Squall>Aeris is highly unlikely. Squall's definitely higher in the SFF chain. Sora probably is, too. No, that's ridiculous. Aeris is undoubtedly higher on the "SFF" food chain than Sora. Even if she isn't necessarily looking as strong as she did in '03, she's still from FF7, who will get SFFed by almost nothing in these contests. Sora of all characters isn't higher on the Square pecking order than Aeris -- and it's unlikely he ever will be with the Square fans at this site. Sora has a chance for sure, but he's not apart of any likely outcome tomorrow. He is behind two characters who should by all means bring the hurt to him with SFF -- Squall in particular. If he's having to rely on the "dedicated" KH fanbase, it isn't going to be near the size of FF7's. Again, a chance is there, but I'd sooner expect Lara to take second before I would Sora to advance. I'd be shocked if he was even competitive. Personally, I've never had too hard a time with this match. It always seemed pretty clear to me that Squall was a clear choice for first, and then Aeris for second -- maybe Akuma if he managed to slip by. Guess we'll find out soon, though. --- "Ha!

Match XLVII: Squall vs Aeris vs Sora vs Lara Croft Past Matches Round 1 Squall - 35.33% Aeris - 25.48% Akuma - 23.05% Geno - 16.14% Sora - 41.87% Lara Croft - 25.84% Albert Wesker - 24.12% Daxter - 8.17% Analysis Last round we saw neither Squall nor Aeris SFF each other. However because of the overlap both Akuma and Geno were able to perform much better than expected and with another Square character in this match could a weaker character make the upset? Sora was able to dominate his four-pack while Lara and a tough time beating Wesker. Squall is the favorite to take first in this Square battle. Even though he didn’t SFF Aeris he had no problems beating her and I don’t see Sora posing a threat to him. The last time Sora went up against a Square character he was SFF badly and even though he’s had Kingdom Hearts II to boost his popularity and gain fans that won’t abandon him so easily Squall is still the stronger character here. Sora gets to have a chance at beating Aeris after his embarrassing loss all the way back in 2k3. The stats have Aeris ahead of Sora, but after watching female after female underperforming I think it’s safe to assume that Aeris isn’t as high as what the stats say. Even if Sora is stronger than Aeris I wouldn’t really call him a huge favorite. First I have a feeling that this match will have some kind of huge surprise and second I think Sora has a better chance at getting SFF than SFF Aeris. While Aeris has shown that she probably won’t get SFF in this match she still has the problem of being the weakest of the three Square characters though she isn’t that far from Sora. The best thing Aeris has going for her is that Sora may get SFF in this match like he was back in 2k3. Even if he has gotten more likeable all Aeris needs is he to underperform by a couple percent for her to sneak the win. Be her self Lara Croft would have had no chance against these characters, but with all three characters together she has a chance. Last round we saw Akuma getting dangerously close to Aeris and I wouldn’t rank Akuma too much higher than Chun-Li which Lara did well against and to top it all off Sora is also in this poll which splits the vote three ways. I wouldn’t be surprised if Lara came in either third or second. I feel rather confident that Squall will take first in this match, but the battle for second is very debatable. I took the upset with Aeris though I wouldn’t be surprised if the favorite Sora or unlikely choice Lara takes second. charmander6000’s Bracket: Squall > Aeris charmander6000’s Prediction: Squall - 31.93%, Aeris - 23.53%, Sora - 22.63%, Lara Croft - 21.91% --- The Board 8 BOP - http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB6%20BOP.xls Match 46: Solid Snake > Ryu H Points: 165/232 |

KleenexTissue This isn't really all that surprising. Riku + Roxas against Hayabusa was close enough as it was. When you assume that Riku probably got some of Haseo's votes and Snake's probably hindering Ryu a small bit, it works out. Yes, except more than one person in here thought this logic was MADNESS :) So then assume that 1/4 of Haseo's votes went to Riku and you get today's result. No, because Haybusa gets the rest of the votes. I think Haste2 worked out that Riku would need 90% of Roxas' and 74% of Haseo's votes to equal Ryu. That's pretty high, but I think with 1) Snake's presence possibly hurting Ryu more, 2) random day-to-day variance, and 3) weekend factor - maybe the weekend votebase is slightly different?, combined with Riku getting lots of the Roxas/Haseo votes, it's not totally shocking. Though a Riku victory here is certainly surprising (even though I argued it being possible). --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Aeris performed pretty close to expectations relative to Squall, going
with the one-on-one values. Akuma impressed relative to both though
(setting him equal to Chun Li), so even if there wasn't any SFF, there
was definitely some major LFF. --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

