A theory on CT/"hardcore" fanbases and this format: I think it'd be fair to say that the average Magus voter today has a greater chance of also liking one or more of the other characters, than the average Mario voter. (And there'd probably be an even higher chance of a PW voter liking at least one of the other 3 characters also.) There's probably a substantial number of Mario voters who do not know who the other 3 are. Characters with "hardcore" fanbases, however, typically have fans who have played more games on average, and like more characters- and hence have a greater chance in this format of liking another character in the poll better. Characters who do the best are those who have very little overlap with others- CT probably has loads of overlap with a lot of games, as if you've only played a few games, you probably haven't played CT. --- Character Battle VI -- Points: 107/160 -- T-1870 (257 way) Bracket: Sephiroth > Fox -- Vote: Sephiroth |

Zelda's best hope here of not getting annhilated, other than the
picture, is the "this format already reduces you to your core fanbase"
theory, for instance Mega Man/Yoshi. However Zelda will obviously be suffering vastly more SFF than Yoshi, and also, this theory didn't help Pac-Man against Mario. Zelda breaking 15% would almost be a miracle performance by her here. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Eh, I'm quite well aware that just about everyone shares a fanbase with
Mario. But I do think Mario has a much larger "exclusive" fanbase than
a lot of "hardcore" characters who were supposed to do well in this
format. That is, there are very few fans of Magus who are not fans of
Mario, but many fans of Mario who are not fans of Magus, and indeed
many Mario fans who are not fans of Big Boss or Phoenix either- even if
most Big Boss/Phoenix fans also like Mario. Adding more characters
hurts Magus/Big Boss/Phoenix more than Mario in this case because their
fans are more likely to change their vote to one of the new characters,
while a good deal of Mario's fanbase knows of or likes a much smaller
group of characters. --- Character Battle VI -- Points: 107/160 -- T-1870 (257 way) Bracket: Sephiroth > Fox -- Vote: Sephiroth |

Division 4: Round 2 - Match 39 – Link vs. Bidoof vs. Vincent Valentine vs. Zelda Moltar’s Analysis Link Round 1 – 70.50% vs. Bidoof, Miles and Agent J Domination. Bidoof Round 1 – 15.96% vs. Link, Miles and Agent J doof doof Vincent Round 1 – 38.68% vs. Zelda, The Boss and Tails Just some optional character, huh? Zelda Round 1 – 29.88% vs. Vincent, The Boss and Tails Even the name couldn’t avoid her beating from Vincent. Previously, Link received a call from Midna alerting him about his Round 1 match in the 6th Character Battle. Link rushes to make it in time, but soon finds out his opponents came to him instead. With one swing of his sword, he wiped them out, and now continues on his journey to reach the stadium. The Setting - A long, deseted road in an empty town. Link: *looking around* Looks like I’m not in Hyrule anymore. *continues running forward* ???: Where do you think you’re going? *A figure emerges from ahead, and Link stops.* Link: I know you, you’re Vincent! Vincent: Good to see my name has spread across “The Land”. Link: What are you doing here? I need to get to my match! Vincent: I am your next opponent. Link: What?! *to himself* Vincent is a pretty strong guy, but still, I can take him. *draws sword* Vincent: I wouldn’t do that if I were you. *takes a step to the side, revealing a tied up Zelda behind him* Link: Princess! *Zelda tries to call out to him, but her mouth is covered* Vincent: You wouldn’t want to attack her, would you? Now lay down your sword and shield or else *points gun at Zelda’s head* Link: I didn’t think you would stoop so low to win. *places his sword and shield on the ground* Vincent: I wouldn’t normally, but I have orders to follow. *pulls out another gun and aims it at Link* Now, die Link! *Vincent fires a blast at Link, but just before it makes contact…* BIDOOF! *jumps in front of Link* Link: Bidoof? No! *Bidoof is hit by the blast* Vincent: What is this? *Zelda uses the distraction to use her magic and break free* Zelda: Link! Vincent: Not so fast! *Zelda tries to escape, but Vincent pistol whips her in the back of the head.* Link: ZZZZEEERRRUUUUDDDAAAA!!!!!!!!!! *Link picks up his sword and charges at Vincent. Before he can attack, Vincent disappears beneath a cloud of black and red smoke* Vincent: You win this round, but next time I’ll be ready to fight you head on (apply directly to the forehead). Link: What was that last part? Vincent, get back here! Vincent! *looks over at the Princess* Zelda: Please, look after Bidoof. I’ll be alright. *teleports off* Link: Bidoof, are you okay? Bidoof: *badly injured* Bii…Bidoof Bidoof Bii. Bidoof Bidoof Bidoof Doof. Bii Bii Bidoof Bii… Flashback Bidoof: Bidoof Bidoof Bidoof Bidoof! Bii Bii Bidoof Bidoof! ???: *evil laugh, followed by evil action* Bidoof: Biiiiiiii!!!!! *crying* Bidoof Bidoof Biiiii!!!!!! Flashback end Bidoof: Bidoof Bidoof Doof Doof. Doof Bidoof Bidoof Bii. *tear streams down cheek* Bii….Bii…*closes eyes* Link: I don’t understand the words that are coming out of your mouth! Bidoof: It’s okay…no one else does either. *faints* Link: Wait, I understood that! Bidoof! Bidoof!! *looks up towards the sky* BIDOOF!!!! *Link gets back to his feet* Link: Vincent, you will pay for this. *continues down the road* |

