I really want to see Sir ***ing Jecht rather than Seymour. Jecht has to be stronger than him. --- A pro isn't someone who sacrifices himself for his job. That's just a fool. - Reno, FFVII |

Sephiroth barely fell with the morning vote... I don't see how he doesn't finish over 45% today. ...and people are calling this a bad performance? What the... --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package. |

| He's going to finish a percentage point or two
higher than the average prediction, but so will Mario. Aside from Fox
sucking more than anyone predicted, this is as expected as can be. BO-RING. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I'm personally impressed by Seph... which is good because I was getting
a little worried (and when I say little, I mean little) with the next
round, seeing as Vincent will be splitting the fanbase with Seph, even
if Link was going to be there with Mario. If it were closer I'd say
anything was possible, but this is basically showing that it has no
chance in hell of happening. --- Explicit Content. hungry like the wolf |

Actually with Link in the poll I'd be surprised if Mario wins, with or without Vincent. Cloud - 24.27% Link - 34.91% Mario - 11.18% Sephiroth - 14.87% Solid Snake - 14.76% And this time Sephiroth won't be held back. --- The Board 8 BOP - http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB6%20BOP.xls Match 51: Sephiroth > Mario Points: 197/288 |

Eh, it had no chance of happening after last year's battle royal with
Link/Cloud/Snake in the match. If Mario couldn't win with Cloud in it,
he'd have no chance with Vincent. And I hope we can start giving Sephiroth's day vote some respect now. Mario is average Nintendo in the day, just like all of his opponents last round. The only difference now is Big Boss, keeping Sephiroth down a little in the night and bringing him up more during the day. |

| I'm smelling a serious Link underperformance today. The guy's expectations are always so head-and-shoulders above everything else, that even he, our legend, can't meet them forever. He scored 42.7% in a four-way poll against much tougher competition last year, so I'm guessing people expect him to put up at least 45% here. I just can't see that, especially when considering his (likely) awful picture and the fact that all three of his opponents could be buffed up due to massive hype and uncertainty surrounding the match. |

| Hahaha man I don't know if I want to be around a
place where Link's first sprite is awful. It ain't no Solid **** that's
for sure but then again I am overly fond of the first game. As for this match, yeah it's great seeing every shred of dignity torn from Fox, and Sephiroth massively gaining in the dead hours. </sarcasm> --- Should I start running now? |

As I said about 10 topics ago, Sephiroth chances to defeat Link is very
good. No Cloud to hold him back this time, and there's Mario who should
at least remove 4% of Link's votes. Hopefully Vincent won't advance
tomorrow and Seph will hurt a lot of brackets. To bad that his run in
this contest ends since for some reason so many people like Cloud more
than Sephiroth. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Kyle Bowen: Ignore me then and dont be an ass when I post. It solves everything. |

Looks like I was very wrong about Sephiroth not hitting 45%! Just oustanding by him. He might fall under 45% with the ASV, but if so the evening should push him over again. Poor Fox though :( Lady Ashe Just because he isn't the type of character people will nominate doesn't mean he won't get votes. (Tifa, anyone?) Seymour is not Tifa at all. I don't think anyone cares about Seymour. He's not iconic, or badass, or anything. As discussed last night, I think Sin>Seymour, and Sin is pretty weak. Ultimaphazon I really want to see Sir ***ing Jecht rather than Seymour. Jecht has to be stronger than him. That would be cool. Jecht>Seymour for sure. He's going to finish a percentage point or two higher than the average prediction, He's going to shatter the average prediction I think. There were a lot of predictions under 40% for him. YoAriel but so will Mario Actually I don't think Mario will finish much higher than consensus. Which might not be a great sign for him, since he's sucking up like all of Fox's votes. But I guess if you give him most of Fox's remaining votes it's fine. Kettch And I hope we can start giving Sephiroth's day vote some respect now. Seph's day vote has always had respect. It's just that his late 1st night vote is actually better, and his evening vote also tends to be better than his ASV. But against someone like Mario, who'll kill him early, Seph will tend to rise almost all of the match anyway. YoAriel I'm smelling a serious Link underperformance today. ... He scored 42.7% in a four-way poll against much tougher competition last year, so I'm guessing people expect him to put up at least 45% here. If you're expecting 45%, then yeah, a serious underperformance is very likely. Because that 42.7% against "tough competition" is inflated due to massive Cloud/Sephiroth LFF. You can't use that as the comparison stick, you'll be setting expectations for Link way too high. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

As I said about 10 topics ago, Sephiroth chances to defeat Link is very good. I would say they exist...doesn't mean they're good. I can see Sephiroth getting closer than pre-contest expectations, especially if Vincent isn't there (I think Sephiroth would SFF Vincent, but the LFF could potentially be bad there, same game and all). But I cannot see Sephiroth actually beating Link. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

