Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 139
From: ChichiriMuyo | Posted: 6/4/2005 11:13:30 PM | Message Detail
Over-all: North is stacked too low. Only two character are main contest worthy*, one of which is edged out by not one or two but THREE higher priority characters. The rest have no place in the summer contest and serve as fodder/mid-range characters here.

East has a fair mix of power throughout, but Cammy should be swapped with Rouge. RtB is bound to be weaker than Amy, and I barely see Amy making it... if you insist on Rogue being in put her in her proper place... low. Also, Cammy/Kasumi is a much harder to predict match.

South is the new Ruin, and I'll be damned if you didn't do that on purpose since Terra takes Kefka's spot and Kerrigan takes Diablo's. If You had Cammy/Chu-li in the 6 seed I'd smack you on principle.... Then again rikku has some upset potential here so you may need it anyway. Like the ruin division it screams upset city but in the end would be much more clear cut than initial expectations.

West is STACKED. If you thought baseball players were over doing the steoids just look at this group. Ten to 1 odds you have the second, third and fourth strongest characters in this division. They may not get seedings based on their contest strength, but I have no doubt ceej would divide them up based on his estimations of it. I'll put a top ten list (by my expectations) jsut to show you where they'll fall.

Samus
Aeris
Tifa
Zelda (almost 3rd, too clsoe to tell)
Chun-li
Terra
Peach
Celes
Marle
Joanna Dark (Or Kerrigan, if she's relatively close to Diablo/PD0 doesn't hit it off).

I see Marle = Kefka being fairly accurate, I don't see Kerrigan = Diablo (for the billionth time), I don't see Tifa = Aeris though they'd be close and I don't see much SFF at all since most FF7 fanboys are as split on those two as some people are on Ginger and Mary Anne (Sp?). I see Chun-li slightly higher than Bison and Terra/Peach/Celes being crammed in close. Very close. Celes just seems a tad weaker than Terra to me, but for whatever reason I see her higher than Kefka still. Not by much, of course, so Marle will be close to her as I think Marle can't be much lower than Kefka. Oh, and I don't expect Kerrigan to be the new Diablo. Thx.

*Note: When I say they are worthy of the summer contest that means 19%+ on 2k4 Link, or at least as strong as Ness.

Actually, on second thought, Yuna did better in 2k3 than I remembered. She barely fits in as "Summer contest worthy" making her division a little less badly made... but when compared to the last division this one seems by all definitions weak.

Yeah, KOS gets the Summer nominations to warrent a 1 seed in an all-females bracket above any of your 1 seeds excepting Samus. Yes, in nomination terms she's more deserving than the second strongest character in the contest. Thank god there are 4 1 seeds.

As a comparision here's my bracket. Hasn't been revised at all (no one had anything that bad to say about it except "where's Celes"). It has my biases clearly featured in it, but I tried to be realistic when possible and frankly I do think that more fighters would make it in a females contest simply because they are 1: characterized as being strong in their own rights which make them more likeable, 2: are given nearly equal treatment and screentime in their games as their male counterparts, and 3: fighters seem to have more females as playable characters than any genre short of RPGs.

Samus
Amy Rose

Kid
Cammy

Kerrigan
Rikku

Yuna
Nina Williams



KOS-MOS
Sonya

Tifa
Roll

Peach
Rinoa

Chun-li
Mai



Aeris
Silvia

Morrigan
Aya Brea

Sniper Wolf
Claire

Zelda
Ms Pac-man



Jill Valentine
Trish

Marle
Joanna Dark

Terra
Kasumi

Lara Croft
Dixie Kong

Characters I had that you didn't:
KOS-MOS (duh!)
Kid (CC needs some reppin')
Nina Williams (people have talked about her for the real deal, I doubt she has it in her but I could see her in a femals bracket)
Sonya (Feels right to have a MK rep, though I doubt it'd happen honestly)
Rinoa (Hate is overrated, if characters like Tidus and MC can make the big show AND do respectable Rinoa can make a girly bracker)
Mai (It's me)
Silvia (VJ still has support, I think, though we now know it's no powerhouse)
Morrigan (How could you forget her! Out of all the females in 2k2 she'd be the strongest today if you ask me)
Sniper Wolf (MGS fans never fail to get a rep, and I heard her name more though I think Meryl is more likely... The Boss seems the lest likely of the 3 to me)

