There have been times since then where I've been bummed out by a result, but I've never been able to work up anger at one. There were people talking up this as an upset pick, but I didn't buy it at all. Master Hand was such a joke. There surely weren't that many people who would vote for a friggin' glove over a well-developed Final Fantasy villain, right? Kuja even got the ideal match picture: His Trance form where he looked like a Super Saiyan rather than his girly thong appearance. Well, the day of the match arrived and Kuja jumped out big early, getting up to 57% by the first freeze (which was 15 minutes in back in those days). However, Kuja struggled to build any kind of lead at that point, and while it wasn't cutting the actual vote margin, Master Hand was steadily bringing the percentage down. Then once morning arrived, Master Hand started cutting and took the lead in a few hours. And then the glove just left Kuja in the dust, getting up to nearly 54% and winning by over 5000 votes by the end. It was so demoralizing to see how quickly everything turned. That was the first time we really got to see the day vote that Smash would become renowned for over time. Smash fans are the worst, man. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
