And Snake almost wins ANOTHER update! Pushing for 46% now...!

Hey, let me have my fun, okay?

Point well taken.

The Dream & Gear divisions are gonna look fabulous if Snake avoids a snuffing by Mario.

Then again, the bracket wasn't set up to be even for my personal picks.

Solid Snake is kicking some ass right now. I expected 56 - 44 when all was said and done.

“A pro isn’t someone who sacrifices themselves for a job. That’s just a fool.” – Reno

He won an update. WTG.
---
Uh oh, they started moving their legs back and forth while standing in place. You're about to fight aren't you? - My friend watching me play FFT

Thinking about it, Harle could in all liklihood edge out 3 of those cahracters for an elite 8 spot. Quistis, Yuffie, and Crono could all fall to her.
---
I once made a sig bet with TRE that Ganon wasn't actually over 31 on BL. The jury's still out on the pigman, but props to TRE 'cause I'm a believer again.

Snake won another update a bit back. He's on target to break 46% next update. *crosses fingers*
---
For the first time ever, Solid Snake has made the Final Four! Believe it.

And he flat out wins it to take him over the hump.

He was also 2 short from winning the actual 15 minute update, too. Impressive.
---
For the first time ever, Solid Snake has made the Final Four! Believe it.

Snake has taken off 47 votes in the last ten minutes!!! O_O

Hoo...if I didn't know how much he was going to suck with the day, I'd be calling a comeback here... <_<
---

3 in a row. Very nice.

LOL, he smashed Mario that 15-minute update. Keep it up, Snake.
---

Mega Man pulled it out of the bag? Get in! He was doomed when I left, and Sonic lost the day vote? Excellent. Game on.
---
Jon Thomson - MARIO, Samus, SOLID SNAKE, Bowser, CRONO, Squall, Sonic, MEGA MAN

And yet another 15 minute update for the Solid one. Goddamn it, Snake, why does your day vote have to absolutely blow? You could be a contender with a decent one!
---

Snake may not be able to make the impossible possible tomorrow afternoon, but he's durn sure making a go of it.

So the xtstats might say Bowser AND Kirby>Samus

When this happened, all of us got PWND by Smurf

... I think Snake pissed Mario off.

But that didn't stop Snake from winning an update again.

Mario's getting into gear now, erasing virtually all of Snake's hard work over the last half hour. >_< Snake has to basically give it all he's got here to push this over 47% before the day vote hits, and from there it's just weathering the storm to respectability...

So, it's nice that he won that last update at least. <.<
---
For the first time ever, Solid Snake has made the Final Four! Believe it.

Wow, Snake is doing a lot better than I thought. Mario might be able to bring it under 45% with the day vote, but it won't be easy, I think.

For the record, Mario through Snake (Sp2K5 Bowser) = 37.87%, barely even above his 2004 value.

"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."

Oh, and I guess it's safe to say that Mario won't be beating Sephy, right? Heck, the finals aren't even a lock anymore, perhaps.
---
"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."

No one wants to know that! We want to know Snake through Mario on an adjusted Zero. >= (

*points you at a potential pic factor last round and an inevitable pwning of Snake with the day vote*
---
For the first time ever, Solid Snake has made the Final Four! Believe it.

Well, since you asked:

Snake through Mario (unadjusted Zero): 38.16%
Snake through Mario (adjusted Zero): 42.40%

Kirby (unadjusted) - 36.10%
Kirby (adjusted) - 40.11%
---
"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."
"Building the future and keeping the past alive are the same thing."

I don't really care what Mario does with the day vote. He's not pushing anywhere close to 60% here. Heck, he's not even close to that on his updates right now.
---
"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."
"Building the future and keeping the past alive are the same thing."

Snake at 42%? I approve. I approve very much.

*looks at Mario leap over a 1000 vote lead*

;_;
---
For the first time ever, Solid Snake has made the Final Four! Believe it.

And for the record, it's Mario's morning vote that's good, not his day vote.
---
"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."
"Building the future and keeping the past alive are the same thing."

