In a way, I hope Sora does win, so Squirtle can have a chance against Snake, but I'm more a fan of beating Sora than Snake.

This is honestly just pretty awful.

I love Pokemon probably only slightly less than XIC does.

But this is a joke and the final death knell for a contest that started off so promising.


calm down bro, Sephiroth won his division

I ran this poll on the Pokemon X board to see whether Pikachu or Blue were more popular over there:

Take this as you will.

yeah and he's going to get last place in a poll with two characters just because they're being rallied from off-site.

awesome.

I doubt it happens but Blue really could be our first true example of RSFF in action outside of Samus/Mario.

yeah, i just can't see Pikachu win the SFF fight with Blue. his base is stronger so he'll look better, but Blue is gonna make Pika look like a midcard, not the other way around. he's the trainer. trainer trumps Pokemon.

This is why I firmly believe it would be Blue that gets rallied and not Pikachu.

Haha. I take it you're on GAF these days?

Yeah... Mumei posts on GAF now and then...

So I guess it's true, everyone from GAF did come from GameFAQs.


Wait, do I know you there, too?

Eh, we've talked a couple times in passing but I'd be rather impressed if you remember me. I've got the same name there as I do here, though I don't post all too frequently.

I've just always found you to be an incredibly notable poster and was unaware that you had such an old account from this site. The fact that you frequented board 8 was just icing on the cake. That said, I've found you one of the more level headed and approachable people on the site; you've helped me once or twice with some annoying situations that I felt better about approaching you with than other mods.

...thanks again for helping with Amir0x a while back. >_>

Yeah but both Cloud and Seph may end up losing directly to Pokemon. I think Mewtwo can finish in second next round.

Post your dream finish for the contest

Sora > Pikachu
Samus > whoever
Red > Squall
Charizard > Mega Man

Mewtwo > Draven
Squirtle > Snake
Samus > Charizard

Samus Aran wins because of Pokemon LFF in the finals. Literally only me and GMUN are happy.

Hey, if we somehow escape this contest with a non-Draven, non-Pokemon winner.

Well, I'm not sure I'd be happy, but that really does look like the ideal outcome at this point!

I'm taking him for second. I think Sephiroth is directly stronger, but I think that if there's any non-Draven rallying, Mewtwo will be the beneficiary of it.

At this point I wish Big Boss beat Sephiroth so I could say 5 Pokemon, 2 Snakes, L-Block and Draven.

I can still say two Noble Niners though.

If Mewtwo beats Draven, there'll probably be enough Poke-support spillage into the next poll for me to consider Squirtle the favorite over Snake. In that case, whoever makes the final from the bottom of the bracket (be it Samus, L-Block, Mega Man, or even Pokemon Trainer Red) will be the big favorite to win it all.

Of course, Draven in the way and all that.

When the Mewtwo ralliers see that Draven is 20,000 votes ahead, they'll give up and Sephiroth can take 2nd place.

Honestly, I'd expect the not-Draven votes from the Draven rally to favor Mewtwo.

Sephiroth is just going to be so toxic in any rallying situation.

Actually, yeah, Cloud, that's completely pathetic. These rallies today are nothing, I repeat, NOTHING, compared to what Draven and SBAllen brought against our hero on Monday. And he still ended up within 1%.

Since Pokemon tends to resist overlap more than FF7, I'm willing to bet that most of Draven's percentage will get drawn from Sephiroth.

This will only finish about 2700 votes ahead of Sephiroth/Kirby. Even if you subtract those 2700 votes and assume they ALL went to Squirtle, then Cloud will only match Sephiroth's margin of victory, and in a match where he and his primary opponent are eating up a much larger chunk of the overall vote.

Pathetic indeed. Thank you for actually showing up when challenged, Link.
