So it took Snake 5 more minutes than expected, but he got there.

I think Snake's in good shape, but I hope Sephiroth makes it fun. I don't want to see Snake run away with this without being challenged.


Good point. Imagine Sephiroth making a comeback and people actually thinking he has a shot, only to come short and lose anyway.

I'd love to see Ex's posts then!

Link's going to start his own revolution. We're going to go from Link sharing every 2 out of 7 titles to winning every title. No more will jokes and bandwagons oppress us.

Snake is doing to Extha what Kirby did to me, eliminate me and screw out of a guru championship.
freaking puffball denying me the chance to be the first 2 time champion.

Day match. Won't shift all that much.


Isn't Snake terrible in the day? And Sephiroth is decent?

From: Haguile | #090
If Snake reaches 1000 vote lead, then we can all rest assured that it's over right?


Hell no.

Seph will disappoint then I think, Snake could finish at 53% here.

In which case we'd all have to give him a shot against Cloud.

Fear not Extha, this revolution will continue well beyond FF7

Link has no chance for survival, we'll see the tides turning tomorrow as Mario gets a career high 75%~ on him

In Ex's defense, he a damn near lock to win the contest.


How can you say that when Snake>Seph was one of the bracket's most popular upsets and when it was looking more and more possible these last few days? It was never a near-lock, which is why I thought Snake had a great shot even after the Pikachu debacle. I know Ex was just having a little fun with the confidence and cocksure attitude, but this meltdown is really petulant and childish. I like Ex a lot, but he's going to get a lot of deserved flack for this.

Snake isn't much worse during the day than Ryu is, and Cloud barely went up 1% after the first hour was over.

Hahah. Yeah I know how you feel.

I love Link and actually vote for him every time over Cloud, but I never understood why FF7 and just FF7 was so despised. It's just a lemming mentality, and I never liked lemming mentalities.


I think because a lot of LoZ are actually ya know, GOOD, which is something I wouldn't use to describe FF7.

I actually agree with ExThat on that point.

The casuals are still too infatuated with that damn elf. He has yet to be challenged in any way this contest.

The FF7 Mentality is very easy to understand.

1. Link is dominant, but he has reason to be. He's been in major major games than anyone besides Mario. He's been around for 20 years. He's an icon.
2. Cloud and Sephiroth are from one game, which is disproportionally more dominant on GameFAQs than anywhere else on the net.
3. Every single FF7 character des well in these things. It gets to people to see 8 characters from one game dominate most of the field.

That's not the issue - in 12 hour day matches, shifts are much smaller than in night matches. Because the Power Hour doesn't really exist to the same extent.

Because MGS being awful during the day almost always happens. Even during Snake's best wins, he always goes way down during the day vote. If this holds, I pretty much give the full credit to FF7 dropping.

In all fairness, it's not like Snake is a "legend" either.

He has, what two games of any note where he's the main character, and one big one where he's a playable one.

I was assuming Ex was just putting on a show here. I surely hope he's not really this bent out of shape over Sephiroth losing and losing the contest.

I didn't even act this bad when Luigi lost to Squall, and I was 17 back then.

Even during Snake's best wins, he always goes way down during the day vote.

Except when Snake beat Cloud the first time in 2008. He held on to a 300 vote lead pretty much the entire way.

And the most sure sign Sephiroth is doomed: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3853&region=USXWY

And yes I think this is much more FF7 dropping off. Snake is probably at his strongest but not by much. If he's any stronger than Samus it shouldn't be by more than a point, maybe 2 points but I doubt that.
