I know I'll be taking tiebreakers a lot more seriously from now on, that's for sure...

My Video Game World Records: http://www.twingalaxies.com/index.aspx?c=22&p=35289

Luca Blight was the ultimate loser in this contest (lost to Wesker, who lost to Kefka, who lost to Diablo, who lost to Ganondorf, who lost to Sephiroth).

He joins Gordon Freeman, Ryo Hazuki, River City Ransom, and Viewtiful Joe in the Ultimate Losers Group.

I don't want to say this, but yoblazer's making me for him pwning me in the Guru Contest! *grumble*

There's a brief (as in the complete antithesis of Ulti's analysis) writeup of the contest in my blog right now (located in my quote).

Jon Thomson - 70 points with a Sephiroth win.
I am to yoblazer as the Yankees are to the Red Sox. Inferior.

3 Bowser 33.78
(2k4 Solid Snake 33.05)

Kickass. Now THAT's what I call an increase!

Ganondorf's starting to climb back... is that only a fluke? Either way, Kuja's back ahead of Ghaleon, Kefka ahead of Ocelot, and Wesker and Glove ahead of Ramirez.

Ganondorf seems to be winning the early after school vote, albeit slightly, which takes me by surprise.

Congratulations to yoblazer for winning the Sp2k5 Guru Contest!

Just for kicks, is there anyone you would put over Seph in a direct match-up between the two after his matches against Bowser and Ganondorf?

Not Samus (yet), although that would be very enticing.

I would consider both Samus and Crono.

There's no way Crono would beat Sephiroth. SFF, anyone?

I would consider Samus as well.

Sephiroth barely SFF'd Vivi, I don't see how he'd do it to Crono.

Got a question for you guys now. Who do you think would win a Shadow/Diablo match?

Shadow, easily. Diablo wouldn't be expected to beat Knuckles, much less Shadow.

How do you know that Sephiroth barely SFF'd Vivi? Where's your proof of that?
---

ZSB [aX]

I think that talk comes from Vivi doing better than everyone expected. He almost held Sephiroth under 70%. If you base Vivi off of DK 2003, then there's some indication that there was SFF. The problem with the big ape, much like Mega Man, is that we only have one year with any conclusive numbers on him.

Ganon is doing an awesome job right now. He's been around 43% for most of the day. I knew he wouldn't be falling apart as much as Bowser did. And Ganon is indeed stronger than Bowser, despite how so many believed otherwise. ;)

"I won't just be a memory..." - Sephiroth

so will we have that 100k vote total?

ll this match has to do is slightly less then what bowser vs. seph did from this point in time until the end to reach that goal. In all likelyhood, yes this will be a 100K vote match.

is there anyone you would put over Seph in a direct match-up between the two after his matches against Bowser and Ganondorf?

At this point, I would very much reconsider taking Samus over Sephiroth. It doesn't seem nearly as out there as before.

---
Yoblazer: I'm about three things: kicking ass; taking names; and winning GameFAQs contests.

I already discussed Samus/Sephiroth with FastFalcon today, and we both agreed that Heroic Mario would come out and say he might take Samus over Sephiroth. A winner is us!

I remember back before this contest people were always saying that taking Samus over Sephiroth would be "wasted points"...g'hahaha.

---
"Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?"
"Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think."

Heh. Not only do we get to start up the Samus/Sephiroth debate again, but, if you go through least-square differences (excluding Liquid Snake) and assume that the Magus/Ganondorf is the same as in 2k3 (so, yeah, lots of assumptions), 2k4 Sonic/Magus would be expected to go to Sonic with 50.75% of the vote. So we can start contemplating Sonic/Magus again, too, as well as assuage any doubts about Magus' 2k3 four pack being overrated.
---
Congratulations to yoblazer for winning the Sp2k5 Guru Contest!

and assume that the Magus/Ganondorf is the same as in 2k3

After this contest, I can certainly believe that Ganon is at least the same as he was in 2003. I think there's an option there for him to have increased, but certainly not the drop some others were talking about earlier.

---
Yoblazer: I'm about three things: kicking ass; taking names; and winning GameFAQs contests.

I should have worded that better. I meant that the relationship between Magus and Ganondorf is the same; ie: Magus would still beat Ganondorf with 50.3% of the vote. What I have right now through least square differences puts Ganondorf at 36.09% on 2k3 Link, a bit over a percent higher than his 2k3 value.
---
Congratulations to yoblazer for winning the Sp2k5 Guru Contest!

Well at least we now know that considering ganon to be around dante level would be a horrible mistake to make in a bracket.

Oddly enough, though, even with them having a common opponent, I would still be very tempted to take Bowser over Ganon, I mean, the Nintendo split could go either way.

"Revenge is a dish best served cold." - Old Klingon Proverb

Well, with Link/Mario, we know where the Nintendo split went. I'd take Ganon over Bowser, but 2 things.

1. The split wouldn't be as big as it was with Link/Mario.

2. I wouldn't be as confidient with my Ganon pick as I would with Link/Mario.

well, for whatever it's worth, maybe it's not the nintendo split that abandoned Mario but the Square vote that backed Link.

"Revenge is a dish best served cold." - Old Klingon Proverb

There's no way Crono would beat Sephiroth. SFF, anyone?

FF VII couldn't manage a significant amount of SFF against Chrono Trigger, so I doubt FF VII's #2 character would manage much against CT's #1. Crono's expected to get 56.46% against ganon, so I think it could be close.

Ganon is doing a really nice job of not falling below 43%.

---
Yoblazer: I'm about three things: kicking ass; taking names; and winning GameFAQs contests.

I would prolly take Bowser over Ganondorf, but that is more of a product of some bias. I mean, unbiased, I think it really is a coin flip (maybe a little in the favor of Ganondorf), but given that I think Bowser is a much better character - and villain - I would be willing to throw away those however many points to go with my gut.

At work today, I caught the poll in the mid 66ks. I was trying to get 66666, but I missed and got 66665 and 66667. I forget the exact number of votes, but the percentages were exactly 57%/43% at 66667 votes.

Despite being in an 11-way tie for 4th in the Guru challenge, I got totally owned by Yoblazer.

I think Bowser is a much better character - and villain - I would be willing to throw away those however many points to go with my gut.

That's a lie. Bowser isn't "much better" than Ganon in either one. But to say Bowser is a better villain than Ganon is just flat-out lie.
