cloud only gained what? 20 on snake? Snake is hanging tough.

Did you not learn? Stop pissing off Cloud he was nice enough not to destroy both Kirby and Snake right away.

I'm expecting Kirby to completely die as the match goes on. I was serious about the claim that Sephiroth will win hours on Kirby tonight- it looks unlikely now but wait and see.

lookin' good for a Cloud comeback here. Snake's slowing down during his best time and he's going to need a big ol' lead to come back.

There's no telling how much Snake needs to hold on here. He just needs to keep increasing and not let Cloud get any substantial cuts on him during the night and keep building his lead now. Once the day hits, it should favor Cloud decisively.




like that update isn't good

Snake's only hope is that the majority of the anti-vote is going to Seph right now meaning he'll go up a lot more than Cloud, leaving Cloud only a relatively minor leap. YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE.

Now if any of you Kirby voters wanna go ahead and take your votes back now would be the time to do so, look how smart the FF7 fanbase was in slaughtering Seph they know what's up

Clearly your logic is that Kirby ate Dante's powers and the goth people will vote for him because he looks like Dante.

Man, I'd almost be tempted to root for Kirby if he looked like that in the match pic.

creativename | Posted 11/17/2008 10:29:37 PM | message detail
Just to say, I disagree with the notion that the first hour voters are "smart" - if they were truly thinking it through, they'd be voting Snake rather than Kirby. Kirby probably got close to an extra 1,000 votes here. Snake could really use those.

The early voters are more "contest aware", not necessarily smarter.

In the last match, from the 01;25 point Snake lost about a point, and Cloud gained 3.85 points. That leaves Snake at about 30.77% and Cloud at 31.39%. Hmmm, closer than I thought. Those Kirby "smart" votes might actually have been the difference in this match, if they'd gone to Snake.

I expect Cloud to win a bit more comfortably than that though.

Yes. Kirby controls all voting blocks with his power stealing we just have to wait until the Cloud joke vote wears off.

That picture is still awesome. How can you create such things then root against him you fiend.

Lopen | Posted 11/17/2008 10:34:41 PM | message detail
Contest awareness is what I meant, yes.

It seems obvious that abandoning Seph for Cloud is the good idea, knowing he was going to lose by a lot anyway. I don't think it's quite as obvious for Kirby to most people.

But truly anti-Cloud people wouldn't care as much if he gets first or second, they want him to not advance at all. Plus for all you know, they could be rooting for Kirby to advance over Snake instead, which would make for a more interesting final.

Yes I was thinking that myself (that they may want him to just place) but that wouldn't make them smart.

It's just that the contest aware people tend to highly gravitate towards Nintendo and jokes, and away from the FF7 males (except perhaps Zack).

Man Snake is just teasing me here with his continued update wins over Cloud.

But Cloud will win, then it'll be Link>Cloud, and I'll lose the Contest due to an accidental bracket mistake (Snake>Cloud). Sheesh. That would be tough to swallow.

hmm... I never underestimate FF7's sucky early vote, and even then I think I overreacted in Snake's favour. let's see if Snake slowing down during his best time is just a random Cloud spike or what, 'cause Cloud's going to rock him come daytime. Snake probably needs a serious lead to stop Cloud.

I'm not sure who has the better day vote: Snake or Cloud. I know Snake's day vote has gotten slightly better since Brawl has been out for a while, but I'm not sure if that puts his day vote above Cloud.

Looks like realistically Snake would have been the pretty big favorite going into this match. It's only because Cloud is taking an unprecedented amount away from Sephiroth that Cloud can win this. I mean come on, who thought Cloud would more than double Sephiroth here
