13% is pretty good considering she's from a PSP game

She's basically Reimu Hakurei in terms of actual fanbase here. And I think she has nowhere to go but up considering bracket vote + board vote in favor of the other two.

Okay Kat gaining the most when pics are added is pretty amazing. GameFAQs likes their underage (?) voting options.

That's an insult to Reimu, she'd triple Kat in a 1v1 match.

14.34% is enough to be higher than the last four 3rd placers. This contest.

And looks like I overshot Shadow a fair bit, assuming he bleeds from here. Had him at 52%.

Leon/Wesker's picture is back up as well, and the one after that actually gives the correct 404 error as well.


The problem should be fixed now.

If Yu wasn't it this match, I'd give a pity vote to Kat. I liked the demo for Gravity Rush and if I ever got a Vita for whatever reason, I'd get that game.

Not sure if thats more or less impressive.

Er yeah that's what I meant, Vita. More impressive on that, too.

And Reimu vs Kat would be 100% decided on pic I'm sure. Neither one is known by the site well enough to win the vote through non pic related factors.

Also while the site is very Nintendo heavy, Sony fans are pretty stupidly loyal as well.
They're just not anywhere near numerous.

Another huge percentage gain for Kat. Seems like the picture helped her the most.

Obviously it's TJF, now let's try it with someone with actual jugs.

Nah, I'm pretty sure GameFAQs doesn't have that many people who played Persona 4 oddly enough. Which is just shameful, but whatcha gonna do?

...Hey, someone go rally the Atlus forums. It's not gonna change a thing but it'd be funny if we saw Yu spike and cut a hundred votes for one update before Shadow gets it all back over the next two.

Man the match is like 59-41 right now, it's not *that* much of a stretch to think a more identifiable main character could be making this more competitive.

I think the picture being easily identifiable should remove the WHO IS YU NARUKAMI factor for the most part. I don't think Yu with a default name is winning this.

Well yeah, but Yu has the problem of being a character who's at the forefront of a multimedia series instead of a purely videogame one at this point. Even the people who played Persona 4 don't realize how great he is because it mostly comes through in the anime and P4A. If P4 Yu was Animation Yu he'd probably be doing like six points better at the least.
#180 | KamikazePotato | Posted 7/29/2013 9:30:54 PM | message detail
The sad part is Yu would be doing better if Kat wasn't here. Even excluding the hilarious case of Vita overlap, his 'I hate Shadow' votes are probably getting neutered by there being a sorta-TJF option in the poll.

That's right. This is Shadow with an unfair advantage.

You can make him Animation Yu if you pick the appropriate dialogue choices.

And what's with all the surprise and disappointment over the current percentage spread? This is right about what I expected. It shows Yu is slightly weaker than Laharl, that Shadow is still an ok midcarder and that Kat doesn't have enough fans to make a dent in either.

I wonder how many of Kat's votes would go to Yu if she were removed. Something like 100%, right? As soon as Shadow dips below 50%, it means that he would lose to Yu in a normal match.

Odds are, fans of P4 already know about Persona 4 Arena and the anime, where they made Yu Narukami his canon name.

It'd be a different case if the Persona 3 MC was in and his name, Makoto Yuki, was used where it's not as widely known unless you know about the P3 movie.

Not going to lie, I loved P4G on the Vita and would have voted for Yu had he been paired against anyone but Kat >__>

Dat Vita overlap.

Persona 4 Arena Yu is actually my favorite iteration. P4Animation Yu is a bit too goofy for me, P4Arena Yu is exactly how I imagined the guy would be in Persona 4.

Well duh, you can't have any anime cutscenes of being Anime Yu (and the king's game addition was anime only). But his dialogue in some of the scenes comes straight from the game, so you can make him a sarcastic snark.

Nah even just the dialogue is really gutted. I don't doubt he rips some off but just the one clip I've seen it's pretty far off.

I mean, you can get the same basic idea, but it's no more the same character than Apollo Justice and Phoenix Wright are the same character.
