Okay,
I saw the x-stats and...Gordon Freeman breaks 33% on Sephiroth!
Pre-contest I estimated him to be worth about 30% on Samus, so he
actually ends up impressing! *keep dreaming, kid.* |

Also, assuming 2k6 Sonic is at about 35%, looks like Kirby and Bacondorf through Luigi fairly accurately predicts this. Looks like we can take 3 things from this match: - Sonic retains his claim as the ass-end of the Noble Nine - Kirby was HORRIBLY overrated last year - Ganondorf has continued his downward spiral for whatever reason --- "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" - trancer1 |

It's either one of two things: -Sonic is the weakest Noble Nine member -Sonic is a Nintendo character and being SFFed into oblivion by the king --- :> |

I think we can rule out SFF, given we've seen Mega Man X solidly outperform Sonic on Link. I eagerly await the butthurt Sonic fanboy damage control over that one. --- "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" - trancer1 |

TheOneAboveAll | Posted 3/17/2010 6:57:19 AM | message detail |
I
just realized that if both the Snake and Samus upsets happen, then
second place probably won't break 40% on Link, and might barely get
35%. This makes Luigi and Thrall look amazing. |
HaRRicH | Posted 3/17/2010 6:58:16 AM | message detail |
Sonic's gonna go under 30% again, I'm pretty sure, especially with that last update...brutal. Wyoming's still making the poll WYOMING'D, too. That state's a rebel. --- Picking Auron > Squall was dumb, but not as dumb as thinking I could beat Leonhart! Keep on smilin'! http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/8863/72571365.jpg |

want to laugh at Sonic as much as everyone but I can not accept this
not being an under performance for whatever reason. It's just.... too
ridiculous --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

Link would hit at least 71% in a 24-hour match today, with 72% not being completely out of reach. --- 2010 Extrapolated Standings: Crono gets 46.85% on Sephiroth. All you need now is KH3 or SSB4, Crono. Then your quest shall be fulfilled! |

Link got bored of allowing us to entertain the idea that there might be some minuscule chance of Cloud possibly upsetting him. --- ~*Amunt David Villa: The Best *~ ~* Valencia CF*~ |

Oh yeah, here comes the Link morning vote. --- :> |
Draco1214 | Posted 3/17/2010 7:06:09 AM | message detail |
Oh, I forgot Luigi got SFF'd hard. So yeah, Sandal still ends up likely the weakest thing in the bracket. Still...is Liquid worth less than 20% on Link based on this result? --- No match for KrahenProphet's extreme Guru skills. |
SecksThaNemesis | Posted 3/17/2010 7:09:55 AM | message detail |
Y'know,
while I'm wary of using a match like this to gauge Snake/Sephiroth
based on parallels weaker than Crono/Vincent trends, this match has a
pretty bad implication for Snake. SFFed Sonic isn't weaker than SFFed
Luigi (...no, really... he isn't), so this is about more than just SFF.
Link isn't getting hit with the antivote hammer against Sonic here,
very likely because Sonic is being given enough respect that
traditional Link voters aren't risking giving him a pity vote.
Ironically, of course, this makes Sonic look like more of a joke than
ever, but if antivotes aren't out in full force when a legitimate
character comes to contend that makes Snake's path through Sephiroth
steeper. I was thinking about this, but I honestly didn't think it would be taken seriously if I talked about it. I mean not that it wouldn't have just been damage control on my part but still. >.> --- *ExThaNemesis* |
Lightning Strikes | Posted 3/17/2010 7:11:33 AM | message detail |
This is clearly SFF. Yes, Mega Man X resisted it OK, but the thing is, people actually like
X. On the other hand, how many people still like Sonic after his recent
disgraces? Moreso than Link? Ultimately what determines how badly
someone is SFF;d is how well-liked the character is relative to the
other guy. |

EternalxCourage | Posted 3/17/2010 7:12:47 AM | message detail |
Oh
please. You can't compare Link to Sephiroth. Link doesn't get
anti-voted except by a couple people on this board. And even then it's
very miniscule. Do you really think that Link fanboys would waiver for even a moment? --- The ultimate Snow fanboy - Curt Yeah...it probably is. But I've got to do something, right? |
SecksThaNemesis | Posted 3/17/2010 7:13:11 AM | message detail |
That said, I really
don't think you have to worry about Sephiroth not getting anti-voted. I
mean it's likely that plenty of the Tifa voters are going to vote
Sephiroth tomorrow, but I think it's going to be extremely close...
which is why I am rallying at my job. And on facebook. And with all my
friends. >.> --- *ExThaNemesis* |