*Meanwhile, at a secret location* Vincent: Sorry master, I wasn’t able to defeat Link. ???: You know I do not tolerate failure, Vincent. Vincent: Yes sir. I will redeem myself though. The next time I face Link, I will get the job done. I swear it. ~*Part 2: Fin*~ So Link eats up another fourpack. Plus, thanks to Link, Zelda ends up dead last. No way she gets support when the source of her support is with her. This leads to Vincent taking an easy second. lol bidoof > zelda Moltar’s Bracket Says: Link > Vincent Moltar’s Prediction is: Link: 53% - Vincent: 28% - Bidoof: 10% - Zelda: 9% Ultimaterializer’s Analysis Studying for midterms, so I must apologize for the short writeup. Not that this match needs a long one, because Link should SFF Zelda into oblivion and Bidoof isn't strong enough to overcome Vincent for second place afterwards. Ulti's Prediction: Link [45.00%] Vincent [35.00%] Zelda [15.00%] Bidoof [5.00%] Heroic Mario’s Analysis I have been looking forward to this match for a couple of days now, ever since we saw what Cloud did against Fenix/Ocelot/Kefka. There’s probably not a whole lot we can take away from this, but it’s always good when we’re startin’ to compare Cloud and Link performances! Most people seem to be expecting Vincent to come away looking great off of this match and for Link to come away not looking so hot. I’m not sure Link has given a whole lot of reason to be doubted here, and I don’t think He Who Shall Not Be Named and Zelda are that big of detriment to him, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he came out with something like 50%+ in this match. It’d suck, mind you, but I wouldn’t be surprised! But regardless of what Link does, I’m thinking Vincent’s going to come away looking good. I think there is a certain floor for every FF7 character in this contest -- something right around 25%. We have all seen that statistic that said something like 24% of the site thinks FF7 is the best game ever or something, which is impressive to say the least. I think that 24% is the hardcore FF7 vote. I don’t think, under most normal circumstances, that you’ll ever see a FF7 character fall under that. Even when Cloud had to deal with Sephiroth stealing some of his votes, he still pulled in nearly 24% (which I don’t consider a “normal circumstance,” by the way). Now, that isn’t to say that FF7 characters only receive the hardcore vote – because that isn’t true. They get plenty of support otherwise, which is why they’re as strong as they are, but I think there’s that contingent that is going to vote the FF7 option every single time regardless of whom all is there. There’s probably not a whole lot to support that right now, but it’s what I’m thinking. So with that in mind, if Vincent’s floor is around 25%, I think he can garner enough extra support to boost him over 30% here -- although I’m being optimistic (ie., fanboy!) in all likelihood. I think that is going to speak more to Vincent’s natural strength in this format than any hindrance that He Who Shall Not Be Named and Zelda might bring to Link, although if he does I think it’ll undoubtedly be blamed on that. This match is all about Link and Vincent’s percentages. There’s a couple of matches (Vincent/Crono; Cloud/Link) that could start getting some discussion depending on how this goes, but this could also just confirm that Link is a monster and he’s got the contest locked up. Who knows what’s going to happen -- DAMMIT BIDOOF YOU GET OUT OF HERE I DO NOT BELIEVE IN YOUR MIRACLES YOU UNSEXY THING. man why did i write so much for a match that doesn’t matter -- i blame the ‘doof Link – 45% Vincent – 32% Bidoof – 13% Zelda – 10% Bracket: Link > Vincent Vote: Vincent |

