The relation between MM/X is about the same as the relation between
Solid Snake and Naked Snake. they are similar characters in similar
games, but it different times, and different personality. As for the different versions of Link, they all share the same exact (lack of) personality, and it would make no difference it they were one character. Also, the games hint at it being the same Link being reincarnated. If you want to nominate Dark Samus, go ahead, they are different characters. --- Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die. |

Yesterday's chart: Time | Sephiroth | Tifa | Kratos | Jill V. EBV | 35.86% | 22.25% | 24.92% | 16.97% | (0:00-0:05) PHV | 38.18% | 22.40% | 23.87% | 15.54% | (0:00-1:00) FNV | 39.31% | 23.29% | 22.01% | 15.39% | (1:00-6:00) BSV | 40.78% | 20.79% | 24.07% | 14.36% | (6:00-9:00) DSV | 42.43% | 19.04% | 24.69% | 13.84% | (9:00-14:30) ASV | 42.92% | 18.43% | 25.18% | 13.47% | (14:30-22:00) SNV | 42.74% | 19.67% | 24.13% | 13.47% | (22:00-24:00) Even Kratos's board vote is no match for Sephy's in badness. Sephy, of course, recovered throughout the day and gradually strengthened as time went along. Tifa started off strong, but dropped off pretty drastically during the day. Basically, it seems like everything Sephy gained, he took from her. Kratos also gradually strengthened as the day went along, but it wasn't as drastic as usual. Jill was, of course, strongest at night and had an excellent board vote. The day was unkind to her though. Yesterday's stats: Sephiroth – 50.00% Kratos – 36.86% Tifa Lockhart – 32.57% Jill Valentine – 25.43% Division 8, Lower Half Sephiroth – 50.00% Tifa Lockhart – 37.63% Kratos – 36.86% Jill Valentine – 25.43% Revolver Ocelot – 24.54% Ratchet – 22.78% Nana – 17.98% Heavy – 16.01% I gave Tifa her round 1 value on Sephiroth, so she ends up a bit above Kratos here. Ratchet is lookin' way too high here, but I don't really know what else to do with him. I guess I could adjust him based on this round's Tifa, but that wouldn't be consistent extrapolation. Plus, I don't want to give him a value based on SFF, even if it would (probably) be more accurate. Same with Nana. Heavy ended up at the bottom of this half, even below her. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: 1st place, 38857 votes (30.47%) |

division, even ahead of Marth. Zidane is lookin' to be equal with the

For what it's worth about Ratchet, R&C did win the PS3-GotY and was
the runner-up for PSP-GotY last year (which was ported to the PS2 this
year). It doesn't hurt that Ratchet actually beat somebody this year,
either, even if it was just Nana. Not to say those mean a lot since
R&CF:ToD was only able to beat Crysis in the 2007-GotY and Nana was
a joke (not joke character), but that's good reason to think Ratchet
should improve. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt on adjusting,
considering he will finish low anyway. --- BT about Round Two: If Snake gets 43-45%, I'll close my account right now. www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3285 |

I think today's poll begs the question: if Link was replaced by a more
neutral NN'er (let's go with Mega Man). how would Shadow have done this
division? Would he have beaten Zidane like we almost unanimously
expected? Would he have beaten Zack still? Or did Shadow bomb simply
because of himself and Link isn't to blame for how he did (or didn't)
perform? Wario looks a lot better now that Zack's done well, but I don't think Wario should be the true #3. Shadow was just unfortunate enough to share such an overlap with Link. I think this division still gets Zack for second, but Shadow should have been able to not only fight Zack but do better than Wario, Duke, or Zidane did. --- BT about Round Two: If Snake gets 43-45%, I'll close my account right now. www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3285 |

I'll take Mario > MMX again, though my bracket reverses them.
There's still a shot for it, but man...really could have used Bowser
advancing! Anyway, it's looking like Zack gets ~61% on Duke and ~60% on Wario, so let's try a new four-way: Fox McCloud Master Chief Sub-Zero Zack Fair --- BT about Round Two: If Snake gets 43-45%, I'll close my account right now. www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3285 |

I'm pretty sure the apathy-thing is out of the window for Zack now.
We've said that about him since the beginning...but he's beaten a Mario
character with a side-series and debut in SSBB along with smashing an
FF-lead without his sword in his pic, not to mention Zack's breaking
30+% on Link for the second round in a row and is ~3% away from beating
Duke and Altair combined right now. Apathy's not a factor for Zack any more. Not that he'll necessarily win that four-way I suggested, but his competition -- especially when Link's in the mix -- isn't a joke. --- BT about Round Two: If Snake gets 43-45%, I'll close my account right now. www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3285 |

