Phazon Suit Samus owns. She's pulling a Mega Man and blasting Yuri into oblivion, who looks kinda fruity.

Meh. Lame.

No Naked Snake for Big Boss, it seems.

Interesting to note that green seems to be the color of choice for the Zebes division, as every match has a character with his/her name in that color.

Well, the match pic definitely benefit Samus, Frog, Ganon and Auron respectively, if that's even a factor really...

Heh, Lloyd narrowly beat Wesker.

Looks like he's overrated afterall.

So I guess I can be more confident in my Diablo > Kratos pick now.

No, Yuna most definitely has the picture factor.

Riku/Frog is kinda lame, though Frog does look like he's about to decapitate him.

I'd say it's:

Samus vs. Yuri: neutral
Frog vs. Riku: mild edge Riku
Ganon vs. Yuna: neutral; though Yuna's chest might help her improve over past performance
Auron vs. Big Boss: big edge Auron

Based on Sp2k5 Wesker: Lloyd is at 14.97%, barely above Gordon Freeman.

Based on a static 2004 Luca Blight: Lloyd is at 18.30%, between Conker and Crash Bandicoot.

Still below Vyse though, baby.

Big Boss doesn't get the "Naked Snake" pic, so Auron has this one in the bag. Glad we got that one out of the way. Now we can get back to explaining why Magus is going to hand Squall his ass.

Big Boss never had a chance, even with a Naked Snake picture. Solid Snake would have a hard enough time beating Auron.

I've been thinking, since Samus has a different color suit, could she be weaker (in SSB/SSBM only has her as her original color)

Ganon has such a better picture. Those nose owns anything Yuna has. ;)

Yeah, yeah, shush. I'm surprised Lloyd is that low, to be honest. I didn't figure he was disliked that much. But hopefully Kratos can at least do better than Lloyd because I shudder to imagine just how far down ToS characters could all end up being. Luckily, I switched to Diablo prior.

Oh, and damn Ness for winning that match. It's the first time I predicted something wrong concerning EarthBound. <.<

5/10 - I don't like how Samus looks in her so-called Phazon suit, can't comment on Yuri.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b06.jpg
6/10 - Riku looks girly, although Frog looks great.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b07.jpg
8/10 - Both chars are clear and recognizable.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/sum05/b08.jpg
7/10 - Auron looks great, albeit a bit too dark, but Big Boss is just... plain.

For all we know, something could be up with Wesker or the Spring Contest stats just aren't transitive.

Watch Lloyd surprise us and get 35% on Zero.

If ssbm pulled a kingdom hearts and randomly changed their names then she might, but as it is it's pretty hard to face Samus without knowing her name (same goes for any character).

I'm surely hoping that was pure sarcasm. Unless you think Mario would be weaker if he were Fire Mario? We haven't seen that since Super Mario World...

I don't think it's Lloyd. It's probably Tales of Symphonia as a whole. I wouldn't expect Kratos to be too much stronger.

Gannon's too busy staring at Yuna's rack. Auron on the other hand is about to pull his sword out. Not quite the same as Frog and Samus, but he looks like he's about to kick some serious ass.

That's probably true. Unless, like Leonhart mentioned, Wesker totally screws everything up and is actually stronger than that and Lloyd pulls a higher than expected percentage against Zero. But yeah, I would assume ToS as a whole is pretty weak.

Good grief. Zero performed like garbage. He was projected to get 67.04% based on the adjusted stats and ended up getting 63%?

Heh. That is actually very, very close to his unadjusted value, where he would have been projected to get 63.77%.

Considering most of my bracket is based off of no SFF occuring between megaman and link, zero's performance is a good thing. On the other hand Zero is easily one of the best chaarcters in the contest, and as such doesn't deserve to drop so drastically. Oh well.
