diablo. Diablo helps, sure, but Knuckles is more surprising to me.

Oh, and Geno. But Geno rules! ^_^

How'd the character stats for the Flood Division finish up?

Mighty increase for Squall.

Warden: Talk! What is SeeD all about!?
Squall: ...Flower.

For this match, that update was an explosion.

I blame FF8 SFFing FF7. Squall is obviously on his way to the championship.
---
Only the Snake is the true hero. Solid Snake to the Final Four!

And yes, I said SFFing. The new voter pool obviously acknowledges the total superiority of FF8 and will carry their favorite SeeD to victory.

...still not calling it. <_<
---

Oh, and here are the Flood Division stats:

Crono - 50.00%
Master Chief - 38.71%
Donkey Kong - 38.10%
Tommy Vercetti - 29.15%
Kefka - 28.49%
Sam Fisher - 26.85%
CATS - 23.80%
Zidane Tribal - 23.28%


...Poor Zidane.

if a couple more of those updates happen, I'm going to bed. this is getting anticlimactic if Vincent can take a 200 vote lead, hold it for two hours and then flop. I was hoping for some resistance.
---
.

Somehow I just don't see Zidane falling to CATS, Face Pic or no...
---
Only the Snake is the true hero. Solid Snake to the Final Four!

man, Zidane under CATS. that's so not cool. stupid MC anti-votes.

ff9 has had a bad year. I don't think any game has ever had a worse year.

Whoops, I messed CATS up. He's actually at 24.13% there.

Vincent fights back.

And good gravy, DK 9 percentage points over TV? WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!?
---

okay, it's official. any time I say 'I'm going to bed if..', it never happens. this is because I've been up about 27 hours straight and god hates me.

Perhaps Master Chief's rabid day vote will screw the stats up, no matter what. It's a force that we can't account for, apparently.
---

Master Chief happened. anti-votes are a wild thing.
---

All right, I already gave birth to the idiocy that is 'votals', now I'm patenting MCF (Master Chief Factor), which is a disclaimer on all measurements through him based on anti-votes and his own rabid fanbase.

...LOL.
---

dammit, I should come up with terms. I've been saying that since before the contest. :)

and Vincent wins another. this is more like it.

Man, Saturday's an awful day to have a super close match with my favorite character. I can't stay up 'til the end to see it.

Vincent doesn't seem to get that this match has been declared over and is still putting up a futile resistance.
---

why can't you stay up?

and dammit, Vincent wins another one. one more and I'm out, no matter what.

Squall's just toying with Vincent at this point.
---

funny, I think someone said the same thing about Vincent toying with Squall a few hours ago.

---
.

Wow, Squall's glory might be short-lived...until he starts his comeback against Vincent's comeback. What's this, the tenth for each of them or something? Yeah, yeah, we get it guys, now stop it.
---

Who called a super close match? I did!

It was very clear the way things were shaping up, though. Dante and Knuckles are opponents of similar strengths, and Vincent and Squall beat them in similar fashion.

Well, my analysis called it. Heh, if Squall wins this match at all (since I doubt it'll be by a lot), I'll be 1-for-1 on the Analysis Crew. Huzzah!

Slow doesn't call 'em on the ultra-close matches, IIRC. Unless they're DESTINED to lose, in which he'll call it for them.

Well, I already pity-voted Squall when I thought he was going to lose (<_______<), I have him in my bracket, and my mood swing seems to favor him at the present nanosecond.

With all that being said, GO SQUA--VINC--SQUALL!
---

Depending on the number of people other than me who have Squall winning the division, this match might just put me into the leaderboard.

Assuming Squall wins, of course. :P
