I can see Sora being anywhere from 10th to 15th. The problem is put him against FF and he's doomed.

I picked Tifa, Sonic and Snake to win.

You also have 18 alts running around this topic.

I can't see Sora being 10th. That's the only place I think is impossible for him right now. It would put Mega Man a noticeable bit ahead of Sonic when everything else is saying otherwise.

This year's near elites have been extremely impressive against their noble nine competition (with the notable exception of Snake's opponents). Too bad it's the last time any of them sans Megaman can be touched...

Who do you think has the chokehold on 10th? Vincent? I'd probably agree that he's stronger than Sora, but it's possible, as unlikely as it is.

Vincent is practically a lock for 10th, in my mind. Sora getting more than 48% on Sonic would astound me far more than this match right now is.

16 peoples in the top 50 picked Samus as their champion,and 90% of the rest probably picked Samus over Tifa,but lose to Male winner or something
This match can change the top 50 totally,and if Zelda will beat Samus...oh man..

Is the picture and KHII really making this much difference?

HOW? Were the heck was the boost in the first couple of rounds sans Kairi and Riku?

Tifa/Zelda would be a far more interesting female final than Samus/Zelda...Of course, it'd be a more boring overall final, but meh, I'll sacrifice it for Tifa's sake!

So if Sonic/MM were to happen, you'd expect Sonic to win with at least 52%? Interesting. I too think he would win at this point, probably with that much as well, but it's just weird to see after what happened last year, granted we've seen much bigger shifts. I'd probably put Sora at either 11th or 12th when all is said and done. 10th = Vincent, 11th/12th = Sora/Squall. Squall got jobbed hard this year. I would have taken him over any non nobler + Vincent pre-contest, and I still would now, it's just a matter if Sora is stronger indirectly or not to me.

Vincent isn't even going to be placed at 10th, he'll be higher than some of the NN in the X-stats. Sonic is going to steamroll through the male division, so it will be interesting to see how high Vincent ends up.

Agreed. But if anyone can leapfrog Crono, and I truly and honestly believe Sonic can, it'd be nice to see how they perform on Samus, or possibly beat her. I don't see it happening, but against Zelda/Tifa it would be a snore fest. It'd be hilarious if we got Zelda/Tifa after all the *****ing about switching Aeris/Tifa in the bracket pre-contest, to see Zelda/Tifa, and sacrifice Aeris to Samus. Oh man... everyone would be on the EC train of happy-happy-Samus underration if that happened.

I wish there was a poll yesterday asking "Is Samus a male or female?" and see how many people say male, female, or I don't know.

All of a sudden, nobody's safe in this bracket anymore. If this is NOT all picture, I'm taking Zelda to win next round. If it is all picture, Zelda should get 45%.

Yes, blame it on the picture. OMGZ NO WAY ANYONE COULD RECOGNIZE HER!!! It's not like she ever appears that way in the games, nor does she have the name "Samus" in all the games. Completely unrecognizable.

It can't ever be "proven" to affect anything.

People just seem to think that the picture has something to do with the outcome of the match. 99% of voters aren't going to forget who the character is just because of the picture. Most casual gamers will still know who the characters are regardless of the picture. If they don't know the character then obviously the other character that they do know deserves their vote, because in that case they would be more popular.

End of story.

If 10% of the people think she's male, and 50% of those don't check out whether or not they're wrong, that leaves 5% not knowing she's female. If only 2.5% of those were to vote for Samus but vote for Tifa, that'd be a huge hit to Samus.

Then Zelda is the female bracket winner and loses to the male winner. Not like Tifa is going to win though, so no one needs to worry.

No, they'd rather just ignore that nothing else makes sense and ignore that the picture can make a difference.

The gap is under 600 votes. I'm too lazy to check what it is but she has been gaining all day.

Tifa is easily stronger than Zelda. Aeris is just one of the weakest FF7 chars.

But you think that if Samus wins this that she will beat Zelda and go on to do respectably against the male bracket winner?

I swear to god, next year's gonna be chaos. If this is Tifa being over-rated bad, then if the male half now have close matches here on out and in the championship as well, then the Battle Royal's not going to tell us anything much except who's the two strongest and who wins between them, then bring back lots of snubs like Knuckles and Ness or how about some Fox McCloud...THEN consider we'll have the new influx brought by the PS3 and Wii, not to mention the big games that will follow and such...

Tifa is constantly gaining now. I think this might just be the end of the Noble 9.

Who would've expected Samus to be the cause of it? If it happened, I seriously thought Mega Man was going to be the cause of it.

How anyone can believe this match is over is beyond me. It's under a 600 vote lead for Samus, and decreasing, sure Samus will probably get the day vote, but it won't be anything absolutely massive looking at the morning vote. Tifa could always come back later.
