I don't know about you guys, but I can't stand Aeris. She's a stupid whore and easily my least favourite character in that game.

Granted, Marle isn't much better, but she's blonde.

I HATE redheads.

I usually don't vote for FF7 characters and I prefer CT.

But I made an exception in this case. Voting for Marle? Not in a million years

Crono > Magus > Frog > Ayla > Marle > Robo > Lucca

I think Robo would be stronger than Ayla and Marle. Other than that it seems correct; Lucca is almost definitely last.

Every time the board vote goes against the majority, it's not always because of anti-votes.

Well I prefer Lucca over Marle in the sense that I at least didn't want to choke her.

That needs a fixing:

Crono > Magus > Frog > Marle > Lucca = Robo > Ayla

Ayla has almost ZERO plot relevance. She names Lavos. Woohoo.

I don't see any way in hell for Lucca to be stronger than Ayla.

Ayla is humorous, has a character design people like, and also importantly is good in combat.

This match means next to nothing for Aeris/Zelda, as we have no idea where Marle stands.

I suspected people would start questioning Aeris against Zelda if Marlve overperformed. But Marle will probably drop substantially during the day anyway. She's still not a lock to escape the tripling. Though I see Aeris finishing with maybe 73% or so.

Ayla would be stronger then Lucca. Although I like them both personally, the fight would boil down to just who was more useful in CT. And since Lucca sucked in combat, while Ayla didn't, Ayla would have a clear advantage.

I can't see Marle being tripled anymore...20 minutes in and Marle's continually increase her percentage. I wasn't expecting her to be anywhere -near- Frog...or, maybe I should I wasn't expecting the match to be SFF-less.
