IMO Tifa is easily the best character in FF7. I don't even necessarily think it's entirely waifu shit although that's a big part of it, I also think a multidimensional woman holds up better than some edgy 90s anime ass villain to 20somethings and 30somethings in 2018. Or at least I'd like to hope it's not just waifus

This. People stopped being teenage edgelords and are more willing to accept charm. Same reason why Vincent fell off a cliff and why Vivi has relatively gained. Or why Kirby and Pikachu have risen. (And why Pokmon completely stopped getting anti-voted - people got over the edgy "I am too cool for Pokmon" thing).

Voted Tifa just because I thought Seph was winning... and what a surprise. While the regular bracket disguised his decay, another strong character exposed him and SFF took care of the rest.

(sidenote: I need to stop procrastinating my FF7 playthrough, even if my dumb PC is rebooting while I do so)

It's always seemed to me that a lot of the negativity toward FFVII comes from a similar "teenage" contrarianism to what made us anti-vote Pokemon though. People often talk about how overrated it is.

It became cool to hate FFVII very quickly. Back when Pikachu was still getting wrecked by Fox in GameFAQs contests, Cloud and Sephiroth already had their abysmal early vote, for example. It's just that FFVII being cool to hate has been a very long-lasting phenomenon. I'm not sure why that is, but I don't really believe that it's because it's more mature to hate "edgy" things and like cute things.

You can outgrow edginess but boobs are forever.

Pikachu still sucks.

The TJF theory is so stupid. It completely fails to explain Zelda's rise. The two cases are more similar than people think.

Yeah I'm just kidding, Tifa is legit.

That's because Zelda has the booty factor, not the jug factor.

When you guys say Tifa is "multidimensional," you're referring to her bust/waist/hip dimensions, right? Because in terms of personality, she is flat.

Tifa has the perfect personality. She is a warm, big hearted girl who is loyal and will go to the depths of the world for the people she cares about the most.

What does this mean for Draven's x-stats?

But everything I said was true. Sometimes, simplicity is what wins.

But then again, this sites primary demographic consists of 30 something Nintendo/Square-obsessed basement dwellers, so what do you expect

Supernova isn't edgelord though, it's scientist.

I think the mandatory two-match voting system empowers anti-voting, because a bunch of people that normally would skip an FF7 vs FF7 match are being forced to click one of two in order to vote for Snake

Sephiroth is a long time favorite, so why not throw a vote in the opposite direction.

Also note that Snake is kicking Auron's ass- so these 61.96% of forced voters are already proven to generally prefer MGS over FF.

Or ya know, snake is the best character in the competition. auron hasn't been in a game since what? 2001?

2005

Solid hasn't been in a game since 2001 unless you count Old Snake (which no voters do) or Brawl (which most of the voters do)

I mean he's gotten Old Snake pics a bunch and they never hurt him

I was half joking when I said Tifa>Sephiroth. I didn't think it would actually happen, not this squarely (like Seph would be 48 min)

To be fair came really close to that

This result looks a lot less wacky with Tifa having gained 200 voted total in the last 20 hours of the match

What if someone waifus a character because they're a good portrayal of a multidimensional woman?

It wouldn't be the first time I've heard of people having waifus for things like this instead of basing it all on having thicc thighs/titties/ass/other physical characteristics

Yeah, it's not like the beneficiaries of this "waifu boost" or whatever you want to call it are just damsels in distress.
