Link could be doubling Cloud at the freeze and I would not be the least bit surprised.

The new found Cloud Board Vote will not be denied! >_>

You might be wrong on this site, considering his fanbase will cheat for him to win a 4way against Martin Luther King, Pat Tillman, and their own mothers ("Your Very Own Mother" as an entrant).


That just shows how nice a fanbse can be: just dishonest enough to leave you with someone to hate instead of openly clarifying it's all legit! :P

I think the First Vote Contest guys are big Nintendo fans, and Link will just roll from there.

I participate in that contest, and I plan on voting for Cloud here.

I'd kinda be surprised if he wasn't at 61+% at the freeze.

Now, the anti-Mario fanbase, on the other hand...

Though I don't think it's possible for an anti-anything fanbase to actually be good.

Anyway, Mortal Kombat is easily the worst. I'm biased, but when Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe was announced, there were multiple people with collections worth thousands putting everything on eBay. Most of them proceeded to shout "WAS IT WORTH IT BOON?" afterward.

Gaiden, not sure of.

F-Zero, actually does have a good fanbase. Except with the whole Falcon Punch deal, other than that rather pleased and presentable.

More than the Cloud board vote which is still bad relative to the whole day, Link's first 30 seconds has been just horrible. He rose like 18% from the 100 vote mark to the freeze against Sonic, a huge number against Mario too.

FFIX fanboys are pretty good.


I don't know, I always see FFIX fanboys crying about how their game is underrated and they usually have negative things to say about VII, VIII, and X. In general the Final Fantasy fanboys from VI up are pretty bad. I-V fanboys are pretty cool though, due to there not being very many of them.
LeonhartFour | Posted 3/19/2010 10:17:14 PM | message detail
And yeah, FFXII's fanbase isn't exactly "chill." There's one FFXII fanboy in particular who completely derailed one of my FF Character Ranking topics when I ranked Vayne near the bottom.

But for what it's worth, his points were very well made and I respect his opinions.

How are Phoenix Wright fanboys not on this list?

My general perception of fanboys of the Ace Attorney series is that they're too busy fighting amongst each other as to who's the best character / which game is best / which case is best to give a damn about everyone who's never played it.

Ace Attorney's too niche a title to win contests, so you rarely see them riled when Phoenix or Edgeworth loses a match. It's far more likely to see the Edgeworth fanboys and the Phoenix fanboys fight amongst each other as to who's the best character, or fights among 1-4, 2-4 and 3-5 fanatics, or fights among those who liked and those who hated Apollo Justice, or fights between those who thought AAI was a step forward and those who thought AAI was a step back.
KamikazePotato | Posted 3/19/2010 10:18:33 PM | message detail
Actually, I trend I've seen is that the lighter the tone of the game is, the better the fanbase will be. Fans of a lighter-toned game don't feel the need to defend their game/characters nearly as hard.

If you're not "in" on the whole Phoenix Wright thing, it can be one of the worst fanbases around. Hell, I was into Phoenix Wrong for a while and I still get annoyed.

And yeah, I haven't seen many chill FFXII fans. I don't even click on the topics anymore at Neogaf.

It looks like that theory of "bandwagons are either very mild in 1v1 or don't form at all" was probably true. I thought Snake would boost at least somewhat, but that seem implausible right now.

Pretty much all the evidence - Snake, Missingno, Tifa - seems to indicate no real bandwagons of note this contest.

I'm still surprised that Missingno didn't boost more than a couple of points maybe for the Sephiroth match.

The only real 1v1 bandwagon we've ever seen was Starcraft, which was pretty mild really, and explained mostly by stuffing (which was much much easier back then).

that's natural though, it's also harder to "hate" games that are lighter-toned

usually its the "serious business" games that get the most hate (and naturally, the most hardcore fans as well)
