What themes will we be blaring for each of these guys?

Allen didn't screw VV, Phoenix Wright didn't screw VV, Mewtwo certainly did not screw VV,
nor did paulg screw VV. Vincent Valentine screwed Vincent Valentine.

I've got an extensive list of Legend of Zelda music to play for Vivi. Link is kryptonite to Mario.

Vivi doesn't have jack in his pocket. All the rally/stuffing power is gonna come from Mario for the last 80 minutes of this poll - remember, he's the overwhelming bracket favorite and him losing this 50/50 match would violate one of my Cardinal Close Match rules!

Anything is possible, of course. The future is not yet written. But Vivi is an overwhelming underdog.

Nah, we need to channel Sephiroth, because if there's one thing he does well, it is to kill Mario.

When Mario wins, I think I'm done with the contest in general. Vivi turning the bottom part of the bracket into a clusterf*** was going to be the saving grace for when Draven ended up doing his thing. With things proceeding as planned, there's nothing interesting to look forward to. FF7 tanking is pretty old hat.

Why? Mario should have always been the favorite.

If you didn't see this coming, you haven't followed the contests very long.

I was baffled when people were talking like Mario was going to probably lose.

No, that's far worse for your upset chances in a 50/50.

The best indicators of winning a 50/50 match, in order:

1. Being a joke character.
2. Going against an FF7 character.
3. Being the overwhelming bracket favorite.

If Vivi wanted to win this match he needed to be up more than 51/49 most likely.

How strange....I hope Vivi wins too. Turning the contest completely upside down is far, FAR preferable to a single rallied character dominating without any drama.

The contest needs to be completely broken before it can be remade into something exciting.

I made my account in 2004.

Though I've read descriptions of 2002 Mario/Cloud and Mario/Crono and 2003 Mario/Crono it's only now that I feel I can begin to feel the impossibly calm rage that drives so many of the users here to acts of greatness.

Mario is secretly deliberately throwing the match to his opponents to trick them into thinking they will win, then he trolls them and wins the match.

The thing that gets me the worst is that Mario being the bracket favorite shouldn't even matter at this point. No one should think they have any chance to win if they're paying attention to the contest. There will be enough Draven pickers to nail down the prize.

What's funnier is that this isn't rallying Mario over Cloud or Crono. This is rallying to beat Vivi, one of the unluckiest and unassuming contest guys there is. It's like beating up a little kid for his lunch money.

After the kid stole it from your pocket first and got halfway down the street before you caught him.

A one vote stall won't cut it...

If the Vivi ralliers have anything left, they better go into overdrive, or else Mario wins easily by 150+ votes.
