I figured Samus would need, what, 60% at the freeze to even have a shot at this?

Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created.

Samus might also benefit for being the top option in a poll! she will only lose by 2% maybe.

Cloud looking good for 55% early, which surprises me slightly. I thought Samus would be more bandwagoned than this.

No bandwagon love for SMAUS people?

CN, I don't think I've caught your whole argument here. You've been saying Cloud's day vote is slightly better than his night vote, right? And I could understand that. He's a semi-casual character, after all. So yes, in that way, a day match would favor Cloud.

But isn't Samus' day vote a lot better than her night vote?
LeonhartFour | Posted 3/17/2010 9:04:36 PM | message detail
And Cloud dashed those hopes pretty quickly.

All right, 100 votes at the freeze. Not bad, Samus.

UltimaterializerX | Posted 3/17/2010 9:05:20 PM | message detail
Over 100, but it probably doesn't last. Samus having all this trouble puts Snake in a bind, especially being in a day match.

Samus is surprisingly about as first half/second half neutral as they come.

The anti-vote factor is also huge, since we're dealing with 20K-30K less votes in a night match.

Next match should be closer than this. Cloud > Sephiroth, and Snake is probably quite close to Samus. If I were to guess, I'd probably say Snake is a tad stronger than Samus.

Keep telling yourself that.


Seph was the lock to win favorite, and still is.

It means something. Perhaps not a ton, but something.

For some reason it seems that Snake is more bandwagon-attracting than Samus. If she can't bandwagon in this scenario, she probably doesn't bandwagon anywhere.

Or my favorite: We see Tifa>Snake! :)

I just love how we're calling a match over with the character's who down by 100 votes after 1 update winning, and expecting him to get 55% too. Oh FFVII......why do the haters hate you so?

Yeah, Cloud > Seph is pretty much a lock to some degree like every year, and I'd take Solid to beat Samus in in the last contest. I still probably would, so...hopefully that's an even better match later today.

Picking Auron > Squall was dumb, but not as dumb as thinking I could beat Leonhart!

This doesn't mean nothing for the next match - Cloud, while just a whole different beast from Sephy, has enough parallels especially with antivotes to make a good argument for the OWA here.

However, these polls don't take place in a vacuum. I feel Snake will benefit precisely BECAUSE Samus will lose here, as I detailed in my Crew writeup. Her winning would actually constrain him greatly, as all the FF7 effort would be placed into Sephiroth surviving.
