Would be awesome if the lead was kept under 100 for the rest of the match. It really is hilarious that this "bonus match" is the best one of the contest.


Yeah and it's shame that this sorry ass for a contest wasn't given better bracket placings. Cloud on Mario/POkemon Side while Samus and Snake going to Links side would have made it A LOT better.

HE used to be a European Juggernaut


Thats a total exaggeration. The FF series does well in Europe but it's hardly a juggernaut. FFIX lost ground to Phoenix Wright and FFX to Viewtiful Joe for gods sake. >_>

Sonic and Guybrush/Monkey Island are european juggernauts.

Yeah as I have said the low votes hurt Clouderoth.If this was even a year ago where we had around 110.000 votes the match would be over in an hour.

Except the whole point of the contest was for Cloud/Sephiroth to have a chance against Link. While the bracket could have been made better we can't make changes like that because we didn't know at the time.

A lot of drama on the board, accusations of rallying, kiddy jabs, flaming everywhere.

I guess it shows contests still have the potential to excite people if it gives them a reason, though highly ironic the only proper match we've seen all contest is also the only match which doesn't matter in the slightest.

You could place Link and Cloud anywhere in the bracket and they would meet up eventually. If Cloud wasn't able to make it to Link, he was never going to beat Link. However, the match Cloud loses in would probably be a good one as opposed to getting killed by Link. You are right that pre-contest there was no way to know that Cloud/Sephiroth could have been given a much better path. No one was supposed to be able to challenge them except Link.

WE do know the N9 standings and we DO know that #1 and #2 should be seperated. IT's been done in every contest for the last 7 years now so why stop now?

Nothing could be done about the finals in this contest. It's not like Link getting 58% on Cloud or smashing Pokemon is all that more interesting than Link killing Mario.

Several schools are still in here in Utah at least. I assume at least part of the other states' schools will be the same.

Thats a total exaggeration. The FF series does well in Europe but it's hardly a juggernaut. FFIX lost ground to Phoenix Wright and FFX to Viewtiful Joe for gods sake. >_>

I agree with this. I looked at results from this contest and in Cloud/Seph Vs. Kratos/Zeus the regional difference weren't that extreme, while Link did noticeably better in America in all of his matches. If anyone has extreme Geolocation results it's Link's American numbers.

He's stronger than Seph for sure. I don't know if he'd beat Cloud 1v1 but he probably would. He's officially the #2 strongest character and the 2nd strongest indirectly to Link. Of course Cloud will always get bigger % on Link.

I have no idea.

When I used to be in school, I would have a half-day on the final day of school before getting off for Christmas break. A half-day means that the length of the school day is cut in half, which means I get out at 10:50 AM instead of 2:20 PM. That means I'm home by like 11:30 AM.

Except he's not. We know Cloud last year was very close to Samus/Snake/MArio so why not have in that Bracket. Link is #, but Cloud has been declining, we know this.

Except Cloud had Sephiroth on his side which was suppose to make him easily unmatched to everyone besides Link.

You're trying to rewrite history.

If the Poketrainers lose this it would be a legendary choke. They're not going to seriously get outrallied by FFVII, are they?

Edit: I mean, losing because of a huge night vote is fair enough, but they actually led coming into the morning vote.
