Yep, this poll doesn't give me high hopes for Cloud's chances. Link
will probably absorb most of Mario's votes (though Cloud seems like
he'll be the second most benefitted, if it's like today), but even if
he gets 100% of Snake's votes and 100% of Sephiroth's votes, that's
still just 54.08% of the vote. --- "A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own." - Solid Snake "I'll show you what true speed really is!" - Sonic |

Samus's votes were going to get to Link sooner or later. We were just
assuming that they would split between Mario and Link and Link would
absorb Mario later. --- Let the snow fall deep, the rain drive down, and the wind buffet my cloak. I care not for I've a road worth walking ~ Drizzt Do'Urden |

I'd say that Snake will go down tomorrow. Since he will be in SSBB,
there is the potential for Link to SFF him, which will cause Snake to
miss out on some votes and possibly allow Sephiroth to make it past
tomorrow. --- Luster Soldier - Popular at school. ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ |

If Snake was susceptible to being SFFed by Link, wouldn't he have been
SFFed already? How exactly is he going to miss out on votes tomorrow? --- Let the snow fall deep, the rain drive down, and the wind buffet my cloak. I care not for I've a road worth walking ~ Drizzt Do'Urden |

What the hell at Mario doing WORSE with Samus gone? Link is a damn beast...swallowing up nearly all of Samus's votes. Seems Snake got some too...and he's beating Seph?! Oh man, tommorrow's going to be pretty interesting! I also wonder if my alt bracket had Snake outlasting Mario... --- Moltar Status: 5th on the leaderboard! Go my alt!

I've always said that if you appear in something like Smash Bros.,
you're just asking for Link to SFF you. It's his fanbase -- forget just
Nintendo -- and Cloud appearing there is only going to help him against
non-Nintendo characters. He'd lose that support when he went up against
Link. Just like Kirby lost all of his support against Bowser? Don't be silly. Cloud would keep plenty of that support against Link. Even half of the support he gained from SSBB would likely be enough to beat Link. --- "Luckily, I brought my smart sword. It won't hurt anyone 'friendly'.

...No. You cannot possibly compare Bowser to Link when it comes to dominating the fanbase. Link takes away everyone's votes if they have even the slightest hint of connection to Nintendo. --- "I'll bet you my left arm that Commander Keen makes it to the next contest!" |

...But he wouldn't do that to Cloud. It's ridiculous to assume that he'd get SFF'd by anything. --- "A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own." - Solid Snake "I'll show you what true speed really is!" - Sonic |

So, what's the consensus for tommorrow? It seems that more of Mario's votes would go to Link and maybe Snake over Cloud or Seph. Oh God, Snake > Seph in the BR would kick so much ass. --- Moltar Status: 5th on the leaderboard! Go my alt! Battle Royale Day 2 - Bracket: Snake - Vote: Snake (160/200) |

No, Mario's votes go to Cloud before they go to Snake, I figure. Maybe
I'm wrong though. Actually, I hope I am. Solid Snake needs all of the
help he can get. It'd actually make the 4th day more interesting
because we'll see how close Cloud and Link are without having their
votes SFF'd off, and then we just speculate about how much Snake splits! --- "A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own." - Solid Snake "I'll show you what true speed really is!" - Sonic |

Sephiroth was projected to beat Snake today slightly at like, 10 AM. But now Snake is projected to win with less than .1%. The day was not as kind to Sephiroth today. --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

...No. You cannot possibly compare Bowser to Link when it comes to
dominating the fanbase. Link takes away everyone's votes if they have
even the slightest hint of connection to Nintendo. The only scenario in which he managed to SFF 50% of someone's strength was against Ganon. Again, I'm not arguing that Cloud's SSBB-power wouldn't be SFF'd...just not more than half of it. No, Mario's votes go to Cloud before they go to Snake, I figure. More of Samus's went to Snake than Cloud, why would Mario be different? --- "Luckily, I brought my smart sword. It won't hurt anyone 'friendly'. In fact, it makes them talk!" - Princess Zelda |

Although, not that it particularly matters, as Link is going to suck up 80% of them anyway. --- "A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own." - Solid Snake "I'll show you what true speed really is!" - Sonic |

