Remember when it was generally understood that characters had shifting trends subject to significant random variation over 5-minute periods?

Or everything is a rally. That works too.
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
Feels like it's been a long time since I've been invested in Cloud winning a match, but here I am.

I think if (when) Cloud makes it back to Link he'll get a lead during the first five minutes this time.

Do this for gamefaqs.

Also this guy takes AGES to unlock in smash certainly in single player and has about 2 spirits and 2 music track related to him. He may as well not be in smash.

This update was Mario's peak percentage against Sephiroth, outside of the board vote and first few updates. From here to the end of the poll, Mario lost 1.95% against Sephiroth. Based on that, Cloud is projected to win with 50.97% (about 550 votes).

Now, you may have noticed, the projection has changed a lot in the last half hour. That's what happens with our new very low votals. Percentages are extremely volatile in such a low votal environment, and trend projections are not nearly as accurate as they used to be. So this isn't over, even not considering rallying, but I would say Cloud is looking like the favorite.

Yeah, what was up with that? It was almost like they wanted Mario to only be an afterthought.

Now that truly is a situation where the voters could go either way. Way different to a reddit dedicated to a fanbase, this is just gamers watching right? Or does he mainly stream Final Fantasy

he streams a variety of games. mainly fighting games and rpgs i think. but his audience knows FF7 is his all time favorite game.

Mario squeezes out the hour by 3 votes. Votals were notably high this hour - didn't fall off from last hour as usual.

if nothing else it'd be fascinating to see what sort of effect a twitch shoutout from a big streamer would have in these contests since this has never been tried before. this is also a fairly rare opportunity since the day of a particular match has to coincide with a big streamer that really likes that game being on

Based on Mario/Sephiroth, Cloud wins with 50.72% (~400 votes). Cloud fell back a little in the projection that hour, but still is on pace for the win.

Irrelevant. I wish I could let bygones be bygones but the sentiment remains the same.

Also Cloud deserves this. This is a rematch 15 years in the making.

Looking at the map, cloud has nearly everywhere but the US locked down. So at least we might see a brief overnight lead swap

Can someone please do it? I don’t have a twitch account.

If Cloud wins this match as a result of your donation, and I win a prize in this contest (I’m tied at #20 right now with 6 others, and have Cloud winning this match) I will pay you back. 💵 I promise. Deal?

I'll do it if you pay me $100

Done. It was a simple "as a fellow FF7 fan, please tell your followers to vote for Cloud in the GameFAQs character battle!"

His exact words after reading my donation: "Game Faks still exists!? Really??".

In Cloud's three updates since that was mentioned on stream, he got 65, 68, and 49 votes. Twitch streams clearly do not have any staying power whatsoever compared to rallying on reddit/twitter/etc etc. All that said, I promised XIII my support and he asked for me to vote/rally Mario the rest of the contest. Which I will. I can very, very easily get Mario back the 40 votes he just lost after I take a final tomorrow.

There are far dumber things to drop 10 dollars on. Knowing that twitch rallies mean dick was a good cause!

Mario pulls out a nearly 53% hour out of nowhere, and then Cloud gets a fairly good hour of his own.

Based on Mario/Sephiroth, Cloud wins with 50.45%. Despite that monstrous Mario hour, Cloud is still ahead in the projection.

Hope Cloud can at least take the lead during the night vote. He used to be able to pull hours off Link during it so it'd be pretty sad if he couldn't chase Mario down now.

We're also in the deadest of the dead zone where 54% means nothing. The morning vote probably decides this easily.
