I don't know what happened to Seph this year, but damn does it hurt.

It felt very good. =p

I'd like to see CT vs. OOT, myself.

Why? It would suck.

*PWNED BY YOBLAZER in the Guru Contest*
Congrats, and hopefully you win the whole thing.

Jill vs. Ryu cost me 3 points by only 27 votes. (I think.) Well, I did predict the winner wrong in that contest, so it doesn't really matter.

Actually Jill vs. Ryu turned out to be a 1 point match when Ryu lost to Sora, although at the time everyone thought it was a 3 point match.

Congrats to yoblazer, the Guru contest winner!

why would it suck? I thought the same thing about LTTP vs. CT, and that match was awesome. OOT would probably win, but it sure would beat the boring matches of this contest.

It still cost him three points since he had Jill beating Sora as well, I would assume.

Hi,I'm partystar. ^_^
Or maybe I'm Leonhart. That's for you to decide.

Sephiroth's closing in on 58% as we close in on 100,000 votes.

It wouldn't be Ryu/Jill costing him the points though, as regardless of who won that match the points were lost anyway.

And I can't recall--why was that match redone, again?

Oh wait...server outage, right?

Some of the servers were still displaying the Sora/HK-47 match.

Well, if he'd gotten it right, it'd have only cost him two instead of three.

Now I'm just being technical.

Right -- I picked Jill over Sora. That means I automatically lost the next match, too.

Current Match Prediction -- Sephiroth vs. Ganondorf
Spring 2005 Contest -- 63/64 points

Who would win this Four-Pack?

Jak
Conker
Ratchet
Crash Bandicoot

Jak.

Jak, easily.

They're all ridiculously close, minus Ratchet, but I'd be taking Conker as his newest release is set to be in less than 3 weeks.

And for the love of God, I still can't figure out why most of us thought that.

Yoblazer did rather well in the guru contest.
Rather well, indeed.

Looks like Sephiroth should hit 58% just as the poll hits 100k votes... and with almost two hours to spare. Booyah.

That would be Psycho Mantis from MGS.

Guess Dorf will end slightly under 52%. Still better than Bowser, but I was hoping for better :'(

Yeah, slightly under 42 percent.

I haven't played any of the MGS games either. Which is why I picked Wily to beat Ocelot and Lavos to beat Liquid >_>;

OK, I am now nominating Psycho Mantis for the next Summer Contest. He was one of the few MGS villains with "far-fetched" abilities that I could tolerate.

C'mon Seph you gotta have about 2000 votes left in you......

Lucid and Yoblazer, I wouldn't worry too much.... Last summer, I was in 27th place overall and tied for 10th place for prizes. You'll find quite a few people who aren't eligible. A decent tiebreaker should be enough for you guys. I'actually might be pretty close with my tiebreaker... I picked 59831.

Graduation: April 30, 2005 "There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those that read binary and those that don't."

Er...how did I manage that :P

Yeah 42%. I WISH he had just under 52%.

Gdorf and Bowser wouldn't be far apart in strength it seems, although would a match between them be all that close? Or would Ganondorf get sff on his side? I don't think it would be very bad if there was any at all.

Sephiroth vs. Ganon
2005-06-02 22:25:01 58488 42311 58.02% 41.98% 16177

Bowser vs. Sephiroth
2005-05-31 22:25:00 38571 56418 40.61% 59.39% 17847

From this point, Sephiroth increased his lead by 746 votes and his percentage by 0.16%.

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

Ganondorf didn't do so well with ye olde late night vote. Least square analysis has Sephiroth back on top of Samus, by 0.06%. It's mainly a moral victory, though, as they would be useless in a situation that close.
---
Congratulations to yoblazer for winning the Sp2k5 Guru Contest!

Jak vs Crash would be one match I'd never want to pick, even if Jak 3 exists.

I don't see why. Jak has practically supplanted Crash in the platforming world, and he already had a decently comfortable cushion BEFORE Jak 3 was released. Crash has pretty much dropped off the face of the earth, and he's got nowhere to go but down.

Oh, Ocelot has overtaken Bison, and Ridley has fallen behind Wily and Nemesis (though he's still ahead of Liquid).

Is there anybody who would take Ridley over Liquid? Because if there is, I have some lakefront property I would like to sell ya...

Arthas and Sephiroth look so alike, it's scary. They're both villians as well and both have similar type agendas and so on...

Human beings are like rabbits: they're totally clueless, wander around aimlessly and reproduce like mad.

That's a good thing. Diablo > Ocelot.

---

Yeah, sure. Whatever you say.

And regardless of how you look at it, the gap between Bowser and Ganondorf isn't as large as it appeared in 2003, which is a very good thing.
---
Hi,I'm partystar. ^_^
Or maybe I'm Leonhart. That's for you to decide.

Arthas should be in the contest or should have been. He wouldn't have been fodder for sure.

I think: Diablo > Arthas >= Kerrigan
