So what's the deal with Sephiroth and Snake here? Sephiroth looking like he's going to pull it out or is Snake gonna hold?

OH AND EC IS FULL OF LIES

It's looking extremely tight. As of the 7:45 update, based on the vote swing yesterday, Sephiroth is expected to beat Snake by 35 votes. But that's hardly a foolproof method, with lower votals and a missing Mario.

Yikes. Looks like this might be our first really close Battle Royale match.

No idea what I want to see happen here though. Preference is Snake, Crew choice for the loser is Snake and Link beating Cloud + Sephiroth with over 50% would be gold! Then again, Snake would upset...go go Snake!

I want Snake for every reason imaginable.

1) He just kicks more ass.
2) Prediction % should be complete ass... and that would make tomorrows prediction % even worse probably.
3) I CALLED IT
4) Link v. Cloud v. Snake is a lot more interesting than Link v. Cloud v. Seph

Neither one is all that interesting, really, just the amount that Link can blow two opponents out, which is definitely exciting stuff!

Not to add gasoline to the flames, but I think having a Final Fantasy game be #1 for faqs on 3 different systems and have 3 games on the top 10 is pretty cool.

Ouch, bad update for Snake. He's got 4 hours to keep Sephiroth from gaining 300 votes.

Believe

It's a time like this when I really wish we could see our Battle Royale predictions.

I think I had Seph going out now, but it could have been Male Winner.

So...assuming Snake does have a Nintendo fanbase now...this here is showing that Snake could actually take it to Sephiroth in a one on one match?

Snake lost to Samus. He beat Sonic with less than 55%. He's not beating Sephiroth. >>

...No, this has NOTHING to do with Solid Snake's supposed "new Nintendo fanbase" nor does his speak of his chances head-to-head against Sephiroth (which, quite frankly, are zero). It says that Sephiroth may not pull some weird FFVII/MGS SFF on him, but that's about it.

Bah, it doesn't look like Snake's gonna make it, unless he can turn the last hour or so around (and last time was probably a fluke as it was). Stupid OWA.

Because you make them way too early.

Actually it's because the tiniest controversial opinion I post can start a stupid argument amongst my minions. Or something >_>

Anyway, snake's lead is only 69 now. What was the peak?

You know, it loses a lot of the excitement in the BR fashion. I can barely feel that this is a close match, even though the outcome could place me in the top 50.

Karma Hunter | Posted 11/16/2006 7:14:28 PM | message detail
Well, in a head-to-head poll the best you'd be getting out of Sephiroth v. Snake is a 60-40 blowout. We have this format to thank just for making an outcome like this debatable...or so my optimism says.

oh and HOLD 50 VOTE BARRIER COME ON SNAKE

As expected, Sephiroth will win. 50 votes are not a lot. Considering yesterday's last hour and a half gain for both Sephiroth and Snake.

Time . | Seph | Snake
22:30 | 215 | 157
22:45 | 198 | 192
23:00 | 175 | 151
23:15 | 156 | 187
23:30 | 159 | 160
23:45 | 154 | 147
00:00 | 160 | 127

Total | 1217 | 1121

Assuming it is the same as yesterday, then Sephiroth will win by 46 votes.
