Meh, I don't think Daisy gets it unless Peach destroys her and Peach ends up being horribly weak. I have a feeling people will still vote for Daisy for whatever odd reason. Just to be defiant or make a joke out of it. Even if I think Peach will have decent strength, I can't see her SFFing Daisy to make her look that pathetic. I mean, Nidoran F should be a little bit of inspiration for Nintendo fodder!

Big Bob | Posted 9/12/2006 9:22:12 PM | message detail
Alright, please let me explain the difference between me and the whiners.

I loved BGaE. I love Jade's character. However, that doesn't stop me from calling RE4 overrated (I actually like it better), or saying that Ada is a lame character (which I think she isn't). I like Jade more than Ada, and due to Jade's obscurity, I prefer to be vocal about my appreciation for her. It doesn't make me dislike RE or Ada any less.

However, it does feel odd to be on the losing side for once.

Er... Leon and Ada were both HUGE in RE2 though.

Leon's just the character you use after Claire. Claire, like Jill, is vastly preferred to her male counterpart for being able to blow through her game more efficiently and being the Master of Unlocking. As for Ada...she's the side character in Leon's story. Which is worse.

Claire is hands down the most popular character from RE2. This isn't even a debate.

Not related, but one thing I'll never get is this 'winning the day vote' stuff. getting your ass whipped less during the day than you did at night doesn't mean you've won anything. It means there was a point in the match when you got your ass whipped less. "Winning" a demographic means that you're getting more than 50% of the vote during such.

Yeah, I remember I did go straight for Disc 2 when I got my hands on Resident Evil 2. At least Leon doesn't have the Chris syndrome that bad. I seriously forget that Chris is even in the first Resident Evil. Hell, I have to think about whether or not he was included in the REmake!

Leon's stronger NOW, of course... -_- Being the sole main character of the most popular RE game tends to do that.

Not related, but one thing I'll never get is this 'winning the day vote' stuff. getting your ass whipped less during the day than you did at night doesn't mean you've won anything. It means there was a point in the match when you got your ass whipped less. "Winning" a demographic means that you're getting more than 50% of the vote during such.

To completely ignore the argument, it's because it's easier. It's the same thing as saying rSFF -- it's still Same Fanbase Factor, but the 'r' makes it easier to understand the weaker character is getting the good end of it. Likewise, 'winning' the day vote is the easier thing to say rather than having to explain shifts in demographics about getting more or less beaten with Master Chief every time he's in a match...

Except Master Chief actually WINS day votes. Street Fighter won the evening vote against RE last year.

Kingdom Hearts shaving off some percents from Metal Gear Solid doesn't mean it won anything.

MC wins day votes, but he doesn't win them all. Two of his last three losses he got his ass kicked with the day vote if you're measuring solely by votes.

Kingdom Hearts didn't "win" the day vote by your terminology in MG/KH, but it sure as hell did against Castlevania and Harvest Moon. It's just easier to put it that way, and it's not like it really confuses anyone.

It means there was a point in the match when you got your ass whipped less. "Winning" a demographic means that you're getting more than 50% of the vote during such.

It's because only using it when a character gets over 50% is a pretty useless defintion and any situation it is useful in is covered by the other defintion. Also while the character may not be winning the match it can still count as winning a moral victory since the character is doing better then it was during the other time.

Wow, Ada's doing quite a bit better than I expected, especially after seeing Wesker perform so miserably last year. It's reassuring to see, considering how far I have Jill and Claire advancing, even if it might not mean much.

More wild female results, in terms of percentages a ways off from the norm predictions.

Or maybe years of guilt have overwhelmed him and he's decided to back Crono now.

Wesker may be the most badass and important character in all of RE, but as far as what matters in contest strength...he's a nobody. He's the villain of RE1 (where he's not even seen that much). After that, he's merely referenced until when he becomes a sorta-villain in RE: CV. And he has a bit of screentime in RE0.

As for playable roles, he has RE: CVX's bonus stage (where he only has the knife until the very end), and RE4 Mercenaries, where he's the last person to be unlocked. He's badass there, but the amount of people that know it to begin with is...

You never fight him in a boss battle, never get a satisfying confrontation, and he's easily forgettable. Sure, he's behind everything, but if you know that much about him you weren't going to vote against him in the first place.

No Sonic picks, and only two Mega Man for champions. Crono, Snake, and Samus seem more or less even, but I'm too lazy to count. Bonus points to ExTha for Phoenix and that one guy who picked Luigi.

This is probably a weird question, but in response to Karma Hunter's comments on Wesker:

*Possible Spoilers*

Was Wesker the only entrant in the villain contest who you never fight as part of the main game? Tenpenny and CATS are the only other ones who I think might fit in that category, but I've never played their games.
