Cloud approaching the 100 vote barrier. --- :> |
DaruniaTheGoron | Posted 3/18/2010 12:46:48 AM | message detail |
From: Mac Arrowny | #146 LFF... not too hard to beat Seph when Cloud is in the poll too. 2006 final is her best, IMO. Beating Snake with 53%.. when everybody thought she'd bomb with how well he was doing against the other N9ers and she only got 51% on Tifa. --- CBVIII: 104/122 - 248 pts, tied for 264th Night Pick: Cloud Day Pick: Sephiroth |

oh cool Cloud starting to pull away WHERE THE **** ARE ALL YOU FFVII FANS GOING TO BE TOMORROW --- "Why did you come with me?" "Only because I wanted to go with you." |
Lieutenant Kettch | Posted 3/18/2010 12:47:34 AM | message detail |
From: Mac Arrowny | #146 Getting 30% on Link and beating Sephiroth with Cloud in the poll was not impressive. I'd say either the Snake beatdown or her 38% on Link was her most impressive performance before this. --- KrahenProphet and Nintendo cleaned me out in the Guru Contest. |

Even if Samus loses this, it will still be a historical match for the Intergalactic Bounty Hunter. --- "If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh." -Magus |
vcharon | Posted 3/18/2010 12:48:31 AM | message detail |
From: tgs2 | #134 And this is sort of what I was getting it. I guess it confirms there are people out that that are interested in seeing Link do this, and I was asking if you want to see Samus win do you trust Snake to beat her afterward? Because if you don't, then this is going to happen. Cloud/Seph/Snake should hold Link under 60%, but there's no one else that can. Samus would end up doing worse than Mario will do probably. --- :> |
Karma Hunter | Posted 3/18/2010 12:50:01 AM | message detail |
Eh,
Samus did get 38% on Link back in the day. If she has improved relative
to him (not an impossibility...), she could crack that 40% barrier. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

Link has looked too good for me to buy that really. --- :> |

100 vote barrier smashed. Goodnight Samus. |
vcharon | Posted 3/18/2010 12:51:46 AM | message detail |
Cloud with a pretty big update. Need some more of those to ensure he doesn't collapse in the morning. --- :> |
TheOneAboveAll | Posted 3/18/2010 12:51:56 AM | message detail |
And
that's what we've been expecting of Cloud all night. I'm gonna grab a
little sleep and hope that Samus stalls enough in the night to make
this beyond epic come morning. |
DaruniaTheGoron | Posted 3/18/2010 12:52:25 AM | message detail |
Damn, fun while it lasted. Hopefully Samus can keep this down before the morning hits. --- CBVIII: 104/122 - 248 pts, tied for 264th Night Pick: Cloud Day Pick: Sephiroth |
Karma Hunter | Posted 3/18/2010 12:53:19 AM | message detail |
Link's
only had one *really* impressive match this year, the Sonic affair.
Granted it was a doozy, but it was aberrant - sort of like in 2004 when
he put up 68% on Mega Man in the semis but ended up pulling
what still stands as his smallest victory over Cloud in the finals. I'd
at least wait to see how Mario performs. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |
Julian_Caesar | Posted 3/18/2010 12:53:26 AM | message detail |
From: vcharon | #370 realistically, how much of a shift would the morning vote bring for Samus? i can't imagine that it would be all that impressive --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |

Snake... Snake?! Snake!!! Hell yes, Snake is the greatest character in video game history, he's fighting for us! Go Snake go! --- One Piece: Pirates with style! -= Metal Gear Solid: Tactical Espionage Action =- |
vcharon | Posted 3/18/2010 12:54:29 AM | message detail |
From: Julian_Caesar | #164 The closer it is, the more impressive it would be though. If people notice it's close then that will obviously help Samus a lot. For instance, Sephiroth stomped Missingno. overnight, but if it had been closer then I would have expected to see more cutting from Missingno. in the last few hours than it was able to do. --- :> |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 3/18/2010 12:54:40 AM | message detail |
So how are we doing on this end... Good lord, wasn't this the time period where we thought Cloud would pull some doublings? While I still have to respect Seph's strength and give him a good shot tomorrow, pragmatically, it would confuse the hell out of me if he won. --- Yoblazer: http://i29.tinypic.com/dqhyf5.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Karma Hunter | Posted 3/18/2010 12:54:41 AM | message detail |
It
normally wouldn't be that impressive, but with a bandwagon/rally, who
can really say. If Cloud makes this uninteresting by morning though, I
think she'll lose that bloc comfortably. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |
vcharon | Posted 3/18/2010 12:55:42 AM | message detail |
From: Karma Hunter | #163 I'd say his performance against X was pretty impressive. I think X has shown me enough to buy that he's pretty near Mega Man in terms of relative strength. His other performances are better than anyone else's in the contest, and while not up to par with his old stuff, may be the "future" of the character battle's blowouts. --- :> |
DaruniaTheGoron | Posted 3/18/2010 12:58:54 AM | message detail |
From: PartOfYourWorld | #167 Wouldn't surprise me. From previous matches I'd say Samus > Snake, probably by the same margin that Cloud > Sephiroth. --- CBVIII: 104/122 - 248 pts, tied for 264th Night Pick: Cloud Day Pick: Sephiroth |

3rd update stalling still at 49.75 --- Close Enough Gamefaqs mods:"No, we moderate random posts for fun." |

stall-mus --- So, what does happen when Pinocchio claims "my nose will now grow"? |
Karma Hunter | Posted 3/18/2010 1:01:38 AM | message detail |
I think X has shown me enough to buy that he's pretty near Mega Man in terms of relative strength. Getting way less on Red/Ocelot than MM did on Cid/Zack/Hayabusa doesn't inspire me at all. I'd take MM to smash X, indirectly anyway. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

