And you were right the first time, when we same-time posted. Lloyd/Wesker was lower than Zero/Lloyd.

Actually, I was amending Mario/Ness being the lowest scoring bout of the second round. Lloyd/Wesker is the lowest thus far, and Lloyd/Zero is the worst totals we've seen this round.

Luigi broke 47%

*starts to dance*

17 have challenged Nintendo in the handheld market, 17 have failed. (see quote for list)

so has luigi closed the gap vote total wise?

Not really, but he's not letting Tifa get far too.
---

47% for Luigi, eh? Impressive. And he's still winning occasional updates, too.

Now the question is: Where is Luigi now? It's anybody's guess, but he certainly doesn't look as low as his 2003 value suggests (unless you think Tifa would have a hard time with Master Chief).

Squall Leonhart's Road to the Summer Contest 2005 Championship
Round 2: (2) Squall 53310 (53.80%), (6) Knuckles 45780 (46.20%)

I'd say that the vote margin is keeping pretty steady so far. Tifa is increasing the lead by very small (less than 50 votes) practically every update. Luigi is keeping her in range but has no chance of a comeback at this point.

Today's subliminal thought is:

well if anything hopes of tifa>sonic are quickly disapearing
---
Kilroy:There fate will be in each other's hands as they decide whether to share or to shaft

Sonic beat Aeris 53-47 two years ago, so he have some measurement on supporting FF7 characters in relation to Sonic. Granted it's two years old and a lot has changed, but Tifa simply isn't doing well enough on Luigi to place her substantially over Aeris 2K3 (which she would need).
---
Today's subliminal thought is:

Not really there's still the outside chance of her winning by 52%, but then again Sonic also has an outside chance to double her.
---
17 have challenged Nintendo in the handheld market, 17 have failed. (see quote for list)

Amazingly, Yoshi is the only Nintendo character in this contest that may get "blown out" in a non-SFF match.

Not really there's still the outside chance of her winning by 52%,

As much as I love the thought of Luigi giving Sonic all he can handle...I really, really doubt that.

but being blown out by megaman is something a lot of characters have to endure. like serious sam.
---
Kilroy:There fate will be in each other's hands as they decide whether to share or to shaft

Just like during my analysis that Tifa had an outside chance on tripling Luigi - Luigi winning by 55%.
---
17 have challenged Nintendo in the handheld market, 17 have failed. (see quote for list)

At this point, unless Bowser/Yoshi/Luigi are all the same strength and only SFF separates them (which there's a lot of counter evidence for) or TJF is very, very real, Sonic will beat Tifa easily.
---
Squall Leonhart's Road to the Summer Contest 2005 Championship
Round 2: (2) Squall 53310 (53.80%), (6) Knuckles 45780 (46.20%)

well, if Tifa = Aeris 2k3, then Luigi's at almost 31%, really close to Squall's 2k3 number. most impressive.

question: for people who think Mario/Shadow was a substitute for Mario/Sonic, what would Luigi/Sonic be like?

well tifa and aeris are a big mystery heh

Kilroy:There fate will be in each other's hands as they decide whether to share or to shaft

There's only one way for Luigi to win and sadly it won't happen. Hopefully he won't get raped during the night.
---
17 have challenged Nintendo in the handheld market, 17 have failed. (see quote for list)

I've thought about that before, actually. I think Luigi might do a bit better than expected. Being a Mario clone certainly didn't prevent Wario from getting slaughtered by Shadow though.

I can see it now.

Tifa: Luigi, me and you in my bed now!

Luigi: Sure *big smile*

*moans and groans*

Tifa: Give it to me harder!

*Cloud walks in*

Cloud: Tifa I've changed my mind I like you better than some dea... WTF!!!

Luigi: Oh Noes!

*runs to KOS-MOS' house*

Luigi: Hide me!

KOS-MOS: We'll hide in my room.

Having to listen to the haters doesn't help, either.

Kilroy:There fate will be in each other's hands as they decide whether to share or to shaft

Sadly I have to leave.

