I think the reason people wanted to believe Kerrigan could win was because they were afraid of Blizzard's history.

Dear god...if Kerrigan was at the VFL, then Vincent would project out at Mega Man's adjusted level...and if Tifa was any stronger, she'd be locked in a deathmatch with Crono. This is ridiculous.

I'll accept over-estimating Kerrigan right now...and I'm not opposed to having under-estimated Vincent, either, thought I still think he's just a lil' over Aeris.

I'd take Aeris over Vincent. It doesn't matter if it requires rSFF: I have a hard ime believing hard core FFVII fans would vote Vincent over Aeris.

I simply must say I'm completely out of ideas for a sig!

I still think Tifa/Vincent could be a toss-up. We'll have to wait and see what she does against Vyse. We should get a definite number out of her, at least.

Vincent is just a runaway freight train right here. Kerrigan is amounting to little more than road kill under his tracks.

I have a hard ime believing hard core FFVII fans would vote Vincent over Aeris.

Personally, I'd be shocked if they didn't. It's the hardcore fans that seem to love him most.

*Claims KG's Eclair & Millia Rage*

Sonic would be expected to get a little over 55% on Aeris now (remember he's stronger than when he faced her in 2003), for the record.

But I'd put that on his match with Cloud. I HIGHLY doubt that Sonic dropped in popularity for a year and then gained it back. I'd think that Aeris and Zero may be a little stronger than 2k3 shows (I maintain that Zero was probably SFF'd by Mega Man). It still doesn't affect the gap between Aeris and Sonic since they faced each other directly.

I'd argue that the hardcore FF7 fans are the ones who bother to get Vincent, myself, and probably try not to worry about Aeris any more than necessary due to the spoiler.

I do like Cloud more, seeing as how I like more than just about everyone else. But it'd be great to see Vincent do the complete unexpected. I mean, he isn't even in the running for a potential champion. It would be great to see him to do it.

I think the reason people wanted to believe Kerrigan could win was because they were afraid of Blizzard's history.

I agree, but that never made sense. I was a big Diablo supporter this Spring, but I never thought anything of Kerrigan. It boggled my mind how she could even be compared to Diablo.


The great thing about what Vincent is doing is that he's showing he's not like a Magus/Frog at all. He has no limitations due to people not knowing who he is, which bodes very well for him.

As for Aeris vs. Vincent, I'd go with Vincent. Remember that I've been saying for years that I just don't think female characters are as strong as males (all else, such as storyline importance, being equal). And Vincent is much more appealing than Aeris.

If Kerrigan = Duke Nukem and Vincent finishes with 75.8%, Vincent is .1% lower than Samus in the stats.

If Kerrigan = Diablo, Vincent is stronger than 2k3 Link.
