I asked that pre-match in one of the other topics here as well. If I can dig up the post, I will. But really, I was wondering this weeks ago. It was like all the guys in the stats topic (Black Turtle not included) were convinced Vincent was going to beat Crono, but I just didn't get it at all. Crono has always been stronger then Vincent... Even last year, he was considerably stronger. Did people expect Crono to fall that hard, that fast? Or was it something else? --- - Owner of TWO sticky topics! |

| Good show by Crono so far, but I'm not calling
anything based on the first few updates, which are always heavily
skewed toward certain characters. That said, I think this is a lot like
the match with Aeris where if Vincent isn't doing something by the half
hour mark, his chances in this are about done. But he's got some time
to start stalling and cutting before this gets out of hand. --- "Ha! No spoony bard could spin a sweeter tale!" |
