So does that mean that Crono will boost aganist Sonic and Zelda is screwed aganist Yuna?

Guys.. what if Samus is SO unrecognizable to the casual voters that Tifa wins the casual day vote?

Zelda is far too strong for Yuna. And Crono is unknown with the "casual" FF fan.

I don't think the FF influx will affect Crono much, but it should guarantee that Sonic/Crono doesn't favor anyone.

Yuna I doubt can rise enough to beat Zelda. I really REALLY doubt it.

By the time of Cloud vs. Link there will be a potential "Wii" Factor and the possibility that the FF12 factor could have faded a little.

In the last two hours, Samus has only won 8 updates out of 24. In the last 2 hours 30 minutes, she has won only 13.

I think Snake and Sonic hover at Samus' level now, and MM might potentially be at the bottom.

The picture can only be blamed for this for so much -- if it can even be blamed at all. Bowser was overrated, what, 2 percent and some change against Snake? Assuming he didn't drop any this year (and he might have, looking at Luigi). There's no way ZSS has even near the effect of Solid ****. Heck, Snake getting a MGS4 picture in his Squall match should have hurt him more than ZSS should hurt Samus.

I really don't think Samus has fallen so far to be at the bottom tier -- this is her first disappointing match since Mario. A disappointment against Zelda could confirm some things, though.

She certainly doesn't look to be the 'lock' that many considered her to be at the beginning of the contest, though.

There's no way I'm letting this decide how I feel about Samus...yet. The percentages will be changing a hell of a lot by the end of the match, though Tifa has certainly impressed anyway -- she's certainly going to do better on Samus today than she did on Sonic last year...hell, Tifa's certainly going to do better on Samus today than SONIC did in 2k4. Both of those are happening, barring some AMAZING swings...

...Tifa's got good reason to boost from last year and Samus had reason to under-perform a bit, but even still, there's no way Tifa doesn't come out of this looking like gold.

Man. It looks like Tifa would be on pace to almost take the lead right when morning hits.

In other words, she'll probably just miss it.

Even if Tifa wins here, Starcraft > Wind Waker will take the cake for the biggest upset in history, considering:

1: No one save the diehard Starcraft fans (ie: Me) thought Starcraft would even make it out of there.

2: It was an 8-seed PC game going vs. a Gamcube Link game

3: Starcraft was able to rally from a total much smaller than the current lead in such a short period of time.

Say what you will about Tifa/Samus, 60/40 Samus would put Tifa around her levels. I doubt few people would've ever thought Starcraft would pull 40% on a Zelda game, much less win.

Heh...imagine if we still had our old poll-times?

Tifa would be keeping everybody up all night.

Well if Samus isn't at the bottom of the n9, then Tifa is in it so that's why I think she's down near the bottom.

She dissapointed aganist Rikku and Nidoran F, too.

Assuming Tifa ends at 48.73% and using Samus 2k5, here's the Limit Division on BL:

Tifa Lockheart - 40.63
Princess Peach - 27.58
Jill Valentine - 27.58
Sheena Fujibayashi - 20.94
The Boss - 20.68
Ivy Valentine - 19.35
Celes Chere - 16.09
Princess Daisy - 9.32

So basically, Tifa > Crono, Peach and Jill > Leon 2k5, and Sheena = Kratos.

Celes is still lower than Terra though. <_<

But The Boss is behind FF7/MGS SFF! Surely Celes can't be adjusted up?

There's no real way to adjust her. It just depends on what you think The Boss would have got on Tifa without SFF.

Karma Hunter | Posted 11/7/2006 12:57:19 AM | message detail
Okay, people are being a little ridiculous now. This isn't a picture factor on par with Snake's sprite; if Tifa's benefitting here it's by like a percent or so. And I was a proponent of ZSS hurting Samus before the match. The rest is just these character's strengths and whatever other factors you think may be at play.

The gap between the Noble Nine and other non-Noble Nine characters should be practically non-existent by the end of this contest. It isn't looking like it'll be just one character either...sheesh.

MyWorldIsZelda | Posted 11/7/2006 1:00:14 AM | message detail
And while blaming this match on the picture is an "easy" way out, it's hard to accept it doing this much when it isn't even a bad picture. It's hard to believe that Samus has such varying strength simply if you remove her suit. It may be playing a factor, but it isn't the cause of this...

Yeah but this is way to hard for me to accept. I like Tifa and all but how is Samus going to stand a chance against the guys if Tifa has winning almost every update for 2 hours? Surely Tifa can't be stronger than Snake, Megaman, Crono or Sonic?

It's hard to imagine what would need to happen for all of this to end up looking normal.

Sora gets 46% on Mega Man, Auron gets 45.5% against Crono, Vincent gets 48% on Sonic, Tifa is getting 49% on Samus...

NOW ZELDA JUST NEEDS TO TIP THE SCALES AND BREAK THIS BLASTED NOBLE NINE !!

Good thing Zelda has looked far more dominative than Yuna could have hoped to be!

Yes, but then put Ganon at 46% on Sonic. Then put Zelda at what should easily be 45%+ on Samus. It won't be just Square characters that end up that high; they're just fortunate enough to be facing them...or unfortunate since they're losing. Whatever!
