I don't know just how much more popular he'd be. The "the fact that
he's optional doesn't matter too much" side was pretty much proven
correct. I think he'd definitely be significantly more popular, but
just how much more popular could he be? Anyway, what exactly are you getting at: That Sephiroth is a good pick for winning next year? Because I really can't see that happening. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

A worst case scenario preliminary stats for this division: Super Mario Brothers – 50.00% Super Smash Brothers – 35.00% Sonic the Hedgehog – 29.64% Warcraft – 18.87% Grand Theft Auto – 18.70% Devil May Cry – 17.27% Dragon Quest – 16.54% Madden NFL – 7.79% Dragon Quest beats Madden with 76.45%! Either way, it's looking like Sonic gets 30% on Super Mario Brothers before any sort of...SFF, I guess. Based on Super Smash Brothers's current percentage: Super Mario Brothers - 50.00% Super Smash Brothers - 36.57% Sonic the Hedgehog - 30.97% Warcraft - 18.87% Grand Theft Auto - 18.70% Devil May Cry - 18.04% Dragon Quest - 17.28% Madden NFL - 7.79% So...Dragon Quest is potentially worth 46.20% on Grand Theft Auto? Never would've guessed that in my wildest dreams. --- Squall, Tidus, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden Presea, Chun-Li, Tifa, Celes, Quistis, Amy Rose, Mei Ling |

And note that this doesn't take into account ANY SFF Super Smash
Brothers may be experiencing right now. So we might have been seeing
Dragon Quest > Grand Theft Auto. Which brings up the question...Did SMB overperform on Warcraft? --- Squall, Tidus, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden Presea, Chun-Li, Tifa, Celes, Quistis, Amy Rose, Mei Ling |

I don't think so... I have a feeling that DQ is more powerful than what we think it is. --- Warden: Talk! What is SeeD all about!? Squall: ...Flower. |

Well, if you believe in the contest laws: GFNW Metroid gets SFF'd worse than expected Halo and GTA always disappoint Maybe DQ actually beats GTA ;) (of course I'm kidding) --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

And looking at these preliminary numbers, Sonic would have to beat Mega
Man with 58.33% for SMB and FF to be on equal ground, if I did my math
correctly. Super Smash Brothers would have to get 64.71% on Mega Man,
and it'd get around 70% on Mario Kart. --- Squall, Tidus, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden Presea, Chun-Li, Tifa, Celes, Quistis, Amy Rose, Mei Ling |

I don't think that the 'being optional doesn't matter' side was
completely right. Certainly, being optional does not stop a character
from being legitimately strong. But we have no idea how strong Vincent
would be in the first place if he had been in say, Barret's position
(though with the same personality, because people like that). But that's the whole thing -- I don't think Sephiroth is going to win the contest, which is why I don't think that the role within the game itself has any significance. I think it got people who were pre-existing fans to come here in the first place. The exposure itself, to me, is really very little. But if Sephiroth messes around and ends up winning, err...you heard it here first. <_< --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace.

Yes Mario overperformed on Warcraft. Yes Sonic overperformed on Devil May Cry, while we're at it! >_> Eh, what does it matter? The stats in this contest are all but worthless... and no, I don't mean because we won't ever see another. --- Raiden is still [!!] nominations short! http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=27664244 |

I just thought of something. Cloud and Sephiroth had cameos in Kingdom
Hearts, which, being EXTREMELY generous, is *maybe* the sixth strongest
series on GameFAQs. It's probably working hard just to make Top Ten. Meanwhile, SSB is pretty much screaming, "HAY GUYZ I'M NUMBER FOUR", even in the face of potential SFF. Solid Snake is going to be in one of the most hyped game yet in the series, in which he is certainly the most talked about and anticipated character, in a fanbase that is much further away from his Metal Gear than KH's fanbase is from FFVII's.

