Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 192

God, either Vincents a beast, or Kerrigan is fodder. If this onslaught keeps up, Vincent may have a chance against Magus/Squall.

...And yes, Woody Paige pwns.

I believe this is more Kerrigan's weakness than Vincent's strength. We all seem to be in an "I called it" mood, so I'll just add some gas on the fire: I predicted we'd see a Kuja-esque performance from Kerrigan when the bracket was first revealed, and even though what Vincent's doing now is impressive, he has to prove himself against Dante before he gets his wings.

Damn it, just when I went with a Dante > Vincent upset, Vincent has to do this...

This is just like yesterday's match, I thought Dante would struggle to double Terra, but he ended up breaking 70% with relative ease.

Btw, I put some FF VII music on before I checked the poll.

Dang...Vincent made a huge boost in percentage. He might actually make it close to 80% when it's all said and done...

That's even higher than I expected before Board 8 influences...(I was thinking 70-75% at that time)

Looks like my 68% Oracle prediction is gonna end up crappy in gross terms, even if it's good compared to other people's. Vincent's gonna approach 80% here it looks like.

If this onslaught keeps up, Vincent may have a chance against Magus/Squall.


Eh? I'd say that if people were predicting Vincent/Magus in the Oracle challenge right now, it would be fairly evenly split; and I think that Vincent would be the slight favorite.

I think Vincent is a clear favorite against Dante at this point.

Why? Exactly? Before yesterday, I think Terra would've been the slight favorite against Kerrigan. It makes more sense, if you ask me, especially with this Kerrigan picture. Remember all of the people who thought Terra >= Kefka? They all just hid under a rock now I guess and claim that Terra's weak as hell, and for some reason Kerrigan can't be subject to the same weakness?

I don't think this decides anything either way. Unless Vincent drops a ton during the day or increases a ton during the day, it's still very much up in the air.

I hope Vincent can prove by the end of the contest that he would own Aeris, like he should. I think Aeris would get SFF'd into the ground in a match like that.

This raises the question of how strong Red XIII and Barret may be...hmm...

Now the question is, what pick will be my Master Chief? For the Spring it was Master Hand. Stay tuned for more.

Maybe in your mind Dante is expected to beat Vincent, but by definition the favorite is what the consensus opinion is. And that was with Vincent before, and should clearly be with Vincent now.

You know it! Shows some particular people right for thinking little old Vincent wouldn't be a force. And I swear, if Vincent gives Crono something respectable my call for Vincent to be equal to Mario in 2006 will be looking pretty damn good.

No way. Barret is one of the least popular FFVII characters, above Cait Sith for sure and probably Yuffie, too. Red XIII would probably be below Vincent/Tifa/Aeris. I think only Cid could top him.

Judging by the percentage Vincent is likely to finish with, one would have to believe Terra can defeat Kerrigan rather comfortably for Dante to have a shot.

I think Red XIII would have a shot to place around Aeris level.

I can't see him below 25% at worst.

I'd expect Red XIII to be above Barret actually, because he's a lot more badass, and...well...something similar to CJ, let's say.

Knuckles is expected to get 61.72% tomorrow based on the 2k4 adjusted stats, but Knuckles was in 20XX, so I'm thinking he's a bit overestimated... 63.8% for Magus tomorrow.

Red XIII would definitely beat Barret. The man with the gun arm is one of the weakest characters in the FFVII PC line.

Well you implied it was as a result of this match, but I don't think we can really draw much from that. Terra has a pretty decent ceiling, and Kerrigan's got a pretty low floor. Terra > Kerrigan is hardly unreasonable.

Now if Vincent gets up to 77-80%+, I'll really doubt that Dante has a chance. But even then, nothing's for certain.

Myself and others have been telling people for a long time that Final Fantasy VII characters can be real forces at this site.

People kept wanting to say, "Well, not *everyone* can be that strong!"

But really, I think FF7 is similar to Street Fighter 2 in the character department. Most characters below Ryu | Cloud/Sephiroth could be within a relatively tight range of one another.

I will never doubt Ulti again.

Ulti has the master plan. He makes a topic about a match in which the result is fairly obvious to us, but the board is somewhat oblivious to, and then the rest of the board proceeds to worship him.

It's why Ulti > most of us. :P I say that as light-hearted as I can too...
