Simple Explanation of Extrapolated Standings:
A = Strongest Character
B = Character Weaker than A
C = Character Weaker than B
To figure out a character's Xsts Percentage ---> [(CvB)(BvA)]/50 = CvA
To compare how C would do against B ---> [(CvA)/(BvA)]*50 = CvB
To figure out how B would do against A ---> [(CvA)/(CvB)]*50 = BvA

20XX Division Round 2 - Match 47 – (1)Mega Man vs. (5)Leon Kennedy

Mega Man - No, we won’t buy Mega Man 5434549892.
Round 1 – vs. Conker (Mega Man: 76.02% - Conker: 23.98%)

Good job Mega, make your 2004 value look good!

Leon - Well, SOMEBODY’S got to get a free ride from Freeman.
Round 1 – vs. Gordon (Leon: 58.57% - Gordon: 41.43%)

Gordon Freeman still doesn’t win.

Over the years, this industry has grown immensely in America. It has been a widespread hit in Japan for many years, and finally came out to American shores in the 90’s. Here, it hit off big with the children, and the industry took off to become extremely successful. This industry is none other than…

The Anime Industry

With animes like Pokemon, Digimon and Dragonball quickly gaining large fanbases, other animes made their way to our shores. But let’s not look at them, let’s talk about the dubbing process. American kids can’t understand Japanese, which is why dubbing companies over here have to convert just about everything in the anime to English. There are some good dubbing companies, which is good. But one…one has gained a reputation for being the most brutal, the most harsh, the most evil dubbing company ever to exist on this Earth. That company is…

4 Kids

4 Kids get this bad reputation for them being known to do some nasty things to anime. Cut intros and outros and replace them with crap music and lyrics. Use poor voice actors so your ears bleed every time they open their mouth. Edit scenes, censor things, change names, even cut out scenes and full episodes and story arcs! But one anime…one anime just got brutally raped by the beast that is 4 Kids. And that anime is…

One Piece

It’s been called Dub Piece, Khan Piece, Crap Piece, One Piece….of crap. The intro was replaced with a corny, yet catchy rap song. Guns were edited into crazy other contraptions. Pointless scenes were edited. Episodes were spliced. Arcs were skipped. Plotholes are abundant. The list goes on and on…but one day, they picked up a new product. Not an anime, but this time, a game. This game was…

Resident Evil 4

Now, coming to a TV near you in the near future, 4 Kids presents RE Piece!

http://www.agasonex.com/Re%20Piece%20final.wav – Song performed by 4 Kids staff and Moltar

(Lyrics)

YO!
Yah-yo, yah-yo!
Dreaming!
(Don't give it up, Leon!)
Dreaming!
(Don't give it up, Luis!)
Dreaming!
(Don't give it up, Ashley!)
Dreaming!
(Don't give it, give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up, give it-- NO!)
Here's how the story goes, we find out,
The President’s daughter got taken out.
Leon has to go get her and get her back,
But those zombies are tough, and don’t forget about Jack!
Yah-yo, yah-yo, yah-yo, oh-oh!
His name is Leon
(That's Leon S. Kennedy)
(Gonna save sweet Ashley!)
He beat Gordon Freeman
(How did that happen?)
(Yo-ho-ho, Gordon Freeman never wins!)
Yah-yo, yah-yo!
His name's Luis, he's one of the best,
And a L-A-D-Y, Ashley’s got breasts!
Mike is doing his awesome thing,
And Merchant sells things to Leon the King!
Yah-yo, yah-yo, yah-yo, oh-oh!
Set sail for RE Piece, it's the name of the treasure that you gotta get!
Yah-yo, yah-yo
Set sail for RE Piece!

Moltar’s Bracket Says: Mega Man will win.

Moltar’s Prediction is: Mega Man: 70% - Leon: 30%



Swirldude’s Analysis

This analysis sucks and is now about Mega Man losing to Sonic. You know it'll happen. To get there, he'll have to beat Leon. I don't think Mega will have trouble with someone who can't break 60% on Gordon.

Prediction: Mega Man with 73.86%

SC2K5: Samus is going all the way!

(Special note from Ulti: I'm either getting married or on my honeymoon as you're reading this, so know that all of my second round writeups will suck. I'm doing the same short writeups that I did for the last round, because I don't have time to be extensive.)

(Special note from Moltar: I AM a weird person.)

Gordon Freeman Neve---

Oh wait, wrong match.

Prediction: Mega Man with 73.45%



Soul’s Analysis

How they got here

Mega Man defeated Conker: 76.02% - 23.98%

Leon defeated Gordon Freeman: 58.57% - 41.43%

Well, when I said the exciting matches have passed, I wasn't kidding. Mega Man, a contender for the title of this contest, is facing someone who couldn't break 60% on Gordon Freeman.

We all know Mega Man's past. First to break 90%, got very close to Seph in 2002, then lost horribly to Seph in 2003. Somehow SFFed by Link in 2004. Yeah, yeah, blah, blah.

As of right now, I can tell you my prediction for Mega Man and call it quits. But, I won't do that. You see, even though Mega Man is going to win here, I think that people are going to doubt Leon Kennedy. Sure, he let Gordon get over 40% against him, but who hasn't? Basically, I believe that Gordon got a significant boost from Half-Life 2, and I'm sticking by it until after this match. Sure, I may look extremely stupid with this guess, but I'm kind of used to it by now.

My prediction: Mega Man wins with 62.00% of the vote. Err, yeah...



