Summer Contest 2005: 12/13
Today: Tidus, Tomorrow: Bowser

Looks like Tidus finally got away from that board vote. He must be glad now, because it was so cruel to him.

Now he's at 73%+. The 80% some were hoping for is out of the question, and at the rate he's going, he might just get the tripling and land at 75-76%. Not bad, but nothing spectacular either.

*waves his Kirby upset flag*

Tidus vs. King of all Cosmos - Bracket: Tidus - Vote: King (12/13)

who thinks Link vs Cloud will be the final Bracket buster.

both have something going for them and after AC it's going to lead to one hell of a match. i say it's about 50/50 that match at the moment.

There's no question that Link/Cloud will be a bracket buster, though the reigning champion almost-certainly has the edge prediction-wise.

I've noticed that, too; if KoaC gets the day-vote, this'll be embarrassing for Tidus.

When talking about round 2, don't forget Dante/Vincent as well. This one's going to be nasty.

I hope you just mean in terms of breaking brackets....

Surely. There's no better case to be done for a character than for the other. Besides, we have to be pretty lucky to have a real nailbiter.

what do people think will be the match of the entire tournament. i think that link vs cloud has the potential for incredible vote totals. but sonic/mega man can be the match of the tourney.

If it's the sprite round, you can forget about it. Dante's sure to get a VJ pic.

Perhaps Samus/Mario could be considered...

Samus/Mario? I doubt it. The main bracket final, on the other hand... Samus and Crono are both traditional huge vote drawers, and Mario/Crono... no comment.

Can you imagine Link/Cloud being close? It's such an important match in every way, and the vote totals are sure to be monstrous, but what really has me excited is that fact that on paper it looks dead even. It's going to be heartbreaking for anyone in the top 10 after the main contest if they get it wrong.

anyone think with all these hyped matches coming in the later rounds this board could potentially have 500 pages worth of topics?

I'm bankin' on one of the five big matches in a row being the match of the contest or Sonic/Mega Man. Picking a single match, though...gimme Ganon/Auron.

Off to work now. Would anybody take KoaC over, say, Lara Croft?

Even after the Sonic/Samus-Megaman/Sephiroth-Mario/Cloud sequence in 2002 there were 130 pages. Not a chance in hell.

well we have 137 pages now and on close matches we usually have 220 pages. so imagine after a monster sequence of hyped matches

17 handhelds Nintendo has taken down 1 more to go (see quote for rest)

Wow. Very disappointing performance by Tidus here, as he's even been dropping in percentage since I woke up. Forget the trippling and completely throw out my 80%; if Tidus can't at least scrounge up 74%, Kirby has to go into Round 2 as the slight favorite, or, at the very least, the match should be looked at as a complete toss-up.

That's around the area I think the King would end up, but I'd be pretty torn between the two.

Not very hilarious for those who have Tidus winning the division. I still think he will defeat Kirby easily, as I could not see Kirby beating Shadow, but I guess we shall see.

For Tidus to be at his 2k3 level, KoAC has to be at the level of Conker? That doesn't seem too farfetched to me.

It does to me. KoAC game sold like crap. It was a cult classic. How you guys hope for him to rank with REAL characters is beyond me. He is fodder and probably fodder of the worst kind.

Yeah... Tidus over Kirby looked like a lock before the contest, but now it's a whole other ball game.

[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]

I don't think he was ever a "lock" to beat Kirby. Hell, Tidus ranks below Kirby in last year's adjusted standings. I think most people just assumed that if Squall can beat Kirby with a comfortable 55%, then Tidus shouldn't be weak enough to lose. Seems like logical thinking, but these past two days are certainly making a few of us nervous.
---

Looks like we'll hit 100K. Tidus is certainly a big draw. How is this match comparing to the other two 100K matches?

You're nervous? I have Tidus winning the division.

Today's subliminal thought is:

Shockingly, it looks like The King of All Cosmos may actually get more votes than Big Boss. If that turns out to be the case, maybe it puts Tidus' performance today in a new light.
---
Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

The King of All Cosmos isn't winning the day vote. He's barely decreasing Tidus's percentage.
---
There's always someone better.

I'm honestly thinking KoAC may have some legitimite strength.

Of course, I may just be telling myself that because I have Tidus taking the division, but still. Katamari Damacy isn't any more cult than Viewtiful Joe.
---

It's kinda weird that KoaC has vote totals so close to Big Boss. The only reason Tidus is doing better is because Tidus has 4000 more votes than Auron did.

In order for that match to take place, we'd need two upsets to occur, so you probably are looking too far ahead. =P
...? Zero over Lloyd and Mario over Ness are upsets?

"If the humans turn hope into power, then I can turn desire into a blade..."- Boomerang Flash

"The King of All Cosmos isn't winning the day vote. He's barely decreasing Tidus's percentage."

Winning the day vote doesn't alwasy mean making a comeback, sometime it just means not losing nearly as badly. The King has that second part down.

still i don't think we should overanalyse this match. tidus afterall loves to screw the stats. sometimes he's on par with ganondorf the and sometimes he gets his ass kicked to the next dimension by mega man.

who thinks that if chun-li performs a tad better than expected people are gonna go RYU>BOWSER BOOK IT cause this board does do this kind of thing often
---
Kilroy:There fate will be in each other's hands as they decide whether to share or to shaft

Of course they will. I'll probably be one of em, especially if Ryu does better on Rikku than Bowser on Chun Li.
---
Raiden fact of the contest: Alucard is a plagiarist, this year Raiden will prove it!

If Chun-Li gets somewhere in the neighborhood of 41-43% on Bowser tomorrow, everyone's going to get worried, yes. 45% or more, and everyone's going to start calling Ryu a lock. Everyone's pretty quick to call weakness on the returning character than strength in the new one.
