One reason SFF may be so severe: Tidus rides the popularity of FFX much
more than Squall from FFVIII, and FFX is significantly more popular. --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Oh Teedus, not only do you completely suck in your game, but you suck in everything else too. Feeling very comfortable about Zero taking his fourpack now. And after this, I'd say Squall/Bowser is too close to call. And if Round 2 is a sprite round..... may God help us all! TuRtLe ~~~ I used my brain and statistics to make my bracket.

I don't think so. Tidus will probably gain once the overnight vote hits
and from there.. well, who knows. I think it's a safe bet to stay in
the low 70's. I don't remember Squall being good with the day vote either. I know he lost it vs. Vincent and, of course, vs. Knuckles. I don't recall him flopping with it though. --- iddqd "MY SLEEPING PATTERNS ARE SHOT THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR FANFICTION" -windmage |

Is it fair to say that Squall has a decent shot at achieving the tripling? It depends mostly on what happens in the day, but a half hour ago I would've said he has no chance at all... now he's making significant percentage gains per update again. It's entirely possible. --- When D... I'd be able to finish this sig if Z1mZum didn't own me so hard in the guru contest. Congrats on your victory! |

Well, Tidus' day vote sucked against Kirby. But then again, the pink ball is a Nintendo character. Squall actually beating Snake = major bracket buster. --- Currently playing: Dark Cloud 2 - Medal hunting (303/396) |

And, if Luigi gets by Zero, Kirby has the 4-pack in the bag. :p To me, Zero/Luigi is no contest. Zero got over 45% on Mega Man and Sonic. Luigi barely broke that against Tifa.

For what it's worth, SMB exceeded anybody's expectations against FF in
the series contest. Luigi might've boosted again. And, we still can't
say for sure if Zero's underrated. But, yeah, odds are very much in
Zero's favor. --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

I'm a firm believer that Zero underratedness through Mario and Kirby
overratedness through Bowser and Snake means that Zero should have his
fourpack in the bag. Not to mention Tidus really being this damn weak and Kirby overperforming on Bowser who in turn overperformed against Snake really meshes up, and helps explain Kirby's mysterious boost and Tidus sucking more than he should have.

Yes, I am feeling bad about my Kirby>Zero pick... at least for the moment. Zero seemed like he was on the down... Kirby on the up... but it is just one match... and you cant take what Kirby did against Bowser away... Ehh... GO SQUALL. KB |

If Zero > Tifa, Aeris > Tifa! Pre-KH2, of course. And back then, what's wrong with Aeris > Tifa? It doesn't necessarily follow though, as 2k3 gave us some pretty decent evidence that Zero's stronger than Aeris, so Zero > Aeris = Tifa is quite possible. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

I wouldn't take Aeris over Tifa. A good chunk of the FF7 fanbase doesn't like Aeris at all, while a bigger chunk either likes, or is indifferent towards Tifa. TuRtLe ~~~ I used my brain and statistics to make my bracket. Karma Hunter used MGS fanboyism. KH won. Commit it to memory. |

Squall has absolutely kicked Tidus's ass. Even then though, it's still mostly SFF with a big pinch of KH2 thrown in as well. I'm not gonna use this match to say this match means Squall will really impress against Solid, but this match does mean Squall has a very impressive win here.

Goodness gracious...this is a helluva whupping. I suspected Squall could push a doubling but this is hilarious (and I voted for Tidus). Given Squall's presence in Kingdom Hearts he's probably more likely to take the day vote too. A tripling might even be likely at this point. Interesting how Squall goes up every year while Tidus drops every year. I never would think that Tidus fans are that loyal to him. They have to spend enough time justifying why he's a good character in the first place! Heh. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Regarding Zero/Kirby, the two things that never made sense to me were
Kirby being favored over Zero and Yoshi being favored over Dante. Glad to see that people are coming to their senses on Zero/Kirby. Kirby has a good shot to win, but Zero deserves to be the favorite. Though on Dante, as I said earlier I wouldn't be surprised to see Ryu overperform on him. I don't really think that would indicate weakness on Dante's part. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I believe the stats topic faves are Zero and Dante, actually. it's the
rest of the board that believes in all things Nintendo - which, given
the last contest, is not all that bad of an idea. --- xyzzy |

