I'm not questioning his fanbase; I'm questioning the size of it, or, at
the very least, the size of the fanbase that's truly devoted. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

well, Bomberman > Big Boss, though you could use the whole "hardcore
fanbase" argument if you wanted. I'm not buying Big Boss being as
strong as some people are touting him though. then there's Mario, who
is just a totally different kind of character than Phoenix. yeah,
Phoenix is on a Nintendo console, but honestly I'd expect more overlap
with Magus than I would Mario. if he can do this well with Magus in the
poll (I don't think Magus sucking here is a coincidence -- what's up,
Phoenix), I think he can do well with anyone. --- "where the heck does diablo get his votes from on weekends? He should be losing because christians are fresh from the church and voting against evil" -voltch |

All I'll say is I can't wait to see his fanbase truly tested. We saw it
last year falter head-to-head against Gordon...but we know it's grown
in size since then and this format helps the PW-characters show off
their support. So...let's see it. PW's doing great today, even if he manages to lose...but this doesn't put him in a reach-for-every-vote situation like I want to see him tested with. I wanna see Miles tomorrow with Link, Agent J, and the joke-Pokemon Bidoof (Jokemon? Make it trendy people). Assuming PW advances (still a big if), I want to see Phoenix with Mario, Magus, and the suddenly-impressive Big Boss. THOSE are the tests I want to see of his fanbase. Right now I won't doubt the fanbase -- we've seen they're solid enough to lead Magus for twenty-five minutes -- but DS characters from GotY-bottom-barrel games against Nintendo-affiliated Noble Niners is an extreme test that I can't wait to see. I gotta see for myself that this fanbase is more than just talk. --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board.

Ha, then put Mario AND Magus in there...does Phoenix withstand both? Perhaps with your logic, a better question would be if Magus can withstand both..... --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board.

well, it depends of what you think of Mario. if you think Mario can get
45%+, Phoenix has a real chance there. if he gets under 40%, Magus
probably moves on. right now, I see it like this: Mario - 41% Magus - 24% Phoenix - 19% Big Boss - 16% though I think Bomberman will end up being the representative here.. I just have bad feelings about Phoenix in the daytime. come on, Crash, suck up some day votes. either way, I'm NOT doubting Phoenix's fanbase. I believe it's the most devoted fanbase we have. people aren't voting for Phoenix based on a picture or some such. this is just the perfect format for him. --- "where the heck does diablo get his votes from on weekends?

I don't want to predict what Mario gets right now -- I wanna see how
some other Noble Niners do in the second round before I delve much into
that mess. I will say that BB impressed me enough to where I don't
think he'll go down to 16%, but time'll tell on everything else. --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board. Life-changing details below: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=35717580 |

you think BB's fanbase is more devoted to him than Phoenix's? well, I
guess I can't use reasoning to dissuade you there, but I definitely
disagree. --- "where the heck does diablo get his votes from on weekends? He should be losing because christians are fresh from the church and voting against evil" -voltch |

It seems like a lock right now - 1550 vote lead already. If Phoenix can
bungle the day vote that badly, it's practically an free ticket to
doubt his fanbase. Regardless, while I might still be skeptical about
his fanbase's size, I don't doubt his most loyal fans' devotion. It
probably won't be that close in the end, but if it is, the Phoenix
hardcore will pull a Frog no problem. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Oh, I dunno about moreso...but seeing how little BB faltered to
Mario+Pac+Wander compared to how he did against Auron certainly leads
me to believe his fanbase is devout. I'm thinking most people who beat
MGS3 are going to treat BB as a sort of proxy as you-know-who. That's
no knock on PW's fanbase, but if many people have beat either version
of MGS3 then they will be another very difficult pack to sway. Throw in
CT's fanbase is considered to be solid and Magus resisted SFF against
Crono... ...next round could actually get really crazy. No promises, but it very well could. --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board. Life-changing details below: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=35717580 |

I don't think you can look at trends and determine how dedicated someone is. hell, Phoenix has the single strongest opening vote in contest history. THAT'S dedication, yo. as for Big Boss, he went up against Mario, a SFF'd to hell Pac-Man and a guy without a name. let's hold off before we call 23% or whatever he got impressive. that's a pretty pathetic fourpack outside of Mario. half of those Boss votes could have been Not Mario votes just as quickly as Phoenix's votes could be "uhhh I pick you" votes. Mario's fourpack is definitely weaker on average than this one. --- "where the heck does diablo get his votes from on weekends?

