Before the match started I thought it might, but now I doubt it. Ada/Jade was barely below 100k, and Peach/Daisy is currently 1200 or 10% ahead.

To make things more interesting, if the same gap between Link and Zelda applies to Mario and Peach, Peach lands at 22.35% on BL.

Character Battle V Score - 7/7 points
Current Prediction - Princess Peach vs. Princess Daisy

I'm actually a bit surprised that over 15% of people prefer a crappy peach clone over peach... That's like preferring waliugi over luigi. >_>

Not that it matters, I was just expecting slightly worse SFF.

nah, you can't do that.. I mean, do that with Ganon and Bowser and see what the results are like.

The gap between Link and Ganon so did not carry over to Samus and Ridley. >>

Sooooo... quickly without thinking, who would win in a match: Daisy, or Carmen Sandiego?

Daisy. When up against total fodder, she'll get enough Peach proxy votes to win, but it won't be pretty.

People really think Daisy would win? I mean, everyone knows Carmen Sandiego...I can't see Daisy walk away from that one. Just the fact that they know about Carmen would be enough to trump Daisy in most instances.

I mean, I wouldn't take Waluigi or Toadette over Carmen...she actually shouldn't be *that* bad when all is said and done.

I'd take Carmen Sandiego for sure. Daisy seems like a character you'd only know if you followed every move Nintendo made. Of the newer games she's only in games such as Mario Tennis and other sports titles correct?

Peach proxy?

Peach doesn't have a damn fanbase to proxy votes form. o_o

She's fodder, got it? F O D D E R.
She's leeching off the 6 or 7 other Mario characters ahead of her.

Wow, what a horrible SFF match. This match has been stuck in the 83% range the ENTIRE match. Bleh.

...And I don't like how people in the last topic were taking Tifa/Peach for granted. Jill's still gonna win, folks!

This is really the most pointless match of the contest. Two character nobody cares about, SFF. And we learn nothing about Peach's strength (or lack of).

I'm expecting Jill to beat Peach, but after having a closed account because of Jill and a usermape axe because of Claire. I've learned not to rely on Resi characters in close games. >_<

THEJackSparrow | Posted 9/19/2006 5:17:49 AM | message detail
Let's see...Based on Jill 2004, Sheena falls at 16.81% on BL, a small bit below Lloyd. Based on Hayabusa 2005 (tentative ground, I know), Sheena falls at 18.04% on BL, between Geno and Jin Kazama.

Either way, not much range, and I'd say either makes sense. Jill should be around her 2004 area, I'd guess. Just depends on what Peach has, I guess.

Gun to my head, I'd say that Peach is close to Wario. Which put Jill at about 54% on her.

Factor in the DS boost from last year and Jill and Peach are probably dead even.

MY PREDICTIONS ARE OBVIOUSLY SUPERIOR DUE TO A PERFECT ORACLE

NOW, LISTEN TO MY AWESOME

Vincent will beat Ganon.
Vincent stands almost no chance against Sonic, and Sonic should ALMOST equal Crono's performance on him last year.
Sonic > Crono
Sonic > Megaman
Samus > Sonic
Link > Cloud > Sephiroth > Mario > Sonic > Samus
Gordon > Phoenix
Megaman/Snake will be very, very close. MM will still take it.

Anybody think Zelda might SFF Carmen Sandiego? Carmen's kinda like Pac-Man, maybe, and you know how Pac-Man is with Nintendo characters...plus, they're both characters you might say would rely on name recognition, destroying Carmen.

Certainly no worse than what Pac-Man might suffer, and I think it would be very little myself. She seems to have more appeal than Pac-Man though certainly less iconic status, which is what Pac-Man relies on. I would think Carmen could hold her own somewhat decently, actually.

I don't think we would be able to tell SFF in this match. That being said, I don't think SFF would occur. I'm voting for Carmen myself.

I think the idea is that Mario and link will steal Samus' votes in the battle royale since there will be a split in the nintendo fanbase vote, causing her to finish last.

Wow, what a horrible SFF match. This match has been stuck in the 83% range the ENTIRE match. Bleh.

ten hours later and the match has STILL been stuck in the 83% range all day. i thought that the afterschool vote might swing the match even more in Peach's favor, but no dice. now THAT'S boring......

I'd take Carmen over half of the female bracket. Really, who was growing up in the 90's that DOESN'T know who she is?


now, there's you're problem, Turtle. most of this site is either in the middle of growing up right now, or just began growing up. not many people here grew up in the 90's. however, i do remember watching the game show on PBS all the time:

Speaking of which, Ceej needs to put that match picture up so we can have something to talk about. This has got to be one of the most boring matches in contest history: A match between two characters we've never seen before (the latter of which will probably never be seen again) loaded with SFF that's supposed to lead into a big match. As it is, we can draw no conclusions about it at all, and the percentage has stayed within the same range the entire time.

Basically, this match was a waste of time, and could have been used to set up more interesting SFF-type matches, like Tifa/Aeris.
