What, did you expect Zelos to be a bastion of strength? He was going to
be bad fodder anyway. Sure, he got killed way worse than what we were
expecting, but he's not the ToS fan favorite. Honestly, a lot of people
dislike Zelos, now that I think about it. He was one of my least
favorite characters for a long time. I can see why a lot of people
would dislike him if they don't take the time to figure out his
backstory. Plus, you don't see him for half the game anyway, and his
design isn't that appealing. Kratos getting closer to Midna than she
got to Scorpion is what I prefer to look at! --- "I'm no hero...Never was. I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work." |

I'm not. Leon's a proven character. There's no doubt behind any of his
matches, and him being the RE4 lead has given him such a seperate
fanbase from Jill that he should be able to get as far as I have him. Actually, right now the only thing I'm worried about is Balthier. If Pikachu goes as far as I have him, then it will be Leon and Balthier duking it out for second in that match. I took Leon as my safety incase my Pikachu dark horsyness doesn't pan out.

chokes hard there, I'm going to use that as an excuse to plug my Zero

I think some of you guys get so caught up in the stats that you fail to
see the bigger picture. Especially stats from 4 years ago. Remember
Kairi/Claire when people were saying "13th place in the 2k2 X-stats,
Claire is a lock"?
They failed to realize that higher votals would hurt Resident Evil
characters not from 4, and would help someone fresh out of Kingdom
Hearts 2. Same thing with Pikachu. Since 2k3, Pokemon hate has gone
down drastically. He has both a hardcore Pokemon community and
recognizability outside of his main series thanks to Smash. And of all
the characters in all his matches, higher votals would benefit him the
most. Taking him over Vivi/Teedus is a risk, but people putting Serge
over him are just being silly. We're talking the emotionless lead from
the piece of crap sequel to a great game. There's no way he comes close
to Pika 1v1, let alone with teedus in there taking all the Square votes. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Even fewer thought that Claire's ranking was legit. [Pikachu] has both a hardcore Pokemon community No, no he doesn't. The hardcore Pokemon community actively anti-votes Pikachu. recognizability outside of his main series thanks to Smash. Pikachu has never had problems with not being recognizable enough.

All but a few had expected Halo/SC to come right down to the wire; no one, anywhere, saw this one coming. A 4+ million selling PS2 Square RPG losing to a fighting game? Many gave up on KH after the early Day Vote continued to favor SC, but an improbable late-afternoon swing somehow shifted voting entirely in KH's favor, leaving analysts baffled. Guess we didn't know about the midday vote then. Actually that recap is just incorrect, Kingdom Hearts was expected to come back. I remember the only thing surprising was how slow and deliberate the comeback was; Soul Calibur was expected to collapse in the day. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Caps Lock != Cruise Control for cool. <_< You never actually stated which part you disagree with. The Tidus and Pikachu part of my post doesn't even line up with the stats. >_> And KOS-MOS close to Diablo? This year she began her downward spiral of popularity. KOS-MOS 2k6 was higher than Diablo 2k5. If she falls a bit she lands... beside Diablo. Even if she was a bit overrated in 2k6, she still not that far from Diablo. --- "Those whose memories fade seek to carve them in their hearts..." "All dreams are but another reality.

Diablo's games are alot more timeless than random flavour of the year
RPG. Like I said, just look at Vyse or the ToS crew. Their games were
basically "fad" games, like Xenosaga was. Now that the fad is over,
KOS-MOS is nowhere near where she was before. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

I don't think Bowser is going to be overly hurt by Mewtwo and Toad
tomorrow. Look at today's poll - Survival Horror is not a big genre at
this site, yet Pyramid Head and Chris together are outdoing Shadow.
They're clearly not hurt by each other's presence - that should carry
over tomorrow, especially since Nintendo is so much bigger here. I agree with this. I'm not expecting Bowser to be hurt to the degree that some folks are mentioning. It'll keep him from being clearly ahead of everyone else, but I still think he'll end up pulling first place here. --- Experiment status report update: Metroid project 'Dread' is nearing the final stages of completion. |

So lemme get this straight, you're using KOS-MOS outdoing Diablo this year as support
for her popularity going down, and Diablo being "timeless?" Give me a
break. Any SFF in Diablo/Arthas is speculation, and I don't buy it,
frankly. People are not company drones... and the only thing we know as
absolute fact is that she beat him. And Toad vs Frog would be pretty hilarious. For obvious reasons... and also because it'd have a pretty mighty day vote swing, and I think Toad makes it a lot closer than most would give him credit for. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

It's not so much that Arthas and Diablo are Blizzard characters so much
as they were the sole PC characters in the poll. You may disagree, but
there's a good enough overlap that I would take either of them to
handily beat the crap out of KOS-MOS. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Considering they are Blizzard characters based on PC multi-player games
and that many of the people in the WoW forum said they were going to
vote for Diablo instead...there's a definite overlap. I wouldn't say
SFF since we saw they were practically even, but they were almost
certainly fighting over a certain segment of GameFAQs's fanbase. --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board. Life-changing details below: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=35717580 |

You saw what Arthas and Diablo did to eachother, allowing the weaker KOS-MOS to get through. 1. I'd probably take KOS-MOS over Pikachu. 2. Tidus is further away from Pikachu than KOS-MOS was from Diablo. 3. Pikachu isn't even that strong to begin with. replace him with him with say, Ness, and I'd still have Vivi/Tidus advancing. --- Today: Auron > Shadow - Vote: Shadow Tomorrow: Bowser > Ryu - Vote: Mewtwo - Points: 20/24. |

KOS-MOS was in the female division. That alone voids any numbers on her in my mind. Her 2k5 value isn't too good. You could take her 2k4 value. She's even had two of her 3 games since then so she shouldn't be too much weaker than that. And so she lands... beside Diablo. What value do you think KOS-MOS is at then? Like I said, just look at Vyse or the ToS crew. Their games were basically "fad" games, like Xenosaga was. Now that the fad is over, KOS-MOS is nowhere near where she was before. Lloyd, Sheena and Zelos have only been in one contest match so they can't be used to determine if ToS is fading away or not. Kratos looked just fine in his match. And that Kratos scored 43% on Diablo. Last we saw of Vyse was two years of consistancy and then a bad match against Tifa. Keep in mind Skies of Arcadia came out in 2000. Xenosaga 3 was last year. KOS-MOS still has a few good years. --- "Those whose memories fade seek to carve them in their hearts..." "All dreams are but another reality. Never forget..." |
