Woah! What the **** got into Kirby here? Sure Sonic's not doing well or anything, but based off of Sephiroth it's not any worse than what he'd be expected to do based on his match with Auron. Kirby's the one massively overperforming here.

Extha's cheating for Kirby thats why but when my Plan B clicks into operation that wont matter.
MartrebnoR | Posted 11/16/2008 8:54:39 AM | message detail
Oh yes. ExTha has been stuffing for Kirby which is why Kirby has been leading ALMOST THE WHOLE TIME. -_-;; I'm sure that's it.

Is your plan B you cheating? Which would be obvious at this point? Yeah, have fun with that.
satai_delenn | Posted 11/16/2008 9:09:02 AM | message detail
Clearly, all of you are simply in denial about the fact that Dante's going to turn this around and end up in second...!

His soul is telling him that he needs to stop Kirby. Yes.

I noticed that as well. It's a good upset that no one saw coming. :)
Master Moltar | Posted 11/16/2008 9:13:44 AM | message detail
Kirby still ahead and by even more than last night, now THAT'S what I want to see. Also the power of Kirby and Sonic unite to actually bring down Sephiorth's FF7 trends of always increasing throughout the match. woo!

Still, crazy stuff today. Even Jill > Ocelot can kinda be explained by going "bubububu CLOUD". Just forget who she lost to in 2006 and it's all good!

This one can only be explained if you're willing to make some bold SFF claims (which I am aww yeah)

You know what I'm finding *really* weird about this match? Sephy's rise to heaven has just... stagnated now. This isn't the Sephiroth I know and love!

...wait a minute I get it now THIS IS SEPHIROTH'S FAULT gah why does he do this every year

Nah, it's quite normal for FFVII to stall in the morning on weekends against Nintendo. Sephiroth will resume his rise once we are past 1.

lolz at Sprottles insane need to rationalize this result.

You know, I miss one opening hour in this whole contest and i just so happen to miss the best one.

I called this after kirby's big win last round. With how much hes putting up right now, I am willing to call Kirby in the finals and making a legit run at Link.

Superstar Ultra and Brawl BOOST confirmed.

Not at all crazy. There was absolutely no indication that Kirby had gained THIS much.

Hell, that Sonic had fallen so hard.

You know, I just realized that had any other N9er besides Cloud (And Sonic, obviously) had taken Sephiroth's spot, he might not have even advanced past round 3.

Crazy stuff.

XxSoulxX | Posted 10/11/2008 9:07:19 PM | message detail

So, as I said in the other topic, Kirby = biggest flop in all contests. He's also one of the best proofs for rSFF existing in his match against Bowser.


At least you may be right about that second sentence!

transience | Posted 10/11/2008 9:20:25 PM | message detail
pfft, you can't argue about Kirby being overrated if you've got him beating out Dante.

I, on the other hand, also have 79 points and Kirby > Big Boss, but I've got Dante so I can make fun of Kirby all I want lol kirby


lol indeed!

KamikazePotato | Posted 10/11/2008 9:23:22 PM | message detail
At this rate I doubt Kirby even gets to R3.


R3 was thinking too small!

Master Moltar | Posted 10/11/2008 9:40:09 PM | message detail
and as much as everyone is crapping on kirby for this, he still has a great shot at R4.

BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 10/11/2008 9:43:19 PM | message detail
Kirby has no shot at R4. He never did. It will be Dante/Chief/Kirby/Riku. Dante and Chief are both comfortably above Kirby.


Riku, eh?

MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 10/11/2008 9:45:11 PM | message detail
So...

Magus = Kirby IMHO

BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 10/11/2008 9:46:30 PM | message detail
Yeah, this kind of redeems Magus. Sure he's nowhere near where he was in 2003, but at least now he's still a midcarder


Funny how Magus ending up looking worse than we all thought in the end.

I'm sure I missed some "kirby is a midcard" posts but i can only skim through so many bad arguments from the same people

Honorable Mentions: Those assuming Ocelot in R2 after this, those regaining confidence in Magus, and "lol Dante > Leon riku's got this"

You know Sephiroth is getting about what he's expected to get against Sonic when looking at last year's stats. So unless you think Dante is holding Sephiroth back this is all Kirby baby.

Kirby > Sephiroth next round.

paulg235 | Posted 11/16/2008 10:39:21 AM | message detail
There were warning signs everywhere. I mean...

Zidane > Shadow: Warning sign (Yes, Link was there, but I don't think Link really SFF'ed Shadow that badly)
Zelda > Knuckles: Warning sign (Zelda was SFF'ed and still won, and Knuckles lost his R1 match for the first time)
Tails coming last... Okay, this isn't really a warning sign. All 3 characters were stronger than Tails were, anyway.
Sonic not breaking 40% in R1: Warning sign
Auron beating Sonic by a few percent: BIG warning sign (Even without Sandbag, Sonic looks like he would still lose to him)
Sonic being closer to Auron then Sephiroth: Warning Sign

Kirby isn't really a warning sign himself due to how Division 7 went.

I should've paid more attention to these things, instead of thinking "lol Kirby did poor in R1, he will come fourth and Dante will come third with no SFF now". How Sonic is losing to someone who Luigi beated a round prior to Sonic beating Luigi 2 years is beyond me.

This is clearly due to The Banner Factor. Kirby's the only banner character left alive, so he's getting a massive boost because of it.

I love how people are acting like Kirby is going to win this.
red sox 777 | Posted 11/16/2008 10:46:56 AM | message detail
Uh, Sephiroth has 63.80% on Sonic right now and rising. The direct calculation underrates the strongest character too compared to Morgoth's method, does it not? Knowing how great the FFVII afternoon/evening vote is, Sephiroth may go above 65% there- only a little below what Cloud put up on Sonic in 2003. You know, the match that made people believe in Cloud > Link. Sephiroth is doing very well here, or Sonic is doing very poorly- it's not all Kirby.

Riku, eh?


To be fair, I consider Riku flopping in R2 to be one of the most confusing results of the contest, and without Leon there in R3, Dante probably would have beat Kirby.

I love how fanboys continue to deny reality when their character is losing. We're well into the day and Kirby is still gaining.

If i'd thought Kirby would make it this far i would've taken him to beat Sonic. Kirby being the more popular Nintendo/Sega option does not surprise me at all.

You know, as much evidence as there is that Magus is stronger than Frog, if they were up against each other and it was remotely close, is there any doubt Frog would win? Just imagine Magus fans trying to rally for Magus at the end resulting in twice the usual number of votes for Frog!

yoshi7cw3 | Posted 11/16/2008 11:04:39 AM | message detail
Magus WAS supposed to be the main third character, along with Serge and Kid. At least, it was that way in Radical Dreamers, the text RPG sequel to CT that was only in Japan. CC was based on Radical Dreamers but the writers decided to screw up everything and turn Gil (Magus) into Guile, a character with almost zero importance to the story. Sigh.

Not sure what useful ability Kirby can harvest from Sonic to defeat Cloud, but you know, he'll think of something.

Hah, what a super bomb for Sonic. This is almost certainly the most embarassing contest run for a N9er ever. 2k4 Snake has nothing on this.

Well well, i didn't expect that pink little puffball to defeat one of the Noble Nine (Granted this 4-way format is not helping any).

Did Kirby Super Star Ultra for the DS give him a big enough boost to kill Sonic?

We should've seen this coming. Kirby crushed L-Block and only barely lost to him last year with DK holding him back. Kirby is noble nine material!!!

And yes, Kirby would've beaten Kratos as well had DK not been in the poll.
