Also why is Tails winning I'm confused.

Seriously, what the hell. He couldn't quite manage 15% with WCC, Tidus, and DK. I know these don't have too terribly much to do with actual contest strength, but that's downright weird.


combination of no strong SFF agaisnt him and most of his main competition are LFFing eachother

but like... who's LFFing Chun Li? Not that I mind Chun Li doing poorly, but I would have thought she could take Tails with no problem usually... same for the Prince. I'm really surprised Tails and Simon are beating them

Not that I care for Darkstalkers Morrigan though

And if Godot's here, given SB's penchance for grouping like characters together there's a reasonable chance Phoenix and Edgy made the cut already. Anybody (NGamer) want to estimate what seed they were last year so we get a little more insight into the process? I'm about to fall asleep.

If Morrigan is doing this well, I'd love to see Vault Boy, even though he'd be pretty weak in this format since he'd need to rely heavily on pic factor to be decent.

I doubt Edgeworth could have gotten that many noms... if for some reason we're assuming that his lack of being in this poll means he won't be in any of these polls, I think it's more likely he's out entirely

but he's probably in one of these polls Little Mac/Doc Louis, Jecht/Rikku and probably some others from the same game have gotten into different days

Hm, cursory glance says Phoenix was a 7/8 and Edgeworth was a 9. Not terribly helpful, they're probably safe no matter the system.

I wonder what this means for Zack? If Aerith and Cid are both on the bubble (albeit probably high up), I don't think he'd get more nominations than them...I hope he makes it in, either by showing up soon or being safe.

This isn't good enough Cid, you need to be much stronger than Aeris if you want any chance of challenging Tifa or Vincent.

Not that this poll means much with regards to contest strength.

How do you know Aeris is that much weaker than Tifa? They both faced Sonic and Aeris did better percentage wise. There's also this, for what it's worth:

Xstat calculator fights are my favorite thing EVER.


Now let's check on my guesstimated seeding based on these results!

#12 - Missingno
#13 - The Boss
#14 - Axel
#15 - Lightning
#16 - Scorpion
#16 - Mudkip
---

#12 - Frog
#13 - Rikku
#13 - Liquid Snake
#14 - Midna
#15 - Big Daddy
#16 - Pac-Man
---

#12 - Sub-Zero
#13 - Jecht
#14 - Spy
#14 - Ridley
#15 - Proto Man
#16 - Kain Highwind
---

And if today's result holds we're looking at

#12 - Tails
#13 - Aerith
#13 - Cid
#14 - Simon
#15 - Prince of Persia
#16 - Morrigan/Chunners


This is of course assuming the 92 locked/72 on the bubble/36 make it in layout that TRE was discussing a moment ago.

I'm not surprised by Tails' performance at all, but my jaw hit the floor when I saw how well Simon is doing. It's a pleasant surprise, though!

I wonder if Maxwell can avoid dead last?

Why go out of your way to compare 2005 Tifa with 2006 Aeris when you can compare 2006 Tifa with 2006 Aeris?

I forgot that the stats had been adjusted to ignore Samus/Tifa, which I didn't want to use for obvious reasons >_>. Besides, that estimate is pretty arbitrary anyway.

I think Simon doing this well is proof that these polls can't be used to measure actual strength at all.

Tails and Simon kinda suck, and Chun's the best character to show up in these past few polls, so seems like a normal reaction to me !

Doc looks better all of a sudden, am I right??

Tails is doing well though, it makes me happy. I also didn't expect Cid to be SO close to Aeris...close, but not potentially win over her like this. This can't be taken seriously for contest strength, but it's still a nice showing by him.

Both FF7 characters are now occupying the top 2 spots. I don't know if this will hold until the end of the poll, but Cid needs the night vote to build up a lead on Tails before morning comes.

Cripes, I knew Tails would fall behind at least one of the FFVII characters... but I didn't think it'd happen this fast! At this rate, Simon might pass him.

If there are more polls after this one, I hope Robotnik is given a chance - he's the best character in the Sonic series. Or better yet, they could give a spot to Ecco the Dolphin!

The thing is, wouldn't you already expect a lot of these characters to have no problem making a field of 128?
In particular:
Liquid Snake
Sub-Zero
Frog
Axel
Maybe Rikku/Protoman? Though they didn't make it last year I suppose...

This leads me to believe it might only be 64. How could at the very least Liquid and Subby be on the bubble?



Well yes it would be weird to see many of those people miss a 128 character bracket (although as has been mentioned, that has already happened to Rikku/Protoman/Axel), but the theory we're going with right now is that while those guys were on the bubble, it's a very large bubble. Something along the lines of 92 locked into the bracket with 72 behind them on the bubble. The best 36 earn spots in the Contest, taking us to 128.


Ah I see, yeah that makes more sense.
