FF8 is going to get around 21%, Pokemon and MGS right behind it. FF8 moves on tomorrow.

Man you know Leonhart is a diehard FF8 fan if he knows the characters measurements

I couldn't tell you every character's height, but I do remember Squall's, for whatever the reason.

Cloud's 5'6", too. Shortie.

Last one is my favourite. Rinoa AND Gray Fox - two of the biggest ever snubs from the char. battles - being present is great.
KamikazePotato | Posted 5/28/2009 2:42:46 PM | message detail
I guess I see it now, but it took me a few seconds. And 'bloody Squall' doesn't exactly help. Definite pic disadvantage for FF8, for what it's worth.

We're currently on pace to beat Mario/Crono II in votals. Probably going to end up around 134,000.

The pic shouldn't make too much difference today. None of the games stand out at all, except for Pokemon, but it's not gonna be advancin' out of this pack.

One of the reasons why I like multiple pics is that if one has a disadvantage, it's only seen by like 1/4 of the voters anyway so the overall affect a picture might have is generally eliminated

CT gets its second ASV cut on Mario 64, this time by 8 votes. By the way, at the start of the ASV, CT had 34.42% on FFVII. Right now, it has......34.42% on FFVII. They're having quite the battle for last place in the ASV today!

I'll probably bracket vote tomorrow out of pure apathy for these games. I might vote Pokemon though just to see if I can push it on against the odds.

to me it is. I voted for Earthbound in CTs first round match even though CT is my favorite game. I vote for whoever needs the vote the most out of games I like, not the game I "Like' the most.

You can consider voting for your favorite game "wasted" if you want to, but this is a popularity contest, not a "vote for the game that needs it most" contest.

I voted for Final Fantasy VII today and have no problem admitting it. It's my favorite game in the poll. Why should I not vote for it? Technically, a vote for CT is "wasted" by your definition because it lost anyway.

I don't always vote for my favorite character; for example, I voted for Zack in each of his matches last year despite favoring Link over him. But either way, you're not going to change the outcome with 1 vote.

Why is voting for your favourite game the same for people not voting in an election? If anything that attitude makes people vote for the best candidate instead of voting for number 2.

Actually by my logic, I would have voted for Obama since I argued for Obama winning for months beforehand.

I consider voting for an obvious favorite a waste, but I'm also a *huge* proponent of underdog voting. Like, I'll support a game I like over a game I like more if the first game wasn't supposed to be winning.

Yes, but your attitude is basically stragetic voting, if my favourite game makes it through/has no chance I'll vote for the lesser of two evils to prevent the other one from winning.

Pretty stupid since you should be voting for the candidate want to win, not what you want the results to be.

I want to see if we see a massive voting shift afterwards.

I do vote for the candidate I want to win. Because I know a game that has no shot of losing doesn't need my vote, I support the game I like that needs help to win.

This is 4way, not 1v1 like an election. In a 1v1, I'll typically vote for the game/character I like best, since there isn't any other matches going on. But for 4ways, its different since there can be a second match going on.
