That being said, Shadow > Dark Suit
Just how many suits does she has?
I'm thinking he was talking about the annoying rodent.
Anyway, Samus has had Power, Varia, Gravity, Phazon, Dark, Light, Fusion, Fusion Varia, Fusion Gravity, and Omega.

I really do think Leon is the most underrated character in this
contest. He has the potential to be a high end mid-carder (around
Tidus' level).

Shadow the hedgehog?
I've always wondered what's the appeal to him or Wario, other than being negative-clones of their series' respective mascots.
Damn, I always thought Samus only had 5 different power suits.

I just realised why Ness got more bracket support (I'm a little late, I
know). He has a higher seed then CJ. Casual bracket makers tend to
favour higher seeding in practically all matches.

I can't even see Leon being more popular than Jill. Jill is the FACE of Resident Evil. She starred in the first Resident Evil, starred in the third Resident Evil, had the REmake of the first game on Gamecube, had the MvC2 cameo, and even had a movie appearance.
No matter how big you think RE4 is right now, I don't think it would be enough to boost Leon over Jill in popularity.... If anything, they would be at the same strength.

So we're going to see tons of perfects drop when Frog wins? Makes
sense. I remember seeing a n00b the other day who thought Dante was
winning his division because he was the top seed.

Meh, I really don't think Jill is the most popular character in the
series anymore. She's been dropping more and more every year. I could
see Leon being above her. I think he will be, actually.

What about Claire? She's ranked higher than Jill and she's in the same game as Leon. Leon and Claire should have been around the same level before RE4. After RE4, Leon should be higher.

Maybe not in the perfects category, but he is going to have a low prediction percentage. Unless people actually remember his match against Chief, count on it to be low.
Lower seed + Against a more mainstream character = Good combo for us.

Even so, I don't see Leon being stronger than Jill's highest value. He
said that he could see Leon being at Tidus's level. Tidus is at least
around Squall's level, and Squall handled Jill....

Oh, she's a good 5% above that. I suppose it is a bit suspect, what with Ninja Hayabusa performing much better than Arabusa, though.

I'd have to say that I must see his performance on Gordon to say for
sure. But I consider Tidus to be Leon's ceiling while Claire to be his
floor.
But then again, Gordon might do better on Leon because of HL2. We'd have to adjust for that. >_<

Wow. It is remarkably easy to make Luigi strong. Give Samus 3% SFF
against Link (putting her at 40.94%, about 2/3 of the way up to her 2k4
value). This brings Squall up to Tidus, synchs with Jill's 2k2 value
and Crash and KOS-MOS' 2k4, brings Isaac closer to Felix and still
leaves Ratchet as fodder. Incidentally, it puts Luigi at 27.24%.
Now, give Bowser an extra percent and a half on Cloud due the crappy picture Bowser had/KILLING SPREE! Cloud was on, and give Yoshi 4% SFF against Bowser, bringing him up to 47.66% against him. This puts Conker barely above the VFL, but I think that's acceptable. This puts Bowser at 32.52% (about halfway to his Sp2k5 value) and puts Yoshi at 31% (fitting for the favorite character in the Mario series).
Then give Luigi 2% SFF against Yoshi. This puts Ryo about halfway between his 2k2 and 2k3 values, gets Pac Man decently close to his proper 2k3 value (off by 3%), and puts Luigi at 29.46%. Just barely under 2k2 Aeris.
So, 3% SFF, 1.5% overperformance, 4% SFF, and 2% SFF and suddenly Luigi isn't so weak after all.
My obligatory Luigi rant of the night.

Well, if Kefka beats Vercetti he might get his Angel sprite in the next round. We'll see then.
Big whoop; Kefka's still gonna be innacurate because of SFF against Crono (again). Granted, if he shows a big increase against Crono if he has an Angel Kefka pic, that can be a sign...but it still wouldn't be an accurate one.

Samus RULES in that pic. Yuri, well...okay. I didn't realize Rika looked like THAT, and Frog looks like his normal Frog-self. Ganon's Ganon, Yuna looks about how she should, Auron's normal, and Big Boss is bad.
I wonder how painful it'd be if Mario got a Starman Mario flashing gif for his sprite pic...
Think about how bad-ass that would be. Think...think some more...think even more than ever. Then imagine it being against Samus (who also has an animating pic of some sort)...great thoughts.
A picture shouldn't cause Zero to underperform by 4%.
Agreed, but it's not 4%; the most reliable signs lead to Zero underperforming by .77%, give or take a lil'.
Zero?
Getting 46% on Mario?
You're starting to sound like HM did a year ago...
Zero got 47.66% on Sonic, and Mario's not exactly leaps and bounds ahead of Zero. It's not impossible.
*cough SHADOW cough*
Mario didn't under-perform against Shadow.
Good point; there is a good bit of stuff to go on. (though I don't see how MC and Liquid Snake are related to pic factor too much)
I suspect by looking at Frog/Solid.
Why did Ryu overperform? I want a reason.
Maybe because he looks like himself for once. Much like CATS and Angel Kefka (though if that's a sign of anything, AK maybe a true force with his human sprite).
You can cling to 2 year old stats if you choose...
With Zero, why not? He still did as expected against Vercetti, and he probably suffered a lil' SFF against Mega Man. What's unreasonable about using 2k3 stats when 2k4 fits with it too?
Can SFF really happen between 2 chars who are so close to each other?
Sora/Aeris.
Sonic's worst year was in 2003, when Zero scored that 48%.
I'll give you that...
Shadow's best year was 2003 when he scored that 45% on Mario.
...but that's anything but proven. Tidus/Shadow was predicted very well (within 1% of statistical expectations), and Tidus has a rep for under-performing against top characters. Mega Man's a top character (as we already know), and Tidus got stomped far worse than expected, costing Shadow some credibility. My belief is this: if the match had been between anybody besides Tidus and Shadow, two characters the board HATES, then people would be alot more open to Tidus under-performing against Mega Man instead of thinking he legitimately dropped that much.
However I don't think he will. I expect Zero to get in the 42%-46% range, myself.
42% to 45% is my guess on Mario/Zero.
Well, the accuracy of the 20XX adjustment will make or break Solid Snake this year, I guess you could say.
That and/or MGS3.
Lloyd's performance is pretty bad, I must say. I expected him to be around the level of KOS-MOS at the max, but he appears to be significantly lower than that.
I'm in your same boat here; me and you both thought we had him drilled there.

I meant this year's Summer Contest. It's pretty clear Kuja's the biggest bomb of all time.
Pac-Man and Gordon Freeman would be worth considering for biggest bombs ever, too. Kuja's plenty worthy of the award too though, no question on that. It's just not that clear.
what other character has such a long track record of losing that they spawned their own catchphrase? GFNW
Losing against easily-beatable characters, no less.
Makes me wonder if perhaps Tifa will overperform on Vyse...
Think bigger; what about Sonic? Also, if the contest somehow is delayed two days so FF:AC is released the day of the match...imagine the chaos.
2k4: DK vs Vivi
That match was NOT close. At all.
Casual bracket makers tend to favour higher seeding in practically all matches.
3-Ryu Hayabusa
14-Jill Valentine

Granted, if he shows a big increase against Crono if he has an Angel
Kefka pic, that can be a sign...but it still wouldn't be an accurate
one.
Against Crono, it'd probably be his normal sprite, or his other battle picture since he wouldn't have home field advantage. Angel Kefka would look awfully out of place in Guardia.

Round 1: (7) Geno
Against Crono, it'd probably be his normal sprite, or his other battle picture since he wouldn't have home field advantage. Angel Kefka would look awfully out of place in Guardia.

then people would be alot more open to Tidus under-performing
against Mega Man instead of thinking he legitimately dropped that much.
I like Tidus. Admittedly, it's not nearly as much as some other choice people, but I'm not believing he dropped out of hatred of his character. I don't even think he dropped that much, however, I'd have a very, very hard time believing he underperformed fully. When you think like that, it's not unreasonable to believe Shadow's strongest year was 2003.

Tidus/Shadow was predicted very well (within 1% of statistical
expectations), and Tidus has a rep for under-performing against top
characters
42% on Sonic before Kingdom Hearts is NOT underperforming. Unless you want Claire Redfield to be an elite.

Well, we really can't take the results of Sonic/Tidus at full value anyway since the poll was down for quite a while.

As he walks the path of life...his name is called for..chanted by
those, his fellow Elites, his equals, who know the power of his
prose...as the noobs, fanbabies, and nerdboys cower in the
darkness...afraid the truth of their blind loyalty will be brought
forth before their judgment clouded eyes...
He answers the call with a tip of his BoSox cap...draws forth his pen to compose the very column that has increased Stats thread readership by 23.39%... He is...

