Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

Matches I'd have to think about for more than 5 seconds....

North

8. Diablo
9. Tails

3. Sora
14. Vincent Valentine

Kirby vs. Sora/Vincent

1. Link
2. Cloud


East

8. Sub-Zero
9. Scorpion

5. Knuckles
4. Yoshi

3. Crono
2. Samus

South

5. Kefka
12. Ness

Bowser vs. Squall

West

5. Zero
12. Aeris


6. Tidus
11. Auron

Tifa/Auron/Tidus

1. Sonic
2. Solid Snake

And that's all folks, the final four is unbelievably predictable. Link/Cloud smashes Sephiroth, Mario beats Sonic (small chance of that being snake) and Link/Cloud smashed Mario worse than Sephiroth. The entire contest hinges on 13 matchs. The end.

Well, *shrugs* if good old char knew it has absolutely 0 relevance now why bother? That said, I still think he wastes the potential of almost every single newcommer in the whole thing, which is something I cannot abide. the majority of those comments still stand, other than "WTF, rematch?" showing up what, 3-4 times?
---
Take a hike, and don't forget the trail mix *****. Hijack - MC Chris

The only way to have a Final 4 that isn't "unbelievably predictable" right now is with potential Crono/Samus and Sonic/Snake matches, both of which that bracket includes. I guess you could do Mega Man/Sonic, but we saw that LAST YEAR!
---
Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

And I think you could justify setting one of those up to be a final four match. While I believe Link/Cloud is deserving of a finals match (since they are, you know, the two strongest) I'd rather see them as a final 4 match than an elite 8 match. That's just a friggin slap in the face. Then again, I'd sacrifice the fianl 4 if the rest of it made some god damn sense (this being a fan-bracket I expect real difficulty, which is pretty well lacking from the above sc2k5 excluded).

The percent would be, but not the result.

voltch... he come to town... come to own... the silly gurus...

Pretty much as Janus said. I mean, last year I didn't even give Vivi a chance agaisnt Zelda and I love the guy. After she exceeded MY expectations on the matter can anyone really expect Vivi to overturn that result?

Ulit... about the write up. Why is the font size sporadic?

Also, that picture him him poor quality. The Shadow Hearts CGI was not the best representation of him. A covenant pic would be better.

I love the Rasputin quote.

Freewebs can be ass with fonts, especially when copied from Word. I'll try fixing it the best I can.

You'd have to find a pic for me. I looked on Google and saw very little.

The last two Mario/Cronos.

Then again, it was the only rematch where the first one was close to begin with. You're comparing this with the Megaman/Snakes and Snake/Knuckles of the world.

Alot of those matches I missed were from really bad errors. Sonic vs Samus 2002? I had Ryu > Tidus.

XD

that's okay. i had Tidus > Ryu. i figured that Final Fantasy was completely unstoppable on this site, except against Mario. *shrugs* boy, did i have a lot to learn.

I'm saddened at the lack of faith in Peach. You guys really think there is that much of a gap between Peach and Zelda? Remember Zelda gave Vivi a 60-40 beatdown...

I don't doubt that there was SFF in Snake/Sora, but I'm not going to go all consolefreak trolling style about it.

Only because he was trolling the hell out of the topic, to the point where he was actually trying to drive people out of it. I figured I could just rile him up a little and then go show a mod what he was actually doing. Worked like a charm.

Seriously, I never trolled about it. And I don't recall ever getting mod back then either.

Also, drive people out of it? Why would I want to do that? If I recall correctly, I went sarcastic on KH once. Maybe you missed that.

Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

Good.

The bracket vote point doesn't work that well anyway, what with the ridiculously low prediction percentages even during the FOURTH contest.

Bold prediction: If Master Chief fought Megaman, MC would have more brackets. Heck, he came really close to Crono.

I can see why people like Zelda, but I don't understand why anyone would like Peach.

I would pick DK over Peach, and Vivi won over him..

But what do I know?

