I don't know why people thought Squall had a realistic shot in this match. I mean, Snake made Soma Cruz look like ****ing fodder! That should be proof enough that he gained tremendously since last year!

And don't even bother with bringing up the fact that Soma was untested. He should be as strong as Alucard or very close to him. He was in the second two greatest Castlevania titles ever (arguably, as many say DoS > SotN).

Poor Leon, though. He turned out to be right all along about Snake/Squall SFF, and I bet he couldn't have been less happy.

62% at the first freeze. I doubt many people were expecting that.

It'll be interesting to see how the rest of the match goes in terms of trends. I can see Squall bringing it down significantly.

Boo hoo hoo. I took Squall, but you don't see me crying my little eyes out.

Just take your poison like a man.


Actually, I have Snake in my bracket and figured he'd win easily. It's just that most of you are simply too immature for this stats topic.

Unless snake magically became stronger then base link, Soma cruz is fodder, and not even high level fodder at that. I don't like it either, but an obvious fact is an obvious fact.

Only because he'd evade SFF. Squall would beat Ganon in a direct match today, tomorrow, and everyday until TP comes out. And to be honest, I'm not sure it'd even stop then.

So... what do both characters look like in terms of best vote times?

Squall is decent in the day, Snake is abysmal. Squall should bring this down a lot.

Though the thing is...Snake didn't drop very much, if at all against Soma. Who, while Castlevania, is an exclusively GBA/DS CV character. That was very odd indeed, and I wonder...

Read my next message Leon. This has all to do with Snake trouncing Soma and nothing to do with Squall.

Although, after seeing this, I just became a lot more confident on Snake > MM.

Both of them were handhelds right? ...There's only one handheld character that's done anything in these contests, and he went up against Master Chief. Soma's fodder.

Don't draw too much from this match, people. This is not indicative of Snake's true strength.

But either way, if Snake was going to win this match, I suppose I'd rather it be in a manner where it doesn't look like he's going to lose to Mega Man again.

Maybe if he's up against someone not named Vincent, Ganon, and Zelda. There's going to be a good few non-Noble Nine characters who could beat Squall next year.

..And here comes the drop after the board/bracket/hardcore/whatever you want to call it that obviously exists vote. Squall won't finish looking nearly this pathetic, and will probably look fairly respectable by the end of this, but I'm sure that won't stop people from laughing at his performance due to expectations that exceeded his abilities by a lot.
