Board 8 > Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1290

(+) Yeah! (+)

Mass Effect, Metal Gear Solid, and Final Fantasy are dead on arrival on this site outside of Chrono Trigger and FF6. This is nuts.

Have we had at least one match below 50%?

Sully was the favorite over Aya, but that's been it so far.

Aya Brea was under 50, that's the only one thus far I believe

an honest to god match in this contest, finally

71% update for Squall

the rise to heaven was just a little delayed
---

Man. Every result so far has some sort of surprise.

Blarg Squall. Looks like most non-Nintendo associated FFs characters might suck now. Hat Kid is unknown, but its hard to see it having strength.

Go Ramza! Probably just Mass Effect dropping off, but still impressive that Ramza (it would seem) retained so much strength.

Metal Sonic having some strength.

Dayum Zelda. Hard not to view her as the clear favorite over Squall now. Poor mainline Sony FF characters :(

If Ramza wins after every other male near-fodder line FF lead choked, I don't know what to think

FF is back

*looks at Hat Kids %age*

Poll brings this into question...

Zelda got 62% on Ezio eight years ago.

Assassins Creed, too. Dead.
---

Zeldas getting warmed up for D.Va!

If Ramza manages to edge out Garrus, there's gonna be a lot of casual salt.

It turns out releasing a game every single year for a decade (and even multiple games in some years) makes people hate your products

I mean that one was pretty clear from that FF6 > AC2 killing in 2015

RIP squall

I missed the first 25 minutes. I'm not liking what I'm seeing.

Ramza > Garrus was so obvious to me.

Mass Effect = dead, generic space alien against anime waifu? No hope

Another nearly full percent gained.

The rise continues.

Squall needed 80% just to have a chance against Zelda

I am pretty hyped

Kinda sad Ezio is getting crushed but honestly AC has other leads that probably should have gotten a crack in this

Dont think the Boss match means anything, we knows shes above Tails and I would see Metal Sonic as slightly around Tails level

You do realise this match is nowhere near decided, right?

I know Ramza looks like a hotter chick than The Boss, but you know Ramza is a dude, right?

Honestly, Zelda bulldozing Ezio seems less impressive in the wake of what happened to Gordon. Doesn't look like any of these has-been western characters are going to hold up at all.

So about that Shepard/King K Rool match....

I would take Ramza over K.Rool and be confident in it.

This would be a hilarious upset, and even an immensely satisfying one, but it ain't happening.

Do you remember how weak Diddy was?

It was pretty weak.
---

Here's an idea: Squall was massively overrated in 2013 and none of us knew it! Maybe THAT'S why he didn't beat MissingNo by a wide margin, and maybe THAT'S why he couldn't beat Vivi! Maybe Squall's popularity was always heavily tied to that of Cloud and Sephiroth! (and that Amaterasu's score on Squall deceived us, too!)

This is true.

Still, this is clearly more NintendoFAQs than ever. Id say its Peak NintendoFAQs, but were probably only going to keep getting more that way.

This site is insular and like 80% frozen in time. Its a 90s site where only Nintendo remains relevant, so as everything else drops Nintendo gains by default.

So, even if this result from Zelda isnt as impressive as it seems, I dont have much hope for Squall.

I shudder to think how badly Sephiroth is going to embarrass himself. Poor poor Sephy :(

I will in no way be surprised if Captain Falcon beats Sephiroth.

(and that Amaterasu's score on Squall deceived us, too!)

by being exactly in line with 2010?

I mean I've never thought Squall is tied at the hip with FFVII but FFVIII didn't exactly impress in 2015 and he's probably suffering a bit from the lack of a new Kingdom Hearts too

Huh, Phoenix and Ike both doing noticeably better with registered votes is interesting.

not entirely surprising in Phoenix's case considering this board exists

well yeah but it's more along the lines that Ike wasn't really that far behind

the breakdown of that match next round should be interesting

I will in no way be surprised if Captain Falcon beats Sephiroth.

I dont see a rally happening due to low interest in the contest and Falcon not being as much of a meme anymore (I think...?) but its actually conceivable if Smash fans actually bother. With these votals, it wouldnt take much.

Even if he wins that division I could see him getting 60/40d by Luigi or X or whatever.

Leon, what do you expect from Sephy?

I fully expect Falcon to have like 45% at the freeze.

Sephiroth might do the FFVII rise to heaven after that, but Captain Falcon had 40% on Cloud at the freeze in 2010 and literally lost 10% from there.
---

aw yeah 78.4% update

more of those please

At this point, would anyone take Vivi over Sephiroth?

Im actually quite surprised the differential isnt much higher. I wouldve expected it to approach the Wario differential.

I still feel confident in Tifa. I'd be more confident if the next few rounds weren't going to be face closeups.

Nah, Ace Attorney's board vote is unreal, but B8 still only makes up a very small percentage of registered voters.

The fact that it isn't more just speaks to the fact that Phoenix's strength is legit these days though.
