Obligatory epic topic post. I've been lurking this topic for years, but I rarely ever post. Also, I'm really shocked Cid is so low here. I'm glad I decided to go sorta safe with my Oracle and not put this match too close (though I do have Mega at around 57%).

I don't know why anyone would be surprised about Cid. Mega Man is one of the most famous video game characters of all time.

I'm still hoping we find a suitable fourth for our Magus/Shadow/Kefka Fourpack of Suck! Closest I can think of is Donkey Kong, and even then he's more inconsistent than bad.

One of DK, Liquid Snake, of Ocelot shuld suffice. Though I'm not sure on Liquid...

Yesterday's chart:

Time | Ike | Prinny | Votes
0:05 | 61.13% | 38.87% | 867
1:00 | 60.75% | 39.25% | 8882
2:00 | 61.40% | 38.60% | 6651
3:00 | 62.47% | 37.53% | 6989
4:00 | 63.14% | 36.86% | 7240
5:00 | 63.61% | 36.39% | 7143
6:00 | 64.16% | 35.84% | 6775
7:00 | 64.89% | 35.11% | 6323
8:00 | 62.91% | 37.09% | 5735
9:00 | 62.38% | 37.62% | 5143
10:00 | 62.33% | 37.67% | 4609
11:00 | 60.12% | 39.88% | 4278
12:00 | 60.46% | 39.54% | 3553

Ike had a few strong hours of ASV, but he dropped off pretty hard around 7 P.M. and then he dropped off even harder once we got to 10 P.M. It doesn't seem like the ASV lasts as long as it used to, and that could be an influx of people who would usually vote at night voting during the evening.

I will laugh my head (of lettuce) off if Kefka gets Amano art.

And I will laugh at Ulti because he said he'd rather have Amano than Nomura.

Look at this result. Even if Cid is a bust, I'm feeling better about Snake>Seph. You know Seph is going to start out in a hole, and that late in a contest when our brackets are all dead, many of the voters are going to do anything in their power to keep him there.

...which really has nothing to do with this match, but hey, I'm feeling good about Snake's chances ALRIGHT. This very surprising performance changes little in the grand scheme of things, though. Zack/Yuna and Auron/Squall are still SFF matches, Crono and Vinnie are still getting fed to Sephiroth, and Mega Man is still jobbing to Mario.

All aboard the Gordon>Tifa train, perhaps?

HaRRicH | Posted 1/25/2010 10:23:25 PM | message detail
Hell yeah Mega Man!


I maintain my previous stance of Aeris > Cid, given Cid's poor performance and Aeris barely edging Cid out in the vote-in polls. I'd take Cid > Lightning at this time though, so -- if that's right -- Sonic gets his ass kicked by Mega Man. Cid'll improve overnight though, so let's see what he's got...

...and no, this match hardly has any bearing on Zack. FF7 doesn't look good based on Cid, but he's a newcomer and we haven't seen anything from the FF7-characters we know. Zack got 30+% three different times against Link last year (including beating MMX once with room to spare, though Link/Mario should be considered)...whereas Cid has 34% on Mega Man at this time. They're clearly in different leagues as far as our numbers show.

I've got Yuna > Zack but have been feeling worse about it in the past couple of days. Yuna better come ready to impress.

Yuna/Zack could be a Mario/Samus situation. Yuna is probably indirectly stronger, but I can't see the SFF favoring her against black-haired Cloud.

If Yuna's stronger, she'll win. This isn't Mario/Samus at all, and that wasn't rSFF. Mario was stronger, so he won.

Zack's Round 2 match last year was completely legitimate, as well as being more impressive than anything Yuna has ever done.

Plus, look at the match pic. I'm with RPGuy in that I hate the emo Zack look, but GameFAQs eats that up like crazy.

I quickly looked through this topic and noticed the suspicions of a possible Mega Man boost. I'm not sure if people are being serious or not, but it makes a hell of a lot more sense to assume that Cid is just the weakest FFVII poll option we've ever seen, which is a shame, but is still far more likely than Mega Man getting a boost from Tatsunoku vs. Capcom (or whatever else he's been in since jobbing to WCC).

He actually didn't do too badly in 2008. Cube isn't weak, and Zero was in that match. The worst performance he's had is probably that 39% on Samus in 2007 with Cloud and Ryu there.

And who do you think hurt who more, Wario with Link or Zidane with Zack? Because if anything, Zack's value on Link during that match was a little underinflated.

Plus, Zidane and Wario combine for like 23% total of the remaining %.