When I get back I expect Luigi to be around 48%-47.5% and the lead more or less being around the same.
---

who's hating? most people are chalking this up to Luigi increasing, not Tifa sucking.
---
http://picturesofwalls.com

Tifa's still sucking...teehee.

Go Luigi though. Now he's over 47%, which is awesome. Looks like Aeris might keep her reign as the 3rd strongest FF character.

And ouch, Sonic had less than 70% of the brackets. Not as embarrassing as Crono, but still pretty bad.

well the strong characters seem to get bad bracket support. now that doesn't make any sense. a casual bracket maker ought to have decent knowledge.

on my first ever contest (2k4) i got 177 by looking back at earlier polls

It'll get better once some upsets that favor both us happen.

Today's subliminal thought is:

2k4 was significantly easier, though. They are doing pretty bad tihs time around, but with due reason.

If Aeris was that strong,why she didn't even nominated here?

GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~

everyone keeps thinking she's a lock so no one bothers to nominate her i suppose
---
Kilroy:There fate will be in each other's hands as they decide whether to share or to shaft

If Aeris was that strong,why she didn't even nominated here?

Everyone has been asking that question for two years. So was pretty damn strong in 2K2 and 2K3, yet keeps missing the boat.
---
Today's subliminal thought is:

Mainly, she isn't popular enough where it counts the most, the nominators

She just doens't get the nominations. Zelda is also strong but she missed last year. Shadow is no fodder and he's nowhere to be seen. Tifa and Vincent are both looking ot be in the same neighborhood as Aeris (at least) and it took until this year for them to get in. Strength does not equate to nominations, clearly.

I nominated Aerith this year. I was rather surprised she didn't make the bracket, myself.

she probably got a good amount of nominations, but Ceej didn't want to put a fifth FF7 character in. that's a lot of characters from one game.
---
http://picturesofwalls.com

got it. the nomination process must have though aeris and aerith were two different character. mystery solved
---
Kilroy:There fate will be in each other's hands as they decide whether to share or to shaft

I don't know but for whatever reason she isn't getting nominated anymore I hope it stays that way

*spoilers for ff7*


I'll try to be vague in case somebody skipped my spoilers warning for some reason, but I'm playing through it for the first time right now (well beating the game for the first time rather, I played it before but didn't bother finishing disc 1), and can honestly say that I'm baffled why she's liked by so many people. Up until the spoiler she didn't show very much personality and seemed to serve as a plot device more then a party member. Her limit breaks were good though, I guess. I just got to the part where tifa and cloud join back up, and there are much, much better characters then her in the game that haven't so much as made it in. RedXiii and cid come to mind.


*end spoiler*

Please sign this petition for a history board:
http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=21995996

There's no support for her. She's been spoken of as a possibility for 2 years now and she only managed 8 board noms. It'd take some serious rallying to get her in.
---
No balls to be bustin', no fightin', no cussin'... just a love for a drug called contest statin'.

Well, Aeris has a better shot at a board rally than Peach, if you work off the noms this yaer and ignore the fact that there are a bunch of haters. She managed 19, better than Peach's 8.
---

and the jp ain't helping.
i bet if someone as popular as ulti made a topic rallying support for her she'd get in easily. i mean when tanner gets more nominations than you something is wrong

It wouldn't have been this first time.
---
No balls to be bustin', no fightin', no cussin'... just a love for a drug called contest statin'.

I made a promise to the jp that I'd rally support for her if he stopped talking about her until nomination time. what did he do? whine some more.

---
http://picturesofwalls.com

Well, for one there was a cap so Tanner made it over a lot of more deserving characters.

Second, everyone thought in 2k4 that she was a lock based on past performance. We gamed her rigth of the contest. There's no way in the world she got beat out by a scrub of those proportions this time and If not for 4 characters from the same game stealing her noms she'd be in.
---

ya sif say the three most popular users here ralied support for her would she get in?
---
Kilroy:There fate will be in each other's hands as they decide whether to share or to shaft

Ulti or HM or whoever else that's popular could rally the rally monkey and he'd get 100 nominations. Jay Solano needs help from them.

It'd help if there was nay rallying for her. The focus this year was obviously Tifa.
