Morrigan got 69% on Spyro and 34% on Mario. That's not one outlier performance. Spyro's performance in 2007 would suggest pre-Halo 3 Master Chief would easily double Morrigan and that's if for whatever reason you believe she didn't drop harder than Spyro. --- Calintares made a whole lot of geolocation x-stats Congrats to Dr. Football for winning the Guru. |

From: PartOfYourWorld | #101 Okay, tell me why those characters are going to be non-fodder, sans Epona. I'll listen. --- http://img.imgcake.com/ultigardenpngba.png |

From: TheOceIot | #099 Yeah, I was pretty surprised that there was no Medal of Honor or Rock Band. Those are two of their staple series. From: red sox 777 | #100 Rufus Shinra or Reno would be a good option if we HAD to pick something from FF7. I think its time to finally let it rest though --- http://i28.tinypic.com/2ikrrpz.jpg http://i32.tinypic.com/2vtpbna.gif http://i27.tinypic.com/2gwb79h.gif http://i28.tinypic.com/2r3ld2r.gif |

I don't think Morrigan's dropped much at all. --- DFF |
vcharon | Posted 8/12/2010 9:13:20 PM | message detail |
I've
beaten OoT 3 or 4 times. Dark Link and (cough) Epona are the only
possible non-fodders from the game. That's just the facts. Zelda is not
a character driven series and everyone in that game is forgettable sans
Navi who you want to forget. --- Gamespot Villains NIT: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/55967092 :> |

I
have no idea if they'll be non-fodder or not, but they're from the
biggest game from the series that's been Brokebacking Final Fantasy on
this site for the last four years. One of them deserves one shot for
one year. --- Yoblazer: http://i29.tinypic.com/dqhyf5.jpg Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

From: KamikazePotato | #106 I don't know why anyone thinks this, to be honest. I don't think MvC3 will be worth what MvC2 was. And 2002 was a fluke contest in a lot of ways. Expecting a lot of the one-timers to do that well again is expecting...well, too much. --- "Spoil it for me.

I mean, you were just talking about how we should never support someone like Rufus Shinra, but yet we want Malon, Talon, or Saria in a contest? --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |

Did Mass Effect seriously lose the board vote against this pack of jabronskis? This board is really out of touch sometimes. Mass Effect only went up 0.23% on the second update, so I can't be sure on that one. It had 30.88% at the board vote, then jumped to 31.11%, and went back down to 30.90% on the third update. Going to have to wait a while to determine if Mass Effect won or lost the board vote. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ! |

I
never even mentioned those characters, you did. One of Epona or Dark
Link would have been preferable with me. And yes, Epona deserves her
shot a lot more than Rufus, FFVII entrant number ten. --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/5nw45i.jpg Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

Well, Leon, how about these characters? Nabooru Darunia Rauru Ruto Impa Mido Kaepora Gaebora Navi Happy Mask Salesman Gerudo 3rd in command who changes her clothes to match Link's. *tries to avoid the angry horde* Anyway, Saria, Malon, and the Great Deku Tree would not be fodder. They're from OOT, the strongest game on the site, they have major roles, and they're likable. We've never seen a fodder FFVII character with any importance (and we don't even know for sure that Zolom is fodder), and these days it looks like random pokemon #257 (no, I have no idea which pokemon that is) would not be fodder. So any OOT character with storyline importance should avoid being fodder. --- Crono > Sephiroth. 7 years of waiting, and perhaps many more to go. Remain steadfast. |
LeonhartFour | Posted 8/12/2010 9:17:46 PM | message detail |
From: PartOfYourWorld | #114 red sox did, actually. Not to mention the Great Deku Tree. But there's a pretty obvious reason why we're pushing FFVII #9 and not Zelda character #6. Virtually nobody in Zelda matters apart from the big three. And I'm nominating Epona, so don't give me any crap about this. --- http://img.imgcake.com/ultigardenpngba.png |

80% of Morrigan's strength comes from her design. She should be fine. --- DFF |
EcchiFanboy | Posted 8/12/2010 9:18:27 PM | message detail |
Malon
wouldn't be fodder if she got the teenage pic. Thats some serious TJF
there. The rest of the characters, though.. meh. Epona would be solid. --- http://i28.tinypic.com/2ikrrpz.jpg http://i32.tinypic.com/2vtpbna.gif http://i27.tinypic.com/2gwb79h.gif http://i28.tinypic.com/2r3ld2r.gif |

From: KamikazePotato | #117 Do we really think TJF is a major factor anymore? She'd have a hard time outdoing Ivy Valentine, I think. --- Please sign up to support the 2010 Nomination Rally Tournament winners! http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/55967577 |

But
there's a pretty obvious reason why we're pushing FFVII #9 and not
Zelda character #6. Virtually nobody in Zelda matters apart from the
big three. Well, that's actually the primary reason I want to get OOT characters in- that's what we've thought for years, but there's never been a chance to test it, as Zelda side-characters other than Ganon and Zelda (and Tingle, ugh) have never made the contest. --- Crono > Sephiroth. 7 years of waiting, and perhaps many more to go.

Midna, too. Granted, I'm not a Zelda fanatic, but why would Malon, Talon, or Saria be stronger than Midna? --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |

most video game characters strengths from their character design? Ryu

Ryu is the main character of the most popular fighter on the site. It has nothing to do with his design, but rather his role. --- Gamespot Villains NIT Contest: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/55967092 :> |

The Female Bracket shouldn't be used for anything. A lot of characters under/overperformed in it for absolutely no reason. --- DFF |

Servbot
did that well because it was the first match ever, and people felt like
being silly. By Round 2 everything was pretty standard, at least by
2002 measures. --- DFF |

And who's to say they weren't in Morrigan's favor? I thinks she'll be weaker, but you guys going "god who cares about Darkstalkers" are missing the point of why she did well in the first place. --- DFF |

I'm not sure if they would be, but if they are, it'd be because OOT >>> TP. Let's compare with Final Fantasy: TP is probably the 3rd strongest Zelda game, while FFVI is probably the 3rd strongest FF game. How many characters from FFVII would beat the strongest FFVI character? Cloud, Sephiroth, Vincent, Tifa, Aeris, Zack, Cid.....that's 7 at least, and there's probably more. You could say that FFVIII is the 3rd strongest FF game, but then, Squall is way more important to FFVIII than Midna is to TP. How many OOT characters could beat the 4th most important character in TP? Quite possibly a lot. I would take Great Deku Tree over Midna with a fair amount of confidence. Not sure who I'd take in Saria/Malon vs. Midna. --- Crono > Sephiroth. 7 years of waiting, and perhaps many more to go. Remain steadfast. |

From: KamikazePotato | #147 Could've nominated Chunners. But seriously, you're really overestimating Morrigan's chances.

2002
is just really really different from now. The first 3 rounds of 2002
are even dramatically different from the latter rounds, just look at
how the votals exploded during the contest. --- Crono > Sephiroth. 7 years of waiting, and perhaps many more to go. Remain steadfast. |
