(For the record I am rooting for Squall there. I can't even believe I'm saying that.)

You just did all the promoting that match needs! Well done!

Plus, the fight that HaRR's sig will be mine once Squall lays the smack down!


Pfff. I've got like four different high profile bets going on with Seph/Snake. Account bet with XiC. 100 dollars with 'kash. beer and wayne rooney england jersey with Realo. I'm laying it all out there for Sephiroth.

I have Laharl winning, but his match picture isn't nearly as good as Neku's; that could make a big difference. I'd be feeling a lot more nervous about Laharl if it wasn't for Prinny's decent performance.

Speaking of match pictures, that Kefka one seriously cracks me up. As someone who has Arthas > Kefka in his bracket, I have to ask: how could anyone vote against him?!?

Thing is, Bacon doesn't really look at our stats. He goes "well, this is a cool novelty idea" and slaps a few strong characters from the same company together.

But he has to be aware that people hate SFF matches, right? He can't be so dense. He's got to talk to some people around here.


Pikachu > Kratos is probably bad news for Charizard, honestly. I don't see two Pokemon being that strong.

This logic doesn't make sense to me. Pikachu being stronger would definitely imply good things for Charizard, rather than bad. Pokemon Correlation Factor :)

When we have Sephiroth, Tifa, and Vincent in the same division, my faith in his awareness of that fact wavers.

Squall/Auron doesn't even excite me, like at all. It's an SFF match between 2 Square characters, one of which is a big favorite with 80% of the Guru brackets. It's a match in which the upset happening would not surprise many people, despite Squall being such a heavy favorite. There's no major arguments involving competing theories of the contest, and nothing at stake really.

He is helped by the fact that Bowser and Frog are both likable characters as opposed to Auron and... well... Squall.

Kirby/Ramza was the first match ever on GameFAQs that I didn't know who to vote for, and probably the hardest vote ever. I seriously didn't know who to vote for until the match came and I voted.

Voted Kirby.

Bowser/Frog will be interesting to me even as a 60-40 match. Squall/Auron would have to actually be close (as in the result is in doubt for at least an hour) to be more interesting to me than Bowser/Frog as a 60-40 match. Replace Auron with Ganondorf and my interest in that match grows dramatically, even if his chances of winning are lower.

And yes, Bowser and Frog are both awesome characters! Bowser's my #2 favorite Nintendo character, and if not for contests, I'd probably like him even more than Frog.

Kirby/Ramza had one of the BEST fanfictions written for them in .Vs mode too. Seijun wrote it I think. It involved Sora stealing Ninja powers from Ramza and what-not. I didn't know crap about Ramza and I still thought the fight was awesome.

Sora got 24% on Tingle. That was a full 24 hours. Laharl managed 26% on Yoshi back when Yoshi didn't suck.

All I'm saying is that Laharl could break 30% on Sora if there's been some wonky Disgaea boost like Prinny kind of suggests, and people would flip out! It would be awesome!

technically I came in right at the end of Alucard/Bomberman because one of my buddies from a yahoo group was a HUGE SoTN fan and wanted me to vote Alucard.

I voted, stayed around for the next match and saw the message board... and thus, the epic career of one of board 8's greatest posters BEGAN.