Samus doing an amazing stall job here. She may pull this off. Now I really need some sleep... Yeah, right. |
TheCodeisBosco | Posted 3/18/2010 1:02:53 AM | message detail |
(casts his vote, hoping Samus is above 45%) OHMAHGAWD :O :O I have no problem with Cloud, but I really hope Samus pulls off the upset here. She's one of my favorite characters in the bracket. --- MORE CHARACTERS TO CONSIDER NOMINATING NEXT YEAR: Psyduck, Kyle Hyde, Mallow, New Age Retro Hippie, Dan McNeely, Fulgore |
LeonhartFour | Posted 3/18/2010 1:02:57 AM | message detail |
Cloud isn't far enough away from Samus yet to convince me this is over. She just needs to last for two more hours. --- Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created. |
LeonhartFour | Posted 3/18/2010 1:03:23 AM | message detail |
And...did the updater break? --- Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created. |
PegasusLover123 | Posted 3/18/2010 1:03:53 AM | message detail |
How
much of a lead would Cloud need to assure his moving on to the next
round? Its looking doubtful considering how Samus never let him get a
200+ vote lead so far in this match. --- "If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh." -Magus |
-LusterSoldier- | Posted 3/18/2010 1:04:23 AM | message detail |
Hmm,
the 4:01 AM hasn't shown up on the updater yet. Then again, this same
problem happened back in the Sephiroth/Missingno match. The updater
tracked the 4:01 AM update, but there was a small delay in the update
finally showing up on the updater. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |
MagusMuddlefoot | Posted 3/18/2010 1:04:31 AM | message detail |
The lists didn't update but I think I saw the graph move. Could just be my imagination, though. |
Karma Hunter | Posted 3/18/2010 1:05:13 AM | message detail |
Nothing would be assured to me next round if Cloud escapes this. Sephiroth could be his opponent and I could still see him losing. 2k3 final avenged at last --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |
Julian_Caesar | Posted 3/18/2010 1:05:59 AM | message detail |
From: PegasusLover123 | #418 at this point, however, the past deficits don't matter much...with the Europe vote apparently kicking in, it's not a stretch to say Cloud could take it over 200 in the next update...he's gotten 40-ish updates already, a 60-ish wouldn't be out of the question\ --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
LordTMax | Posted 3/18/2010 1:06:07 AM | message detail |
Major loss that update for samus --- http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n237/Danielyoon10/B8sigbet-3.jpg Gamefaqs mods:"No, we moderate random posts for fun." |

it's not a stretch to say Cloud could take it over 200 in the next update nice. |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 3/18/2010 1:06:44 AM | message detail |
From: LeonhartFour | #176 For sure, especially since the upcoming two are Cloud's strongest. If Samus stalls or semi-stalls these, I'd even call her the favorite. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

DaruniaTheGoron | Posted 3/18/2010 1:08:13 AM | message detail |
Meh, Samus has done that several times. Just drops an update here and there. Comes back and stays up for a few more. Hopefully the lead is still under say.. 600 in a few hours. And hopefully the morning vote actually helps. --- CBVIII: 104/122 - 248 pts, tied for 264th Night Pick: Cloud Day Pick: Sephiroth |
vcharon | Posted 3/18/2010 1:08:36 AM | message detail |
600 would be too much to overcome I think. --- :> |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 3/18/2010 1:10:56 AM | message detail |
Anyway,
let's say Cloud finally starts "dominating" and wins this with over
52%. Next year, we are finally given the Mario/Cloud rematch (in the
late rounds) that Mario has been ducking for nearly a decade. Does
anyone, and I mean ANYONE, take Cloud to win that? --- Yoblazer: http://i29.tinypic.com/dqhyf5.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Karma Hunter | Posted 3/18/2010 1:12:32 AM | message detail |
I'm
sure a fair amount of people take Cloud to win. The Samus > Mario
indirectly train was reaching pretty high levels even before this match. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |
vcharon | Posted 3/18/2010 1:12:37 AM | message detail |
Unless Cloud beats Snake and still looks good on Link, making all these top tier NN characters close in strength... not really. Mario sort of embarrassed himself against Charizard though. I'm not sure I'd call Mario the favorite, especially not in a night match. Samus has been indirectly stronger than Mario before, remember. --- :> |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 3/18/2010 1:14:35 AM | message detail |
From: vcharon | #195 Yeah, but at the same time, it's difficult to imagine people fighting this hard for Samus and not fighting harder for Mario were he in her place. It's... freaking Mario. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Denzokuken | Posted 3/18/2010 1:14:56 AM | message detail |
It
depends if it's a 24 hour match or not with Mario. It's pretty clear
now that 12 hour matches are disadvantaging the FF7 guys to the point
where they could well lose matches that they wouldn't normally. |
vcharon | Posted 3/18/2010 1:14:59 AM | message detail |
It makes me sad to write out Sephy this way, by the way. I'm hoping my dismissal of him will yield favorable results. --- :> |
Jman_maximum | Posted 3/18/2010 1:15:19 AM | message detail |
pretty much everyone would still take cloud to beat mario Samus might very well be indirectly stronger,and even if she isn't they should be almost equal. not to mention there's a lot of rallying taking place. |
Karma Hunter | Posted 3/18/2010 1:16:28 AM | message detail |
I'm
tired of all this reverse psychology from ExTha and all the other Seph
supporters! Snake winning is still going to be an upset, and what a glorious upset it will be. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |
