... Has there been any talk about new contests? I'm not exactly on that often (second time this week...), so...

Also, hello, Chichiri. ^_^

I would expect Halo 3 to do a little with the day vote, but not anything huge.

It's above MGS4 now.

The Guru Contest: Where yoblazer owned my ass.

Ancient Division

1 Aeris
8 Jeane (Suikoden series)

I can't see Suiko scraping togater a contestant outside of Luca.

4 Mai Shiranui (Fatal Fury)
5 Jam Kudoiberi (Guilty Gear)

Both strike me as over seeded, and they are my favorite females from their respective games. Hell, Jam's my favorite GG character period. Auto-loss round 2.

3 Rinoa
6 Claire Redfield

Not bad of a match, it'll kill quite a few people early on (even though the stronger character will be seeded higher) like Frog/Liquid. Rinoa seems a little high for her age though.

2 KOS-MOS
7 Lara Croft

Only 4 females made it to 2k4, and you've seeded one of them as a 7? She's droping like a brick but when the competition has weakened this much I still see Lara getting at least a middle seed. KOS will be vaguely competitive in the div finals, but not a winner by any means.


Hylain Princess Division

1 Zelda
8 Beatrix (FF9)

I love Beatrix but I can't see her making it before Garnet in all honesty.

4 Dixie Kong
5 Roll

I don't see either getting seeded that high. It'd be a tough match to call if they were though.

3 Kid (Chrono Cross)
6 Kairi (Kingdom Hearts)

Wow, that's a killer. KH is so unpredictable it's not even funny. Could go either way, but I'd back Kid.

2 Tifa
7 Lyndis

Eh. Toughest Division finals, at least.

Toadstool Division

1 Peach
8 Sheena Fujibayash (Tales of Symphonia)

Peach stomps. I'm not sure why so many pick Sheenam since I haven't played the game, but I get the feeling Colette is the main female. That being said, I can't see Sheena making it.

4 Chun-Li
5 Yuna

Another bracket breaker, but an easy Chun-li victory in my book. Vs. Peach will be a tight match, and the winner will do so only barely.

3 Sarah Kerrigan
6 Morrigan

I don't expect any 2k2 characters to be the houses they once were, I'd take Kerrigan in this match but not the second.

2 Terra
7 Taki (Soul Calibur)

I really hate people matching up Terra with Morrigan. It's like you're trying to recreate the Ruin division finals. Sorry, but I tend to consider those things lame. Terra to the finals and with an ever so slight win.

Bounty Hunter Division

1 Samus
8 Luna (Lunar:SSS)

I love Luna, and would love to see her in a contest, but the support isn't there for her like Ghaleon and he didn't do so hot in the contest. Can't see her making it.

4 Meryl
5 Joanna Dark

Tough match, but only a 1 pointer.

3 Marle
6 Cammy

Also a tough match. I'd pick Marle but I wouldn't expect a slaughter. The next round match is also tough.

2 Jill Valentine
7 Celes

7 over 2 victoly! I think the next match would kill me for thinking about it. I guess Celes wins, I dunno.

Overall: I think the hardest bracket to predict yet. In fact, so hard we'd never see it.

Hi Mumei!

Yoblazer just kicked my ass!

Ooh I think Suikoden could scrape together Viktor if there was a hero's contest. But perhaps it is only wishful thinking on my part.

---
RIP: Tnote827 - 4/4/2005
YoBlazer(33) & Robotnik pwned my (Ro)butt in Sp2k5

Yeah, it's wishful thinking. There's way too much competition in a heroes contest.
---
Hi,I'm partystar. ^_^
Or maybe I'm Leonhart. That's for you to decide.

^_~

I just read the first 4 pages, and I love the Kerrigan talk. However, I am still deeply disturbed that Heroic Mario is the one going on about Kerrigan. That is almost a guarantee that she will be weak. ;_;

Flee back to your masters, Aldaris, and huddle with them in darkness! For your actions shall set us all unto the Zerg! ~ Tassadar

If it was 64 heroes (since ceej would undoubtedly call any goodguy a hero) I might see it. Even though heroes own the summer it's also filled with chicks, badies, sidekicks and anti-heroes. If you go be the deffinition of Hero there'd be a lot of room, but I think a Sui character would still barely miss out.

But what if HM said that Diablo was going to crush her? Maybe she could win! ^_^

Too late. He's already said she could beat Diablo.

What if HM switches before the match happens? I mean, it's never happened before, but...

Flee back to your masters, Aldaris, and huddle with them in darkness! For your actions shall set us all unto the Zerg! ~ Tassadar

He's blindly accepting that she should be equal to Diablo despite all the things he has going for him that she does not. Sorry, but I can't see her as a top 10 female (which is undoubtedly the ridiculous number of things he disagrees with me on) and I can't see her as strong as Diablo. If there were no SFF I'd expect him to win with nearly 60% of the vote.
---
Yoblazer just kicked my ass!

It won't happen.

Won't do any good, he's talking that ***** up like he would a Mega Man character.
---

I don't know what I see her as, really. I think that she'd beat Diablo, but I think it is a possibility that she'd lose.

And you have to understand, HM is currently high on Starcraft. <3 Starcrack.

At the end of round 1, when Ansem looked pitiful and we didn't know how the rest of the Triforce division compared, I said I would take Ansem over Kerrigan. After seeing Ansem actually being the second strongest in that division, I would still take him over Kerrigan. I can't convince you, but Kerrigan is not to StarCraft/SC:BW as Diablo is to Diablo/Diablo II/DII:LoD.
---
Despite being in an 11-way tie for 4th in the Guru challenge, I got totally owned by Yoblazer.

So what, Kerrigan=CATS according to you?

Damn, I knew she isn't held in the highest of regards, but equal to CATS? Christ. Kerrigan would eat CATS alive.
---
Yoblazer > Kerrigan > Sp2005 > My sad, sad little 68 point bracket.

Eat CATS alive, huh? You'd be hard pressed to get me to believe that. You people give too much credit to Kerrigan.
---
Yoblazer just kicked my ass!

She'd get 60/40 on CATS.
---
Yoblazer did rather well in the guru contest.
Rather well, indeed.

60/40 is at least believable, but hardly constitutes a phrase such as "eating him alive". Link and Cloud are CATS alive, even Ryu did... Diablo would not have done so by my deffinition. That's a phrase best left for near-elites, and Kerrigan is by no means such a thing.

thanks, Chichi. as i live and breathe, i will not rest until Ceej gives us a difficult bracket to predict!!

and in regards to CATS vs. Kerrigan, i feel that if CATS gets his face pic, it would be a very close match.

I'm one of the people who think she'd be fairly weak O_o

I don't see her being that weak though.

Diablo > Kerrigan, Kerrigan > Ansem...those are my guesses.
---
Roses are red, violets are blue, Yoblazer has owned each and every guru.
Enjoy your prizes, bro.

Her missing the last contest gives me doubts. She'd be seeded quite high, of course, but she could conceivably miss the 1.

Well, sure, she missed the big show, but so did Aeris. You certainly wouldn't hesitate to give Aeris a #1 seed would you? I wouldn't. And I wouldn't hesitate to give Zelda her #1 seed. There honestly isn't a situation where I could imagine someone getting the seed over her. I see it going two Nintendo and two Square, especially in a very limited female contest.

For seeding? You're missing KOS-MOS who always gets seeded well.

I think I said that comment from actual matches. The only characters that are no doubt ahead of Zelda is Samus. Aeris and Tifa are the other two with some doubts surrounding them, but are right there with her. Everyone else is significantly beneath those four.

how DOyou disagree with me? Other than Lyndis (who I don't think people will know) and your Kerrigan Fanboyism

That and how who would we would take in the big matches concerning Zelda/Tifa/Aeris. I suppose that's the bulk of it, but I can go back and check again to see what I disagreed with the most. It seemed like it was so much that I didn't bother to respond to any of the points. =p

Or are you just overstating that like a MM character in a match?

Speaking of which, I refuse to believe there are any other Mega Man characters that are capable of doing anything in a match. I think you mentioned Roll being weak, and I couldn't agree more.

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

but I get the feeling Colette is the main female. That being said, I can't see Sheena making it.

That was another thing. Colette may be the "main female," but the most liked female from that game was Sheena. I would expect her to perform better than Colette for a variety of reasons.

Oh, good grief. Are you being serious? You're on the other end of that spectrum, buddy. You don't give Kerrigan enough credit, especially with all the advantages she has over Diablo. To think that she wouldn't rip CATS a new one is just... crazy. Pushing that whole Ganon only gets 55% against Dante crazy.

i will agree with HM here. i'm about 25% through the game (i think), and although Collette is the main chick, i can't stand her. Sheena is far cooler. even Raine is cooler. i haven't ran into Presea yet, though, so i can't judge her yet. but yeah, Collette sucks.

Axl. Tron Bonne. I could see both of them performing well enough to lose respectably in Round 1 against decent opposition.

Well duh, I mean, what else is there to like about Sheena? Her battling skills?

I think Raine > Sheena > Presea >>>>>>>>>> Collete, but Sheena is definitely the best looking. Mmm...fanservice.

I could see both of them performing well enough to lose respectably in Round 1 against decent opposition.

I could see both of them being horrible peices of crap that they would undoubtedly be. I don't see how you could expect them to do well when Sigma and Dr. Wily sucked it up.

What I do know is, TP's tearing the competition a new asscrack with that day vote. This is unbelievable... if there ever is a game tournament next year, it could be an absolute monster should it be as good as it's expected to be.

Twilight Princess for the win! <3

I have a feeling I am going to get screwed over this summer by characters from games I've never played.

I could see both of them being horrible peices of crap that they would undoubtedly be. I don't see how you could expect them to do well when Sigma and Dr. Wily sucked it up.

Because unlike you, I don't think they sucked it up. Yes, they didn't perform up to expectations, but they didn't totally implode. I still think that Wily could win a match in a SC if he had a good position (say, a 10 seed against Tails or DK). I'm not saying that any of them will be threatening the contest regulars, but they wouldn't embarrass themselves unless they went up against the Nobles or the Heir Apparents.

---
Yoblazer just kicked my ass!

... Kerrigan at around 12% on Link? Is that what people honestly expect? I was thinking more of around 16% minimum, and maybe a wee bit higher.

SpC2k5 FINAL SCORE: 72/80
*is Janus5000*

but you have yet to convince me that the casual StarCraft player cares for Kerrigan as a chracter, enough to vote for her.

... If people who play SSBM care about a glove, how can they not care about Kerrigan? >_>

You'd better get you're eyes checked, Axl would be weaker than Sigma, and by a large margin too. And unless Namco X Capcom comes out in America, Tron won't do much better than Servbot.

BANG BANG BANG VIPER BEAM!

You have to fight Master Hand many times to unlock everything, but you don't have to actually touch SC's singleplayer... of course, that doesn't mean you didn't touch it anyway >_>

*is Janus5000*

Yeah but Servbot did pretty well in his debut as it is >_>
---
Beacause this guy are a puppet off course!

I actually, um, didn't notice that Diablo was at around 24% on Link. I was really only thinking 21 - 22.5% max for her, so I'm leaning towards Diablo now...
---

I stand by where I've placed Kerrigan, which is above Diablo. She has far more going for her than him.
