Tifa's almost at 44% now, and it's only 3. 46% by morning is very attainable. --- 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2010, 2011 10 championships is not enough. ZeldaFAQs thirsts for more. |
Well, she could conceivably get there at the rate things are going. Doesn't change the fact that Samus should be embarrassed about it! --- http://www.miscupload.com/upload/452457071929141623517416.gif |
By the way, Tifa currently has her exact percentage from her 2010 match against Sephiroth now. Sephiroth/Samus is a debatable match again...! --- http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif |

Tifa
is embarrassing Samus now (she has 50% in the UK!). It's funny reading
all the posts in the previous stats topic where Samus apparently got off
to a great start, now she is disappointing. edit - That said, Tifa still isn't given enough respect in the stats topic and I think getting ~56% on her is still a strong performance. Time and time again I have argued that Tifa is the strongest FF character outside of the usual two, but her good performances are never taken seriously for some reason. --- Fine!

No it's not. Replace tifa with seph. Seph would be doing worse. Look at Kirby match. I do t k ow why this is bad for Samus. She literally got 49% on a strong Samus. People will find any excuse to play down Samus. When Tifa is clearly the 2nd strongest FF character on this site now indirectly. --- http://i.imgur.com/ooexO.gif |

It looked to me that both chicks were rising - albeit Tifa far moreso - while the block is taking all the falls. Chicks > blocks. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |

It's funny reading all the posts in the previous stats topic where Samus apparently got off to a great start, now she is disappointing. Shouldn't this be expected? I thought Samus was Power Hour-loaded while Tifa was the exact opposite. Brawl/Fallout 3 all over again be prepared folks. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
For comparison, Tifa has gained 7.25% since the freeze. That's flat out insane, even by FFVII standards. I guess that's what happens when Samus and L-Block BOTH get pushed at the start of the match and they try to leave Tifa behind (unsuccessfully). --- Guess who I am! http://gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs3/1345748_o.gif |
Denzokuken posted... Tifa is embarrassing Samus now (she has 50% in the UK!). It's funny reading all the posts in the previous stats topic where Samus apparently got off to a great start, now she is disappointing. . FFVII is the #1 game on this site in Europe. I'm puzzled as to why people are acting like tifa is some midcard fodder. Samus would tear crono mm and sonic a new one and you all know it. Now lets stop bashing Samus and praise tifa a bit more. --- http://i.imgur.com/ooexO.gif |

