Forget kissing. I wanna see Yuna riding Rikku like a horse. :P

Switch them around, sure.

4th Place of the Fall 2005 10-Year Anniversary Contest
AmazingKirby | Posted 8/2/2006 11:24:34 PM | message detail
I don't know...I'm thinking the FF fanbase doesn't hate Rikku as much as Yuna. At least, what I've seen from the FFX boards, and other FF sites. There's also a lot more die-hard Rikku fans than Yuna ones.

And since everyone's throwing out old polls...

Rikku's not stronger than Yuna, which is the proof that Ganondorf got hit with *some* SFF against Samus. Thing is, I don't think it's enough.

Though on a side note, I don't trust Samus' adjusted numbers, either. I hardly think that people believe that Samus 2k5 is equal with Mario aside from SFF. If so, why is Samus/Crono being considered a good match for this year? If it is, then you've immediately got to give Crono a shot at Mario again. And I ain't doing that, not right now.

I don't know. Other than "It hasn't been done before" I don't see reason to call t a good match. That's Samus' match to lose, for sure, despite me wishing it were the opposite.

Wow, I never knew that FFX poll ever existed. I don't care how old it is, now I'm confused how people that knew of its existence ever justified Tidus > Auron.

"how people that knew of its existence ever justified Tidus > Auron."

Yoshi > all other Mario characters? Knuckles > all sonic characters? Those polls are the absolute nut-low when it comes to determining who is going to be the strongest from their game unless the lead wins it with ease (and even then they can't tell you by how much).

You guys do realize at best Auron is only a couple % ahead of Tidus in the stats, right? That means Tidus could easily upset him in a direct match. I think, realistically, out side of direct matchups Tidus = Auron and Rikku = Yuna.

There's a difference between the other older polls and that one -- Auron has over 40% of the vote there. That means he'd get at *least* that in a match against any given FFX character...making the probability of him getting that coveted 50% against every character *very* likely.

Easily Samus. Samus beat Sonic with 57%. While we can't extrapolate (LOL!) in 2005 due to Mario SFF, I'm guessing we all think she still beats Sonic without a struggle. Sonic went toe-to-toe with Mega Man in a classic match. Is Mega Man "more Nintendo" enough to get the rSFF needed to win? I don't think so.

Regardless what the x-stats say, Tidus has haters and Auron doesn't. I think that's going to make the non-FF fanboys swing towards Auron in the vote.

Lopen | Posted 8/2/2006 11:36:40 PM | message detail
I don't think the Ganondorf comparison is quite the same as Peach. No, I don't like Ganondorf, but I've seen infinitely many more (that is to say, any) Ganondorf fans than I've seen Peach fans. Ganondorf fans just like Link more... and I do think he does mooch more than most villains... but he has his fans, and he has his likable qualities.

I mean... when I say I'd take Zelda or Bowser to beat Ganondorf in a SFF situation, I'm only talking 55-45 at the most... not 70-30 or something ridiculous.

Adjusted Samus 2k5 is projected to get 53.5% on Mega Man 2k5. Samus 2k4 was projected to get 56% on Mario 2k4.

...you better believe I take MM in that matchup.

When Auron is already ahead of Tidus or at least even with him, an uber-badass appearance in KH2 can pretty much seal the match for him.

And all Tidus got out of KH was being a 12 year-old in the beginning area of the game. Woo.

Apparently YOU didn't join until after 2k4, either. At the time we had Magus > Sonic in the stats, and it was readily considered a reasonable upset pick in 2k4.

I actually didn't think they did a great job with Auron. He was sort of just there with a mysterious, unexplained past. Plus, being the side character in the level where most of the action takes place in the coliseum doesn't help, either. I'm sure it helped him out, but I wasn't floored by him.

Then you should go back and read some old stats topics. A numbre of people thought Magus was going to win that match, and very few thought it was impossible.

He was sort of just there with a mysterious, unexplained past.

Well, other than Final Fantasy X itself. It's obvious from the game itself that his past is at least something similar to what happened during the pilgrimage with Braska.

Plus, being the side character in the level where most of the action takes place in the coliseum doesn't help, either.

Actually, there is quite a bit of action in the Underworld in KHII. Honestly, I think the fact that he was a party member helps him more than anything. If he had just been a cameo, maybe he doesn't get much. But he could be in Sora's party, and he could do all of his Limit Breaks. That was pretty cool.

In 2k5 I would've considered that more interesting. Today? Auron.

And yeah, Auron seals the deal with KH2, where he gets a good long spotlight cast on him. Tidus' biggest role in KH2 was someone finally pronouncing his name correctly. ^_^
