Uh, why are people downplaying Link's domination. The only reason
Link doesn't look as impressive is because of Bidoof. His real test
comes next round with Crono, Vincent and Zero. The only reason Link didn't look impressive in 2003, was because Cloud and Sephiroth were there. If you want to be the champ, there should be no if's or but's. You should maul anything and everything in front of you. --- President Of Board 8.

But he is dominating everything. By the
end of the match, Link is going to be projected to nearly double
Vincent. How is this underperforming again? --- Currently Playing: Wild Arms 3, Persona 3 |

Link should be doubling Crono and Mega Man with ease. Not struggling to do so on Vincent. First off, 2006 Link would barely double those characters in one-on-one matches. Secondly, guess who's in the same area as Crono and Mega Man. --- Currently Playing: Wild Arms 3, Persona 3 |

Link should be doubling Crono and Mega Man with ease. Not struggling to do so on Vincent. Wow Smurf is right. I agree that Link looked great in his first match, but not this... A character who can get 42% on Cloud, Seph and Snake shouldn't fail to break 50% on these guys, and lets not forget that Zelda is the fourth character in this contest to make Link look stronger in this format (After Tingle, Midna and Ganondorf of course.) Throw in someone as Gordon Freeman instead of Zelda, and I'm not sure if Link would break 42%. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day.

Bidoof seems to have a dedicated base of jokers that guarantee him 15%. Vincent was projected to get 25% Zelda has around 10% That's about 50% And there's no way Sonic will pull something like this- that is, 25%. Nah, Link is still safe.

How can people say this is unimpressive when Link is basically doubling
Vincent with Zelda, and a Nintendo-based joke character in the poll? Remember, if you were to take Zelda out, most of her percentage would go to Link, and more of Bidoof's would go to Link than Vincent. --- y halo thar turtle's alt |

I predicted Link at 50%, but I also had Vincent at 30%. Looks like
they're staying relatively even. Apart from Bidoof having 3-6% more
than anyone predicted, this match is going pretty much as expected. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

If anything, I expected Vincent to do much better, as the only FF (non
Nintendo, even) character in the poll, I said to Ngamer that 'id be
shocked if a strong FF7 character failed to put 30% on nintendo, even
if it is zelda and joke pokemon.' I think in the end, the only factor in this match is Bidoof. However the day vote looks to DEMOLISH that, and Link is doing incredibly well now. But anyway, Bidoof got 16% when the supporting cast was Edgeworth and Agent J. To be even close to that when it is Vincent instead (i'll just say Zelda is lumped into Link here) is amazing, I couldn't justify Bidoof over 12% before this match began. |

Vincent isn't even getting 30% an hour now.
If Link takes more of the ASV than Vincent, which is fairly likely I'd
say, there's no chance of him even hitting 30% updates unless he does
it in the next 3-4 hours. Needless to say, that doesn't work. Vincent
needs to consistently take in ~32%+ if he wants to go up that high. --- This story is not an end yet. Because only you are in the infinity loop. |

Link is doing fine here. He has 63.28% of the votes between himself and
Vincent right now, before the ASV, with Zelda taking away votes from
him. Sephiroth has a great chance to beat him in round 4 due to LFF
with Mario, but Link will most likely still beat Cloud in the finals. --- Character Battle VI -- Points: 119/176 -- T-1244 (234 way) Bracket: Link > Vincent -- Vote: Link |

Well, if it's Vincent, then Link wins easily. I don't think Crono would
hurt Sephiroth more than Link though- he's a SNES character and looking
at CT's matches in the Games Contest, CT had totally opposite trends to
FFVII, and that match got higher votals than FFVII/OOT. If anything,
I'd expect Crono to hurt Link a little more than Sephiroth. Crono also
has very similar character design to Link, for what it's worth. --- Character Battle VI -- Points: 119/176 -- T-1244 (234 way) Bracket: Link > Vincent -- Vote: Link |