Yoblazer’s Analysis Once again, I'll have to endure the bittersweet feeling of my favorite character ever sharing the poll with that beaver thing I want so, so dead. And this time, sadly, matters are made worse because said beaver has an excellent chance to outperform another character I love. Welcome to the world of severe SFF in a 4way poll. Check your pwned ass at the front door. =( Despite loving Link, I probably won't enjoy this poll much. It has Bidoof, a Zelda that can realistically get SFF'D hard enough to lose to Bidoof, and a Vincent that is virtually assured to look good against Link due to the contest god sharing the poll with two other Nintendo characters. Why is Vincent bound to look good? Well, think of it like this: even if Bidoof and Zelda are so weak as to only manage a combined 20% of the poll, that 20% has an absolutely massive overlap with Link. It's a Pokemon and a Zelda character, for Pete's sake. In a 1v1 match against Vincent, Link would pick up at least 80% of the votes left behind by these two, and conceivably much more (before you call me crazy, remember that this is the guy who picked up 100% of Samus's leftover votes in the Battle Royal last year). So, what's that mean? It means Vincent might end up with a somewhat comparable percentage against Link in this 4way match as he would in a traditional match. The Cloud>Link upset alarms will be blaring louder than ever, and I'll have to shut my ears for a good 24 hours. For the love of all that is holy, Link, prove me wrong. Please! As for the epic Zelda/Bidoof battle (...), I can see it going either way. Ganondorf put up a measly 12% on Link in 2004, and I can't see Zelda outdoing or matching that in this format. Bidoof, on the other hand, put up 16% on Link last round, so he is admittedly the favorite. However, he's also up against another fan favorite in Vincent, and I have a feeling that the joke may have fizzled. He really has nothing to compete for in this round, and Phoenix's current collapse hints at that being sufficient enough to kill his support. I'll give them each crap and call it a day. Link - 50% Vincent Valentine - 30% Zelda - 10% Bidoof - 10% Lopen’s Analysis Fun match here, Link's finest hours are had when he's maiming his own. How low can he push Zelda here? Let me give you an idea of how low. I present to you, the true pic for this match! ttp://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c38/NeoX-Death/cb6-39.jpg Alright, now that the truth is out of the way here... how well will Edward Sciss-- *ahem*... Vincent do? Well I think Agent Z, as feeble as she is, will be hurting Link almost directly here. Vincent will be laughing it up, looking the best he can. Now, I suppose this match will also serve as an idiocy test for GameFAQs. I'm not joking when I say I think some people think that awesome guy in the green tunic's name is Zelda. Will it give Agent Z many votes? No, no it won't. But it'll give her ever so slightly more than she deserves, probably enough to put her just over Bidoof. And of course it'll give Link ever so less than he deserves. Of course, you can never factor out the Vincent Bidoof overlap, I mean, is there anything more natural than... Vincent: DOOF DOOF DOOF. Trust me, the rumors are not false. It happened. With his Level 0 Doofmasker Limit Break... it was... horrifying. Lopen's Prediction: Link - 55.09% Edward Scissorhands - 30.39% Agent Z - 9.31% Die, cretin! - 5.21% Karma Hunter’s Analysis Something like a breather, something new! Something borrowed, something, err... green? Brown? What the hell is with that hair Link A dominating 70% performance last round, and that might've even been misleadingly low considering that joke character Bidoof was there. ...wait. He's *still* here??? AUGH Bidoof why |

