Well, Cloud is now in front, but not by much. This poll has been going back and forth all day. Pretty amazing considering that there are over 70,000 votes so far and the gap is only 54 votes.

Mario 49.96% 38275
Cloud Strife 50.04% 38329

TOTAL VOTES 76604

I wouldn't be this excited about a poll, but I'm at work and I've got nothing better to do.

Cast my vote just now, the gap is down to 26 votes right now (Mario 42025, Cloud 41999). That *is* close.

Mario 49.96% 42905
Cloud Strife 50.04% 42969

I voted for Cloud Strife, of course

Gap opened to 64 votes, oh well. I hope Cloud wins.

Edit - I realised there is Sephiroth as well..... too bad I can't vote for him at the moment.

Edited 2nd time - Wow! Just in 5 minutes the gap is already closing down yet again..... this battle is really close!

Mario 49.99% 43867
Cloud Strife 50.01% 43888
TOTAL VOTES 87755

21 votes separating them..... now that is *really* close.

How did Cloud win over Alucard? I'm not a huge fan of Castlevania but still! (Of course, seeing as how this board is probably mostly in favor of Cloud I'd better keep my mouth shut.)

EDIT: Small error

mirex · « **Reply #8 on:** 2002-08-27 12:04:33 »

Is that for real ? It looks to me like that votes are multiplyed by ( 50 + rand(20) )

Aaron · « **Reply #9 on:** 2002-08-27 12:26:52 »

Well, Cloud ended up losing by about 200 votes.

Crono vs. Solid Snake?

Go Crono! Heh.

Kendrilian · « **Reply #10 on:** 2002-08-27 13:56:00 »

Chrono is beating Solid Snake by 1300 some-odd votes. GO CHRONO!

I can't beleive all you guys voted for cloud, I was busting my gut trying to get people to mario vote and shine get

Aaron · « **Reply #12 on:** 2002-08-27 21:53:55 »

Actually, I must admit I voted for Mario too.

LuniNutz · « **Reply #13 on:** 2002-08-27 22:21:18 »

...Oh well. There is still Sephiroth. With Cloud's loss though, I'm out of the running for a prize. I didn't really have a chance anyway.

Kendrilian · « **Reply #14 on:** 2002-08-28 13:32:42 »

I voted for Cloud! Now I vote for Link.

I fail to see how anyone could pass over a cool character like Cloud just to vote for some short, poor-hygiened, mushroom sniffin, princess plugging, high-jumping maniac plumber! Oh yeah, I know that Mario did have his own RPG, but he didn't say ANYTHING throughout the entire game. At least Cloud is somewhat socially approachable. I'd much rather see Cloud with his big sword win the vote, instead of this plumber guy with his poop-caked plunger. I like Mario games, but I don't find Mario much of a character.

Smurgen · « **Reply #16 on:** 2002-08-29 19:17:58 »

Remember the part in Mario RPG when he played with that kid and his action figures?
Mario had to save the princess and the world, but he took time to actually play with a little kid just cuz he was lonely and he asked.
Mario is a nice guy! He deserved his win!

Alhexx · « **Reply #17 on:** 2002-08-29 20:17:40 »

Oh no! Why does Sephiroth have to fight 'gainst Samus Aran?? That's unfair! I just don't know who to vote for... I think I've got to give a point to Samus, however, that won't help her much

Samus Aran - 29274
Sephiroth - 31965

I think the end may come down to Mario vs. Link.

Of course, there are two Squaresoft characters left in the fight, Crono and Sephiroph (assuming Seph. wins, but he's far enough ahead that I think he will).

Nintendo vs. Squaresoft, hmm...

Rubicant · « **Reply #19 on:** 2002-08-29 21:57:46 »

Mario v.s. Crono in the semifinals? I think the two are well-matched. Of course, they have disavantages. Crono is less well-known than mario. Mario didn't come from one of the best RPG's ever made. I hope mario likes his meatballs in tiny little bits, because Crono is comin to town!

Kendrilian · « **Reply #20 on:** 2002-08-30 12:53:23 »

In all honesty I hope that it comes down to Chrono and Link. That would be just awesome!

Aaron · « **Reply #21 on:** 2002-08-31 02:42:03 »

The vote is actually really close. Like 300 apart at this point (in the mid 40,000's on each side).

eerrrr · « **Reply #22 on:** 2002-08-31 10:14:21 »

I wouldn't say it was that close. I just voted for Sephiroth, Link has 13498 votes, Sephiroth 10011. How long does each poll stay open for?

Darkness · « **Reply #23 on:** 2002-08-31 15:56:42 »

i like link.

Oh well I was talking about yesterday's Mario vs. Crono. Each poll only stays open for a day.
