I wish I had GameFOX. Certain sections of the stats topic today has been making my eyes bleed.

And this match has no gone 50/50 in 20 minutes. Hopefully this match will end closer than Snake VS Bowser.

He posted it a few pages back. Right before Tifa got an irregular spike.

O_o interesting plot.

Looks like Samus's day vote was greatly exaggerated. Let's all jump on the Tifa bandwagon again.

Anyone care to explain a three update stall on Samus I mean i didnt think stalls would happen again til at leats the 18:00 mark...

For what it's worth, Tifa began stalling Peach around this time too. Peach took off with the first hour of the afterschool vote, looked like she was going to dominate it, and then her gains just became tiny. I wouldn't read too much into a 3 update stall though.

If this is NOT all picture, I'm taking Zelda to win next round.

Tifa > Zelda, friends. I don't know why people are automatically assuming Zelda is stronger than Tifa all of a sudden.

*sighs* It's sad that this match is going to form according to the other close matches we've had. The after school vote to the rescue, it seems. Bah.

Tifa IS stalling right now though. Start making headway!

Also, it's not like ZSS and Samus look anything alike, so that really hurts Samus's ability to be recognized by the casuals. Yeah, I know it's doubting the casual voters intelligence, but past matches have already made me question them, so...

(Insert more comparasion to Solid **** here)

Gotta keep the Samus support high!

For the record, I love Samus, but I would would be rooting for her opponent to take her down at this point just for the hilarity.

If it was anyone BUT Tifa. Ugh.

Zelda will job hard to Yuna next round. People just think she's a character with some strength because of HM's incessant propaganda. Watch him get crushed tomorrow.

Also, if Yuna overperforms against Zelda, then I might start believing that FFXII traffic is also helping FF characters, because aside from Aeris (which was the day of), they've all looked pretty good since the release.

Crono still managed to pull in about 54% of the vote from 3 PM to 4 PM.

It wasn't until after 4 PM that Auron went on to hold Crono to about 51-52%.

Tifa may benefit from whatever magical fairy dust Auron took

HM. Do you actually believe the fanboy diarrhea that you emit, seemingly unknowingly?

If Zelda breaks 54% on Yuna tomorrow, you get a major pat on the back. Otherwise, a slap on the head to shut up. <_<

...Okay, maybe not THAT far, but the point stands. Ganon sucks and anything that works against him, I'm for it.

That's what makes it so delightful! Tifa is awesome.

Tifa is the worst character in a game with characters like Sephiroth, Cloud, Aeris, and Yuffie. If Tifa had lost in the first round, I'd have been very happy.

3rd best in FFVII is still not an accomplishment whatsoever. FFVII has the worst cast in an RPG, ever.

People need to understand there are like 4 or 5 factors helping Tifa here and none helping Samus. (KH2, AC, FFXII, Pic Factor, possible Samus overatedness). None of the individual factors are that much, but if each was like 2% or 4000 votes, that would be enough to make this match close.

I'm also tempted to suggest a close match factor, which encourages close matches to stay close, which is sort of obvious, as people are probably harrassing friends to vote for Tifa since she has a chance of winning/breaking the noble nine. If this was a 60%-40% match, Tifa likely wouldn't have those votes. One check for this would be to see if total votes are up.
