I'm certain Bowser SFF's Geno more than Squall or Aeris and I agree
that people weren't buying the game just because it was Square, but I
think it's worth a footnote that both Squall and Aeris were against
Geno and are Square icons within ~3.5 years that are on the most
popular systems of their generation. I would also argue that the
success Square had in the final years on the SNES (FF3/6 in '94, CT in
'95, SMRPG in '96) allowed Square being on the PS1 to be so
controversial and FF7 to be such a selling point to the PS1. There
could have reasonably been a migration for Geno-fans to shift to some
of our more modern-day FF-stars, though SFF isn't certain just because
of that. Still, I think that's worth a footnote in Geno/Aeris/Squall, whether something big happened there or not. --- Lobby Hero http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/3079/lobbyheroauditionflyerssv6.jpg |

"This isn't exactly stiff competition for
Bowser, but he's (unfortunately for himself) doing just as good as most
expected. Makes my Luigi > Liquid pick in Round 2 look good, but
honestly Liquid > Luigi "feels" like the correct pick. I dunno, but
since he'll have to split votes with Luigi next round I definitely
don't see him making it out of Round 2. The site demographic shift away
from Nintendo doesn't help him either." What makes everyone so sure it will split for Luigi and not Bowser? --- "The PS2 had 12,000,000 pre orders. To give you an idea of how many people that is that's over half of the world population." - DifferentialEquation |

What makes everyone so sure it will split for Luigi and not Bowser? Very few are sure, but Luigi was able to use the Ninty split to nearly overcome Ganondorf in Round 2 last year, and beat Bacondorf outright in Round 3. Ganondorf is considered to be stronger than the disappointing Bowser of the last few years, and people are generally just losing faith in the chances of the Koopa King. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

Bowser has never really acted as strong as he should be in a 4 way
contest. It seems like Luigi may be outright stronger than Bowser. Also
Luigi did beat Ganondorf last year. It's not set in stone, but Luigi
does look like the favorite for the split right now. --- To right the countless wrongs of our day, we shine this light of true redemption, that this place may become as paradise. What a wonderful world such would be |

anyone else think Ganondorf/Bowser in general have disappointed over the last few years? Bowser's been sucking at this format and Dorf has gone from being a potential noble nine breaker to being outclassed by Vincent and Squall could also take him,i wonder if Dante's level could take him out one on one. --- Del Boy:He who dares, wins! |

It's worth noting last year that SMRPG wasn't released on the VC and
he shared a match with other Square icons like Aeris and Squall. ...And Geno's doing about the same as he did with Aeris and Squall with worse competition. I think we can get rid of this whole Squall/Aeris LFF'd him stuff. Bowser's SFFing him pretty good. Squall and Aeris didn't. And Bowser's starting to take off, but if Geno can only cause him to get 44-45% in this match when Luigi nearly got 40% without any LFF and against good (though Sho brings down the level of overall competition a bit) opponents, Bowser's going to have a hard time not getting split pretty good with Luigi. Phoenix isn't bleeding QUITE as bad as he was this morning, though the ASV might change that. Geno and Deckard are STILL stalemated. Looks like it's just going to stay that way. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

Deckard Cain power hour time Geno getting the afterschool vote seems pretty natural to me. I know SF2's not very good in the day, but man, Mario RPG rolled all over it. and it did pretty good against Trigger, which went even with LTTP. I just think that the early vote dislikes FF7 and, to a lesser extent, Squall, so Geno started out higher than usual. --- xyzzy "Man...tranny gets bored, the rest of us suffer." -satai |

I'm actually pretty surprised Geno is doing well with the ASV. SMRPG
was released 12 years ago... in order to still be in high school and
have played the game, you would have been 6 years old or younger when
it came out. Just seems pretty strange is the shift we see at this time
really is from the kiddies getting out of school. --- hungry like the wolf |

Geno has been performing pretty well today. Cain originally cut Geno's
850-some vote lead in half, then Geno holds Cain off for like 6 hours
and refuses to let him gain any more ground. After that, Geno starts to
being slaughtering Cain again and building up his lead. Up until Geno
begins to strike back at Cain, Cain managed to stay around 15%
throughout all this. Then comes the day vote and Cain is now collapsing
hard while Bowser just continues to shoot up in percentage. Geno is
also rising in percentage, but at a much slower rate than Bowser is.
Phoenix has also been dropping throughout the morning and day. So I once again have a solid Oracle prediction. --- Luster Soldier - Popular at school. ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ |
