Big increase? He still lost 18 votes.

As opposed to give up over 100? The first step toward a comeback is always a stall.

Hah, Tifa being > Vincent would already be pretty weird. Tifa being > Sonic, Crono and Snake is O_o

ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand.

Also, even though I would have loved to see Snake win, I'm also a big Samus fan and happy with this result. If nothing else, it shows that Samus can beat more than just Sonic and can definitely hold her own within the Noble 9.

Of course, I still have some hope that Snake will make a comeback here...

I didn't say it wasn't promising, I was pointing out that Snake wasn't anywhere close to a big increase.

What boggles my mind here is how Snake's domination of the men's bracket is going to ultimately make the men look so much weaker than the women on average in this contest, espesically if Samus keeps this up.

Weird, weird contest.

Wait, wasn't Samus' day vote what essentially saved her from Tifa?

I can explain why Samus is winning: too many people know this would make MC the Ultimate Loser this contest since they barely failed to make Halo the Ultimate Loser last contest by less than a percent.

Crazy Turtle Theory!!!!- There is no such thing as FF/MGS SFF

Yeah, that's right. Squall was just a weakass panzy in 2k2 and got a large slice of the Kingdom Hearts pie in 2k3. He rode that pie to near elitism in 2k4 and 2k5, and kept a large portion of that strength for this year, when he gained nothing from KH2 due to already being exposed to the KH fanbase in the first game. Snake was just... that strong.

As for FF7/MGS in the games contest, that was just sheer dominance on FF7's part.

Liquid Snake's situation can be explained with Frog being the weirdest character on the contest scene in terms of completely random performances. He just sucked that much against Sephiroth.
