So many people that don't understand other people have different experiences than they do!


Some experiences are hard to relate to

It's not hard to relate to someone not playing Persona 4 or Gravity Rush (or that Shadow is cool!)

Weren't we all saying something similar for N, being "it's a freakin Pokemon character against Bayonetta"? On the one hand, you could say that Bayonetta is probably a bigger name on this site than Tekken or Dynasty Warriors, on the other hand recent characters like Groose have bombed all contest so far without exception.

Heck, what about Midna vs. Scorpion back in 2007 - Zelda right after a major game release vs. Mortal Kombat at its least popular time!


I think the difference here is that nobody really has any faith in Groose's opponents. I think most people here would pick Bayonetta over Groose, but Groose's competition here isn't that stellar, though there's still a good possibility one of them will win.


Well picking Groose just because he's from Zelda just feels wrong. He probably does win though, if only due to color stand-out or something...I dunno.

Yoshimitsu still feels like he should be the most recognizable character in that match though, and it's a character in a long-running series vs. a character in a 2011 game that has kinda divided fans.

Also N and Groose sound like a kind of similar deal, being fan-favorites from the most recent games in this site's top two franchises (yes I'm assuming Pokemon > FF with no reason to back it, and shut up I know that Black & White is technically not the most recent Pokemon game).

Also I just realized that assuming a constant Magus from 2003 to 2010, 2003 Link is on the same level as...2010 Kirby.

What happened to Link back then, we'll never know. Heck, for all we know Samus could have been worth 45% on him before SFF back then.

2k3 was weird in a lot of ways. Look at f***ing Magus.

Hell, I wonder if 2003 Link really was weaker than his other iterations. His only non-SFF matches that contest were Magus and Cloud, and he looked like a chump for both of those.

Also, ten years later, after all the wonderful 90% blowouts we've seen, it's hilarious that the two 90% matches we had so far were from Mewtwo and Zidane.


Getting 90% on a character in a multiway poll is much easier than getting 90% of the vote.

This is about what I expected from Shadow. There's probably a decent contingent of the site that simply would not vote for him. Those votes have to go somewhere.

yeah i should have picked Kat higher for that sole reason


No, you should've picked Kat higher because she's got boobs. Seriously, female fodder generally hasn't been getting crushed as badly as male fodder has.

Worst percentages thus far.
1. Chester 3.51% -- male
2. Spring Breeze Dancin' 5.26% -- male
3. Caim 6.69% -- male
4. Commander Keen 8.48% -- male
5. Yuri Hyuga 10% -- male
6. Senator Steven Armstrong 10.33% -- male
7. Dunban 10.61% -- male
8. Welkin Gunther 10.76% -- male
9. Frank West 10.86% -- male
10. Alan Wake 11.01% -- male

There's the top 10, or perhaps the bottom ten. All male. #11 is female, but lacks TJF--it's Peacock, who is apparently something like 9 years old. You have to go to #14 to find an actual grown female, Jade from BG&E, and then there's no more TJF in the top 20.

You're making a pointless and irrelevant assumption. There is no overlap from year to year. Finding who was constant the most might make comparisons easier, but it's also irrelevant. If you assume a constant Magus, then the whole field got a lot weaker. If you assume a constant Link, then most of the field got stronger while isolated characters (like Crono) got weaker. If you assume a constant Pikachu, then the field is much stronger now than it was then. Assuming a character stays constant might have its uses, but it is ultimately a pointless endeavor. If 2003 Link=2010 Kirby, then 2010 Kirby would have beaten every 2003 character except for Cloud and maybe Sephiroth and 2010 Link would have basically 70/30d the entire 2003 field, NN included. It might be fun and silly, but it's entirely irrelevant.

2002 Link was the weakest or Link didn't SFF Mario in the finals.

Link was getting stronger until 2006 (2007/2008 might be stronger, at least constant) before dropping in 2010 and likely now.

Right. And my point was that your curiosity is misplaced. Not only because assuming anyone stays constant is silly and irrelevant, but because it's clear that Magus is a ton weaker now (both relative to the field and himself) than he was then.

Well there are also 24 females out of 126 so far so..yeah (and that includes Jigglypuff and Glados as females..and Epona too)
Or 25 out of 129 including this match
So yeah...there is a not fair male-female ratio anyway
