I was looking through the old stats topics, and I found a yoblazer post that made me laugh.

Didn't Link pull in 43% against Seph, Snake, and Cloud. 50% against Vincent, Bidoof, and Zelda seems...off.

About as off as our Noble 9 breaker losing to a ****ing Pokemon.

Is Squall even the favorite anymore?

Given the past few matches I feel like he's moved back to underdog because what is he supposed to do in the face of this stuff?

As much as I would love for Vivi to move forward from this match, he needs to give it up now and let Mario scoot ahead.

So many excuses for Mario. He's awful, accept it.

*sees Mario losing to Vivi*

"Oh man, I can't wait to read the stats topic posts from the past hour!"

*sees 34 pages of posts in an hour and a half*

"Oh Christ ... nevermind."

Though I have Mario in my bracket, I can't help but root for Vivi. Think I may have to abstain this time ...

Eh **** it. Go Vivi!

I feel confident in Squall, but Missingno rallies could totally kill him like Auron. Hopefully that won't happen though.

Also, why do you say the trends favor Vivi, red sox? Europe goes to sleep later at night, the ASV might actually exist now that some people are starting school, and FF9 is very early-vote oriented.

Nintendo/Mario/day vote characters have consistently lost about 2% from 1 PM to the end this contest, while Square/night characters have gained that much. You raise an interesting point about the ASV reviving though. Probably not a big deal, but Vivi's gains may be weakened a bit.

Well, that's the thing.

If that match isn't interfered in, I like Squall's chances. I just don't like the chances of that match being left alone!

L-Block is as much of a forced joke as Misno. And we all saw what happened yesterday.

Now you're just being ridiculous.

It's Mario, so it's gotta be at least 5:1!

How many Vivi rallied votes are estimated?
I just wonder if we could get Morrigan>Sephiroth if /v/ bothered
They hate Seph and defiently like Morrigan
7000 is not such a big deal considering the fact Seph will barely get 10% of the rallied votes

This is the guy that was supposed to be able to hold well against Draven, huh? If he can barely keep up against a rallied Vivi, then just... lul.

Vivi winning would be amazing, by the way! Doubt he keeps it up but it'd be great.

And if Mario can't stand up to a rallied Vivi, Link is definitely screwed against Draven, no f***ing question.

The real question is if we can rally Shepard to beat Link for second.
