I picked Tidus mainly because of the FF voters. I hope he can survive. I didnt realize people antivote Tidus when I filled out bracket.

GTA also gets a lot of bracket support so I wouldn't be surprised if we lost a bunch of high ranking brackets.

People anti-vote ANYTHING FF, the more womanly they look the worse it gets, FF's anti-fanbase is probably higher than pikachu's by now.

Well given the percent Jill probably has below 65% bracket support at least, probably around 60%.

Tidus is probably the best protagonist in FF history, but good GOD does he suck ass in these contests. He went from going even with Ganon back in '03 to getting beat by WCC in 08 :/

Tidus's personality is fine, if I chucked any of you lot in in his place, instead of whining a bit early on they'd be ****** themselves and crying and going mommy I'm doomed. I mean he's no soldier he's just a sports superstar, whatdya think Peyton Manning would do as the FFX lead?

Tidus probably hasn't changed that much since 2003, honestly. Ganon 2003 isn't as strong as Ganon is now or even as strong as he was the next year once Twilight Princess was announced.

couldn't you also make an argument that FFX itself did get it's fair share of backlash around 03?
I mean every FF gets its backlash upon release and then people end up loving it like FFVIII.

come to think of it, I think after this contest, me and Leon should setup a massive rally to get a second FFVIII character in the contest, doesn't matter if it's Laguna or Zell, we just need another FFVIII dude, or gal(selphie yum, yum, yum).

Yikes, Jill is getting dismantled by this ASV, and Niko Bellic doesn't exactly strike me as an ASV superstar. Looks like introducing her to the Xbox crowd boosted her in general but didn't help her day vote. So lucky she gets Samus at night (hot).

The RE day vote is still as bad as ever!

Are people realkly expecting Tidus to win? Let's break this down:

Tidus struggled with Shadow
Subby beat Master Chief.

Back then, Shadow put 45% on MARIO

^ That was a fluke, because it was the closest thing we'd even seen to a Mario-Sonic match.

I'm talking about which character "wins" the ASV in that match, if there can be such a winner.

40% on Auron is a lot more impressive than beating Master Chief.

Tidus/Sub-Zero will probably be a big flop just like most of the other hyped matches.

Wow, after Tidus/Subby, there's pretty much nothing promising until Terra/Revan. And even then I think Terra is a big favourite to win there.

Revan's the guru favourite there. And Phoenix/Jecht will be an interesting match right after Tidus/Subby.

Whoa, nice performance by Jill. Between this and Wesker, I'd wager we have pretty strong indicators of a REboost. I wonder if Leon can catch it?

(And also six Western characters flopping in five days how about that Western boost?)

I have Tidus easily beating Sub -- especially with Dissidia boost.

On top of that I don't know why people think Dante has a chance against Ryu? Dante is projected as being weaker than Ryu in the X-Stats to begin with (not to mention Ryu has gained major exposure since the last contest with SFIV, and it's likely that Dante has only dropped as it's been even longer since his last game.)

Why in the world would it be an upset for Ryu to beat Dante?

Bolded: Try again.

Regarding Ryu... He almost lost to an Auron that was being SFFed by Cloud. He rolled over against L-Block twice last contest.

08 X-stats has Charmander and Raw with Ryu > Dante. Sorry, just because yours don't follow their trends doesn't make it fact. 2 vs 1 majority rules.

Also, ignoring X-Stats. Ryu and Dante met once (Ryu decimated Dante), then in the following year they both lost to Sonic (Ryu looked much, much better.)

X-Stats are iffy at best, and they've never placed Dante very high above Ryu.

That said, Dante has only gotten weaker and Ryu will only have gotten stronger with SFIV, and SSFIV.
