I'd be very surprised to see Rikku beat Kirby. I just don't see any reason to believe it.

So everyone thinks Zack > Yuna, huh? Well, do you think Zack could beat Kirby?

No! Of course not! If Rikku holds Kirby to under 56%, Yuna should pull off the win!

I too have Yuna > Zack, 58% on Wario is something I believe Yuna can do.


And second, the polls for the portable consoles will get less votals than the console polls will. Console gaming is more popular than portable gaming anyways.

Actually the DS is pretty comparable to consoles, it manage to out vote the 360 poll last year and the PS3 and 360 in the year before.

Yuna>Zack is very likely come to think of it, but I see it as Squall/Vincent lite, so I'm backing FFVII this time.

On a tangential note, unless you read the instruction manual, in no place in OOT are you ever told Link's name. I think that's true for other Zelda games too.

Doesn't Navi say Link repeatedly?

Chernobyl > FF2.

I'm favoring Zack over Yuna myself. I think Zack's got the edge with the FF7 thing and being doppleganged by Cloud, plus managing to remain relevant more than Yuna.

Of course, Yuna has a good shot as well, and it looks to be a solid match.

The FF pecking order sways me as well, as does the black haired Cloud argument. While it's often hard to take much from 4way results, Zack barely lost out against Link and Mario. Yuna lost out pretty handily against Ganondorf and Luigi.

I'm inclined to think at this point that the "Chief does better in 4 ways" theory was a bit of a joke (and I was one of the main proponents of that theory), so yeah. Master Chief would've been a NN breaker that year I think.

I really don't think "Black-Haired Cloud" has much of anything to do with why Zack is popular.

And put Link in that match instead of Master Chief with Yuna, Luigi, and Ganondorf. I bet you Yuna places.

Would Yuna have come so close to placing against Link and Mario, though? I have a hard time seeing it happen, which I guess is why I'm going with big Z.

Master Chief was absolutely ridiculous in 2007. I wouldn't be surprised if he had given Mega Man, Sonic, or Crono a run for their money that year.

Man, seeing Master Chief's day vote against Crono's that year would've been epic.

The Noble Nine has been broken repeatedly. At this point it's the Terrific Two, as Mario and Samus are the only characters to not lose to non-N9ers.

It's hard to say, but I wouldn't recommend relying too much on a triple LFF match. If that was the best I had going for me, I wouldn't feel too good about it. Yuna's more popular than people seem to give her credit for, and I'm still not entirely sure how popular Zack himself is. His path last year didn't tell me too much about him other than he is a solid midcarder, but so is Yuna. It just depends on how high on the chain he goes. I don't think he beats Luigi or Ganon though.

Yeah, the whole 'Black Haired Cloud' thing definitely isn't why Zack is popular. Part of it is that he's from FFVII, part of it is that he's just awesome.

Well you still gotta go with Zack, I think-- even assuming there were three Chiefs you'd go with Zack (shut up about SFF freaks you know what I mean). Although there is the argument to be made that Zack was the sore thumb in his group whereas Yuna was less so.

Zack's match vs Mario and crew doesn't really stack up with his others I don't think.

If Mario/Sonic ever happened, Sonic would either overperform like hell or would get tripled.

I eagerly await to see Luigi outperform Mario on Shadow, assuming Shadow actually makes it past the first round (which I doubt).

I'm inclined to agree with Lopen here, just because of how much Chief fell back in 2008. He probably was helped by 4-ways, but just as much or even more by Game Fuel. He was 2% behind Snake......drop him a few percentage points to take away any advantage he might have gotten from 4-ways, and he's right with the 2007 Megaman/Crono/Sonic trio. That was possibly the worst year for those 3 as a group; it was for Crono at least. Though I guess 2008 Sonic sucked so badly that 2008 has to be the worst for them overall.

well Crisis core was like an FFX-2 for Zack, as in he got waaay more exposure as a result and the focus was on him not wimpy cloud.
But is it really hard to believe that after over 4000 days on the gamefaqs top FAQs list, Zack is just that well known amongst FFVII fans?

It's hard to play FFVII (and pay attention to the storyline), and not know who Zack is. Now, you have to manage to find his very missable (and extremely awesome) optional cutscene in the Shinra Mansion before you really start to like the guy though.
