cloud v sephiroth in the finals?
that is SO totally rigged...
Yes, the contest is entirely rigged. The fact that they're the main characters of one of the most successful and infamous games ever, that GameFAQs has a disproportionate number of RPG players, that you still see tons of Sephiroth tags and avatars around, and that completely different characters won the poll last year is entirely irrelevant. What's important is that you keep your tinfoil hat on so Mario and Donkey Kong don't brainwash you into stealing money from the Tooth Fairy to help fund their campaign for next year.
What DarkZero said, but with more venomous sarcasm and a condescending sneer.
C'mon you guys, what did you expect? It's a popularity contest. What CJayC should do is retire the 1st winner after each contest. Put them in a hall of fame and not allow the character to participate in next year's battle. That way newer characters get a chance to shine. C'mon CJayC, use your cabeza!
BTW, battle rapping narrator from SF3-3S ownz you all!
Bored? "160"

This is getting ridiculous, so I think I'm going to take Luisinan's "venomous sarcasm and a condescending sneer" advice. The Clue Bat hungers!

Well last year he did have that interesting "evolution" Vs for Mario v. Link, and it's a little odd he had those exact Cloud and Sephiroth pictures laying around.... I hardly doubt someone could whip those up in the short amount of time it would take to make note of the final results/post the next poll.
And if someone thinks it's possible make me one of the following within the hour to prove me wrong!:
CJayC had at least a year to plan for the character battle and had clearly been collecting images for it for awhile, since he had images for 64 different characters to begin with. I wouldn't be surprised if he had already collected high quality images of the obvious frontrunners, which would be Sephiroth, Cloud, Snake, Mario, Link, Samus, etc. But if he hadn't, he still would've had a few days to find those Sephiroth and Cloud images. Check out the Finals bracket. By the time the poll got around to Snake vs. Megaman, there were only six possible winners, totaling fourteen possible combinations for the final round. By the time it got to Link vs. Cloud, there were only six possible combinations, and I doubt that those Cloud and Sephiroth images wouldn't have worked equally well in Cloud vs. Link, Sephiroth vs. Link, or maybe even either one of them versus Megaman.
Just because an annual event is well executed does not mean that it is rigged. It merely means that it was a once a year event and that it wasn't being organized by a retarded chimp. If you were running an event like this and it brought more traffic to your site than anything else during the year, wouldn't you apply some basic grade school math to your plan for it? Wouldn't you get images for it ahead of time instead of expecting them to magically appear one hour before they're needed? Wouldn't you at least apply some basic common sense and a full two minutes of thought to it? Apparently not, because such things, and by "things" I mean thinking, are obvious signs of rigging.
And on top of that, just look at what you're saying. Do you really think that there's some great rift of difficulty between rigging a poll and getting images off the internet, as if getting images off the internet was such a monumental challenge, a challenge so fraught with danger, intrigue, and venomous beasts, that only Grandma's Catering could achieve it? It's not as if CJayC had a choice between rigging the poll and not having enough money to save his wife from the mafia assassins that kidnapped her. The choice was between rigging the poll and HAVING TO GET IMAGES OFF THE INTERNET. Rigging this poll would be like going to a supermarket and stealing the food that's right next to the free sample cart. It's utterly retarded. It makes no sense whatsoever!
Use your heads, people. Seriously. Some of these arguments make the Chewbacca Defense look brilliant.

From your post time and defense that it's easy to find images on the internet I bet you DID try to meet my challenge!!! But noticing your post was being writen 7 minutes too late and knowing that prove me right you decide write as if I was the stupid one and save face.
Nice try, comrad DarkZero, nice try.
