It seems that the tastes of the voters have shifted to preferring waifus like Tifa over badasses like Sephiroth. On that note, watch for Yuna to be making big gains in strength relative to Auron Im calling it now.

Yuna seems to have gained on Auron but getting that close to him is asking too much.
I could go for Aerith > Auron, though, which would be a sizable turnaround itself: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3782-gear-division-round-1-auron-vs-aerith --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Azuarc NO PEACE] ... Copied to Clipboard!

Anyone dare take her to go 50/50 with him next contest? No chance. Tifa's in a different league from Yuna. Plus, a lot of it is that Sephiroth has deteriorated a ton, and if we think part of it is that we aren't enamored by big villains anymore (which is possible. Zelda blew past Ganondorf, too), that wouldn't apply to Auron. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I question how much FFRemake will have helped Sephiroth. He played a prominent role at the end but I don't think it was in a way people liked, and in general it's hard for the Badass Cool Villain archetype to wow us anymore.
Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith are going to make healthy gains though. And Barret too maybe I guess. --- It's Reyn Time. ... Copied to Clipboard!

LeonhartFour 10/02/20 5:44:45 PM #111: |
I thought Sephiroth was quite good in FFVIIR actually, even if it was a role completely different from what he played during that part in the original! His voice actor really helped there, too, but they seemed to manage to recapture what actually made Seph a fearsome villain in the first place.
That being said, I don't think it helps him that much because he didn't really do anything notable. A villain's strength comes from their defining acts more than anything else. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Mewtwo got what he deserved Well, I was doubting on whether or not to pick Zelda over Squall (and then easily over Fox), and that would've pushed me to #1 sitewide! Then again, I also had tremendous doubts regarding my Tifa > Luigi pick, but that seemed to have worked out for reasons that I would've never seen coming, lol.

Favorite Nintendo console poll today:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/8249- Switch has gained almost 7% compared to the same poll from 2 years ago. It's still losing to the GameCube, but I expect trends to be very favorable towards the Switch during the overnight hours as the GameCube is expected to do poorly with the European vote. Switch has been more successful in Europe than the GameCube. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as azuarc, Guru Champ! ... Copied to Clipboard!

In polls like this the depth of the console matters. While Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64 and Majora's Mask likely beats everything the Gamecube has to offer things drop-off rather quickly. GoldenEye/Paper Mario/Super Smash Bros./Mario Kart 64 have some strength. After that you have Star Fox 64 and the Rare games which already don't have much strength.

I wouldn't read too much into a poll where both the PSP and Vita were both under 2.5%. Vita might have had a slight advantage being more recent than the PSP. It also had better exclusives than the PSP ever had.
