What does Zelda have to do with anything? ...I wasn't telling you anything; I was just making mention of Zelda. Every performance Aeris has relates directly to her match with Zelda. It doesn't have to be all XS III anyway. 24% at base Link is still under her 2k4 value. Yeah. By a whopping .24%. Woohoo! --- "Thank You Mario! But our Princess is in another castle!" |

I think you tend to overexaggerate boosts for characters just a bit too much. To see that coming from you, XD. I don't think a 2.7% boost is a stretch for a couple reasons. One, it's a lot easier to boost when you're down at KOS-MOS's level than, to pick a totally random example, Ganon's level. Second, she's just returning to her old strength anyway... so if people who voted for her in 2003 and 2004 have liked her new game, or even just heard good things about it, she could recover that strength much more easily than someone trying to move up to a new level. Of course, I can't claim that this isn't disappointing for Aeris. I'm just saying it doesn't mean she'd lose to Luigi (especially Luigi 2k5). --- ....TCELES B HSUP |

...I wasn't telling you anything; I was just making mention of
Zelda. Every performance Aeris has relates directly to her match with
Zelda. Yeah well, we can agree on that then. Zelda's the huge favourite. Yeah. By a whopping .24%. Woohoo! You're going to take me on the wording? Whatever. "Around" her 2k4 level then. And that's still being conservative; she's had XS II and III since then. --- CB: 38/40. Today: Zelda vs. Terra. Tomorrow: KOS-MOS vs. Aeris. |

I think it's perfectly acceptable for Aeris. Without a boost since last year, Zelda loses to Aeris. --- Smurf. The Cream of Jill Valentine Fanboyism. |

Why the hell is everyone so sold on SMS boosting Mario to ridiculous
levels to thwart Cloud in 2K2? How about things were just different
back then. Would Cloud have won without it? Yeah, but that doesn't mean
Mario boosted into the stratosphere due to it coming out that day, we
have no idea where either of those characters stood back then. I'm
really not sold on day of the match releases boosting characters that
much. I'd rather have the match come a week later when people have
actually played the game. --- Portugal. The Man Cheer Up Emo Kids |

Considering Megaman gave Sephiroth a run for his money, I don't think
Cloud would have beaten Mario too badly. Though I do think he would
have won without those circumstances, if only by like, 1% In any case, Cloud technicaly doing worse than Crono is ridiculous --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

Both of those have been talked about very seriously, yet rely on 2K2.

will talk about any numbers/factors seriously, it doesn't mean that

It's ridiculous because the match was so close. Even if Cloud would of
only ended up a sliver better than Crono, he WOULD of beat Mario
without Sunshine coming out on the day of the match. I don't see how
anyone can debate that. --- Demyx > Axel Z1mZum owned me in the Guru Contest with his mad skills! |

I think SMS didn't only affect Mario on his match with Cloud, but also
his match with Crono (it was only 4 days later), though more on
Mario/Cloud. Mario would've beaten Crono with 51.5% if CJayC actually
bothered to take out the remaining 2,500 stuffed votes for Crono... --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

Oh, and what The n00b avenger said. That said, I wouldn't want to count
Aeris out (see foreshadowing of Mario/Crono in 2K3), but obviously
Zelda should be favored. --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

I'm pretty sure you're underrating Tifa and Zelda's 4-packs, and overrating Rikku's and possibly Peach's. At this point, I'm not trying to look for potential boosts and whatnot. I'm mostly just sticking in a value from a previous contest and seeing what it looks like. I think this will help give an idea of who boosted, who dropped, etc. It's not meant to be accurate. Serge's time has come and gone. He would have been a good new character in 2003 or maybe 2004. I doubt he'd be worth much now - I certainly wouldn't take him over Zidane. Meh, after seeing Marle come awfully close to breaching the fodder line and Lavos looking half decent, I still want to see what the Chrono Cross main can do. He probably wouldn't do much, but you never know. I'm really not up for trusting KOS-MOS 2k4 when there is nothing wrong with KOS-MOS 2k5, which is her more recent strength. Nothing wrong with it except it drops Aeris down in the 29% range on BL, and she loses to Luigi 2005 with 46.05% of the vote. I'm all for Tifa > Aeris, but not by THAT much. --- Squall Leonhart's Road to the Character Battle V Championship: Round 2: (1) Solid Snake |

Also, just curious... ...but Carmen Sandiego is expected to get 40.99% against Kerrigan according to the stats. Do you feel that's too much for Carmen's exposure -- exposure she couldn't use against Zelda -- to take advantage of Kerrigan's weakness and make it close?

Eh, cult characters aren't as bad with
the day vote as people think. KOS-MOS won it against Ryu before (then
again, it IS Ryu), and Albedo won it against Bison (once again, it's SF
we're talking about). Sora/HK-47 had very minimal shifts, despite the KH day vote, which he ripped Hayabusa using. Vyse did lose it to Cloud, but then again, it's Cloud, one of the most anti-voted characters by the board. He's almost guaranteed to gain with the day vote, unless he's facing Link. The same thing happened with Sephiroth/Ramirez. Vyse actually DID take the day vote from Tifa, however. ...I just realized that Ultros had 39%+ on Wily before the morning vote hit. Man, the FFVI day vote sucks. Mithos took the day vote from Kefka when Wesker did NOTHING with it. Man, the FFVI and RE day votes suck. Giygas got beat down pretty badly with the day vote. Ghaleon did take it from Vergil, and Lavos took it from Liquid Snake. Man, the MGS day vote sucks. KOS-MOS actually took the after school vote from Luigi and didn't get utterly destroyed by the morning vote. She gained 1.5% from her lowest percentage in the morning. Laharl lost ground to Yoshi though. Kratos Aurion took the day vote from Diablo, who destroyed Kefka and Bison with it (then again, it's FFVI and SF). Lloyd took it from Wesker, too. Then again, it's RE. In general, it seems that cult characters face characters who suck with the day vote. --- Squall Leonhart's Road to the Character Battle V Championship: Round 2: (1) Solid Snake |

There's a difference between one rising with one (or two here) dropping
and an over-performance though -- I think that's just the safe way of
saying SFF in a smaller way...and I think if you give Terra an equally
strong opponent as Zelda, that same result happens. If that is how it
really is, then Carmen's still expected to get 41% on Kerrigan
statistically. --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Weird Al Yankovic (#9) |

KOTOR was also slated to be a trilogy and both games sold alot. If they
can find time for Jade Empire 2 (lol inferior game) they'll find it for
one of (and I believe THE) best selling series they have.
