There was SFF...Samus is underrated...just like she'll be underrated next year if she loses this match or if she wins and doesnt absolutely decimate everyone...

Um...well Tifa gained 5 votes still on the last update. So I don't think there is going to be any preventing it since I would give the night vote and whatnot to Tifa.

Samus should have won the contest last year with clinkeroth out of it.
And then this year it was handed on a plate to her, and it looks like she's about to choke again.

Samus is to contests what DK is to matches. =)

I want it to go down the wire

It would probably be the most unexpected down the wire match of this contest...

I got Samus, Aeris, Megaman and Sonic winning this round. It's possible that I won't get any points in this round >_>

TCA your still looking at it in terms of the NN...its not...Clinkeroth is so far above everyone right now its foolish to even think about anyone beating Clinkeroth...its based on strength, not contest history like the NN...in fact, after TP it might just be Link and those two FF7 guys then everyone else...>_>

It's nearly 3, so this is day vote time and Tifa looks like she's going to take it.
So does that make Tifa the favorite right now?

Cloud beats Link this year anyway.

So it would be interesting to see what happens between Cloud and Link next year after TP is released.

Also, it would be equally interesting to see what would happen if they really did re-create FF7 for the PS3 with the enhanced graphics. I think at that point Sephiroth and Cloud would become their own tier, too.

Zelda is NOT doing anything Ganondorf couldn't. She isn't.

It would be really easy considering she has far more in her corner, including a sucky looking Samus, and Zelda may already be stronger than Ganondorf beforehand.

If you tinker with the stats and assume there was no SFF, does Tifa's performance make sense now?

Exactly! All the SFF was in Samus/Ganon, not Mario/Samus. Well, I don't really buy that, but I've thought Samus was a tad overadjusted for a year now, and there was SFF in Samus/Ganon. Sure Samus is terrible at SFF, but at least she didn't let Link beat her down worse than CATS with it.

As for this match, I'd say it's a combination of the picture, KH2, and FFXII. FFXII is the biggest game to ever release during a contest: 1.5 million copies sold is no joke. If only 3% of that votes in a poll, that's 45000 extra votes. For comparison, Cloud typically gets around that percentage of people who have bought FFVII to vote for him.... Of course, much of the FFXII voters would have voted anyway even without the game, but if SMS could turn Mario/Cloud from a 55/45 affair into a 50/50 match with 1/5 the sales, then FFXII could give a similar shift for Auron and Tifa. As for Aeris... well, the game didn't have as many sales then, and maybe the people who bought FFXII like Zelda more?

I like how people think Link cares at all if zero suit Samus is going toe to toe with Tifa. It's freaking Link, what are they gonna do have zero tunic Link?! Oh **** there is that rancher pic of him from the beginning of TP...

NoDiceCurt | Posted 11/7/2006 11:50:13 AM | message detail
He will beat Link this year, it's almost a given I think.

But assuming he doesn't, all it would take is the graphically enhanced FF7 for the PS3 to put him above and beyond Link for good.

I doubt FF7 Remake does as much for Cloud and Sephy as everyone says it will...its just appealing to people that already like the game anyways...it'll help no doubt (look at AC) but I hard think it'll be like a Ninty, Neo Zelda, or KH boost.

NoDiceCurt | Posted 11/7/2006 11:53:23 AM | message detail
I disagree. FF7 is well past its prime and right now is the biggest time for gaming in history. Making FF7 for the PS3 with enhanced graphics and a few extras that weren't in the oringinal will bring a whole slew of new people into the fold and really boost its popularity.

You don't have to trust me, but if FF7 comes out for PS3 all the FF7 characters will get a major boost (along with minor boosts for the rest of the FF chars).

I think(hope) the day vote will stay at 50/50, and that Tifa then goes on to take the night vote and win. Or Tifa could take it and make it all easier. ^_^

Why would it bring a slew of new people? It's FF and a remake at that...it appeal to FF fans...like every other FF...plus what happens if the PS3 bombs...they already have reservations about making a remake, if the system they are supporting bombs, I think no remake comes our ways until SE regroups...

Never underestimate the power of a launch title, both good and bad!

Lol @ PS3 bombing.

I've said this before but they could take a cardboard box, put some christmas lights on it, call it the PS3 and it would still sell better than any other console out there.

Anywho. I'm not Smurf, stop accusing me of it or I'll report it as harassment.

Also, I'm suspecting Samus of some serious cheating at this point. Problem is CJayC will prolly let her get away with it because he has let her get away with it before.

Looks like Tifa couldn't hold off the morning hope like I hoped. Her hopes ended there at 8 AM.

But still, good showing. And O_o at votals.

At 5 AM is was projected to get just over 140,000 and it's maintained that and has almost reached a projected 145,000.

Very nice.

Well, why would TP bring a slew of new people. I mean, Zelda is more well-known on this site than FFVII already. While a good portion of this site has not played FFVII, pratically everyone on this site has played a Zelda game. I don't see why an FFVII remake wouldn't help Cloud as much as TP helps Link.

Well, that 60 vote swing was odd. Samus' five minute total jumps 60, then immediately drops to where it was before.