We don't even know if any of Samus's went to Cloud's. He's doing less
than 1% better, and with Sephiroth doing worse, it could just be the
ole switcharoo. Though I think Samus and Mario will be a bit different in where their votes lies. If your favorite character is Samus, then, well, you're pretty much guaranteed to be a Nintendo fan. But Mario has iconic status, which means that Mario can be your favorite character without having such a hard-on for Nintendo. I think his votes should be spread around slightly more than Samus's. Of course, Link will probably still gobble up half of them. Probably more than half. --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

If you like Mario, you might not be as likely to be a Nintendo fan. But, if your favourite
character is Mario, then I think you've very likely to be a Nintendo
fan. Now, this isn't a pure favourites poll, but I wouldn't be
surprised if the distribution of Mario's votes tomorrow is as lopsided
in Link's favour as Samus' votes today. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

I think the answer to Mario and Sephiroth doing is worse is the smaller
vote totals today. I think fans of different characters tend to have
various levels of ignorance with GameFAQs contests...so, the fans of
Mario or Sephiroth are the most common of those who didn't bother
voting for the second day of the Battle Royale, either thinking it's
the same poll, or they just don't care to vote again, but they couldn't
resist voting in a Battle Royale match at least once. I wouldn't want
to say that Mario isn't sucking up ANY of Samus' past votes...maybe you
could even say Sephiroth and Mario were hurt equally by the lower vote
totals, and Mario actually benefited 1-2% more from Samus' votes
yesterday than Sephiroth. Also, I say part of the reason Link might be doing so much better today is that we're one day closer to the Wii launch with Zelda: TP...if you had a 6-character battle every day this week, I wouldn't be surprised if Link jumped noticeably each day. In fact, maybe it's not even the fault of the vote totals so much as it is people just getting more excited about Zelda: TP that's boosting Link so much, and seemingly hurting the other characters, come to think of it. When you think about it, factors like hype should have a much bigger impact for a character in the Battle Royale than in a normal contest match. Just a crazy theory, though... --- Antivote this petition, it sucks and would be wasting bandwidth: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

If these %'s stay the same way for tomorrow, it looks like EC's Link
> Cloud > Snake > Seph > Mario > Samus inequality might
not be so crazy after all! Oh, and for everyone thinking this is so amazing for Link... I really don't think it is. It's good no doubt, but Cloud definitely still has a very good shot at winning. I'd be surprised if Cloud didn't get 95%+ of Seph's votes, and a very significant majority of Snake's. --- Portugal. The Man Cheer Up Emo Kids |

Tomorrow's the first real mystery of the Battle Royal so far - who'll be booted, Snake or Sephiroth? It's looking like a toss-up right now, with Sephiroth probably looking a bit more likely. I hope Sephiroth stays in though. Both out of my own rooting interest, and also because Link vs. Cloud vs. Sephiroth is a much more dramatic match than Link/Cloud/Snake - the three pieces of Clinkeroth facing each other is a very interesting scenario. Sort of like the three pieces of the Triforce. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

dramatic? it'll be a slaughter no matter what happens if you ask me. I
think Snake as the third might be the most interesting possibility
(just to see how he does vs. the two heavyweights), but neither will
bring the result into question. --- zizzy |

Snake benefitting a lot from Samus's exit kind of proves that his boost
was Nintendo-related this year. With Mario out, Snake may go up even
more. On day 1, Sephy made a comeback en route to beating Snake easily. Without Samus, Sephy may BARELY squeak by Snake. Without Mario, Sephy might get killed. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever." Contest Now Playing: Disgaea 2, KH:COM (Sora), FF5A, Castlevania: LoI |

Sephiroth needs high vote totals? 2K3: Sephiroth gets 48% on Cloud. 2K4: Sephiroth merely gets 44% on Cloud with worse vote totals, and the matches against Vivi and Auron seem to verify a weaker a Sephiroth...yes, they were all SFF matches, but if you boost Sephiroth up, it means Vivi dropped the next year, so I think leaving Sephiroth alone is a better idea. Sp2K5: Unclear...Sephiroth definitely didn't look so hot, though, and vote totals were pitiful. 2K5: Sephiroth goes back up to 2K3 levels, basically. This year? Sephiroth does worse today than he did yesterday with less competition, and it looks like we'll be almost 20,000 votes short of yesterday. --- Antivote this petition, it sucks and would be wasting bandwidth: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |
