Zack is going to be getting near the same percentage on Link that Vivi got on Snake and Zack's dealing with Zidane.

Demyx is better than Axel.

Sure there's quite a bit a difference: the main thing working against Zack being that Crono is much stronger than Zidane. But if you don't believe in Crono/Vincent LFF or believe it was minimal, then, assuming Zack goes up a lot like FFVII usually does, Zack does look like he's on Vincent's level.

I do want to see Zidane again next year after Dissidia, though. He's probably the character that would benefit from it the most (assuming they don't ruin his personality...like the previews are showing, damnit Square).

Zidane's probably already benefited from Dissidia, considering he upset Shadow. How much better is he going to get? (Especially if hype > release.)

There's barely any Dissidia hype, and what little there is certainly isn't about Zidane. Squall seems to be the main focus of the previews so far.

Unless Altair blows the roof off the poll tomorrow, I think Zack is very safe. No way would I bet on casual bait to beat everything from Final Fantasy VII, no matter how cool the casual bait looks (doubly so when Link is in the poll and sucking up percentage like a tornado).

Vincent's percentage of Link/Vincent votes at 1 AM (round 2): 35.99%
Vincent's percentage of Link/Vincent votes at 1 AM (round 3): 29.61%
Zack's percentage of Link/Zack votes at 1 AM: 31.00%

Zelda and Bidoof were the other 2 characters in round 2, which should be much more favorable for Vincent than Zidane/Wario are for Zack. Although FFVII/IX overlap should be larger than FFVII/CT overlap, Crono probably hurts Vincent's proportion to Link more than Zidane is hurting Zack's proportion simply from being stronger and Crono/Vincent being hurt about equally, whereas Zidane is probably suffering more than Zack here. I don't think it's too unfair a comparison- as of now I'd probably peg Zack around the Tifa/Ganondorf area.

I think we're getting a little silly with this Zack stuff now. He's a solid entry in the contest for sure, but he's not taking down the Tifas and Ganondorfs of the world any time soon.

Well, when I first made my bracket, I had Zack advancing out of his division without really a second thought, and then put Zack over Mario briefly before changing to Mario. He held up to Link SFF last year too well to lose, probably, but it isn't completely impossible.

Mudkip's not going to advance over Mario/X. Don't see that at all. Mudkip is only half joke. His other half is Nintendo.

red sox 777 | Posted 10/19/2008 10:22:33 PM | message detail
Well if Mudkip is in the match, Zack's chances of taking down Mario become lower probably (and they are very low even with X there), and Zack's chances of losing to Mudkip are definitely well above zero. For that matter, Mudkip's chances of beating Mario are above zero too. But Zack's going to stand out as the only Square character in that poll against 3 Nintendo-related characters, and I'd be surprised if he lost to Mario by more than he beats Altair next round.

Don't forget that the 4th in the Luigi / Ganondorf / Mudkip match was Vergil. Here, the 4th is a Zelda that held up against Mario SFF rather well.

red sox 777 | Posted 10/19/2008 10:26:26 PM | message detail
Mario is far above Ganondorf/Luigi, but I'm not so sure about X. Normal Megaman is probably closer to Ganondorf than Mario, and X is probably weaker.....I hope X resists SFF from Mario really well, because it would be a truly awful result if Mudkip advances in that match.

KleenexTissue50 | Posted 10/19/2008 10:33:28 PM | message detail
Mudkip's not really going to be SFF'd that much, I don't think. Even if 'dorf and Luigi aren't Mario and X, Mudkip held the lead over Luigi for 3 hours and over Ganon for 12. In a match where all four characters are Nintendo-based in some way, there's going to be some funky stuff going on and I'd take the "joke" character to capitalize on that.

Er, I guess it was over Ganon for 10 hours, not 12. Either way, it's still pretty ridiculous.

Wow, Zack with nearly 25% of the vote? I'm really impressed. He should drop from here because it's looking like Link finally decided he wanted to have a morning vote, but still...Almost avoiding a doubling from Link is impressive. I'm tempted to call him a lock to get out of this division because he'll look even better next round for two reasons:

1. No Zidane to hold him back (if he is, he should be)
2. He'll have an unmistakable FFVII polygon

Those both should work for him. Now it's up to Altair to respond.
