From: Safer Sephiroth 777 | #141 No.Will be an SFF beatdown. --- http://gifsoup.com/view2/3219901/nakedlightning-o.gif |

From: The_Djoker | #151 Sadly this. Like I said in a topic I made this morning, that match will be my downfall if Sora manages to win this. --- I'm a mess http://i43.tinypic.com/205o5l.gif |
what on earth is going on in here --- I wish I could wear skirts and dresses :( -GMUN |
http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4565®ion=USXCA Dat California vote --- My Japanese alter-ego. Hey all this is Bartz btw. |
Yeah, this is over. Sora can't do anything consistently. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
Since the first big ASV cut, Sora has been on pace to win with his current hourly average vote cut. And he just won another one. I'm not surprised by all this. --- I'm a mess http://i43.tinypic.com/205o5l.gif |
From: RottingToe | #157 He stil won't win. Cmon the lead is well over 1200. HE can't make up that much and Squall is going to cut back every 4-5 Updates before the Night vote hits. Squall will win with 500 or so votes to spare. Comfortable --- http://gifsoup.com/view2/3219901/nakedlightning-o.gif |
Thing
is, Sora's not going to be cutting at this rate for the remaining 7
hours. His gains are going to get smaller over the course of the
evening. --- I wish I could wear skirts and dresses :( -GMUN |
Naa
Squall got dis! It's Persona 4 vs Dead Rising all over again.Squall
will hold off this pathetic no taste American vote and ride it out with a
glorious win because Squall>all. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v303/Shaneh87/Funny/siggy.jpg |
From: The Mana Sword | #159 This. THIS. ...then a 28-vote cut GODDAMN --- http://i30.tinypic.com/16kdkbl.png |
I just want one more lead change. I don't even care that much who wins. I just want it to be exciting. --- Khali Speak: http://www.rot13.com/ |
From: Haguile | #162 A match wre KH could possibly win is never exciting. --- http://gifsoup.com/view2/3219901/nakedlightning-o.gif |
But
I expect Sora to improve as the ASV goes on and have even bigger lead
cuts. There's still a significant amount of kiddies, even those who got
out a while ago, who have yet to vote. Plus the SNV slightly favors Sora. The ASV slope increasing can give Sora just enough ground to cover as he begins to level off during the SNV. --- I'm a mess http://i43.tinypic.com/205o5l.gif |
Axel/Frog didn't really get going until this time, IIRC. --- "What's wrong with bootblacking? We like it very much!" This is Yesmar. |
Sora
isn't going to do as well percentagewise once the ASV starts to fade.
On top of that, the number of voters per hour will start to fade as
well. Sora barely staying on pace during the ASV isn't really that good
and Sora is actually slightly behind pace right now. --- Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place Pokemon VGC2012 NW Regional - 16th place |
From: The_Djoker | Posted: 12/12/2011 4:53:54 PM | #163 Fortunately I like KH so I'm okay with it winning. --- Khali Speak: http://www.rot13.com/ |

SquallStall do it --- Am I XIII_Rocks? Or TheRock1525? |
Yup, Sora's just gonna stall in the first half hour of every hour, then wipe the floor in the second half. Not enough, Sora...not enough...I am ashamed to have picked you in my bracket. --- I'm a mess http://i43.tinypic.com/205o5l.gif |
Yeah,
I was worried because I thought they might start opening those 40-50
cuts quite frequently, but they're struggling to keep pace to take the
lead. Not worried now. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
Squall's just warming up he's used renzokuken to take the lead and now he's readying Lionheart --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v303/Shaneh87/Funny/siggy.jpg |
From: Kotetsu534 | #172 For sora to make consistent cuts like that he has to win 60-40 updates. --- http://gifsoup.com/view2/3219901/nakedlightning-o.gif |
In a really big ASV swing that can happen. See any famous comeback against CT. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
This isn't a big enough swing to counteract Squall, though. Another Kingdom Hearts chokefest. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy IV (FF2US) http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3445328 |
Sonic/Crono 06 GoaT match --- The best superuser. |
Yeah
Sora's going too slow. This isn't Frog/Axel where one guy is actually
liked and has a monster day vote against CT, Squall is fine during the
day. Closest this could get is 500, but I'll be surprised if it even
gets below 800. --- Ulti doesn't even post. He just dictates responses to an underling, who is allowed to bring us his word due to his benevolence. -Cyclo |
Plus
this contest has been so dull that nobody gives a s*** about the
interesting matches. There's too much apathy for a comeback bandwagon
to give the extra oomph needed for Sora/Riku to complete a comeback. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy IV (FF2US) http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3445328 |
Well I have a ton of work to get done. I'll be back at around 10 central to see how big Squall's gonna win by. --- I'm a mess http://i43.tinypic.com/205o5l.gif |
ASV is cyclical --- Am I XIII_Rocks? Or TheRock1525? |
Typical 2nd half of the hour dominance --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |

