I've got Revan winning with less than 55% because I'm a pansy who can't commit one way or the other.

Terra got the best non-sprite picture she could have gotten, so it could be an upset.

I was worried about the Revan > Terra pick until I saw him get Darth Revan in his name and light saber in the picture. Not so worried now.

What, did you think his poll option was going to say just "Revan" or something?

Even if we want to take this best, most recognizable Terra as being (super-optimistically) at Kefka 2010's level or even a little above, I'd have no doubt in Revan manhandling her. He should be a clear few tiers beyond HK-47, and he's historically looked more impressive than Kefka has. <_<

Revan being a tier or two above HK-47 is very, very possible.

How has that new game weak character theory been proven? Ezio looks pretty strong considering. If he beats Zelda, or even puts up a respectable performance, the theory goes out the window.

It's possible for Darth Revan > HK-47, sure -- I'm not against that. It seems unlikely that Revan's completely out of his league though considering how HK-47 made it into the contest right after SW:KotOR came out and several times afterward while Revan's just now getting into a contest thanks to the NRT. I know nominations = strength, but when a game first comes out you expect its fans to support their best character most in nominations. They went to HK first, then came back for more of him as far as nominations go. Don't bring up Sandal, either -- Bioware rallied that scrub in.

If he's really that strong, he shouldn't scare everybody with the fear of not having "Darth" or his weapon in his pictures when it comes to facing Terra.

Revan is a... special case. Were he not, he would have easily made it in over HK-47, and been a contest staple from then on out. That's cause for *some* worry, sure, but it's the virtue of his specialness that will contribute so much to his strength to begin with.

Darth, Lightsaber... these things are icing on the cake, really.

I'm gonna be mad if Auron beats her considerably worse than Squall and people blame it on her name instead of giving Auron credit.

Not that we could take such a comparison that seriously anyway since four-ways =/= one-on-one, but still!

if anything, this name should make her do better. she's been called Aeris in one game out of like 10 she's appeared in due to a mistranslation. Ever since 98 she's been Aerith in everything official.

Thats because SM64, one of the biggest, most successful, and revolutionary games of all time cemented her name as Peach.

Anyway, I hadn't thought about that.....perhaps I should raise my Auron prediction a little bit. The issue here is that people like FFVII more than the other games she's been in and I could see some people voting against "Aerith" for that reason.

You know, I don't think any stats topic regulars have won a contest since Ulti, though a bunch have come really close. I think we're overdue for a victory.

HAHAHAHAHA no. Letting SIMON BELMONT break 40% on you is utterly unacceptable if you're trying to beat down the likes of Zelda. And Ezio? More like "the jobber who couldn't even get 60% on frigging Simon Belmont", hahahaha!

To clarify for those that haven't played it, Revan is...

MAJOR KOTOR SERIES SPOILERS






...the main character of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.





END MAJOR SPOILERS

The question of his popularity now that he's in won't stem so much from how popular he will be specifically (because he is), but rather the staying power of KOTOR itself. Though HK-47 has held up alright over the years, so I have pretty high expectations.

Never played it either, but from what I understand.

SPOILERS






The main character has amnesia or something, and joins the rebels in their fight against someone named Darth Revan. That's why it's a big spoiler.

MAJOR KOTOR SPOILERS




The main character has no idea that he/she was until very recently a rather evil Sith Lord; everybody thinks Revan disappeared (and/or was killed by Darth Malak, the bad guy). The reveal that the player is actually Revan is fairly momentous.




END SPOILERS

With that said, I'd be surprised if Revan is stronger than HK.

If you believe old-school Final Fantasy has boosted from Dissidia she does. Also getting a green haired Terra picture is probably to her benefit.

It'll also help if you don't believe that Darth Revan is some hidden mid mid-card that is going to 60/40 HK-47 with ease.
