Yeah, there is Aeris/Sora. Forgot about that one. Still, I think it's a different case from the others.

Squall Leonhart's Road to the Summer Contest 2005 Championship
Round 1: (7) Geno

Note that the optimal value for Sephiroth did come out to be 42.9989%, which rounds to the attractive value of 43.00%. A fortunate coincidence.

If we assume that Magus would still beat Ganondorf, then those stats would have Magus right on Crono's ***...and ahead of Mario. That's hard to believe.

Well, I think it's safe to say that Nintendo has grown in strength this year. It can't be a coincidence that the first two matches got so many more votes than this one is, and this one doesn't have a real Nintendo character in it.

Zero did make his debut on SNES and Hayabusa debuted on the NES, but they're probably more renowned for being on other systems now...

Is that against 2k3 Link or 2k4 Link?

Because if it's 2k4 Link, then Samus has no chance against him.

Bah, I guess Sephy vs. Samus might be a toss-up this time around.

Samus isn't getting anywhere near Sephiroth.

I am in disbelief that we are discussing "vote ceilings".

You know what matches I kill for after looking at those adjusted SpC2k5 stats: Gannondorf vs Sonic/Mega Man, Bowser vs Magus/Snake (YAH WERE GETTING ONE), and of course Sephiroth vs Samus.

Mario vs. Conker! final match! I can see it now!

I thought the idea of vote ceilings went out the window when CATS got more votes than all of his past performances combined against Ansem.

If people bought Mega Man/Link SFF, then I dont see why Mega Man/Yoshi SFF is that farther off. Seriously, its all BS.

I didn't flat-out suggest a vote ceiling, but...yeah, I do believe that 60,000+ votes is a bit much to expect out of Lloyd. Unless he was up against Tanner or Ms. Pac-Man. >_>

Mega Man's glory days were on the NES. Yoshi's were not. So, uh...No SFF?

Still we ought to get a small idea of where Yoshi stands after facing Ocelot.

So then Mega Man would SFF such characters as Solid Snake and Ryu Hayabusa?

Er.

No. Solid Snake is known for his PS2 days, and I think Ryu is more known for XBox than NES to casual people.

And Link is more known for his N64 days. Hell you could argue his NES games are two of his least popular ones. (Not by sales at the time, but common opinion now).

eh, I voted for Ryu today thanks to his NES ninja gaiden titles. I'm probably not casual, though.

I think people will realize how accurate Snake's 2k4 unadjusted number is after Vivi has his way with him.

Oh, wait...Ryu Hayabusa. I thought he was talking about SF Ryu. Never mind ;)
---
www.SC2K5.com

Samus isn't getting anywhere near Sephiroth.

Samus is 42.36% on 2k3 Link, pretty close to Sephy's optimal number of 43.00% IMO.

But that probably wont happen. Any poll taker will tell you that. The larger the sample size is the less and less in the change per say 1000 votes becomes. Thats way a few thousand people can accurately represent an entire nation.

While I agree with what you're saying (it's true and all), I still refuse to believe GameFAQs accurately represented any of the three Mario/Crono matches.

I thought the idea of vote ceilings went out the window when CATS got more votes than all of his past performances combined against Ansem.

Beat me to it.
