I am and have always been a firm believer in the fact that the contest pictures can make a huge difference, usually for more than anyone gives them credit. Usually, if voters aren't very familiar with either character (I bet that at least 10-20% usually aren't), they will more than likely vote for the "cooler looking" one. The Ocelot/Pac-Man is a great example of this, as was Snake/Sora. No SFF was in play. It was simply the fact that Snake had a much more favorable match pic.

Correction:

Usually, if voters aren't very familiar with either character or are not particularly partial to either character (I bet that at least 10-20% usually aren't), they will more than likely vote for the "cooler looking" one.

I highly doubt there are many gamers who don't know who Snake and Sora are. But I bet there are a lot who aren't particularly fans of either. That Snake/Sora picture was classic Metal Gear Solid, so anyone who has ever played a Metal Gear Solid game probably got a chuckle out of the pic. Plus Sora wasn't even prominent in the pic.

http://www.sc2k5.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=6&pos=59

That picture just screamed Metal Gear Solid. I don't see how anybody but diehard fans of Sora or people who really don't like Snake or care for Metal Gear Solid could vote for Sora in that pic. And we already know that Metal Gear Solid is popular on this site.

It's kinda the same thing with Bowser/Snake. The picture just screamed Super Mario Bros. at you, (although there was that Metal Gear inside joke). But you can't deny that Bowser and the SMB persona dominated the picture. I'm sure he got somewhat of an advantage out of that. Not as big as Snake over Sora though.

Yeah, the biased Snake/Bowser picture ticked me off at the time. All Snake got was an inside joke that most people aren't going to understand, despite being the higher seed.

Ha, it's funny that we're discussing the possible ps2 sff with sora vs snake. I don't know if the person is still around (I don't really pay too much attention to names) but remember when that one person was arguing (somewhat childishly, iirc) for that a little after the match? I recall everyone dismissing him completely, sort of funny now.

It was either the picture, Playstation SFF, or something we've yet to pin-point, because nobody believes Sora's legitimate strength is enough to barely escape being doubled by Snake.

That's because his strength in 2004 was legitimately enough to get approximately the same amount on a beastly Samus.

Are we forgetting the match with Agent 47, where Sora only won with 70 percent? Or HK-47, where he only won with 65 percent?

Sora's odd... he is strong, but for some reason doesn't have the ability for a blowout. That's why I wouldn't trust a damn thing involving his stats.

He actually did better than a lot of people expected against HK-47 (mostly because they thought his 2003 number was correct). And Agent 47 still isn't anything special based on 2004 Sora.

yoblazer33 | Posted 4/22/2006 2:03:25 PM | message detail
Also, both 47's are likely one-and-done characters, making it tough to get a feel for where they really belong on the scale o' crap. I'd say Sora's ups far outweigh his downs during the past two years. Doing only 1.28% worse than Zero on a common opponent, bowing out with a somewhat respectable loss to Samus, and overperforming against Alucard all more than make up for his stumble against Snake.

By the way, are there any other characters out there with the number 47 in their names anywhere? If so, bank on him/her making the contest and Sora facing him/her.

47 also has been placed in video games in the same deliberate way for almost 20 years. Examples include Earl Weaver Baseball (the batter's uniform number is 47), Hitman (the name of the main character is 47), and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (HK-47).

consolefreak arguing that Snake/Sora SFF in the most immature way possible was annoying, but there was a lot of validity to the point. It's just far easier to see Nintendo SFF because of all the first party success Nintendo has with their consoles. Snake/Sora, FF7 > Suikoden 2/Xenogears/MGS, Tifa/Vyse, Sephiroth/Liquid, et al may all be in the same boat.

Tifa/Vyse

Huh? Well, I guess you can look at it that Skies of Arcadia is so cult, and FFVII is so popular that most of the SoA fanbase is likely to have played FFVII. But I really think it was due to Vyse just being so unknown to the masses. I'm willing to bet that Bowser or Snake would beat Vyse just as bad...

About Vyse...Vyse faced Donkey Kong before, too, and he's nothing short of a gaming icon, yet it was about a 62-38 match in the year we had the highest vote-totals. It wasn't just being out-exposed that made Vyse get beat so badly by Tifa.....

I like the bracket. Awesome way to end the first round with Ken/Subs and Prince/Lara. There are some matches which would be definitely debated in the middle rounds, such as Squall/Bowser, Aeris/Auron (or Kirby/Auron, as I'm guessing most of the board would side with Kirby), and Sora/Dante/Luigi. Also, we'll be getting some unseen Noble 9 matches (Sonic/Snake and Samus/Crono in the same contest? Sweet...).

The only things I am immediately not fond of are the facts that Ganondorf is not being used and Gordon may actually win a match.

I think Kefka would get just above 50% on Freeman (so as to keep both GFNW and the tradition of him scoring at least 40% on everyone he faces alive).

And as for Sora's division name, I think Keyblade Division would sound better.

Hearts Division would be if Sora was a 1 Seed.

I don't think Tifa/Vyse is SFF. Vyse went up against Cloud, and he looked as good as he could have in that match, with his cult fanbase back up the meager percentage he got. Now, with the monster fanbase that FFVII has, would a huge number of people who haven't heard of Vyse vote for him over another well-known character from the same game?

Sonic over MM, Cloud over Link

Some people seem to be a bit wasted (don't bring Morrigan and Kasumi back after 4 years and give them unwinnable matches), and some matches simply don't have potential to me (to put my input on this right now, Sam Fisher did better on a common opponent than Lara in 2k4, Legend isn't going to change that much, people are trying too hard to see ways for PoP to flop enough to lose to Lara). Peach and DK should be switched, Ganondorf needs to be in that first match with Vincent and have the winner fed to Snake (neither has a shot against Sonic). Too many of the rally tournament winners facing each other, and too many midcarders in unwinnable matches, but overall good.
