Rikku...doubling Ryu?

"Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think."

By all '03 stats, Bowser beats Ken with 64.95%.

By Sp2K5 Bowser and '03 Ken, Bowser wins with 68.80%.

For a reliable reference, Bowser Sp2K5 is expected to beat M. Bison with 66.08%.

Oh, then Bowser will DEFINITELY double her (well, not definitely, but you know). Maybe he'll break 70 depending on her strength.

Should Chun-Li be stronger than Bison?

Today's Prediction: Tidus - Tomorrow: Bowser

Assuming people played the Alpha games then yes.

I'm calling a doubling by Bowser.

Goin' solely by the numbers on the all-time x-stats (I don't know what value Bowser's based on), M. Bison would be expected to get 36.23%. If memory serves me right, the old SF2 poll on PotD (which I know is both old and has too many options to be completely accurate, don't bring that up) had M. Bison being tied for the next-to-least favorite character. Also by memory, in the same poll, Chun-Li got second...if not second, third for sure. If we weren't already down for a sig-bet, heh, I'd challenge that Chun-Li would do better than 36% on Bowser.

Hmm..ah, that street fighter poll, ..perhaps Chun-Li did place second.
---
Summer Contest 2005 - Points: 12/13
Today's Prediction: Tidus - Tomorrow: Bowser

Chun-Li will break 40% on Bowser. She might push for 43%. Sp2k5's credibility statwise is deteriorating given Ganondorf's horrific underperformance and Wesker doing so well on Lloyd (if Lloyd avoids a doubling next round, it will prove it).
---
Summer 2005 Contest - 12/14 points
Current Match Prediction: Bowser vs. Chun-Li

Lloyd would have to avoid a tripling to prove the stats right.

More people like Chun-Li than Bison?

I know Ken and Chun-Li got second and third; I just don't know which ones got which.

Talking about polls, I'm gonna pitch an idea to Ulti: much like it was suggested the other day to have a link based on acronyms we commonly use, it could prove to be beneficial if we could possibly have something similar with the polls. Perhaps if we were to categorize FF polls, fighting game polls, who's-your-champion polls, Sonic polls...most/any we can use in the stats.

Bowser will only be doubling in the opening minutes, if then.

To be defeated by us is an honor.

Lloyd would have to avoid a tripling to prove the stats right.

Imagine if Lloyd were to get Ryu H.'s percentage on Zero. The stats would collapse. It would put Wesker too close to Jill, which means Wesker would be projected to beat Kefka comfortably despite being blown out by him in Sp2k5.

Bowser may not hit a doubling -- although I'm hoping he does and then some -- but I think he won't have any trouble hanging over 60%.

Notice I said completely accurate. You just have to know what you can pick and choose and what you can't. While it's uncertain if Sagat really is stronger than M. Bison in a contest setting, it would make alot of sense to see Chun-Li be stronger (though not promised), and it only foreshadowed how popular Ryu is. Even if M. Bison is stronger than Chun-Li, it'd have to be noticably so for Chun-Li to be doubled tomorrow.

Does Ryu have a color traditionally associated with him?
---
Summer Contest 2005: 12/13

SF Ryu? He's always in a white gi (unless you chose an alternative color or Evil Ryu)

I personally think Lloyd will get 35% on Zero.
---

Current Match Prediction: Bowser vs. Chun-Li

I'll also correct myself; M. Bison, while still tied with Dhalsim, is NOT tied for next-to-last. They both beat three other characters (Balrog, E. Honda, and Zangief).

Balrog deserves more respect.

He did win a contest...

I also think that Lloyd will be putting up around 35% against Zero next round.

I'll give Lloyd just barely over 30%. 35% is just setting yourself up for disappointment.

You should edit MvC Ryu doing an air hadouken in Ken style.

Only two of my insane predictions have worked out (Kratos pushing for 45% against Alucard and The King avoiding a tripling). I'm terrible at guessing new characters' strength. I thought Lloyd would get over 70% on Wesker and CJ would get 57% on Ness.

45% for Chun-Li. You can take that to the bank!

Don't cash it though. It might not be good. I think she shouldn't have any trouble breaking 40 though.

Currently sitting pretty at #25 on the leaderboard

41.5% for Chun-Li.


With less than an hour left and KoaC still increasing his percentage, I'm growing more and disappointed in my expectations for Tidus. If Tidus is at his 20XXF-adjusted level, KoaC is tied with Lara, which is something very believable to me. At the same time though, I still have a hard time believing Tidus will be noticably weaker than what 2k3 displayed him as. Even moreso, all signs are pointing to 20XX not needing adjustment, which would mean Tidus 2k4 would make KoaC be between Terry Bogard and Earthworm Jim...and I don't buy KoaC being that weak.

I'm gonna sit back and stay skeptical on this one right now, but I'm now more scared of Tidus winning the Dream Division. I hate to, considering the King's a new character and all, but the confusion of looking at the stats here makes me iffy on the matter when he's already a big under-dog in this division.

Perhaps if we were to categorize FF polls, fighting game polls, who's-your-champion polls, Sonic polls...most/any we can use in the stats.

So these polls for certain:
-Game of the Year
-Favorite game in a series
-Favorite character in a series
-Who do you have winning the Contest

Possible ones to add:
-Contest matches
-Got (console)?
-Favorite Genre
-Have you played (game)?
-Have you entered the contest yet?
-Misc. Contest (like the upset one for the spring contest)

Anything else I'm missing that you might like to see?

Then a petition, perhaps? I know that was tried last time...hours before the match. This would be weeks before the match. I would think it'd have alot better chance of happenin' if there was alot more time beforehand (if it has a chance at all). I would wait until Ryu/Rikku was over, then give it a go.
