It's hard to believe that mario has at least half a dozen characters above the fodder line, but I guess it's true now that I think about it.

And KH, you may speak for yourself but I do have a vivid image of the tons of Peach arguments in this topic. Some people were passionate about Peach being total fodder and nobody caring about her. I remember simply suggesting that I didn't see why Peach couldn't have a Link/Mario-esque relationship with Zelda, and getting proceeding lectures on why Sheik makes Zelda so popular and other while Peach is simply a damsel in distress, yada yada. Throw in a bunch of "we're still talking about Peach????" comments, and I got a really strong notion that some people here simply didn't care for Peach at all. =P

Hey if you think about it, the entire cast of FF7 would place above the fodder line sans Cait Sith...now thats crazy but most likely true.

Karma Hunter | Posted 10/17/2006 4:46:30 PM | message detail
As long as Jill hasn't made yet another major drop-off, it's a pretty safe bet to assume Peach is above the Line.

And I know that Peach caused quite a stir in the stats topics more than a few times...but this match didn't cause much of a stir at all, which is the difference.

And Peach having a Link/Zelda-style relationship with Mario would make her at, what...Vivi's level? Yeah, that wasn't going to happen, but that's not Peach's fault...it's that Zelda's name is ****ing Zelda.

Zelda/Terra - Terra looks pretty bad in that pic
KOS-MOS/Aeris - This one's pretty good
Yuna/Joanna - This one looks good, but it's weird seeing them both facing the same way
Chun-Lu/Lara - What, did CJay give up on trying to find a background? Ew.

Zelda/Terra is...bleh. Quite ugly.
KOS-MOS/Aeris is godly. Biggest TJF ever, awesome KOS-MOS. Lame-o Aeris.
Yuna/Joanna is really good. They have almost the same pose.
Lara/Chun-Li? Horrible....wtf, I could make a better one in 10 minutes.

Ceej'll probably make a topic about it later, but INSIDE INFORMATION!

-There was a major vote-stuffing attempt for Jill, but none of the votes actually went through. Everything in the book has been attempted in the past, so it's easy to spot and remove cheating attempts (PS, the method MarkSmith got banned over doesn't work anymore).
-No cheating was detected for Peach, just a "lol the kiddies are out of school" vote surge for her akin to Kairi's.

So basically everything is legit.... so far, at least. Go Peach go!

Meh, the NL championship is an exercise in futility. They're basically just competing to see which team gets to be owned by the tigers. :P

Damn this is close just about 200 vote difference.
Janus5000 | Posted 10/17/2006 5:07:11 PM | message detail
Zelda/Terra looks okay, though the Zelda pic isn't really all that great without a visible sword, and I don't like the fire background.

KOS-MOS has TJF and Aeris has KHF - too bad the one that wins matches makes Aeris uglier. =(

STOP USING X-2 PICS >:O Joanna looks okay, though. Sorta wish they weren't facing the same direction.

Ugh, I don't like the shadows on Lara's face at all - it doesn't really go with the background or Chun's pic.

Oh, and Jill gained ten votes while I was typing this.

Anyone think Jill could start swinging it back a little bit around 11-11:30? Hopefully Peach will have a big enough lead by then to hold off the comeback. This has the makings for a great finish though.

Man, Chun-Li looks like a chubby ten-year-old boy who's wondering why he's so teased at school. No way I'm voting for that thing against Lara's hotness.
