Wow, looking at that ExTha topic... does he REALLY take this stuff that seriously?

And, uh, I do believe most people in this topic had Peach in their brackets, so...

That doesn't matter. Peach winning by the second closest margin in contest history only confirms that Ulti rules us all even more.

Yeah, and Jill isn't too far over the fodder line.

But hey, I guess being a low-midcard is some moral victory!

You make a good point, Mac. Those being rallied for Jill would probably also be more likely to take the Zelda character than the FF6 character, so Zelda is doubly helped.

That being said... if the FF6 vote that gives Kefka leads against characters like Knux doesn't kick in pretty dang soon here, it is time to get worried.

Janus5000 | Posted 10/17/2006 9:23:20 PM | message detail
There were only one or two loudmouths here that were calling for her to be 'joke fodder' - addressing the stats topic as a whole is rather ridiculous.

Plus, for all you know, Jill is now joke fodder too. Don't judge characters based off of a few matches!

I think we've realized you were right, Ulti. No need to rub it in...well, beyond the rest of tonight, anyway.

I know, but "beyond tonight" hasn't happened yet.

You don't understand. The crap that Leon posted about Peach and her winning after being down 1430 is me getting my revenge for constantly having to deal with Magus > Squall quotes for a year and a half. So yes, I'm rubbing it in with no regrets, ESPECIALLY after Peach won despite being on the lower end of vote-stuffing.

Peach isn't fodder.

She's close, but not quite.

Although I'll wait until Peach/Tifa before laying down a complete opinion, I'd had Peach pegged as a low midcarder in my mind the whole time.

If Aeris falls short of the doubling I'll basically concede her chances against Zelda...sure, she looks pretty goofy in her match picture, but so did Zelda against Carmen and Aeris doesn't have much outstanding art to begin with.

Zelda 2k5's only projected to get 65.94 on KOS 2k3, and I'm expecting KOS to be that strong again. Falling short of the doubling wouldn't be cause for huge worry on Aeris's part.

And Ults, I wouldn't call Jill's stuffing without Peach's own obvious stuffing. They both had stuffers, and the result wouldn't be so different if the stuffed votes weren't there.

Battle #36 Analysis

CJayC
Posted 10/17/2006 9:23:48 PM
message detail An in-depth analysis shows lots of back and forth, lots of rallies, but no individuals who managed to alter the results of the contest.

Not that they didn't try, of course.

The "cheaters" vote-stuffed for Jill by only an extra 4%, but that would have been enough to tip the balance if we didn't have measures in place to block it. Of course, none of those votes actually counted, as did none of the votes from the three users were axed for vote-stuffing; all three for Peach.

Peach's ass is all bone anyway. Otherwise, if it were fat and large, it would completely soften the impact and she wouldn't destroy stuff.

So rather, it's Peach's lack of ass that allows her to kick ass.

If Aeris falls short of the doubling I'll basically concede her chances against Zelda...sure, she looks pretty goofy in her match picture, but so did Zelda against Carmen and Aeris doesn't have much outstanding art to begin with.

The difference there is that Carmen didn't have major TJF working in her favor. I wouldn't be surprised to see KOS-MOS overperform here.
