Also,
non-white protagonists, plural? Who else was there? From my
understanding, Tenpenny isn't a protagonist, so I'm not sure if you
mean him or not. --- "The great GF...Dr_Football." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |

Here
comes the ASV. 14-17 got its first cut against 18-20 on the last update
(about 1 minute ago). I probably expect 14-17 to outright win the ASV
over 18-20, since it managed 3 cuts in the morning and that time period
is a very watered down version of the ASV. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

Wait, Niko's not white? He looks white to me. Besides, it's not like Tommy Vercetti did any better the last time we saw him. Getting doubled by Yuna and 60% on PaRappa? I think this is more of a case of "GTA isn't popular here" than RacistFAQs, and it's been that way since 2005. --- "The great GF...Dr_Football." "...GF? I...?

see that the Asia vote is extremely young. Would be interesting to see
how they vote in something like a favorite FF poll, and if it makes any
difference or not. --- Dr Football and Snake have won this round, but Sephiroth will rise again! |

you can't nom Dark Link without throwing something Dark Samus' way. --- Dr_Football wrecked my bracket with his awesome goals. |

I don't care for Dark Samus. I didn't like Metroid Prime. SA-X is cool, though. --- (|| ' ' ||) Not changing my sig until EBA2/Ouendan 3 is announced. (4/22/08) . /|_|\ http://imgcake.com/img/40/all_eba.jpg |

*Major Metroid Prime 2 Spoilers* If Sheik is not eligible, I don't see why Dark Samus would be. Although I suppose you could just nominate Metroid Prime and give it Dark Samus pictures. --- "Wake me. When you need me."--Master Chief Dr. Football beat Yesmar in the 2010 Guru Contest! |

I
wish Bacon would allow Sheik. She's by far the most interesting
character left that hasn't been in a contest yet.......I really think
she could be at high near-elite level, or even above multiple Noble
Niners. --- Dr. Football was not stopped by any of us, and won the Guru Contest. |

You could
make an argument for Tetra at least. Bacon would probably just ignore
it anyway, but there's at least a logic that could be argued there,
since she is Tetra first. --- "Wake me. When you need me."--Master Chief Dr. Football beat Yesmar in the 2010 Guru Contest! |

I
don't see Sheik being a Noble Nine caliber character. I think she could
excel Zelda's level, but I doubt it'd be by very much and there's a
chance she'd be weaker. --- "Spoil it for me. I'm never going to play that game so I want to know if he's going to be another Auron or another Sin." - Dr_Football |
vcharon | Posted 3/29/2010 7:13:27 PM | message detail |
Sheik
could beat Zelda, but it's a long shot. Design wise obviously Sheik is
a lot better looking and all, but as "Zelda" she retains the name
factor. --- :> |
Cyclo_Reaper | Posted 3/29/2010 7:14:20 PM | message detail |
And
I think Sox is greatly overestimating Shiek. Midcard is about what I'd
expect out of her... Only one game. And she's kinda like a version of
Midna from TP, and if Midna was in OoT, theres no way she'd be a NN
level character. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png Albion Hero is the Cream of Dr_Football fanboyism |

From: Cyclo_Reaper | #431 I meant that Sheik looks "cooler" and therefore has a lot of appeal, design wise. --- :> |
red sox 777 | Posted 3/29/2010 7:16:25 PM | message detail |
Sheik
feels like OOT's Vincent to me. Actually, just based on the games,
without any knowledge of Vincent's contest performance, I'd guess Sheik
would be stronger relative to OOT than Vincent relative to FFVII, and
since OOT is a little stronger than FFVII, that gives her more of an
edge. Of course I'd probably have guessed both to be weaker than
Vincent's actual strength, but I'd be terrified if Crono had to face
Sheik. --- Dr. Football was not stopped by any of us, and won the Guru Contest. |
Magic8Squall | Posted 3/29/2010 7:17:26 PM | message detail |
I think Vincent being playable would help him out a lot more. I'd never take Sheik to beat Vincent. --- "Spoil it for me. I'm never going to play that game so I want to know if he's going to be another Auron or another Sin." - Dr_Football |

Sheik has no chance of being stronger than Zelda. Zilch. People are underestimating how much that name really means. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |
LeonhartFour | Posted 3/29/2010 7:32:30 PM | message detail |
From: Karma Hunter | #440 Which is the main reason I'd hesitate to give Sheik much of a chance to be stronger than Zelda herself. Sheik would have a slight chance since she's pretty prominent in OoT and SSB, but I don't think she would be. --- "The great GF...Dr_Football." "...GF? I...?

Yes,
this is the 897th stats topic. There's a link to the archive in the
first post (I think a couple of the topics from the first few years are
missing, and the newest topics may or may not have been uploaded to the
archive yet). --- Dr. Football was not stopped by any of us, and won the Guru Contest. |

I
asked Bacon about Sheik awhile ago, and he said she's not eligible --
and on top of that, the best she can do is the background in a Zelda

but
really, its for the best to not let Shiek in. Once Shiek gets in, whats
stopping Dr. Mario, different versions of Link, Pliskin (sp) from MGS2,

Full list of updates for the age poll: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AgBWiYjlMLwYdHFuUHhDdTY3UUhDV1dScTdaVXJVVlE If you want to see an ASV comeback, check out the Lead 2 (14-17 coming back on 18-20) and the Lead 5 (10-13 coming back on 31-35) columns. 18-20 got a peak lead of 8003 and 14-17 could only get it down to 7070 before the SNV started kicking in. Couldn't quite cut 1000 votes there. Trend charts: http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/729/agepolltrends.png http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/9601/agepollhourlytrends.png As for the voting period trend chart goes: 14-17 did alright in the board vote and first hour, but bombed the night vote. It did better in the morning, then dropped off in the later part of the morning until the ASV could kick in. 18-20 got the board vote and it was so dominant with the early vote that it had nothing to do but drop all day. 18-20 has the classic L-Block trends. 21-25 had a strong night vote, weak day vote. 26-30, 31-35, 36-40, and Over 40 were more morning oriented than night oriented. Their early votes were terrible. Those groups of people are heavily represented by the working class here. 10-13 had the same general trends that 14-17 had. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |
