This happens every year... Vincent performs well for one match and everyone jumps on his bandwagon. Until he faces Dante nothing is proven simple as that. Remember last year how we all thought megaman had a shot after he blew tidus away? We all know how that turned out....

Exactly. I cannot wait for the Vincent bandwagon to come to a screeching halt courtesy of Mr. Zeal. Hell, Dante might actually beat him. DMC3 might have done more than we think.

Vincent has ALWAYS been the third most popular character from FFVII.

For people who allegedly know so much about this site's tastes, or the FFVII fanbase in general, the excuses you're pulling out of your ass to underestimate Vincent are becoming ridiculous.

"He's an optional character!"

You have to be ****ing kidding me. People came to GameFAQs initially FOR FFVII walkthroughs. The majority of them came simply to figure out how to get Vincent! I'd go so far as to say this site was BUILT on the back of morons such as myself that had no clue as to how you'd get Mr. Valentine.


Not everyone knows how to get him and not everyone on GameFAQs owns FFVII. With that reason alone will put him below Tifa and Aeris.

At 9:15, this match has 39994 votes

Dante/Terra - 38134
Vivi/Zelda - 40373
Ness/CJ - 38306
Tidus/King - 39294

Looks like this match is on pace to barely break 100K.

Are you joking?

Fact: FFVII is the most popular game on this website. No question.

Fact: This is a FAQ website. People came here BECAUSE they don't know how to get him.

Soon to be proven fact: Cloud>Sephiroth>Vincent>Tifa=Aeris

I'm tempted to say that after Advent Children, and if Dirge of Cerebrus is well recieved, that Vincent>Sephiroth.

Even if it is the most popular game people still haven't played it, but have heard of Cloud, Sephiroth, Aeris and Tifa (I know I have).

Yes the only reason people look at the FAQs is how to find Vincent.

I'll let you know what I think of it after Tifa has had her first match, but right now it's
Cloud> Sephiroth>Aeris>=Tifa>Vincent

It's a movie and we all know that movies won't help you, but DoC will. Only then will I agree that Vincent will be stronger then Aeris/Tifa

Considering we know what to expect from that match, there's no chance of that unless Magus pushes a doubling.

But when Knux breaks 40% tomorrow, the Magus bandwagon will break down.

If Vincent = Magus, Kerrigan is put in the vicinity of Laharl and Gordon Freeman. It's more believable than well below JC Denton... and since everything above Magus is elite, if Kerrigan > Gordon, we got ourselves a replacement Noble Niner.

Time for Magus/Knuckles Stats:

2004 Magus SFF Adjusted - 2004 Knuckles 20XX Factor: 62-38
2004 Magus SFF Adjusted - 2004 Knuckles: 65.5 - 34.5
Magus based on 2004 Tidus 20XX Factor - 2004 Knuckles 20XX Factor: 52.5 - 47.5.
Magus based on 2004 Tidus - 2004 Knuckles: Same as above
Magus based on Gannondorf increasing the same as Link from 2003 to 2004 - 2004 Knuckles 20XX Factor: 57.5-42.5
Magus based on 'Dorf yadda yadda - 2004 Knuckles: 62-38
Magus based on Dorf Sp2k5 - 2004 Knuckles 20XX Factor: 63-37
Magus based on Dorf Sp2k5 - 2004 Knuckles: 67-33

So here is the deal. Everything is pretty spread out EXCEPT for 2004 Magus vs 2004 20XX Knuckles and Magus based on an 'Dorf increase between 2003 and 2004 vs 2004 No 20XX Knuckles.

Okay, I'm not good with the stats, so...how much would Terra have to beat Kerrigan by for Dante to beat Vincent? I'm still holding out hope that Dante can win and salvage my bracket (my bracket is very cookie-cutter otherwise; I've got Dante losing to Magus, and I need every point I can get), but it's looking unrealistic at this point.
