what Samus is doing here is very impressive,

You're a fool to believe such a thing.

Not to mention, it's classic MGS2 Solid Snake. He looks awesome, Sora looks confused. As soon as he turns back around, snap goes the neck.

Damn. At least Sora's involved in one of the most famous match pics ever.

Maybe it's Ceej's way of repaying Snake for all the times he screwed him up with bad match pictures.

Samus is doing about how I called for her to do this morning -- not to change that much during the day.

What an ass. I hate that man.

Nomura > You.

Sora can beat Snake on name recognition alone! So ha!

Can't think of a good sig.

Sir Crono... Sora or Snake?

Samus really isn't doing badly. Outperforming sephiroth on gannon is impressive even if it doesn't live up to some people's ridiculous expectations. Just because link sff'd the living hell out of gannon doesn't mean that characters outside the loz series can do the same.

Very nice, I consider this the best picture of the contest: it cannot get any better.

Today's subliminal thought is:

Sora... win name recognition? Funny. =p

It doesn't need to live up to people's ridiculous predictions in order to not be impressive. Anyone calling it "very impressive" is simply out of their mind. This match is going about how it should.

And for the record, should Samus win the main bracket, Sephiroth will be beating her.

This round HAD to be the home field advantage round as these are essentially the division finals. Next round will be filled with 1 vs 1 seeds since there are 8 divisions. You couldn't determine who gets homefield advantage out of seeding alone, not to mention it would be completely unfair for lower seeds who WON their divisions....

Samus doing more then sephiroth on gannon is expected? K.

Based on what?

Sephiroth was expected to do more actually. Either Samus is doing as expected or she's getting some SFF worth noting. In either case, there's no reason to call it "very impressive." It's quite foolish.

Based on what?

Sephiroth strikes me as a "new" Sonic, in that there are a number of characters that people are just itching to take over Sephiroth given the opportunity or they just are dying to see one of them overcome Sephiroth. Samus's performance today is not making me quiver about the possible match in the Tournament of Champions. Sephiroth has been second and third in this contest from the beginning. I don't believe he'll be losing his spot anytime soon. I'm not expecting him to do any dropping again either.

And while I'm at it, anyone who says Samus is performing badly is equally as foolish as someone calling this performance very impressive. Honestly, this is just about what Samus should be expected to get her.

I'm one to believe that Samus should be getting far lesser here than she actually is, but I'm chalking that up to SFF more than anything else. I just can't begin to understand where people are coming from calling this performance impressive or calling this performance bad. At best, it would simply show that Samus isn't capable of SFFing other strong Nintendo characters -- if one believes Ganon is at his 2003 value.

---
“What is it that is most precious to you, Cloud? I’ll enjoy stripping that from you!” – Sephiroth

Of course HM thinks Sephiroth won't be losing his #3 spot anytime soon. The day Heroic Mario picks an FF7 character to lose a match is the day Satan needs a snowblower.

But why wouldn't Zelda boost when it seems every other rep from the entire company boosted?

If you really look at it, which characters from Nintendo have been really impressing more than any others? Characters from the Mario series.

---
“What is it that is most precious to you, Cloud? I’ll enjoy stripping that from you!” – Sephiroth

Sephiroth was expected to do more actually.

But he didn't. Call me crazy, but I consider results to be more reliable then speculation.

Either Samus is doing as expected or she's getting some SFF worth noting. In either case, there's no reason to call it "very impressive." It's quite foolish.

She's outdoing what sephiroth did. That is impressive. Tell me how the hell it isn't.

I don't believe he'll be losing his spot anytime soon. I'm not expecting him to do any dropping again either.

So that's a long way of saying "based on my expectations of him" then?

Argh! Samus is barely keeping 60%... she might go under in a few updates. C'mon Ms. Aran, stay above 60... regardless, she looks stronger than Sephiroth, which is great news.

Poor Sora in that match pic... I might have to up my Snake oracle pick, due to Sora's unfortuneate pic draw. Still votin' for Sora, though.

No balls to be bustin', no fightin', no cussin'... just a love for a drug called contest statin'.

But he didn't. Call me crazy, but I consider results to be more reliable then speculation.

It's quite simple to explain with stats as well, since one could actually believe that Ganon has boosted higher than his 2003 value, which makes Sephiroth's performance not nearly as bad as one might initially believe.

She's outdoing what sephiroth did. That is impressive. Tell me how the hell it isn't.

You know, there's a little thing called SFF here.

So that's a long way of saying "based on my expectations of him" then?

It's a mixture of that and statistical 'evidence,' although it isn't much of full blown evidence as people are undoubtedly going to agree until we see the match take place.

---
“What is it that is most precious to you, Cloud? I’ll enjoy stripping that from you!” – Sephiroth

There is little, if any, SFF in this match. The Samus fanbase doesn't overlap with the Ganondorf fanbase very well.

Oh, and that should be "disagree" in my previous post.

“What is it that is most precious to you, Cloud? I’ll enjoy stripping that from you!” – Sephiroth

Sephiroth > Samus.


She only looks stronger because of the SFF.

If you really look at it, which characters from Nintendo have been really impressing more than any others? Characters from the Mario series.

Characters on the DS. Kirby anyone? I'd say samus as well, but apparently getting 70% on frog and outdoing sephiroth on gannon isn't impressive somehow. I'm not going to arge the point any longer, I'll just wait for her later matches and see. Mario can beat her, I just hope nobody starts to call him a heavy favourite, or a favourite at all.

There is little, if any, SFF in this match.

There is no way that is certain. I'm not going to say you're just wrong, but I will say that I disagree completely. This match isn't as telling as one might initially believe. People should be quite split when it comes to whether or not they believe SFF is in this match or not.

“What is it that is most precious to you, Cloud? I’ll enjoy stripping that from you!” – Sephiroth

Please. Characters from the same company does not automatically mean SFF.

And then dropped for this match making samus unimpressive?

You know, there's a little thing called SFF here.

Obviously, but we don't know how significant it is, if it's even significant at all.

It's a mixture of that and statistical 'evidence,' although it isn't much of full blown evidence as people are undoubtedly going to agree until we see the match take place.

All I'm saying is that samus stands a chance, and a good one at that. Then again I wouldn't expect you to go against ff7 on a toss up match.

Well, seeing Ganondorf do 3% worse than Sonic on a common opponent twice...Maybe he's the one who overperformed in the Spring.

Just to continue to give some more clarity on the subject, I don't want anyone to think that I believe Sephiroth will just flat out rock Samus, because that isn't the case at all. Should Samus make it, I'm actually expecting something similar to 2002 with a 52 - 53% victory in favor of Sephiroth.

---

Please... they are in the same game, which happens to be the most popular Nintendo game of this current generation.

There is no way that is certain.

There's no way it's uncertain either. Some people seem way to eager to say "LOL SFF MARIO WINS!" just because that's what they want to see happen.

That's fair enough, but samus shouldn't be written off just yet.
