Not suprised that Marle's breaking 30% here. Coming from someone who's
never played CT, one thing I've noticed about the game is that it has
it's own separate fanbase. The fact that held a lead over FF7 during
the first hour of it's match told me the SFF would be nowhere near as
sereve as Daisy or Nidoran F. --- Chun-Li's Road to the Female Final Four: vs Kasumi (Septemeber 26th) *Just 17 days until Tales of the Abyss* |

Well, I'm convinced that Marle is evading SFF...not that it speaks volumes for Aeris' strength regardless. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

and for the record, i agree that we have no idea exactly where Marle or
Carmen Sandiego stand, so it is kinda pointless to speculate who will
win between Aeris and Zelda at this point. not that pointing that out
will stop anyone, but i still felt the need to say that anyways. --- i have officially been Z1mZum'D in the guru contest. Vincent Valentine to win the Blast Division!! |

Vincent/Crono. But there's no way that Marle gets any kind of rSFF, I
have a hard time seeing her SFF anyone from her own series. Erm...that would mean Crono OVERperformed against Vincent, not underperformed. :p Not that I believe that for a second. And, I really do think this is Marle's legit strength rather than rSFF...close to the fodder line and aways below Frog sounds right. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun!

Meh, I never bought Cloud/Sephy SFFing Crono significantly (after all,
they get their strength from the PS1/PS2 while Crono gets his from the
SNES/PC), but that doesn't mean Crono is going to outlast Mario...Mario
is a good deal stronger now, and I think that we're past the era of 2k2
he'll hold up surprisingly well in the Royale. If I had any faith in
Cloud SFFing Sephy I'd have taken him to get third. --- Commit it to memory. |

Going by the 2k3 stats, and assuming Aeris brings this back to 71% (at
least, I expect more, it's a CT character afterall), that puts Marle
equal to Vyse-2k3 which seems perfectly reasonable. Aeris/Zelda is
still a toss-up, and I expect it to stay that way with Twilight
Princess coming out after their match. This result is only surprising if you were expecting a large amount of SFF. |

as I said earlier, Marle beats Kairi. this isn't SFF to me, this is natural strength, maybe 1-2% of SFF max. just like CT/FF7. Marle isn't as hated as you guys make her out to be and she is kinda from the third most popular game on this site. I figure the fodder line is a good place for her, maybe a point or two higher. I think most CT characters would be right around there. there shouldn't be any Aeris is so screwed comments here. also, this is the brutal FF7 antivote vs. the dominating CT night vote. remember FF7/CT? now I don't think there'll be nearly as much of a swing, but this should go up pretty nicely once the day vote hits. *looks again* jesus christ she's ripping percentage off Aeris --- iddqd "MY SLEEPING PATTERNS ARE SHOT THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR FANFICTION" -windmage |

it's thinking like that that gets you in trouble. to me, GF is no more
a flop than Kerrigan or Terra or anyone else. why would anyone expect
him to have any strength? GF is only labelled like that because of the
fad behind him. --- iddqd "MY SLEEPING PATTERNS ARE SHOT THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR FANFICTION" -windmage |
