I dunno, ExTha took a pounding from me rather well last year.



I keed, I keed. What show are you in ExTha?

TheCruelAngel | Posted 11/16/2006 2:22:23 PM | message detail
Thankfully, I won't have to worry about that!

Hey, I was one of the very few Link supporters here who was actually quite fearful of a Cloud win. I'm not anymore, but still! ;p

"Big Love" by Charles Mee. It's a freakin' awesome show as far as... I dunno, "stunts" go. I get to repel from a 50 foot high cat-walk, and I get stabbed to death... with fake blood and all that good stuff.

Did he rewrite "The Trojan Women" by chance? 'Cuz I know whoever rewrote it made me hate it even more than the original, heh.

Still though, stunts are fun -- I may be getting some stage-combat lessons soon.

The good thing about Cloud/Link is that Cloud will get 100% updates the last hour of the match while the Link fanboys are waiting in line to pick up Twilight Princess!!

It's possible. He leaves all his stuff online for people to look at though... he's not strict about copyrights or anything.

Nevermind ExTha -- he was, but I figured out the show I saw was the original but with the director taking it upon herself to modernize it.

Still though, hopefully Big Love kicks ass, heh. Good luck tonight.

And with that, I am off. 595 vote difference with over 6 hours to go? Sephy can do this. I should be back around 11:30 provided no cast party takes place. And hopefully when I get back Sephy is in the lead!!

Go Sephiroth!

I'm torn as to who I want to lose tonight.

Snake losing would pretty much cement me as the 4th-place bracket, assuming the 3 people who got close enough to pass me yesterday by choosing Mario probably have Snake going out today. Yay prizes!

Sephiroth losing would cost me 8 MORE points tomorrow, but I think it would cost everyone in the top 50 8 more points as well. It gives me a 33% chance to maintain the lead, a 34% chance to finish somewhere in the top 5, but also a 33% chance of finishing outside the prizes. Just some rough estimates.

Oh well. I'm feeling good about my prize chances anyway, despite possibly THREE wrong choices in a row.

Thank you, Eddie Guerrero.
PortugalTheMann | Posted 11/16/2006 3:33:38 PM | message detail

And the same should be true of Cloud/Sephiroth and Snake. Any Playstation support Snake gets would be siphoned away, since FFVII is a much bigger game than MGS, so they should have already robbed Snake of any Playstation support.


Yeah, except Snake actually has a reason for a fanbase to like him for MGS over FF7, even if they like FF7. No one that's a Nintendo mark has ANY reason to support Snake when Link is in a poll with him, there's a huge ass difference between having games you star in, and appearing in a damn trailer.

More than 70% of the site has played MGS1. I'm sure that many of those people are "Nintendo marks". It's not as if people who love Nintendo can't also love awesome characters. I'm certainly one of those people, and I'll be voting for Link in the final despite voting for Snake the whole way there.

In other news, Knuckles would've still gotten 40% on Snake this year because it is his destiny, putting him as a contender to break the Noble Nine!

And Ulti makes topics too early.

Great, but to say there's a good chance of Link getting more than 50% of Snake's votes than Cloud, it just ignorant when we've seen the overlap of FF/MG before.

Is there any reason any noticeable amount of Sephy voters would jump ship to Link? Because if not the last two days are gonna be pretty boring if Link vs. Cloud+Seph equals Link vs. Cloud. At least if Snake can tough it out the split of his votes is up in the air.
---
Should I start running now?
PortugalTheMann | Posted 11/16/2006 3:46:50 PM | message detail
Yeah... I have to agree that if Snake loses tonight, tomorrow may as well be the finals. I'm hope Snake pulls it off, aside from voting for him in every round so far, and not liking Seph at all, it would just make the contest 20 times better. Seph's behind by 434 votes right now... but I have no idea if that's bad or not.

From: MyWorldIsZelda | Posted: 11/15/2006 9:36:30 PM | Message Detail
For all you Solid Clink people, you think Snake could beat Sephiroth in a poll that doesn't have Cloud in it? Do you?

...No. "Solid Clink" is just silly because Snake lost to Samus beforehand. It's more like just "Link" now.

It really is Link andthoseothertwoguyzfromFF7arekindabutnotreallyclose....


People said this before the 2004 final, they said it before the 2005 final, and they're saying it again now. When all is said and done, I'm pretty sure we're going to be seeing Cloud up there about as close as he has been.

If Sephiroth pulls off the same swing he did from now until the end of the match that he did yesterday, he'll "win" by less than 50 votes.

He's looking good. The big thing he needs now are periodic stalls, and he's getting them.

Snake's had a really bad couple of hours where he went from projected to win by a smidge to projected to lose by a similar smidge, but he seems to be recovering here. I wouldn't speak too soon, of course - this match is still 50/50.

I guess high 30's would be good for Cloud. Still unsure how the split with Snake's votes will be.
