your 7 time champion, Link.

So, Snake needs to clear 69% on Kefka to avoid being projected to be doubled by Crono. Hail our top character in the Noble Nine.

Once again proven that all matches look good for Crono.

...except matches that actually involve Crono.

It'd be a fitting end to these contests if Cloud somehow got rally power to win a contest.

The FFVII always wins cries will be louder than ever.

Red is so right, there is literally no possible way to troll this site harder than for Reddit to rally Cloud as champ.

I'm pretty sure more people would prefer Draven as champ than Cloud.

Wait, there is one troll they could do worse - Sephiroth as champ! My god the anger would be palpable. Kefka would be pleased.

Yeah, I know, right.

If all you can do is get 47% on a Noble Niner, you might as well be fodder nowadays...!


well damn, Shepard must be turbofodder if he barely broke 20% on one....!

Please do it reddit. If Link can't win, I at least want to watch NintendoFAQs explode in outrage.

yeah, but reddit/4chan isn't actually smart enough to do what would actually piss everyone here off, they just do what they think pisses people off, which half the time is literally what the board wants in the first place

i just thought of the most effective twitter rally group on the planet. these guys not only have hundreds of thousands of followers(or more) each but they have thousands of people who read there every tweet.

the group im talking about is of course the fantasy football experts.

In 2007, Sephiroth was in another multi-way poll with Big Boss, and he put up 45.85%....

Against Big Boss, Mario, and Fox.

He's having a hard time reaching 38% today.

The board vote here should be interesting, considering all three characters are generally good with it.

The board seems to be excited about Kefka's pics and him being this deep into a contest for the first time since 2005 (Villains Contest, in case you'd forgotten we had one of those), so I think he'll get off to a good start and GlaDOS will get left in the dust.

Seriously, that label is being flung around so much. Most of them have looked horrid but they can't *all* be bottom of the NN.


Yeah. I think it would be better to say bottom-of-NN-level/tier, which would imply 36-38% on BL, which has historically where the bottom of the NN has been. Of course, there is no NN anymore, which is why I think saying it that way would be okay.

LeonhartFour posted...
Actually, last pic is really good, too.

People keep doubting Snake despite him being the only NN not to lay a dump in at least one match this year!

Well, Samus's two matches have been fine, too, I guess.
...
Well, I'd be flabbergasted if Snake lost. I'd just be concerned about a weird performance from him.


Samus looked just about as good as Snake so far, I'll say. Then again, Knuckles has proved to be really weak.... sad how everything potentially giving credibility to Cecil's strength has turned out to be weaker than expected, namely Urdnot Wrex and Knuckles.

And, even though nobody talked about a possible Vivi upset before he did the unthinkable, I would STILL consider a Kefka victory the most shocking of the whole contest with ease.

With Snake beasting all contest and Kefka looking impressive, plus having great pics, I don't see how GlaDos can look good here.

1/4th of the pics may be Solid S***, but Kefka seems much more likely to capitalize on that than GlaDos, who isn't really pic friendly at all.

Snake doesn't get anti-voted and hasn't ever lost strength. I'm not sure why people are upset happy. Granted no one saw Mario losing coming really, but at least there was a small Nintendo overlap you could excuse. There's nothing here to stop Snake from winning handily. He's not the type of character anyone anti-votes; that's how he got to be as strong as he is now.

Snake's been having bad board votes lately, actually. Not sure what's up with that. GlaDOS is early-vote heavy so I wouldn't be surprised if she has a good board vote. Kefka should win it overall.

Actually, looking at it, you're right. Alucard won the board vote pretty convincingly last round.

So yeah, Kefka should have the board vote here

Most here don't think Kefka will win. Others might just because of this contest, plus some bad Snake pics, but the general feeling here is that Snake wins without too much trouble. A Kefka upset would be exciting, though!

Actually, I just realized both of Snake's matches so far were day matches, and he's still looked beastly. Big Boss showing MGS's day vote isn't so bad anymore now that the ASV is essentially dead, too!
