Denzokuken posted... Let's all hope this is a Mass Effect rally.... lol. ME characters seem to have risen and risen as the match goes on, so I'm afraid this match might be over. I wonder...is there a rally on the ME subreddit yet? |
Aeris gains again. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
if the home page lists it as aeris rather than some other name nobody recognises she's 1500 votes ahead by now, just saying --- Jon Thomson - HKP: 179, 180's: 16, top kill: 160 congrats supernicedog |
But yeah, Aerith is dying over here. Get it Dying She's literally dying over here. Why aren't you laughing, do you not get the joke or something, I said she's dying in this match. Dying!

How many schools are in session by August 19th, anyway? We could potentially be having a good ASV today --- http://i.imgur.com/lnKB0m9.jpg http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1184880/davis-again.gif http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8118/8656607511_94178dbf2e_o.gif |

That
Link match last night really made me happy. It really is awesome that
my favorite character is the strongest one on this site, that so many of
us support the same hero. RESPECT for my fellow Link fans. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif |

Okay, Aeris, that's enough. can we get back to shepard cutting now --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
I didn't vote for Aeris because they spelled her name wrong. --- Game collection: http://postimage.org/gallery/1tqkmeku/ |
jakethenoob posted... I didn't vote for Aeris because they spelled her name wrong. If anyone spelled her name wrong, its the translation team for the original game. Square has officially made it Aerith since. --- http://i.imgur.com/lnKB0m9.jpg http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1184880/davis-again.gif http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8118/8656607511_94178dbf2e_o.gif |

Clearly Aeris would be at 50% right now instead of struggling to beat Shepard like this Aerith chick! --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |

RESPECT for my fellow Link fans. Never voted against Link except one day in the Battle Royale*, never planning to. Respect. That being said, I couldn't care less if Link wins or not (I have him losing in my bracket so hopefully he doesn't), cause I mean, it's just a popularity contest. *And the Santa Claus match --- "What's the matter with bootblacking?

This
is interesting. We're actually going to have a slightly relevant ASV
today, which should be very strongly pro-Shepard. In a match this close,
that might make all the difference. |
Shepard will take the lead at... 2:50 It has been foretold --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Yeah, Aeris gains are really blowing Shepard's doors off here. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
Kind of surprised Aerith has kept this up 3 updates in a row. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |

Why? Her name is meant to be a poetic drift from Earth. Hence, Aerith. 1337gamerpr0 posted...
Not with antivotes though! I want serious competition for him, and that requires effort. Like a wise man once said, to be the man, you gotta beat the man. |
KanzarisKelshen posted... Why? Her name is meant to be a poetic drift from Earth. Hence, Aerith. Here's what Wikipedia says is the Japanese pronounciation of her name: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4f/Aerith_%28Japanese%29.ogg That sure don't sound like "Aerith" to me. Pretty clearly "Aeris". They might want to relate it to "Earth", but they don't pronounce Earth like we do. Aeris is the more accurate spelling in relation to how her name is actually pronounced. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
creativename posted... Here's what Wikipedia says is the Japanese pronounciation of her name: That's a moot point considering it's not possible to say "Aerith" in Japanese. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Then00bAvenger posted... creativename posted...Here's what Wikipedia says is the Japanese pronounciation of her name: You've lost me - how in the world would that be a moot point? If it's impossible to say Aerith in Japanese, then it's pretty clear that Aerith is not her Japanese name. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
I will vote for Link until he loses to Luigi. --- Brawl FC - 1332 8069 6690 http://i.imgur.com/OZ9aS.png |
creativename posted... You've lost me - how in the world would that be a moot point? If it's impossible to say Aerith in Japanese, then it's pretty clear that Aerith is not her Japanese name. By that logic, would you argue Sephiroth is "Sephiros" because that's how it's pronounced in Japanese too? Since "Sephiroth" is impossible to say as well. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
And Shepard pretty much wipes out everything Aerith did over the last 20 minutes. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |

Then00bAvenger posted... creativename posted...You've lost me - how in the world would that be a moot point? If it's impossible to say Aerith in Japanese, then it's pretty clear that Aerith is not her Japanese name. The Japanese spelling for Sepiroth is more like "Sefirosu", just like the spelling for Aeris is "Aerisu". The spelling is misleading though because this is not how the words are pronounced. Sephiroth is a Hebrew word anyway. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I
haven't played the Mass Effect series yet but what is up with Shepard's
quote? It seems very casual and nondescript; you'd think they could
have found something catchier? Last night's percentages still surprise me... obv the 1v1 hierarchy is Link >> Yoshi >> Raiden and yeah Link is going to SFF Yoshi into the ground, possibly into third place. But you'd think it would be close at least - shouldn't some of those Link voters check the results before voting or know beforehand that Link has clearly got this and then support Yoshi. --- ... as if rights are like muscles - the more you use it, the better it gets.

IMPRESSIVE! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
KanzarisKelshen posted... jakethenoob posted... Explaining it like that makes it worse, honestly. "Aerith is closer to a poor name pun that nobody cares about." Oh yay. We might as well call Magus's minions Vinegar, Soysauce, and Mayonnaise while we're at it! --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
creativename posted... Then00bAvenger posted...creativename posted...You've lost me - how in the world would that be a moot point? If it's impossible to say Aerith in Japanese, then it's pretty clear that Aerith is not her Japanese name. Which should actually be Sefirot. Just like Aerith = Earth. Square took a bit of license with their naming. |
AxemRedRanger posted... KanzarisKelshen posted...jakethenoob posted... There's a difference between a pun and a symbolic naming connection. Just sayin'. |
IngmarBirdman posted... I haven't played the Mass Effect series yet but what is up with Shepard's quote? It seems very casual and nondescript; you'd think they could have found something catchier? Shepard has a lot of quote worthy things. So you should just play Mass Effect. :) --- http://i.imgur.com/32RNLnc.gif |

at least - shouldn't some of those Link voters check the results before

creativename posted... The Japanese spelling for Sepiroth is more like "Sefirosu", just like the spelling for Aeris is "Aerisu". The spelling is misleading though because this is not how the words are pronounced. Actually the spelling is exactly how they're pronounced, because that's how Japanese works. And it's Earisu not Aerisu. Sephiroth is based on he hebrew word in the same way that Aerith is based on Earth. That's why you put a T in for Sephiroth's name to make it look closer to its word of origin and a th for Aerith's name likewise. Just because the Japanese writing system is limited doesn't mean you have to limit the romanization you can get out of it. If you see Seodore, you can go ahead and change that to Theodore if you want. There's no need to restrict yourself. That's their interpretation of that name, after all. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
I never expected an Aerith name debate to show up here of all places |
On this speculation that we might see some slight ASV trends today, I wonder if we will see a more pronounced SNV as well. I would presume the ASV would favor Shepard, but FF7 has a very good SNV. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
If
her name is supposed to be a partial anagram for Earth than regardless
of pronunciation it should be spelled similar to Earth. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. |
Then00bAvenger posted... creativename posted...The Japanese spelling for Sepiroth is more like "Sefirosu", just like the spelling for Aeris is "Aerisu". The spelling is misleading though because this is not how the words are pronounced. I already linked to the .ogg file from wiki where her name is pronounced, and it is definitely not Aerisu, Earisu, or Aerith. It very clearly sounds like Aeris in Japanese. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
