Those results just scream fishy to me. It goes from Sephiroth leading with 2 to Snake leading with over 50?

It's possible that Snake got a surge, but I suspect something's up.

Shame that the margin was so large though. Snake winning by less than 7 would've rocked. (Or by 27!)

At the freeze:

Cloud Strife 27.06% 529
Link 41.64% 814
Solid Snake 31.3% 612

Anybody who doesn't realize cheating went on for Snake there is a monkey's uncle. But Ceej is obviously not going to do anything.

He goes from losing or barely winning every update for the last 6 hours to winning by 58? I think CJayC is too confident in his stuff-blockers. Everyone was "saving up their vote" for the last 5 minutes?

First Ceej completely ignores the poll placement glitch in the ****ing final and then he just blows this off?

It's hard to believe that was legit, so it is a bit bittersweet...but matches like Mario/Crono II are the same thing. Guess you gotta roll with it.

2000 votes in the first 5 minutes. That's an insane record. Definitely the result of rallying at the last minute in the last poll.

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

I think CJayC is too confident in his stuff-blockers. Everyone was "saving up their vote" for the last 5 minutes?

Ceej is in a laughable level of denial if he really thinks that's what happened. Believing that is beyond inexcusable. Not that one would expect him to do take action - if his current cheating blockers couldn't prevent anything, it's doubtful that he has anything else up his sleeve to take action with, and he probably doesn't want to rock the boat anyway.

Well duh, you'd have to be pretty dense to think it was ;)

Thing is Snake would well have won legitimately, he was only down by 2 after all.

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.

I don't care that Snake doesnt have a chance today, just that it isnt two FF7 chars in the final 3. Got to have a bit of variation.

But, but... I wanted to have the chance to make Link fans sweat it out, since he wasn't going to get 50% against the two of them.

The massive vote totals at the beginning of this match would seem to indicate that it wasn't cheating.
