I like how we may potentially have three Pokemon in the Top 10.

Best contest ever.

Link has gotten a bean-bag path riddled with SFF whilst Our Hero has fought tooth and nail against top tier characters such as Samus, Solid Snake and Chris Redfield.

This makes absolutely no sense.

Why would Cloud perform better at day when he is a night guy.

If Snake loses, then it explains that Snake easily won thanks to Seph's increasing anti-vote with M losing.

Question: how many of you were like me and voted for Cloud last round but didn't vote for him this time?

*raises hand*


Cloud cutting already, even if it's just one vote? I believe it took Sephiroth over four hours to cut, though that was day-time...but still, Cloud has that to look forward to. I want to see how Solid resists Cloud's comebacks before I say much about his chances, but Solid's not looking great.

Why would Cloud perform better at day when he is a night guy. After the first few hours he's going to tear into Snake, heck Snake won't like the second night vote at the end either.


As creativename has said time and time again, Clouds first 12 hour percentage isn't as good as his second 12 hour percentage.

True, but his night vote minus the first three hours is better than his day vote so why would anyone call Cloud's day vote better?

Yeah, I was skeptical about Seph dropping this much more than Cloud, but an easy Cloud win would certainly be good evidence. Maybe two years of being Cloud's SFF whipping boy have made Seph intrinsically weaker somehow? Who knows.

Assuming Cloud gets 52% on Snake, what's the minimum Cloud needs to get on Link to get Missingno in the Top 10?

A bit convoluted, so feel free to ignore this. I just want to see Pokemon dominate the Top 10 in the x-stats myself.

My one and only hope relies on this match just bucking all the trends. Snake's still winning; if the results remain unpredictable and if we can't use past indicators to predict voting trends, maybe a miracle will happen.

Strange that I'm so miserable with Snake having a 300 vote lead over Cloud in a 1 v. 1. I know the consensus will be to knock Snake after this match, but regardless it's important to note how far he's progressed from the days where he was the "weakest NNer."

Looks like RPGuy was right about that one. Well I'm fine with it- Cloud is a much better character than Sephiroth and this brings Crono > Sephiroth that much closer to reality (no I will not give up).

It's not "strange" at all. I'd say "typical" is a good word for it, since this is exactly what I said would happen. I've never witnessed people hanging their heads when the character they want to win is leading by over 52%.

From almost losing to the likes of Frog and Bowser in humiliating fashion to beating Sephiroth and giving Cloud a hell of a fight.

Snake should be proud.

Well, red sox has frequently speculated than the main character will decline at a slower rate than everyone else, so...maybe. But still, Sephiroth looks like he's lost more of a step than Tifa or Vincent have.

Yeah, I can't see how you knock Snake regardless of what happens here. The best you could do is say after what happened to Sephiroth he dropped the ball here, but it's so much more logical to say Sephiroth was the one who dropped, and that's still impressive for Snake.

Lieutenant Kettch | Posted 3/19/2010 9:37:12 PM | message detail
Why are you guys talking about Sephiroth dropping on Cloud? Cloud's best case scenario here probably has him up 51-49 on Snake by the halfway point. That's not quite as good as Sephiroth looked in 2k3 or 2k5, but still quite a bit better than their 2k4 direct match.

Cloud will probably take the night vote thanks to Asia, but Snake, unlike Samus, isn't a slouch in Europe. Don't expect to wake up to see Cloud/Seph leading by thousands in formerly close matches, ala Seph/Missingno and Cloud/Samus.

KamikazePotato | Posted 3/19/2010 9:38:41 PM | message detail
The funny thing is that if Missingno had beaten Sephiroth, I highly doubt we would have gotten the clarity we have now. Let me elaborate:

Current run:
Seph beats Missingno.
Seph does poorly against Tifa.
Snake beats Seph easily.
Snake wins/loses in a close match against Cloud.

End line: Bandwagons don't matter much in 1 v 1. Missingno was mostly legit. FF7 - especially Sephiroth - has lost a step.


But on the flip side:
Missingno beats Seph.
Missingno does poorly against Tifa.
Snake beats Missingno.
Snake wins/loses in a close match against Cloud.

What we would have thought: Missingno isn't transtitive whatsoever. He goes from beating Seph to not even breaking 56% on Tifa. Bandwagons matter quite a bit, as we saw when it transferred over to Snake.

Snake crushed Sephiroth, something even a bandwagoned joke-fueled glitch Pokemon couldn't do. Snake is arguably the Star of the Contest, even if he likely won't beat Cloud.

He had a great run.

I see earlier in the topic people talking about how Cloud won the board vote.

What's that about? The obvious explanation to me is that Snake ralliers etc. saw that Snake was in trouble and became more active. When I saw Snake went up it wasn't a surprise, I figured something like that could happen.
