The fact that Dante/Terra even made that list is insane. That was
probably one of the easiest 1st round matches to deciide ever >_> --- I'm a 6' 238 lb Gladiator!(longbladeofhiko/Masa) Dagan Bomb For The WIN! |

My mom did the same thing to my pet dog, only it writhed in pain for at
least five minutes before it died. I also had a dog that jumped over a
high fence on a leash and effectively hung himself. And another dog
that had puppies in the middle of winter where the majority died in the
snow as they tried to make it in the house. The last one that died did
so in my arms. ...you ****ers think I'm joking. |

For what it's worth, it's referring to overall difference. Heck, Dante
could've had 99.85% prediction percentage, and even if he had 99%
prediction percentage by the BOP, it'd make that list. Dante's actual prediction percentage was 88.33%, by the way. --- Locke Cole--Winner of the NCAA Character Battle 2005 *steals your underwear* |

makes me wonder what a Dante/Kefka prediction percentage would be like. --- xyzzy |

My first pet got put to sleep because of some bad illness...I miss it
still. Funny how its name was Worthless though, and funnier that he was
the first of two dogs I've had named that. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

Kefka beat Wesker, Pac-Man, and Mithos. Dante is screwed against SUCH LETHAL COMPETITION ...yeah, that's my thinking every time Kefka's in a match. Me and the casuals share that weakness. But picking Kefka to win gives me the most indie cred of all! |

Last summer the Board went 78-73 to Sora over Alucard, but, the Gurus
went 72-51 to Sora. So, yeah, we've had Castlevania pegged pretty well. --- "lol x-stats" - The Contest Simulator: http://thengamer.com/xstats Ngamer's Contest Archives: http://thengamer.com/gamefaqs/ |

Wow, this topic sure took a turn...you know what that means! Snake Division: Round 1 - Match 7 – (3)Castlevania vs. (6)Halo Moltar’s Analysis Castlevania The Castlevania series is admired highly on GameFAQs. Symphony of the Night is like, one of Board 8’s favorite games. The series is still going with Dawn of Sorrow on the DS (Get it?! lolz) Halo Casuals love Halo. The Halo franchise sells so well here, it’s unbelivable. It only has Halo and Halo 2, but it has become the biggest series on the Xbox and one of the biggest selling franchises this generation. What is up with these 3 seeds? Pokemon, Castlevania, Elder Scrolls, all stand some chance of being upset this round. The only series that looks to be safe this round is Sonic. I wonder what Alucard would say about something like this. Alucard: It’s all a part of my plan. So, your plan is to bring back the infamous 3-seed curse? Alucard: Yes, isn’t it excellent! My plans never fail! Err…okay. Anyway, the Castlevania series usually does well in GameFAQs contests. Alucard: Yes, I do. That’s all a part of my plan. But this time, it faces the Halo series in Round 1. I don’t know how the Halo series only managed to get a 6 seed? Alucard: Me either, Halo is some good ****. …Yes, anyway. We all remember what happened to Halo in 2004, when Starcraft upset it in a close match. However, many seem to be forgetting how strong Starcraft is, and that Halo is just about on par with it. The Halo hate is overrated. Castlevania may be strong, but Halo is much stronger. When I first saw this match in the bracket, I hesitantly went with Halo. After some time though, I grew more confident in a Halo victory. Alucard: But Moltar! Master Chief barely beat teh Kawng! Characters =/= Games. All signs are pointing to the Halo series being stronger than Master Chief. Even 2004 hinted strongly at that. The match should go something like this. Castlevania leads during the night, but once day breaks, Halo runs away with it. Then evening hits and CV slowly chips away at the lead, but not by enough to win. Those with Castlevania winning this match are most likely just blinded by the Halo hate. Halo has this in the bag. Alucard: My plan will be a success. It will- *From out of nowhere*: EVERYBODY ESCUCHAME! Listen, Haha, TO ME! MY NAAME! IS ARMANDO! ALEJANDRO! ESTRRRRRRAAAADA!!! And I! Haha! Got something! For j00!! THEE SAMOAN BULLDOZER, UUUUMAAAAGA!!! *Umaga comes out of nowhere and crushes Alucard with the Almighty Samoan Spike! He then leaves to his awesome music, leaving Moltar in shock.* Moltar’s Bracket Says: Halo will win. Moltar’s Prediction is: Castlevania: 44% - Halo: 56% plz say it's funny, if only to boost my sad little ego! --- Moltar Status: Excited, the Contest is here at last! Fire Emblem vs. Silent Hill - Bracket: FE - Vote: FE (5/5) |

I fully expect a tripling. If it outdoes Soul Calibur, I'll be very impressed. --- "A huge void in her heart. It is filled not by darkness, but kindness from others." - Presea Combatir, the Empty Soul |

76-24 That means Soul Calibur would have beaten FE 60-40 which sounds about right. --- Where am I? |
| HaRRicH | Posted 7/7/2006 8:37:40 PM | message detail |

I think FE's got a real chance of avoiding the tripling, though don't count on it matching Soul Calibur. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

I voted SH due to having actually touched one of its
games. Also, there's no doubt in my mind my brother would have voted
for SH, and he's kind of on a submarine right now..... --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

Ive played. SH has just been a dissapointment after the great 2. Also 54.6% for FE. Put it in the bank. --- Where am I? |

I'm actually a little suprised that FE is doing so well over SH. Although I did chose FE, I thought it would be closer. (maybe the aweful SH movie had something to do with it) |

I doubt the individual games meant very little in this matchup. Do you
really see anybody voting a Silent Hill game over one Fire Emblem game,
but not the others? Or vice-versa? I think the results will be about
the same with any of the matchups between the games. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |
