That's not my biggest concern - a Link/Samus SFF beatdown is. With only 16 females you could have Cloud's quarter of the bracket next to the ladies, at least. --- i thought people on gamefaqs had good taste in games i guess i was wrong -EstUmbra Oooh... Yeah...

You mean Mega Man/Samus, but it's still depressing! This is also why I have a hard time seeing there be no ToC. Is the final battle of the contest really going to be Link/Samus? --- Do not kill.

..okay, I take it back. Tag-teams wouldn't be that great either, but
they'd certainly be better than anything else I've seen suggested, for
reasons that have already been expressed. This twist is either going to
give us a sucky contest or - if Ceej is really thinking out of the box
and we're not - blow our minds. I'm leaning toward the former, but
still holding out hope for the latter. --- This was Ed Bellis. |

If there's 16 females, how would they male section work? The semi-finals would have 3 people left. --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

That's not my biggest concern - a Link/Samus SFF beatdown is. That is one of the reasons that I don't want Link/Cloud/Sephiroth/Mario included if he is going to make two different "sides" with males and females. Link/Cloud v. Samus sucks.

No. 48 males breaks down to 3 people in the semi-finals. Would they have a 3-way match or something --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

Okay. Let me try to explain it differently. The quarterfinals could go like this: Link vs. Crono, Sephiroth vs. Megaman, Cloud vs. Mario, Samus vs. whoever. Then Link and Sephiroth face off, and after that Cloud and Samus. Link/Cloud in the finals. --- i thought people on gamefaqs had good taste in games i guess i was wrong -EstUmbra Oooh... Yeah...

Oh, I get it. The 3 finalists go into the ToC. And only the winner of the female bracket goes into the ToC. That could work --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

You mean Mega Man/Samus, but it's still depressing! Crono > Samus > Mega Man!! This is also why I have a hard time seeing there be no ToC. Is the final battle of the contest really going to be Link/Samus? Yeah. And including those four in a field of 32? Just imagining that sucks. --- "Building the future and keeping the past alive are one in the same thing." -- Solid Snake |

I don't think I can possibly make it more simple. Supposing a 4x16
layout, we have three male divisions, and a female division. The female
winner (Samus) goes against (loses to) whoever wins the third male
division, then the latter goes on to fight in the finals against
another male. If you don't understand, there's a big problem. --- i thought people on gamefaqs had good taste in games i guess i was wrong -EstUmbra Oooh... Yeah... I need... condom... sixty nine!! -IENJOYHAM |

Well since then, Leon made his way to the PS2 with RE4, I think Kirby
got a boost from Canvas Curse last year. He might have slipped a little
this year. I was just thinking of it. --- Currently playing : Resident Evil 4(GC),NCAA Football 07(Xbox),Kirby Canvas Curse(DS). XBL Gamertag - SuPer MiKe 86. |

48-16 isn't an assumption, just a suggestion. It would make for a much
better bracket, and if done right prevent an SFF beatdown in the finals. --- i thought people on gamefaqs had good taste in games i guess i was wrong -EstUmbra Oooh... Yeah... I need... condom... sixty nine!! -IENJOYHAM |

If anything, 16 females would be biased towards the females, if you
consider previous representation. There have never been so many in a
bracket. --- i thought people on gamefaqs had good taste in games i guess i was wrong -EstUmbra Oooh... Yeah... I need... condom... sixty nine!! -IENJOYHAM |

I would rather him just combine the two and feature the sixty-four most
nominated characters, regardless of their gender. I don't like the idea
of having a pre-set amount of women in the contest, nor do I like the
idea of part of the bracket being reserved for the women. I just think
it'd be a good way to get some worthy new-blood in the contest. --- Miss my Four-Pack Of Fun? Go here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=585007 |

No, he didn't mention the ToC. But the way he worded how they were
guaranteed spots, as well as saying "this year's twist" when referring
to the whole gender thing, it doesn't look like we're having one this
year. Thank goodness. If there's one, I'm outta here. If you're so opposed to it, you should have signed my petition! I'm not as optimistic as you about the wording - personally, I think we're likely to get another TOC. --- Nominate Aeris for SC2k6 |

From The n00b Avenger | Posted 7/29/2006 11:06:27 AM | #077 For all we know, the bracket format won't be anything specific, and this is just a way to boost female nominations. Maybe, but then this poses the issue of people nominating Samus/Tifa/Aeris/Zelda just because they can't think of anything else worthwhile. You'd basically get the same thing on your hands as Halo and Phantasy Star in the game contest. But I seriously doubt it'll be a regular bracket. CJayC did mention there'd be a twist, after all. --- i thought people on gamefaqs had good taste in games i guess i was wrong -EstUmbra Oooh... Yeah... I need... condom... sixty nine!! -IENJOYHAM |

Well CJayC said the twist would be "readily apparent" In other words, obvious. But if everyone's debating it, there's something we're not seeing here. If this twist is indeed supposed to be obvious just from seeing the nom form, then it wouldn't be foolish to assume that said twist is merely the nom form itself --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

I meant blatant overseeding. Samus would have the most nominations out
of everyone by a gigantic margin, and Tifa, Aeris and Zelda would
almost surely come second, third and fourth (in any combination). --- i thought people on gamefaqs had good taste in games i guess i was wrong -EstUmbra Oooh... Yeah... I need... condom... sixty nine!! -IENJOYHAM |

For all we know, the bracket format won't be anything specific, and this is just a way to boost female nominations. I've been thinking about that, but the problem there is that, if the board 8 tally is any indication, the male nominations are actually less concentrated than the female ones. What I'm saying is that with such a system, if Cjay would form the bracket strictly based on nominations, we might actually end up with a bracket with more than 32 females. At the tally, the #32 most nominated male has 7 noms, while the #32 most nominated female has 8. Even if that tally isn't very accurate, using the male-female spread strictly as a nomination system would probably cause at least 25 females in the bracket anyway, and that's just random and weird for a "twist". I think the bracket is going to be split fairly (well "fairly", considering the nomination system), but we'll see I guess. --- Sp2k6: 39/44. FF VS. RE Tomorrow: LoZ VS. MG |
