How do you guys think a Zelda/Aeris match would turn out?

From: HaRRicH | Posted: 7/27/2005 10:30:44 PM | Message Detail
I'd give it to Aeris without much thought, though the match would be 52-48 or closer.

I remember Aeris/Zelda was one of the biggest wanted matches for SC2K4.

Then the bracket was revealed. And neither of them were there. Kinda funny, really.

I'd take Aeris, personally, around 52-48.

Aeris wins right now. If Zelda's really involved in TP and Aeris isn't in AC much, maybe that will change.

I still think I got the best bet when Captain Flufflez and I had a sig bet about whether or not Wesker would break 43% on Kefka or not. Either me or smitelf when Master Mage said Ryu would beat Sonic...heh, both were nice though.

Vivi's voting patterns: a look at Vivi/Donkey Kong.
Note: I'm not bothering with Sephiroth/Vivi, what with the SFF. Someone else can.

From 0:00 to 0:20, Vivi increased from 53% to 56%.
From 0:20 to 4:45, Vivi hovered between 56-57%.
From 4:45 to 11:30, Vivi decreased to between 55-56%.
From 11:30 to 24:00, Vivi increased from 55% to 56.50%.

So, Vivi was weak with the very early morning vote, but strong throughout the day. As for DK, he held Tommy Vercetti during the day vote, so he's no slouch with it.

Unfortunately, I can't find anything for Zelda/Croft or Mega Man/Zelda besides this, from Ngamer's site:

Lara Croft 30.48% 153
Zelda 69.52% 349
TOTAL VOTES 502

"Interesting... I went with Zelda at 60%, but who knows after seeing this good start... Almost
every character who gets off to a solid start loses percent throughout the day, but I'm not
sure if that'll be the case today. Even with the movie and such, is Lara really more
main-stream than Zelda? In actual character, maybe, but certainly not in name recognition.
Yeah, I think I went too low on Zelda here... phooey."


Lara ended with 37.17%, so Zelda lost a significant portion, but with only 500 votes cast when that was taken, it's hard to conclude anything.

Zelda 34.64% 257
Mega Man 65.36% 485
TOTAL VOTES 742

"What a beauty start! I predicted Mega with... get this... 65.11%! However, I get the feeling
he's going to take this win up by a few notches as the day wears on."


Zelda increased 5% from there, to 39.24%, but I don't know when she did it, and that's less than 1000 votes into a 108k match.

So, yeah, I don't know what to make of Zelda, but Vivi was pretty strong throughout the day.

"hehehe... CATS has set Cloud up the bomb! Too bad he was getting killed after a quick
refresh... but it was fun while it lasted."

"Hm... maybe I didn't overestimate Alucard after all, with my high 69% prediction. Still,
we'll see what the day vote has in store for him."Gordon

55% for Zelda is really enough for me; I think Snake has dropped and I don't care about MGS 3.

I'd go as high as 60%. Zelda's gotta really impress me for me to think she's the favourite.

if she breaks 55, I'll say she's got a good chance, but for me to call Snake the underdog you've gotta blow Vivi out of the water.

Mario 58.16% 24874
Shadow the Hedgehog 41.84% 17893
TOTAL VOTES 42767

"Out last night, so slow vote. But anyways... this contest is officially gay in the extreme.
Ok, so..... Let me see here. Sonic HIMSELF came within a hair of being beaten yesterday. By a
2nd rate character from another series, who doesn't have great name recognition, and didn't
look cool in his picture. WTH? This officially makes Sonic the weakest of the #2s in the whole
contest, who may not even make it to Cloud. Which means, the Sonic series is DEAD. D-E-A-D. No
one respects it anymore, it's been way too long since it's put out a good game, Sega is over.
RIGHT?

So then we take a glance at today's matchup. Let's see here... oh, it's FREAKING Mario. You
know, the #2 character last year, the legend, the man who represents all things Nintendo, the
most famous icon in gaming history. Playing who? SHADOW, a
completely second rate character from the Sonic series (which was flat out EMBARRASSED
last night, if you recall one paragraph ago), of which he has only appeared in a single game.
Yeah, he has no name recognition, no character development, and he looks like crap in his
picture. Blowout city!

WRONG

Holding the biggest gaming icon of our generation to below 60% is nothing less than a crime
against humanity. No to mention my predictions. That's it, I need to go lie down."

I'll be VERY confident if she hits my Oracle prediction of 57.65, which surprisingly wasn't the highest there. DNEA went with Zelda with 59.00.
