Snake wins. It's over. Seriously.

Remember, remember. The 7th of October - the day Ganondorf was beat.
By the Valentine, who N fans despise - another win, another great feat.

And Snake goes up.

I may be favoring him like crazy, but I feel like it'd be remiss not to pull a Char and say this one is over.

On the one hand, this means Snake is a monster of destruction the likes of which we have never thought possible. On the other...

How is a boost this big even possible? Samus didn't do that after Metroid Prime, and that was her first game in like, 8 years or something. A 2 minute trailer and Snake is on Mario's level now?

Meh, if this is due to Nintendo, Mario would SFF Snake to victory.

On the other hand, Samus better look out if Snake is Nintendo now, we all know how good she is at SFF!!!

Typical stats topic. 20 minutes in, you guys confirm Snake could beat Sephiroth of all people.

Ah man, it sometimes makes me wonder where the smart people on this board went to.

Samus gets most of her strength from SSB and SSB:M. And IIRC, Metroid Prime was out before 2k2 contest

Of course ^_~

And if Snake is legitimately this strong (as in, he's winning the contest) then he's beating Mario after MGS4 and SSBB, SFF be damned. Mario will SFF that support like crazy, but even a fraction of it would be enough to defeat him.

#404 I agree with Black Turtle, the following is far more logical.

Axel is above Kairi
Ryu boosted like crazy
Sora boosted insanely.
Snake jumped about 10% on MM in a year.
Yoshi boosted.
Dante boosted.
Riku boosted insanely
Squall wasn't SFFed

Instead of.. this

Mega Man dropped.


And this is probably the sweetest part of the day, being able to rub this result in Smurf's face. GO SNAKE! FOR GREAT JUSTICE!

Horrible start for Sonic. Talk about choking it up. Snake isn't nearly as bad as Crono with the morning/day vote (weekend match), but Sonic should still gain. Still, Snake may do enough with the night vote only for Sonic to do some damage control.

This new Snake is scary.

Crono might be the weakest noble niner this year, and snake might be as high as the fifth or fourth strongest, and is sixth at the very least... just think about that for a minute. This has been one hell of a contest. Possibly the best since the games contest.

Yikes. Sonic should make this a lot more respectable with they day (I'd laugh like hell if he didn't, though, and Mega Man > Sonic & Crono), but at this rate he'll beat Samus and look extremely good heading into the Battle Royale.

I wonder...If Cloud and Seph don't end up stealing (that many) votes from him and he's as strong or stronger than Mario, he could go pretty damn far...

...Okay. Just because it's the weekend does not mean the day vote is non-existent. It just comes over the course of the day instead of all at once.

Goddamn Moltar, you should've let me do today's guest rightup <_<

I was right about EVERYTHING (except the important Snake > MM). MM stayed constant, Axel is above the fodder line, Sora boosted through the roof and Ryu's performance one Bowser last year was a fluke of epic proportions.

Just saying that the vote swing is going to be less dramatic than it usually is. Plus, look; Snake isn't dropping that much at all.