Based on this performance here, Solid Snake is going to be a threat to be feared to the Noble Nine outside of Clinkeroth. --- Squall, Tidus, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden Presea, Chun-Li, Tifa, Celes, Quistis, Amy Rose, Mei Ling |

I'm not saying the percentage won't fluctuate, but we're talking about
a perennial day vote king against the monster of day vote flops with
MG/KH. There's no way it comes close to matching that shift (it went
from what, 63% to 58% in MG/KH?). --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

Its sad that SSB is behind SSF, because I believe if it wasnt it would be the #4 game in the stats. You cant convince me KH gives Sonic a run for its money. --- --NL-- Where am I? |

Um...are you even paying attention, NL? Based on its percentage right now, it'll probably get #4 in the stats. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

Yeah Im paying attention but I think Metal Gear could break this on Mario. --- --NL-- Where am I? |

It's possible. Depends on how far below Zelda and FF that Mario actually is. --- Some stories can't be told by words. Some legends are meant to die. Knowing your enemy is the quickest path to victory. |

I felt bold in saying it could likely escape the doubling. Unless you
think Mario is going to falter greatly against FF or MG is going to do
*really* well on Zelda (followed by Zelda giving FF a great run or
winning outright), SSB has this thing well in hand. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

And this is probably SFF (I see little reason for it not
to be), but it's hard to tell. The votals are a little low, but
Zelda/Metroid -- a match with perhaps the most obvious SFF in this
contest -- had insanely high total votes. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

Well, the odd thing is that Mario hasn't been drawing in the votes the way Final Fantasy and Zelda have. And yet Metal Gear/Kingdom Hearts outdid them both. --- Some stories can't be told by words. Some legends are meant to die. Knowing your enemy is the quickest path to victory. |

I like to think its SFF, because of where it puts Sonic more than
anything. I can see Sonic doing maybe 2-3% worse than this on Mario. --- --NL-- Where am I? |

Well, outside of maybe Final Fantasy/Mega Man, the two haven't really
run into any formidable opposition -- Zelda especially, looking at how
it has had Civ and two SFF matches. I'd imagine two upper mid-tier series going at it are a bigger draw than an elite/fodder match. Not to mention that the votes are just getting higher and higher as we go on. Zelda/Civ draws a helluva lot more votes if you hold it tomorrow than it did before. --- Do not kill. Do not rape.

I can see Sonic doing *very* badly on Mario after looking at SMW/Sonic
2. And like I keep saying, I'm not convinced SSB didn't overperform a
tad in the first place. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

And that's after any potential SFF. Theoretically, if Mario's getting a
lot of SFF here and SSB 64 doesn't add *that* much to the series, you
can make a case for FFVII > SMB. --- Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are codes of behavior. |

I think I'm more surprised because this is the first time one of the
big three has shown any signs of weakness. so far it's been nothing but
dominance. the closest we've seen to a good match is freaking Mega Man
/ Final Fantasy. --- xyzzy I lost a sig bet to War13104. Yes, the same guy who had Kefka over Crono. FOR THE HORDE! |

The fact that Final Fantasy nearly tripled what will undoubtedly be one of the strongest series in this contest is still scary. That beast has strength that nothing will ever be able to compare to. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

Yeah. I remember Leonhart telling me that Final Fantasy was on pace for
100,000 that day even with that percentage and I was rather speechless. There is something about Final Fantasy dominating its opponents by so much that is entertaining though. I love it. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

SSB is amazing me right now. I'll wait until the day-vote, but right
now SSB is making it look like SSBM > SMB3 is a viable upset

"Did SMB overperform on Warcraft?" GTA and DMC being really close seems right to me. I do, however, fear that this is SMB over performing on SSB. If thats the case, damn is SSB strong.

"but right now SSB is making it look like SSBM > SMB3 is a viable upset again...depending on your perspective." Why? It's the original that is making up the difference.

You are an idiot if you think SSBM is a better game than SMB3... in the end the better game/character always wins. SMB3 is the worst main-series Mario game, IMO. I could never really enjoy it all that much; it failed the test of time the moment SMW came out. It's odd to think about how few main-series Mario games there are. There's the four on the NES, two on the GB, two on the SNES, and one on each of the N64, GCN, and DS. That's eleven total, and only three in the last decade. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |
