Squall doesn't need to cheat to win this. A particularly strong night vote would do. Lower vote totals would also help.

Squall: ...Flower.

It not like Vincent is bad with the night vote either.

Thinking Squall will get a massive night vote is foolish. Vincent is not bad with it.

Yes, I know. I'm just hoping for a very strong Squall night vote. :P

Wow, so when did Squall roll over and die?

I know Squall will use "Lionheart" and gain at least 800 votes in the last 15 minutes.

Squall needs one hell of a night vote to beat Vincent. Now this match is over.

The match is over in a bit over eight hours. Don't be pessimistic; Squall will catch up. :P

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

one hell of a night vote? That's a slight exaggeration. If the lead keeps building? Yes, it will take a better effort. But the leads still only 626. Frog overcame the same, so it's not as if that's undoable. And yes I know he's not the best choice to bring up, but such a margin can be overcome.

Mario will SFF Samus, and pull it out against Crono.

Squall and Vincent are both Square. Chances are they'll split the night vote.

There is cheating... Both sides are doing it around equally.

Let's see.

With the night vote typically starting at around 19:30. And with the projected final tally of 99,000 using the same average ratio of the other Saturday matches, we'll have about 89.2% of the total votes by the time 19:30 hits. IE 88,300 votes.

Assuming Vincent continues his current 50.4% trend, He'll have a 706 vote lead by then. Meaning of the remaining 10,700 votes, Squall would need a 53.2% average advantage in the night.

And I find that very hard to believe.

Frog overcame the same, so it's not as if that's undoable. And yes I know he's not the best choice to bring up, but such a margin can be overcome.

Frog is very good with the night vote. Squall and Vincent both are nearly as dominate with it as Frog is. Vincent and Squall should keep up this same pattern heading into the night. I don't know why someone would expect a serious change in what we're seeing right now.

And if Vincent continues at this rate, it'll be even worse for Squall.

Yeah, I made that post when Vincent was still back at 600. That was just insane.

Definitely. Squall dropped off and Vincent shot up. Huge win for Vince there.

Well, looking it, it was more Vincent than anything else, but Squall's votes that update were pathetic.

It's funny how Frog caught back up with the Chief during the night but Master Chief just kept up his pace vs Crono. (albeit a tad slowed)

Just because Frog is good with the night vote doesn't mean Crono is too.

They're erratic because he's Vincent, I've concluded. He's a strange mishmash of irregularities, and I suspect we'll see more of the same against Crono.
---

Why are all of Vincent's voting patterns so erratic?

He tends to have a period where he'll be very consistent with his gains and then he'll have a time where he just shoots up and falls back down. Squall experiences the same thing quite often too.

But I think that's how he was against Dante last round too. Not sure, I think someone mentioned it earlier.

your suspicions are wrong, because we'll never have the opportunity to witness Vincent/Crono.

Vincent seems to be running with this now. Everytime Squall does something, Vincent steps it up and raises his lead in a big way.

Good show Squall.

SC2K5: Samus is going all the way!
Vincent vs. Squall- Bracket: Magus - Vote: Vincent (76/84)

In Squall's peak time so far between 3:35 and 4:35, he got 53.5%

If he can manage that through the entire night vote, he has a shot to win.

Improbable if you ask me.

Mercy. There have been a fair share of those from both sides throughout this entire match.

Meh, it's what Vincent does. Either he's always cheating, or never cheating. It could be either one, actually... heh.

I'm seriously laughing at all the people saying Vincent's cheating.

I'm sure there's cheating, but I have no idea why someone would suspect one side is doing it so much more than the other.

---

Both sides have been erratic. I'm not saying that there is no cheating, obviously, but I think that's it around the same for both of them.

Vincent and his occasional sucky updates. Squall knocks off 21 votes bringing his lead down to 659.
