If Celes goes down again the next update, I'll call it over. Otherwise...a very outside shot.

Heh, I might be actually right in this being a Vergil/Ghaleon affair!

Well, if The Boss is going to ruin Celes, I'm going to hope for her to have some measure of strength and do respectably against Tifa!

The Boss is utterly dominating. I need to vomit...

You think only one person has Sora winning?

o_____O. No, out of the perfects remaining after Dante/Ryu Hayabusa, one perfect will fall!

Meh, I don't mind The Boss winning at all. I love the hell out of MGS3 even though I still need to go ahead and beat it.

This is why you're not ecstatic about The Boss winning.

It's just that the rampant Metal Gear fanboyism in this topic makes me anti-Metal Gear as far as contests are concerned. <_<

Depending on who you pay attention to, perhaps. Stop looking at me! =/

Also, assuming The Boss finishes with 55% (going for a low estimate here) and Celes approximately equaling Terra, that means that she's significantly stronger than BB. Finishing at 57% would make her equal to Ocelot.

Wow. Whoda thunk it?

Barring a miracle (up THREE HUNDRED in five minutes), this match is over. I can't ever recall a character winning a match when they've been on the ass end of giving up 300 votes in 5 minutes.

So I'll take this time to happily laugh at everyone who predictably threw out their BS guarantees during yet another debated match, and I'm not singling out Celes fans either.

*Nelson laugh*

Okay, it's over.

I hope The Boss > Ocelot, that way I can finally say that Ocelot's always been over-rated in MGS3.

Well, it is indeed turning into Vergil/Ghaleon...

So, is The Boss stronger than Vergil, or is Celes weaker than Ghaleon?

Looks like I picked this one right. Too bad Claire already screwed me over. Why is it that every debated match I feel is obvious (Fire Emblem/Silent Hill, this match) I get right, yet I manage to miss every single close match?

Meh, my first wrong pick of the contest. I guess were in for a day of listening to people who think picking the boss somehow makes them more intellegent and better people then everyone else. >_>

Not that it really bothers me. If people decide to act like asshats when they get a debated match right, it looks bad on them, not those who got it wrong.

Ouch, The Boss has this one in the bag. I'm glad I have her in my bracket, but as a big FFVI fan, this is somewhat painful. But, to quote Ulti:

UltimaterializerX Posted 8/27/2006 1:07:34 AM message detail
...people are debating Celes vs The Boss? Celes is my favorite character in FF6, and I'd practically slap the Ulti Guarandamntee(tm) on The Boss winning that. This isn't Ocelot/Pacman we're talking about. The Boss is beloved by the MGS fanbase, while Ocelot only matters at the tail end of each game. She's responsible for arguably the most touching moment in the history of gaming. I've beaten MGS3 twice, and cried during the ending both times. I'm sure it'll happen again when I replay the game.

As much as I love her character, Celes jumping off of a cliff and failing at failing doesn't even compare.

And enough people have played FFVI to where that won't really matter. Again, it's a moogle. It's like saying Boko the chocobo would beat Kefka.

Boko for Sc2k7!!

Anyway, what's with all the stat topic suicides? I missed them...
