GameFAQs Contests

Thank goodness for California and 4chan. Tharja losing to Juliet is at least somewhat respectable, if terrible in its own right. Tharja losing to Tiny Tina I think I'd be bummed contest-wise for weeks, man.

No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

I'm not so sure if California would have bailed out Tharja here. When the morning vote kicked in after 7:00 AM, Tiny Tina started gaining percentage like crazy in the US. With California being 3 hours behind the east coast, it would have taken longer for California's morning vote to start up. Current results in California so far:

Tharja 37.71%
Juliet Starling 28.27%
Tiny Tina 34.02%

I'll post that in here and then check up on California once this match ends.

Watching Trans scream at me reminds me of that episode of Fairly Oddparents where Cosmo yells things to help himself remember them later.

SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0

I think you could put literally any character here and they'd get close to 20%. Like really, 1/5 people on GameFAQs disliking Rinoa and Aeris's archetype makes sense to me as they're more or less the same character. Rinoa's just like Aeris on crack without "that scene", basically.

how dare you imply the floating in space scene is not as impactful as aeris's

I didn't think they were ridiculous as there are some strong arguments in favor of Hero possibly getting under 10%.

First off, Dragon Quest is a very strong cult franchise on GameFAQs, which is bad if you expect a character to have any sort of strength in a contest. There's also 2 other RPG characters in the match too, which might have leeched some of Hero's support. And then there's the issue that a lot of voters probably don't even know who he is.

I still think Rinoa has this honestly. But I won't complain if she doesn't. Third place is a fate better than she deserves.

Man, if Rinoa is bombing this hard in a match, I can't wait to see Locke Cole in action. He might be weak enough to lose to CATS.

When is she supposed to start making this comeback, exactly.
---
i'll do rydia -Dante

Gradually using FF7/FF8 trends she should get stronger the entire match, with most of the strides happening in the night vote.

If Hero pushes the lead past 500 or so I might feel good about him holding but until then yeah.

Rinoa's only losing because Aerith's in the way.

Either way, we're well on our way to the worst contest ever.

Not really. Going off Oracle results, most people have Aerith at roughly the correct percent. The swing in predicted % is purely between Rinoa and Hero.

Most people were expecting around 15% for Hero and he has over 25% right now. So this is a case where Hero is much stronger than we expected, rather than Rinoa being SFFed. I think Rinoa happened to be much weaker than we expected. And Aerith isn't the type of character who would be capable of SFFing someone. The stronger a character is, the more SFF power they have over weaker characters from their series or game.

No, Rinoa's definitely getting SFF'd.

Lopen and tranny pretty much have it right.

Not saying Rinoa's not weak, but Hero wouldn't beat Rinoa if this was 1-on-1.
---
"I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now."

And Aerith is plenty capable of SFF.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/1317

People had the same rationale for that match, too. "Sora's just weak. No way Aerith SFF'd him."

yeah that didn't work out so well in 2004

Rinoa would be winning without Aerith around, yeah. Still, Hero's not as weak as people expected him to e, which is the nice take away here. Dragon Quest isn't so unknown that one of its lead characters can't do alright. This isn't Shadow Hearts!

I suppose considering how well liked small JRPGs around here, I should have figured that he'd be strong enough to take advantage of the SFF. DQ is pretty tiny in the US, especially compared against Final Fantasy, but that doesn't mean much on this website.

This match makes me feel good about Fei Fong Wong > Dan.

I always thought Fei beating Dan was the obvious call anyway. Dan has looked terrible in every poll he's ever been in.
---
"I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now."

Yeah, Fei "impressed" in his one match too. Seems pretty clear cut, I think.

This isn't the worst contest.We had a really good match and plus the predictions for 2nd place are off.
2nd place crew curse.Yeah that is!
---
GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~

I disagree that Hero is significantly stronger than we think he is. I think the overlap is just higher than expected.

I really do honestly think Tanner scores 17-18% in this match.
---
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

You have to consider that even less people are aware Tanner exists now. And only a few knew he existed when he had his shot to begin with.

That's my point. 17-18% of Hero's 25% here are "not Aeris/Rinoa"
---
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

Er I guess I should've made that clear I meant that the overlap in their hatebases was higher than expected not so much their fanbases. Like I think most people who dislike one dislike both... I mean I already thought that but I think it was more of a most than I'd originally thought now.

Basically what I'm saying is I'd confidently pick Hero to take last were he replacing anyone in the last match despite this match implying otherwise

Tanner would do weaker after he's had a well-received game come out?

I think you're way off here. I mean, Hero isn't going to take on big names, but people were a bit too caught up in the idea that no one knows what Dragon Quest is. It's hardly an unknown series outside of Japan, and the site is trending more 'hardcore' than ever with its users.
