Anyone worried about Link when Mario is THIS CLOSE to Sephiroth, is crazy.

Still can't vote. Don't care much with these characters, but considering the votals, I get the feeling the results are being affected. (Not that there's any way to tell how they're being affected, but still...)

Seen the numbers, though. Am I the only one here who won't be surprised at an epic Mario collapse within the first two hours? Also, LOL at Vincent getting hit even worse than Ryu. Some reward for breaking the Noble Nine, eh?

Big Bob:
APOLOGIZE, DAMMIT!


Yeah, I wouldn't get your hopes up on that from this topic...

YoAriel33:
I apologize, Big Bob.


...why do I even say anything here?

Mario would have to be beating Sephiroth here to worry. It's Seph's first hour after all

Sephiroth being this close to Mario and Link still winning is bad for Cloud. Square has less than 40% of the vote.

Mario will collapse, but he should still end well over 20% I think.

Still think Seph has a good chance of getting very close (within 1%) of Link here.

Mario is easily the star right now. If you had told me he'd be tripling Vincent, I'd have called you crazy. Perhaps he got angry watching Samus slap Mega Man around and decided to give it an all-star effort in his 2007 swan song.

...square having less than 40% of the vote doesn't matter. If they end somewhere between 40-45% it's still as debatable as ever, and FF7 always finishes higher than it starts. This match isn't going to tell us anything. Link is still going to be considered the favorite, and Cloud is still going to have a chance.

Square has less than 40% of the vote.

FF7 has less than 40% at the start of the poll -- this shouldn't come as a huge surprise. The first few updates, and really the first hour, is generally never kind to FF7 characters, even moreso when they're up against strong Nintendo characters.

I'm not going to try and read much from this match, but Square having under 40% this early was completely expected by everybody and their mother.

And considering how low Vincent is, it just indicates how little he's adding to the FFVII side of things here. How would you expect a Sephiroth/Link/Mario poll to go?

Seph would get 100% of Vincent's votes

I'm amazed at how poorly Vincent is performing right now. He usually starts off bad in polls anyway, but he got like 10% more in the FF7-poll (which didn't have Sephiroth, to be fair) than what he's got right now and he's shown he can fight off SFF against Crono and Squall as well. Sephiroth destroying him THIS much...ouch. I figured Vincent would have been doing better than this just because he's playable.....

Go Mario! Kick Sephy's ass! Even if it means Link losing to Cloud next round!

Surprisingly, I'm very easy to forgive. A simple sincere apology, and I stop caring entirely.

trannyscience | Posted 10/29/2007 9:30:00 PM | message detail
Link looks great here considering Mario. maybe I'm spinning this, but he's going to hit my expectations even with Mario doing vastly better than I expected. unless Mario just utterly collapses and this is some weird board vote, but that doesn't make any sense.

I mean, he's doing better than last around against Sephiroth with Link in the poll. kudos, fatty.

Vincent's performance is surprising to me, too. I figured he'd hold up a bit better than he is, but I suppose if most went the route I did -- voted Vincent up until this point but went with Sephiroth here -- it would be understandable. Still pretty shocking, though. I figured Mario would be getting hit with SFF like that.

If you ask me, this match shows that Mario could very well go 53-47 with Seph nowadays, even before Galaxy and Brawl. After those, Mario may be the safe number 3 in these contests.

Yet Link and Mario still have EPIC overlap. See rounds two and three of the battle royale for proof.

This definitely is a weird board vote. Mario was barely doing this will last time, and there wasn't a Link in his way. Actually, looking at the last Mario/Seph match, yeah, Seph is going to do quite a bit of increasing. They were 4% apart at this time and finished over 10% apart.

Well, I believe that SFF... or fine, LFF if you must call it that, is much more damaging to non-Nintendo entities in this contest. I mean, consider how large the fanbase is that you're trying to split when having two Ninties go against each other?

I mean, FFVII may be the most popular (maybe not quite anymore) game here, but it's still dwarfed by Nintendo as far as total voting pool. So while Vincent may only be getting 8%, it's quite possible that he's doing more damage to Seph than Link is to Mario.
