something's bugging me.
how did so many ffX characters get in this year
why not in 2003 were there was no company caps
and why were they so few of them in 2004 i know there was a company cap but yuna or riku could have had more support than kain.
and then suddenly out of nowhere we only get 2 sonic characters and four ffX chars instead of the reverse

That wasn't Kain Highwind. IIRC he's from legacy of kain or something like that.

It didn't bomb in sales or anything did it?

It sold very well, actually. In America alone, it sold 1.3 million copies, which is about 900,000 less than FFX.

If you still had any hope whatsoever, it should have flown out the window when his picture was set.

Seems like Yuna could beat Knuckles in a rematch.

Ganondorf 59.96% 8013
Yuna 40.04% 5351

Ganon, Magus, Tidus, you're all in trouble. Surely Yuna shouldn't have gained THIS much, right?

Spring Contest, you can burn now. Go Yuna.

Kilroy:There fate will be in each other's hands as they decide whether to share or to shaft

Fun with numbers: Assuming Yuna is static (unlikely, but I'm not expecting some huge gain from her), and this is Ganon 2003's true strength, Knuckles is projected to get 45.01% on Magus (heh, same as Squall/Kirby, and Kirby > Knux). Squall is projected to win with 53.16%.

---
Squall Leonhart's Road to the Summer Contest 2005 Championship
Round 1: (7) Geno

Oh, and assuming that this is the work of FFX-2, Yuna's new value is currently 27.92% on 2003 Link, meaning she now beats Knuckles with 52.11%.

Strangely enough, she now beats Tidus 2004 with 51.30%.

Sound the alarm.
---
Squall Leonhart's Road to the Summer Contest 2005 Championship
Round 1: (7) Geno

Ganon won't be getting near his 65.92% projection, but I'd wait a while before worrying about him staying under 60%. He should get back over there within the next few hours.

But Yuna did look to gain quite a bit or Magus, Ganon, and Tidus are all far weaker than what the stats said.

And to think the basis for my Alucard > Sora pick was his performance against Ganondorf.

Damn you Ganondorf.

Hey. Does Sora have a plan? I didn't think so.
---

Heh, I called post FFX-2 Yuna as stronger than Tidus before the contest began, but nobody believed me then. FFX-2 sold three times as much as DMC2, one would expect a result like this, considering what DMC2 did for Dante.
---
Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent.

HA!!!! this match is cracking me up, especially everyone's posts in the first 15 minutes of the match. some of you guys really need to wait for the board vote to end before you call the match a blowout in someone's favor.

and btw - i believe the universe is beginning to implode. a Nintendo character is losing the day vote to a Square character?!?!? Yuna has gone from 40.02 to 40.32 in the past 20 minutes. that's hilarious.

Yoblazer is officially THE MAN for beating us all in SpC2K5!!

so yuna has gone from pretty weak to a fully fledged midcarder now? on that basis is it possible for rikku to get above 38% at one point during her match against ryu?
---
Kilroy:There fate will be in each other's hands as they decide whether to share or to shaft

Well, the kiddies are still asleep. It's only really morning in the EST right now.

Ganondorf gained a bit during the day against Alucard, though I'd imagine Yuna's a bit better with the day vote than he is. Sephiroth killed him with it, of course.

It's not exactly booming right now. Samus, for example, didn't start gaining in abundance until later on.

You said he hasn't lost the day vote yet. It's not true.

Of course you could mean "yet" as it "not happened today" instead of meaning "yet" as in "ever" like I thought you did.

if ganondorf keeps losing ground like this wouldn't he be in danger of losing against auron?

Kilroy:There fate will be in each other's hands as they decide whether to share or to shaft

What?!!!!!!

I must say, I always did think FFX-2 would give Yuna a boost. Never understood why people said it wouldn't.

She was the MAIN CHARACTER!!!

okay, now Ganon is starting to slowly raise his percentage again. the world is normal again. and i'm not chalking Yuna's likely rise in strength entirely up to FFX-2 - she actually looks kinda hot in that picture. much better than her picture against Knuckles, anyways.

At the 4:40 mark, here are the vote totals in comparison to Ness/CJ.

Ganon/Yuna - 16,564
Ness/CJ - 14,888

We're 1,676 ahead of it at this time.

This match is less than 300 behind Link/Cloud 2004 at the moment, so we could still see some rather high vote totals.

Just imagine how high a close Vivi/Zelda match could go.

Fun with numbers: Squall is projected to win with 53.16%.

We need one of those things that they use in elections which show the projected outcome from day to day, it could be funny.

Jon Thomson - MARIO, Samus, SOLID SNAKE, Bowser, CRONO, Squall, Sonic, MEGA MAN

Whoa. ANOTHER favorite underperforming. Could FFX-2 have this much of an effect? I mean, Ganondorf's still dropping... and I'd have a hard time swallowing Yuna = Alucard.

Oh, and just as I suspected, the spring contest can go to hell.