I'm pretty sure the apathy-thing is out of the window for Zack now none of his competition for second place in the last 2 rounds have been significant at all. Hell, his main competition for second here is a low midcarder. Once he faces big boys, he'll lose alot of his "OMG BUSTER SWORD" votes, I'm sure. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/rydia.gif http://card.mygamercard.net/aero/Albion+Hero.png |

Put Link in Zack's place in that 4-pack with Fox/Chief/Sub-Zero and

combined. --- Crono's quest to kick L-Block out of this contest: Round 3: Crono vs. L-Block vs. Pikachu vs. Alucard |

From: YoAriel33 | #330 and how has he proven himself by beating the likes of Wario, Zidane, Duke, and Altair again...? Any FF7 character could do that, quite easily.

From: YoAriel33 | #332 I'm not really paying attention to his value on Link. Link is a foregon winner in all of his matches, so I don't see why people wouldn't vote for second place as well, since a vote for Link is a wasted vote essentially since he's going to massacre the competition anyway. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/rydia.gif http://card.mygamercard.net/aero/Albion+Hero.png |

I just can't believe people are already comparing him to Vincent and
Tifa strength when he hasn't beaten anyone of note yet. If he somehow
ends up somewhere higher then 4th next round I'll admit he has
significant strength. But right now, I see him as a mid carder who
hasn't proven anything significant to me --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/rydia.gif http://card.mygamercard.net/aero/Albion+Hero.png |

I don't think he's at Vincent's level. It was a fun comparison last
round, but he's not quite there. Tifa's level is entirely possible- in
addition to 2 superb performances against Link, he's not just beaten
but crushed Wario, Zidane, Duke, and Altair- he'd likely 60-40 in a 1v1
anyone in this division not named Link. Next round I see as an even
battle for second- there is a chance Zack takes last easily due to Last
Place Factor, but he could just as easily take second. --- Crono's quest to kick L-Block out of this contest: Round 3: Crono vs. L-Block vs. Pikachu vs. Alucard |

I think Tifa would be doing a bit better in in Zack's place, but then
again, I'd immediately take Tifa for second in a Link/Mario/Tifa/X
scenario. --- Yoblazer: VOTE: http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/3699/thegamefaqsticketxr8.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

You don't have to compare Zack to Link, though it shouldn't be ignored
(especially now that Wario and Zidane are gone). With his other
opponents...we expected Wario to do well and he may have done so in
hindsight, but Zack was ultimately too much for him and has shown he
get get ~45% in a match (while Cecil was in the poll, for whatever
that's worth). He has overcome TWO big names in the FF-world, one from
the old-school and one from the new-school. He isn't far from beating
Duke and Altair combined, two of the biggest surprises we've had this
contest. He has performed well both with and without the Buster Sword.
All of that speaks highly for me; I won't compare him to Vincent or
Tifa (especially directly), but indirectly he's probably close to Aeris. His comparisons to Link support that, is all. Link is going to take away a LOT of the apathy-votes and Zack's doing very well despite that. --- BT about Round Two: If Snake gets 43-45%, I'll close my account right now. www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3285 |

Magus was strong enough to beat Ganondorf in 2003.....and I think Zack
is about the level of Ganondorf now! Really though, Magus is more or
less the antithesis of a character who wins the apathy vote. And, if
you take Zack's 30% on Link at face value, I would think that makes him
the favorite for 2nd next round considering how much he'll stand out. --- Crono's quest to kick L-Block out of this contest: Round 3: Crono vs. L-Block vs. Pikachu vs. Alucard |

but indirectly he's probably close to Aeris. Yeah, I think Aeris is about where he's at personally. No way is he getting to the higher end of the FF7 spectrum being in a couple scenes in FF7 and a Psp game. And being Aeris level, he should be exposed next round and finish 4th quite comfortable. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/RyanSaotome/rydia.gif http://card.mygamercard.net/aero/Albion+Hero.png |

plus cloud got 53% where Mewtwo/Midna clearly split votes together. I'd
say all signs point to either an upset joke, like L-block or WCC, or

For some reason Nintendo characters seem to SFF/LFF each other more than Square characters. Heck even Wario managed to hurt Link a bit while Zidane didn't do much of anything to Zack. I wonder if Sandbag hurt Sonic at all? --- Can't think of a good sig. |
