Lloyd and Ocelot got 2 seeds. Leon Kennedy got a 5 seed. Kerrigan got a 4 seed. Tifa got a 3 seed. Those were the rally characters last year.

And yeah, the vote totals are insane. I wonder how many votes FF will get on its own by the end of the match.

The other rally winner was Leon, and he had a 4 seed.

That... was her final mission. And like a true soldier, she saw it through the end.

Hmm... thinking about it a bit more, I might take Vincent to beat Sonic or Snake if they met next contest. He does have DoC hitting the states in August, and although I think it flopped in Japan, you can never underestimate the power of FFVII.

What I've read about DoC isn't good, but I agree, it will effect a small boost. Post DoC and with a sprite round, I can see VV pulling it out against Snake, but not Sonic.

Note that I still think it would be an upset, but it's certainly feasible.

I'm confident enough that Snake will not have to worry about being beaten by a non-Noble Nine character this year. He is at least constant with the showing at E3.


As for Dirge of Cerberus, it wasn't too well received in Japan, but Square Enix is reworking the game to make it better for the American release. They're making many fixes that the Japanese reviewers had a problem with. I suppose we'll find out how much that helps pretty soon.

I'd laugh my ass off if Sonic ends up in Brawl. I know Nintendo stated that they'll only take "outside" characters who originated on Nintendo systems, but come on; this one is too huge. Work something out.

They didn't say originated, they said appeared on (which is why Sora is being considered. CoM, yo).

Definitely. Screw Simon "I can't jump worth a damn" Belmont. If a CV character makes it into Brawl, it has to be Alucard. He would fit well.

And even better... a Clock Tower level, complete with a few spinning gears. Hell yeah.

I like their chances. Zero might have to fight off Bass and Proto Man, though.

Slowflake | Posted 7/24/2006 11:55:06 AM | message detail
Since updates were compiled, probably.

However, Link/Cloud 2003 probably was faster, and maybe Mario/Crono from the same year too.

But as far as the current pace goes, it's headed for second place all-time. As has been said earlier, there's no way Link/Cloud's record will hold after this contest is over.

Mario's not fun btw and only sells on nostalgia. I mean, you're just walking from one side of a level to the other at a tenth of Sonic's speed... -vego

There are some updates from 2k2 and 2k3.
Link vs Cloud 2k3:
http://members.shaw.ca/teamrocketelite/LinkvsCloud.txt
Mario vs Crono 2k3:
http://solarshadow-stats.tripod.com/2003/pollupdates.html

This match will not break the record for fastest to 100k, but LoZ vs FF should.

This is even faster than Mario/Crono... should be expected, since polls seem to be much more frontloaded these days. Will it stay ahead, though?

I guess the only way the final is even close is if LoZ drains the pre-FF7 Nintendo support. Oh and also the newer stats topic really sucks.
---
Should I start running now?
Karma Hunter | Posted 7/24/2006 2:35:50 PM | message detail
I can't see LoZ draining the pre-FF7 support. FF6 got closer to LttP than OoT got to FF7. Maybe LoZ could SFF FF1, but I really doubt it (and I know at least one hardcore FF1 fan that will probably be voting FF over Zelda on that alone).

Mac Arrowny | Posted 7/24/2006 2:39:03 PM | message detail
One advantage I can see Zelda having is that the stronger a contest entity is, the harder it is to get stronger than that. So, the other FFs can't add as much to FFVII as they should be able to. Of course, that won't really help Zelda out, but it could make the final match a little closer than it would be otherwise.
