I dunno, Phoenix looks great to me. Vincent looks terrible yeah, but if he needs a good picture to avoid losing to Phoenix Wright well... Doesn't seem like he'd have won here anyway.

what if reddit just trolls us and rallies for Phoenix instead


When the only reddit rally right now is for Mewtwo? Not likely.

...Someone find an Ace Attorney subreddit STAT, I'll make the topic. Phoenix to win, let's do this

Vincent is the worst character in FFVII. Tifa is somewhat salvaged because she's awesome in Disc 1, but Vincent has nothing. I'm GLAD he's getting his ass kicked. The guy always sucked and should be < Barrett and NOW HE MIGHT BE HAHAHA

Vincent is the most powerful character in FF7, so he has that. Otherwise, yeah...dude is strictly mediocre if you don't know his gimmick.

There is no way the pic alone is causing Vincent to look this bad.

i just have a hard time believing that even with pic sabotage that vincent could be this bad

That front page pic is horrible, I almost didn't click on it but then I read the name title and thought "er yeah.....that's Vincent from his Turk days" Then you go to the vote total page and his classic image is posted there.



Just for Lulz, Somebody oughta upload the next Link pic in a blue or red tunic or something:)
#75 | paulg235 | Posted 8/20/2013 9:15:31 PM | message detail
I refuse to believe Vincent would do this terribly against these two with this pic if he was supposed to easily win this match to begin with. There's only so much damage caused by a Turks Vincent pic I could buy before coming to the conclusion that Vincent still be losing to Mewtwo here even with a GOOD picture.

Doubt a pic is doing this much damage. Voters can't possibly be stupid enough to not vote Vincent just because his design is different can they? It still says Vincent in the picture and in the poll itself.

Why use such an obscure Turk pic?

I should only get -12 for this match if Vincent can pull himself into 2nd place.

But wow, this round is killing me. Here's what I have so far:

0 points for the Link match since I had Yoshi over Raiden.
6 points for going with Shepard > Shepard > Tharja.
-18 for the Draven match.
0 points for the Sonic match for having Dracula over Barret.

Tifa looked fine, Barret looked as good as anyone could have expected pre-contest against Sonic, Aerith looked good against Shep. And Cloud and Seph have been anti-vote magnets against weaker characters for years.

Vincent alone seems to have fallen off a cliff.

Also, if Reddit rallies are truly going to tamper with non-Draven matches, then Pikachu is a lock over Crono. The rat might have it in him to steamroll Sora even with Blue in the poll.

And also, before I hear more ire directed toward the picture:

It's 15 minutes in and Vincent is still getting doubled. No picture would have changed this result. Thank Draven and Reddit for this.

The votals are just about on line with Link's first match. There is literally no rally of any real size right now. That is a lie.

The rally thread for Mewtwo already faded into obscurity. This is natural strength.

Whether the pic sabotage is wholly responsible or not people are still douches for doing it. It's really pathetic. And I say that as someone who doesn't even like Vincent.
