KamikazePotato 10/15/18 7:17:56 PM #268:	Division 2 Match 9 Zero vs. Zidane https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5250-character-battle-ix-division-9-round-2-zero-mmx-vs-cube-vs https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5184-character-battle-ix-division-5-round-1-dancin-vs-zidane-vs Zidane is a lot more respectable then he used to be but Zero is a much bigger wall than he has any chance of climbing. Result: Zero - 61% Zidane - 39% Zero has a 100% chance of winning -- Division 2 Match 10 Noctis vs. Wario https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5222-character-battle-ix-division-9-round-1-lightning-vs-dk-vs https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5248-character-battle-ix-division-8-round-2-wario-vs-red-vs-wrex Used a poll of Lightning because it's the closest comparison to Noctis we're getting. Wario sucks. I don't think he's ever had a poll where he looked good. Lost easily to Zack despite Cecil in the poll, god SFFd into oblivion by Fox in 2007, and got stomped by Red to the point where he lost to Wrex. What kind of perennial failure loses to Wrex, anyway? Noct- er, Lightning did pretty bad in that DK poll but honestly I don't think Wario does any better. He consistently folds at the first sign of a character that people actually like. Actually, let's go full x-stats on this one: Wario (2013c) has a strength of 21.70 against Base Link. Lightning (2013c) has a strength of 23.02 against Base Link. Wario47.13% Lightning52.87% Lightning wins with 52.87% of the vote! That is pretty much what I expected it would be. The question is: is Noctis as strong as Lightning? I...don't know. Lightning is terrible but she does have her fans, while Noctis is more recent, less established, and honestly just has a less eye-catching design. I think he's probably close to her level level simply because FFXV was marginally better-received than FFXIII was. And I'd rather take Noctis and lose then feel stupid for betting on this and losing: https://www.mariowiki.com/images/thumb/b/b6/SML2_-_Wario_Artwork.png/197px-SML2_-_Wario_Artwork.png Side note: this is the first match in my original bracket so far that I've flipped on as a result of doing a writeup. Result: Noctis - 52% Wario - 48% Noctis has a 55% chance of winning --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. <cite>KamikazePotato posted [p:910587980] in KP's (In-D...