Division 8: Round 2 - Match 47 – Squall Leonhart vs. Aeris Gainsborough vs. Sora vs. Lara Croft Moltar’s Analysis Squall Round 1 – 35.33% vs. Aeris, Akuma and Geno Does just fine. Aeris Round 1 – 25.48% vs. Squall, Akuma and Geno Almost let Akuma get the best of her! Sora Round 1 – 41.87% vs. Lara, Wesker and Daxter Kingdom you know the drill… Lara Round 1 – 25.84% vs. Sora, Wesker and Daxter Almost let Wesker get the best of her! Well, this match is a cluster****distaster. 3 Square characters who all appeared in the same game and the PS2 platformer queen. Where does this one go? SFF can go all sorts of ways here. The one who benefits the most from it, I think, is Squall. He did well last round by getting enough on Aeris to where Akuma almost beat her. I also don’t think Sora proves to be a threat to him, as Squall would likely SFF Sora one on one as well. He’s just stronger. The winner for second is the one who withstands SFF the most. It’s either that, or get a double SFF beatdown. Aeris has proven to SFF Sora in the past, but that was a long time ago. Still, Aeris is FF7, and I think that gives precedence over Kingdom Hearts. I’m not exactly sure why I’m going against my bracket here. I like Aeris’s chances better now I guess, even though she didn’t do much to spur confidence last round. Oh, and you can’t forget about Lara here. Struggling against Wesker or not, she stands a VERY real chance of advancing if Sora or Aeris get too messed up. We’ve seen bad SFF splits before, and this is Lara’s perfect chance to pull a Pikachu and squeeze out a win. Moltar’s Bracket Says: Squall > Sora Moltar’s Prediction is: Squall: 32% - Aeris: 24% - Sora: 23% - Lara: 21% Ultimaterializer’s Analysis This is *such* a brutal match to pick, because I despise Aeris yet can't shake that 2003 match between her and Sora. Add in Squall helping her out to SFF him and Lara not quite being strong enough to be a factor in this, and you likely have the two square characters finishing 1-2. The only thing making me question this match a bit is how badly Aeris performed in the first round. She could have lost to Akuma, and Sora is stronger than Akuma. If Aeris gets SFFd and Sora... doesn't get *as* SFFd, Sora could take second place here. Screw it, I'm picking Squall > Sora for this, even though I have the safe pick in my bracket. **** you, Aeris. Go kill yourself. lol wate i mess up lololo Ulti's Prediction: Squall [35.00%] Sora [25.00%] Aeris [24.00%] Lara [16.00%] Heroic Mario’s Analysis This is one of those debated match-ups in the bracket that I’ve never had any real trouble with. I’ve seen picks all over the place on this one – Squall, Aeris and Sora, all either first or second. But I don’t see there to be much reason for debate, as it seems pretty clear to me that Squall and Aeris, out of this particular pack, are the pretty clear choices. I don’t think I’ll ever trust Sora up against another notable Final Fantasy character. The Aeris/Sora match may have been three years ago, and Sora may have gotten another big game since, but I’m not sold on him being able to withstand SFF from characters that the Square fanbase rallies behind first and foremost. Even if he does hold up better against Aeris than he did a few years back, Squall should bring the hurt. Aeris may be a non-factor in the KH games, but Squall’s one of its coolest, which means even the “exclusive” KH fanbase has reason enough to opt for Squall instead of Sora. |
| Master Moltar | Posted 10/18/2007 8:18:02 PM | message detail |
| But that said, I’m not trying to sell Sora short.
He’s obviously a legit character with his own strength, and I think he
might be a bit above Aeris indirectly, but stick him up against her and
I think he collapses. Final Fantasy takes precedence above all others
on the Square pecking order, and Sora not being a Final Fantasy
character puts him a distinct disadvantage here, I think. Consider me pretty surprised if Sora manages to advance. If has gotten that type of pull even against FF7 and FF8, I’d have a bit more respect for what he could do as a whole. As it stands, though, I think the best he can hope for is to not getting hit hard enough with SFF to finish behind Lara. Watch as Sora somehow manages to take first place here – it’s that kinda contest! Squall – 35% Aeris – 26% Sora – 21% Lara Croft – 18% Bracket: Squall > Aeris Vote: Aeris Yoblazer’s Analysis Is it just me, or is one of the most anticipated matches of the second round suddenly feeling a lot less anticipated? Perhaps it's the fact that nearly all of our brackets are long since dead and buried, or the fact that the lest round answered some of our lingering questions, but our 2007 Megahot Square Threesome isn't generating nearly as much excitement as it was pre-contest. Despite this, we could still be in for a good match. While the first round told us with relative certainty that Squall Leonhart should take first place without a hitch, the battle between Aeris and Sora for second place is still somewhat debated. Also throwing her frame (err... name, LOL) is Lara Croft, who some are speculating may take advantage of the severe SFF/LFF/whatever-you-wanna-call-it between her competitors and sneak into first place, completely humiliating the Square character she leaves in her dust. While I don't think it will happen, it certainly could, and it would prove to be entertaining to.. uhh... some people. Busty McBoobyparts aside, the main point of analysis for this match is still Sora/Aeris. Now, when discussing these contests, you really can't find better evidence than direct matches, and the one between Sora and Aeris in 2003 remains one of the more infamous SFF matches in contest history. In said match, Aeris slapped the Kingdom Hearts protagonist to the tune of a doubling, making god damned 2003 Master Chief look significantly stronger. Yes, a lot has happened since then. Yes, Sora received Kingdom Hearts II. Yes, Sora may very well be more SFF-resistant as he becomes a more established character in gaming. No, I still don't think those factors will be able to counter an SFF doubling. The fact of the matter is this: Aeris still spanked him, and she's still a prominent Final Fantasy VII character, which puts her about two steps ahead of anything Kingdom Hearts. Seeing as how my bracket is long gone, I'd love to see Sora sneak in there, but I simply don't see it happening. Squall Leonhart - 34% Aeris Gainsborough - 24% Sora - 22% Lara Croft - 20% Lopen’s Analysis Alright, alright... fun match here... even a case for Lara friggin Croft to advance could be made. So here's why she's going to win... as we know, Tomb Raider: Another Game has just been released and damn I'm calli-- Okay, no, I'm not going that way. Aeris has this, I mean, look at what she did to Sora in 2003! Sure, KH2 has since come out, but you can't make up that kinda SFF with a third party release on a minor system! Sora is going to look worse than Ge-- Okay, no, I'm not going that way either. |

