Board 8 > Character Battle X Contest Analysis Crew - Part 6

(+) Yeah! (+)

I mean Zelda hitting 70% here would just mean Aerith is equal to The Boss and she and Fox suck worse than we thought
---

Auron's gonna go low here. this is really bad.
---

(I'm actually not totally convinced Auron wins this)
---

is the margin too big for Geralt to overcome this time
---

i'm not convinced auron is winning this
---

yeah geralt is looking pretty damn good
---

Oh wow, Auron under 55% already. Maybe he has dropped off after all.
---

Auron's tanking really fast, yeesh
---

guys

guys

Let's talk about Simon Belmont > Auron
---

how are Tifa and Vivi the only good FF characters still

Maybe Mega Man X is just weak and Luigi is gonna put 60% on Tifa.
---

geralt winning this division would be the kind of spice this contest needs

and then he can beat sonic next round too
---

also Geralt actually cut 20 votes off of Auron's lead the last two minutes
---

Geralt beating Auron would made no sense in like any way whatsoever. All the projected stats immediately explode. Let's do it.
---

I mean after Yuna fell off hard and Tidus looked pretty bad too, it would make sense Auron dropped, we just didn't notice it because he was protected by the biggest FF fraud in Vincent, and a Sub-Zero who we only really have faith in based on another fighting game series impressing.
---

well, Geralt was at 49% on Rosalina, 50% on Bayonetta (48% at :10), and 52% on Simon (49% at :30)
---

Yuna didn't fall off. Neither did Tidus.
---

I'll say this - Auron, Yuna and Squall sucking makes Zelda's performance look a lot more normalized. Aerith is probably in that same boat. Tidus... well, Ganondorf just might not be very good this year based off of Chun.
---

hmm if Auron looks bad it makes Vincent look bad which makes Magus look bad

never mind Im off this plan. gtfo geralt

which would make Vivi look worse

somehow FFVII has the three strongest Square characters by a wide margin...?
---

Mewtwo has an X form.

Mewtwo is a fraud.

Auron is from Final Fantasy X.

Mega Man X is a fraud.

Cecil's weapon is the eXcalibur, and he botched things up.

X factor drop confirmed.
---

I am all for Geralt continuing to impress, even if I've yet to vote for him. He's a character who originated outside of video games, so he opens the door for other characters who have had highly acclaimed video games but didn't originate in them. Like Batman.
---

false alarm
---

ok well you made things funny for a minute geralt thank you

also god damn zelda
---

Kinda thought Auron would recover and Geralt was just getting spice votes
---

Bracket votes dying down...?
---

@TsunamiXXVIII I have said numerous times in all contests that EVERY video game character should be allowed. John Cena VS Superman people!
---

Luigi/Tifa is the last piece of the puzzle, I think. we'll go into the big bracket having a really good idea of where everyone lies -- and outside of maybe Snake and Crono, we should have an idea of how the N9 looks too.
---

this is a reminder that zelda lost the board vote again
---

I voted for Aeris out of pity

I wonder how many did the same
---

based on other matchups, Geralt has sucked from :05 to :10 more than :00 to :05. I still don't think this is totally over, though I think the most likely result is Auron with ~53%
---

I'll be interested to hear people's Ryu/Seph takes though

There's certainly no reason for that to happen this time. Aerith had a 19.73% prediction percentage last round, and Zelda would have been the clear bracket favorite in this match.
---

Squall > Zelda > Aeris voter checking in btw

We do exist

Fair enough. I'm sure most fictional characters that would be worth nominating have at least one game.

I want to believe, but I won't until I see Ryu over 60% at the freeze.

Neptune over Godot hell yeah
---

if Alucard = Bowser then Kefka = Terra. that's weird.
---

Charizard scores like 48% on Kirby right? I am fine with that.
---

Leave it to Kefka to make everything weird.
---

leave it to rSFF

Alucard is the undeniable star of the baby bracket, if you ask me
---

If Alucard = Bowser then Gordon vs. Godot is a toss-up.
---

I'd take Godot over Gordon tbh
---

augh Aerith's gonna do it
