the PC for the win over the SNES. It'd be a longshot, but who really

Part of me says Snake will lose, because he barely beat Bowser and
Frog, and Squall should easily be much stronger than them, especially
since I think Snake's picture will not
help him here. The other part of me says Snake will get 60%, just
because he's owned Sora and Squall so badly before, and because the
Noble Nine just never falls. Go Squall! --- caps |

I still have no idea, given that (IMO) there's been evidence for a
clear fanbase overlap between Final Fantasy 7 and Metal Gear Solid on
numerous occasions, why Squall would have a chance. I'm probably way
off-base here (as usual), but I just don't see it happening. >_> --- This was Ed Bellis. |

The NN falling isn't a factor whatsoever. It's like the people who
picked Phoenix to win just because of GFNW. It would be monumental if
the NN fell - but I would MUCH rather Bowser did it than Squall. FF
characters FTL. And yeah, hopefully Snake can SFF Squall (again?) - because I'm starting to think Squall > him indirectly. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz AC2K6 Score: 44/46 Today: Chun (euw) |

There's been evidence of fanbase overlap between FF7 and MGS, but it still could just be FF7 being the monster that it is. I'm willing to bet more than a good chunk of Squall's strength comes from Kingdom Hearts though. Snake overperformed on Sora because he had the most lopsided match picture in contest history, as opposed to usually being screwed in that regard. TuRtLe ~~~ 43/48 in the contest.

I'm also calling this in a 51-49 win for Snake. Any higher and I doubt
the KH2 boost. Any lower and I doubt Bowser's ability to even break 45%
on Crono and consider Luigi a lock against Kirby. TuRtLe ~~~ 43/48 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

...I'm still not seeing anything you're talking about. For one thing,
Lara Croft DID do better with the board vote than she did with the rest
of the night vote, so I'm not sure what you're whining about. And for another thing, I was getting onto you for a Smurf-like post of your own, calling 60% at the freeze "disappointing" when you only had Chun-Li getting 52.5% here. But if you need me to be politically correct and tag "IMO" on the end of everything I say just so you don't get your feelings hurt, then maybe I will. But you should really be able to discern that without me having to say so. --- Some stories can't be told by words. Some legends are meant to die.

Squall should easily be stronger than Bowser? Lies! Truth! I still have no idea, given that (IMO) there's been evidence for a clear fanbase overlap between Final Fantasy 7 and Metal Gear Solid on numerous occasions, why Squall would have a chance Which has a bigger overlap: FFVII and FFVIII, or FFVIII and MGS? Then look at Vincent/Squall and show me where the SFF was. There wasn't any because the two are very close in strength. In such situations, there is a possibility that there will be no SFF.

And for another thing, I was getting onto you for a Smurf-like post
of your own, calling 60% at the freeze "disappointing" when you only
had Chun-Li getting 52.5% here. Calling 60% at the freeze disappointing when the Board has a nasty habit of bracket voting and anti-voting mainstream characters was perfectly fine. I knew Lara was going to destroy the percentage come morning, and for Chunners to break 60% she needed to get at least 63-65% through the night. 60% was what I was expecting, but most of you guys have Chun-Li blowing Lara out, so 60% at the freeze would be severely disappointing from your point of view. And I reserve every right to gloat about today's result after being consistantly wrong for the entire rest of this round. TuRtLe ~~~ 43/48 in the contest.

Okay, you're banking on the possiblity that Snake might boost because
of trailers. I'm looking at Squall boosting because of an actual
release, compiled upon the fact that we've seen much evidence of it
