If you don't think the devil division is overrated, Bowser
overperformed thanks to Snake, and DoC boosts him just the tiniest
amount, I don't think you can take Bowser in that match. --- Hooray Beer, Hooray Proxies! |

I'm not really liking my chances of Crono > Samus now. I need to
hope for some combination of overrated Devil Division and Samus/Ganon
SFF at this point. I was really hoping for Vincent to expose
Ganondorf/Samus, but it looks like this will be ending fairly close as
predicted. --- Take off every sig. |

So I wake up and Vincent is in a 52% lead?! Yay! Lets hope this means the end of this match! --- WWEGSB Hardcore Legend Masa I jobbed to Z1mZum in the Guru Contest. Did you? |

Ganon needs to keep getting those nice 52% updates, and stop letting
Vincent increase his lead over a few updates, then erase it all with
one. ****ing Ganon. --- I love bananas. |

As of this exact point in time? I think you have to take Squall if things stay the way they are. Next year? Ganon. --- I love bananas. |

There's only one way to make me feel better about Ganon losing. Playing
WoW for 3 hours and then coming back and hoping Ganon has cut the lead
to something manageable! Yeah so it won't happen, but you'll never get
me in bed either! --- I love bananas. |

This match does make Squall look a whole lot better although next year TP will be out so I'd take Ganon --- Current Content Score: 25/25 My Collection: http://club.ign.com/b/list/custom?lid=100018&owner=Dark115.&mode=vown |

Okay, I'm all caught up now, and *just* about done laughing at some of the stuff I saw from the past topics. Short rundown: - "Vincent lost the day vote to Crono!" Uh, Crono ain't Frog, Magus, or CT, folks. He's quite good with the day vote. Remember when everyone thought he was done against Mega Man because it was assumed Crono was going to flounder in the day? Remember when Crono held Mario to 3 updates in 2k4? Yeah...that was a plus for Vincent if anything else, him holding that steady. - "It's not like we haven't seen 2000 vote comebacks before!" We've seen them with the old poll time (which was better for vote shifts in the first place), and even then we didn't get them except with polar opposites. The closest parallel I can see with this match is Bowser/Snake, and again -- Vincent is no Snake in the day. - However, we're getting a lot more votes than we used to. Ganondorf doesn't quite have a 0% chance right now in my mind, but his window of opportunity is slipping fast. This probably ends up 51-49. - Speaking of Snake (aside from shooting a glare toward dragoon's way =(), him being significantly weaker than he was in 2k2 is a load of bollocks. Crono has supposedly gained loads since then, and Snake has more or less maintained the same proportion with him that he lost with in 2k2 as of last year. - obviously, this doesn't tell us anything about either character's strength. While it's unlikely that both of these guys are Noble Nine breakers, it's not like it's impossible... --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Ganon thinks he is coming back, but Vincent keeps sneaking in a 52% update while Ganon's not looking... Well, it's not exactly hard to trick Ganondorf, now is it? lol sheik Man, I kinda wish I hadn't taken so many upsets. Just going cookie-cutter (aside from this pick) is probably going to get me on the leaderboard by the end of the round. >_< --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

If there was ever a match I wouldn't mind losing my perfect bracket to
it was this one. I wanted Vincent to win, even though I couldn't get it
out of my head that Ganondorf was somehow underrated by the Sc2k5 stats
which was the reason I picked him in the first place. This match isn't entirely out of Ganon's reach, but it's getting there really quickly. Then again, we've had comebacks on this nature before, and this IS a Zelda character we're talking about... Here's hoping this is that last second nail-biter we've been waiting for. --- Still here after all this time... meh, not really. |

This is pretty much over. Unless your name is Master Chief and your opponent absolutely sucks
during the day, a 2000+ vote lead is tough as hell to get rid of.
Vincent isn't going to fall apart during the day and all Ganon is doing
during his best time is making some minor stalls/cuts. The best he
could do at this point is turn this match into another Tidus/Shadow. --- Character Battle V Score - 24/25 points Current Prediction - Ganondorf vs. Vincent Valentine |

Ugh, this is painful. I don't think Ganondorf can come back from this. Why did I put all my eggs in one basket for this match?

Ganon has cut off almost 100 votes in 15 minutes now. Interesting, but I don't think it's going to be enough. --- For crying out loud, you know I love you. |

Vincent's matches have all been remarkably consistent. He's doing a
good job slowing Ganon down in his best time of the day. Not only that,
but he managed to stall Squall all throughout the day and match
whenever he had a few lead cuts. I think this one may be out of reach
for the wizard. --- Character Battle Score: 25/25 Today's Pick: Vincent Valentine |

Good to wake up and see Vincent winning. Ganondorf doesn't exactly have
a good day vot by Nintendo standards, so hopefully Vincent's built up
enough of a lead. I'm actually hoping for Ganondorf to take the lead,
only to lose it in the final hour. Gogogo close match! --- That... was her final mission. And like a true soldier, she saw it through to the end. ZSB [aX] |

And Vincent ends the good streak of updates for Ganon. Still, it was only a 1 vote gain. Time is obviously on Vincent's side. Ganon needs to gain 41.3 votes per 15 minutes for the rest of the contest to win, or 13.8 votes per update. --- Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo merge to create...Microtendony!

And that's the fifth update in a row he's gained. It looks like Ganon's
attempt at a comeback was pretty short lived. Is there any other time
of the day when he might be able to mount one? --- Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo merge to create...Microtendony! "When the president does it, that means it is not illegal." - Richard Nixon |

His 12:00-15:00 time is almost as good as his 9:00-12:00 time. But considering he couldn't even do anything with 9 to 12... But anything after that is meh. --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

Depending on how Squall and Bowser end up, this seems like it's going
to cement Vincent's position as the strongest non-noble niner. --- Character Battle V Score - 24/25 points Current Prediction - Ganondorf vs. Vincent Valentine |

Vincent will probably end up higher in the stats, but don't count Bowser out. I'll take Squall over him next time no matter what, though, unless Vincent seems to have just got a LOT of help from DoC for whatever reason. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Yes, but those stats potentially underrated Ganondorf and overrated Vincent, which was the entire reason this match was so debated.

Think Sonic will defeat Vincent by more or less than he did with Tifa? IMO both Tifa and Vincent and pretty equal. My impression is Tifa is the weakest of the FF7 chars that make it to this tournament. I think Vincent can beat that marginally, I'm more wondering if he can match up with Aeris' preformance from SC2K3 (Aeris got about 47% of the vote against Sonic). --- Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo merge to create...Microtendony!
