Yuna Rikku Yuffie Jill Valentine Claire Redfield Other than Yuna none of those even have a chance of beating peach. |

Say what you want... on this Halo hating board, Master Chief has 9
nominations according to the nomination tally... guess how many Cortana
has... 7. Yeah, pretty close. The people do like Cortana... and yeah, I'd probably take her over Arbiter, now that I think about it. I'm not saying she'll be strong, or even necessarily break the fodder line, but I still think she could muster up enough to take Peach. --- Z1mZum whooped me so bad in the Guru Contest that the next Lopen wannabe is gonna feel it. |

Other than Yuna none of those even have a chance of beating peach. You DO know that Rikku is nearly equal with Yuna, and both are above Chun-Li, right? Jill Valentine has proven herself to be decently strong as well, and I believe Claire could be a little below. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

Peach is easily the 3rd most popular female Nintendo character. True, but who's her competition for that? Misty? Krystal? Palette swap? Toadette? --- Those who are ordinary gurus decide nothing. Z1mZum decides everything. Including my nominating Toadette. |

And why in the world did we get back onto Peach again? MOVE ON! Okay...Somebody mentioned Kairi, what are we expecting from her? --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

Has anyone stopped to think that this Peach discussion has lasted for
almost 200 posts and she has near no shot of making it outta round 2.

I wouldn't expect much from Kairi, either. Then again, I wouldn't expect much from the vast majority of the female bracket. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Owned by Z1mZum in the Best. Series. Ever. Guru Contest |

Bah, I'll take my Peach pick and we'll see what happens when the contest starts. Hopefully the matches will be set up to prove me either right or wrong. (No fourth degree xstat crap) |

I mean, really, how many non-fodder females are there? Samus Tifa Zelda Aeris Yuna Rikku Chun-Li Jill Valentine Claire Redfield ...that's all I can think of now. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Owned by Z1mZum in the Best. Series. Ever. Guru Contest |

Believe me, I don't expect anything out of Kairi either... and I'd probably take Cortana over her too. But that doesn't mean she doesn't get on the list. ... what? --- Z1mZum whooped me so bad in the Guru Contest that the next Lopen wannabe is gonna feel it. |

Kairi? Less than Peach. Wait, uh... moving on, you say... still not much. She's not too much more than the damsel in distress in KH. She'll probably be stronger than DARKNESS, though I wouldn't bank on it. KHII should help her, though. --- Those who are ordinary gurus decide nothing. Z1mZum decides everything.

Jill Valentine Claire Redfield I wouldn't call these two non-fodder. They were never strong to begin with and they can really only go down lately. |

I think people are overrating how "fodder-filled" the females bracket will be.

And I don't see why Claire wouldn't be much weaker, if at all, than Jill.

I'm not denying that there will be a lot of fodder. I don't agree that the vast majority will be bad fodder, like people think. Also... KOS-MOS Yuffie Lulu Cammy (possibly) Terra and Celes are close, to boot. Possibly Quistis and/or Rinoa. And even with this, we've already easily beaten out the Villains Contest for non-fodder. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

I've always felt the upper half of females would be far better than the Villains upper half. True. There were only 3 non-fodder characters in the Villains top-half, IMO. Females has some potential, it's just when you go down the list then the talent runs dry very quickly. --- 4th Place of the Fall 2005 10-Year Anniversary Contest |

I mean, really, how many non-fodder females are there? I just posed the question a few posts ago, asking who could fall in the 23%-18% on Base Link range (pretty much KOS-MOS to Terra), which wouldn't be pure fodder. --- Noms: Ken, Nightmare, Sub Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden(MGS), Knuckles, Sora Chun-Li, Morrigan, Sheena, Cammy, Presea, Talim, Ayane |

wouldn't call these two non-fodder. They were never strong to begin with and they can really only go down lately. Jill Valentine has beaten Kirby and has outperformed Luigi on Squall. She went 50/50 with Hayabusa, who certainly is NOT fodder. And despite what you may think of Tidus, Claire Redfield actually put up a respectable performance. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

You consider Hayabusa fodder? Because Jill went toe-to-toe with him in 2004. And I don't see why Claire wouldn't be much weaker, if at all, than Jill. RE2 is regarded as the next most popular RE installment next to 4. Depends on what you consider fodder. Some people think only the super weak are fodder. I see everyone under Donkey kong as fodder. I personally don't think Ryu, Jill and Claire could beat Donkey Kong. Jill might be able to in 2002 but I don't think anymore. |

Why does everyone forget Aya Brea? Sure she might have gotten weaker
now, but she almost won over freaking DK who then got SFF'D as hell
against Mario. I think she has at least something to do in this
contest. And blonde girls are known for doing well in this poll (Tina
> Gordon Freeman, Samus (Even if she shouldn't count), Rikku doing
great against Ryu, Mithos (HEH!) looking stronger than Lloyd e.t.c) And Lyndis should be pretty popular as well. Her number of nominations on this board is crazy. --- Nominate Tails Here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/contest/contest_nominate.php Z1mZum > me |

Something always striked me as odd about DK now being worth 30% in the stats and having close matches with Auron and Ryu. --- z1mzum was the one to fill my dark soul with LIIIIGHHHT! |

So Ryu (SF), Tidus, Leon Kennedy, and Yoshi are all fodder? It obvious all those can beat Donkey Kong. Again as I've said many time before and argued many times don't prove things with 8 degrees of outdated xstats. Theres a reason why the analysis crew was so horendous. |
| Tatsumaki Senpuu | Posted 8/4/2006 4:41:14 PM | message detail |

If he is referring to DK 2k4, then the "fodder" cut off is
at 23.55% on Base Link. Hayabusa 2k5 is at 23.75%, so he'd be above the
fodder line in that case. --- The winner begins with Z1m and ends with Zum... This is the truth! This is my belief! ...At least for now. |

You know what would be interesting? Ryu Hayubasa vs Alucard. I dunno
why but I think those two could put on a pretty close match. The
X-Stats probably favor Alucard with about 55-57% though knowing my
luck. --- WWEGSB Hardcore Legend Masa I jobbed to Z1mZum in the Guru Contest. Did you? |
| Nominate_Tails | Posted 8/4/2006 4:43:13 PM | message detail |

I'm not going to give any %, but there's no way Alucard can lose
against Ryu Hayabusa, but the vote swings COULD (Based on what
Castlevania did to HALO) be interesting ^_^ --- Nominate Tails Here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/contest/contest_nominate.php Z1mZum > me |

Alucard =/= the Castlevania series. Alucard sucks with the day vote. Always has, always will. For the record, I'd take Alucard in that match. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Owned by Z1mZum in the Best. Series. Ever. Guru Contest |

Theres a reason why the analysis crew was so horendous. Oh, yeah... nice cheap shotting... thought we were "horrendous" (I doubt you'd do any better at all... but let's not make this a flame war) or not, you can't really blame X-Stats on it... there were none to speak of! And yeah, I think DK is overrated... but I still think he could beat half the field in a normal contest. Are you calling half the field fodder?

For the record, I'd take Alucard in that match. Ahh, but with how much? But I guess Alucard would have the favor if that match happened to take place this year, seeing as Castlevania's got a decent boost from Dawn of Sorrow we can try and assume. --- WWEGSB Hardcore Legend Masa I jobbed to Z1mZum in the Guru Contest.