Your seeds (My seeds)

1. Yuna (2) - I can't support her as a 1. She'll be up there, but not on top.
1. Samus Aran (1) - Of course I agree
1. Terra Branford (3) - She'll be high, but Kefka gets the FF6 noms. I just don't see the support being there, even for a potentially stronger contestant.
1. Aeris Gainsborough (1) - Agreed
2. Claire Redfield (6) - Fallen star, quite forgotten, and in a "proper" nomination system I don't think she'd have made it in 2k2, even.
2. Jill Valentine (1) - She's still a force in the nomination phase, given that she's one of only 4 females to make 2k4. Maybe she wouldn't be a 1 but I'd agree she's at least a 2.
2. The Boss (N/A) - I don't see her making it, I think Meryl is the tops for MGS chicks.
2. Princess Zelda (2) - Agreed
3. Chun-Li (2) - The peeps won't soon forget Bison's showing. She'll be up there, 2 or 3 are both believable.
3. Celes Chere (N/A) - Is there room for two girls fom one game? I mean, really, the only games to get double reps all had at least one charactre in multiple games, excepting FF6. The chance is there, and real, but with the fierce competition between FF ladies this may not happen.
3. Princess Peach (3) - Agreed
3. Tifa Lockheart (4) - She strikes me as being significantly weaker in the noms than Aeris. This is about right for her
4. Kasumi (3) - You could easily be right about Tifa and Kasmui being swapped from what I had... I jsu tthink with the DOA blitz that's being pushed we'll see some renewed interest in boobs.
4. Dizzy (N/A) - My bracket was crowded with fighters and the GG sect has proven inffectual even when organized behind a single character.
4. Joanna Dark (5) - I did my bracket as more of a "here and now" thing. I have respect enough for PD0 to believe Joanna could conceivably take a 1 seed...
4. Roll (5) - Don't respect her that much since the MM fanbase doesn't really either. And I think she competes with a near-miss character in Iris for noms.
5. Sheena Fujibayashi (N/A) - already explained it...
5. Rouge the Bat (N/A) - I have little respect for Amy and think she makes it first.
5. Lara Croft (2) - One of only 4 femmes to make 2k4, I respect he ability to gether nominations more than you. Maybe not a 2 seed, but deffinately upper-half.
5. Krystal (N/A) - no respect, period.
6. Marle (4) - I do no doubt the CT fanbase, I may even expect her higher than I placed her.
6. Lyndis (N/A) - General disrespect for Fire Emblem in contests. Outside of Roy and Marth I don't think the general GameFAQs population knows any FE characters.
6. Rikku (6) - General agreeance.
6. Dixie Kong (7) - She's bound to be low. She may have been in what many people consider the best DKC game, but in the grandscheme she's the side-kick's side-kick. Not a warm possition, to say the least.
7. Aya Brea (5) - You're prolly right.
7. Ms. Pac-Man (7) - Agreed, if she makes it it's low. I've gained doubt, however.
7. Sarah Kerrigan (4) - Do I have more respect for SC fans or do just like contrived scenarios... hmm... I lean towards the latter due to my distaste for Kerrigan being not-so-subtle.
7. Trish (8) - I say lower, if at all, but then I don't know what importance she has in DM3.
8. Aika (N/A) - Not seeing it, really. In fact, I see a lot of "Who is Aika?" topics as well. Even less respected in her fanbase than the barely made it Ramirez (and I nominated him myself, but wouldn't touch Aika). Nope, not seeing her.
8. Cammy (5) - I have more respect, and can't see this potential rd2er wasted.
8. Amy Rose (8) - Agreed
8. Paula (N/A) - I don't think the EB fanbase has enough to pull this off. Giygas seems like a barely made it, and while there are fewer females than villains I'd call near elite there are more that I'd call midcarders.

I'm tired and should be sleeping ow, but I think I might like you bracket the best so far (and this does include being over mine) NewLib.

North feels a tad weak over-all, after looking at that one south division with Aeris/Zelda/Tifa, but still has one character I'd take to the big show other than Samus. Not a bad division.

East is stacked a bit weaker over all, but when North has the inevitable champ that's to be expected. I have nearly equal disrespect for both 8s, but think Ivy is a bomb of fantastically weak proportions. Other than the champ herself and Ivy I think the two are evenly built.