Credit
to Kingdom Hearts here I suppose. It'll be interesting to see how Sora
can perform next singles contest (if there actually is one after this
fiasco) and if KH3 is at least announced by then. Squall is either on
his way down the ranks or Seifer is a big drain on him. Little doubt
Seifer is probably the weakest character that made round 3 though. I
really doubt him even against Wily and Robotnik; he may be able to beat
Blue simply because as a singular character the trainers are not very
good in this. --- :> |
I'd take Seifer over plenty of characters who made this round, like almost half of them. --- http://img.imgcake.com/nio/2bigwigpngut.png |
I
don't think this match really says anything about Sora or Squall. Also
keep in mind Sora nearly lost to Dante in the previous round which is a
step down from where Sora used to be. --- Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place Pokemon VGC2012 NW Regional - 16th place |
From: vcharon | #187 You'd think that but Seifer the way he is...could lose to virtually anyone. --- http://gifsoup.com/view2/3219901/nakedlightning-o.gif http://static.desktopnexus.com/thumbnails/458080-bigthumbnail.jpg |
I
wonder why this happen?I mean I am sure nobody expected this match to
be that close.Is Seifer so weak that he is dragging down Squall? --- 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~ |
Considering
that Seifer is the only good thing in FFVIII, I'm sure he's popular
enough to at least beat Dr Wily and such characters. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Black Turtle > Me |
Sora/Riku
is the better rivalry in the eyes of many I assume which explains why
they are doing better than expected. We have already seen rivalry
factor at work more than once. --- ... |
From: Safer Sephiroth 777 | #191 This match isn't Squall Vs. Sora. IT's a rivalry battle. So yeah pretty much. Same reason why Samus has looked like Turd this contest. Rivalry does matter when a strong character is paired with a complete Fodder. You Pair Link up with Tingle and he doesn't do so well. --- http://gifsoup.com/view2/3219901/nakedlightning-o.gif http://static.desktopnexus.com/thumbnails/458080-bigthumbnail.jpg |
I've
always considered Squall, Dante and Sora near elites and probably in
the next 9 right under then NN. It's not really bothersome they all
three will end up pretty near one another in the stats this time. Makes
going forward more interesting, really. --- :> |
The_Djoker posted... You Pair Link up with Tingle and he doesn't do so well. No way, Link still wins. He's Link and is immune to being dragged down. --- :> |
From: Zylo the wolf | #192 The only good thing in what is probably the 3rd ot 4th strongest FF game has never been nominated in a contest. Such a force this Seifer is. --- http://gifsoup.com/view2/3219901/nakedlightning-o.gif http://static.desktopnexus.com/thumbnails/458080-bigthumbnail.jpg |
Not bad, Sora. 400 votes cut in 3 hours. Doesn't look like it'll be enough because he won't be able to cut at that rate once we get the last few hours of the poll. Squall defies all expectations. Eat it, red sox --- http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2369/mythbattlers.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |
From: abdou | #193 I would be shocked if this were the case. Squall/Seifer was a far more predominant rivalry in its game, it got a 1st seed to reflect its significance in the eyes of nominators whereas he had a 2 in the last battle, Sora went the other way on the rivalry seeding stakes. --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic fanboyism |
From: vcharon | #196 Bollocks. You don't understand this rivalry system. Link paired up with Tingle would not be as strong don't be silly. Link/Tingle Vs MArio/bowser Mario/Bowser wins that match. I would bet my house on it. --- http://gifsoup.com/view2/3219901/nakedlightning-o.gif http://static.desktopnexus.com/thumbnails/458080-bigthumbnail.jpg |