Hahahaha, greetings gamers the world over...the time has come to write once more...be afraid kiddies, be very afraid indeed...
And so for 2005 it continues, in the 'Ridley' Zebes Division..
(1) Samus Aran vs (8) Yuri
Steve's Pick: Samus
Fanboy-O-Meter: Favors Samus astronomically!
Upset Odds: Zilch
Match Fun Factor: 1/10: A laugher this is...the only excitement is...will this be the Biggest Blowout of Round 1?? Could very well be...
Comments: Now this match gives me 2 things to rail about...totally undeserving characters making it, and the way fanbabies flock to their favorites when they crush a worthless jobber.
See, folks, Samus will win this match in about 10 seconds. Yuri is a true nobody. Makes Lloyd look like Mario. He is that obscure. Shadow Hearts??? The heck is that??? If anyone stole Kitana's rightful spot...it is this worthless fodder. Ness I knew had fans...and Lloyd and the Tales games too...but Yuri???
Only Yuri I ever knew that was worth something was found in those SNK v Capcom fighters I used to kick butt at years ago....
Now onto the GFF... Glorified Fanboyism Factor. What this patented term means is: when a character wins by a lot, it bloats their contest strength to levels higher than it really is. Happens most often with overachievers and eventual chokers...2 qualities Samus surely owns.
It happened last year...happened in the spring...and that is this fact my dear kiddies...Metroid games and characters always choke when the stakes are high. And it will happen again...and the seemingly populace favorite will go down later in September...
Let us relive the moment...when Ridley choked and fell at the hands of Diablo...and when the Mama Brain was beaten by brain wannabe Lavos...and when Metroid Prime was vanquished by...oh we get the idea!
Now Yuri vs CATS...that would have been something...it would have been CATS' first victory... sad eh?
Yuri...what a waste...
Prediction: Samus. 80%+. Winner.
Quote of the Day: "I am SOOOO 5 years ago...and I was a nobody then!" -Yuri

That's fine. There's still gonna be SFF though, thus, inaccurate about judging how much Angel Kefka could have done.
I like Tidus. Admittedly, it's not nearly as much as some other choice people, but I'm not believing he dropped out of hatred of his character. I don't even think he dropped that much, however, I'd have a very, very hard time believing he underperformed fully. When you think like that, it's not unreasonable to believe Shadow's strongest year was 2003.
I can see him, ya know, dropping a lil' bit...but I just don't think it's as likely as him supposed to be static. Tidus beat Shadow by more than Shadow was expected to beat Tidus (though, to be fair, it was meant to be very close and it was still close)...if Tidus did a lil' better than expected in a match where no under-performances are expected, then it's hard to imagine him dropping much in general despite his one massive under-performance.
42% on Sonic before Kingdom Hearts is NOT underperforming. Unless you want Claire Redfield to be an elite.
1) Aight, let's take back what I said and say he didn't under-perform then (I don't trust Claire, anyways, heh). It doesn't change the fact he still under-performed against Mega Man badly despite showing a taste of being stronger in 2k4 against Shadow.
2) The poll wasn't up for too long, like Leonhart said.

Zebes Division Round 1 - Match 5 – (1)Samus vs. (8)Yuri
Samus
Game/Series Known From: Metroid
Extrapolated Rank in 2002: 4th (41.07%)
Extrapolated Rank in 2003: 7th (37.94%)
Extrapolated Rank in 2004: 4th (39.50%)

Lost in 2003 to Link in the Elite 8
Lost in 2004 to Cloud in the Final 4
See Samus’s record? It’s pure domination. You go girl! Also, no one other than Clinkeroth has been able to stop her.