If the random casuals on this board during the contest season are a true
representation of all casuals, then yes they are blind to the fact Link
always wins. It's "FF7 always wins" and Cloud/Sephiroth get anti-voted
as a result, whereas Link largely does not. --- :> |
Draco1214 | Posted 3/17/2010 7:15:03 AM | message detail |
Honestly,
Thrall and Alucard only did as well as they did because of the night
match. Had it been 24 hours, or worse, a day match, Link would've
dished out some horrible pain. So no, I don't think Link gets
anti-voted to any serious detriment, especially not like the FF7 crew. --- No match for KrahenProphet's extreme Guru skills. |
vcharon | Posted 3/17/2010 7:15:18 AM | message detail |
And Link reaches 70% exactly. --- :> |
Lightning Strikes | Posted 3/17/2010 7:17:06 AM | message detail |
I'll
add that this also applies to Luigi-A lot of Nintendo fans really like
him, so Link doesn't completely kill him-he got SFF'd, but less so than
Sonic. Sonic is still well known enough to get voted from people who
don't know or like the other guy, but against someone they do like
Sonic's screwed, and is as such very vulnerable to SFF |
red sox 777 | Posted 3/17/2010 7:18:17 AM | message detail |
Link is
getting anti-voted, just look at the first update. Now, he's not
getting anti-voted nearly as hard as Cloud or Sephiroth, but it does
exist. And the existence of anti-votes is a good thing for Seph as far as his previous performances are concerned, because the closer a match gets to 50/50 the less anti-votes matter. --- 2010 Extrapolated Standings: Crono gets 46.85% on Sephiroth. All you need now is KH3 or SSB4, Crono. Then your quest shall be fulfilled! |
MagusMuddlefoot | Posted 3/17/2010 7:19:24 AM | message detail |
I wonder how many people anti-vote Sonic based on how horrible his games are nowadays? I can see it now. "THIS is for Sonic Heroes!" *Votes for Link.* "THIS is for Sonic Unleashed!" *Votes for Link again.* "And THIS is for Sonic 2006!" *Votes for Link a dozen times.* |
Lightning Strikes | Posted 3/17/2010 7:24:33 AM | message detail |
Extha Nothing to worry about. Sephiroth looked bad against Tifa, but better than Snake did against Pikachu. Given that we saw from Yoshi that Snake isn't affected THAT much by sprites, we now must ask: Is Pikachu stronger than Tifa? Is rSFF that much weaker than Snake's pic? Has Sephiroth given consistent performances at last round's level? The answer to those is, if you ask me, "no". You'll be fine, I'm rooting for you. UNLESS If Samus upsets Cloud... Then what happens? |
LinkMarioSamus | Posted 3/17/2010 7:33:18 AM | message detail |
Some
people also believe that Pikachu benefits from getting his sprite...but
I wouldn't bet on it. Seph > Snake seems etched in stone, but
then...okay, I recall the x-stats had Freeman barely escaping a
doubling from Sephy, and if Sephy beats Snake then Gordon Freeman >
Fox. Doesn't make much sense given what we've seen of the last few
contests, but then again Freeman probably does get around what Fox got
on Sora last year. If 2006 Tifa = 2009 Tifa then Freeman must've
boosted since then, especially because of how terrible Sora looked in
this contest. Okay, so... Fox = 44% on Sora Bowser = 52% on Sora (surely he wouldn't be able to shave off more than 2% with the ASV, right?) No wait, Freeman would definetely break 40% on Bowser, and that means he would approach around Fox's percent on Sora. So okay, Freeman > Fox, HL2 is a strong game, yadda yadda yadda. Off Topic: I just saw GamePro's Top 28 Wii Games list, and Brawl was...8th. As much as I think Brawl is overrated at this site, it's definetely one of the 5 or 6 best games on the Wii, no question. And guess what the top 2 were, and guess the order too. |

Samus has no chance against Cloud. I don't think Snake is stronger than Sephiroth, but with the toolbox anti-votes that happen now, he could make it a lot closer than I'd like. --- *ExThaNemesis* |
