Just want to advertise that I'm doing a special Battle Royale version
of the Oracle Challenge. It counts as a separate contest, so even if
you didn't predict the last 63 matches, you can still enter this one
for the next 6 days and win it. http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=31728330 --- ....TCELES B HSUP |

From the last CS&D topic: Congratulations Jakyl25! Or is it too early to declare the winner before the battle royale? Too early. Jakyl25 posted in here, and I liked him, so I'd like if he won, but if I remember his battle royale at all, he might lose there. Thanks, but he's right, it is too early. To be honest, though, I don't even remember my battle royale for certain. I mean, I'm positive I have Link > Cloud > Sephiroth > Mario, but I can't say whether I have Snake > Samus or Samus > Snake. I guess I'll find out soon enough. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. |

I just noticed the poll on the bottom KH was talking about earlier. The
computer I'm on now uses IE, while the poll comes up fine on Firefox!

I'd help complain about the poll getting somewhat messed up, but
there's pretty much no chance of it changing. At least there's pretty
much no chance that moving it would affect the outcome of the match. --- Currently listening to: A Twist in the Myth, Amputechture, Deus Ex Machinae, Black Wings of Destiny, Let Mortal Heroes Sing your Fame, and others. |

| Snake always benefits from higher votals! His
'obnoxious' fanboys are far more prone to use the inferior browser of
IE and not be aware there's a poll! darn you samus firefox fanboys --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

And I just checked, this is on track to be the lowest voted poll since Kirby/Luigi at this point. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Of all the matches that GameFAQs goes crazy, it's this one. Ah well,
Snake, you had a good run. Next year, I'm sure he'll be back to kick
ass and take names AND win the contest. --- "Ang hindi marunong lumingon sa pinangalingan ay hindi makakarating sa paroroonan." -Jose Rizal |

I didn't see you predict the poll randomly going south of the border for one and only match! Yup, I'll be making sure that Snake supporters make that excuse as legendary as Wind Waker Link and Warcraft on a Tuesday. We're obnoxious like that! --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

| I severely doubt SSBB is released before the end of 2007, Snake won't get such massive boost before 2008. I haven't played FF12 yet, are there any characters capable of doing some damage in the contest? |

as we all know, a higher poll position would bring Snake over nine thousand more votes! --- xyzzy |

FF12 character? Balthier will likely be Auron-ish, Vaan will be Tidus-ish, Ashe will be Yuna-ish. --- CB5 Points: 131/160, Current Oracle placement: 19/170 Now playing: Phoenix Wright 2, Final Fanasy XII, Children of Mana |
| transience | Posted 11/13/2006 9:23:54 AM | message detail |
| and those things usually get changed. when a poll
pushed it down during the early stages of the redesign, it was fixed
within a day or two. --- xyzzy |

Balthier for being awesome Ashe and Vaan for being the poster characters of the game Fran cause of furries... So yeah, I think FFXII has some potential damage dealers! --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude! Board 8's Unofficial Master of the Phoenix Down |

It would !! 2004 being Snake's worst year is no coincidence. Snake would OBVIOUSLY be winning 55-45 with traditional poll positioning. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Isn't there a limit to how many FF character can get in. It wont seem
too great for the FF12 crews since
Squall,Auron,Yuna,Tifa,Vincent,Rikku,Tidus and Aeris are going to be in
the contest next year. --- I am a Singaporean and hope Snake will do well for the rest of the contest. |

We don't have company caps anymore. We could see a LOT of FFXII
characters getting in (and potentially stinking up) the joint next year. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

I'd be surprised to see Aeris show up again, and I have my doubts about Rikku. --- CB5 Points: 131/160, Current Oracle placement: 19/170 Now playing: Phoenix Wright 2, Final Fanasy XII, Children of Mana |

| I think Snake losing is not a bad thing, at least
he will not be retired by CjayC this year and therefore he will get to
show his prowess after MGS4 and SSBB are released. --- I am a Singaporean and hope Snake will do well for the rest of the contest. |

Assuming Snake and Samus don't both get
retired from these things, Snake likely won't have MGS4 or SSBB if we
have the contest next year. Not that it'll likely matter, as he
steamrolled all the other competition so convincingly that we really
have to bank on a crazy boost for Zelda or Ganondorf to beat him...and
I don't buy Zelda's standing. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

You know, Snake's doing a pretty good job of not letting Samus go crazy here. We'll see how that holds up in a few hours. --- CB5 Points: 131/160, Current Oracle placement: 19/170 Now playing: Phoenix Wright 2, Final Fanasy XII, Children of Mana |

Squall,Auron,Yuna,Tifa,Vincent,Rikku,Tidus and Aeris are going to be in

Assuming Snake and Samus don't both get retired from these things, Snake likely won't have MGS4 or SSBB if we have the contest next year. Not that it'll likely matter, as he steamrolled all the other competition so convincingly that we really have to bank on a crazy boost for Zelda or Ganondorf to beat him...and I don't buy Zelda's standing. Meh, I could see a big boost from Sonic being enough to beat Snake...if there's no MGS4/SSBB, and the new Sonics are great. --- "Luckily, I brought my smart sword. It won't hurt anyone 'friendly'.
