How in the world is Ryu not destroying this match? I have Bowser beating him and all, but from a favorites perspective, Rikku just stinks. I can't stand her character in either FFX game, while Ryu is the prototypical noble fighter.

People still love Rikku, regardless of whether or not you hate her. Plus, she has fanservice on her side.

She's ****ing hot. I love Ryu and haven't even played FFX longer than an hour or so, and I almost voted for Rikku because I CAN FEEL THE HEAT.

Remember that Chun-Li didn't start taking off chunks of percentage until about 30-45 minutes into the match.

Hooray for Rikku! The day vote should help her, too. She's got no where to go but up. Looks like everyone who said Yuna > Rikku can be wrong now. ^_^

Mortal Kombat was in arcades in October of '92. Wasn't the second Samurai Shodown not until '94, same as Super Street Fighter II: Turbo?

Looks like I was right. Check the release date.

Rikku's the best PC in FFX, of course she's going to get votes. Ryu, however, is from Street Fighter, and the only thing worse than SF2's gameplay is its cast.

Rikku is not hot at all. The only gaming females I find attractive are Sheena and Nova. And Nova is modeled off of a real person.

One quick question.

If Ryu manages the same percentage Ganondorf did against Yuna to Rikku what would that mean for the Ryu/Bowser match?

Assuming Rikku > Yuna

Sheena is attractive. Im not a Japan-phile, but the Japanese women always have the best face structure. Add some B00bs and a nice body to that and you cant go wrong with that.

It reads August 11, 1993.

... I don't see how this makes your point. I'm not even an MK junkie, but something released in October the previous year still trumps that easily.

Eh, plenty of gaming females look cute, but few of them have a personality that backs it up. A personality that I like, anyway. Sheena is my kind of girl *shrug*

And I forgot about Tifa. I still find her attractive, but it's more that she has a good character to back up her looks. Seriously, most gaming females are portrayed as weak, ditzy, stupid, and so on. Most of the strong girls are ugly (see: Vaida from FE7).

Once again, this is the first 15 minutes. Chun-Li was getting 30% of the vote against Bowser until half an hour into it. Ryu will increase once the board vote settles down.

Good point there, Ulti... A lot of video game girls are really hot, but annoying... and yet the strong ones are ugly, as you said.

Rikku is supposedly getting board vote influence? More so than Ryu? I definitely didn't think that was the case, and thought Rikku would go up (though not by too much) as the hours go on.

Rikku? Getting the board vote? I don't see how Rikku would fail to improve as the day goes on, in all honesty. Ryu is dissapointing quite a bit here.

wow, holy crap. Rikku's doing pretty good here. maybe all the Chun Li > Rikku talk was wrong after all. if not, Ryu's in serious trouble against Bowser.

as for the earlier conversation, wouldn't the first hidden fighting game character be Reptile from MK1?

HELL yeah... I was just about to post that right now. ESP man...

*mild ToS spoilers*

I practically cheered today when I finally got Sheena to be Lloyd's soulmate. A game where your character can actually GET the chick that you want him to. And he didn't back away from her either (a la Cloud). He actually said he wanted her too... Classic.

Sheena >> Leonhart
