Best 500 post in a long time, thanks @ninkendo

It's actually kind of funny that if you entirely remove just Peru from this contest, Tifa still has a comfortable lead

Tifa for the win.

Peruvians ruin everything

And we still haven't reported Peru to SBAllen? It's probably just a VPN quirk, but still.

Did we ever get a response back about the Peru thing?

Oh we never reported it?

I probably made that 13 years ago and this point

I don't wonder, I know exactly how much time.

I got really lucky that I had today off and didn't have to be checking my phone every break at work.

34 votes left until X takes this.

It's worth it for matches like this.

I think it's only this match since it's still a complete toss up. Unless do people sit and F5 a match like Luigi/Tails?

Tails is gonna have that comeback, just you wait.

Aaaaany update now.

I use NordVPN and after reading the previous topic about Peru I checked out of there was anything aus. Every single Peru server has voted, though I can’t tell for who.

Will check other countries and report back.

11k vote cut for Tails

Tifa still holding up pretty well. I'm waiting for X to take off but she's holding strong. If she can just push that lead up to 100 again...

Has anyone tried going to GameFAQs and rallying there? I hear those guys love FFVII.

The last hour of this match is going to slaughter Tifa. She needs at least 100 votes going into that.

Oof, that one f***ing hurt.

That lead was cleaved in two.

There is no logic at all to those updates.

Phew, previous update was just Tifa dropping off a cliff. Back to business.

This is too much to my heart
After so many close matches that I didn't give a s*** about and I thought this is probably a contest fatigue, I actually care this time

X, take my energy!!

\o/

BT, last topic posted...

Also, 1pm now, the stalling will stop and X will begin to take off. Again, these trends are set in stone and were never in question

Tifa won the last hour by 5 votes, incidentally.

Okay now we're in trouble.

So X will take the lead in 1 hour?

X gon give it to ya

13 O_O

And next update Tifa will soar back to 35 like always

ded

Lead change this match is just too awesome

Give or take 45 minutes.

Man if only people like big t*** Tifa would win. Okay she has a personality too, duh. Still didn't expected Tifa to be so close. I was expected at least a 52% win for MMX.

Best match of the contest so far IMO

Chief called, he said this is it.

No doubt.

High stakes, close match, lead changes. Everything you can ask for in a contest.

I think I figured it out.

Pokemon aren't the plucky underdogs. They just happen to face a bunch of Square characters. The plucky underdog is whoever is facing a Square character at the time.

Surprised to see X still in this considering once a character starts doing anything over night, that's spelled doom for every other match this contest
