Oh, and some of thought it was nuts that PW had that support to begin with.

I'm aware, I'm just pointing out that borderline ridiculous upsets got good support, and yet cloud who actually does stand some sort of a chance gets nothing.

Yeah. I thought TP was going to drop in time for Zelda vs. Aeris. And in 20 years I'll probably looks back and say "Damn, that was the year TP came out, no wonder Aeris lost so bad" not realizing it was still (somehow) before it came out. Heh.

*I* supported Cloud! I don't count 'cause I'm not a Guru, huh...

...maybe I should enter, win, and make you all nominate Solid Snake for the hell of it! I bet that would tickle your fancy!!!

Well, as KH said, everyone expected TP to be out before this Sunday.

well, remember that TP convinced some people to have Ganon taking the entire freaking bracket. people were a bit loopy in regards to what that game will do for character strength.

anyway, I predict Snake with 8.5% tonight. I hope he breaks Cloud's record. and the NPH is going to make this match look bad to start. if Cloud's even remotely close in the first few minutes, I'll assume he's got enough to win.

hopefully when I get home there's actually a match going on!

What's this... remove Sephiroth from the poll, gain 15,000+ total votes? Never thought we'd see that kind of addition by subtraction, when it comes to the site's 3rd most popular character. I guess we'll have to chalk it up to increased traffic from PS3/Wii hype... In which case, maybe tomorrow we'll be back to setting records!

That's what Link wants you to think, what I forgot to mention was that the Board Vote favored Cloud.

Link to break 60!

And yeah, Cloud's not winning (I was hoping for that 55% mark at the freeze). 53-47 is probably an optimistic idea of where this will end up. But hey, I was seeing 60-40 predictions being made out there. MORAL VICTORIES AND ALL THAT

I repeat, I think it's funny that people are worried about Link. How anyone thought Cloud stood a chance in hell with Twilight Princess due out tomorrow is beyond me. And with shoody math backing up their cases, no less.

I was tempted to use a picture from WW but ended up using OoT Link just to balance the picture more.

(I created #3)

Goooo Link! 60% Next update!

If link manages to finish over 55% that would still be incredibly insane. He seems to get stronger and stronger every year.

He may very well. This is, for the moment...stabilizing.

And apparently the percentage of people expecting Snake to get third was so low it's not even showing up!
