Dang
Squall still over 60% in Europe I thought that would settle down a bit.
That's kind of scary but Sora should still have this! --- Starcraft is my life, so without it I wouldn't exist. - Artosis |

Maybe people in that red blob around Ukraine are waking up and Sora-voting. Either way, it took Dante until what 6:00 AM to grab the lead? I expect another hour of stalling. Barely past midnight on the west coast. --- "Ovelia ... SPOILERS IN THE KEYWORDS WOOPS" - Vormav |

Squall:
...Everybody. This is Squall. How's everyone doing? You're all probably
too tired to even stand up after all the fighting. But I want everyone
to listen to me... We still have a chance to win, and I need your help.
This is going to be our final battle. We're going to attack them before
they come in again. To do that, we're going to head straight into their
Garden. So I want everyone to prepare for a major collision. Take care
of the junior classmen. Irvine, Quistis, Zell and Selphie will lead the
attack into their Garden. As for everyone else, please support them if
you can. SeeD was formed to fight the Sorceress; at least, that's what I
heard. And Garden was created to train SeeDs. So this battle is
Garden's destiny and also our destiny. It's a grueling battle and I'm
sure you guys are all exhausted. But I don't want to have any regrets. I
don't want anyone to look back and regret this day. So just this once, I
want you guys to give everything you've got! For yourselves and for me!
lets DIS SQUAALLLL --- MMM... cookies |
Seems
like Squall is finally moving again. He might even reach a 100 vote
lead by the end of this hour and could spend the next 2 hours hopefully
getting the lead above 500. Then there will be about 9 hours for Squall
to continue increasing his lead past 6 AM, which I hope should be
enough time to add another 500 to the lead and get that lead above 1000. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
From: Lopen | #350 2. Our votes don't actually count and someone just designed a contest trend simulator to simulate matches and gave it to Bacon to use This would make an awful lot of sense. And I doubt it'd even be too hard to implement! --- :o |
Lol squall.. Wat a dip in quality. --- http://www.threadbombing.com/data/media/31/f53sle_2.gif brawl 3524 9730 2525 - LALA |
LeonhartFour posted... Nope, there will be no more fun for me in this contest. I have literally voted for the winner exactly once this round, so I pretty much have zero rooting interest left in this contest. I told you this was going to hapen. I told everyone. But noooooo they were "squall got dis". I actually have sora winning in my bracket pre contest. People seem to put too much importance on friggin 1-1. Dont underestimate kh on this site. Also LOL @ seifer. Whoever wins this its going to be close. I want it to be soriku so they can get raped next round --- http://gifsoup.com/view2/3219901/nakedlightning-o.gif |
Sora and Riku have their work cut out for them. They need America around 52% if Europe holds 62% for Squall. --- "Ovelia ... SPOILERS IN THE KEYWORDS WOOPS" - Vormav |
Surprise
surPrise look who it is supporting those terrible characters again.
Damn usa. Terrible taste that country has glad i dont live there. This just makes absolutely zero sense. There's no way that Riku helps close the gap that Squall has repeatedly displayed on Sora. Extha again with his "logic". It makes perfect sense. Us prefers kh. We dont know how strong seifer is. Add to the fact squall/sora matches are fairly close and recent kh games it makes perfect sense. Dont go on about another bs 1v1 stat again. In fact it wasnt even 1v1 it was friggin fourways. Sora/ squall have not met 1v1 i font think --- http://gifsoup.com/view2/3219901/nakedlightning-o.gif |
Lame. --- "I am riding the Poke-wave, using the metaphorical Surf and hopping on my Blastoise, all the way to Mario vs Bowser." - RPGLord |
hrm...
