Er, I meant Street Fighter, not SF2.

The point is that the heyday of SF2/SF2 Turbo is when the series was popular. Akuma didn't come until later. Street Fighter fans may love him more, but the general public knew Street Fighter back when M. Bison was the villain. Not Akuma.

Just noticed the pic now...for a villain, M. Bison is only rivaled by Mithos for the "get the hell out of this contest" award.

Grrr...Dang I dropped out of the top 50....
Well I guess I underestimated RE's popularity. I thought Luca might have a chance considering he was at least nominated for the Summer character contest (that was a deciding factor for me), guess I should pick cult favorites a lot less often.

Well I guess picking Bison based on name recognition was not a bad idea, I had no idea who Albedo before the contest. So Bison's lead is no surprise. Now that you guys mentioned it, the Bison picture is really funny.

Go Bison! You'd better think twice before messing with him.

From: Lucid Faia | Posted: 5/13/2005 1:07:02 AM | Message Detail
I hope this percentage of Bison's drops. If it stays in the high 60s, I'm officially worried about my Diablo > Bison pick. I'm worried enough about Diablo > Kefka as it is.

As well you should be. Ridley and Diablo are both going to suck. But I said this weeks ago, and no one bothered to care much.

On a similar note, I dare anyone to laugh at my Kefka over Bison pick now. I'll even give you five seconds before I laugh hysterically at you.

Keep it up, I DARE YA'! </Ghost>

Get the X out.

I thought you had Bison winning the division?

I'd see a Bison/Kefka match as 50/50. (not in percentage terms, but in terms of being a toss-up)

Though I still see the hierarchy as Diablo>Bison>=Kefka, and not sure where Ridley fits in. Though I have little confidence in that hierarchy; I could see Diablo, Bison, or Kefka winning the division. I don't see Ridley being stronger than Bison however.

I think that in terms of maximizing contest odds though, Bison was the best pick to win the division.

I'm laughing at you, because right now it looks like the correct pick is M. Bison over Kefka. Heheh.

Vote for Robotnik, he isnt a woman or a giant slug or a .... hand.

That is exactly why I don't think Akuma can keep up with some members of the original 12.

I'm laughing at you because I'm cosplaying as Albedo as we speak!!

YEEEEEEHEHEHEHAAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

At this point, I'm gonna wait and see if this becomes a SMRPG/SF2 or Ryu/KOS-MOS affair in terms of the day-vote. By my quick X-stattin' and convertin' from 2k3 to 2k4, if M. Bison = Ken, Albedo (who has 27.85% right now) is between JC Denton and Ratchet. Something ain't right there.....

Maybe Ken's number isn't right.

What would that give Albedo on KOS-MOS?
---
Hi,I'm partystar. ^_^

Albedo? Getting the day vote?

Highly doubtful.

Now, I could see Bison dropping a few points after this early vote. But he'll go back up during the actual daytime hours, I'm fairly sure of that.
---

And he's back to 73%.

I think Albedo would get ABOUT 24.89% on KOS-MOS (I rounded off a lil' and converted again...so, give or take a lil').

I only get defensive when people attack me out of no where, especially when they act like idiots and put words in my mouth and such. Seriously, go and read Dux X's topic. It's one of the biggest jokes I've ever seen, and take special note of how everyone that was arguing with me has since abandoned the topic.

*pelvic thrust*

~*ST*~
---
Get the X out.

Looking at the numbers right now...my best guess would put M. Bison roughly on par with Ken.
---
ALL YOUR VOTES ARE BELONG TO CATS

I've always suspected Ken was a little low. How could there be such a large drop between Ryu and the rest? That's what made me pick Bison to win this division, my confidence in Ken.

Then again... I picked Ken over Sonic in SC2K3. Heheh...

We could always try to judge Ken by his 2k2 numbers instead...2k2 Link and 2k3 Link are the same Link, right?

SO much for choking eh?
---
BANG BANG BANG VIPER BEAM!

Ken's 2k2 number is what convinced me to pick Bison to win two matches, and Bison could very well win the division. It depends on where Kefka truly lies.

But still, Bison is not nearly as popular as Ken. This match is just Albedo being a weak bastard more than anything else. Of course, when Bison flattens the winner of tomorrow's match (and he will), then I'll be a lot more concerned about my favorite clown.

~*ST*~
---
Get the X out.

Bison appears to be stabilizing in the upper 72% range for now.
---
Hi,I'm partystar. ^_^
Or maybe I'm Leonhart. That's for you to decide.

2K3 Ken is what I'm looking at...and considering that Ryu suffered a slight drop-off from '03 to '04 in relation to Link, we could be looking at Bison as being roughly equal to Kefka...but that would be TOO delicious.
---
ALL YOUR VOTES ARE BELONG TO CATS

I say push Bison to the Final Four. Wouldn't bother me a bit. All of this SFII nostalgia and the like on the board tonight has been hilarious. He's the only villain in this division I really care about anyway.

Ah, good times.
---
Hi,I'm partystar. ^_^
Or maybe I'm Leonhart. That's for you to decide.

By Ken's 2k2 numbers, assuming Albedo stays at 27.18% again M. Bison and Bison = Ken...about 14.46% would be Albedo's expected score on Link, putting him between Laharl and Pac-Man. Albedo would also get about 31.99 on KOS-MOS before SFF.

Dammit, missed the two-thousand sample while typing that up...work with this:

Albedo 27.09% 544
M. Bison 72.91% 1464

If you use Luca as being equal to Albedo (both villains from non-Square rpgs), Luca '04 projects out to 28.44% on Ken '03.
---
ALL YOUR VOTES ARE BELONG TO CATS

It's impossible to know where Bison lies, because neither of today's characters have ever been in one of these. All I know is that the Street Fighter ladder of popularity goes Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, then Akuma or Bison, likely with Akuma being more popular. Bison is strong, but Kefka's level is Ken/Sub-Zero territory. That's asking a lot.

~*ST*~

Has anyone mentioned yet that yesterday's match actually did finish with the 25th lowest vote total ever? Congratulations, we've cracked the leaderboard that was entirely dominated by 2k2 matches.

I assume you mean Scorpion, not Sub-Zero, and that's also assuming Ken's 2003 value isn't off.
