This result makes Ike a decent mid-card (When compare to Luigi/Shadow)

Same with Zidane.

Squall is just below the bottom of the NN, so close that he probably beats Crono and Sonic outright and probably gets like 48% on Mega Man.

Luigi – 50.00%
Ike - 42.75%
Zidane Tribal - 41.08%
Amaterasu – 40.41%
Shadow the Hedgehog – 38.32%


Looks pretty good to me. Alucard again looks good.

It still amazes me that Amatasterasu is actually a decent competitor in these contests. A culty game and a name that noone can spell, I figured she would be closer to Tales characters than to an FF lead (albeit a lame and weak one)

Why would Sonic be weaker than Mega Man? If Squall can beat Sonic he can beat Mega Man, unfortunately Squall is probably just below Mega Man (and definitely can't beat Sonic).

Never played Okami. Still know how to spell it easily.

Fact/Fiction: Zack Fair wins at least one hour tonight!

Fiction. He might win a couple updates, but he won't get close to winning an hour.
Fiction. Yoshi/Missingno will be. Missingno is the kinda character I think will only have enough outside support to win, but not easily win. So I think it can be a 51-49% if not closer.

Fact. Zack got 57% from 5 to 6 on Mario in a match he lost 51-49, and Megaman is horrible with the deep night/early morning, worse than Mario.

Fact, I'll guess for the other one.

I'd guess Zack isn't too far off from Cid, so he'll be lucky to even get close to 40% here... and winning an hour in a 40% match is a TALL order.

I consider Zack closer to the Aerith/Cid tier than the Tifa/Vincent tier, myself.

Zack is considerably stronger than Cid I think. I don't know where Cid got all this 'fan favourite' business from, even Barret is better than him. Doesn't help that Cid is one of the last chars. to join the party, and he doesn't have any 'bishonen' appeal to him. FFVII hierarchy goes something like this:

Cloud > Sephiroth >>> Tifa = Vincent >> Zack > Aeris > Cid Highwind

Aeris (2007c) VS Yuna (2007c)

Aeris has a strength of 28.31.
Yuna has a strength of 25.23.

Aeris wins with 55.44% of the vote!
A win of 14,052 with 129,159 total votes cast.


Lol 4way stats, but I think its interesting how close their matches were... Zack got like 3% more, and Aerith was about even with Cid in the vote in poll. So I don't think theres a large gap in strength between them. I think Zack is the strongest of that tier, but I still think they are all part of that mid card/high midcard tier, and not the near elite tier that Vincent and Tifa are part of.

Quote Why would Sonic be weaker than Mega Man? If Squall can beat Sonic he can beat Mega Man, unfortunately Squall is probably just below Mega Man (and definitely can't beat Sonic).


63% on Cid > 61% on pre-FF13 Lightning. Sonic only managed 67% on a weak-ass Knuckles with the help of SFF. Losing to WCC with Zero in the poll > Losing to Auron and Kirby with noone hurting him.

And let's not forget that really impressive sprite round match against Samus in 2007 (albeit with Yoshi sharing the poll) compared to Sonic almost losing to Sub-Zero and an SFF'd Squall.

Face it, Sonic is the ass end of the Noble Nine unless Missigno lays an egg (lol) against Yoshi

Aeris and Yuna probably aren't that far apart. What has Aeris done since that Sonic match in 2003 to show she has indirect strength? Given how bad Squall/Sora beat her, it's pretty clear Aeris is a midcarder, about where Yuna would be.

He may break 40%, but I doubt he gets much above that. Mega Man in no pushover. I'm not even sure I'd take Auron to get 45% on Mega Man.

Although I guess it depends on where you put Mega Man. Personally I don't see him at his older popularity; I still think he's going to pull the same thing he did in 2006.

MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 2/21/2010 2:49:17 PM | message detail
I put him as the strongest of the bottom 3 of the Noble Nine. I think at this point he'd easily beat both Sonic and Crono... he hasn't had the same apparent drop or embaressments the last couple years they have. His biggest embaressment was losing to the Cube, but at least he had a legit reason with Zero in the same poll.. Sonic and Crono don't have those kinds of excuses to fall back on.

Being perfectly consistent with where he was in 2005? I thought after Sora proved himself in the 4-ways that all this "Mega Man dropped in 2006" nonsense would stop.

HaRRicH | Posted 2/21/2010 3:06:21 PM | message detail
Zack should break 40% on Mega Man. I don't know how much higher than that he'll go, but Zack beat Yuna like Auron beat Aeris and Zelda in 2006 suggests Yuna/Aeris equals. I don't think that's exactly the case since there's no way I'm taking Yuna to beat Aeris and I think 2007's stats back me up (though really, four-way stats like that should hardly be counted on), but they shouldn't be far apart either. If Auron is on or close to Mega Man's level, Zack can only be so much further behind than that. Throw in that Zack broke 30+% on Link three rounds in a row from 2008, and yeah, Zack's gonna look fine.

Unless you think 2008 isn't representative of his strength and he SFF'd Yuna in what should have been a close match...but come on.