South has a "who the hell" in the 8th spot, as I've never heard of and expect to outright tank. Lar is under-respected by us, in terms of her nomination getting power, but I'll let it pass. In distribution of strength I'll call this one weaker than the last two.

West strikes me as having the worst fodder as I have 0 respect for 6-8 and would take and other division's 7 over Rayne... which means there's a problem with that 6, and the fact that I see her beating the 7 and respect the 8 more than either of them in an actual match (though not noms) leads me to believe that this division has the worst low end. Of course It has the best setup finals, giving the most exciting match of the contest in all likelihood.

Yeah... Aeris and Samus, maybe Tifa and Yuffie (depending on how loved FFVII truly is), and...Princess Toadstool/Peach, maybe? Outside of that, I see noone who could challenge Zelda.

1. Yuna
8. Aika


Yuna doesn't need to be anywhere near that high. Although if you're going to include Aika, you've definitely got the right place for her.

4. Dizzy
5. Sheena Fujibayash


This is a good match. I would be taking Sheena, myself.

3. Chun-Li
6. Marle


That's a rather tough first round match, and I take it that was what you were going for. Although with proper seeding, Marle should be a lot higher.

2. Claire Redfield
7. Aya Brea


Decent. It's one of those matches you just don't care about.




1. Samus Aran
8. Cammy


Cammy should be switched with someone else, because she'd do far better than Kasumi or Rouge against Samus in the second round.

4. Kasumi
5. Rouge the Bat


I'd say that is good for the unpredictability it might bring.

3. Celes Chere
6. Lyndis


...

Damn you for doing that to Lyn. ;_;

2. Jill Valentine
7. Ms. Pac-Man


Jill has a nice seed. Ms. Pac-Man shouldn't even be in it.



1. Terra Branford
8. Amy Rose


Nice beating.

4. Joanna Dark
5. Lara Croft


I like this one. I would take Joanna over her, but a rather good one.

3. Princess Peach
6. Rikku


I definitely like this one. It strikes me as one that many people would split between the two.

2. The Boss
7. Sarah Kerrigan (>_>)


Mwa ha ha! Kerrigan walks out of the division. <3


1. Aeris Gainsborough
8. Paula


Heh. Poor EB characters.

4. Roll
5. Krystal


Wow. That's an interesting one. I mean damn.

3. Tifa Lockheart
6. Dixie Kong


Pretty good. The setup against Zelda is vicious.

2. Princess Zelda
7. Trish


You've got all three of the strongest females who aren't Samus in a division. That's cruel, but it's what makes thing interesting. I would be taking Zelda out of the division.

The only character for certain that I would see being stronger than Zelda is Samus. Aeris and Tifa are no doubt around that level making it a big question mark, but any others I don't see challenging her.

From: Mac Arrowny | Posted: 6/5/2005 5:29:02 AM | Message Detail
Yuna would probably be pretty strong, thanks to FFX-2. I see her gaining more strength from that game than from FFX, since she's the main character. She'd definitely be above Knuckles...I see her being between Knuckles and Alucard, maybe a bit above.

Above ALUCARD? Now that's just a pipe dream. That'd be getting damn close to Tidus and Auron, actually. I still say she'd be lucky to beat Knuckles... although Dante DID get some sort of boost from DMC2, which is scary.

From: Slowflake | Posted: 6/5/2005 5:47:09 AM | Message Detail
In 2002, Cloud had ONE game, and Mario had... well, your guess is as good as mine. And the fact that the first major Mario title in six years was released that day was all that kept Mario in the match in the first place.

Number of games isn't an argument. You'd be hard-pressed to find someone who would vote Yuna based on FFX-2 alone. Heck, I bet she even lost a bunch of people who voted for her two years ago.

True. After X-2, there's no way I'd vote for her over Knux, though I would still vote for her given the right opponent. I see Yuna at about the level she was at in 2K3.

In 2002, Cloud had ONE game, and Mario had... well, your guess is as good as mine.

