Shepard's US percentage relative to Aeris has gone up quite a bit, but not nearly as much overall. stuffing again? --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
I
don't care about Aeris's name itself(if you go back through the topic
you'll see that I refer to her as Aeris, so whatever). I just want to
correct misconceptions about romanizing from the Japanese language. A
name using an s doesn't necessarily mean it's logical to use an S in
romanization. creativename posted...
That's good for you, but it's Earisu. This isn't even a debate. It's a fact. It's right there in writing and Japanese isn't exactly a language with flexible pronunciation. You read what you see. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Shepard needs to take the lead here soon so I can be in a good mood when walking my dogs. --- http://i.imgur.com/32RNLnc.gif |

KanzarisKelshen posted... 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. Not quite. Even though the common Hebrew pronunciation is a "T" sound, the proper academic spelling of the word would be "Sephiroth". I don't know whether it's intentional or not, but they got it right. |
After the really big Shepard spikes he seems to have settled down to going roughly even. Generally a sign of rallying. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |

Shepard has the momentum right now, but it's the momentum of a snail. This match is annoying me :\ --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Aerith
would do well to hold this until the ASV, but at this point, it's only a
matter of time until the bucket tips in Shep's favor. The healer is
playing a losing game. Would have won a night match though! --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/gdl8lcn.jpg |
Shepard is almost there! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Good cut from Shepard. --- When you have nothing to say, quote yourself ~ Solfadore |
Ugh, that was a BIG cut. Only a massive SNV can save Aerith now. --- Kid: She wrote a bad word! Jade: I write what I feel. |

Would have won a night match though! Which means this match is giving us the best part of a 12-hour match already: Debating who wins the 24 hour slugfest! |
Man
Aeris hasn't even lost the lead yet, I don't see this match being over
at all. Who knows how the trends might shape out, we've got a mini-ASV
coming up and everything. Overestimated Shep here or underestimated FF7... how strong do we think this performance makes Shepard? ...more importantly, whaddya think Shepard 2013 gets on Shepard 2010? you know what I'm getting at --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
uh oh, Mewtwo's match is a night match so is Ike's Squirtle, Pikachu and Red have day matches though! |
Lead chaaaaaaange --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
This match is good but I really want it to end just that we get X Ryu Draven match already So people will shut up about him being a Link killer at last |
Lead change! --- 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'm
not sure how "timeless" a character Shepard will end up being. Remember
that ME3 was enjoying (though perhaps "enjoying" is not the best word)
tons of attention months after its release. If we have another Character
Battle 12 or 18 months from now, I might take the whole crew to be a
sliver weaker. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/a4GuDV3.gif |
Ladies and gentleman, HE HAS THE LEAD. --- When you have nothing to say, quote yourself ~ Solfadore |
Nanis23 posted... This match is good but I really want it to end just that we get X Ryu Draven match already yes, I would prefer Mega Man X to have a day match where he's stronger, too! |
2:30 is also the time when Wrex starting going to town on Cecil Could this be the end!? --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Shepard showing no mercy now, early ASV? --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 65/81 Today's Picks: Link and Aerith |
I'll relinquish one bullet. Where do you want it? --- PhoneSE |
RIP Aerith, you'll probably never see the lead again --- http://i.minus.com/jbiGPMGVHJkJ5F.png http://i.minus.com/jbjrjeszi5Bojs.jpg http://i.minus.com/jDswy1q7MCAye.jpg http://i.minus.com/jX6dhkFSD8ugm.jpg |
one last stand before she gives it away for good --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
And she's back! --- When you have nothing to say, quote yourself ~ Solfadore |
And Aerith strikes back She just won't die --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 65/81 Today's Picks: Link and Aerith |
And Aerith fights back. This really all depends on whether Aerith dies once the ASV hits. If she doesn't and can keep stalling and getting some cuts then she could easily come back with the SNV. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |

If we have another Character Battle 12 or 18 months from now, I might take the whole crew to be a sliver weaker. This. I feel that the Mass Effect series as a whole, despite gaining in popularity on this board, is gradually fading from the limelight. Mass Effect 3, and all of Bioware's last few games being so controversial, do not help matters. Heck, within a year and a half of Mass Effect 2's release it was considered to be an improved sequel, then more and more started to consider Mass Effect 1 to be the superior game and the best in the series, seemingly coinciding with the release of Dragon Age II (which I heard tried to do the same thing as ME2, but got lots of hate as a result). That's what I've seen anyway. Still, I think it's plausible that ME2 is going the way of TP/Brawl/MGS4 in terms of games that made a huge impact on release but gradually started fading and drawing more hate as time went by. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |

I still feel like Shepard should be the favorite at this point. I have Aerithin my bracket and Shepard in my expert. I win and lose either way. --- Proud supporter of DogFAQs |
Karma Hunter posted... Man Aeris hasn't even lost the lead yet, I don't see this match being over at all. Who knows how the trends might shape out, we've got a mini-ASV coming up and everything. Aerith is projected to beat Shep by 2% in 2010, and Shep is projected to get 40% on Auron. Adjusting Pikachu to be two points above Fox's level or so and ignoring those stats, Shep was comparable with Ike in 2010. So Aerith either dropped like a rock to the 26% range, Shepard boosted to her level, or both. They're probably worth around 28% on Base Link now. |
Lost the lead! Tied the leader! Gained the lead! --- FFIXOwner Character Battle IX Bracket: 76/84 |
More likely a combination of Aeris dropping and Shepard boosting. He should be worth 55% on his 2010 self, at least. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Shepard is the huge favorite. Wrex's match and the general trends we've seen are as clear as day. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/a4GuDV3.gif |
HOLY WHAT AN UPDATE GUDDAMN IMPRESSIVE! |
Lost the lead! (bleh) --- FFIXOwner Character Battle IX Bracket: 76/84 |
Shepard cast Meteor --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |

ChenKenichiFan posted... Shepard is the huge favorite. Wrex's match and the general trends we've seen are as clear as day. I won't deny that he's a favorite (especially after that update), but FF7 usually does better and better as the match goes on too... though Aeris doesn't really look like she's had proper FF7 trends this match. Huh. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
LinkMarioSamus posted... More likely a combination of Aeris dropping and Shepard boosting. If we peg Shep at around Ike's level in 2010, his 2010 xstat value gives about that number when you do comparisons. I...could believe this, honestly. Shep being 30% on BL legit now seems believable. |
The
fact that Shepard is even beating a FFVII character speaks volumes.
He's come a long way since his 2008 Debut. I'd take him to crush Master
Chief. Probably the strongest Western Character now. --- http://s19.postimage.org/aosug5mrn/Persona4.png |
Karma Hunter posted... ChenKenichiFan posted...Shepard is the huge favorite. Wrex's match and the general trends we've seen are as clear as day. FF7 night trends and day trends are different enough, right? Maybe she's just unlucky it's not a night match. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
Honestly
this looks better for FF7 to me than worse. I didn't even expect Aeris
to be in the match, and she's built a case that she should be favored in
a night or perhaps even a 24 hour poll. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
