And for the record, I don't think any FF7 character short of Cloud and Sephiroth would beat Aeris, or even make it an all-day affair.

It's probably a storm in a glass of water though, because whoever in the Aeris/Tifa/Vincent trio gets in gets fed one or two losers, before losing to an elite character in round 2 or 3, knowing CJayC.

Epona HAS a fanbase. There were people who had a serious problem with the horse not being named Epona before we learned we could name it ourselves. I dont expect Epona to get in this contest, but I dont see why she couldnt leech off of Link's fanbase since the name IS recognizable and there arent really Epona haters out there.

You catch the Icons show on <insert name of the creators>? I have only played Maniac Mansion, but listening to those talk about how much fun they had coming up with ideas for those games was almost enough to make me want to play them all.

My logic for Zelda beating Vincent is that new-school Square characters have taken a drop in popularity. Please don't make me explain this again. I've already explained it a bunch in this topic.

I probably would have picked him to beat her in 2003. If Zelda Vs. Vincent happened after Advent Children, I might have to change my prediction, but I don't think it will. Personally, I don't see Zelda beating Vincent by a lot or anything. It would be very close.

--Tnote/Heroic Viktor

Vincent would get the same ride of support that Frog got last year. Except from a more popular game. I don't see why he wouldn't be up to at least Auron's level... And I don't even like him. I still think that Tifa would be the third strongest FFVII character. Vincent may be more of a favorite, but I still think Tifa consistently ranks up as a favorite of fans overall, even though she has less fans who like her the MOST.
