Well, here's the problem. Cloud's power base, the place that always returns 85% for him against Link, is barely supporting him tonight.

Cloud should get a big percentage jump in the Philippines soon. It's still early in the match and with very few votes in the Philippines.

Squall is actually more popular relative to Cloud outside of the U.S. so he might not get a ton of help there.

At least, that's what Geolocation results in 2008 seemed to indicate.

I basically didn't give up until Link/Alucard - you could sort of explain away everything else, but not that. It was more Cloud/Seph still having a shot at redemption and they aren't taking it.

wow. It's like losing our last 3 perfects on Cloud/Sephiroth 2004, except far far worse.

You were close. There was actually only one perfect bracket going into Cloud vs Sephiroth 2k4. The person has Sephiroth winning the tournament so the match did wipe out the last perfect bracket.

Would anyone complain about the following bracket for the next CB? We have Link removed to face the winner. Then we have either a 64- or 128-character bracket with the other 8 Noble Niners being the #1 seeds. They are set up so the quarterfinals are as follows:
Mario
Crono
Samus
Sephiroth
Mega Man
Sonic
Snake
Cloud
(Mega Man and Crono could be switched, I guess.)

This is actually pretty good for Cloud/Seph considering last CB Sephiroth was letting Tifa break 40% on him. Their not the favourites, but their chances haven't changed from this result.

I disagree, they have changed. I would have made them underdogs to Link pretty much no matter what, unless maybe they broke 80% or something - but they needed a higher score than this for their stock to be neutral.

Now they may very well end up with a tripling, but still, that just barely matches what Cloud did to Squall 1v1. And Seifer is weak. So this means that Sephiroth isn't added much synergy or "team chemistry" to the team.

Whereas we've seen that Link/Ganon outdoes what Link does 1v1. I'd say that's more because the opponents are weaker than Link/Ganon being stronger than Link, but the fact is that Link/Ganon is outdoing the field by more than Link alone.

I think Mario vs. Bowser could be the second strongest team.

Mega Man should most certainly not switch with Crono there, that would be the worst possible placement for Mega Man. Him and MMX have been thrown against Mario and Link way too many times the past few contests. Since 2008, Mario is 4-0 on MMX and 1-0 on MM and Link is 1-0 on MMX and 1-0 on MM.

It's worse than Snake vs FFVII because at least Snake wins that sometimes and still has a shot at beating Cloud in a fair match at some point.

On the plus side, aside from Trainers, and if Mario doesn't get murdered too badly, we might see the Noble Nine all in the top 10.

Well, I said from the get-go that Mario/Bowser > Cloud/Sephiroth was more likely than Cloud/Sephiroth > Link/Ganon, so we end up getting a potentially really awesome match wasted by poor bracket setup.

Agreed, good match was wasted.

Early part of Trainers vs. FF7 will be fun though. I see a repeat of Sephiroth vs. Missingno. I think the Trainers could lead for a while there. And that first update will be a complete slaughter.

Mario/Bowser still have no chance at Cloud/Sephiroth, and win or lose, Cloud/Sephiroth are closer to Link/Ganon than Mario/Bowser. Cloud's still good for beating his percentage from last year pretty easily, probably 48%, maybe 49%, but winning seems difficult right now unless C/S can do better with the next 23 hours.

Deny. Well, it might be closer in the sense that Trainers/FF7 may have a lead change, but as far as the final result, no. Trainers/FF7 may end up looking like CT/FFVII- Trainers holding a lead for an hour and proceeding to get obliterated overnight.

Cloud and Seph are making pretty good progress considering the opponent is Squall. Looks like they'll likely outdo Link's performance on MM after all, to keep the hope alive. But Link's performance on Alucard is looking out of reach.

If Cloud manages to land in the 75.99 to 77.59 range, it'll mean Link broke the 9 year old Round 4 blowout record one day before Cloud would have broken it and pushed it out of reach.

Would anyone complain about the following bracket for the next CB? We have Link removed to face the winner. Then we have either a 64- or 128-character bracket with the other 8 Noble Niners being the #1 seeds. They are set up so the quarterfinals are as follows:
Mario
Crono
Samus
Sephiroth
Mega Man
Sonic
Snake
Cloud
(Mega Man and Crono could be switched, I guess.)


I would have Crono / Mega Man / Sonic duke it out, as well as Samus / Mario / Sephiroth / Snake. The only way would be:

Mega Man
- Crono (2-seed with MM)
Sonic
Cloud
Sora
- MissingNo etc. (high seeds, make the division more uncertain - another Heart division)
Mario
Snake
Samus
Sephiroth

I don't think Crono has a prayer for a 1-seed slot anyways.

I expected Cloud/Seph to beat whatever Link/Ganon got yesterday, yeah. This is a major SFF match, Cloud's not doing better here with Seph than he did by himself once. Though, Link/Ganon's result was probably more surprising- I thought they'd come in a bit under the tripling and they came in well over it. Must be Skyward Sword I guess.

I have to say that every single one of these pics is absolutely horrible. Out of 11 pics, Cloud/Sephiroth have now had exactly 0 pictures with original FFVII artwork. That's getting a little annoying, because it's easily the best art for them.

The Squall/Seifer pics are really bad too though, I mean really, the 60-1, 60-6 and 60-7 pics? That's borderline trolling, right?

We've never had such a weak final 8 entrant in Alucard/Dracula Before either.

No doubt Linkadorf look good. But we've had this situation bfore, Cloud last year looked sub par against Samus/Snake and people expected link to 55 Cloud, he got less than 54 and still lost outside US.

I think the reason why Links been putting these ridiculous % is the opponents he's been facing are really REALLY bad in europe. MM is invisble in Europe, he's barely a mid carder. Almost lost to Cid Highwind in europe.

Seriously I understand what you're saying Red Sox but SFF or no SFF...FFVIII still has a decent fanbase on GF and they aren't going to just vote Cloud/seph, especially the FF8 fans i know they hate how popular FFVII is.

FF8 is also a pretty strong game. 4th possibly 3rd strongest behind 7,10 and 6.
