Not only that, but just how long can a rally last anyway? The entirety of the day?

Seemed that way with Vivi.

Squirtle would lose by now by more than 1000 votes if not for the rally. There are rallies and they help him a lot.

Might be closer to 26,000. Still, significant amount higher than Snake against stiffer competition. This match is showing IMO that Cloud is still stronger than Snake is.
Really now? But I thought Cloud was going to steamroll Squirtle!

You really are stuck in 2009 or so. It's just getting sad at this point.

Where are the rallies coming from? I can't find anything on /v/ or /vp/


I would also like to know this. There are a couple on Reddit, but that's about it. (None of them took off), including the one's for Cloud and Leon as well).


Ask lightning-02, he seems to be the one doing the rallying for Squirtle. It was very evident when he took his rallies down.

Anyway, Cloud will still win this and then stomp Snake next round. The only thing that this match has proven so far is that pokemon can rally like crazy, and that Cloud is still clearly stronger than Snake.

Cloud isn't going to be able to a build a decent lead at this rate and it's going to be close at the end of the match. That's pretty bad news for him

4chan rallied ~10,000 votes for this poll for almost 24 hours straight off and on.

Edit: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3196

Not sure why they've never done anything like that for an actual contest match.

Even if Cloud wins how can you say he is stronger than Snake? Based on what?

Even though Cloud straight up beat Snake in 2010, Snake could only muster 22k votes against GLADOS and Kefka. Cloud looks like he's going to put up somewhere between 26-28K against a super-rallied Squirtle while Leon is leeching votes from him.

He's going pretty well right now but for all we know another rally starts up for Squirtle. I agree with you on the second point though; if Cloud's lead is less than.... 300, say, by the final hour, then make no mistake - aspies will make sure he loses.

isn't there a correlation between strength of competition and total votes? plus some of the Squirtle rally is spilling over to Cloud.

Not how it works at all. You can't just take Cloud's number of votes halfway through the match and multiply by two to get what he's expected to do by the end. Snake had over 14,000 votes at this point in his match too. Going strictly by vote totals also aren't a particularly good gauge of strength.

And man, I bet you think Kefka and GLaDOS are still fodder or fodderline like they were in 2008.

Maybe there's just no sense talking to some people.

So, are you going to vote for McCain or Obama this election?

Cloud briefly took the lead, and then Squirtle's rally exploded and he jumped back to a 200 vote lead.

You need to get that rally more focus since Squritle's lead is getting close to 100 than 200 now.

Where? Final Fantasy has been hemorrhaging fans this past decade and Cloud hasn't been relevant since 1997. Pokemon is still as popular as ever. If you try to rally for Cloud, it will probably just attract more Squirtle voters.
Face it, outside of GameFAQs FF VII is pretty much dead. Bringing attention to this contest will just cause him to lose even more.

Link's already eliminated and Cloud has looked awful this contest, so he's going to lose to someone else regardless. It'll definitely be Snake if it's not Squirtle.

Snake's even already beaten Cloud twice before!

I think someone is stuffing for Squirtle at this point. Every time Cloud looks like he's making significant cuts Squirtle gets these magical huge updates and then levels off again. If it were just rallying it wouldn't make sense for them to save their votes for a point like that...they'd just vote consistently.

Please... don't make us look like Link fans. Squirtle is legit - he's strong, and being rallied. I don't think this is stuffing - Link fans actually cried real tears over Draven 'stuffing'; we should lose with dignity.