I think Sora has come a really long way since 2003. He's no longer just
the dude with the big feet who you play as in game with the Disney and
FF characters in it... no, he's actually got a good amount of fans now.
Kingdom Hearts has evolved into a whole nother beast... I'd be more
weary of Snake SFFing him than Squall or Aeris, just because we've seen
Snake smash him in 2005. Though Riku holding up yesterday makes me
think that maybe Snake also had a cameo appearance in Ninja Gaiden
Sigma when we weren't looking. Brawl, Ninja Gaiden, Kingdom Hearts...
man, Snake's becoming worse than Dante when it comes to random cameo
appearances! Um... what was the topic again? Oh, right, Sora. Sora is mostly independent of new school FF now I think. Because of that, he not only vaults over Aeris with ease, but gives Squall a little scare since Squall is getting hurt more by Aeris there than Sora is. And clearly, because Riku was able to squeak by Ryu Hayabusa, KH had a massive boost from round 1, since as we all know Hayabusa is a potential noble nine breaker... he would've beat Samus in 2004 without the Arabusa getup you know...</classic bracket mistake reminiscing> Lopen's prediction: Squall - 32.45% Sora - 30.30% Aeris - 21.15% Character: Some Fodder - 16.10% Transience’s Analysis this match is downright weird - three Square characters pulling from three popular games (and two of them overlapping into one of them), and then a much weaker character that's far more independent. let's start with the Squareheads: Squall seems like the obvious choice for first. he's front-and-center in both FF8 and Kingdom Hearts, and is more likable than Sora in the latter. he's already beaten Aeris, who is from a game that's twice as popular as him. he's also shown over the years to be the strongest statistically. it's tough to make an argument where Squall doesn't take first place. Sora is probably second strongest statistically, having put up an impressive percentage on Mega Man -- better than what Aeris got against Zelda. Sora's problem is that KH fans tend to like Squall more and that he seems to flop against FF. like Aeris, for example. Aeris doubled Sora in 2003, causing the only real "upset" in 2004 -- Sora over Ryu. this is basically the only argument for Aeris placing in this match, because according to 2006 she's a shell of her former self. however, 25% of the site believes FF7 is the greatest game ever, and 25% voted for Aeris last round when she was in a match with Squall. I trust most of that 25% to back Aeris, and while I don't think that 2003 match with Sora means a lot today, I'm taking it as evidence that Aeris can still lay an old-fashioned beatdown on Sora. throw in that Squall overshadows Sora in his own game and that NOTHING can SFF FF7, and I feel good about Aeris placing here. well, better than Sora, anyway. then there's Lara, the ultimate x-factor. Lara has a great chance of placing with the three Square guys splitting votes so hard. all she needs is like 24% or something. I thought she disappointed in her round 1 match (seriously, Wesker?), but I wouldn't mind having her in my bracket -- I think all three of these guys could make a run for second here, and there's no way to feel confident otherwise. I'll feel good if I simply get the order right. Squall, Sora, Aeris who gets second? can Lara cause bracket death? ...nah. transience's prediction: Squall with 30.73%, Aeris with 24.01%, Sora with 23.33%, Lara with 21.93% Guest’s Analysis - Ed Bellis A serious analysis for a change? Couldn’t hurt, eh? Match 47(?): Of Squares and Blocky, Polygonal Circles There’s SFF (or LFF, or QVC or whatever the hell people are calling it nowadays) to spare here, folks. |

