Let's be professional here, guys. Nobody would be disrespecting Crono if this were reversed.

I think there's a Bible passage about that, actually.

I know, LET'S ASK LINK.


Hyrule 3:16 And the spiky lad was downed by the forces of evil, and a black plague swept the land. Despite the boy's failures, a gold statue was made in his honor.

Then the evil crushed the statue, and Link got pissed.

"Convinced" makes it seem like we were sure it was going to happen. I can't speak for anyone else, but I saw it as nothing more than slightly in Vincent's favor.

Crono has always been stronger then Vincent... Even last year, he was considerably stronger.

Last year, Sonic beat Vincent by only about a percent more than he beat Crono. That's hardly "considerably."
Mac Arrowny | Posted 10/23/2007 9:14:39 PM | message detail
Crono... collapsing? Didn't he just gain 79 votes?

Oh, yes, of course. But he also went from a 27% five minute update to a 23% five minute update. If he keeps falling in percentage, Vincent stands a decent chance at closing the gap.

Not that it's likely...but it didn't look likely in Sonic/Crono, either.

...I don't know if I can handle my bracket repeatedly disappointing me this late in the game when I'm doing this well and my predictions show every reason to not let me down. Damn you Hayabusa, damn you Auron, and now damn you Vincent.

...Having picked Hayabusa, and expected Auron/Vincent to pull through... I really feel for you.

...Please tell me you don't have MC > Yuna, because you're cursed or something. D:

Let's be professional here, guys. Nobody would be disrespecting Crono if this were reversed.

What? If Crono had Vincent's %age and vice versa, everyone would be either ruthlessly mocking Chrono Trigger for how pathetic it had become, or (like me) getting all mad about it.

That's true. I meant that Crono wouldn't be getting much flack if he were losing a close one, not getting dominated. Should have worded it better.

Hay guyz, would you be mad at me if I decided to conclude that Link is SFFing Zero and otherwise Zero would be kicking Vincent's ass? I need to take something from this match. :(

MC > Ganon for this round and the next...but I predict Yuna advances this round instead. Fear the curse. =/



The fact that BIDOOF was holding Link down is quite depressing.

I hate to say it...but I really want to see Bidoof in a one-on-one match now. If only to expose him and figure out how he works exactly, but I want to see him in a normal contest.

It actually seems like crono is SFF'ing Vincent here,considering vincent looked at least equal in the past rounds this doesn't make sense otherwise.

which means link could be benefiting from the split.explaining his performance.
wavedash101 | Posted 10/23/2007 9:18:57 PM | message detail
I'd really rather have Crono win here so we dont get all the NN broken crap all over the board...when the NN falls it should be decisively in 1v1 where the concept was establish

Having it break here is like half breaking it

But we know what he did. He probably got about 2K-4K stuffed votes, and if you wanted to work %ages for that match, you could take those out.

For some reason though, this result has me worried about MC's chances to even have a prayer of upending Sonic/Snake. Not that it has much in common with this at all, but I'm just not used to seeing FFVII denied so utterly (well, excepting Aeris, but you know...).

Although...

Vincent DId rise like 5% from here on out in his first match. Well, the Bidoof match too but that's hardly the best indicator. Maybe the FF7 anti-vote is holding him back.

I think at the least he should make it look respectable in an hour or 2

On the bright side (for me), I said right there in my writeup Link would prove he was still the man.

...on the downside, I still somehow managed to predict him getting 39%. What the hell...?

Sonic also had nobody else funneling the day vote from him.


Link being there is just a ridiculous black hole.


Crono is certainly not out of it yet and can still lose it, but right now...I'm liking his chances.

There were also twice as many votes in Crono/Sonic as Crono/Vincent, making the lead half as big in a relative sense.
