Cloud/Sephiroth is encouraging. Cloud got 52% on Sephiroth back in 2003. Nowadays, Cloud is probably worth about 54% on Sephiroth, but in multiway polls he can put up 67%.

Now back in 2003 Magus put up 35% on Link, and Crono put up 37% the next year (against a stronger Link). It works out to Crono being worth about 57% on Magus back in 2003/4, when he got 70% after SFF in a direct match. By 2005, Crono was worth about 60% indirectly on Magus (through Vincent, Squall, and Knuckles). It's hard to say how much Crono is worth indirectly on Magus now, but probably well into the 60s.

I'm hoping Crono can 80/20 Magus next round, which he may need, as increasingly I'm realizing that 2008 suggests that Crono is only worth around 55% on Pikachu indirectly. The day match is problematic.

I was going to list Caim, but Drakengard didn't feel much like an RPG to me. Caim and Welkin would lose, maybe Nier too (Nier is in right?), but it's hard to picture many of them being even decent enough to beat the weaker JRPG guys in the contest. Shulk could possibly beat some, but I don't think I would take Dunban or Reyn over much of anybody because they just looked downright pathetic.

It wasn't a vote-in poll. It was a pre-contest poll between all of the 27-seeds. Missile finished last place in that poll, yet managed to get 2nd place in an actual match, so it's clear that Missile underperformed in that pre-contest poll due to a lack of pictures. Magikarp almost certainly overperformed because the voters don't need a picture to remind them who Magikarp is.

There are alot of fresh bloods and none of them showed some kind of power aside from the chacters from the popular series you mentioned (and 2-3 more)

Luvdisc is too jokey to be the weakest.

You need a newer Pokemon that has no appeal or likability to anyone.

Something like Klink or Klang.

You know, next contest we may get stellar next-gen characters such as "Delsin Rowe" and "Aiden Pierce" in the contest like we got Nathan Hale when the PS3 came out, ESEPCIALLY if it's newcomers only

if you thought Cole MacGrath was an unlikable turd, watch out!

god that game was so ignored that it took me a second to even remember what game you're talking about

they could theoretically be worse than Caim. Maybe not Tanner, but Caim-level sounds about right. They'd be like slightly stronger Jay Solano characters

what the hell were they thinking with Fuse?

I would like a HARD MODE settings for "new characters contest"
Make it from games/series that had no character from ever
It isn't as bad as it sounds!!
Advance Wars,Breath of Fire,Bastion,Cave Story,Chrono Cross (unless "Lavos" counts),Doom,Gex,Jazz Jackrabbit,Plants vs Zombies
And the biggest threat-Digimon
There are actually some strong characters from those game


Also looking at the new characters list it hit me that Bass never was in a contest before...like,what?
#389 | Xuxon | Posted 8/1/2013 11:03:14 AM | message detail
Serge has been in before

and imo that might have been an ok idea before this contest but we exhausted too many of them here

When has this ever not been the case? Fresh blood has always meant Nintendo and Square characters, and any attempt by Ceej or Bacon to get company diversity in for the sake of company diversity has been (rightly) criticized. If you don't like it that's fine, but no one's being hypocritical. My attitude and that of the stats topic has always been that strong characters trumps company diversity. Who cares if there's a lot of FF and Pokemon characters in?

Yeah, we're at the point where diversity is not worth it unless they come from a new game.

We've had 400 characters appear, at this point any new character not from a new game or strong series will either be fodder or terrible fodder.

Yep, it was originally called Overstrike I think and looked amazing and then it turned into Fuse. What a tragedy.

I remember when people defended the changes saying it'll still be great. Then the game came out and nobody talked about it.

Also, it got released like two weeks before Last of Us so it just got absolutely buried under that game's hype. Yes, Last of Us was a PS3-exclusive but I'm talking about the gaming world just advertising the hell out of it so everyone forgot about Fuse existing.
