The outcome of the contest may depend on if Advent Children really does get delayed to November, as is the rumor. That may put Vincent over Crono, Tifa over Mega Man if both matches were going to be close to begin with. (Assuming Vincent and Tifa can get out of their divisions) Not to mention Cloud will probably defeat Link if Advent Children is out on time. Here's hoping it is delayed >_> Mario for the win!

"Siiiiiinging in the rain, I'm siiiiiiiiinging in the rain!"

Cloud wins?

He would've anyway. AC release >>> TP hype, and I'd even bet on AC release > TP release (in contest boosts)

That's right.

AC could be delayed? Damn, is there anything that doesn't? KH2, FF12, TP... well, RE4 will have the easiest road ever to GotY, and I don't see GoW doing anything about it.

I'd be very surprised if AC got delayed. They announced the final release date so late (thus, close to completion). What could've possibly gone wrong?

To steal and edit a quote from the Friar's Roast Of Jeff Foxworthy, ahem..."Being the Game Of The Year in 2005 is like being the prettiest woman on The View." What happened to all this huge hype about LoZ:TP being released on the same day LoZ:OoT was? *sigh* That's gonna seriously hurt its sales, being released with Halo 3 and PS3.

As for today's match, looks like Conker went up quite a bit like I hoped/called, but is now goin' back down...come on Conker, avoid the tripling.

Meh, at least Conker's doing better than he did against Crono. I expect him to gain quite a bit back with the afternoon vote, as that's the X-box's best time. At this point, avoiding the tripling looks unlikely, but maybe he can do it.

Damn, TP gets delayed again, and AC is looking to do the same? I tried to tell Heroic Mario that AC probably would be delayed again, but he refused to listen.

Damn useless proxy server rubbish... missed this match until now.

Mega Man's doing OK. I'd have guessed that Conker would have gone up slightly this year, and MM could easily increase percentage through the rest of the day. I'm still perfectly happy with my final prediction.

Makes me think, if there's a game contest next spring, TP's release will be too late for the nomination period. That'd really suck.

Okay, now that that's out of the way, tomorrow is Board 8's national holiday, and I, for one, am looking forward to it.

GFNW?

And oddly enough, my stats have Mega Man getting 76.47% on Conker in 2004. *Checks poll results* Mega Man has 76.44%! Of course, it won't last, but still. *Checks poll results again* Drat, down to 76.39%.

Where'd you hear this rumor that AC is getting delayed? I read in an article just yesterday that it's still slated for September 13.

Slow day on the topic today

Obvious match result, roughly with the "right" percentages... not much to discuss.

Now if Freeman were to upset the applecart and try to win tomorrow, we could fill five topics.
---
Jon Thomson - MARIO, Samus, SOLID SNAKE, Bowser, CRONO, Squall, Sonic, MEGA MAN

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

Some numbers:

2k3 Conker vs. 2k3/Adjusted Megaman: 23.50%
2k3 Conker vs. Unadjusted Megaman: 26.11%
2k4 Conker vs. 2k3/Adjusted Megaman: 22.73%
2k4 Conker vs. Unadjusted Megaman: 25.26%

It looks like Megaman recieved some SFF, but not as much as we thought he did. Which I have been saying all along.

The question is: Was it enough SFF to beat Sonic?

---
Magus screwed my bracket over. Yay!

If it was much of any SFF at all, it's enough to beat Sonic, really.

Twilight Princess delayed to March, apparently. (Stupid, now they'll have to compete with the PS3 and Halo 3.)

Cloud wins?

I have no idea how the game being delayed from after the contest to further after the contest would affect Link's match with Cloud.

Assuming Conker stayed the same from 2k4 (I'll say he did, as the horrid pic netralizes the new game), Megaman is 37.06% on the stats.

Looks like the Blue Blur is going down.

---
Magus screwed my bracket over. Yay!

*sighs*

The pic is not so bad that it's going to take away a large percentage of votes from him. He's completely recognizable.

Yes, I know. I'm being generous to Sonic. Either way, he still loses.

Come on, Megaman...don't lose to a mediocre character...

*is bludgeoned to death by Sonic fans*

---
Magus screwed my bracket over. Yay!

Well, he won't lose to a mediocre character, as he'll either lose to Sonic, Crono, Tifa, Vincent, Samus, or Mario.

Twilight Princess wasn't delayed 'til March, Slow. It was delayed until AFTER March. So, it'll be released in April at the earliest.

Never forget. Never forgive.

well, at this point I expect TP to release at the same time as the revolution and have some sort of cover that indicates it can be played on both systems. They've simply gone too far out of hte life span of the Gamecube to release it before the revolution.

Sonic has gotta have the hardest-yet-possible road to the Final Four right now. Using a steady Vyse, KOS-MOS, and Conker, Tifa/Luigi/Mega Man could take him down...and KOS-MOS/Conker have reason to gain strength, too, so that makes Luigi and Mega Man even more viable threats. Yet, through all of this, Sonic still has a shot...

...though my money's on Tifa now.

Also, why doesn't anyone realize that Tifa overperformed against Vyse? Her match pic was her most recognizable pic, and it had a large amount of TJF (and if TJF is going to benefit a character, it would have to be Tifa).

What...it's not like he's going to win or anything.

Gordon will get over 40% on Leon. The law of GFNW states that he can never lose without getting 40%+

im expecting no more than a doubiling tommrow. Leon might get close to a tripple, but i doubt it.

note: even though leon is in my bracket and re 4 is my second favorite game of this generation, i hope gordon wins if only for the chaos that would follow and the massive ammount of entertainment this board would provide that day.

Leon will break 70% on Mr. Freeman.

Summer 2005 Contest - 24/27 points
Current Match Prediction: Luigi vs. KOS-MOS

(and if TJF is going to benefit a character, it would have to be Tifa).

I wouldn't think TJF would really help Tifa aside from it being part of the reason people like her anyway. It's not like she has to worry about not being recognized. TJF helping someone like KOS-MOS, Tina or Morrigan is a lot more likely.

---
I need to put something here.

Leon will get 80% on Gordon Freeman, and the board will start saying that Gordon Freeman has dropped, because we all know that it's impossible for any Noble Nine not named Sonic and Solid Snake to lose to an outsider :D

You guys underestimate Gordon's will to lose well not doing horrible. He WILL get 40%+ tommorow.

I'll say 60-40 Leon. But matches that I've expected to be 60-40 so far haven't been, so I'm probably way off.

Square Enix apparently said that they never officially announced a release date for Advent Children. At this point, there are many things pointing to it being delayed on into October for America. Japan is still on schedule to receive it September 13th, 2005. No delay will be happening there. Although the American release date is becoming quite iffy at this point.


And a great performance by Mega Man today. He's looking absolutely terrific.