Squall going wild now. Europe going nuts for Sora is expected though.
best match of the contest for sure. I'd call Sora the fave if he did
anything of note against Dante in the day. he just kind of outlasted
him. --- xyzzy |
I
just woke up and checked the results.Okay Cloudoth did amazingly well,I
don't think anyone expected over 62%.Now for today's match that
close?Sure nobody expected that.Also it seems for the first 2 hours it
was actually a tie?Nice.And here in Europe Squall is over 63% but in USA
KH wins.Still I believe Squall got this.Who knew that Seifer would be
that weak? --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
Squall gaining. --- SomeC - sheer explosives since meeting that crazy hobo. BlAcK TuRtLe grabbed the Guru victory, slow but steady. |
Wow Squall making some space. Should be real interesting too see where we are in 12 hours. --- Inter-planetary-mega-stellar-hydro-static. There's no gravity between us. Our love is automatic. |
Squall gaining big. 500 barrier up soon. Will he be safe with that? Who wins the morning vote? |
Squall's
up another percentage in Europe to 63% and he's gradually dwindling
back to that 50% mark in North America. I'd be surprised if Sora can
actually bring this back below 51%. Pretty good start though. --- "Ovelia ... SPOILERS IN THE KEYWORDS WOOPS" - Vormav |
I
am guessing since Squall is doing better in Europe and Sora doing
better in USA,Sora will win.Still I don't think he can do it. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
Well
Squall's putting them up. Even if Sora ends up winning the morning, by
the time they kick in Squall will have a nice cushion if he keeps up at
this rate... but what happens then? An interesting match! Unless Squall
just runs away with the lead now. |
Squall averaged 58.92% that last hour. \couple more hours like that and it'll be too far gone for Sora to come back from IMO. --- :D |
Nearing
600 now. That alone may be enough. I'm not sure how strong KH's morning
vote is, but if the at-school vote is kind enough to Squall that he has
his largest lead before the ASV, he should win. --- Yoblazer: http://8board.webs.com/ariel.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
If
the continental percentages of the total vote are the same as
yesterday, then I'd project Squall win by around 52-48...which is what
it's at currently |
Dang
at the 64% in Europe that is crazy. Yeah seems like no way Squall loses
at this point unless the U.S. swings like 3-4% once the day vote
starts. --- Starcraft is my life, so without it I wouldn't exist. - Artosis |
this
will all depend on if Sora can stall the during-school vote because of
America being awake. chances are the answer is no and Squall will hold
on. Sora's not coming back from more than 1000 votes and even that is
sketchy. --- xyzzy |
I wonder why Squall is winning everywhere except USA myself. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
The bizarre North America love for Kingdom Hearts, there are no words. Bit disappointed Squall is in a match here, figured he'd cruise it. Once again I underestimated the US KH vote. --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic fanboyism |
As an American, I've long since wondered why European voters seem to really like the non-Disney characters in my Kingdom Hearts. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Not what I wanted to wake up and see. |
There's
the first cut in forever, and Squall's pace has slowed, indicative of
the morning vote. The smilin' one's first test is now! --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/5nw45i.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Did anyone with a perfect battle bracket even back Sora? Would be a sick all perfect snipe! --- [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ -Red |||||||||||||| -Green ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] -Blue Play Earthbound. |
IIRC,
we lost 7/68 on Frog, and a few of those seven guys may have just been
hesitant to go against their brackets. Squall is a huge bracket favorite
and Sora hasn't looked good before today. I'm guessing no more than 2-3
went with him. As for the battlers: assuming Squall holds on and we're left with ~60, I don't think we'll lose a single one for the entire quarterfinal round. I don't see anyone backing Samus. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Dang, and here I was just about to call it for Squall. Sora's not done yet. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v712/ExTha/10and14.jpg "I was wrong." - SmartMuffin |
Also I hope Squall/Seifer win because the ensuing FFVII v. FFVIII match will tell us a little bit about Link/Cloud. If FFVII can really harness the SFF and hammer FFVIII into the ground (like Sephiroth has had trouble doing in the past), then there is a slight glimmer of hope. If they struggle, even slightly, well... --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v712/ExTha/10and14.jpg "I was wrong." - SmartMuffin |
Even
if they struggle that is no problem.I mean it will not look bad.Yeah it
is the same series but it is not like Mario or Zelda series where we
have always the same good guys and the same set-up.So that would be
okay.Still I would like for Sora to win here so we lose almost every
battle and bracket.I voted for Sora myself.Also if the final was
Trainers vs Cloudoth I wouldn't had a problem with Trainers winning. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
If
Sora wins, this will be the first time in nine contests that Squall
suffers an upset loss. Even in 4ways, he has never lost a match that B8
expected him to win beforehand. He may be fed to Cloud and Snake every
year, but he always gets the job done for the brackets supporting him.
