Shouldn't today's match tell you that FF7 has taken a drop? Samus leading Cloud for 40 minutes would have been unheard of before this year.

MissingNo was "rallying" his ass off to keep up, then they gave up. Don't really see why Samus will drop as much as he did.


I hope your right!

This match is following Sephiroth/Missingno trends extremely closely so far though.

Which is what I figured, I just thought Samus would be a percent or two higher right now.

Oh, 2004 Cloud is definitely stronger than 2010 Cloud. There's no doubt about that.

Seph pulling a Seph/Mario 2k5 isn't out of the question (sadly), but this performance makes it pretty evident that Cloud has dropped relative to the field since 2004. Sephiroth escaping that would surprise me greatly.

Also, man, there are people that still pay attention to MWC? It's funny how quickly he's gone from literally professing himself to being a 'Snake fanboy' to showing his true colors in an ungodly short span of time. But it's hard to blame him - last CB's semifinals were pretty humiliating for him.




Never called myself a fanboy. Said I was a I love his series (which I do) that he is horrid comparatively (which he is) that he should lose every contest in the second or third round to superior characters (which he should) and that Seph will annihilate him (which he will).

FFVII's taken a drop, but not a big one, at least not for Cloud. I don't think Sephiroth has taken a big drop in relation to Cloud, that is, on top of Cloud's drop.

And Sephiroth looked around 47% on Cloud in 2007, getting 57% on Mario. He got 64% on Sonic in 2008, again, none too shabby in relation to that year's Cloud.

Wow.

This.....is just wow. I don't even like Samus, but wow. Voted for her earlier when I saw she was leading, just to hope for a different, interesting, upset result. Then Cloud brought it within 4, then Samus brought it back up to 22, then 27, now 55. Wow. People considering Snake > Sephiroth and I thought that was crazy, I never thought there was even close to a possibility of Samus > Cloud.

And in 2002 Cloud/Sephiroth is at best a wash for Cloud and quite possibly a Sephiroth win, in 2003 it was pretty darn even, then 2004 was 44% and 2005 back up to 47%. Since then we've only seen Sephiroth get demolished in fourways. I don't know why there would be any confidence in Sephiroth maintaining the percentage we saw five years ago. I mean, he could, but I certainly wouldn't be confident about it.


Sephiroth only got "demolished" in 4-ways when he had Cloud in the poll. He still looked like the same old juggernaut in every other poll.

KrahenProphet and Nintendo cleaned me out in the Guru Contest.
red sox 777 | Posted 3/17/2010 9:48:35 PM | message detail
Nah, it's just random variation. 4% from the freeze to the end of the Power Hour, 4% from the end of the Power Hour to the end of the match. We're still close enough to that!

The match was going just as I expected till Samus gained twice in a row. I expected an extended stall around 0 till the power hour was over.

Still don't think she has a chance but it'd be cool if she won

Cloud is certainly weaker. If he breaks 45% on Link it won't be by much. He loses a little ground to Link every year, since he doesn't get new games.

I thought she'd be doing better than this. Considering how much the overnight and day votes are going to wreck her, this isn't very good. I don't see how it reflects badly on Sephiroth.

If Samus is holding on by a thread against Cloud in the *Power Hour*, Snake might not lead for 2 updates against Sephiroth.

And Sephiroth looked around 47% on Cloud in 2007, getting 57% on Mario.

With Fox in the poll.

He got 64% on Sonic in 2008, again, none too shabby in relation to that year's Cloud.

That year's Sonic lost to Auron. Actually, that's interesting - that says Sephy gets about 61% on Auron, and this year's Snake would get about 61% on Auron. And last year's Snake wasn't anywhere near 47% on Cloud, and this year's Snake seems weaker if anything.

On the other hand, the difference in power between Cloud and Sephiroth is much greater than that between Snake and Samus.
