There were exactly 15 characters from the Final Fantasy series in
the contest this year, meaning that last year's assumed series cap of
15 is still in play. Lame. Explains what happens to Yuna and Rikku,
though. Super Smash Bros. has 30 something characters It's silly for there to be any sort of cap since the only series it would affect is Final Fantasy. --- For your health. |

who the hell used a poll with 34k to prove vincent has a vocal fanbase,that poll is uber obsolete. Tifa is a main character,as such i believe she can resist sff much better. i reckon Tifa's stronger than most people think,C.C has been tossed in favour of Z,but i really do think the VII crew will boost. Sephiroth will not SFF Tifa into the ground,i actually reckon vincent lost plenty more votes because FFVII fans tried to put Sephiroth as close as possible to Link. --- Del Boy:He who dares, wins! |

but really, what were you expecting? 85% to have played Mega Man? I
would have expected 75%ish. this isn't awful or anything. I also don't
think it really means much of anything. I bet if you made a poll about
Sonic, it wouldn't be all that much higher. and Crono's probably down
in the low 60s at this point, if that. --- xyzzy |

And yeah Crono's game has bottom-barrel play here, but it always has
been. It has compensated because its favorite index is through the roof
- the people that play it, love it. This is also why I expect CTDS to pull some wonders for him if it's received well... --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

I think Squall/Aeris/Akuma's match last year is an excellent
comparison, as suggested earlier. Sephiroth >> Squall, Tifa >
Aeris, Sephiroth/Tifa have much more overlap than Squall/Aeris, and
Kratos >> Akuma. I do think there's a chance Sephiroth could **** up Kratos and/or Revolver, but Tifa's definitely gonna take it like her name was Aeris. --- NRT winners: Pokemon R/B/Y, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=44623118 |

I dunno, 25% of the site not playing any MM game jumps out to me at
first glance. I don't even see how that's possible in terms of sheer
oversaturation! Adding up the sales of every MM game ever results in something like 28 million sold worldwide. That really doesn't come close to some of the bigger series out there (Resident Evil, Donkey Kong, Sonic). --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. Brawl FC: 4253-3155-6697 |

ya know i've been thinking(which ain't never a good thing since i only end up rambling) people auto assume sephiroth's gonna pound Tifa, now i reckon one on one Sephiroth/Tifa ends up like Cloud/Sephiroth,a relative 55/45,that's just enough for someone like Snake to sneak through like in the battle royale. but thing is i don't think Kratos can take advantage of this,i think he'd fall just short of the mark. Also I think Vincent is kinda like Samus,he's indirectly stronger than most but i think he's also more suceptible(sp?) to SFF than Tifa,which would explain why he got hammered,also if you add in Vincent and Seph's percentages it's high than Link's,so i'm sticking with my theory of FF fans ditching Vincent to try and have Sephiroth upset Link. I think that since Sephiroth is a villain i find it somewhat harder to believe he could SFF a main character to death,since i think he also split the cool factor with Vincent making the vampire lose the cool vote. But Tifa is rubbed in your face from start to finish,is playable on the world map for a while has pulled in some decent performances in Contests before,has AC,KHII effects which i guess haven't totally gone yet and CC(haven't played it but she must be in it). i see Tifa edging Kratos by around the margin Vincent beat crono or Snake beat Sephiroth. omewhere in between,nothing in it but still just enough. --- Del Boy:He who dares, wins! |

| Again I point to a hypthetical Bowser/Peach matchup, or Ganondorf/Zelda. In both cases, the girl would get pounded into the ground. There's just some cases where a villain has way more personality or popularity than the female lead. If Sephy can beat the crap out of a fan favourite like Vincent, he's going to beat Tifa into the ground. |
| Wii_TuRtLe | Posted 8/28/2008 8:20:43 AM | message detail |
| And Mega Man fanboyism aside, 30% of the site not
playing a single game is just disgusting. That's like 30% of the site
never playing a Sonic or Mario game. Mega Man has been one of the
biggest gaming franchises since the NES days. Although this poll really does explain how he went from being 50/50 with Sephiroth to getting beat by Snake/Crono |
| swirIdude | Posted 8/28/2008 8:21:46 AM | message detail |

The specific relation between the villain and a female lead is
irrelevant to the Sephiroth/Tifa discussion. That said, there shouldn't
even BE any discussion on this. Sephiroth was able to embarass Vincent,
it only makes sense he would do the same to Tifa. --- SSBB FC: 4425-1156-3590 NOMINATE KNUCKLES THE ECHIDNA! |

