Isn't Marcus gaining on Ocelot already?

Sure, it was only one vote, but still. <_<

From hochiminh155
Looks like Cloud will finish 55%. Wow, that's amazing. Good news for the people who have Cloud > Link in the finals.

It's really not that impressive. Just look at the stats. Cloud is against three characters who are at about Kefka's strength, and he gets some SFF against Kefka as a bonus.

Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package.

Is Cloud supposed to be leveling out already? Cause' with Marcus here I can't see him getting that great of a day vote, at least compared to previous rounds.

What's happening is that people are clicking "view results" and seeing a three-way dog-race. Rather than throw away a vote on Cloud, they are voting for one of the three. Cloud's looking to finish at about 53% now. still impressive. I had him pegged at 51%

No way is Cloud leveling out yet. Marcus will get some of the day vote, but he's still a lightweight - he doesn't have the heft to really hurt Cloud's performance in the day.

KamikazePotato | Posted 10/6/2007 9:41:11 PM | message detail
Yeah, Cloud is seriously leveling off here. In his last match he was still making big gains at this time. He probably finishes around...53-54%.

Karma Hunter | Posted 10/6/2007 9:41:33 PM | message detail
Marcus may get beat down against these night vote beasts, but he's still looking prime favorite at the moment - Kefka had a much higher lead right now (although they're fighting over much less of the vote to be fair), and two updates is hardly a trend.

*waits*

Hmm.

Ocelot needs to build a REALLY good lead over Marcus to try to stand a chance.

His day vote probably won't be as powerful as it was last round, since Cloud's there to buffer it, but its still dangerous for Ocelot.

It's really not that impressive. Just look at the stats. Cloud is against three characters who are at about Kefka's strength, and he gets some SFF against Kefka as a bonus.

You guys have REALLY got to step this. You CANT BENEFIT FROM SFF IN THIS FORMAT. Even if Cloud is getting the lionshare of the square support, the fact that any square fan who voted for Kefka who otherwise would have voted Cloud in kefka's absence means that Kefka is stealing part of the pie from Cloud.

Lets say Ganon makes it to the finals (he will). Even though Link has SFFed the utter everloving crap out of him head to head, his presence is going to be a huge liability to Link anyway, because the lionshare of the 10% that goes to Ganon would have otherwise been Link's.

And this is a weekend match as well. Frog didn't really fall off the face of the earth last match with the day votes, so I don't expect Marcus to swing as much as he did last round... hopefully! Go Ocelot!

Well...most matches so far have definitely indicated that SFF hasn't had that much of an effect in this format.

Not to say I would be rootin against Ocelot even if that were the case! Ocelot is a beautiful man, as a wise man has said before.

And jeez, Ocelot's time to bomb, actually losing an update to Marcus. If he's not consistent it's not really gonna be worth watching, he's gotta stay strong here.

Master Moltar | Posted 10/6/2007 9:58:35 PM | message detail
This is looking to be good. Kefka and Ocelot may split overnight. If that's so, neither may get out of reach for Marcus. Then again, if one takes off, then they could have the match wrapped up.

I think it's time to bring out the jumbo bag of corn.

Well, nobody expects The Boss to beat Vincent and Zelda in the first place, The Boss did well by winning against Tails.

Right now, Ocelot's strength in this format is rather close to Marcus so i am kinda of hoping that Ocelot can win somehow.