Three Square heavy-hitters duking it out, with Lara Croft just sort of
chilling in the background. Who moves on? Tough to say… sort of. Let’s
break it down: Aeris: Notable and spoiler-riffic character from the site’s biggest game, Final Fantasy 7. SFFed the holy hell out of Sora way back in 2003, back before Kingdom Hearts 2 actually gave the kid a fanbase. Came in second last round. Squall: Star of Final Fantasy 8 and just below Noble Nine status (Solid Snake aside >_>). Won last round by a great deal; also managed to SFF the hell out of Tidus last year, for what it’s worth. Sora: Star of the Kingdom Hearts series, which also stars Aeris and Squall in a supporting role. Should be doing better than he is for the sake of my bracket !! Lara Croft: Busty heroine of Tomb Raider. She gets the scraps. Though my bracket says otherwise (I was banking on a Kingdom Hearts juggernaut that seems unlikely to emerge at any point), Squall seems like the clear favorite to move on. He beat Aeris handily in Round One and it seems likely that he could do the same to Sora. I’m going to still go out on a limb and say that Sora takes second, though I could easily see Aeris getting it. And Lara Croft should actually overperform, as we bear witness to that rare event of four-way matches: anti-voting! All three characters are Squaresoft. Bet Lara gets a lot of votes from people who just don’t like the company. Not enough, but enough to make her look pretty good. Prediction: Watch your back, Aeris! Squall: 36.05% Sora: 23.66% Aeris: 22.77% Lara: 17.52% Crew Consensus: 4 have Squall > Aeris, 3 have Squall > Sora. |

Late again, I know. yeah, I think Samus tripled Master Chief the other day. the entire internet sucks on Nintendo's nips. Maybe this is why so many people online compare Samus to Master Chief to begin with. I know they're pretty similar, but...when you look at the sales figures, it hardly seems like a fair comparison. Yes, except more than one person in here thought this logic was MADNESS :) That logic is madness. Link and Cloud only picked up 75% of Mario and Sephiroth's votes. That's a heck of a lot but still not the 90+% overlap we saw today. I think Snake's SFF made the difference here, and by more than an extra percentage point. |

Round 2- Division 8 Semifinal A Previous Matches: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2891 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2892 Characters Involved: Squall One of the strongest non-Noble Niners, Squall shouldn't have any trouble taking first here, given how badly he beat down Aeris last round. Aeris She suffered badly at Squall's hands by coming close to losing to Akuma. Sora Sora performed as expected assuming Wesker boosted as opposed to Lara dropping. Though it does seem he isn't quite as high as he was last year, he has a good shot at advancing. Lara Croft Either she bombed last round by almost losing to Wesker, or she performed as expected against a much stronger Wesker. She shouldn't be a threat here, but she's up against 3 Square characters. The SFF will be flying all over the place. Predictions: A very tough match to call pre-contest, last round's results don't really help much. Pretty much the only thing we can be sure of is Squall taking first, given how badly he beat down Aeris. As for second, you could make a strong case for all 3 characters. Aeris did get beat down by Squall last round, but in 2003 she managed to double Sora. If she can repeat that today, she should advance. Sora did get doubled by Aeris, but he's had KH2 since then, and has gone from midcarder to highcarder, so there's a chance he could hold up much better this time around. Lara is damn weak. but if Wesker's performance was any indication, and using her 45% on Chun-Li last year, it's entirely possible that she is at Akuma's level, and would have a very good shot at advancing due to the 3-way Square SFF. I still can't get Sora's match against Mega Man (and Aeris' match against Zelda) out of my head though, so I have to stick with Sora on this one. Still, this is one of the more unpredictable matches this year. TuRtLe's Prediction: Squall 29%, Sora 26%, Aeris 24%, Lara 21% TuRtLe's Bracket: Squall > Sora TuRtLe's Vote: Squall TuRtLe ~~~ 189/240 in the contest. Next pick: Squall > Sora BlAcK TuRtLe.

overlap we saw today. I think Snake's SFF made the difference here, and
by more than an extra percentage point. Why the heck do people buy into the idea that Link/Mario and Cloud/Sephiroth are the apex of SFF? Link and Mario aren't even from the same series, SSB aside, and Sephiroth has the villain thing. Riku/Roxas are more similar than either of these two combos. --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe!

either way, we probably know this result fairly quickly. Aeris is probably an easy third at the beginning of the poll though. --- xyzzy |

why are we still fighting over this 70%, 80%, 100%, 10000000% stuff a month later Probably because different matches keep "proving" different results. ...which means I probably shouldn't have bothered arguing it in the first place...but whatever. |
