This ASV is not helping Kirby, looking at the US map maybe the west coast will help stem the bleeding.

Sephiroth's a few updates away from taking the US from Kirby too

Complete victory

Have I mentioned yet how much I love seeing FF7 characters rise throughout the day? Its so great.


Yeah, FFVII's total ignorance of trends is great. Yet still we saw stats topic veterans saying early on in this match that Seph's day vote could leave him in trouble... it's amazing how many people still make that mistake.

Using the Mario/Crono/X adjustments, a constant Big Boss right now using Mario/Big Boss projects Crono to pull 54.5% on Sephiroth. Now I believe Big Boss has increased but that's an extremely alarming number in favor of Crono!

And while I might waffle on a 24 hour match, I'd certainly bite the bullet on Crono beating him in a 12 hour night match considering how lopsided his trends are.

If Big Boss has boosted then that means that Luigi is super strong this year since Big Boss barely beat him with Ness in the poll too.

Don't get me started on Squall! I wouldn't bite on that, though. The star of FF8 going up against the villain of FF7 doesn't seem like a good SFF dynamic. Also we don't have a great read on him right now either.

...maybe post-KH3.

This diminishes my hopes for Squirtle over Cloud. I hope the rest of the round isn't too bland, geez.
#218 | Karma Hunter | Posted 9/4/2013 12:48:13 PM | message detail
But yeah, if you assume that Squall won't get SFFed by Sephiroth (which isn't the worst bet in the world, though I'd fear it), this match is very dangerous. Big Boss has got 43% on Sephiroth despite probably getting a touch of LPF. If you think Squall can get close to that he's essentially an indirect equal to Sephiroth.

Let's keep talking about how Squall and Sephiroth are possibly relatively close in strength nowadays.

I know ExTha will enjoy reading it.

#220 | AxemRedRanger | Posted 9/4/2013 12:51:21 PM | message detail
So we're thinking Sephiroth can SFF Squall nowadays when he couldn't really do it to Tifa in 2010 (or at least Sephiroth fans better hope he couldn't!) and considering Vincent's bomb this year maybe he didn't even do that much to him?

It's entirely possible that's right but it sounds extremely strange.

Crono has very good arguments over both Sephiroth and Sonic if my adjustments hold even remotely. My vibe is currently something like Link > Snake > Samus > Cloud > Mario > Mega Man > Crono > Sephiroth > Sonic.

...I honestly don't like putting Mega Man under Mario indirectly, but I'm gonna stick with it for now.


Mega Man under Mario doesn't feel right because of Mighty No. 9 boost right now.

Give that a week or so, then it's right.
#223 | Karma Hunter | Posted 9/4/2013 12:53:51 PM | message detail
Sephiroth has SFFed Tifa just fine in the past. Tifa/Big Daddy and Sephiroth/Tifa smacked of Missingno backlash. He's also SFFed Auron. I'm certain he would have SFFed Squall at his peak.

...but now, I don't know.

And hey, at the pace this is going, we could see Kirby closer to Big Boss than Sephiroth at the end of the match.

Which means Big Boss > Kirby was more likely than Kirby > Sephiroth, victory~

spoilers that's probably what'll happen because of how frontloaded Squirtle will be

Don't expect Cloud to come out of the gate as strongly as Seph did.

Or he might, who knows. I don't understand this contest anymore.

And the ASV is dead. Leon, I suggest updating your trends charts to reflect weekend/summer trends, because they are basically our trends for every match now:

12-1: Power Hour
1-9: First Night Vote
9-18: Day Vote
18-24: Second Night Vote

hey, wouldn't be the craziest thing to happen in this contest....!
#236 | Karma Hunter | Posted 9/4/2013 1:14:49 PM | message detail
Cloud's day vote against Squirtle is going to be better than Sephiroth's against Kirby here. Because as much as Kirby got rallied tonight, it's nothing compared to the legions of desperate rallies that manifest when a Pokemon is losing.

Also, KH, I agree with your Noble Nine ranking pretty much 100%. I would probably take Cloud > Samus and hope for the best, but he's probably the underdog.

This would be a better run-down of our trends now:

12-1: Power Hour
1-6: First Night Vote
6-9: Before Work Vote
9-17:30: During Work Vote
17:30-22: After Work Vote
22-24: Second Night Vote

Evidence for an After Work Vote is extremely limited, but one poll did suggest the idea of an After Work Vote.
