The only way Cloud gets 40% is if Samus and Mega have a large amount of
LFF. Which is possible, I won't say it's impossible. But that's tough. If you are talking about a direct CT sequel, it'd be almost impossible to make a good story based on how CT ended. Its been a while but IIRC there is no more need to go back on time traveling. He said re-release. (and I assume he was talking about CT) I've said this before - a DS release/remake would be pretty cheap and profitable. We don't need a high-budget console game here, just something. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

creative, every stats topic ever can still be found at thengamer.com/stats Yes, even back to #1! And regarding Star Wars and LotR, not sure how we got on the subject, but those two have a pretty epic rivalry over at imdb.com, even between characters. They only get 15-30k voters since you have to be registered, but I bet the results are still pretty close to what you'd see here. Let me see what kind of results I can pull. Star Wars/Lord of the Rings showdown, Part IV: Luke Skywalker or Frodo Baggins? Luke! 9635 (62.7%) Frodo! 3510 (22.9%) Star Wars/Lord of the Rings showdown, Part III: Yoda or Gandalf? Yoda! 8324 (50.5%) Gandalf! 5400 (32.8%) Star Wars/Lord of the Rings showdown, Part II: Count Dooku or Saruman? Saruman! 8440 (59.5%) Count Dooku! 2805 (19.8%) Star Wars/Lord of the Rings showdown: Han Solo or Aragorn? Han Solo 10863 (53.7%) Aragorn 5984 (29.6%) Try as it might, LotR just can't keep up. Limiting to Star Wars alone you have... So who's your favorite Star Wars character of all time? Han Solo 3880 (29.7%) Darth Vader 1806 (13.8%) Yoda 1472 (11.3%) Chewbaccca 768 (5.9%) Boba Fett 693 (5.3%) Obi-Wan Kenobi (older) 564 (4.3%) R2-D2 540 (4.1%) Luke Skywalker 535 (4.1%) Obi-Wan Kenobi (younger) 402 (3.1%) --- The 2007 Guru Rankings! thengamer.com/guru thengamer.com/xstats = lol x-stats |

| Then I agree. SE has been porting just about all of the NES & SNES FF games, even completely remaking a game that was never released outside of Japan. Why no love for CT? Hopefully SE has bigger plans for the franchise! |

I've said this before - a DS release/remake would be pretty cheap
and profitable. We don't need a high-budget console game here, just
something. Again, FFVIA did nothing for its characters. Why would a CT port do so much more? --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

*CT spoilers* I LOVE THIS MATCH, DIE CRONO DIE. AGAIN. Vincent isn't doing this quite fast enough to make me feel safe, but FF7 generally never slows down between now and midnight.

Because it's Crono ****ing Trigger. When you're looking at relative changes, that's irrelevant. Besides, CT's barely stronger than FFVI in the first place. --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

Cloud: 40% Samus: 25% MM: 21% Ryu: 14% I...agree with hochi? DOES NOT COMPUTE. Cloud has a decent shot at getting 40%. The top character's %age has been consistently higher than their stats would indicate, though not to the same degree that the least-powerful character has been consistently owned more than he should be. And no, I wouldn't be worried for Link if Cloud achieved that. He is proving himself equally capable of dominance. --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe! Political Compass: -0.38, -4.21 |

So who's your favorite Star Wars character of all time? Han Solo 3880 (29.7%) Darth Vader 1806 (13.8%) Yoda 1472 (11.3%) Chewbaccca 768 (5.9%) Boba Fett 693 (5.3%) Obi-Wan Kenobi (older) 564 (4.3%) R2-D2 540 (4.1%) Luke Skywalker 535 (4.1%) Obi-Wan Kenobi (younger) 402 (3.1%) Hmm, gut tells me yoda and vader would do better in this contest setting than Solo. Maybe R2-D2 as well. They may not be the most popular Star Wars characters by the poll or amons hard core fans, but they are the most iconic and would have the greatest casual support. And have best pictures. Heck, the lego Starwars pics wouldn't be bad.

*had Mario > Seph in 2002, with Link and Snake losing in the Final Four and Crono losing to Lara Croft* okay, so now that Vincent has this wrapped up - what do you think about the upset potential of next round? with Ganon's 8-bit sprite, i wouldn't be surprised to see him take last place. Luigi was only about 3% (4100 votes) behind Ganon last round, and with that craptacular sprite and MC dominating most of the poll, i could see Luigi sneaking past Ganon. and with how close Mudkip got to both of them last round, i won't be surprised to see Yuna slide past both of them. i predict it will be: MC >>>>>>>>>>>> Yuna > Luigi > Ganon --- I support the following SC2K6 characters: L-Block, Phoenix Wright, Magus, Agent J, Vincent Valentine, Miles Edgeworth, HK-47, Zero, Kefka |

this is MC's first 'sprite', right? technically, i guess. it's his first appearance in the "sprite round", but since this appears to be each character's first video game appearance rather than always being sprites, i'm guessing that he will have a picture similar to Marcus's. --- I support the following SC2K6 characters: L-Block, Phoenix Wright, Magus, Agent J, Vincent Valentine, Miles Edgeworth, HK-47, Zero, Kefka |

Well, Crono's done something no other Noble Niner has done, but he's
certainly not out. Between this not being the format the Noble Nine was
founded on and Vincent technically not winning the match Crono lost in,
I'm not done with the term. That said, next year I'm taking Vincent > Crono head-to-head. Although I have Link > Vincent today, I would still take Crono > Vincent a second time one-on-one...but one more year of obscurity ought to seal the deal on Crono legitimately falling enough to lose to others. He's already losing here and the more this new generation of games pick up without him, the more he's going to suffer. --- Damn, most of my dates involve mocking and/or beating up people like you and your bride-to-be, so I really have no advice --Horatio |

Vincent's at a high enough point now to make me feel safe. A rally
later wouldn't be enough to overturn this deficit, I wouldn't think..
It didn't like it would at first, but it's nice seeing this match
deliver. Definitely my favorite match of the contest so far. --- "Ha! No spoony bard could spin a sweeter tale!" |

A Virtual Console release? Eh, I'm not sure how much that could account for. It'd be something,
but it's tough to make anything out of those Virtual Console releases.
It'd be something to consider for sure, but I'd take Vincent there
anyway. --- "Ha! No spoony bard could spin a sweeter tale!" |

The last numbers for the VC for the VC has total downloads at only 7.8 million (not sure if this is worldwide or American...), with the top five all being Mario and Zelda games.
