Also, picture advantage in order:

Mario > Samus > Link > Sephiroth > Snake > Cloud

Cloud just looks out of place there I guess.

Also, I understand that you guys like to extrapolate, but isn't it annoying to have to do it for every single character when you want to make a change as big as basing the stats off of a different constant character?

as far as "pic advantage" goes, Mario >> Samus > Link > Snake > Cloud > Sephiroth, I'd say.

I have a feeling SOMETHING crazy's going to happen tonight...I mean, I still say Samus is going out if you put a gun to my head, but honestly it wouldn't surprise me a bit to see Cloud go out first or something like that -- and I have the guy winning the whole thing!

Yeah, someone other than Samus/Snake going out tonight would be amazing. Does anyone in the Guru have that even happening?

Snake going out first would be more shocking to me than Mario going out...bias, I know, but from what I've seen the man thrives on these multi-option polls that appeal to a hardcore fanbase.

KamikazePotato | Posted 11/13/2006 5:51:55 PM | message detail
Snake going out first is almost impossible. He's the only character on the list that doesn't share a major fanbase with another character (discounting SSBB).

Karma Hunter | Posted 11/13/2006 5:53:42 PM | message detail
I mean, even with his SSBB support being supposedly 'siphoned', he's still scoring 47% on Samus. Cloud and Sephiroth are going to have to majorly SFF him -- relative to Link and Mario SFFing Samus no less -- for him to go out first, and I'm finding that hard to believe.

Haste_2 | Posted 11/13/2006 6:48:55 PM | message detail
I agree that every character aside from Link has SOME sort of chance of losing on Day 1, and I also agree that Mario is more likely to be kicked out first than Solid Snake...in fact, I'm kinda expecting Mario to be booted in Round 2. I think Samus is most likely to lose on the first day, of course.

Haste_2 | Posted 11/13/2006 7:01:16 PM | message detail
I think a very conservative and fair adjustment for Tidus is to measure Tidus using Kirby/Tidus 2K5 through Kirby 2K6.

24.70?? that's way too low in my eyes. I think of him as being worth about 28%. I struggle to picture Yuna at 29% and Tidus significantly below her.

Well, Tidus through MM 2006 gets him at 26.85%, which is better. But still, both Bowser and Kirby were overrated 4-5%, and Tidus was right there with them, so good chance he was overrated as well.

trannyscience | Posted 11/13/2006 7:13:00 PM | message detail
eh, I'd be skeptical of Kirby's number since it's going through another Nintendo character. he got the same percentage on a guy who's supposedly a lot stronger and Bowser looks like he might have decreased naturally this year. besides, I don't think the entire division fell like that - look at Chun Li, Ryu or Rikku.

if you ask me who wins between POP and Tidus, I'll pick Tidus every time. and I just made up a random name that I would expect to be around 25-26%.

HoorayProxies | Posted 11/13/2006 7:30:46 PM | message detail
I'm definitely making my own stats. Probably gonna use constant Luigi, adjust Zelda to her 2K5 value, give Tifa a 1.5% more than her 2K5 value and adjust Yoshi down to slightly over Dante 2K5, probably 1.5% or so. Adjust Tidus up too... that's probably gonna be it. I'm not sure exactly how it's gonna look, so that might not be what I end up sticking with, but it's looking like the favorite to me. BY the way, that pic rocks, but I hate Link & Cloud in it. Cloud looks out of place, and I really think TP Link looks fugly as hell.

Seriously... I like every other incarnation of Link far more than TP link. He looks like a little elfish freak. I mean, yeah, he is, but he looks so awkwardly skinny and pointy earred, it's freaky looking. Then again I don't really like the art style of TP at all. Far too muddy for my tastes, WW is far better.
