still think Link will break 80% with ease just because he's facing much weaker competition than Cloud and Seph, and he SFFs all of it, in theory.

He wouldn't 90% Edgeworth, I know that much. I'm not sure whether he'd 85% him, tbh.

80% is pushing it for me. 70% I think is doable (only because I really can't see Agent J garnering over 10%).

Hey, you never know. I could be wrong, Link could get 90% and make everyone else in this contest looks like complete crap!

the 70s range sounds more realistic. 80% tops.

Well, I think Link could manage as low as 88% on any of these three guys in singles matches and still manage 85% against the three of them. I'd think most of their "strength" in matches against Link would be anti-vote fueled.

Edgeworth is the one that's making me worry. Agent J I can see obtaining the lowest % in the contest so far (Elite Beat Agents does horribly on polls), and Bidoof well... I don't think most people get the joke like B8 does. Edgeworth might have a more resilient fanbase.

I really have no faith in Bidoof. He's not a fad anywhere besides B8(From what I've seen) and he's not even a likable pokemon. At least Mudkip could have some fans for being a starter, Bidoof just looks stupid and sucks which is the point of the fad about him.

Elite Beat Agents does horribly on polls

Maybe we have different views on what's horrible and not, but in the fairly recent "Favorite Rhythm Series" and "Best DS Game of 2006", EBA surpassed my expectations, getting somewhere around 8% in both bolls. Wouldn't be surprised to see J end up with a similar 8% here.

About Bidoof, people weren't "in" on the whole Nidoran F thing, and she still managed 20% on Samus.

I can't see Link going over 75% in that match.

And Cloud and Sephy did just fine in their matches. Although I have to say Samus and Mega Man looked more impressive by comparison.

That was my reasoning. PW might be a DS game, but it seems...removed from the DS fanbase somehow. It seems to do its own thing more. Plus it's cult and has a hard core of fans that LOVE Edgeworth (even more than Phoenix).

People don't even LIKE Bidoof outside of B8. Edgeworth is probably only a couple percent below Phoenix in the stats.

About Bidoof, people weren't "in" on the whole Nidoran F thing, and she still managed 20% on Samus.

Nidoran F was from the RBY era and is actually likable. I doubt anyone hates her but almost every Pokemon player I know outside of B8 hates Bidoofs stupid guts.

Yeah, for some reason I think Edgeworth would overpreform on Pheonix if they ever had a 1v1 match. Not that Edgey would actually win, but I don't think I've seen very many people that have played any PW game that like Pheonix more than Edgeworth.

Huh... I thought Elite Beat Agents had like... 2% in the polls it's been in. Hmmm.

Link - 85.01%
Edgeworth - 7.49%
Agent J - 4.50%
Bidoof - 3%

GO LINK...!!

Assuming we have a pool of 100,000 GameFAQs voters, how many do you think would have played a PW game? I'm willing to say far, far less than half. Even if the majority of those people prefer Edgeworth, Phoenix would get an overwhelming majority of votes from people who've actually heard of him and not his opponent. I think Miles would get creamed.

Again, I don't think Edgeworth would come close to winning or anything, but at the very least I see him avoiding a doubling.

I would LOVE it if that came down to the final update XD

It'd be like those topics where the match it really close and everybody is posting like crazy only it would just be me and Lopen.

"OMG OMG LINK GAINED IN PERCENT! LOOK OUT XIII!"
"PAH! HE NEEDS .06% IN THIS UPDATE FOR YOU TO WIN! NO CHANCE!!"

Reading the last page, I think a number of you are underestimating just how ridiculously strong Link is. This is a guy who put up nearly 45% in a poll with Cloud, Snake, and Sephiroth. Think about that long and hard, then compare them to the combined powers of Bidoof, Agent J (who), and Edgeworth. 80% is most certainly within his grasp -- he's the only one on this site who could do it, too.

On another note, it looks like Meta Knight's got this one all wrapped up. Nice to see him advancing here.

Looks like Sephiroth is having some trouble increasing his percentage here, too. He hasn't quite been able to get up to 55% yet. beware of the plumberz

I was expecting more from Sephiroth (in large part due to expecting much less from Meta Knight), but this still ain't bad. Replace CATS with Zolom, and Seph is probably pushing 58%.

Best case scenario, this is par for the course all things considered. Worst case, it's a rather poor performance. Either way, I'm pretty pleased with it, just because he didn't come out and impress. Of course, it doesn't mean a whole lot -- it's all based on expectations and comparisons to other Noble Nine matches we've seen -- and Mario still has yet to perform, but the match certainly isn't dashing hopes if you're one of the folks with the Mario upset, I don't think.

Anyone mind explaining to me why people picked Bidoof in that match? I mean, come on.

Because Agent J has last place secured by a mile... and I love me some EBA, and not that many people have played PW. PW is weak enough as it is, and that's with the whole fad adding to his recognition. Edgeworth? He's not getting votes if you haven't played PW, and even if you have, it's not like it's a guarantee. I'll take some random pokemon, even if he is god awful, to take that match. It's not like Nidoran F is any good. It was basically just who has a chance of getting more than 17 votes really.

Bidoof isn't going to get second. He's hated by the Pokemon fanbase and has Link there to syphon any possible support he has. Don't bring up Nidoran F. Samus can't SFF anything while Link most certainly can.

Obviously, because Zelda fans and Pokemon fans are the exact same group of people and they all like Zelda better. Not like the games are totally different or anything and are on their main games are on separate consoles, no, no, not at all.
