Whoa, a correct spelling of "trailer!" I'm impressed!

I know... I've been doing it all day! I'm so impressed with myself.

You can say it's not the picture all you like, but please, come up a better explanation.

It's not MY fault you refuse to believe in KHIIF!

Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship:
Week 7: Bahamut (2-4)
EvenMyROgetsB7 | Posted 11/7/2006 8:03:01 AM | message detail
I think some voters are refusing to vote for Samus because they dislike her image without the suit... it's not a bad picture, but... it's like she's not Samus at all (someone else pointed that out...I forget). With Snake, he has some semblence of being that sneaky stealth man, and he gets hurt by 8-bit pictures... I also wouldn't be surprised to see Samus drop in strength permanently after SSBB comes out, regardless of the type of picture she has....well, she does have the new Metroid game coming out, so she'll probably be alright.

As for a Samus drop, I could see it...but not very much, though. She was too dominant in Round 2 and 3 to make me think that...I could see Tifa growing a good deal, though.

I have to admit that half the reason I'm a huge fan of Samus is because of her suit... I just wouldn't care for her if she was suitless in all her games.


That's a very good point actually... with someone with as bland of a personality as Samus, character design is HUGE when talking about how well liked a character is.

Seriously though, a Tifa boost of this proportion can't explain Jill/Peach, you know the one who would kick Chunners ass 9 ways to sunday if this was legit. I know you weren't really serious with that, but even if KHII boosts Tifa, it's not anywhere close to this extent.

And it did go to the better character!

I have to laugh. Anybody who thinks Tifa > The Boss is deluding themselves on a major scale.

I agree with EvenMyROgetsB7, Kh2 boost is certainly not that big.

I too actually favor EC's way of thinking. I don't believe the KH(II)F really does much, and even if it does it is usually negligible.

Someone give me a recap of the big happenings in this matchup. Is it over? Can Tifa still make a comeback? Or is Samus gonna jack all the day vote?

Come on people, at least Zelda can rSFF Samus if she make it into the final. Yuna will only be slaughtered by Samus.

Samus has only ever been blatantly sff'd once. Ever. To think zelda could sff her where gannon and link both failed seems like grasping at straws for an upset, where none exists.

dragoontheguy | Posted 11/7/2006 8:45:40 AM | message detail
And for now I'm attributing this almost entirely to the zero suit samus pic. If frog was able to come within 1.5% of snake with solid ****, why can't the samus that looks like a completely different character have a similar effect?

And the afterschool vote is going to be heavily diluted thanks to multiple states having school closed due to election day. Tifa is still far from out of it.

Why the hell did I bet against a character as deep, awesome and badass as Lara Croft, instead favouring a character from something as lame as HL2? Forgive me, XIII.
BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 11/7/2006 8:52:52 AM | message detail
Holy crap.....

This is like Mario/Cloud 2k3 all over again. Tifa has every single intangible going her way.

And say what you will about pictures having nothing to do with anything, Samus is freaking unrecognizable there. Samus is a futurustic bounty hunter using a high-tech, alien suit. Not Barbie with a lightsaber.

If Samus ends up beating the Male winner, I'll attribute Tifa's complete and utter overratedness to this picture among the other factors.

Also, this is making me feel a bit better about Mega Man > Snake

If Tifa boosted this much thanks to KH/AC/FF12, I'm afraid of how much Vincent boosted thanks to those plus his own game...

zwong, Sora likely boosted more than Tifa did, and Mega Man put 55% on that Sora. So Mega Man's 55% on Sora and 70% on Axel look amazing as opposed to vulnerable.

Vincent did not have that FF12 boost at that time. There are no influx of people coming here for FF12 faqs at that time.

WarThaNemesis, ok thanks for your explanation, i get what Black Turtle means now.

However i think Tifa got boosted due to FF12 influx boost,AC,Kh2 and slightly poorer picture of Samus.

...While their performances this year should make snake the favourite seeing as how they weren't even remotely far apart in the stats to begin with, calling his victory a lock is ridiculous.
