Battle Royale: Day 4 – Cloud vs. Link vs. Sephiroth or Solid Snake Moltar’s Analysis Cloud Day 1 – 23.71% Day 2 – 24.27% Day 3 – 23.70% Link Day 1 – 27.41% Day 2 – 34.91% Day 3 – 42.90% Sephiorth Day 1 – 16.43% Day 2 – 14.87% Day 3 – 16.70% Snake Day 1 – 13.12% Day 2 – 14.76% Day 3 – 16.70% Um…looks like Snake and Sephiroth are going toe-to-toe…but whoever wins is gone tommorrow. So…I’m going to go back to watching the match. Moltar’s Bracket Says: Sephrioth with lose Moltar’s Prediction is: Link ~49%, Cloud ~31%, Snake or Sephrioth with 20.00% Ulti’s? More like Transience’s Analysis as I write this, Snake is desperately clinging to a 52 vote lead. it looks inevitable that Sephiroth will take the lead soon and barely eek out a win, setting up the expected Clinkeroth match for the final three. anything could happen, though it's not like the next result will change at all. tonight's match is all about one thing: how much will Cloud gain from Snake being gone? it's generally assumed that FF7 and MGS have an overlapping fanbase thanks to a couple of overperformances in the past - FF7 beating the bloody hell out of MGS in the Game Contest and Sephiroth beating the hell out of Liquid Snake in the Villain Contest. Snake's never gone up against Cloud or Seph one-on-one, but one assumes that it would be a pretty ugly matchup should it occur. this is a different Snake this year though, one with Nintendo support. how will his votes end up divided? Link will probably get some, but not nearly as many as Cloud or Sephiroth. if Link gets even a third of what Cloud/Sephiroth get, you can pretty much kiss Cloud's small chances goodbye. prediction: Sephiroth eliminated with 19.5% *hits reload, sees Snake still holding on by 50 votes* just-in-case prediction: Snake with 20% HM’s Analysis Causality -- …There is not one?! Well, there’s not one as of this writing at least! Sephiroth and Snake are locked in such a tight match right now that it’s impossible to tell who’s going to win – and this needs to be sent off to good ol’ Moltar! But what they’re fighting for is simply who loses today. The only semi-interesting thing about who wins here is what percentage Link will get tomorrow. If Sephiroth wins, it’ll be great to see Link break 50% on Cloud + Sephiroth combined, which means Link rocks Final Fantasy VII here at ol’ GameFAQs! If Snake wins, we get an idea of how many of Sephiroth’s votes are going to Link and Cloud, which undoubtedly will favor the wielder of the airplane wing. Aitch Emm’s Vote: Link Aitch Emm’s Prediction: Sephiroth wins – Sephiroth with 23% Solid Snake wins – Solid Snake with 23% Yoblazer’s Analysis It was a fantastic contest for Solid Snake, but he came just short of making the miracle run last one day longer. Looks like my spineless, last-second change paid off! Even though I'm a big Snake fanboy, it seems fitting that we end our fifth annual contest with these three GameFAQs legends. For one, they have been the strongest, most popular entrants since these contests began, and all three have earned the right to be here. Secondly, it will be damn fun to see how Link fares against both his biggest rivals at once. |

Yeah, I've voted Snake so far, and I'm voting Link if he loses. --- DS Gamer XVII, The Cream of Smurf FODDER. |

| With the Hylian Wonder putting on a clinic
throughout the first three days and the FFVII pair (especially
Sephiroth) not looking too fantastic, the question on some peoples'
lips is "Can Link possibly hit 50%?" Without hesitation, I say yes.
Now, do I necessarily think he will
hit the magic number? Nope, but I certainly think it's within his
power. Link is going to finish with about 43%, and Snake will be
leaving at least 16.5% up for grabs, meaning Link would need to nab a
good 42% of Snake's leftovers to strike paydirt. It may sound like too
tall a task, but we've already seen much stranger things take place in
this contest, so I wouldn't be arrogant enough to simply write off the
possibility. Of course, Link's best chance is if Snake is still riding some Nintendo popularity this far into the Battle Royal, meaning that his votes will transfer to Link much more easily tonight. However, that's a bit tough to believe, especially with Elfie having already made Samus and Mario look like Daisy and Donkey Kong. It could be close, but I believe Link will fall a bit short of completely humiliating Final Fantasy VII and Square in one fell swoop. Link with 49% Cloud with 31% Sephiroth with 20% “o wate, what if Snake wins?” Wow! The Cinderella story simply refuses to end for Solid Snake! Two Noble 9ers defeated and three Battle Royal survivals within the span of a week! Unfortunately for Board 8's new favorite son, the magical ride is over. Snake is now standing with the biggest of the big, and they don't just roll over and die for anybody. Sephiroth is gone, which means Cloud will see the most notable increase today. For his sake, he better come out looking at least halfway decent (30% is his absolute floor, and he should be able to break that with ease), lest he wants to become a chew toy for Link in the finals. Link and Snake will do battle for the remaining bits and pieces of Sephiroth's percentage, but it's all for naught here. We know who's moving on and who's headed home. Link with 46% Cloud with 33% Snake with 21% Lopen’s Analysis Well, I’m not so sure what to write here, and I was asleep for like an hour, yay! Either Snake squeaks by Sephiroth, or Sephiroth squeaks by Snake. The difference? Not much for this match! The only difference is Cloud. If Sephiroth is eliminated, I give Cloud an off shot to actually beat Link’s %! In that respect, I hope Sephiroth loses, just for some chance at variety. However, I think Sephiroth will be pulling it out. But, you notice my prediction for Snake and Sephiroth are the same! That’s right, I don’t think it matters as much for them as it does for Cloud. Sorry, you two put in a good fight, but your journey ends here! Lopen’s Prediction: Snake OR Sephiroth eliminated with 20.95% KH’s Analysis Well, I'm not around so I don't know if Snake is holding on against Sephy, but we pretty much know either's screwed today. HAHAHAHAHA, WHAT AM I SAYING, SNAKE IS WINNING WITH EASE AND IS WINNING THIS CONTEST OUTRIGHT Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: LINK LOSES WITH 20% OF THE VOTE (fine, change Link to Snake/Sephy if you must. but you'll see!) Crew Consensus: Who cares? Close match going on! |

| I can't believe members of the analysis crew were
calling it in favor of Snake today knowing how badly he drops off and
how much Seph takes off from the start to end. Anyone who at any point
thought Snake had it for sure today was just fooling themselves. --- If this post was overly verbose, that means I tried very hard to not call you an idiot. If you mark someone for flaming/trolling, you probably deserved it. |
