Over
the first 12 hours in PW/Geno/Deckard, Bowser had 43.27% of the vote.
The rest of the match, he got 46.85%. That gives Bowser nearly 54% on
his night self! Unfortunately, PW is probably the most unbalanced character ever. This is the guy that was even with Magus through half an hour, and STILL lost 57-43. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!!

From: Not_Wylvane | #098 Yes but. Ganondorf's presence in TP is noticeably "tacked-on." Bowser, on the other hand, has been used exhaustively in all the recent Mario RPG games (including Bowser's Inside Story). I guess you can argue that the overall popularity of the Mario RPG series is questionable, yet that doesn't change the fact that Bowser's gotten considerably more screen-time than Ganondorf. --- "I do read sometimes."

I'd take Bowser > charizard, I can't see the majority of nintendo fans siding with char.. It's like mario vs samus --- hmmmmmmmm |

You
know, if you still assume that Mewtwo >= Midna in 2008, Sora beats
Sonic with 51.13% of the vote based on Ganon's current percentage on
Sonic! I think that's far enough above Bowser to be safe! --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

From: LeonhartFour | #503 I on the other hand am trying to use the most reasonable numbers possible. Bowser is more day oriented, but not nearly as much as Sora if you go look back at his match. Sora is one of the most unbalanced (the most unbalanced?) high midcard or above character we have. It's just ridiculous with him. His day vote is Godzilla-stomp-Tokyo level. His night vote is Godzilla Jr. blowing smoke circles level. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Charizard
doesn't have much of a chance against Bowser OR Sora, I don't think. He
only beat Kratos with 54.5%, and both Bowser and Sora would easily
outdo that. --- If you're seeing this sig, I'm not on my computer! |

We
really need to see Crono vs. Sora in a 24-hour match, so we can see
Crono build a 15,000 vote lead and then have Sora cut off a couple
thousand with the ASV anyway. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!! Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 3: Megaman X |

Leon,
your persistence is admirable, but Bowser really does have every
advantage going in. He's got the big timeframe advantage and a mild
picture advantage. I'm just pulling numbers here, but for Sora to beat
him at night, wouldn't he have to put a good 53-54% on him during the
day? I'm just not sure if he's that much stronger than Bowser. My money
is on Bowser, but it's been on Bowser the last two contests and he's
****ed it up both times. Third time's a charm, chump! --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/ml36gl_th.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

No
argument about Ganondorf being tacked-on to TP. And while Bowser does
get a huge amount of his development from the Mario RPGs, most people
haven't really played them (which is a damn shame) so they don't really
know the development Bowser gets in them (which is basically how much
of a pathetic crybaby Bowser is, though I haven't played M&L3 yet). Between Ganondorf having a slightly larger presence in his main series and his main series being the most popular on the site, I'd still go Ganondorf > Bowser enough that I don't think the pic would affect the overall outcome. --- Not Wylvane |

From: KleenexTissue50 | #109 Yeah, but that's not factoring in Poke-launch day or any type of momentum he may pick up after stomping L-Block. I wouldn't be worried about Sora/Charizard if not for those intangibles. --- Yoblazer: http://i29.tinypic.com/dqhyf5.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Oh,
and to compare against his full day self, using the Fox/Yoshi/Squall
match Sora (Full) gets 52.93% against Sora (Night). Using
Cloud/Squall/Mewtwo he gets 53.43%. So basically Sora has to be able to get maybe 53% on Bowser in a full day match to win (unless I screwed up the math logic, which I may have). Which again is quite possible, just tough. And the sprite pic doesn't bode well for him either. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Crono/Vincent/Squall/Tifa/Auron would be getting.....53-56% here. Auron got just under 54% last year. The night match favors all of them over Sonic, while it hurts Ganondorf a little. None of them have the handicap of Bacondorf of course. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!! Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 3: Megaman X |

Right
now I'd say Vincent/Squall/Auron would 50/50 Sonic in a 24-hour match,
but the variance is high because the data we have is outdated. Either
Sonic or the Square characters may win comfortably. But I think it'd be
real close. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

His three best hours all came in the last four hours (and so did his worst, but whatever).

Crono/Vincent/Squall/Tifa/Auron Tifa >_> really? She's a decent bit weaker than those others imo.. I mean, she scored like 4% worse on sonic in 2k6 than vincent.. or w/e year it was. --- hmmmmmmmm |

Tifa's the real deal, son! She's gonna prove it against Sephiroth! Actually, I think she's just a step below the rest of those guys, but not much. Just enough to where she doesn't beat any of them, but she gives them a good match. --- "Spoil it for me.

That
was before KH2. It's been really hard to tell how strong she is since
then, because first the Female Bracket happened (LOL 49% on Samus) and
then she missed a contest and then got fed to Sephiroth. There's been a
number of matches pointing at Tifa being very close to Vincent, though
it wouldn't be surprising if she weren't (in either direction). --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!! Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 3: Megaman X |
HaRRicH | Posted 3/5/2010 10:21:09 PM | message detail |
Welcome back to respectability, Sonic. We've missed you. I feel good about Sonic beating Kirby right now. Ganon has pretty much always been stronger than Kirby when he's not band-wagoned and Kirby wasn't that great against Rikku (don't expect him to impress against Vivi in eleven hours, either). Sonic and hindsight is showing us that one of our old theories is true: four-ways were terrible to Sonic Team. Kirby will have an advantage over Ganon by having a day-match instead of losing a lot of his support in a night-match, but Sonic's generally (at least formerly) strong enough with the day-vote that it shouldn't make a killer difference. I wonder if the Sonic-games would have done any better if BGE2 was one-on-one. Probably not since Sonic 2 bombed in BGE1, but it's a fun thought now that five years have past. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |
