Well Nemesis > Wesker is pretty much COMPLETELY official now. And it even looks like Nemesis is greater by quite a margin.

This is about the time when I get to laugh at RPGuy for arguing so vehemently that Wesker was stronger than Nemesis and that Wily was going to beat Ocelot, both of which were claims based off of complete assumptions of the strength of new characters.

Of course I suck at actually making fun of people, but pointing it out is good enough for me. Don't worry, I still <3 you, Guy =p

Kekfa is doing on slightly worse than what he was getting against Mithos at this time. So right now Kefka is doing exactly as he should be. We'll need to wait a few more hours to see if Kefka's percentage falls faster or slower than it did against Mithos.

Something tells me that Diablo is going to waste Kefka no matter what picture he has.

Look at what has gone on ni this contest thusfar. Master Hand, a villain that suffers from the "I'm just the guy you fight at the end of the game because I have nothing better to do" disease, wound up beating Kuja.

Mother Brain, a villain that suffers from the "I'm just the guy you fight at the end of the game because I have nothing better to do" disease, did far better than expected against Lavos. Lavos, a villain that suffers from the "I'm just the guy you fight at the end of the game because I have nothing better to do" disease, turns around and does very well against Liquid Snake.

Sin, a villain that suffers from the "I'm just the guy you fight at the end of the game because I have nothing better to do" disease and owner of the worst picture in the contest, turned a 65-35 deficit against Robotnik into a respectable 2000 vote loss.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but Diablo is another villain that "suffers" from the "I'm just the guy you fight at the end of the game because I have nothing better to do" disease. Now if all the aforementioned characters can do so well, I fail to see how Diablo, a character who I would pick to wipe the floor with any of these guys, could be weak in the very least.

Bison will be lucky to break 48%, though bear in mind that I'm basing this off of consolefreak's math.

End bosses are typically memorable. You save the best for last when you maek a Villain. Look at Ganon... you only see him what, twice in OoT before the final area. Just because they are barely seen doesn't mean they're weak... if you can make a boss fight to remember then you've made a boss to remember. that, and it always caps off a game's total experience, so even if it's not spectacular the final fight is more memorable than any other boss fight that wasn't. For this reason "characters" like Lavos can do alright for themslves.
---

Actually it's 0.13% worse. It still comes down to who does batter in the day vote. Wesker lost it to Luca Blight, so that's not exactly a good thing for him.

No, because I'm not an idiot. I'm suggesting that a villain isn't going to be weak just because they're little more than an end-boss or mid-Boss. These contests are becoming franchise voting affairs more than anything else, and thought games =/= characters, one would have to be a complete fool to disregard the fact that the game a character appears in is a huge factor. It isn't transitive by any means (I think Diablo would be stronger than Lavos for example, even though CT would beat D2 in a poll), but it's a factor that quite clearly exists.

Call it a hunch, but I think that Diablo is going to be an absolute powerhouse in the Ruin Division. I should have stuck with my initial instinct.

Lavos is way more than just the end boss fight--a huge amount of the game is focused on him.

And from what I've heard, it's similar with Diablo.

Right. The battle with Diablo (at least in the second installment) is not extremely climactic, but throughout the whole game, you keep hearing about Diablo's naughty acts.

Current Match Prediction -- Kefka vs. Wesker
Spring 2005 Contest -- 23/24 points

Well of course they're both mentioned throughout the game... but a name alone isn't enough to put you into a character contest, let alone win you a match. tends to be they need to do something, anf a final boss fight is a memorable thing to be a part of. Look at the villains that are known powerhouses and tell me that they don't have memorable final bouts.

But then why is Wesker doing so much worse than Nemesis? It probably won't stay this way, but at the current percentage Wesker would lose to Ansem. Ocelot would have to bomb pretty badly for Wesker to come out on top.

I got ONE battle in the Ruin division right. That's right, only the Kefka/Mithos one. Everything else was wrong, but it's good that he is winning against Wesker, though, I don't think Diablo will lose...

I have a feeling that Diablo is going to wreck Bison tomorrow and ultimately beat the hell out of Kefka. But I do not think that he'll be beating Ganon, or even getting that close to him.


But, wow, Kefka is doing about 11% better than I thought he would. That's... crazy.

Top 20 may not happen, but Top 30 is guaranteed at this point. There's no doubt that Diablo is going to be putting up numbers large enough for him to walk out of this division without much trouble, effectively taking Ridley with him and raising him upward. It wouldn't be surprising if Diablo hit 60%+ on everyone he faced from here to Ganon.

After seeing his run, I would love to actually see Kerrigan in a contest. I'd feel much more secure about taking her over a lot of people after seeing how well Diablo may perform.

And I'm pleased that Wesker got his ass kicked. I was tired of hearing about how he was going to beat Kefka. Turns out he's weaker than Mithos.

Kefka's percentage will undoubtedly drop during the day, as has been said. I'll wait until I wake up tomorrow before I say anything about that.