Not the kind of Japanese hentai, pervs. It’s Yuri the character from SH:C.
I know Samus vs. Yuri has a ton of joke potential, but eh, I’ll lay off. Yuri is so not a guy’s name either. Anyway, Samus has no troubles here. Our first huge blowout of the Contest, yay! Anyway, I expect Samus to be stronger than Mario, and Yuri to be weaker than Joanna, so you do the math.
Also, Samus got 81% and 82% on Lara and Sam respectively, and there’s no way Yuri will be stronger than them.
Moltar’s Bracket Says: Samus will win.
Moltar’s Prediction is: Samus: 87% - Yuri: 13%
Ulti’s Analysis
Had I played SH: Covenant, I'd have a little more to say about this match. As it stands, it's simply Samus blowing out a character whom I don't know yet. From a statistical standpoint, this match is comparable to Samus/Isaac of 2003. I'd actually be surprised if Yuri managed to do worse, so I'll add a percentage onto Isaac's score and Yuri the benefit of the doubt.
Ulti’s Prediction: Samus with 74.34%
Soul’s Analysis
When I saw this match, I screamed in joy. "Finally, Command and Conquer gets a representative in this tournament, and it's ****ing YURI! Kickass!". Yeah, you could say that I was disappointed when it was Yuri from Shadow Hearts.
I'll admit it, I have never played any other the Shadow Hearts games, ever. I'll also admit that I've never played any of the Metroid games ever, so this analysis should be kind of even. Too bad the final result won't be.
Metroid has had a representative in every contest so far. Some have done well, while others have done bad. Then, there's Samus. Out of all the representatives, she has done the best so far. She started in 2002, with some strong wins over Ken Masters and Ryu. She then followed up with one of the best matches of all time, with a win over everyone's favorite Hedgehog, Sonic, by 34 votes. She then got over 47% on Sephiroth. She then went on to defeat Isaac and KOS MOS in the SC2K3 contest, rather easily. She continued by beating Squall by 18000 votes. After a loss to Link, she went on to pummel the SC2K4 crowd with huge wins over Lara Croft, Sam Fisher, Sora and Sonic the Hedgehog. She is a very strong candidate for winning the entire contest.
You think someone from Shadow Hearts can compete with that? Sorry KB, but I'm afraid that this is going to be a landslide victory.
My prediction: Samus wins with 86.02% of the vote. Ouch, can this be the biggest blowout of the contest? Well, we'll see.
Wyvlane’s Analysis
I predict Samus will win by 97% because Samus is a ****ing powerhouse and I've never even heard of the person she's up against nor have I heard of his/her game.

Inviso’s Analysis
Here is the future champion of this contest, Samus Aran. And as is tradition for champions, Samus will get to blowout some character or game that never deserved to be in this contest in the first place. It’s a shame that she doesn’t get to face CATS. Anyway, Yuri’s from Shadow Hearts, a cult RPG which falls under the rule I just stated for Lloyd and Tales of Symphonia. This has potential to be the blowout of the contest, as the only other choices are Snake vs. Calavera, or Sora vs. 47. This 8 seed spot could’ve been so much better filled by a character from any genre other than RPGs or sports. To think, James Sunderland got passed up for Yuri Hyuga. I don’t care if Kyle Bowen and The Real Truth like him, if we’re lucky, they’ll be the only ones voting for him.
My Bracket: Samus Aran
My Vote: Samus Aran
My Prediction: Samus with 87.91%
Tnote’s Analysis
If it were not for the two or three gung-ho Shadow Hearts posters here at Board 8, I would have no clue who Yuri was. As it is, I only have a casual understanding of him as the protagonist of the Shadow Hearts series. I eventually would not mind running through the games, but I consider myself to be a rather avid gamer, and the sheer fact that I have little knowledge of him leads me to assume a sizable portion of the voting public will also be left in the dark to his origins.
This is not to say characters I do not know cannot be strong (I hadn’t touched SotN or Halo until about six months ago), but to make a run from a crap seed you better have some recognizability. Samus begins her march towards becoming the first non-swordsman to win a contest, in addition to being the first ‘she.’ And I think she will be doing it with a complete thrashing.
Pick: Samus with 88.27%
Vlado’s Analysis
I've heard good things about Yuri... However, his game is far from popular. In fact, if it wasn't for Kyle Bowen, I doubt I would've heard of it by now. Quite frankly it'd be a stretch to even put Yuri on Laharl's level, as Disgaea at least has somewhat of a following, which was confirmed once again by the young demon's return to the bracket and with the respectable 6th seed. I imagine Yuri will be around Luca Blight's level, and only if he gets a picture as cool as the one he has in the "Meet the Characters" page.
Samus is one of the favourites in this contest. Should she beat Mario, most would consider her a lock to take the championship and earn the position of Sephiroth fodder in the Tournament of Champions. (Heck, some even claim that she could beat him, a claim I can't help laughing at.) Anyway, this match won't be any kind of a test for her. She'll win it easily and I can only hope she doesn't embarrass Yuri Hyuga much. However, since Nintendo characters seem to be on the rise, that might as well happen... Poor Yuri.
Predicted percentage: Samus with 84.68%.

I'll ask one more time since Lloyd's gained about a percent since I
asked earlier today and I only got one answer: head-to-head, who wins
between Wesker and Mithos?

That will be a tough match. I'll probably choose Wesker since I liked him more.

Wesker, probably.
Some people at least like Lloyd, whereas I haven't seen anyone who likes Mithos (though they probably exist in very small numbers >_>).

I'd take Wesker. I still find it hard to see Mithos being this close to
Lloyd, so I'm still wondering if something's not weird with this one.