Vincent Valentine Whatever naysayers there were about Vincent Valentine not being the strongest non-Noble have been all but firmly silenced. Vincent beat the HELL out of Zelda last round to coast to an extremely comfortable victory. Being the only non-Bidoof entry here that isn't gonna get SFFed, Vincent may impress relatively today. Zelda She got dismantled last round, and she's dealing with Link now. Don't expect too much out of her... like beating Bidoof. This is so clear-cut that I'm bleeding out of my fingertips. Link > Vincent, anything else would be the biggest upset of this contest. That being said, there's a question of how well the entries will do, especially Link - how much can he SFF Zelda? Well, I'm of the opinion that it'll be a TON, and that the confusion between the names Link and Zelda will be small. Despite general thought to the contrary, I'm gonna go with Link dominating the SFF so much that he looks on par or even better than he 'should' do. And that's saying a lot. Of course, Bidoof's joke votes and the legitimately strong Vincent bring him down. Still, Link shouldn't drop below 50% like some people are calling for. (oh god) Karma Hunter's Vote: Vincent Valentine WHY DOES EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS MATCH FAIL SO HARD Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Link with 56%, Vincent Valentine with 24%, Bidoof with 11%, Zelda with 9% Upset Probability: 1% FOODIB FOODIB FOODIB Transience’s Analysis this is the only time in the foreseeable future where Link might lose a match. okay, that's hyperbole, and I guess Cloud has an itsy bitsy chance in the finals. but this match is freaking tailor-made for Vincent: three Nintendo guys, one of them sharing the same series, and one of them being named Zelda. if there is any significant number of people that confuse Zelda and Link... who knows? granted, this is next to impossible, but people are going to overreact to Vincent here. he's going to be looked at as a lock to defeat Crono after this match, and it's just not a fair comparison because Link is being held back. plus, Link will probably find it hard to bring in a big percentage when he has to deal with B... B... WHY IS THIS UGLY, STUPID, UN-FUNNY, BUCK-TOOTHED BROWN PIECE OF CRAP STILL IN MY BRACKET. I WILL CRUSH ANYBODY THAT VOTES FOR THIS MONSTROSITY. YOU ALL MAKE ME VOMIT WITH RAGE. vincent will look great people will claim cloud beats link which is bad logic transience's prediction: Link with 46.56%, Vincent with 32.53%, Zelda with 11.21%, AUGH with 9.7% Guest’s Analysis - XIII_rocks Well, this match is at least more powerful than the last one I did - Yuna/Roll(!!). However, it's unfortunate that it's virtually set in stone at this point...to be fair, few thought otherwise. The competitors...well, in one corner we have that indomnitable powerhouse, Link. He managed to pull 70% with 3 other horribly weak characters in the poll. The Zelda series has tanked pretty badly so far (especially Midna, LOL that woman); Link seems ridiculously powerful as per usual, but maybe Link's strongest incarnation would have pulled another, say, 5% in that poll. Though I doubt he could ever hit 85% haw haw Lopen Now we have two of the strongest characters outside of the Noble Nine; Vincent first. He showed his strength in 2005, then furthered it in 2006 with a stirling performance against Ganondorf and a respectable loss to Sonic. This year...so far, he's blown Zelda to pieces, while a far superior character was left to fight it out for third lol GameFAQs >_>. |

