Snake does not care about the odds. They are an irrelevance.

XD Snake. The idea of Cloud winning the board vote is so wrong.

charizard is horrible for battles, probably worse than light ball pikachu because at least that shows how huge your cahonjjes are for using it.

Could...could CLOUD be the one being bandwagoned here?

I guess Cloud fans thought Snake would bring his A-game so he overprepared.

If Snake were to somehow pull this off, I think this might be setting us up for one of the most hysterically bizarre matches in the history of B8.
Not that I'm expecting it. But...wow. Bizarro world.

I'm wetting myself at the possibility.

Bitter Sephiroth fanboy anti-voting.

Cloud no chance.

Hasn't there been a trend of the character that wins early and starts to lose the last minute of the first 5 to get a big update at 10 and then fade off like the dirty scum that they are.

...Well, I suppose Snake "coming from behind" is part of his mystique...

Still, I say there's over 50/50 odds Cloud wins. But I'm impressed Snake hasn't given up.
Kotetsu534 | Posted 3/19/2010 9:16:49 PM | message detail
That update was better in the numbers than in the % - I'll take that!

But really, this match is just beginning. Based off Cloud's matches and Snake/Seph there could well be decent trending in this match.

This isn't a normal match, man. You're one of my favorite guys here, but you're honestly like 5x more machine-like than TRE.

It's like I know this should be the case, but Cloud winning the board vote has caused me to immediately abandon all faith in trends. Yes. One update can do this! >_>

When it comes to final rounds and bandwagoning and rallying are all in play... you can pretty much throw out the trends as being incredibly significant. As long as Snakes ralliers don't give up, he can win this.

It's actually not the first time FFVII has gone down the 2nd update: Cloud did it in 2006 against Link, and FFVII did it in the Grand Final against OOT, IIRC.

No unless Cloud starts to stem the bleeding right away things aren't looking good for him, remember it's three hours until Europe wakes up.