Losing ten years of such consistent history to http://images.wikia.com/kingdomhearts/images/8/8c/KH_Sora.jpg this stuff just writes itself. --- Yoblazer: http://oi52.tinypic.com/ad21i1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Normally I do a playthrough of FFX over the Christmas holidays... if Squall pulls this out, I'm doing FFVIII! --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
From: ExThaNemesis | #385 I just realized that FFVII's only disappointing match so far was against a team that is a fraction Nintendo-y. I'd have enjoyed seeing them face a scrubby Nintendo team (DK, Fox, even Luigi lol) before Link. Watching Waluigi lead Cloud AND Sephiroth for a few seconds would have been a huge highlight of the contest. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

From: PartOfYourWorld | #383 Nah some will back Samus, it'd be insane against a noble to not have a shred of doubt in the trainers. All they've done is beaten some Street Fighter duo after all. Rightfully favourites but I'd be surprised to see a clean sweep in predictions for them. --- (\__/) Meet Ziggy,the Evil Bunny who wants to take over the world and eat the flesh of the weak.

Yep. It only takes like 15 hours. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
Oh, this is over with. Almost 800 now, and Squall continues to trim the deficit in the US. Good riddance, Kingdom Hearts, you constant blight. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v712/ExTha/10and14.jpg "I was wrong." - SmartMuffin |
800 vote barrier engaged. With votals so low, that's at least the equivalent of 1k or so in bygone contests. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
Squall is getting really close to taking the lead in North America overall. __Smurf__ | Posted 12/12/2011 6:44:50 AM | message detail | quote | (edited) The bizarre North America love for Kingdom Hearts, there are no words. It's a US thing, because Squall is over 55% in Canada, but still losing the US. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
I'd
imagine its to do with the US's love for Disney rather than anything KH
specific? I think Disney is seen as a more of a kids exclusive thing in
this part of the world, in the US it seems like more of a wide appeal
thing like the Simpsons or whatever. --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic fanboyism |
well
anyway assuming Squall wins this with somewhere between 51-52% I'm not
really sure where that leaves conclusions on the two teams. As someone
whos played both games I'd have said the FFVIII rivalry was infinitely
more significant and relevant to the contest theme than the KH kids,
which arguably wasn't much of a rivalry to begin with. Sora/Riku are as
much a rivalry as Leon/Ada who got absolutely destroyed. i.e. they're
more predominantly allies and lovers than enemies. There were always theories that the sum of a teams parts could equal its total strength which put the KH duo in a strong place but seeing what Vergil did accompanied by a character who by rights is supposed to be weaker than Sora led me to only one conclusion. The KH duo have fallen off a cliff in terms of popularity, its supported by the Heart Division and was looking like a fine conclusion up until this. I don't really know what to think now, has Squall plummeted as well? Do rivalries actually not matter at all and the sum of its parts theory is correct? Is this just some sort of anomaly where the USA will vote Kingdom Hearts in large amounts over practically everything? Interestingly if you look at the US/Europe figures from the 4-way involving Sora/Squall/Yoshi/Fox and compare them to today the results are practically mirroring the Squall/Sora contest in both regions. Although given that the poll was 3 years ago, Sora was supposed to have collapsed and Squall is supposed to have the stronger rivalry its very odd that the figures would remain consistent. --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic fanboyism |
I
dunno, I think the Sora/Riku rivalry is perceived as being better than
you think. In KH1 the rivalry is actually quite good. They both more or
less want the same thing (Kairi, their home back) but go about it in
different ways. It probably doesn't hurt that the best stretch of the
game includes two boss fights between them. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
That Squall/Sora/Yoshi/Fox match was caused by Smilin' Squall. -_- --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
Seriously, I think smilin Squall is worse that solid !@#$ |
