Cloud has a BEAST of a day vote, you know.

As strong as Link's, though...?

Cloud has a BEAST of a day vote, you know.


Cloud is only good in the day vote in the sense that he starts so low he rises the entire day. It's hardly that impressive if you exclude the first hour.

Link/Cloud and Link/Sephiroth were some of the biggest vote shifts in 2005. Even bigger than Mario/Sephiroth.

eh, out of all the Noble Nines, Snake appears to be the least hated and has very little internet anti-fanboys/fangirls or whatever you want to call them. If this is another NN, I'd expect the Internet to not care that much and Link will win as usual, but this is Snake we are talking about. He is a different story. People loves him. The internet loves him.

YES, HE CAN DO IT!

No, Link definitely has this. Snake was up over 600 on Cloud at this point yesterday, and I'd be shocked if he didn't fall off much much worse.

I'm actually playing devil's advocate there, KH. MGS4 was awesome, and Snake winning this would also be awesome.

...but he won't.

Still might not beat Cloud, even.

Raw stat noble nine ranking is going to be hilarious this year. Snake > Link > Cloud > Mega Man > Sephiroth > Crono > Sonic > Mario > Samus

And it's the star of Metal Gear Solid 4, which has cutscenes approaching 30 minutes at regular intervals! Wasn't that movie I mean game awesome?"

If that's what it takes to make the most emotionally intense videogame I've ever played then all I can say is Bravo.

At the one hour mark, the Square duo was only off 3% from Cloud/Sephy's performance in the '06 Battle Royal fourway, while Link was down nearly 11%. Could it be that Link's actually getting SFF'd here?

Then games have a long way to go in term of evoking emotions.

The hyperbole is so thick its killing any happiness I would glad out of Link losing

People still think Cloud has a shot? O.o

Snake has a lead of over 1600 votes on the guy one hour in with few signs of slowing down. Cloud is done.

Ehh...I could argue about the role of cinema in games here, but I won't. A) Like I said a couple posts ago, MGS4 was awesome anyway, and B) this is Contest Stats and Discussion. So.

red sox I think you need to change your signature to Snake's quest to beat Link.

No, Link definitely has this. Snake was up over 600 on Cloud at this point yesterday, and I'd be shocked if he didn't fall off much much worse.

Only thing is, Cloud has one of the worst early votes in the contest and Link has one of the best. A small lead on Link and a 600 lead on Cloud at this point isn't really that different.

This match is either going to the last update, or it will be decided during the morning vote. Either way, we won't learn anything from it at the moment.

OR
