One of the biggest factors is there isn't a single Persona character everyone can really rally around. MC doesn't have a "Canon" name in the game, and each character has their own fanbases, but none of them really stand out as much stronger than the others. You might get someone like Chie in, but then the Rise and Yukiko fans will be mad and anti-vote her. Its a mess.

Isn't Aegis the poster child of P3?
#403 | transience | Posted 10/5/2011 5:46:13 PM | message detail
you don't even meet Aigis for like 20 hours. the only reason Aigis is notable is because Yukari sucks and Mitsuru's not much better.

not really, there really is no all time overall favorite from Persona 3 or 4, almost every character is quite liked by different people

... And the Protagonist is only in the first game leaving Aigis to take control in FES.

I would never consider anything from a game that lost to Civilization IV in the US over anything that has ever shown even the slightest glimmer of strength. I'd probably take Sheena over anything from Persona 3, let alone Lloyd or Aurion.

I assume that Cloud/Sephiroth is the easy favorite to win this contest?

(well that'll be cool as heck, me getting around to FFVII for the first time in a contest where the game's two most popular characters are absolutely wiping the floor with everyone else...)

I wouldn't say that, there's a lot of support for Link/Ganondorf.

I don't see people voting for Cloud/Sephiroth who wouldn't have voted for just one or the other, while I can see Cloud drawing Sephiroth's anti-votes. I don't think it'll be any different from Link vs. Cloud.

Oh yeah, forgot that anything Square is now an instant major anti-vote magnet. How times change.

It's more that Sephiroth gets flooded with anti-votes, and I don't see people going 'well I like Cloud but DESPISE SEPHIROTH so I'll vote for Cloud/Seph'.

I anti-vote Tifa not because she's a Square character, but because she used "retard" as an insult.

I don't see it unfolding the way you suggest either. I think there's more people who will vote for them collectively than anti-vote them collectively. I don't think their combined power is less than or equal to Cloud, in other words.

There aren't that many anti-voters, or Cloud/Seph wouldn't be strong characters at all. And those anti-voters are just about the most loyal voters there are. It'll be one and the same whether it's Cloud or Sephiroth or both to most of them.

Well, I think the group as a whole is weaker than yesterday's group, which may explain it.

If rivalries count holds true, Link/Ganon won't break 45% on Cloud/Seph.
#423 | transcience | Posted 10/5/2011 7:56:31 PM | message detail
GameFAQs is becoming less relevant as the Internet expands. hell, I go to YouTube for help over gamefaqs half the time. technology has just moved past simple text walkthroughs in a lot of ways.

it makes sense that traffic would nosedive. plus this contest is pretty niche and kinda unpopular.

Nah, Link/Ganon should be good for 45%. Link/Ganon is classic and iconic, after all. And it's incredibly difficult to ever break 55% on Link, Cloud, OOT, or FFVII. It's never happened in 1v1s. And it's only happened twice in 4-ways: the 2007 final and the 2008 final.

Based on the trends for Hitler, he would have finished second place even without the 4chan rallying. Hitler averaged 12.89% from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM, which puts him slightly above Katherine/Catherine. Hitler's lead on Katherine/Catherine has stalled around 1000 votes for about 5 hours now.

4chan didn't exactly try that hard here, but even when it was it was barely ahead of Big Boss/The Boss.

It's going to take the right opponent for them to have a chance IMO.

Or that Frog/Magus got enough on their own.

And that it got more than Crono/Magus, which is a relief.

I voted for Raziel and Kain, but I figured they'd do poorly. They've done poorly individually, sticking them together won't make them worth anything on this site unfortunately.

Also, bull. No one gives a crap about a giant monster, whether it's Sin or Lavos. Crono is just a lot stronger than any of these guys and will carry Lavos as far as he can with his own strength.
