Yeah, I'm a joke account because I don't think Pikachu is strong. I

Here's a theory. Most gradeschool kids live by their schools and walk
home, thus are home earlier than most high school kids. That's what the
"pre-ASV" is TuRtLe ~~~ 48/60 in the contest. Next pick: Zero > Jak BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Go ahead. Chances are you'll be enjoying that all to yourself. And the joke account line is not that, it's because you use the term "SFF" as if you know what it means. It means "Same Fanbase Factor". How could a Pokemon and the hero of Star Fox, both Nintendo series, not share any overlap? --- http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/2931/ivotededgeworthck7.png |

1. Metroid didn't SFF Pokemon 2. Bowser didn't SFF Mewtwo 3. Link didn't SFF Bidoof Pokemon does not get SFFed, espeically by third-rate series like Star Fox --- Fc: 4768 3939 5325 |

I think Bowser's fourpack was enough evidence that Pokemon is very much
considered a Nintendo franchise. Unless you think Ryu is at Link's
level. Ryu > Cloud confirmed! TuRtLe ~~~ 48/60 in the contest. Next pick: Zero > Jak BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Link didn't "SFF" Bidoof because Bidoof had a popular rally and support as the best "Not Link" option. Bowser didn't SFF Mewtwo in the traditional Link/Ganon sense, but the two clearly split a fanbase, much like Kirby/Bowser. Metroid didn't SFF Pokemon because Metroid can't SFF anything.

OK, I don't want to say anything here, but wouldn't Pikachu be more likely to SFF Fox? His series is more popular, he's the mascot, it rSFF'd METROID, and Pika was in the picture... I have Isaac in second, but I don't think it's at all likely. It's a possible sexy upset pick. However, we can all agree: Serge is coming last. --- He was stuck by lightning and became insane.don't mind him.-hiei on me. Sound advice. |

1. Metroid didn't SFF Pokemon 2. Bowser didn't SFF Mewtwo 3. Link didn't SFF Bidoof Hay guys there is no way that two Nintendo characters/series could ever both be liked by a voter, forcing him/her to choose one. And we know why Bidoof wasn't run into the ground, Edgeworth/Agent J suck and 4chan stuffed for him. As for Mewtwo, him and Toad's presence leeched Bowser's votes and brought him into 2nd. And you have no way to prove Pokemon/Metroid wasn't SFF. Just because it's not Link vs Ganon doesn't mean it's not SFF. And as said earlier, two Nintendo series...you don't think someone will like both and have to choose? (Hey I had to do that!) --- http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/2931/ivotededgeworthck7.png |

Serge will come in last. Heads up I would probably take him over Isaac,
but Teedus is in that poll. Then again, Pikachu might SFF Isaac, but
that doesn't seem right to me. TuRtLe ~~~ 48/60 in the contest. Next pick: Zero > Jak BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

His series is more popular, he's the mascot, it rSFF'd METROID, and Pika was in the picture... almost anything resists Metroid. and honestly, yes Pokemon is more popular, but you have to consider that it's Pikachu. Pikachu itself isn't as liked as Fox directly OR indirectly. you HONESTLY think Pikachu would get 45% in that poll? he wouldn't even get more than what Falcon got, probably. --- Today: Zero > HK-47 - Vote: Zero Tomorrow: Luigi > Mudkip - Vote: Luigi - Points: 50/60 |

After seeing how Tidus did against Squall, banking on him being on the good end of any SFF seems kinda far-fetched to me. --- Raiden, Kirby, my stat analyses and my own face all suck horribly. Note to everyone on Board 8: XIII_rocks never loses sig bets. |

Zero avoided SFF on Mega Man. In SFF matches, perference usually comes down to character design/likability. Chrono/Vincent an obvious SFF match, going by the low votals, but both have popular characters designs thus the split was pretty even. As for Link/Ganon and Mario/Bowser, that was probably a case of the hero > the villain, though that doesn't explain why Sephiroth can hang with Cloud. TuRtLe ~~~ 48/60 in the contest.

though that doesn't explain why Sephiroth can hang with Cloud. Seph's a very popular villain.

True that Sephy has his own legion of fanboys. Perhaps that's what Ganon/Bowser lacked to put them over their leads. TuRtLe ~~~ 48/60 in the contest. Next pick: Zero > Jak BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Though this brings up an oddity with Mega Man/Yoshi. Yoshi is usually
on the positive end of SFF due to his character design. Maybe that
match was more about picture advantage than anything else. Mega Man
seems to always overperform when he's blasting the crap out of
something. TuRtLe ~~~ 48/60 in the contest. Next pick: Zero > Jak BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

I would not call a large SFF advantage entirely due to "OMFG HE'S
SHOOTING HIS FOE I MUST VOTE". It's probably because he gets the
support of the Nintendo fanbase for starting on the NES, as well as
having plenty of GBA/DS games. --- http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/2931/ivotededgeworthck7.png |

It's interesting... in the second half of the hour before the after school vote, Lloyd gained. In the second half of the hour during the after school vote, Lloyd is stalling. It'd be funny (in a horrible but interesting way) if he got crushed from 4pm ET to 4:30pm ET and then stalled from 4:30pm ET to 5:00pm ET. --- Raiden, Kirby, my stat analyses and my own face all suck horribly.

No I get that, I'm just trying to rationalize why Link/Ganon and
Mario/Bowser's hero/villain relationship is so different than
Cloud/Sephy It has everything to do with the fact that FFVII has a story.

Yet Luigi is just as old as Mega Man, and has almost as many games on Nintendo consoles, and he lost to Yoshi.

I think my little theory up the page a bit might explain some of these wonky ASV's we've seen. You'd expect HK to be more popular with the highschool kids, but Jak and Lloyd to be more popular with the elementary kids. If so, expect Lloyd to drop between 4-4:30 and stall again leading up to 5:00 TuRtLe ~~~ 48/60 in the contest. Next pick: Zero > Jak BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Elementary kids get out later than high
school kids, at least where I'm from. If I had to pick, though, I'd say
that it's the people in high school who go on to gamefaqs first thing
when they get home, who would probably vote similarly to people who
stay up for the start of the poll. --- Now in portable form! |

You can validly argue that patterns change at certain times in the asv. Trying to argue it has to due with elementary/high school differences in when they get out makes no sense at all though.