| Next, Zelda. Like Vince, she put in a good
performance last year, and with TP, was thought to give Vincent a scare
1v1. But she's tanked horribly. She failed to double Tails and The
Boss, lost by 10% to the opponent that she was supposed to be close
with and has generally been a terrific flop. Finally...Bidoof. Well, he beat Miles and qualified from a group of crap + Link. Nice one. Now, unfortunately it would appear that I was in some sort of weird, nigh-unconscious state when I created my bracket. I seriously cannot fathom some of the errors I've made thus far. Knuckles > Yoshi...>_<. One of these mistakes? Yup, Link > Zelda in this match. I could try deluding myself, but unfortunately I suck at that. Instead, I'll give it to you straight; this is clearly a Link > Vincent deal. This is the first time we've had two triforce characters in the same poll since Link/Ganon, and we all know how that turned out. CATS looked better than Ganondorf. CATS. Seriously (You know what's annoying? I wanted to capitalise CATS for emphasis and...yeah. Dammit.) Zelda won't perform as badly in relative terms as Ganon did, I don't think. Ganon and Zelda were fairly close to each other in 2k6, and I fancy Zelda to get more against Link than Ganon because she has the name base to use. It's Legend of ZELDA, not Link, remember. Bidoof is a non-factor - he'll sap a few votes for sure, but he's so astronomically far out of his league here that it'll cease to matter. Short of a huge, unprecedented 4chan rally/cheat-fest, of course. Vincent is the only character here with an entirely independent fanbase and I think he'll thrive. While Link loses some of his votes to Zelda and Bidoof just sits there talking with Luna Lovegood or whoever was in the comics with him and building dams, Vincent will do very well for himself. He looks more and more like the one to finally put an end to the Noble Nine cartel, and a good performance here will set him up nicely to knock out Crono in the division final. So, to sum up: * Vincent is apparently 10% stronger than Zelda. * Link is in the poll with her. * LOL Bidoof. * Zelda will be decimated by Vincent's strength and Link's SFF-ability. XIII_rocks' Prediction: Link > Vince > Zelda > Bidoof XIII_rocks' Percentage Prediction: Link with 51%, Vincent with 27.5%, Zelda with 13.5%, Bidoof with 7% *sigh* ...If I must...: XIII_rocks' bracket says: ...Link > Zelda augh XIII_rocks' shameless plug: Football/Soccer Stats and Discussion is awesome, and better than your face! Crew Consensus: Link > Vincent, Zelda's screwed, and augh bidoof |

Match XXXIX: Link vs Bidoof vs Vincent Valentine vs Zelda Past Matches Round 1 Link - 70.50% Bidoof - 15.96% Miles Edgeworth - 9.13% Agent J - 4.41% Vincent Valentine - 38.68% Zelda - 29.88% The Boss - 15.84% Miles “Tails” Prower - 15.60% Analysis Last round Link was able to get the highest percent of the contest, sure it didn’t hurt having the weakest competition as his opponents but still getting over 70% is very impressive. Bidoof like all other pokemon doesn’t seem to be affected by Nintendo SFF and was able the sneak second. Vincent was able to show how overrated the non-Samus division of the female half was by easily beating Zelda in a match where watching whoever got third was more interesting. This is probably the easiest match to predict in the entire round. The Battle Royal winner will take first. With impressive performances done by Cloud and Sephiroth it is now Link’s turn to show what he can do. I’m not expecting him to match Cloud and Sephiroth unless Zelda is going to look like Agent J, but falling below 50% won’t be the best thing for him unless Zelda miraculously avoids SFF. Seems like a tall order for anyone, but he was able to get 42% against Cloud, Sephiroth and Snake. Like Link Vincent will take second with ease. With Zelda getting SFF and Bidoof not being anywhere near the strength of Vincent the only thing he’s worried enough is if he can impress enough against Link to have a chance against Crono next round. Link will probably look weaker in this match because of Zelda, but if Vincent gets anywhere near 30% and if Crono doesn’t impress in the next match I think it’s safe to say that Vincent may be the favorite going in the match. One only needs to look at Ganondorf to see the power of Link SFF against Zelda characters. I don’t think Zelda will suffer from as much SFF in this match, but Zelda will probably have a close match against Bidoof in the fight for third. After getting a free pass to the semi-finals it looks like the bracket wasn’t kind to Zelda this year. So far in this contest we have seen three matches that had a pokemon and a Nintendo character and in all three of them it looks like there was little to no SFF. Since Pokemon are mostly popular on handhelds it seems like the fanbases are diverse enough to avoid any kind of major SFF and because of this I could see Bidoof doing better than Zelda in this match. It may be sad if you’re a Zelda fan, but expect a few laughs on the board if Bidoof ever gets the lead over Zelda. The top two characters in this match both have something to prove in this match; for Link it’s to prove that he still is the favorite to win and for Vincent to prove that he has what it takes to be able to break the Noble Nine once and for all. charmander6000’s Bracket: Link > Vincent Valentine charmander6000’s Prediction: Link - 54.27%, Vincent - 24.07%, Bidoof - 12.13%, Zelda - 9.53% --- The Board 8 BOP - http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB6%20BOP.xls Match 38: Mario > Magus Points: 117/168 |

