Look at what Riku did to Yoshi. Never underestimate the power of the KH day vote.

Riku is trying so hard to lose an update to Roxas.

Riku went up 2% against Yoshi from this point to the end of the match. That's impressive, but I doubt he does much more than that here - Ryu H swung about as much as Yoshi did against Danta - and I somehow doubt Roxas swings enough to push Ryu under 42%. Especially since I doubt Haseo has a decent day vote.

L-Block dropped about 4.5% from 3:00 AM until the end of the match, and not only was L-Blocked very front-loaded but Tetris's day-vote suuuucked in the Game Contest...not to mention that Kirby's no day-vote slouch, himself. At 3:00 AM, Hayabusa currently has 45.87%. Hayabusa has shown to have a decent day-vote before by overcoming Jill (twice) with the ASV, plus he rose about .5%/.8% against Dante/Zero from 3:00 AM until the end of the match...he's not bad with it. It's not doubted that Riku and Roxas will rise a LOT tomorrow, but Hayabusa has a fighting chance of staying above 42% if he's at 45.87% right now, especially with the 360's added presence here this year.

I look at it more like the Riku/Roxas combo will best represent the KH-vote rather than giving both Riku and Roxas the KH-vote. I don't see a change THAT big coming...that'd be ****ing creepy contest-wise.

Oh, plus -- as mentioned -- Riku dropped Yoshi 2% from 3:00 AM to the end of the match. Hell, Riku dropped Frog 5.5%. Do you want to say Hayabusa's day-vote is more comparable to Yoshi's or Frog's?

Wait...2k5 polls started at 3:00 AM, right? Make the Zero/Hayabusa and Frog/Riku examples from 6:00 AM to the end of the match then if that's what it is.

The results look like they will hold. The only major change will be Haseo looking horribly in comparison after Riku and Roxas benefit from the KH day-vote.

Wow Ryu. Just wow. Beating Riku and Roxas combined? And Roxas is holding up relatively well here, I would say. But damn Ryu.

I would be damn surprised if Yuffie was stronger than Red XIII. I doubt KHF does diddly for her. Does she ever join your party? Anyway, she doesn't seem like the type to have real strength.

She does join your party, and she's one of the better fighters. Definitely better than Tifa, Vincent, Cait Sith, and Barret from what I remember.

Anyway, I'd expect her to be stronger than Barret. But if she couldn't make the female bracket last year, I doubt we'll ever see her, so it's kind of irrelevant.

well, there's two, no, three.. no, four ways to look at it:

Personally I'm thinking Riku was overrated. He was darn close to Sora in the stats... remember when we thought Magus was close to Crono? We thought Zero was pretty close to Mega Man too, then they went and lost to Knuckles and Luigi. Ryu Hayabusa is Riku's Knuckles.

Anyway, last year Riku lost to Yoshi, who performed suspiciously close to Sonic and Mega Man against Snake. The year before that, Riku was close to Sora, but Sora got pic factor'd/sff'd by Snake. So I think there's plenty of reason to believe he was never as close to Sora as he looked.

Yuffie doesn't join your party in KH, the only FF character that does is Auron.
YoAriel33 | Posted 9/30/2007 1:46:07 AM | message detail
Auron and Riku are the only non-Disney characters to join your party.

Also, FYI: Ariel was the best world-specific party member in either game.

Frailiel maybe? Of course she totally wasn't because IIRC her defense stat was impressive. Seriously, she was the most useful world-specific character. She had pretty much all of Donald's magic with superior attack and defense. Made the damn octopus duck completely useless.

speaking purely from an x-stat perspective, 45% on Yoshi is no joke. how low do you want to bring Yoshi down? I mean, he *did* beat Dante. if Riku's overrated by *that* much, you'd expect Yoshi and Dante to be, too. I agree that Yoshi is overrated, but not by a ton. just a couple of points. Riku was still clearly above any Hayabusa we'd seen.

this said, we used the same argument for Magus. "overperformed on Link? sure, maybe, but he beat Ganondorf."

Well, I'd tossed the idea of Dante/Hayabusa SFF around as well. It's possible that Ryu Hayabusa has been constantly on the rise and was stronger than he looked last year.

Also possible that Dante getting pics from a game that doesn't exist weakens him. Yeah, you heard me. Maybe Dante should've beaten Yoshi last year!

I'm thinking that Ryu is overperforming cause the line up is just so damn boring. Three "kiddie RPG" characters and one identity free ninja. I even voted Haseo, not because I like him cause I've never seen him before, but because he was in last place (poor guy). I'm suspecting I'm not the only one that doesn't care, however most of the time in those situations the ninja will get the vote cause... Well... After all, he's a ninja and popular opinion is that ninjas kick ass...