Inviso’s Analysis

The final noble nine match up of round 2 is between Mega Man, whom I’ve previously stated as being a weaker member of the noble nine, and Meester Scott Kennedee. Mega Man did only slightly less against Conker than Crono did last year, leading some to believe that Mega Man is in fact, quite strong. I believe though, that this match, like most of the Blue Bomber’s first round matches, is just a fluke that makes him appear stronger than he really is. He did blowout Ms. Pacman, Mr. Resetti, and Earthworm Jim in the past, and then ended up being horribly placed in comparison to other noble niners. The only reason he did weaker against Conker than those other three matches is because Conker is still somewhat popular. Leon…beat Gordon…like anyone doubted that. He did decently…not breaking 60%, but still, both characters are relatively weak in fanbase. Mega Man will win this match, and there’s not much chance for Leon. He’ll do better than Sam vs. Samus, but that’s about it.

My Bracket: Mega Man
My Vote: Leon Kennedy
My Prediction: Mega Man with 72.50%



Tnote’s Analysis

Leon has the distinction of becoming the fourth gentleman to defeat Gordon Freeman in the first round by accumulating less than 60% of the vote. This round, he will become the usual fodder to a Mega Man second round pummeling. Leon proved last round that everyone expecting him to put up Jill-type numbers were delusional, and for those hanging onto those hopes, this beating will leave him well below 2k3 Vercetti. Ouch, for the movie and multi-console superstar.

Pick: Mega Man with 70.83%

SC2K5: Samus is going all the way!
Tifa vs. Luigi - Bracket: Tifa - Vote: Luigi (50/58)

Vlado’s Analysis

Another one of the numerous UTTERLY BORING Round 2 matches... Can I really say much here? Leon couldn't even get 60% on Gordon Freeman and, while Gordon has probably increased since last year, he'll still be just fodder. Not to mention both him and Rockman are Capcom characters... Sure, there won't be much SFF, given their genres, but it's a fact worth mentioning. If anything, it'll just further benefit Rockman. Sure, Leon's game has been the biggest thing on Gamecube this year, but I doubt that'll be enough for him to even avoid a doubling.

The Blue Bomber has been so lucky with his draw that we pretty much won't know his real strength until he faces Sonic. That's how pathetic his opponents are. Sure, he'll face Yoshi next round, but it's Yoshi. Even with the Nintendo increase, he can barely be considered a serious opponent. Heck, with Luigi's astonishing performance against Tifa, I think Yoshi will be moving down a spot in the Nintendo characters' hierarchy.

Predicted percentage: Mega Man with 72.43%.

For the sake of simplicity, I'm going to refer to Gordon Freeman versus Tanner as Schrodinger's Match. -Phoenix Flattener

So, according to Soul, Gordon Freeman could now give Tidus a close match, if the stats are accurate . I don't buy that at all.

Summer 2005 Contest - 46/58 points
Current Match Prediction: Tifa Lockheart vs. Luigi

oh, and i am going on record right now as saying that Leon will barely be stronger than Conker. Max Payne got 54% on Gordon and wound up ranking below Conker in 2K3. Sam Fisher scored 55.43% on Gordon in 2K4 and also ranked lower than Conker. Leon's 58% on Gordon should put him higher than Conker, but i doubt it will be very much. i will be very shocked if Leon breaks 30%.

---
"Start wearing purple, for me now. All your sanity and wits, they will all vanish, i promise. It's just a matter of time..."

my prediction - Megaman with 74%.

and Tifa will only have around 28% of the brackets.

Thanks for the info.

Yeah, I was a little off, but I don't expect MM to get in the 70's on Leon. I know it's too late to change my prediction, but I see MM getting around 68-68.5% on Leon.

Analysis

Like I said this final division is the weakest with Yoshi as the second strongest and probably Pac-Man as the third. Mega Man should have no problem winning this division let alone this match.

Mega Man did about expect against Conker and it looks like he needed to be adjusted for the 20XX division. Whether or not he deserves the adjustment wouldn’t really matter until his round 4 match against Sonic (and don’t you say Tifa). Leon saved us from having the universe imploded by defeating Freeman, but like all of the other characters that have tried; he too wasn’t able to break 60% on him. Though unlike some people, I sort of expect him to fail breaking 60%.

This match is going to be ugly. Mega Man has a huge chance on beating Leon worse than he beat Conker. On most sites that probably wouldn’t happen, but since it’s GameFAQs I’m kind of expecting these kind of numbers from Mega Man. Have fun for your free ride to the Elite 8.

I agree with this person.

I'm just wondering what Mega Man's prediction percentage will end up as. My bet is somewhere around 78%... I can't see more than 10% picking Leon Kennedy or Gordon Freeman for the sweet 16.
---
I can't think of anything to put here, but I can't just leave it blank, can I?

FF8 SPOILERS N STUFF

Seifer's too cocky.

Meh. I don't have an issue with the fact that he was cocky, but I do have an issue with how he was cocky with no real skill to show for it. Honestly, he never did anything except play lackey to Edea... He wasn't hard to fight, and we never actually saw him killing anyone else in battle like we did with Sephiroth, Kuja, and Seymour.
---
I can't think of anything to put here, but I can't just leave it blank, can I?

Man, I can't believe Tifa is so weak. Seriously.

Anyway, if overperformance by kiddie/Nintendo/FF7/Sonic characters continues, Mega Man should destroy Leon tomorrow.
