The way I look at it is like this... Ganondorf: 40% Thrall: 25% Virgil: 20% Ratchet: 15% Something like that. Ganondorf isn't top tier, so he won't be able to totally blow them away. And Vergil is just a shadow of Dantes popularity. What Arthas has shown today is that Warcraft characters aren't a joke, and they will be able to rally behind Thrall to get him to advance. Vergil doesn't really have much of a fanbase except for people that are like "lol, he looks badass, i'll vote for him" |

You give me a reason to believe that Vergil "doesn't have a real fanbase" and maybe I'll go along with that. And Vergil hardly
looked badass against Sephiroth. You could hardly even see the guy to
begin with because the picture was so bad and he wasn't in the form
most of his fans love him for. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

Or hell, you give me a reason to believe that Ganondorf is only going to manage 40%, too. Yoshi almost did it against much stronger competition. Ganondorf to only get 40% in that match seems pretty ridiculous. And no one likes Nelo Angelo more than Vergil!

There's a huge problem with your Sephiroth analogy. Sephiroth may be
popular, yes, but not everyone likes him. A lot of those votes were
surely antivotes, or at the very least, people who don't care all that
much about Vergil. --- FFXII NLB - finished - 39 marks FFXII LLIENANMiNDM - Bhujerba (post-Ba'Gamnan) |

I don't think people were anti-voting Sephiroth until the later rounds
when the leaderboard was entirely composed of Sephiroth. He decimated
everyone (particularly Liquid Snake) who wasn't Ganondorf or Bowser too
effectively for me to believe otherwise. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

Umm... Sephiroth's going to get some anti-votes in any match, villain's
contest or not. Perhaps he didn't get anymore than usual, but all
that's saying is that Vergil's value is legit, which is still not
nearly enough to beat Arthas today. --- FFXII NLB - finished - 39 marks FFXII LLIENANMiNDM - Bhujerba (post-Ba'Gamnan) |

And I can't say I agree with this topic abandoning Vergil. 21% on
Sephiroth essentially guarantees he'll get at least that in the
Ganondorf/Thrall/Ratchet (since you've gotta figure Sephiroth could
beat that easily in a 3v1 match) four pack. Not if you think that a good chunk of that 21% were "Not Sephiroth" votes, looking at how weird Seph was in the Villains Contest against Ganon and Bowser (Liquid Snake be damned). I'm certainly not locking in Vergil to that amount. I acknowledge that he got that against Sephiroth. I just don't put that much faith into that result holding up. --- Currently playing: Call of Duty 2, Maverick Hunter X, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Dead Rising, Tomb Raider Legend |

Even if Vergil is every ounce as strong as he showed against Sephiroth
and then some, he wouldn't beat Arthas. That point seems indisputable
to me, beyond doubt. The question is how close Thrall is to Arthas. --- delicious cats Commit it to memory. |

Fair enough. I take it as a given that he's at least close, though, and Vergil isn't even that. --- FFXII NLB - finished - 39 marks FFXII LLIENANMiNDM - Bhujerba (post-Ba'Gamnan) |

I don't see that as indisputable. Why is that unarguable? Because he's
beating Diablo who is clearly superior to Vergil in strength? Diablo is
also superior to KOS-MOS in strength 1v1. I mean, I'd hate to be a buzz killer for Arthas here, but it's 16%. Yeah, it's impressive to me, but only because I assumed Arthas would be total crap. Arthas could still be high level fodder and I wouldn't be too surprised. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

Never once have I seen a "double." The concept scares and frightens me. Oh, I think you're picturing it wrong. It's not a "single" cube with 2 people crammed up into it. It's a space that's the size of 2 cubes (2 large cubes, since mine is apparently wheelchair accessible!), with a common entrance in the middle. She has tons of space on her side, I have tons of space on my side. I've seen it before in other places... I thought it was normal. It certainly beats a multi-cube with 5 people sitting in it with nothing but their computer on the desk in front of them! --- Currently playing: Call of Duty 2, Maverick Hunter X, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Dead Rising, Tomb Raider Legend |

Considering the quality of the competition (we already know Diablo's a decent midcarder with *nothing* to fear from Vergil), it's quite impressive. --- delicious cats Commit it to memory. |

I still don't see how. He could be getting this exact percent or just
slightly higher in a 1vs1 match. I could be wrong, but so could you.

don't have a clear picture of him. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site. We're not going to strip out the soul of the site. -CJayC |

Diablo's issue here is fanbase loyalty. No doubt in my mind Mega Man is
stealing his votes. Everyone loved to bring up the post villains
contest poll, have we forgotten it now? Diablo in a four way poll might just be nothing to really be afraid of. KOS-MOS is pretty safely beating him here, and you can only get beat so bad by KOS-MOS before you're also considered fodder. . --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

This is kind of off on a tangent, but people always talk about the
hardcore Xenosaga fanbase that votes for KOS-MOS, but I'm not entirely
sure that's true. I always suspected that the reason KOS-MOS is more
popular than other fan-favorite RPG characters was the "OMG!! Hot robot
chick!" factor. --- Twisted Misters: 2007 World Series of Pop Culture Champions!!! |

is that Arthas is on the cover of some Warcraft game...

Has defeated multiple named characters in single combat. He's kinda important. Thrall: Lore novel set between WC2 and WC3 / WC3: RoC: Playable in Prologue and Part 3 / WC3: TFT: NPC in Bonus Part 4 / Quest giver/boss NPC in WoW Lore: Leader of the Horde, one of the largest WC organizations and a playable WoW faction.

Change of subject. Who gets the lowest total votes/lowest total percentage, and what will it be? Same, but for highest. Obviously, Link is the safe choice for highest because he's so damn powerful and there's practically nothing in his 4 pack which has any kind of strength. The only flaw there is Bidoof possibly stealing some of Link's votes (that notion makes me lol, though).