What happens if the trends are exactly the same from the first Samus/Tifa match? --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
If
the trends are exactly the same, Tifa wrecks Samus all night, Samus
does some minor damage control during the day, and Tifa wrecks her some
more with the second night vote. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
Zinganger posted... I know this is practically unheard of, but... I'm willing to bet that joke characters leech apathy votes, and mainstream Nintendo characters are more apt to score said apathy votes in an average match, so in that way I'm sure L-Block is leeching some votes from Samus. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
Did that reddit rally for Tifa take off or something? --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
And
one final thing before I depart for the night, as one of the maybe
three or four Tifa fanboys on B8, it's awesome to see that she always
somehow manages to put up impressive performances against the Noble
Nine. ya go my Tifa --- http://i.imgur.com/M7vKB.gif |
I want to consider myself one of those fanboys. I just have a serious soft spot for "badass" female characters, that's all. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
I am sure Leon is very pleased to know that you like the same characters as him. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
This is the second time Tifa has embarrassed Samus. Is this some kind of weird ass reverse SFF or what? --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
It's not like Samus declining doesn't make sense. And Tifa has had a decently high-profile appearance since last contest. Granted it was only a PSP game, but every little bit helps, especially against Ms. Alpha DmC. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Well, Tifa seems to be gaining like mad while the other two slowly drop. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Tifa with a 22 vote cut... man, Tifa. edit - 3 cuts in a row. It's onnnn --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
So I missed the last couple matches. What was the reaction to Cloud losing? At what point did people realize that Squirtle was the favorite? From the trends I suppose it was the ASV. Also did people blast Sora for losing, or did they credit Pikachu more? And holy hell at Sora's day vote. Jesus. He completely destroyed a *Pokemon* with the day vote? Can't believe he actually came close to winning that match. I suppose we now know that Kingdom Hearts' day vote is still king. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Sora dropped the ball there. Pikachu had enough rallying to change the outcome, but not enough to give Sora any excuse. Squirtle had a pretty substantial rally (I think I remember someone saying 7000 votes?) --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
Tifa going 50-50 with Samus in the night. Tifa is arguably looking as impressive as Cloud =/ --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
If that took place next week. Sora wins by several hundred maybe even a thousand votes. KH+ --- http://i.imgur.com/ooexO.gif |
Around 9000 rallied votes and people calculate that around 7.000 got to Squirtle.Also I just woke up and I check the results. 1)Sora has the best day vote. Without rally Pika was dead for sure. Too bad. 2)L-Block isn't winning and Tifa is 2nd? This contest has lost all credibility. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
I
think this is exactly how this match would have gone in 2010, or maybe
even 2007/2008. Sure, that implies that Tifa could take on some of the
weak links of the Noble Nine in those years, but IIRC most of us
believed that anyway. Samus allowing an FFVII character to cut her so much in this contest isn't good, sure, but we could have all seen a Samus decline coming a mile away. And while Samus did get blowout wins in the first two rounds, Tifa got one in the first round as well. Personally I'm still impressed with Samus here, but then again I expected L-Block to be winning and/or Samus vs. Tifa to play out exactly the way it did in 2006, so for me seeing Samus getting 55% on a character she almost lost to once is impressive. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
MegatokyoEd posted... This is the second time Tifa has embarrassed Samus. First time, Tifa was coming off of Kingdom Hearts II. IIRC weren't Square characters generally on steroids that year? Vincent upset Ganondorf, Squall did only like 2-3% worse than Mega Man against a common opponent, Sora broke 45% on Mega Man when his previous two losses were blowout losses at the hands of "weaker" Noble Niners, Yuna had three blowout wins and a respectable loss, Auron did better against Crono than he did against Ganondorf the year prior, etc. This time, Samus is coming off of her equivalent of DmC, while Tifa has gotten her highest-profile game appearance since arguably Kingdom Hearts II in the meantime. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |

What?
Why? There were around 9000 rallied votes. Maybe less Of course not all
of them went to Squirtle. But how many do you suppose they went to
Squirtle? Above 2/3 for sure. As for today's match even between the crew half of them had L-Block winning and half had Samus winning. Also all had Tifa 3rd. So as you can see this is an upset. Anyway this match is set now. Samus will continue to increase and L-Block will continue to fall. At least we will have a woman in the final 9. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
If
you're so happy about that then stop voting against Samus (and Mario
and Link) just for it. Although you told me a while back that you don't
really have anything against them and just avoid voting for them since
they're so popular anyway, which is perfectly fine. Also this probably shouldn't be talked about, but if I remember correctly Tifa is 21 and I'd guess that Samus is 26. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
creativename posted... What was the reaction to Cloud losing? At what point did people realize that Squirtle was the favorite? From the trends I suppose it was the ASV. The reaction to Cloud losing was pretty muted, actually, probably because we saw the writing on the wall about a round ago. But yeah, around the time the ASV started, people accepted Squirtle wasn't dropping this. Sora got blasted for losing more than the other way around. Rightfully so, too. He's fallen from a near elite to a run of the mill midcarder. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
Also, Tifa might make it to 46% on Samus after all! Samus's lead has been stuck in the 1200 range since 3 A.M. I was mostly joking before when I said Tifa could possibly beat Sephiroth, but now...? --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
oh
boy this is too much work, didn't expect L-Block to be this far behind.
Auron must be absolute ass, even with natural trends L-Block was very
close. |
If Auron got L-Block in a night match, he'd have done something similar to the Block in this position. --- http://i52.tinypic.com/2zfiu09.gif http://i54.tinypic.com/10729w2.gif |
To
be fair Auron/Cloud/Sephiroth declining more than Tifa makes sense if
you want to buy into the whole badass decline business, which honestly
sounds good seeing how pretty much every "badass" has disappointed
(Dante, Kratos, Ryu Hayabusa, Sub-Zero, Charizard, etc.). So I guess Cloud and Sephiroth pretty much fell off a cliff while Samus and Tifa only declined a little in comparison. Also Tifa really feels like an underdog here. I almost have to root for her: she seems equipped just to face off against the menacing power-armored super-soldier she's up against. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
FF7 nosediving? Tifa gives no f***s! --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
Samus down to 54.31% on Tifa. Uh oh. This could be something...wait a sec, IIRC Tifa lost the ASV to Gordon Freeman last year so forget it I guess. Then again, Metroid Prime lost the ASV to Half-Life 2 in Game of the Decade so whatever. Samus won the ASV last time IIRC, but I guess the new "rise to heaven" trend for FFVII makes that less likely? --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
LordoftheMorons posted... Sora dropped the ball there. Pikachu had enough rallying to change the outcome, but not enough to give Sora any excuse. 7000 net?!? Holy f****! Yuri_LowelI posted... If that took place next week. Sora wins by several hundred maybe even a thousand votes. KH+ It's amazing how lucky Pokemon really are. I mean the timing of the release for Charizard last contest, the "Mega" stuff this contest, and Pikachu avoiding what would have been an almost definite loss to Sora if it had taken place one or two weeks from now. And that's not even mentioning the insane exploiting they did of LFF this contest. F***ing ridiculous. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Yeah,
we actually ran an experiment during the morning where a B8er who made a
rally topic for Squirtle took the rally topic down to see what would
happen. And surprise, surprise, Squirtle didn't win a single update. Then the topic went back up and Squirtle went back to work. --- http://i.imgur.com/kCpvD.gif |
lightning-02 posted... oh boy this is too much work, didn't expect L-Block to be this far behind. Auron must be absolute ass, even with natural trends L-Block was very close. I don't know about this. On paper it makes him look terrible. But excepting Draven rallies, L-Block had a rally of almost unprecedented levels against Auron. Auron may have declined but I think if L-Block was at the same strength as last round, Auron would be pretty close to Tifa. I think L-Block's insane non-linearity is the reason Auron looks like ass here. I think he's really not that far behind Tifa in natural strength. L-Block is at 40% on Tifa, I think natural Auron is probably at like 45% on Tifa. Which isn't bad at all considering Tifa might be the strongest FF7 character now!! Or at least she's pretty damn close to Cloud and Sephiroth. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Samus down under 41% now, coming close to nearly 6% lost since the freeze. Tifa is now up to 9% gained since the freeze. --- http://i.imgur.com/M7vKB.gif |
I also think Aeris looks pretty decent in retrospect. She was basically even with Shepard, and Shepard held up surprisingly well against Link and Draven. I mean *both* of Shepard's opponents probably got the biggest rallies we've ever seen, yet Shepard still somehow managed to look OK. I think in a match where Shepard wasn't LPF'd into the absolute ground by gargantuan rallies for his opponents, he's a high midcarder. And high midcard isn't too bad for Aeris, IMO. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
creativename posted... lightning-02 posted...oh boy this is too much work, didn't expect L-Block to be this far behind. Auron must be absolute ass, even with natural trends L-Block was very close. I didn't even start the rally for a good 20 minutes in that match and it was a solid 35/40 kind of match without interference. I just assumed L-Block had a high base strength but this makes Auron look terrible. I don't really buy that the time difference is causing such a chasm, it didn't impact other rallies very much and L-Block was at his strongest last round in the SNV. |
Karma Hunter posted... Of course, both of their shots are awful, and Draven's chances of winning are in excess of 99%, and Allen was being ridiculous when he suggested otherwise, but that's neither here nor there. When did Allen suggest otherwise? Also I'd peg Draven at more like 80-90%. There's still a chance his rallies don't materialize, and that Snake can take him out. Though as you said, Samus being there kills most of Snake's chances. But I don't find it inconceivable that Draven loses. I mean really, after everything that's happened in this contest, Draven randomly losing in shocking fashion would fit right in. LeonhartFour posted... Also hoping Red pulls a Sora tomorrow. I agree with you. I'm not sold on Red being a powerhouse, nor that he'd get rallied to the heavens like the non-human Pokemon. Squall might just be strong enough to overcome the Vivi LFF there. If Red is at say 55-45 strength compared to Blue, Squall has a very good chance of winning. Of course if Red is much stronger than Blue, he should win easily. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