Haste2 Anyway, I need to bring another thing up as to explain Bidoof's success: there might be lots of voters that are catching on to this fad of voting for joke (Pokemon) characters this time around. Bidoof was the first joke character (CATS aside) to appear in the contest. No, this wasn't momentum or path dependency. Just stuffing. That was pretty clear last night, and not much in doubt now. Of course you know this by now too :) smitelf: What is this "everyone"? There were several people, me included, who anticipated Cloud's performance. Not bragging (because considering today's crappy prediction...), just pointing out that if you take Kefka into account, it's not so surprising at all that Cloud did well. What do you mean, considering Kefka? Do you believe Kefka's presence helped Cloud? Because it looked like Kefka didn't even get SFFed there. Sephiroth, on the other hand...wtf. Fox collapsed like a house of cards in a hurricane. Yeah, I thought Fox would do better. Haste2 Kefka avoided all SFF... either that, or the SFF canceled out with Kefka's hardcore fans. Kefka probably hurt Cloud slightly, if anything. I agree. Though I doubt Kefka hurt Cloud at all. Nah. Fox just has SFFing power. He collapsed equally as hard as Wario, so it all made sense in the end. I suppose he SFFed Falcon into oblivion. I think Falcon>Wario 1 on 1. smitelf I think you're underestimating what Kefka would have gotten without SFF with Cloud. He'd have been much closer to Ocelot. There was definitely some SFF going on - not anywhere near on the level of this match, but enough to push Cloud up almost 2%, I think. The rest was all Cloud; he was guaranteed 53%ish without SFF anyway.<I think you're underestimating what Kefka would have gotten without SFF with Cloud. He'd have been much closer to Ocelot.

The rest was all Cloud; he was guaranteed 53%ish without SFF anyway. Well I guess 2 points might be somewhat reasonable, even though that places quite a bit Kefka closer to Fenix than he was in round 1. But 1 point is more reasonable, and that's barely worth mentioning and could easily not be SFF. Cloud just lapped everybody that match. Don't think Kefka's presence had anything to do with it. Kleenex This begs the question: What would Tingle get in her position? Good god :) Lower than Adventure probably.

Smurf And aside from Yoshi, Nintendo has sucked it up throughout the contest as a whole. Which is bizarre since Nintendo have had the best year since these contests were born.And aside from Yoshi, Nintendo has sucked it up throughout the contest as a whole. Which is bizarre since Nintendo have had the best year since these contests were born. I disagree about Nintendo sucking, but yeah, given how big the Wii is at this site you'd think Nintendo would be at its strongest ever. But that doesn't look to be the case. It is surprising to me, I thought Nintendo would be impressive in almost every match this year. Zylo I'm starting to think that Sephiroth has a great chance to upset Link in one round if Crono wins over Vincent. Link has Mario that will take away about 10% away from him, and Crono is more likely to hurt Link than Seph. Not that it matters, since Link will still advance in that round and win the contest... Huh...I never thought of that. I doubt Crono hurts Link more than Sephiroth to any noteworthy degree, he probably has similar overlaps to both, but Mario... Still, I just can't picture Sephiroth>Link happening. If it was Cloud there maybe. Sephiroth>Link would be the great upset, and the greatest match, these contests have seen though :) SmurfFAQs (is this the same as _Smurf_?) Look at any previous contest. The final winner has NEVER given reason for anybody to doubt them. They've been stunning at every hurdle. And Link has just showcased questionable performances not once, but twice. Good point. Link still has to be the heavy favorite, but the small gap for doubt increases slightly each round. Though this round isn't really a questionable performance. If you take out the cheat votes Link would be fine. This result just looks bad when compared to how Link did in the Battle Royale against Cloud/Sephiroth/Snake, but that was because of Cloud/Sephiroth LFF. ExThaNemesis If Sephiroth were to beat Link, it'd probably be the best contest result we've ever had. Heh I said the same thing :) It really isn't. >.> This is just the people that want to see something different hoping against hope. Link is still going to win, unfortunately. Yes probably. But at least with me, my understanding that Cloud>Link is possible has nothing to do with hope. It's just that these contests are never that clear-cut, and this format makes things less predictable. Lugi Bidoof seems to have a dedicated base of jokers that guarantee him 15%. It's much more proxy cheaters than jokers. helferty How can people say this is unimpressive when Link is basically doubling Vincent with Zelda, and a Nintendo-based joke character in the poll? ...and more of Bidoof's would go to Link than Vincent.
