I'll take a wild stab and guess that Zelda ends with about 58%.

Hey, I got jumped earlier this year for saying that Zelda > Bowser would be one of the biggest upsets from last year that I could reasonably see happen AND that Zelda could keep close with Ganon and possibly win it...so you aren't the only one, though I'm not about to say "Gyah, I knew it all along, 110%!" either.

Yuffie would've been far more interesting than like 75% of the female half.


I'd take all the 1/2/3 seeds over her except for Kairi and KOS-MOS

Zelda > Yuna was always a lock. Although it will be interesting to see where Yuna finishes in relation to Aeris.

I think Yuna has a definite chance to impress in that match by coming close to where Aeris finishes.

I'm totally voting Zelda because of SSBM, myself -- if it was just her role in the LoZ series compared to my experiences with Aeris (FF7 afew times and FF:AC), it'd be pretty tough for me to decide on.

Zelda's just dominating right now. She pulled in 59.23% (lead of 789) and doesn't look to be slowing down any time soon. I'm both pleased and impressed with what Zelda is doing right now.

As for the better character...Aeris was always my second favorite FFVII character (after Yuffie, of course!), so I voted for her, but Zelda's pretty cool too. I was always fond of her in LttP, and Sheik's a great character (though she was better when I thought she was Link's dad!).

Zelda is just dominating here...looks like she'll finish with over 56%, possibly over 57%.

This might be an indication of Link just kicking ass too, though I hope not.

Eh, Zelda's last two updates were 57%, still in the power hour... I think Aeris could still finish above 44, but she needs to maintain this for now and start breaking even in the night vote.

I'm not a Nintendrone, I just can't stand the annoying douchiness that is Aeris. She is the lamest character in her game, and behind only the cast of FF9 and Teedus in terms of overall lameness.

Well, at least Aeris is meeting my expectations so far. Hopefully she impresses enough that I score the crew point, but not so much that it falls to the ravenous pack in the 53-55% range.

Given Aeris's history with the day vote and then Zelda's, it's very safe to say that this ends well above 55%.

And it was all Aeris!

You mean the Zelda that was supposed to have a good match with Vivi? Zelda is doing to Aeris what she did to Vivi. This isn't the same Zelda.

If we were to assume Aeris 2k3 = Aeris 2k5 and last year's stats remain correct...

.....if Zelda finishes with 53%, she is damn near even with Kirby.
.....if Zelda finishes with 55%, she is almost equal to Bowser.
.....if Zelda finishes with 57%, she is just under Sonic.
.....if Zelda finishes with 59%, she'll barely be above Crono.



It's worth noting that Aeris-2k3/Zelda-2k5 was expected to have Zelda get 51.33%, by the way. However, it's also worth pointing out that it looks as if Kirby and Bowser are a bit over-rated from last year. Then, if you feel Zelda can beat Ganon, being around Vincent's strength is inevitable. I don't foresee Zelda > Crono though, heh...though didn't Terra and Kerrigan say Zelda > Mario? =P

I've always been one to think that Zelda was going to break 45% on Samus. This just reinforces that more than ever. It's hard to deny the fact that Zelda has put on three consecutive performances that have been extremely impressive.

Solid Snake last year was also stronger than any other time we've ever seen him, and he looked particularly impressive since 2k4 was his worst year by far. That isn't a fair comparison either.

Samus can't SFF anything. If you think she's going to SFF the namesake of the Zelda series then you're insane, and it's nuts to think Zelda can't get 40% not counting SFF.

Yeah...when you have the only 100,000-in-a-match bragging right, two characters saying you're stronger than Mario, and currently beating Aeris worse than Solid Snake did in 2k3 WHILE still being projected to be stronger than Crono DESPITE any type of influx FF:AC/KH2/DoC/FF12 may have done for her this year...

...yeah, Zelda's going to do very well against Samus, especially if my theory of SSB-favoritism holds any ground since Zelda could steal many of those votes away from Samus.

Samus got nearly 60% on Ganondorf. Barring rSFF, if she's weaker than Ganon, she will fail to break 40%.

Zelda will do all right vs. Samus, but she's not going to win. let's see here...

assuming a constant KOS-MOS and Zelda finishing with 58%:

KOS-MOS 2k5:

Aeris - 27.77%
Zelda - 33.06%

KOS-MOS 2k4:

Aeris - 31.60
Zelda - 37.62

I'd guess she's somewhere in the middle there - Aeris just hasn't looked good this year. Zelda is also probably stronger, but she's not suddenly going to boost to 40% for no apparent reason, nor is she going to rSFF Samus when Ganondorf couldn't. she'll do okay, but let's be realistic.

Nah, I feel confident she'll break 40%...45% is a stretch, but it's within her reach if the chips fall in the right places. I wouldn't imagine her ending up any higher than that practically no matter what, but she's got a fair enough range to work with.
