http://sc2k5.com/drupal/node/11

Simple Explanation of Extrapolated Standings:
A = Strongest Character
B = Character Weaker than A
C = Character Weaker than B
To figure out a character's Xsts Percentage ---> [(CvB)(BvA)]/50 = CvA
To compare how C would do against B ---> [(CvA)/(BvA)]*50 = CvB
To figure out how B would do against A ---> [(CvA)/(CvB)]*50 = BvA

I don't care about my bracket. I just want Nemesis to get as low as possible in the X-Stats, so go Dr Wily or Ultros. Kill Ocelot and then do worse than Pyramid Head on Bowser :D

Ulti! Great to see that you've seen the light with regards to Ocarina of Time.

I'm also glad that the new review doesn't bring up the OoT/FFVII contest poll as "proof" that OoT is overrated.

I knew you'd see the brilliance of Ocarina of Time someday!

One of the big themes of the last topic was people bashing Ulti's "crazy parallels" between characters.

I just came up with one of my own: The stronger Nemesis is, the stronger Diablo is.

I can understand the Nemesis/Wesker parallel. But how does a character that hasnt been seen in 10 years outside of a few GBA games predict how Dr. Robotnik, who is still the main bad guy, is going to do.
---
Vote for Robotnik, he isnt a woman or a giant slug or a .... hand.

The stronger Nemesis is, the stronger Diablo is.

Assuming that tomorrow results in another close match, keep an eye on the vote totals. If it is more Sigma/Andross related, I think Dr. Wily is in a world of trouble. If it is like this match, then, well, I do not think we can draw anything from it. If Wily wins big (58%+) and the vote totals are lacking, I expect a hotly contested 2nd round match. If he wins big and gets similar vote totals to this match, then I think Revolver may be in some serious trouble.

Ok...

I thought yesterday was a disappointment, but I can't even COMPARE that to today's results. This is supposed to be the "WHAOMG *hand-gesture*" that had a chance of beating Bowser? Bowser could have pulled 60% on Pyramid Head and I would still choose him over Ocelot thanks to today's results. I hope this just shows that Nemesis was damn strong, because a Sigma bomb, followed by an Ocelot bomb, and next is Wily, who is looking to bomb as well, is just plain pitiful.

On the brightside, this is good news for Wesker...

Analysis Ambassador of the night: outback

Mushroom Division: Round 1 - Match 4 – (2)Dr. Wily vs. (7)Ultros

Moltar’s Analysis

Dr. Wily
Game/Series Known From: Mega Man Series

Mega Man’s enemy Wily enters the villian Contest. Can he perform in true Mega Man fashion?

Ultros
Game/Series Known From: Final Fantasy VI

A recurring character in FF6 and tentacle hentai, Ultros enters the Contest as a 7 seed.

Wow, you know this is a good bracket when even the 2 vs. 7 matches are causing some trouble…really, give this match a second glance. Look past the seeding for just a minute.

Dr. Wily is from the Mega Man series, and from what I discussed a couple of analyses back, we know it’s already very big on GameFAQs. However, there is a series that is bigger than MM on GameFAQs. It’s FF, or Final Fantasy for you anti-acronym people. Ultros was in the second biggest FF, Final Fantasy 6. If this match was judged on game series alone, Ultros would win there.

So wait…right now this analysis actually favors the 7 seed? We can’t have that! Dr. Wily comes from the Mega Man series. Mega Man is….wait for it….in the Mega Man series. The only FF6 rep we’ve seen so far is…Kefka. Mega Man vs. Kefka…*insert Kefka laugh here*

Hmm, but there are other characters from the FF series, like Cloud, Seph, Aeris, etc. Should Ultros be around them in strength? Nah, if he was, he would have made it into a GameFAQs contest by now. He’s pretty well-known. We don’t know, he might just suffer from Aeris-syndrome. He has a tough time in the nominations department, but if he were to get in, he’d be strong. I don’t think that’s the case here though. I’m going to stick with Kefka here, since they’re both in the same game. We all know how strong…or not strong Kefka is. I really don’t see Ultros being much stronger. Wily gets the advantage here.

Don’t get me wrong here, I’m not saying anything crazy like Wily is going to blow out Ultros. This match should be closer than the seeding makes it look. I am, however, very confident that Wily can take the octopus.

Ok, this part right here was written after Sigma/Andross. Sigma has already bombed in the Contest…ok, maybe I’m jumping the gun a little here. We don’t know how strong Andross was, but still, Sigma should have done better. This also doesn’t look good for Wily, another Mega Man villain. I’m just going to make this match a couple points closer than I did before, just because an upset here is looking better for Ultros.

Moltar’s Bracket Says: Dr. Wily will win

Moltar’s Prediction is: Wily 53% -Ultros 47%



Ulti’s Analysis

Wily vs Ultros will be close. Real close. If Wily is on the level of Protoman (which I feel he is), that makes him weaker than Kefka. The only thing that caused me to put Wily in my bracket is bracket support, the fact that Ultros is most definitely weaker than Kefka, and the fact that we don't know how much SFF Protoman suffered against Zero; we just left him alonein the 2004 stats, remember?

Wily should beat Ultros, but I'll be shocked if he breaks 53% on him. Seriously. And Ocelot will just maraud his sorry ass.

