MMX looks like he's running away with this, but Tifa should win the last few hours. He needs to build a bit of a lead to feel safe.

lol nope

Any match any Mega Man character has been in has been the same, strong out the gate, die overnight, recover around noon, run away with the match

I mean I don't think he's wrong in the sense that I think trends suggest MMX winning.

I don't see him "running away with it", since I think he'll perform worse here than he did at the start of the match, but I also don't see Tifa's performance improving from this point onward.

As I see it, current trends should stick until perhaps a decent MMX surge at the very end of the match when Europe goes to bed to have MMX win by like 200-250 votes or something.

Come on, Tifa. Fight back. I would love to have it be a nail biter that comes down to the last few updates...(But I still want MMX to win in the end)

Regarding tomorrow's match, I can't help but wonder if Vivi could win. Ganondorf's victory on Dante was impressive, but we just don't know where Dante is at this year. He gets an expected 52% on Chun Li and 58% on Spyro the Dragon. What if if we're dealing with a weaker Dante? DK got 56% on Leon Kennedy, on the other hand. Ganondorf winning with 52-53% would put Tidus and Spyro nearly on the same level, I believe... weird.

It would be amazing to see Vivi pull it off, but I'm expecting Ganondorf to win without much trouble, with 52% at least...

What about Zero beating PIkachu? Erm... if Yoshi is worth less than 55% on Wario, then Zero has a serious shot at winning! (okay, so there's NO way Yoshi only gets 55% on Wario, so forget that I ever brought this up, hrhrhr....)

Yeah I think Mega Man X will probably win-- I've thought he will probably win since Tifa capped her lead at under 200, but Mega Man vs FFVII also isn't really a matchup we see that often and trends are formed by two entrants not one (Mega Man vs Master Chief at this gap at this point of the match would favor Master Chief, for example) so I mean, yeah, the overconfidence is rather silly, particularly since he called for Mega Man X to take over for like several hours in a row before it actually happened.

Same reason as Cloud, Seph and Vincent. FF7 was massive for this site back in the day and those characters have stayed pretty strong ever since probably

Match CXIII: (4) Ganondorf vs. (3) Vivi

Current Contest Performance

Ganondorf
Defeated Neku Sakuraba, 78.60% - 21.40%
Defeated Chun-Li, 58.91% - 41.09%
Defeated Dante, 56.40% - 43.60%

Vivi
Defeated Yu Narukami, 74.89% - 25.11%
Defeated Aya Brea, 75.45% - 24.55%
Defeated Donkey Kong, 54.98% - 45.02%

Analysis

Welcome to the fourth round. We are now reduced to two matches a day. Last round Ganondorf showed that his performance against Chun-Li was all Chun-Li getting stronger as he laid an impressive smackdown on Dante. Not to be deterred, Vivi also easily took down Donkey Kong who looked mightily impressive in the first two rounds.

I feel Vivi’s performance in 2013 has been legitimized a bit. He’s not taking down noble nine characters, but it does look like he’s made the jump from borderline elite to being within the mix. For Ganondorf I think the jury is still out on whether he got a boost from Breath of the Wild. Clearly Zelda got one, but I wouldn’t be surprised if his boost is a lot smaller. It is possible that Dante never did recover from his poor performance in 2013 when people were upset about DmC.

Overall, I still fancy Ganondorf’s chances. He was already one of the strongest non-Noble Nine characters and I doubt Breath of the Wild did nothing for him. The down side of course, is his next opponent will be Link which will end up in a huge SFF blowout. At least we have the loser’s bracket for x-stats adjustments.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Ganondorf > Vivi

charmander6000’s Prediction: Ganondorf wins, 53.26% - 46.74%




Match CXIV: (1) Zero vs. (7) Pikachu

Current Contest Performance

Zero
Defeated Primrose, 74.18% - 25.82%
Defeated Knuckles the Echidna, 56.15% - 43.85%
Defeated Wario, 60.25% - 39.75%

Pikachu
Defeated Scorpion, 66.41% - 33.59%
Defeated Kratos, 63.41% - 36.59%
Defeated Yoshi, 54.80% - 45.20%

Analysis

If people were still doubting Pikachu it pretty much came to an end after he easily disposed Yoshi in the previous round. Charizard and Mewtwo may not have been as strong as some people were expecting, but Pikachu has been legit since 2010.

I always felt that the winner between Yoshi and Pikachu would win the division. Zero has failed to give me a reason for why I should consider him in this match. He has been on the lower end of the elite range for several contests now. Pikachu on the other hand has good reason to be one of the strongest non-Noble Nine characters and will be looking ahead to next round and the loser’s bracket.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Yoshi > Zero

charmander6000’s Prediction: Pikachu wins, 58.47% - 41.53%

Tifa is from FF7. She's also arguably the most important female character there (along with Aeris and I guess Jenova?). She's a good party member, she's also strong, independent, and needs no... actually her personality is pretty cool too. Tifa is great.

Tifa being the strongest non-Cloud FFVII party member isn't surprising. Aside from the obvious design stuff, she's in the game the most among party members, and she's been used in side material more often than pretty much all the other party members aside from possibly Yuffie (who, as much as I hate to say it, is not in the running for strongest party member for obvious plot reasons)

I think it's more Vincent dropped off a cliff due to no one remembering why the hell they liked him in the first place than anything and Tifa and Aeris (who should be expected to be weaker than Tifa for many reasons) holding relatively steady.
No problem!

Good design sure, but really important to the plot in ways other heroines rarely are. She's also a cool brawler type instead of some dainty princess or white mage archetype.

I feel like Tifa has always drawn strength from being a first video game "crush" for a lot of this sites demographic. Character model aside VII was a deep game and a lot of the characters were more unlikable to varying degrees but Tifa was always the supportive party member that is generally underappreciated which is something else a lot of people tend to relate to.

I have always been more surprised by Sephiroth's consistency as a Noble Nine caliber character then by Tifa's ability to remain near elite. Compared to other villains from the site's favorite games and series he has really stood the test of time even if he is not as strong as he was in the past.
I like FF7 as much as the next guy (well maybe not as much as some of the lunatics in this topic) and I never really understood the Tifa love. The whole 'pretending Cloud is who he says he is' never sat well with me.

I'm not a huge fan of Tifa but I understand love for Mega Man X much less tbh. I'm not one of those guys that's going to say he has no character-- he has a well defined character but it's a pretty dull one particularly since it's never really explored due to weak continuity in the MMX series. Standard Mega Man is much more fun.

I think almost all of the love of Mega Man X comes from his games being really good and a very good character design. Which...describes basically every popular character.

Sephiroth has been featured more prominently in side material I’d say, such as Dissedia, Crisis Core and Kingdom Hearts. Vincent also has his own games we shouldn’t forget.

Yuffie only has the brief appearance in Kingdom Hearts- am I missing something else?

MMX is one of the greatest franchises ever made, and X (weird anime X from X4 aside) is a badass. I think voting for X because he's cool and the game is amazing is way better than voting for Tifa because 'bewbs'

It's ridiculous that you have to defend the site daring to enjoy Tifa, who by all means is a well-written character with depth, when basically half of the Noble Nine are more or less avatars and proxies of their games/series. Like no one has said "it's sad X is winning just because he's a cool robot" but the "Tifa is just a pretty face/has boobs" comments are quite common.

Well Nintendo/Mascot character generally get a pass for everything here

Megaman X is just generic main character guy

ppl will generally like generic main character guys from popular/good series.
