MWIS isn't one for common sense. Too busy vicariously living through Solid Snake and pretending he's some hardened, intellectual badass.

Aww man, Ulti, descending into the realm of the ad hominem. =(

Holy ****, the son of a ***** pulled it off.

I am literally blasting the MGS theme here. In three years, I have never done that for a match.

Probably never will again, either...unless Snake keeps this going against Link!

Its canon damnit! At least the voice actors are anyway

I look at it this way.

Not numbered = not canon = not interested.


I guess the first MGS isn't canon either!

You know, I didn't want to bring it up until it was certain and it more or less is at this point, but I had an account bet with ExTha.

He'll probably weasel out if it. Only witness I absolutely remember being there was Swift, who won't back me up. But whatever, his tears are enough

How exactly did Squall win board 8's favorite character again? I'm sure it's just because he's beating Sephiroth but Snake's fanbase seems to totally dominate this board now.

Then how do you explain Pikachu kicking his ass like a week ago? These contest matches are now the LEAST transitive they have ever been. Opponent contrast matters. The picture matters. Anti-voting matters. Momentum matters. Everything matters, and it matters more the later you get into the contest.

That doesn't change the fact he dominates this board, I'm not talking about just in general. Solid ****, etc. This isn't so much about the contest as is it about the number of topics about Snake and the crazy amount of time people in the stats topic kept us updated on how many votes Snake was up by.

The "boad vote" doesn't necessarily just consist of board 8, you know. I seem to recall people whining all day about Pikachu doing that well on Snake.

LOLContests | Posted 3/18/2010 1:47:45 PM | message detail
I'm still not convinced this isn't all anti-voting and the two characters are 50/50 indirectly.

Cloud doubled Ryu while being anti-voted. That alone should put him at at least 45 on BL, so I can't believe that Sephiroth is that far off, or that Snake is still crazy like in 2008. His performance on sprite Pikachu (someone on par with 2006 Yoshi) should put him equal to if not worse than his 2006 self, which IMO is only 40 on BL. I guess Cloud is only ~45 on BL, and Sephiroth is just way farther down than that, like in 2004. And Snake performed a couple points better on Squall because he didn't get an Old Snake picture this time, IMO.

Lieutenant Kettch | Posted 3/18/2010 2:31:21 PM | message detail
I'd say it's looking like a toss-up between Cloud and Snake now. I'd figure Sephiroth could pick up 1% or so at least with an extra 12 hours added to the poll, and 53/47 is the traditional difference between Cloud and Sephiroth. Hope we get an exciting match.

creativename | Posted 3/18/2010 2:53:08 PM | message detail
Snakes looks to be the favorite since he'll presumably boost at least slightly by then and the Power Hour will be a massacre (I expect him to have 56+% 1 hour in), but Seph's going to tear this %age down to the level where it becomes murky. SNV should be worse for Snake than this ASV has been.
