From MyWorldIsZelda Posted 10/19/2006 12:06:13 AM KOS-MOS 38.95% 525 Aeris Gainsborough 61.05% 823 TOTAL VOTES 1348 At the freeze. Man, either that anti-FFVII board vote is something else or Aeris might have trouble getting over 65%...although I have no clue how either of these two do during the day. Anyway, ZELDA > AERIS CONFIRMED. Day vote goes to the casualer character. I'd like to think that Aeris is a hell of a lot more casual and well-known than KOS-MOS TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy"- trancer1 |

Hypothetical situation: Aeris barely breaks 60%. What does Zelda score on her using last year's stat values for Terra and KOS Before I even bother calculating that, I'll just say that Zelda is going to be higher than Mario if we hold Terra constant. I think that says it all for this hypothetical situation. --- "Looking good, Princess, especially from this angle!" |

Overall prediction percentage: 92.76% Great performace today. The -1s go perfect and the -2s, -3s, -4s and -5s are pretty close. Oddly the -2s are still underperforming a bit.

Hey, if I wanted to spend an hour reading I would have gotten a book. I wanted to PLAY
a video game and even in the first hour I really didn't get to do that.
Less than 10 minutes of htat first hour was actual game play. What a
waste of time. You could buy a book for 1/5th the cost AND it'd be a
better story. Is it any wonder Namco had to can the series when they were only half done with it? No onw in their right mind wants to buy a game where you hardly play at all. --- If this post was overly verbose, that means I tried very hard to not call you an idiot.

62% on that update. Not bad, and I'd expect her to do better as the match goes on, but this ain't hitting a doubling. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Aeris pulled in 62.44% of the vote on that update. Heh. And yes, Turtle, I'm aware that Aeris will gain, but I just don't know her tendencies or KOS-MOS's. I would give it to Aeris without knowing anything other than she is in KH and KH2 -- but I'm lost on how much that'll be. --- "Looking good, Princess, especially from this angle!" |

Aeris won't outdo Luigi, that's for sure, but this is most definitely a
stronger KOS than last year. how much stronger? well, no one knows yet.
we'll know more vs. Zelda. gotta give props to KOS-MOS in avoiding a Tifa/Vyse-type situation. --- xyzzy |

Thats just how the game is Chich. The first couple are always
cutscenes. Patience is a virtue, you know. And XS beats most books when
it comes to story. It isnt a typical FF esque story. Plus you can go
wrong with robot girls wielding solar system destroying phase transfer
cannons. You can however go wrong when your sequel takes everything
good about the first game and throw it out the window... --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude! Board 8's Unofficial Master of the Phoenix Down |

From transience Posted 10/19/2006 12:15:58 AM Aeris won't outdo Luigi, that's for sure, but this is most definitely a stronger KOS than last year. how much stronger? well, no one knows yet. we'll know more vs. Zelda. gotta give props to KOS-MOS in avoiding a Tifa/Vyse-type situation. Like I said, this is completely different from Tifa/Vyse in that KOS-MOS has had a new release to keep her from falling off the map.

I had always been under the impression that Xenogears was a relatively
unpopular game with an ensemble cast...but after taking the fact that
it beat Pokemon GSC with little trouble and was almost certainly SFFed
by Xenogears, along with the fact that it does have a very obvious main
character (why do people rally for Citan?), I think Fei could have a
shot at cracking the fodder line. Though XG's time may be past, and that could be a little much to ask. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Regardless, I wouldn't take Aeris to beat Luigi after this match. After
all the Aeris/Tifa debates we've had, it's weird to realize that one of
them has such a clear edge in strength. --- The Little Mermaid 2-Disc Platinum Edition DVD Coming October 3, 2006 |

Hopefully this will put a nail in the "Tifa/Vyse was an SFF
fest!!!!!1111111111111" crew. I guarentee you if we ever see Vyse
again, his value would be close to, if not smaller than his 2k5 value. Forgettable characters like Vyse and KOS-MOS fall off the map without a steady influx of new games. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy"- trancer1 |
