If it stays like this, I fear there will be mass stuffing on both sides as the match comes to a close. I'm already starting to think that Vincent is cheating, to be completely honest.

Why is that Ulti?He just is more popular than Squall,is that bad?

Cheating because of irregular vote updates or because of the fact that he simply shouldn't be beating Squall?

Ouch. Well, that record still stands.

Ok this match is boring. I'm going back to playing Chrono Cross.

Likely the former. Vincent was the favorite coming into this match, after all (conventional wisdom that a DMC3'd Dante should > Knuckles).

No, I mean that Vincent is being irregular as all hell.

Yeah, the biggest update will be the last one, I guarantee it if it is at like 50-50 towards the end... 1000 for each... heh.

The whole holding Squall at 400 is similar to the 'barriers' that Kefka had thanks to Romero.

The difference is that Squall's not making any real attempts to break through the barriers unlike Vercetti.

I think so too, Ulti....not only does Vincent push Squall back every single time they go at it, but these are huge vote totals for a SFF match...

But hasn't Vincent always been irregular?

I remember people noting the same thing about him during his match with Dante and people blaming it on the fact that he's optional.

Nah, we're still under Frog/Liquid, if only barely. Frog topped out at 460.

It's to be expected from a match as close as this.

Hopefully Cjay is watching the Korean vote...

How boring. I'm going back to playing Tetris. Best soundtrack ever.

Yes, Vincent's match with Dante was also irregular, which is why I'm holding judgments on shenanigans. Still, the suspicion is perhaps warranted. I hope it's not, though.

I honestly think it's due to it being a weekend, so votes by the update will be erratic, rather than people on their normal schedules during the weekdays. I honestly don't think there will be enough votes during the night for Squall to comeback on, with it being Saturday and all. If I recall correctly, weekends are front-loaded as far as voting is concerned. He better start making his move now...

Can't fault Vincent for that last one, either. Squall absolutely BLEW there.
---

Now that I think about it, do you guys think that creativename should add a "total votes per update" column to the poll update? A minor detail, but it would be pretty convenient for pointing out irregularities....

Good idea, mnm. Hopefully creative sees that post.

Gain by Squall, but we're still over Frog/Liquid's peak.
---

Anyone believe that Squall might've had a small boost from CoM?

Squall had a minor role in CoM compared to what he did in KH. I'd expect Cloud to gain more from CoM, actually.

Besides, I find it hard to believe CoM did much of anything. If it did, it should have made Sora stronger as well, and that makes Snake ungodly strong even for me.

Unless you want to believe Snake/Sora SFF...
---

I believe that the match pic helped Snake a lot.

Squall was in CoM?
Wow, I don't remember that game at all, I guess. Was he in Transverse Town or whatever is was called?

CoM?

So put Samus in Sora's place for that match pic, and Snake wins? Oh, God, I wish...
---

*minor CoM spoilers*










Yeah, Squall was in Traverse Town, and he and Sora discover that the Leon there was just a memory of Sora's.

Cloud should have benefitted much more, as he's both usable and extremely abuseable for newbies.

Samus would look cool since she would have her cannon ready.

A Snake fan should take that pic and replace Sora with random characters from the contest. That collection of pictures would actually be quite hilarious.

You can do the simple math in your head pretty easily. I don't think it's necessary.

HUGE spike by Vincent, equally massive downturn by Squall. Lead now over 500.

Blah, Squall can't keep up with Vincent right now. It'll be difficult to come back, I think.

Nah, I don't think being over 500 signifies the beginning of the night vote. Though I do find these trends odd, for BOTH Vincent and Squall.

Barring cheating, Vincent has won this.

Complete opposite of how it was going at 7:30 AM Eastern in which Squall was kicking Vincent's ass.

No, I mean that Vincent is being irregular as all hell.

...?

Vincent has not been that irregular, not any different than Squall has. Honestly, there is cheating in this match -- that's just blatant obvious -- but there isn't any to the degree that one character is seriously being helped more than the other here. This has been going on from the start.

Squall/Luigi rematch: who wins?

I'd pick Luigi for the possible upset. Squall has most likely gone down, while Luigi has gone way up.

---

Man, both of them really seem to be falling in the amount of votes their getting per update.