Well either one is better than Snake's
---
Uh oh, they started moving their legs back and forth while standing in place. You're about to fight aren't you? - My friend watching me play FFT

I'm just saying that whatever Mario does with his morning vote should be about it. He won't gain that much with the day.
---
"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."
"Building the future and keeping the past alive are the same thing."

Well, I'm sort of also coupling in the fact that Snake is going to suck all day long...so yeah, he won't be getting pwned quite as bad come the day, but he's getting hammered through and through.
---
For the first time ever, Solid Snake has made the Final Four! Believe it.

I figure he'd probably collapse almost as much as he did against Bowser. Meaning Mario could theoretically end up with about 57%.
---
Uh oh, they started moving their legs back and forth while standing in place. You're about to fight aren't you? - My friend watching me play FFT

57%? Maybe.
---
"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."
"Building the future and keeping the past alive are the same thing."

Or perhaps today's weekend will be kind to Snake.
---
Uh oh, they started moving their legs back and forth while standing in place. You're about to fight aren't you? - My friend watching me play FFT

I dunno. Mario should be doing his best right around now since we're closing in on the morning vote, and few of his updates have breached 57%.
---
"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."
"Building the future and keeping the past alive are the same thing."

Yes, I do take comfort in that today's day vote (and voting in general) is going to be significantly front-loaded, so the worst should be over relatively soon. From there Snake can coast to respectability...respectability!
---
For the first time ever, Solid Snake has made the Final Four! Believe it.

Hmmm...Touche, Mario. Touche.
---
"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."
"Building the future and keeping the past alive are the same thing."

But damn, he could try a little to not get owned so hard right now...
---
For the first time ever, Solid Snake has made the Final Four! Believe it.

Yes! Gain Mario! Gain you little italian you!

And impressive performance by Snake.

MARIOWNED

*eyes bulge*
---
"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."
"Building the future and keeping the past alive are the same thing."

Damn, Snake isn't even faltering here, it's just that Mario is flat out EXPLODING. Hold on, Snake, just a few hours and then the worst is over...
---
For the first time ever, Solid Snake has made the Final Four! Believe it.

Wow, that last update made him have over 60%...

Don't over-do yourself...a lot of things > Samus is neat.
---
MARIOWNED

Whew, that was a little better, Snake.
---
"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."
"Building the future and keeping the past alive are the same thing."

LOL. Mario at 54%

Fight, Snake! Make it respectable! Even win updates during the day for NO REASON WHATSOEVER! If Sonic can do it with the first night vote against Mega Man, why can't you?
---
For the first time ever, Solid Snake has made the Final Four! Believe it.

Well, it looks like Snake was just a little late picking up his vote total.
---
"A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own."
"Building the future and keeping the past alive are the same thing."

Having examined the results so far, here's my prediction of what the x-stats will turn out like. (BTW nobody has a shot aganist Sephy now.)

1. Link
2. Cloud
---
3. Sephiroth
---
4. Mega Man
5. Sonic
6. Mario
----
7. Snake
8. Crono
9. Bowser
----
10. Samus
----
11. Tifa
12. Vincent
13. Squall
14. Zero
15. Dante
16. Knuckles
17. Ganon

Adjusting it, I'd push Samus into 4th and Ganon into 11th.

^ Smurf, The cream of Sonic fanboyism.

54-46 at the start of the day vote? I can take that. However, if Snake came back to his 2003 level, then Mario/Samus may have been our first case of rSFF, and a big one at that, based on this.
---
What online fan couldn't get behind Trevor Murdoch? I mean, finally, a wrestler with our physique! -Sean Carless

I don't think Crono will end up lower than Snake
And Sonic over Mario? You're just being biased, here
---
BLAAHAHEHAHRHAJHEKLAKHHEWUHG!!!!!~!!1?? -Tombs
LOL more like Samus ArOWNED

Crono could be the weak link of the Noble 9 this year... he's performed as such in his last two matches, at least. Sonic and Megaman all had their moments, and Snake was solid all throughout the contest.