Round 2- Division 4 Semifinal A Previous Matches: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2875 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2876 Characters Involved: Link The undisputed master of these contests is about to have one of his most underwhelming performances of all time. Bidoof Joke entrant or not, Bidoof should have a good chunk of joke votes. Vincent An impressive performance from the strongest non-Noble Niner last round, he's primed to look like a lock to beat Crono after today given the Nintendo SFF and failings of Frog and Magus Zelda Zelda gets to suffer an epic SFF thrashing. Predictions: A very obvious match from which we can draw nothing, even with 2 Nintendo characters in the poll (one being the character that Link's series is named after), Vincent isn't anywhere near strong enough to take advantage of this incredibly lopsided SFF split. Nonetheless, as shown in other matches, SFF tends to make unaffected characters look amazing by comparison. This match is guarenteed to start the Cloud > Link and Vincent > Crono bandwagons going full steam. As for percentage, like I said, the SFF in this match will make Vincent look way stronger than he actually is. Bidoof is guarenteed his joke vote support, and Zelda is guaranteed to have an epic battle for third place due to Link/Zelda SFF. TuRtLe's Prediction: Link 44%, Vincent 38%, Bidoof 10%, Zelda 8% TuRtLe's Bracket: Link > Vincent TuRtLe's Vote: Link TuRtLe ~~~ 129/168 in the contest. Next pick: Mario > Magus BlAcK TuRtLe.

I almost wonder if I should bother, with this match. But what the hell. paraboxx' Worthless Writeups: Link / Bidoof / Vincent / Zelda Link - Depressingly impressive last round. Probably will be here too, what with Zelda and all. Here's hoping one of the upsets pays off later, because it sure won't today. Bidoof - ...ugh. Vincent - Also impressive. Also kind of depressing, since perhaps our biggest hope of "breaking the Noble Nine" is yet another FF7 character...but hey, I'll take it. Zelda - Poor Zelda. Poor, poor Zelda. (Not to mention poor Females Bracket. Oy.) Analysis: Not much to say that hasn't already been said, I'm sure. Vincent's sure to look good, being the only anti-Nintendo (and practically the only anti-Zelda) choice of the match. After seeing what Link did to Ganondorf, I'm pegging Bidoof to beat out Zelda here...but I'm not going to like it. Prediction - Link 54%, Vincent 26%, Bidoof 12%, Zelda 8% |

Seriously if it's Link 44%, Vincent 38% I'll personally pick up a Cloud>Link banner, SFF be damned. --- Should I start running now? |

If Vincent gets 38% in this match, Crono is going to get his face rocked. --- let's mosey |

Good grief. When I read smitelf's comment I went back and checked, and...there are a lot of predictions to choose from. And about half of them are tiny variants of mine. ...why did I post mine again? |

I don't think Vincent will really get 38%, but he'll do better than most of the analysis crew are predicting, IMO. --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe! Political Compass: -0.38, -4.21 |
