Snake has always beaten Sephy, it's an upset if the one-winged angel can overcome the odds!

Nah, Sephiroth won the first two days of the Battle Royale against Snake.

Snake didn't lose though, he was in the match the next day so that means he never lost.

Alright Cloud, keep it up like that. I don't want you to actually lose here, just to get the anti-FF7 vote whipped into the biggest frenzy we've ever seen.

300 votes. When Cloud starts building his leads he gets right to work at least.

Sephiroth got more votes twice, and Snake got more votes twice. So we have a decisive tiebreaker!

Cloud's lead hits 300. Time for me to finally go to sleep.

Well, looks like Cloud is gonna do his usual rising for the rest of the match, and most likely win the morning block about 53-47. Probably finishes around 52.5%.

The only thing Sephy has going for him at this point is that the one match where most agree Cloud looked pretty good was against Ryu, a day match. Now granted Ryu is no day beast but neither is Snake. I suppose Sephiroth/Tifa might have something to say...but eh, that was just an exceptional match.

That and Snake is supremely awful in the day.

"That and Snake is supremely awful in the day."

He's well rested, I think he'll be able to go 24 hours solid this time.

Cloud not looking back. What a shame. FF7 always teases us.

I think Samus could end up higher than 48% though, if the morning vote swings back in her favour.

Not quite. Cloud really starts tearing it up in 30 minutes.
Lightning Strikes | Posted 3/18/2010 1:31:12 AM | message detail
The important thing is that Samus showed that it could be done. Make this a day match, things get closer. Put Mario here, he wins. Next year, Samus vs. Cloud rematch? Cloud better watch himself. This'll end up 52-48 it seems, maybe a little closer thanks to the morning vote.

But next year, if Link gets taken out... It'll be fun.
Agent M | Posted 3/18/2010 1:31:27 AM | message detail
Well, consider me confused.

From what I understand, Cloud is at his most popular during the day, but during the night he does best between 4-6 am or something like that?

I'm not really sure why you think this. Mario hasn't shown much evidence this year that he's stronger than Samus indirectly.

Cloud's Power Hour is so atrociously bad that he'll often rise for the whole day, but yeah, his single best period usually falls around the hours you mentioned.

If we go back to 24 hours, I'd still take Cloud > Mario.

It'd be hilarious if they finally faced off again after 9 years and Mario won again. Finally gets to prove the 2002 match was a fluke.. and then blows it.

Samus is done. Cloud won't need to get more of a lead than this. We've already seen Samus's best hours in hours 1-3 I think. Morning vote is just going to go to Cloud, just less so than the night vote is.

Ah, make it a day match and Cloud would win 54-46 instead of the 52.5-53 he'll get here.

Karma Hunter | Posted 3/18/2010 1:35:53 AM | message detail
In every match that Solid Snake* has appeared in since being announced for Brawl, his day vote has ranged from decent to good-ish. We haven't seen it this year so it's possible it might have fallen off, but that just remains to be seen.

*does not include Joke Snake, a distinctly different entity that was mislabeled in the 2008 finals match <_<

I'd agree if he didn't look so terrible against Charizard. I'm not ready to believe the "pokemon can't be SFFed" thing yet. Even if he can't be SFFed, that was really awful looking for Mario. Mario is a gaming icon and he struggled with a pokemon that isn't even the face of his series. Hard thing to imagine happening a few years ago, no?

DEAR ****ING LORD. Samus is stronger than Mario. Has been since 2002. I have no idea how people don't get this. Mario will slaughter her face to face, but Samus is just stronger.

I'm confused

Is FF7 stronger at night, since the traditionally more pro-FF7 matter more

or

Is FF7 stronger in the day, since anti-votes are diluded

it's got to be one or the other, so which is it?

It may end up about even, but the strongest period overall takes place at night. 12 hour periods only though, it could be split.

Sephiroth was at 50.81% at this point in time against Missingno. Cloud is now at 51.20% right now, so if Cloud continues rising at around the same rate that Sephiroth was rising, then Cloud should break 53% here.

I guess this is what happens when the Europe vote doesn't overlap with the late America vote. ASV style turnaround, instead of the gradual gains we usually see.

And there goes the 1000 vote barrier. Cloud's made a nice recovery here, it's an underperformance alright but with so many factors working against him he's not actually doing that bad anymore. I'd still take him against an unbandwagon'd Snake.
vcharon | Posted 3/18/2010 2:53:59 AM | message detail
A win is a win, I'm not really concerned with how bad FF7 underperforms these days so long as the end result is a win.

Kotetsu534 | Posted 3/18/2010 2:57:03 AM | message detail
Assuming Cloud continues to rise (just to a lesser extent) with the morning vote, this could've actually turned into a halfway passable 54-46 by the end of the match, were it a 24-hour match, with the Power Hour out of the way. As it is though, Cloud should just be thankful he's going through to the semis.

We'll still likely be denied of knowing of Samus or Snake is stronger due to the 24 hour rules, and people will say Samus didn't have the ASV, etc.

I can't see how anyone would consider a 24 hour match anything but an advantage to FF7 characters, voting blocks be damned.

LinkMarioSamus | Posted 3/18/2010 3:18:19 AM | message detail
I can't believe I voted for Cloud. But I did.

But Mario is surely a good few steps ahead of Samus...so Mario > Cloud now? We need to see that match (again, of course), to prove once and for all who is stronger. A sequel to quite possibly the greatest contest match ever...wouldn't we all like it?

(of course, I'd like to see this same thing but with games instead of characters first)
Karma Hunter | Posted 3/18/2010 3:20:55 AM | message detail
Yeah, Samus had her shot in the most favorable timeframe I think. Maybe you could argue a 12 hour day match would be better off for her, but if Snake can pull it off in a full 24 then I think you have to give him the benefit of the doubt. That's obviously not assured, which is the thing.
