What the hell, Sephiroth. Either this is rSFF or everyone knows Seph will advance. Though it's possibly both, but why the hell would they be worried about Tifa when her competition is NANA AND RATCHET????

Sounds good to me. That probably explains why the other Niners underperformed.

6 people fell off the Top 50 today. Admiralnobody88, dethl53, azndragon555, Doctor_Clarinet, Super_Bowser and ralloszek did not have Auron > Sub-Zero as yesterday's winners.

1 person scored half points but survived. Garquille14 also did not have Auron > Sub-Zero as yesterday's winners.

2 people scored quarter ponits and survived. Chaos0125 and mrblanc has something vaguely similar to Auron > Sub-Zero as yesterday's winners.

Wow I thought that Seph would have the biggest blowout in this contest.

After all his only opponent worth anything is someone he could SFF hard. But I got Tifa advancing to round 3 so that's cool.

GO TIFA ^_^

I swear there are more dumb kids who are only allowed to play nintendo games voting, than vetren gammers who actually know the competion. I mean really Wario beating Cecil, sure Wario can fart-nuke, but Cecil is a paladin. Paladins can not only take and dish out huge ammounts of damage, but the can heal. Suddenly Fart-nuke isn't looking too great is it?
linkhatesganon | Posted 10/18/2008 4:40:49 AM | message detail
But shouldn't Tifa maintain some strength at this time? Wasn't now when she was above Samus?

Jade Curtis could beat them both in a fight.

Yes, but it's starting to get to the point where "oh **** Tifa a lock to round 3" is becoming "okay maybe Kratos/Ocelot has an outside shot at this"

Tifa's looking more normal here, about where I figured she would have dropped after last night. Surprised that Sephiroth didn't gain a bigger chunk from her dropping, though. Mid-40s who would have thought

six bullets. more than enough to kill anything that moves.
LeonhartFour | Posted 10/18/2008 2:11:52 PM | message detail
Tifa's doing a good job of resisting Sephiroth here seems like, but as someone else said, she could be doing well simply because Nana and Ratchet aren't that appealing overall. Put Kratos and Ocelot (or Jill if you believe in her) in a match with Tifa and Sephiroth, and it'll be a bit tougher for her. Still, she's got a great shot of advancing still.

Tifa's currently putting up 38.07% on Sephiroth, for what it's worth. That's better than Kratos and Ocelot would do, I'd wager.

Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship
Round 1: 1st place, 57296 votes, 45.06%
LeonhartFour | Posted 10/18/2008 2:16:01 PM | message detail
Yesterday's chart:

Time | Auron | Fenix | Rydia | Sub-Zero
PHV | 37.75% | 16.06% | 18.90% | 27.29% | (0:00-1:00)
FNV | 40.44% | 14.73% | 18.71% | 26.13% | (1:00-6:00)
BSV | 40.19% | 15.32% | 17.42% | 27.07% | (6:00-9:00)
DSV | 39.85% | 15.52% | 17.34% | 27.29% | (9:00-14:30)
ASV | 38.91% | 17.63% | 16.64% | 26.82% | (14:30-22:00)
SNV | 39.94% | 16.33% | 16.80% | 26.93% | (22:00-24:00)

Auron was pretty consistent outside of the Power Hour. No major vote shifts, though he was slightly stronger during the night. FFX is pretty good all around, though better at night. Rydia is a night character for sure, but like Kain, she didn't really drop TOO much during the day. Fenix makes a noticeable leap with the ASV, but again, not a big one. It was pretty subdued, really. Sub-Zero is pretty consistent at all times. Scorpion and Sub-Zero are both pretty consistent throughout the entire match. Neither of them seem prone to massive vote shifts.

Yesterday's stats:

Auron – 50.00%
Sub-Zero – 40.50%
Rydia – 30.68%
Marcus Fenix – 29.01%

Is this really that impressive for Tifa today? Didn't spend any time really analyzing this match or even guessing where Tifa would land, but it doesn't seem so great to me. When the options aside from Seph are Nana and Ratchet the votes gotta go somewhere. Obviously it's not as comforting a result for us Kratos supporters than if she had been SFF'd into the ground... but was anyone really expecting that? (Genuine question, haven't been able to keep up with what's been going on) I for one wasn't. The entire idea behind Kratos > Tifa was that simple LFF could be enough for him to slip past, the potential for significant SFF was just an added bonus.

Tifa's performance is impressive for the sole reason that Sephiroth is only getting 61% on her when he is expected to get 65%, but with strong characters not performing up to expectations and the quality of the other two options this could very well change next round. I don't think many people gave Tifa much of a chance next round so this performance at least gives Tifa supporters a reason why she can win.

Not really - aside from him having just passed the 62% threshold, you're forgetting Tifa had KH2 since the last time we had an accurate read on her. Like Auron, she's stronger than she was in 2k5. It's the resisting SFF that's troubling for next round.

I wouldn't have thought Tifa could put up 38% on Sephiroth even without getting SFF'd at all. That puts her in the range of Crono/Sonic/Megaman/Vincent/Squall, although I think this may just be a case of the obvious winner underperforming.
