The longer Samus leads, the better Snake looks. Can't believe I'm stuck moving during this match.




I'm for this.

The longer Samus (much stronger than Snake) leads Cloud (somewhat stronger than Seph) we multiply Snakes odds of winning.

So as each hour goes by, we multiply Snakes victory odds by 3%.

We are 9 minutes away from multiplying 3% times 0.

Just 69 minutes away from giving his 0 chance another 3% multiplication.

Again -- I smell something fishy. Wouldn't be Samus' first time around the block.

Yep, Samus is definitely going to get crushed in one huge update by Cloud soon.

Is it really that difficult to believe Cloud is struggling against Samus during the Power Hour? To the tune of 60 votes?

This still looks depressingly over.
CP724 | Posted 3/17/2010 9:53:04 PM | message detail
Samus will be going even for at least 1 hour 30, probably more. Then will get destroyed all night unfortunately.

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!


Yeah, I don't know what people are getting excited about. FF7 always creeps up for a while during the Power Hours. It doesn't start blasting away until a while from now.

This match is deja vu trends from Seph/MN - exactly as expected pre-match, trend-wise. Nothing noteworthy so far.

Cloud cut almost exactly 50 votes last time, too, and then Samus slowly crept up back above 50.

I'm sensing a pattern here.

Now if Samus can stall on the next update, she would have maintained the lead for the entire Power Hour. Would like to see that happen.

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

Uhhhh

The gap between Snake and Seph was presumably smaller than the one between Samus and Cloud, Mr. Damage Control


Oh dear god. Calling *me* damage control? Of all people, seriously now.

I remarked many many times pre-match about how this match will be Sephiroth/Missingno "Deja vu" trend-wise. That's exactly what's happening, with Samus 2 points lower than MN pretty much this whole time. I thought she'd be a point higher than this myself which was why my Oracle was 53.88%.

But anyone not comprehending how utterly predictable these trends have been is simply not paying any attention.

Man, Cloud's not "smooth" enough to say anything like that!

It'd be more like, "I'm tired of dilly-dallying around, time to mosey on to the lead."

Only problem is there's no reason this should be like Seph/MissingNo.

Sounds like damage control to try and rationalize Cloud's weak performance (that I too saw coming) so as to not humor Snake goin over him...!

He'd be smooth enough to say that if he was Sephiroth's puppet! That's exactly what Sephiroth would say.

Hey, Samus fans. Isn't it depressing how Cloud just stole that Power Hour win that should have been rightfully hers? Isn't it time to exact vengeance on all things FF7?

I think it is.