She isn't just simply the damsel in distress. She may not be the series namesake, but she plays a more active role than Zelda.

Princess Peach wouldn't be a failure, and it can't hurt that she has her own game coming out soon. She'd have decent strength, she's certainly worth seeing.

that's okay. i had Tidus > Ryu. i figured that Final Fantasy was completely unstoppable on this site, except against Mario. *shrugs* boy, did i have a lot to learn.

You know what was sad for me? I thought Mario > Sonic > Crash, but I thought they were all close together...yes, I thought Crash wasn't much weaker than Sonic. Then, when I saw Sephiroth beat Crash like he did...I was like...O____O.

---
"Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?"
"Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think."

I'm a bit baffled as to how Crash is so weak. He's part of the reason Sony pulled ahead of Nintendo, yet he couldn't get 70% on Ulala?
---
DA-DING Da-Ding da-ding-ding!

there was a lot more to Sony's dominance than Crash. In fact I'd have to say he played the smallest role and gets rememered because he was just around at the rigth time. Think X-Pac. Twisted Metal, FF7, Tomb Raider, and RE all played bigger parts in the early years of the PS1.
---
Take a hike, and don't forget the trail mix *****. Hijack - MC Chris

I think when predicting I thought Crash would be the third or fourth strongest in the division behind Sonic and Sephiroth (and maybe Mega Man). As for rankings I think this is how I had it.

Sonic
Sephiroth
Crash
Mega Man
Tidus
Samus
Ryu
Ken
Ms. Pac-Man
Claire

The rest is a little fuzzy

After giving it some thought, I really want Solid Snake to face off against either Cloud or Sephiroth this year. His past performances against Squall and Sora indicate that, aside from the FFVII crew, he is possibly viewed as Mr. Playstation. As the only lower-tier Noble 9er to have never met Clinkeroth, it's his time to get initiated anyway, but I wouldn't be surprised if Snake overperformed against the FFVII juggernauts, especially Sephiroth.

currently playing: castlevania dos, xmen legends 2(psp), perfect dark zero, sonic rush, mario kart ds

He's had one match against a FFVII character. Even though it occurred four long years ago, Snake managed an impressive 56.5% against Aeris. I agree that if anything, he's more likely to get SFF'D and underperform, but I also feel there's a possibility he could surprise some people.
---
Board 8: Where people treat each other right.

I actually feel Aeris could have overperformed in that match. It's hard to tell, since she had KH the next year and hasn't been seen since.
---
*is Karma Hunter*

I think Snake would either overperform significantly, or underperform significantly.

That sentiment I can agree with. I can't see him doing what we would 'expect' him to using pure stats, at any rate.

You'd be surprised. Two of my roommates have never even touched FFVII, but they're all over Advent Children. Movies are generally more accessible to many people than RPGs, though I don't exactly know if that would have any impact worth mentioning on GameFAQs.
---
*is Karma Hunter*

Bold prediction: If Master Chief fought Megaman, MC would have more brackets. Heck, he came really close to Crono.

I don't know about Mega Man...I'll boldly agree with ya, though barely. I guarantee MC would have more bracket-support than Sonic though, for what it's worth.


Think X-Pac.

It's as if my memory went from black-n-white to colorful and 3D. Heh, that's almost exactly what Crash was like.


I actually feel Aeris could have overperformed in that match.

You know what'd be awesome about this? That makes Tina Armstrong that much weaker...and Gordon still lost.




Since Slow made a bold prediction earlier, I'm gonna restate one I made early in the off-season and am sticking with solely for the wild off-chance it might happen:

Eh...nah. Magus had enough support to get a 3 seed, I don't think he'll drop out without a cap. Aeris at least had only two 11 seeds to give credence to her snubs.

i might as well make a predicition as well. With Ninja gaiden black, DOA4, and old school ninja gaiden fans combined ryu will be much stronger this year.

Love to think so, but highly doubt it. He's still mainly confined to the XBox, so I think at best he'll be a Master Chief lite with the advantage of being a ninja.
