Before I even bother trying to explain why this match was obvious (to me, anyway) from the beginning, please look at this poll: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2004 Kuja, the main villain of Final Fantasy 9, lost to a god damn glove. Now with that out of the way, onto another cheap shot at the wonderful X-stats. Frankly, I don't see any other reason why people thought this would be close other than the stats, and the fact that people thought Vivi had any chance in this match is yet another in a long line of examples of X-stats and common sense not being synonymous.
