Should've put Liquid in Bowser's division as well, now that I think about it. Would need to switch Ocelot out of there though.

It's a shocking match in Heavy this week, as Alexandrian knight Beatrix duels with the Silent Death, Crono, at www.rpgdl.com!

Round 1 seems very easy. I'll only think about Albedo vs. M. BIson and Ridley vs. Diablo. And they happen to be in the same 4-pack...

For Round 2...even easier. Except for that darn Albedo/Bison/Ridley/Diablo 4-pack.

Round 3...Bowser might have a chance of losing, but I can't see it happening. Once again, that 3rd division gives me a trouble. Will Kefka win, or lose to someone else?

It's ridiculously easy from there.

So, that's...4 matches total that I'm going to think about. Sucky. However, ULTROS is in this!

"My name is Guybrush Threepwood. Prepare to die!"

Pyramid Head is from Silent Hill, FYI.

And I'm having trouble looking at Lavos-Mother Brain. I can't decide how much either fanbase will care.

Maybe this is CJayC's subtle way of saying Crono vs. Samus this summer.

Well, I'm disappointed that CATS got gypped again in the seeding... I was hoping for a 2 seed. I'm also disappointed that it's only 32 characters. But if nothing else, this contest should be less predictable than the last one, so that's good.

btw - this is how many of the first 21 people who predicted in Rodri's prediction contest picked the guys who made the cut:

1 Revolver Ocelot - 21
2 Sephiroth - 21
3 Bowser - 21
4 Ganondorf - 21
5 Liquid Snake - 21
6 Kefka - 21
7 CATS - 21
8 Dr. Robotnik - 21
9 Dr. Wily - 21
10 M. Bison - 21
11 Ridley - 21
12 Sigma - 20
13 Kuja - 20
15 Luca Blight - 20
18 Lavos - 19
21 Ghaleon - 19
22 Ramirez - 19
23 Andross - 19
27 Albedo - 18
28 Mother Brain - 18
31 Diablo - 17
32 Ultros - 16
33 Albert Wesker - 16
34 Pyramid Head - 15
36 Master Hand - 14
37 Giygas - 14
41 Ansem - 13
49 Mithos Yggdrasil - 11
50 Vergil - 11
56 Officer Tenpenny - 9
Sin - 4
Nemesis - 3

obviously, the biggest surprises were Sin and Nemesis. either Seymour didn't count or the FFX fans forgot about him. and i would've picked Nemesis to make the contest but i plain forgot about him because i didn't know he had a name. he was pretty friggin scary in Resident Evil 2. i loved the freak.

but Sin? Sin was pretty friggin' lame for a villain.

the biggest snubs that we predicted appear to be:

14 Fawful - 20
16 Meta Knight - 20
17 Wario - 19
19 Donkey Kong - 19
20 Mid-Boss - 19
24 King K. Rool - 18
25 Kerrigan - 18
26 Seifer - 18
29 Seymour - 18
30 Darth Malak - 17

i guess Kerrigan and Wario and Meta-Knight and Seifer probably didn't count after all (ha, Leonhart!! =P); unless they really got fewer nominations then these other guys. but, they all really did appear to be getting a ton of nominations. and despite being on the nomination page, DK still can't get any love.

Hi,I'm partystar. ^_^

CATS will lose in the most painful of fashions.

Why is everyone talking about it being so close?

Its making me sad!!!

Because this board has a thing for CATS and this is the best matchup he's been in, in his entire time as a contestant.

I truly feel bad for Leon, for starters. Seifer should have gotten in.

Sir Bormun called Kefka being a 1 seed long before anyone else did, I believe. Kudos to him.

I'll do more dissecting later. Aside from Sephiroth, CJayC has truly given us a tough bracket.

Is it just me, or does Kefka's division look weak?

---
~ExquisiteSamurai~

lol, CATS will get whomped so hard again. the false hope his fans has received is amusing, though. too bad he has to lose to Ansem, though. i loved Kingdom Hearts and even i thought Ansem was a loser. if only he didn't say "DARKNESS!" every other word.

Aside from him and Ridley - who will be beating Kefka - it is pretty weak, but also damn tough.

Hmm. Well, When Bowser/Ocelot happens (or rather, if it happens), I guess we'll see exactly how Ocelot stacks up. Given that some equate him to Liquid, and considering Liquid's position in the Xstats is somewhat questionable, it could be very interesting.

Kefka's going to make Round 3...guess what this means?!

I'm figuring Ocelot is as strong as Knuckles. Therefore, Bowser makes this like Bowser/Yoshi. For shame Dr. Wily likely won't beat him.....

this bracket doesn't seem to tough to me. for matches that i'm not certain of upon first glance, i count:

6/16 first round
3/8 second round
1/4 Elite Eight

and none after Kefka vs Ridley.

although, i do see 2 four-packs that any of the four could come out of.