Four, actually. FF VII, Chocobo Racing, FF Tactics, Ergheiz. All playable.

heh, i've said for weeks now that next SpC2K6 WILL be the Female Contest. so far, out of the three versions posted so far, i do like Janus's the best (except for the obvious lack of KOS-MOS, who would be a powerhouse).

and barring any cool new chicks over the next year, here's the 32 i think could do the most damage with somewhat reasonable seeding:

Ancient Division


1 Aeris
8 Jeane (Suikoden series)

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

3 Rinoa
6 Claire Redfield

2 KOS-MOS
7 Lara Croft

Hylain Princess Division


1 Zelda
8 Beatrix (FF9)

4 Dixie Kong
5 Roll

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

2 Tifa
7 Lyndis

Toadstool Division

1 Peach
8 Sheena Fujibayash (Tales of Symphonia)

4 Chun-Li
5 Yuna

3 Sarah Kerrigan
6 Morrigan

2 Terra
7 Taki (Soul Calibur)

Bounty Hunter Division


1 Samus
8 Luna (Lunar:SSS)

4 Meryl
5 Joanna Dark

3 Marle
6 Cammy

2 Jill Valentine
7 Celes

i think that is both tough to predict and reasonably close to who would get nominated. what does anyone think?

i do like Lyndis, HM, and i do think she could get enough support to make it, put i really can't see Fire Emblem support as being all that high, especially after it got doubled by FFTA last Spring. granted, that match was immediately after FE was released, and didn't have enough time to build a lasting impression, but i still don't think Lyn would be much of a contender at all.

although, to be fair, i could switch Lyn with Jam to make a good matchup, but i think Mai vs. Jam would be the ultimate TJF match pic. >_>

Chichiri, Bastila is the leading lady in Knights of the Old Republic and basically just put in there because I like her.

Yoblazer made me look like Tanner in the Guru Contest.

On a friend's computer...but, Tifa > Aeris > Zelda. LoZ:TP might boost Zelda pretty good, but to be fair, FF:AC will help Tifa and Aeris become a lil' stronger too...I'd guess Tifa> Zelda > Aeris after those releases.

Oh, and I see Halo 3 gaining through-out the day...but not very much; NOTHING (as far as I'm aware of) has been released about the game other than it's gonna be released almost simultaniously with the PS3. Run this poll again around New Year's and see how the poll goes then (although LoZ:TP would be out by then, and maybe some others).

Whoa whoa whoa, slow down, there's a Halo 3?

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

Mhmm; not comin' out this year though; it's for the 360 and probably coming out in early March, I think.

I think Halo 3's supposed to launch on the day the PS3 launches.

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.

That doesn't make any sense. How can Bret Hart be watching Wrestlemania 21 if he's still living in 1997? -BrahmaBuzzsaw88

Grabbing over 40% in a poll with Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, and Halo titles in it is nothing short of remarkable.

Congratulations to yoblazer for winning the Sp2k5 Guru Contest!

I wonder how it would go if Burnout Whatever and Elder Scrolls 4 got replaced with MP3 and SSBO.

Why does he insist on ALWAYS putting Burnout in these polls anyway? It always finishes dead last, in a fashion that makes Gordon Freeman look like a winner.

Who's the hero of burnout, if there is one? Perhaps there could be someone lower than Tanner.

SSBO very well could have rivaled LoZ:TP in this poll. Not beat it, but, it could have done some damage. Instead of MP3 (heh, mp3), I'd rather see the new Mario here. THAT would be a hell of a poll.

Final Sp2K5 Score: 70 points. Yoblazer pwned me harder than Link in a match versus Tanner.

"Who the hell would nominate Iris?"

I would, should I feel the need to support a MM female. Okay, so my MMX knowledge is very limited (MMX4 is the only game I remember playing much other than the original MMX). Either way I don't see Roll as NOT having some competition with the X series.

"I cannot imagine a scenario where Zelda is not a #1 seed. There's no doubt whatsoever that's what seed she would acquire."

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

"Outside of that, I see noone who could challenge Zelda."

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

HM, after reading your comments on the first bracket proposed I'm wonder, how DOyou disagree with me? Other than Lyndis (who I don't think people will know) and your Kerrigan Fanboyism all of your comments line up pretty well with mine stating with Yiuna being seeded too high and going right down the list to the last division being stacked with the three strongest non-Samus characters. If our disagreement level is so ridiculous why doesn't it show? Or are you just overstating that like a MM character in a match?

"I'd rather see the new Mario here."

Agreed. I'm more hyped for that than TP. Somehow I managed to pick TP, though I know I'll be dissapointed like the last 2.5 Zelda titles (I loved OoT until the forest palace, after that it got tedious and finishing it was a bit of a relief)
