That's a pretty solid update for Tifa right there, considering we're still entrenched in the Nintendo Power Hour.

...Yeah. I just realized that it really doesn't matter where Tifa finishes because of her next round opponent.

Anyway, good match tomorrow -- and not because of any potential close match!

Dpoblivion, I still have some hope for Aeris, just not much. We've definitely seen bigger upsets than Aeris over Zelda would be though. That statement might not inspire much confidence, but it's true.

Which makes it more impressive that Crono resisted Bowser, clearly he can transcend the Nintendo/Square rivalry. Unfortunately it doesn't explain why his day vote went down the hole.

Eh, Tifa's day vote is pretty bad. It's not Jill-esque, but she didn't do much with it against The Boss.

Tifa might be as bad as Jill with the day. The Boss didn't win any of the day vote against Celes, of all characters. Jill lost huge against Sheena after-school, but ToS has a very good day vote...Kratos Aurion stayed even with Diablo.

I suppose that's a point. I never really thought about how bad it could be, but I just always recalled Tifa really sucking hard during the day. Aeris is kind of like that too.

Holy crap, go Peach! She'll almost certainly avoid the doubling. Now all I hope for is a good Tifa performance on Samus, and both my ladies (Peach and Jill) will look great! Woo!

someone wasn't gaming in the 80's to appreciate such a line.

There are a number of people who got their copies tonight from this board and at the same time, most of them are voting for Zelda still. I really doubt it does much of anything to affect a match.

yeah, cause FF12 would never bring new people to GameFAQs or anything! that's the whole idea of FF12 helping out FF characters, not that playing FF12 was going to suddenly make them like Aeris. that'd be pretty stupid.

oh, and if Zelda doesn't start off with like 60% against Aeris, I'll be worried for her. between FF7 antivoting, bracket voting and Nintendo loving, Zelda should clean house to start the poll.

I was really worried about Tifa at the start of this, but it looks like she's going to manage to recover and perform pretty respectably, assuming Peach is benefitting from the Nintendo hour. I'm hoping she can get it over 65% and keep it there... anything less would be a disappointment in my opinion.

Who's in charge of the Odds Project? Do you have my bracket saved? I didn't give a tiebreaker, and possibly not my BR either, and I got it in late......or if the project is archived somewhere....

Can you tell me if I picked Peach or Tifa to win this match at the time I posted it? I can almost guarantee I said Tifa at the time....

...KHF had, oh, I don't know, time to get into full effect and the characters it primarily helped actually were in the game. This is really not going to create anything remotely close to what KHF did -- and it did a whopping 2% for Aeris! -- and the characters its supposed to help aren't even in the game.

You'd have to expect Zelda and Aeris to be essentially equals heading into the match in order to think that's going to potentially change the result...and nothing has indicated they're anything close to equals.

I'm not saying Aeris wins that match, but to discount the idea of the first real Final Fantasy in five years helping her is.. well, fanboyish!

Yeah. Those people coming to the site are guaranteed to be voting for Aeris! No doubt about it, folks, this is going to be big for her -- and all FF characters! Believe it!


...Yeah, no. I'm not believing it does anything that notable for them until I see it.

FF12 won't be having a noticeable effect.

Higher votals coupled with the fact that the game will only have had about a week to soak in means we'll have a watered down version of the KHF at best

BT, after hearing you say Frog would get 55% on Sub-Zero if it wasn't for the new MK game that came out before MC/SZ, I don't want to ever hear you say FF12 would be a watered-down KHF at best...and I say this fully knowing Sub-Zero's in the MK game while Aeris isn't in the FF game. The difference is THAT big...

BOLD PREDICTION: Whatever MK:A did for Sub-Zero, FF12 does more for Aeris.




Do note that I don't think FF12 ain't going to do much for Aeris, but to say that after the mess you made about Sub-Zero, I just don't even want to hear that.

You're being intentionally dense. The game doesn't need to make anyone like Aeris more, it just needs to bring some Final Fantasy fans to GameFAQs looking for a FAQ. It won't be a big effect, but it certainly can't hurt.
