though I think the Europe vote should be kicking in kinda soon As a representative of Europe I'd say it's already underway and have been for atleast 2 hours. --- B.B. Hood for CB -09 The apples were too strong for him. |

Well, I don't think it starts in earnest until around the 3am (in 10
minutes) mark. I mean, obviously, Europeans are voting but we need
European peak hours for them to make a dent in the American vote. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

looking at past matches it seems shadow starts getting stronger at around 7:00 ~7:30 (contest time) there's still at least 2 more hours till that... |

like if Shadow can keep the gaines >20 for the next hour or so, then
it's doable. But none of this 40-50 vote garbage augh why am I paying
attention to this crap, he's gonna end up losing the day vote and
getting creamed I just know it. stupid fake hedgehogs --- Arsenal FC 3-0-1 Pts: 9 Pos: 3rd character battle vii ; final fantasy vii. do you believe |

Yep. I agree with Yoblazer as far as the Link stuff goes. This happened
last year when Link didn't meet expectations -- although last year was
all 'Link breaks 90% book it' -- and I expect things to start up again
this year after Cloud wrecks his match (he'll probably end up with the
biggest blowout of the round). Don't think it means much of anything.
We know Cloud can't take Link heads up unless he's boosted this year
(not much reason for that), and the Mario SFF scenario is sketchy. Got
a feelin' Sephiroth will be all 'what's up' come final time there. or maybe l-block and sandbag dominate woo --- let's mosey |

Why couldn't Kratos Aurion have been in this division. ToS bias would
force me to take him, and there's a good chance it'd have worked. So many awesome low midcarders I could've argued with passion for to take this division, instead I get... Kefka. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

At first I thought this was just a late night/board thing. Then it kept going. To all the stats vets, with how much Link dominates the day vote does Shadow even make a reasonable push or is this pretty much a wrap? --- Believe |

Guys, this isn't the same Zidane we've seen in previous years or his
fans are REALLY hardcore. He had 19.01% last year against Ness,
Alucard, and Liquid...and right now he's got 19.52% against Link,
Shadow, and Luke. He's gonna drop some more by the end of the match...but this guy's more of a contender than we once thought -- it's not just that Shadow's probably being SFF'd. --- NRT winners: Pokemon R/B/Y, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=44623118 |

smitelf Posted 9/19/2008 1:39:29 AM message detail #090 BT might have a point. It's possible that Link/Shadow LFF is happening rather than SFF. Normally with a character as strong as Link and a character as...not...as Shadow, I would expect straight-up SFF instead, but then Shadow's always been a weird hedgehog. Well, if you think it's SFF, then it has to be "LFF" considering they're the exact same. You can't have one without the other. And this isn't a different Zidane, it's just him looking better because Link and Shadow are splitting. |

Well, if you think it's SFF, then it has to be "LFF" considering they're the exact same. They're the same phenomenon with different effects in four-ways depending on the relative strength of the characters. --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe! Biden/Obama...er, I mean Obama/Biden '08! |

SquareFAQs is back! Huzzah! Ohh my poor bracket, no Zidane today, Shadow out of the division, and no Kefka tomorrow, but I don't care because SquareFAQs is back! Also, Link + Luke + Shadow = Liquid + Ness + Alucard, and Auron + Bowser + Ryu = Link + Luke + Zidane How strange is this? Link seems to be underperforming to me. Not just so much in the percentage (I have him around 62.5%, which he SHOULD get when the after school vote rolls around), but he's not even gaining in leaps and bounds right now like he usually does. The morning vote is usually Zelda time. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

this isn't the same Zidane we've seen in previous years or his fans are REALLY hardcore Maybe not REALLY hardcore but you know, FF9 is kind of a love/hate game and Zidane seems to be a love/hate characters in said love/hate game. I'm guessing most of those that like him atleast considers him a top 10% character on their personal scale while if you don't he's a bottom half and not someone they'd ever vote for really. And that does go a long way in this format... --- B.B. Hood for CB -09 The apples were too strong for him. |

Final stats from yesterday: Zack Fair: 50.00% Wario: 42.57% Cecil Harvey: 26.80% Jade Curtiss: 11.71% Wario gets 68.52% on Cecil and 86.25% on Jade. Cecil gets 78.15% on Jade. Current stats: Link gets 89.95% on Luke, 80.20% on Shadow, and 75.27% on Zidane. Zidane gets 74.61% on Luke and 57.09% on Shadow. Shadow gets 68.84% on Luke. So Jade's supposed to be stronger than Luke, right? Watch out, Link! Zack-Facks is after you! --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

If that's the case, that's still going to matter a lot for the next round against Zack SFF-wise. --- NRT winners: Pokemon R/B/Y, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=44623118 |

I'm going to at least wait until the end of the division before I say
much about Nintendo's standing, but these first two matches certainly
aren't suggesting that Nintendo's going to reign supreme. Still, Zack
was new these are only the first two matches...it's not's the end of
Nintendo yet. About Kefka: it'd be fun to see Kefka against Zack, but I don't trust that would be a fully legit match. Remember Zelda/Terra? I have no idea if that was a fluke, something solely between them, or if it's something LoZ characters can do to FF3/6 characters...but I would be wary of saying Zack/Kefka would be a legit comparison of who the fanbase favors while Link is around. It strikes me a lot like what people said about Crono/Vincent last year, except we have Zelda/Terra to argue for SFF instead of Link/Crono to argue against SFF. --- NRT winners: Pokemon R/B/Y, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=44623118 |

Ohh my poor bracket, no Zidane today, Shadow out of the division,

I still question Kefka's chances, but hell, I don't really know what to think about that match anymore. Woo Zidane! I'm not sure what Link's still doing under 60%, but I'm assuming that will change in a few hours. --- Attention, all yoctograms! (It's x2) DIE! |