I actually think Zelda could reak 40 on Ganondorf,if he gets a terrible pic make that 45. Also Tifa is playable from near start to end. I'm going with what my sig says on this one(though del boy always ends up seeing his scams fall apart). --- Del Boy:He who dares, wins! |

Of course Bowser should pound Peach, and I'm not so confident in Ganon
beating or especially smashing Zelda...but neither are relevant. The
most important thing to know is Sephiroth has already shown he can
decimate Vincent...so -- even if Tifa has less in common with Sephiroth
than Vincent does -- she should be blasted even worse comparatively
since she's weaker than Vincent, did far worse in the FF7-poll than
Vincent, and doesn't have her own game to stand on. Kratos and Revolver
are neither Mario or Link, but they certainly won't need to be. --- NRT winners: Pokemon R/B/Y, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=44623118 |

...I should say Kratos won't need to be. Revolver could stand to be a bit stronger if he wants to beat Tifa! --- NRT winners: Pokemon R/B/Y, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=44623118 |

I still don't see why everyone is insisting that Sephiroth SFF'd the
hell out of Vincent. Did Sephiroth get some kind of percentage that
seemed out of whack in relation to Link and Mario's percentages? Last I
checked, I think not. Link still edges out Sephiroth, and Sephiroth
still beats the hell out of Mario. I think Vincent's percentage is more
due to him being that much weaker than the combined force of Sephiroth,
Mario, and Link in a 4-way poll. But again, I'm turning into a broken
record. People obviously don't agree with me... --- Proud Supporter of Zero |

| Last time we saw Ganon/Samus, there didn't seem to be much SFF at all. Then again, it is hard to judge since we really don't have ANY good idea on where Samus should be. |

Did Sephiroth get some kind of percentage that seemed out of whack
in relation to Link and Mario's percentages? Last I checked, I think
not. I guess not, but 9.85% for Vincent seems REALLY low, in spite of the competition. I mean, he's getting more than doubled by Mario, who's probably being affected by Link somehow. Besides, that match has double LFF in it. I don't know if you can draw any sort of reasonable conclusion from it. All four competitors were being affected in some way, most likely. Also, I haven't seen much, if any, discussion about Squall/Yoshi/Sora/Fox. I think that's the biggest second round match (based on what's in my bracket anyway). Who does everyone have? I have Squall/Sora. Those two didn't seem to affect each other last year, and there's plenty of reason to believe Yoshi and Fox will affect each other. Plus, I doubt Sora's that far off from Yoshi anyway. Still, Sora's performance after Aeris left kinda concerns me. Don't really know what to think. And does anyone think Mario SFFs Zelda enough for Knux to get by? --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

I've got Ness, though I think Pac-Man has a good shot of sneaking
through. PSI-boy has shown susceptibility to heavy SFF in the past, and
while Pac-Man has, too, he shouldn't be affected by anyone else in the
poll. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

I like Squall > Yoshi. I disagree about Squall and Sora not
affecting each other by virtue of their third round match last year
(even if Sora beat Sub-Zero, Squall/Sora had a huge gap between them
that I don't think is natural), and the gap from Fox to Yoshi is almost
certainly bigger than the gap from Sora to Squall. If Nintendo only
gets, say, 46%, Yoshi's still going to have at least 23% (and most
likely more than that) now that SMG (even if he's not in it), SSBB, and
MKW are the last three big releases for the Wii. Sora will have a hard
time outdoing that with Squall in the mix. Sora's going to have a
superior in his match while Yoshi will have an inferior, and Sora/Yoshi
are close as is. I like Yoshi's chances, and his games EASILY have the
advantage of momentum. --- NRT winners: Pokemon R/B/Y, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=44623118 |

think Vincent's percentage is more due to him being that much weaker
than the combined force of Sephiroth, Mario, and Link in a 4-way poll. i don't think that's the case after how he beat Crono. it's pretty clear he was mostly SFF'd but to what extent seems to be the debate. I think the extent is rather large seeing how I'm sure Crono would have done much, much better in that position. --- “Back in my day we used to actually play our videogames instead of watching them”- Vivi0198 |

I guess not, but 9.85% for Vincent seems REALLY low, in spite of the

probably being affected by Link somehow. Besides, that match has double
LFF in it. I don't know if you can draw any sort of reasonable
conclusion from it. All four competitors were being affected in some
way, most likely. But then that's why I'm pointing at the ratio between Seph, Mario, and Link not appearing out of whack at all. Mario and Link's votes take up 60% of the poll, which makes since due to Vincent being that much weaker. And Sephiroth's vote relationship with Link and Mario line up close to what they should be. There's nothing that really indicates that Vincent is suffering more due to Sephiroth than simply being in a poll with 3 characters much stronger than him. --- Proud Supporter of Zero |
