Yeah Vincent just might be the new Magus now.

Going from beating Ganondorf, Squall, and CRONO to losing to Phoenix Wright.

Still not sure why folks are so convinced FF7 has declined or certain FF7 characters have declined etc. Why, because of results from 3-ways RallyFAQs? Is there a single match from this contest with FF7 in it where you can extrapolate what would have happened in a 1v1?


Vincent failed to break 60% on KOS-MOS.

In 2006 Aerith did better than that, and if anything KOS-MOS should have dropped hard since then.


You should be arguing for a constant FF7 or at least Tifa if you want Samus to look good here!

Well I mean unless L cruises past her and Tifa gets LPFed then Samus looks like a stud no matter what


This is largely what I expected from Samus/Tifa tbh. Tifa's looked great all contest (even discounting the FFVII drop) and I've argued Tifa > Vincent for years.

Magus beat Phoenix by about as much as Phoenix beat Vincent. Now I want to see Magus vs. Vincent.....the rematch of the 2005 match that never was.

Facing Ganondorf just seems to be bad news for everyone. His stink gets on them.

Unless you happen to be Mewtwo, in which case you ascend to Noble Nine status.

I mean when I say I'm confident in Samus 'easily' beating Snake I mean her jumping out to a huge enough lead that Snake's unable to overtake her before her day vote lets her put it away.

I mean, barring rallies for the 300 votes it'd take to make a 51-49 match 50-50 given the votals we'll have by the time we get our next 1v1 Character Battle!

It looks like you're gonna need a Tifa boost to get Samus up to Snake 2010 tho. We do honestly have a decent read on Tifa in 2010, her Gordon Freeman match was completely unpolluted.

consider this:

FF7 will have, should Tifa hold on...

- had its strongest lose to a turtle.
- has the 2nd strongest in a position to beat the guy who beat Link... or job to Mewtwo.
- had its 3rd strongest beat L Block.
- had its former 3rd strongest drop to 6th as he jobbed to Phoenix Wright


this game.

Cloud 64% on Frog... I doubt Frog got rallied

Okay, but LOL 3-ways. How do Lugia's votes get split? Who knows. Another factor - does Frog improve with declining votals.

I don't know anything about KOS-MOS or Xeno-games but now that you mention it that performance was pretty disappointing. No clue if KOS-MOS appeals more to the core GameFAQs base either - wasn't she in a lot of early contests and then stopped showing up?

Nevertheless, considering the huge variance we've had in this contest, I think Cloud / Seph / Tifa / Aeris put up reasonable performances. Barret's new, who knows maybe people just don't like him as much.

As much as I'd love for KOS-MOS to be uh... well, the way Vincent looks, I can't say "legit" anymore... um... "not bad"

I really can't think of any reason why KOS-MOS wouldn't drop off as much/more than Vincent outside design carrying her.

or project x zone boost

do you believe?

If anything, this just makes Vivi > Mario even weirder. Mario can't be that much weaker than Samus, and Vivi's natural strength has to be less than Tifa's.

From what I can tell from my forays into /v/ - the reason they supported Vivi is because they all love Vivi. It was apparently that simple. I'm not sure Mario even factored into it.

How so? If we're reading off of that, Snake 2010 gets 70% on Peach (behind Gordon), and if I recall one comment on Tifa/Gordon is that it made Tifa/Peach look fine, which has Samus at 70% on Peach with Tifa at 44% on Samus. Tifa still has a long ways to go (which she will get because lol Samus night vote vs. FFVII) to put Snake 2010 even with this Samus.
