YES! 25 vote increase for Squall!

Amazing how in any other match that would be one of the most minimal of gains...
---

Well, it makes a big difference here as Squall essentially doubled his lead. I think update wins of this size might be hard to come by today.

Oh, and we're now in what is considered "morning vote" territory. Let's see who it favors.

How are the votals holding up compared to the other matches?

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

We're about 400 behind Mario/Zero, so...pretty good.

It's as if Nintendo/Nintendo matches were the only ones with the low vote total schtick.

Zelos: Half the world's girls are destined to become my servants of love!
Presea: The probability of that is... infinitely close to zero.

Squall stalls Vincent's comeback with another healthy gain. We're in for a long, *long* match...
---
Only the Snake is the true hero. Solid Snake to the Final Four!

Looking back at your analysis, Leonhart, you really did predict far too much of a blowout. <_<
---
Only the Snake is the true hero. Solid Snake to the Final Four!

Yeah, but I'll still get the point if Squall wins...

I know...

And this might be one of those matches where SFF makes the difference between winning and losing...

Back and forth they go. Here's hoping Squall's still in the lead when I come back in a few hours.
---

You know, I still think Squall will win this, and have thought so since Vincent/Dante, but we Vincent pickers really deserve a pat on the back for going with a newcomer into the Quarterfinals. Either way, it's going to be close.
---
There's always someone better.

A question from a person who only has been following the contests in depth recently: Has there been a match in the past that has gone virtually 50/50 up to this point like this?

Squall is slowly gaining now. Fight back, Vincent!

That's right. Cloud N. Candy would get a NEGATIVE percentage, and RPGuy's extrapolated calculator would crash. - therealmnm

Has there been a match in the past that has gone virtually 50/50 up to this point like this?

Frog/Liquid Snake and CT/LttP. Still, this would be the closest wire-to-wire match we've ever had if neither gets above Vincent's peak lead.
---

Wow, you guys filled up a stats topic overnight, poo.

So, looks like Vicnent lead for the night, and now Squall has caught up and the 2 are going 50-50. Cool.

Finally, a match that looks like it's going to be back-and-forth all day. Weee!

*checks match updates for said matches*

Wow. This a long way to go to get anywhere near the level of those matches, but neither seems to be able to grab the morning vote thus far. Interesting to note how all 3 have involved Square in some form.
---

So I wake up to see Leonhart single-handedly attempting to fill up a stats topic... oooh, and Squall with a .04% lead. Just... wow. This is a lot closer than I thought it would be. Here's to hoping another classic in the making, and not MH/Kuja part II.

This whole back-and-forth thing is getting ridiculous. Hope someone gets a sizable lead soon.

So much for Tnote's "FF Main character > FF side character" SFF....

He has a quote from me telling him that Vincent would in no way receive a beating by SFF here. =p

<In Pedro Cerrano voice> LOOK AT THE SCORE...BOARD... NOW... GRASSHOPPER!

Ok, like I said, it's not as much of a lead as I would have thought, which to me just says that I underestimated FFVII. Which, mind you, is a very difficult thing to do on this website.

Big gain there for Vincent! He brought the lead from 63 to 16!


Go Vince!

Vincent with a 4 vote lead! He's won three updates now! <3

And it would appear that I missed Leonhart being here. Quite funny that the two of us can't manage to be on here at the same time for this match. =p

---

So far this match has been pretty exciting, hope it stays that way.

---
As much as I want to put something original about the Guru Contest here, I can't, because Yoblazer owned me way too hard.

Well, it looks like most of the Squall supporters, like Leon, are sleeping.

Vincent is using this time to own some Leonhart.

Stupid Squall; this is not lookin' good at all. At least I will not be around most of the day to watch Vincent run away with the day vote...

So, too slightly halt the update topic-ness, I have a question,

After seeing Chief get 38%+ on Crono, what are you guys expecting from the winner of this match to get on the Mute Wonder?
---
SC2K5: Samus is going all the way!

I'd have to say I want Vincent to win this, as there will be less people that have the division right in that case <_<
---
Currently: 75/84 | Next: Magus
On the plus side, if I'm lucky it will be the last match I miss

I couldn't sleep just yet.

Two more updates. -_-

---

No HM post about how Squall added 50% to his lead, bringing it to the insermountable 11? <_<

Damn, it's too bad I have to leave in a few hours. This one is looking to be amazing. Go Vincent!
---
This is not a sig, just felt like writing something down here.

Squall regains the lead!

---
Warden: Talk! What is SeeD all about!?

alright i don't feel so stupid about having squall taking his division. if only i had done ganondorf>auron>big boss i would have had 75 points now. i'm still punching myself for doing that mistake
---
What a 42 carat plonker you really are~del boy only fools and horses

When was the last time that updates seemed to go to someone seemingly randomly?

In most recent close matches I remember, fluctuation in the day/night votes mostly had one character gaining for large blocks of time. Not very often do we get something like this.

Yet another lead change. Great stuff.

Awesome match: hopefully they split the rest of the morning,day vote and night vote evenly.

So what was the reason for the small but consistent lead of Vincent during the 1st night vote. Bracket voting?

God, Vincent. Stay down! :P

Anyway, good night (morning...Whatever.) board 8.