Ulti’s Prediction: Wily with 52.68%

Soul’s Analysis

I never heard of Ultros. The only FF game that I played was FFX, and that was for about 10 minutes. I didn’t like it. The only TBRPG games that I like are pokemon games. Continuing with this match, I don’t think Ultros could win. He’s from the same game as Kefka, I believe. I know Kefka’s strength. If Ultros is supposed to be a minor villain, he must be a lot lower in the stats than Kefka… right?

Dr. Wily I have heard about, mostly from the cartoon series that I used to watch (The original blue bomber, not the crappy remakes). He had those weird eyebrows right? Anyway, I think Wily is going to take this one, rather comfortably. Dr. Wily wins with 70%.



Outback’s Analysis

G’FHAHAHAHAHA

Unfortunately, this match between two of the best villains will be very one-sided. That doesn’t mean it won’t be fun though. I can just see how these two would meet in an actual battle.

BATTLE 1: THE WATER ON WAVE MAN’S STAGE
Wily and his party of robot masters (Hard Man, Wood Man, and Toad Man) are using those Jet Ski things found on Wave Man’s (MM5) stage when all of a sudden… G’FAHAHAHAHAHAH! A purple octopus carrying beer (http://www.freewebs.com/lcadwallader/10.JPG) and large tentacles pops out of the water!
After an easy battle full of tentacle slapping and projectile shooting, Wily sends Hard Man to jump into the water and vanquish the beast once and for all… or so he thought.

BATTLE 2: A ROCK CONCERT IN DENTOWN (MEGA MAN BATTLE NETWORK)
Wily and his motley crew are stopped at a rock concert when the leader of the band comes up to them and says “Dude! We need a new drummer! The old one, like, is gonna be captured or something by this guy who only needs a drummer to complete his band maaaaaaaan!”

Wily suggests that Wood Man takes the stage; the old drummer was fat too, and Wood Man is pretty mean with the sticks. But just as the show is about to start, Wily sees a note from Ultros saying that he’s out to kill the drummer!

Elsewhere…

Ultros is on top of the stadium rafters with and Xbox. “Grr… hmph… if only… this… weren’t… so heavy!”

Wily, Hard Man, and Toad Man run to Ultros and stop him just as the massive Xbox was about to land on Wood Man’s body. A fierce battle commenced on the rafters as Wood Man and the band compeletely rocked the hizzy down below.

After a thorough beating, Ultros retreated. But what’s this? AIR MAN ON HIS AIR SHIP! Air Man swooped down and captured Wood Man, finally completing his Rock Band, but not before Wily and Co. hopped aboard as well, thinking, although wrong, that Ultros was gone for good.


Want to find out more? Nuh-uh-uh! You're going to have to pick up Mega Fantasy VI!

Wily 63.63%, Ultros 36.37%




Inviso’s Analysis

Well, remember how I said Wily was the strongest character from Megaman. Well here he is, with a chance to score the biggest round 1 blowout of his division. Megaman is a big series, and a big character on Gamefaqs, so the main villain SHOULD be relatively strong. Plus, any old man that looks good in a bikini=instant win.

His chance at the big blowout comes from the fact that he is facing Ultros. Ultros is a villain from Final Fantasy VI, but he’s not THE villain from that game, Kefka is. Kefka has a problem facing anyone even relatively strong, and struggled a bit with PACMAN. Ultros is not on the same level as Kefka, and hence, Ultros will be owned, tentacle rape or not.

My prediction: Dr. Wily with 87.11%

---
IT'S COMMANDER BAUKER! (TEAM ??????)
http://img132.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img132&image=bawk8ko.jpg

If Wily is on the level of Protoman (which I feel he is)

He's so insane to believe that.

My prediction: Dr. Wily with 87.11%

And I thought Heroic Mario had the most delusional Mega Man predictions.
---
Hi,I'm partystar. ^_^
Or maybe I'm Leonhart. That's for you to decide.

Wily should be more powerful than Proto Man. He's had more appearances, and even takes part in the X series.
---
IT'S COMMANDER BAUKER! (TEAM ??????)
http://img132.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img132&image=bawk8ko.jpg

The lack of Protoman's appearance throughout the series is enough to cement that he'll be stronger than him.

---
“If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh.”

wily would probably score higher than proto against Zero, yet be lower overall.
<_<
I hope that makes SENSE in the addled realm of SFF, but ...

---
Bowser, Sigma, Ocelot, Wily||Sephy, Vergil, Lavos, Liquid
Kefka, Wesker, Bison, Diablo||Ganon, Ansem, Eggman, Kuja

12.89% on Wily, eh? So let us be RIDICULOUSLY GENEROUS, and say Wily is equal in strength to Zero.




...oooh sorry, I was still laughing. Anyways, assuming that, does Ultros even beat Tanner?

Wily would just score higher. Proto just doesn't have that kind of recognition, which is rather unfortunate, as Proto is my 2nd favorite character.

http://img132.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img132&image=bawk8ko.jpg

Yeah, I love Protoman, but there's no doubt that Wily is stronger. Still, we don't have a conclusive idea of where Blues stands anyway. We just have a possible floor for him.
---
Hi,I'm partystar. ^_^
Or maybe I'm Leonhart. That's for you to decide.

Considering Mega couldn't SFF Zero, I'm betting Proto got SFF'd to hell and back.
