How can there be such a huge gap between Sonic characters?

According to this match, Sonic is predicted to get 84% on Amy, WITHOUT SFF. @_@

I'm still pissed that Knux and Tails didn't got in and instead we got Amy >_<

Oh and Smurf, I would be surprised if Amy got above 5% on Sonic.

__Smurf__ | Posted 9/22/2006 3:02:40 AM | message detail
Best they could expect aganist Sonic.

Shadow 44.52%
Knuckles 42.19%
Tails 30.25%
Eggman 21.82%
Amy 15.75%

BIG range going on there. >_<

That's it, we need to see Amy make a return next year in a match against Sonic. Watching her get destroyed like the proof that old sonic > new sonic that she is would be awesome in many ways.

Can't we leave that part to Shadow? Amy was in a few old-school Sonic games.

That would make sense since I haven't played those ones. At the same time, I can't help but think of the existence of random half baked characters like her to be why sonic games aren't nearly as good as they used to be. At least the half-assedly thought out knuckles and shadow are cool in their own way.

From everything I've read, looks like Smurf is going to go to...extreme measures again on another unwinnable match. Give it up, man.

Amy should have been up against Rikku, just to keep the FFX vs Sonic tradition alive.

And then Rikku needs to face Ganondorf next year too... >_>

Heh, I don't know why people were giving Amy any sort of credit of doing well and possibly breaking 40% here. I'm a big Amy fan (one of the few), and I was shocked she made it in at all, especially with a 6.

Currently, Amy is worth 13.60% on BL, though it'll likely go up by the end of the match. She'll probably not be worth more than 14% when it's all said and done.

If Peach could get in, it's a given that Amy would be here.

Only thing I'm suprised at , is that Amy is more popular than Rogue in the Sonic universe.

Not really, mario characters have done better for themselves then sonic characters in these contests. I mean sure, sonic characters have had their successes, but knux is the only other character that comes to mind who's consistently been strong enough to be worthy of making a return.

Shadow nearly beat freakin Mario! And Tails, has always been above average.

Shadow > Bowser
Knuckles > Yoshi.
Tails > Donkey Kong

It doesn't take a genius to realize something weird went on in that match.

And Tails, has always been above average.

...He's barely above the fodder line.

Shadow > Bowser

Only if you take his 2k3 value seriously and think it would would apply to more recent contests.

Knuckles > Yoshi.

Maybe; that would be a close match.

Tails > Donkey Kong

Err.... I don't see where you got that from.

Indeed! Until I saw that Roll would be one of the #8 seeds, I didn't think Sonic fans would even bother nominating Amy, not even to finish off their list.

Maybe they figured Terra was weak as hell, and Kerrigan getting 20% on Vincent made her stronger than Terra.

Don't overestimate casual bracketmakers...

Dragoon, Tails is predicted to double the fodder line (Vyse). ~_~

No, could happen but Knux value last year just seems odd to me and no.

He rose roughly the same level as Sonic, so it's consistent.

But surely they'd see "20% on a Final Fantasy character? Terra is going to own Kerrigan". ¬_¬

Meh. I can't complain, I'm two points down, stupid Kairi and The Boss. ¬__________¬

I think you're overestimating the casual bracketmakers here... I would imagine a good chunk of them have no idea how Terra and Kerrigan did last year.

Tails is only predicted about 59% on Vyse.

Well, the Vyse that was considered to be the fodderline.

I nominated her!

Also, I find it sad that Zelda got more votes on her own than Terra/Kerrigan did overall. That's a sign that next round will be ugly for Terra.

How much better/worse does Zelda do compared to Dante?

Haste_2 | Posted 9/22/2006 8:15:55 AM | message detail
Zelda'll probably just about triple Terra...hopefully when that happens Dante will be exposed in Round 1 so that Aeris will still have a shot against Zelda. >.>

Unless it's a sprite round Zelda will do better.

Also the vote totals don't seem to be that high so far. As of now we are looking to finish with just over 102k votes.

At the 11:55 mark, this match has 48078 votes. To compare with other matches at the same time:

Samus/Nidoran F - 51982
Kairi/Claire - 49751
Peach/Daisy - 49876
Terra/Kerrigan - 46235

Looks like we'll break 100,000 here, but it won't be by a lot.

Marle is the least liked party-member in CT except for maybe Lucca...I don't think Aeris could manage much more than 80%, though.

I don't think Aeris/Marle is going to top Zelda/Carmen in terms of % for Aeris, that would be pretty crazy. It could top Peach/Daisy, which I had thought it would from the beginning, but I'm beginning to doubt it more and more. Probably not too far under Samus/Nidoran F, though, and definitely above Tifa/Ivy.
