| PostContestUlti 12/09/20 10:55:52 AM #129: | Division 8 Round 2: Sephiroth, Tifa, Kratos, and Jill Valentine Sephiroth - 56444 [41.53%] Tifa - 27259 [20.06%] Kratos - 32949 [24.25%] Jill Valentine - 19246 [14.16%] Total Votes - 135898 Round 2 concluded with a very easy to diagnose poll, which featured all Playstation characters and a predetermined order. Sephiroth was always going to get first. Tifa was always going to get SFFd to death and get screwed out of getting second place, though if you reran this poll in 2020 it's quite possible that wouldn't happen. Jill Valentine, unpredictable as she is, was probably not going to be strong enough to take advantage of the situation and finesse her way into second place. This left Kratos as the lucky odd man out for the second year in a row. In 2007 he took advantage of Kirby, L-Block, and Donkey Kong all stealing votes from each other. Here, he took advantage of Sephiroth, Jill, and Tifa all stealing votes from each other. Dad of Boy always knew how to make his mark! Also, I think Tifa gets hurt by the presence of Jill Valentine more than most people might think. They're both Playstation-era bombshells, which actually does matter. I wouldn't be at all shocked if there was massive overlap there. This concluded round 2 of our secondary 4way experiment, and it was starting to get pretty decent. I wouldn't say "good" given the format, but it was decent. We had some surprises, we had some bandwagons, we had some arguments... but above all, these vote totals were <i>massive.</i> People were really having a lot of fun this year, and a huge bit of it was coming up to lead off the divisional finals. --- ...