The BOP is pretty much the definitive source for who the pre-contest

that. I doubt it would differ much anyway. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Now is another good time to say it: Link is so screwed. Interesting result, makes me wish I had gone a bit higher...but yeah, I'm definitely feeling better about KH2 doing wonders for Squall...like I said, he definitely has a shot against Snake, it's just that I think in the end Snake is going to pull rSFF to win if he has to. Hey, if KH2 didn't do much -- sorry Ganon, no Devil Division overratedness for you! In fact, this might be partially Squall's real strength being hidden thanks to Crono/Vincent SFF! =D Also, Kirby is screwed, as if I needed more convincing. And no overrating for Dante, but I considered the strongest Dante possible when taking Yoshi over him -- I like to rely on a character's strengths, rather than their weaknesses. ...no one getting a little antsy about Link/Cloud? You all have seemed to take the idea that KH2 won't do nearly as much as KH1 for granted... --- Commit it to memory. |

heh, didn't even think about Cloud vs. Link with this in mind. again, I don't think we should read too
much into it - this is just a Square/Square SFF match and we've seen
those before. heck, Cloud beat Squall worse than Squall's beating Tidus
- of course Cloud is in a whole different stratosphere than Squall or
Tidus are, but the point stands. to me, this match is more about what
KH in general has done for Squall. you could make the point that Squall
and Tidus were approximately equal before KH came out, and I think the
stats actually say that Tidus is stronger. *looks* yeah, almost 10%
stronger, though those are 2k2 and, well, lol 2k2 stats. does Squall beat Tidus in 2k2? yeah, probably. but a lot of this result is just showing what Kingdom Hearts can do for a character. --- xyzzy |

The BOP is pretty much the definitive source for who the pre-contest
board favorites are. No way to judge stats topic favorites outside of
that. I doubt it would differ much anyway. you'd be amazed, actually. the frequent posters in this topic are a slightly different crowd to the main board. for example, the stats topic was Mario Kart > Mega Man's biggest supporter whereas the board was almost overwhelmingly in Mega Man's favour. (of course, once a couple of us started arguing the pick, a lot of the board switched.) I'm fairly certain that Zero is the majority pick of the frequent posters in here. --- xyzzy |

I don't call this as picture proof of anything, but I'll be damned if all this Squall > Snake hype goes around and I don't get a Cloud > Link shot edgewise. And Tidus > Squall that decisively in 2k2 makes me think something's up there. Part of it is Tidus being overrated, but another part is likely, yes, Snake/Squall. So that helps Squall's case for being stronger...but not so much for him actually winning against Snake. I mean, I'm not the only one that would take Squall > Sonic before Squall > Snake, right? --- Commit it to memory. |

I mean, I'm not the only one that would take Squall > Sonic before Squall > Snake, right? I thought about this once and figured Sonic / Squall was the best matchup. or maybe Mega Man / Squall, though Mega Man did a real number on Tidus. granted Tidus is no Squall, but the point stands. --- xyzzy |

Meh, I don't necessarily accept it as fact, it's just too weird to

well, if there's been one theme of this contest so far, it's "lol 2k2
stats". a direct match means a little bit more than x-stats, but I
still question a four year old match. ..though 65/35 is tough to ignore. plus Squall's had a couple big reasons to boost and we never saw him in any other matches, so we have no idea what to think of that Snake match. for all we know KH could be his main source of strength. --- xyzzy |

Squall was a lot weaker in 2K2 than he is now. But weak enough to lose to Tidus...? ...and honestly, why people think Tidus has lost strength baffles me. The man was overrated in 2k2 and 2k3. Thing is, even Tidus' worst value beats 2k2 Squall... --- Commit it to memory. |
