No, wait, it links to KH's Oracle Page. It's just titled KP.

Was a bit confused as I've never joined the Oracle!

A. None. Snakes don't have armpits.

Oh man. Cloud's just setting her up to steal back the hour victory at the final update. He's toying with her.
KamikazePotato | Posted 3/17/2010 10:52:11 PM | message detail
And I agree with Lopen. This match isn't following Missingno/Seph trends much at all.

It's faintly possible that FF7 is just anti-voted to hell, at least if some of the new people that appear here to tell us all about how FF7 always wins can be trusted as representation of the whole, but I don't really believe it. Cloud/Sephiroth are just no longer untouchable, and Link still is. A FF7 decay has been forecast for several years now, and it seems it's finally here.

Probably have a big problem on our hands barring a total Link drop off. He may start dominating this contest even more than he ever has before. Snake won't get any stronger and is probably already weaker than 2008. We obviously need Dark Link in here to usurp him.

Doesn't even matter anymore who ends up winning this match, either way, wow, and bringing the competition closer to each other, next contest, it won't be so easy to just have Cloud win any match where he's not facing Cloud, and Sephiroth winning any match where he's not facing Link or Cloud.

Actually, if Samus ends up winning this match, I hope Snake wins because Samus/Snake is actually a potentially interesting semifinal.

Has there never been Snake vs. Samus? That would be an interesting match, actually. Not even sure who I would pick to win that match. Bacon has to make that happen next contest, if it doesn't miraculously happen this contest.

Snake v Samus was the 2k6 final. Samus won with some breathing room, but Snake's had MGS4/Brawl's release since then, so opinions have been split.

The lead is all that matters!

Or he should cut 61 and lead by 13!

Cloud would need a 60 vote gain just to tie Samus on this hour.

Hmm, and Samus beat Snake easily, huh. But Snake has certainly become stronger since then. Would definitely be interesting now....

Could set it up next contest so Elite 8 is Link vs. Mario, Cloud vs. Seph, Snake vs. Samus, Sonic vs. MM. Come on, Bacon!

TheOneAboveAll | Posted 3/17/2010 10:59:46 PM | message detail
Cloud was up 12 to start the hour, so he actually needs a 61 vote gain to win it. Not happening.
And Samus has cut another half percent off of Cloud's Europe lead. She may stall this through the dead hours.
Karma Hunter | Posted 3/17/2010 10:59:55 PM | message detail
Samus doing better the second hour compared to the first is evidence that there could be some bandwagon/rallying starting to kick in now, perhaps due to how competitive she's keeping it. She's gonna need to increase that by leaps and bounds if she wants to actually keep this sliver of hope alive, though.

If Cloud loses, the FF7 fanboys are gonna be pissed and Snake's gonna lose tomorrow.

Either Samus is cheating and someone in Europe is doing it or she's actually going to win the dead hours. She cut .8% off of Cloud's lead there in the last 10 minutes.

Karma Hunter | Posted 3/17/2010 11:04:28 PM | message detail
My best case scenario is for Cloud to win, but Samus to come as close as possible and lose in as tragic a fashion as possible. So far, we seem right on track for that.

I remember hyping this match a couple weeks ago. Someone immediately replied "Not happening".

At the rate Samus has been increasing, she will win Europe.

Flawless logic I know

I'm tempted to pull the trigger on Samus next year. Let's remember that FF7 is getting weaker year after year and that right now FF13 was JUST released... maybe Cloud would be doing slightly worse without it.