And there's no way Jecht beats Seymour. I'm pretty sure he'd beat Sin
as well. Not that he'd have any real strength or anything, but I'd
definitely take him to be the 'strongest' FFX villain. --- 196/256. Today : Samus > Mega Man. Tomorrow : Cloud > Bowser *One_Winged_Ange* |

And there's no way Jecht beats Seymour. I'd almost be inclined to say the opposite. People actually like Jecht. Jecht actually has fans. he, our legend should manage 44%ish. Much lower than that and he's in big trouble against Cloud. 41+% would be fine I think. I'm expecting 42%-44%. 41% invoke some concern, 45+% would be very impressive and make him a big favorite again. Suuure there isn't. I don't think there will be much. I might even think Link/Crono LFF would be at a comparable level - at least they had games on the same console. But I don't think LFF will be that big in this match. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I'd almost be inclined to say the opposite. People actually like Jecht. Jecht actually has fans. Does he though? I'd say Jecht is Balthier-esque in expectations/performance ratio, but then way worse. And with Balthier actually being a cool character. Seymour is way more recognizable. --- 196/256. Today : Samus > Mega Man. Tomorrow : Cloud > Bowser *One_Winged_Ange* |

Hmm...normally i'd expect 42.5% from Link here, but Cloud has upped the
ante. I'd like to see Link get close to 44%, at least, for him to look
good. --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe! Political Compass: -0.38, -4.21 |

41+% would be fine I think. I'm expecting 42%-44%. 41% invoke some
concern, 45+% would be very impressive and make him a big favorite
again. My expected range is more like 43%-44%. Under 42%, and I think he's screwed. But I agree that anything above 45% would look really good. --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe! Political Compass: -0.38, -4.21 |

With regard to emulation, I would think that there'd be a greater
overlap with PSXers, but you can't be sure. I definitely see a lot of
the emulation coming from people who played FFVII and other PS1 RPGs
and then went on to seek other Square games. --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

From creativename Posted 10/23/2007 1:04:52 PM #164 Lady Ashe Just because he isn't the type of character people will nominate doesn't mean he won't get votes. (Tifa, anyone?) Seymour is not Tifa at all. I don't think anyone cares about Seymour. He's not iconic, or badass, or anything. As discussed last night, I think Sin>Seymour, and Sin is pretty weak. While possible, I highly doubt it. Regardless, he should be given a shot. He has potential. Just because Board 8 doesn't like someone doesn't mean others can't. I'm not seeing where any of the complaints about him are coming from, really. And my Tifa comment was simply to point out that nominations =/= popularity. ~~~ Ashe.

Sephiroth is getting 56% on Mario, which is what he would be expected
to get. I fail to see how this is impressive for him. I think so many
are looking for an upset of Link, they are just reaching for whatever
hope they can find. It's not happening. And there's no way Jecht beats Seymour. I'm pretty sure he'd beat Sin as well. Not that he'd have any real strength or anything, but I'd definitely take him to be the 'strongest' FFX villain. No way. Seymour sucks. And his character design certainly wouldn't recommend him over someone like Jecht. If I had to guess, Jecht > Sin > Seymour. --- HMMMmmmMMMMMmmmmm............... |

so many are looking for an upset of Link, they are just reaching for
whatever hope they can find. It's not happening. It's very reassuring to see that Sephiroth can match his percentage from last year, from my perspective. Logic would see him go down over time. I just rejoice over the staying power of FFVII :-) Link is beating Cloud though, absolutely. No way. Seymour sucks. And his character design certainly wouldn't recommend him over someone like Jecht. If I had to guess, Jecht > Sin > Seymour. Jecht doesn't suck? How does he even has fans? His appealing persona as a father? I thought Jecht was one of the worst FFX characters, to be honest. At least Seymour gets standard 'hey guys FFX villain' votes. --- 196/256. Today : Samus > Mega Man. Tomorrow : Cloud > Bowser *One_Winged_Ange* |

It's almost certain that a majority of the Fox votes would go to Mario.
Big Boss probably wouldn't favor either one significantly. It's not as
if Sephiroth is really impressing against Mario --- This story is not an end yet. Because only you are in the infinity loop. |

I would definitely say that a sound majority of Big Boss votes would go
to Sephiroth. Considering Big Boss is beating him by about 4%, and
their small portion of all votes, I'd say their presence is pretty
ignorable when comparing Sephiroth-Mario. --- 196/256. Today : Samus > Mega Man. Tomorrow : Cloud > Bowser *One_Winged_Ange* |

Yeah, Jecht would suck. My personal bet is on Seymour > Sin > Jecht. Though really, none of them are worth seeing. If we wanna see another FF villain we should get X-Death or Gilgamesh in.. just to see how bad FFV's popularity is. I bet they could both outdo Kuja... hell, Gilgamesh could probably outdo Terra.
