Thirty-nine...it's like Bowser's getting right in the face of Solid and says "**** you and your Noble Nine, Snake."

Correct me if I'm wrong, if bowser ended behind by as many votes as he is now wouldn't that still make this the closest any non-noble niner has ever gotten to beating a noble niner? This is a great performance regardless.

okay, I'm officially nervous.

this match is all the better knowing that the noble nine is on the line.

Go Bowser!

Heh, if Bowser wins, and assuming that Mario beats Sephiroth, I'll have missed one match in every round except for the first and the ToC finals - 4 matches in the first round, plus Kirby/Tidus, Vincent/Squall, Mario/Samus, Mario/Crono, and 2005 Champ/Sephiroth.

Oh, and this makes mario look amazing. What if there wasn't nearly as much sff in mario vs. samus as we think? Possible upset over sephiroth?

Just look at the seph performances. Sephiroth NEVER changes.

I think I've been spoiled over the past 2 rounds. Bowser getting this close, and has a chance to beat Snake, and a huge win from Mario = Absolutely fantastic.

If Bowser was to gain 50 votes/update he'll take the lead at around 6pm, just before the night vote, but as Bowser continues to gain it will become harder.

A while ago I recall someone saying that this would either be known as the year of FF7 or the year of nintendo. I think we have our answer.

Slowflake, stop calling matches. It's not like you're eligible to win anything, anyway.

Bowser counters the CQC with a Whirling Fortress. Both characters are DOWN, both characters are fighting like they wanna prove sumthin'! They're making a break for the Homerun Bat...

1000 votes shaved off in 4.5 hours. 8 hours remain, but the kiddie vote will subside soon. Hope this gets interesting, AND there is no cheating.

RIP: Tnote827 - 4/4/2005
SC2k5 - 93/104 (Kefka, Magus (x3), Ocelot, Tidus)

In the past hour, Bowser has gotten an average of 34.5 votes more than Solid each five-minute update. Assuming he keeps this rate up, Bowser wins with 2,161 votes.

FYI, Bowser could only get twelve votes an update and still win.

So what's bowser's quota per update at now? I'd imagine it's gone down considerably, but I don't have a calculator at hand.

I love how Bowser by 9 votes feels like a Snake win.

I'd take Zelda, and nothing today will change that.

Only the Snake is the true hero. Solid Snake to the Final Four!

I'd still pick Zelda over Kirby. I don't care what this match says :P.
