Topic	How would they do in a contest? Day 127 ft T-Rex, Sarah Connor, Barret Wallace
MetalmindStats 10/05/19 11:28:54 PM #5:	Sarah Connor: Low Fodder Nope, I can't buy Mid Fodder for her, sorry. Whereas Ellen Ripley, who I already voted as Low Fodder, is the sole character of import in the Alien movies that matter, Sarah has to (fail to) share the spotlight with the Terminators. As such, maybe people remember her, and perhaps they even like her, but they certainly don't care about her in general, and that's pretty much necessary for a movie character to bring in votes on GameFAQs. Barret Wallace: Low Midcarder BlueCrystalTear posted... He's not as strong as Tifa (a High Midcarder who loses SFF-fests to Sephiroth a lot), seeing as he doesn't have bazongas, but is mightily close. There's a lot that strikes me as off about this bit. First and most obviously is Tifa's 2018 triumph over Sephiroth, which half_silver already mentioned. More generally, you maybe could have argued that Tifa wasn't a Near Elite prior to CBX on account of lacking high-profile wins and even missing 2007 entirely, but she's now beaten Mewtwo (comfortably), Mega Man X, and Luigi (again), in addition to turning the tables against Sephy. Whatever you might say about hentai rallies and their 300-vote swings, Tifa's a Near Elite now, unless you would argue that neither MMX nor Luigi is at that level. I would also argue Barret is quite a bit less popular than Tifa, even without considering TJF. Anyways, less about Tifa and more about Barret... Quite simply, his 34% on Sonic is noticeably worse than Cid Highwind's 37% on Mega Man, even adjusting for FF7's decline between 2010 and 2013. I chalk that up to a combination of RacistFAQs and the name value of the names Cid and Highwind, since the two characters are seemingly about equally popular. Fundamentally, I'm not convinced that their results (and by proxy, Sonic and Mega Man's) are lying in regards to that conclusion, thus my vote. T-Rex: Mid Fodder I agree that the T-rex appeal it brings to the table for our nostalgic userbase will get it above the hump, at least if it's directly associated with Jurassic Park somehow. --- "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do."
