Notable Observations: All characters on the list have at least made a 3rd round(won 2 matches in a single contest) on this list. If this eliminated weak brackets (2k2, SpC2k5, Female side of SC2k6), the list would look like this: Bowser: 2-1-3-1 (7) Squall 2-2-2-1 (7) Yoshi 1-2-2-2 (7) Sora 0-2-2-2 (6) Auron 1-2-1-2 (6) Moves up in position.

Bowser: X-2-1-3-3-1 (10) Dante 1-1-2-X-1-1(6) Ryu 1-2-1-X-1-1 (6) Tifa Lockheart is the only character to make the list in only 2 contests. Tifa X-X-X-X-2-3 (5) Only Aeris has had 3 years between contest entries, yet still made this list. Aeris 2-2-X-X-X-2 (6) Only Zelda and Aeris have had 2 years between contest entries, yet still made this list. Zelda X-1-X-X-1-4 (6) Aeris 2-2-X-X-X-2 (6) Only Ganondorf has made a contest final, but Zelda has also made a 5th round. Ganondorf: X-1-1-4-2-0 (8) Zelda X-1-X-X-1-4 (6) Only Bowser has made the 4th round more than once. Bowser: X-2-1-3-3-1 (10) 5 Characters have made the 3rd round thrice.

Let's see. On day 1, Seph went up .9 from here. On day 2, he went up .37 On day 1, Snake went down 1.12 from here. On day 2 he went down .9 I guess that would mean Seph's best case scenario is probably losing only by .5% Worst case would be losing by about 1.2% Well either way he loses... --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

lol at joke characters (CATS and GFNW). CATS appeared this year too. And Sephiroth is doing the comeback slowly but surely, taking Link and Snake's portions. This shows that FF Fanboys are late voters (from morning). --- Croc+Chocobo=Crocobo Claude+Rena=Claude Rena |

Snake is Links puppet. First he SFFs Samus and Mario so they go out and
Snake remains in, then Link gives Snake part of their votes to help him
knock out Sephiroth. Once Sephiroth is gone, Cloud will boost up but
still stay behind Link by a good amount, while Snake surprisingly gets
a decent amount of votes before going out. Finally, we all find out
that roughly half of Snakes votes went to Link and Link proceeds to
kick Clouds ass. : D --- Can't think of a good sig. |

Haven't been around, but I have to say that the battle royal results
have went as I expected them to. As I said before, this is a glorified
favorites poll. I said long ago that Snake would do VERY well if he
made the battle royal. I don't know what all the fuss was about him
being SFF'd by Cloud and Sephiroth. It should have been obvious that
Snake is a heavy
favorite among those that like him. Unlike someone like Mario who gets
a lot of his votes from being generally liked, Snake has HARDCORE fans
(as seen in this very topic!!), so even if he shares some fanbase with the FF crew, it definitely didn't mean that he gets SFF'd by them. Had I taken Snake to win the male bracket, I definitely would have taken him to get past Samus and Mario, although I wouldn't think that Sephiroth would tank like this (lol ExTha Sephiroth > Cloud!). --- Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Devil May Cry, Mega Man ZX |

Right now, Solid Snake leads Sephiroth by 773 votes. At this same time
yesterday, he led by 466 votes and lost by 162 votes, a swing of 628
votes. If the same thing happens, Solid Snake would win with 145 votes.
Of course, there's one less character to siphon votes away, so whether
that helps Sephiroth make a comeback or not, who knows? All I know is that it would be awesome if, even only due to the format, we could say Solid Snake beat Sephiroth in a Character Battle poll. I wonder if he'd get 20% tomorrow without Sephy. Probably not. Battle Royale Day 1 at 8:30 - 49825 Battle Royale Day 2 at 8:30 - 42059 Battle Royale Day 3 at 8:30 - 39840 Not quite as big of a dropoff as from day 1 to day 2, but a dropoff nonetheless. --- "A strong man doesn't need to read the future.

Oh, and for those wondering about exactly how much of Sephiroth's votes
will go to Cloud, last year Sephiroth got 94.74% of them against Link.
If that were to hold up, Cloud would have 39.40% right now. That still
puts him behind Link and doesn't account for where the other 5% goes,
naturally. It's only a rough estimate 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 |

I never realized how divided these fanbases really were. Cloud and Seph
literally not benefitting at all from Mario and Samus's votes, with
Link getting between 70 and 80% of it. And Seph likely giving over 80%
of his votes to Cloud tomorrow. Sheesh --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

????? What is that poll. They both faced Link last year.

Why is everyone so surprised about Link beating out Cloud+Sephiroth
right now? With Snake in the poll I would certainly hope he could
outdraw them, otherwise I'd be real worried about his chances against
Cloud in the final. Amen... the amount of orgasming out of the Link squad is getting a little ridiculous. Hitting 60% has a better chance of happening than losing? If Link wasn't winning right now combining Cloud/Seph's votes, It'd be a damn near lock for Cloud to win it. There's no reason Cloud shouldn't get a lot more than 50% of Snake's votes.

I wish there was some way of knowing how many voters check the results
of the day's poll before casting their votes, because it seems like
that could have a major impact on a battle royale style poll. I would
think that there must be a fair number of voters throwing support to
either Snake or Sephiroth today simply because they're in danger of
going out...then again, if that line of thinking holds true, then Mario
should have been able to pick up more Nintendo backing yesterday than
he actually did, unless he simply wasn't close enough to surviving for
people to bother with it. --- ALL YOUR VOTES ARE BELONG TO Z1mZum FOR ROCKING THE GURU WORLD |

There's no reason Cloud shouldn't get a lot more than 50% of Snake's votes. About 25% of Snake's votes are coming from former Mario and Samus voters. Almost all of those will go to Link. The fact that Snake is boosting from Nintendo characters leaving suggests that a fair chunk of his votes might go back out to Nintendo. --- "Those whose memories fade seek to carve them in their hearts..."

Meh, just because the Nintendo votes went to Snake doesn't mean they
automatically go to Link afterwards. That might imply that they're
still just as likely to go to Cloud since they didn't automatically
defer to Link. --- Solid Snake's Road to the Character Battle V Championship Battle Royale Day 3: Sephiroth |

That mock bracket of charmander's is nice, but there's some things that
just don't look right to me. Toss out the pre-FF7 characters, we don't
need 'em anymore. I doubt we're going to see characters like Aeris
& Rikku comeback, too many other characters in their game/series to
jump over, especially
if you're bringing back Clinkeroth. (Plus Aeris' poor showing pretty
much ended her contest career in my eyes) And seeing characters like
Chief & Sora seeded so low just doesn't compute for me. --- *Go play Tales of the Abyss* |
