I wish all Vincent fans would just fall off the face of the earth...

Oh? But, why would you ever say something like that? =p

They may trade updates since the overall voting trend is hovering around 50%, but the trend line is still slightly in favor of Vincent.

To compare votals:

Vincent vs. Squall: 60137
MC vs. Crono: 47664
Mario vs. Zero: 65859

This match isn't doing bad.. =)

Oh, I get it. People think those two 40 vote gains for Squall were sketchy. Check out Vincent's vote total for the second one.

Why do you make an overly joyful comment every time Vincent gains one vote, and top it off with tons of hearts and smilies that make Rikku look goth? The world may never know.

Okay, it didn't happen. Anyway, I'm just assuming that's what Ulti was complaining about. I really don't think there's any cheating, though it would've been funny if Squall did it again.

Go Squall, go!

I don't know why people prefer comeback matches to wire-to-wire matches...w2w are so tense, you have no idea where the momentum is going to go next. Comebacks are usually telegraphed, especially big ones. = /

Though obviously I'd rather have both in one match... = P

Because it's Vincent, obviously. Him winning an update deserves to be talked about, from one vote to 100 votes. He's awesome like that. The hearts just show the happiness. <3


So, what, you have a problem with people who are happy? Pssh.

They can often be too tense, especially if you like one character more then the other by a large degree.

Comebacks are more relaxed and I prefer it that way.

well this match never went over 52% for one character. this is truly a classic in the making. this match will become many's favourite because of what happened before we got to the actual match.

the magus/squall debates, the praising of vincent after flattening kerrigan,the dante/vincent match, the thought that knuckles>magus>squall, everything from the devil division has created one hell of a match

...Okay, no. Squall doesn't "look good" here because the two have been going nearly even for the entire match. He isn't going to receive any sort of shift at night that would favor him more than Vincent. Again, Vincent isn't the one who has to worry about building a lead for later. The longer this goes on between the two, the closer it gets to Vincent's victory. Squall needs to be slicing votes off and not letting Vincent get them back if he's going to win this, or at least slice off votes at a more constant rate. Letting Vincent get them all back and then starting to slice again doesn't help Squall.

From a completely unbiased observation, you guys need to stop making excuses for Squall. It doesn't matter how much time he has left if Vincent gains back every vote Suqall takes away.

Also, HM, your Vincent fanboyism is more annoying than everyone elses Suqall fnaboyism put together. Stop it.

It's just the happy characters you like that suck, see. And they tend to not be nearly as interesting as other characters, with a few exceptions.

400 votes is hardly a tough barrier to overcome at this point. I can't believe people are already calling this for Vincent. Squall could go like... 50.25% for the rest of the match and still win.

...What excuses? Squall's got plenty of time to take off 400 votes.

Speaking of which, 22 votes off for Squall. Vincent had under 200 on that update.

Squall takes it back down to 402 votes -- shaved off about 22 votes. That was more because of Vincent sucking than Squall jumping though.