BB probably gained a bit from MGS3:S since 2k5, for what it's worth,
and it's even worth mentioning that SotC became a pretty popular game
(though I know the case with Wander and that it finished behind DQ8 in
the PS2-GotY). Not calling for anything fishy, but it does make BB look
a bit tougher for me. If I wanted to over-glorify his four-pack, I could say he nearly got a quarter of the votes against two icons and the star of SotC...and in BB's best role, you don't even find out who he is until you beat the game! I'm not going to argue like that, but after Revolver got 17% against Cloud and BB got ~28% against Auron, I am still mighty impressed by what he did. Just a thought though: we've talked about FF7 > MGS, Seph > Liquid, and even Cloud > Revolver as FF/MGS SFF...and even Solid > Sora or Solid > Squall as MGS/Square SFF. Would anybody consider potential SFF in Auron/BB? --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board. Life-changing details below: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=35717580 |

I'm impressed by what he did too, but I'm not considering him over Magus like creative seems to want to do. no way, never. Auron/Boss SFF? certainly nothing you could prove. besides, the higher you boost him, the closer he gets to Ocelot, and I don't think I've ever heard anyone argue that one. --- "where the heck does diablo get his votes from on weekends?

I actually did once upon a time. I used to argue Ocelot gets the large
majority of his love from MGS3, and that it would falter to BB since
he's the lead character and he works as a proxy as well. I don't anymore, but it'd be a fun upset I might take if the chance ever arises. --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board. Life-changing details below: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=35717580 |

If Tifa SFF'd The Boss, Vincent will too and that'll only ensure she
gets last place. It might also give Vincent a small edge against Zelda
if our new theory that needs to get a decent name is applicable. That
said...I'm still voting for The Boss. --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board. Life-changing details below: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=35717580 |

Hmmm. Well, for a while I was like "aw crap, no chance for Bomberman" Now I look at the updater and see that Phoenix got over half of his lead in the first 45 minutes, so maybe Bomberman has a good chance yet. And man, Magus... that's pretty laughable. 30 minutes PW had the lead on ya. And you're barely winning with 32%?

Yeah, Crono doesn't look to be in a good position come Round Three.
Link and Zero are both big fan-favorites that really established
themselves on the SNES, and Vincent's a really loved FF7 character who
could get 45% on Crono pre-DoC. Crono is in a very dangerous place. --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board. Life-changing details below: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=35717580 |

okay, gonna go to bed. but first, Phoenix Wright gained about 75 votes
that hour and the morning vote is coming very soon. if Phoenix gets
blitzed by it, I'd pretty much call it for Bomberman. 1000 votes really
isn't all that much to have to make up in the daytime if this goes like
one would expect it. ...if this wasn't Magus in the poll, I'd have a lot more faith in Phoenix. --- "where the heck does diablo get his votes from on weekends? He should be losing because christians are fresh from the church and voting against evil" -voltch |

I don't know if this is even logical in the slightest (damn you
hangover!) but is it possible that Phoenix is rSFF'ing Magus to an
extent? I mean I know my vote would have gone to Magus had Phoenix not
been in the poll. Magus is one of those classic cult characters but
most of the people who like him will also like Phoenix Wright games in
my opinion. I'm probably wrong but meh, worth a shot as an excuse to how bad Magus is performing. --- Character Battle: 36/44 Oracle: 33rdTeam Oracle: 19th (Partner: BZer0) |
