I think we can rejoice that Carmen made it, at least. =) --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

LL accounted for at least as many noms for Nidoran F as Board 8 did,
and then there's the female thing, so there's that explanation if it
hasnt been rehashed enough already --- Nominate // Midgar Zolom\\ for Character Battle V |

Aight, see, I wasn't aware of LL's presence in this...it makes more
sense now, but even then, I didn't realize that Nidoran F wouldn't fall
under the same category as Midgar Zolom. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

Yeah, Carmen making it is a good thing, though I don't see her being stronger than Lara Croft. --- Guru status: Z1mZum'd. ZSB [aX] |

My gut tells me to take Sonic to win the male half. Yes, that means over Crono. My gut's never wrong. --- Damned Z1mZum, beating me by one point. I'm gonna be pissed if Toadette makes 2k6 and Mewtwo doesn't. Gomu gomu nooooooooo Pistol! |

Oh, since Snake's listed as the first male seed, hopefully that means
that he gets the overall 1 seed. That would be the best leadoff match
ever. --- Guru status: Z1mZum'd. ZSB [aX] |

And, for the record, Midgar Zolom and Jay Solano weren't even remotely in the running Nooooooooooooooooooooooo. :( Poor Jay Solano...We tried sooooo hard too. :( Also, *points and laughs at the mass voters who lost their gift certificates* Crime doesn't pay. :-) --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=579987 - Wanna report a TOS violation?

Some short comments/predictions Snake's division - I'm actually interested to see how a rematch between MM and Snake would go these days. I doubt he'd get burned like in 2003. Also, free trip to the finals for MM, and if he isn't here, Snake...has a damn good shot. That'd be awesome! Oh, and as usual, Snake will struggle to get there. Sora's division - If Sora gets a division he can actually win, he'd be the luckist SOB in the Contest. Unless KH2 boosted him to the heavens, it's pretty much fate he'll get beaten by the 2/3 seed (maybe even an underseeded 4). Sonic's Division - Surprisingly, I'm expecting this division to be stacked with strong midcarders/near elites. No reason why, just a feeling. Sonic still makes it out without too much trouble. Crono's Divison - Not expecting much here. Just a path for Crono to face Sonic, which would be an interesting match. And I'm also predicting we get a couple of matches that we've been talking heavily about over off-season. I'm not skilled enough to guess which ones though. --- Moltar Status: Currently the property of the true Master, Z1mZum Final July '06 Contest Score: 62 (Boo) |

As the time creeps closer, I'm doubting more and more Vincent makes it in...it'd be a shame, but it's a feelin' I just now got. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

Watch the women start it off just so Samus leads off the bracket, heh..... Heh, actually I remember someone on the board suggesting that Ceej should alternate matches in a boy-girl-boy-girl fashion, would would be pretty cool IMO. --- Waiting for the bracket! |

I'd like to see that done in, like, four-packs or divisions...but
match-by-match seems like it'd be even harder to make good
four-packs/divisions with. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

I'm not as worried about Vincent anymore, not with Dirge of Cerebus
out. He should have attracted enough front pagers the past couple days
to get in methinks. --- Waiting for the bracket! |

1s: Solid Snake, Sora, Sonic, Crono. Samus, Zelda, Tifa, Yuna. 8s: Soma, CATS, Captain Falcon, Tingle. Roll. Carmen Sandiego, Ivy, Nidoran F. How did Sora get a 1 seed and not Mega Man? Also if Mewtwo didn't make it in and Nidoran F did I'm going to be really pissed off. --- "I was trying to escape.

I posted this elsewhere, but I'll do it here as well. here's how I hope the bracket looks from what we know: 1 - Snake 2 - Ganon 1 - Sora 2 - Vincent 1 - Sonic 2 - Squall 1 - Crono 2 - Mega Man 1 - Samus 2 - Rikku 1 - Yuna 2 - Peach 1 - Tifa 2 - The Boss 1 - Zelda 2 - Aeris --- xyzzy |

Switch Squall and Mega Man, and I'll agree with ya. A Sonic/MM rematch very well could have the winner change this year, and I qonder just how well Squall could do against Crono -- even post-KH2 -- in comparison to Vincent last year. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest.

Snake would take down both Sonic and Megaman these days. I'd even bet that he would take down Crono. --- Currently playing : Resident Evil 4(GC),NCAA Football 07(Xbox),Kirby Canvas Curse(DS). XBL Gamertag - SuPer MiKe 86. |

BTW does anyone think Nidoran F can outdo unadjusted Pikachu? Well, unless the Pokemon fanboy legion come out, probably not....you'd think Pikachu would be the posterboy for Pokemon. It was said in this topic somewhere that LL gave Nidoran a dose of nominations, so I can't really say what that says about the casuals feel about her. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=579987 - Wanna report a TOS violation?

I'd also switch Vincent and Ganon along with Sonic and Mega Man. And I'd put Bowser as the 3 seed in whatever division Squall was. --- Moltar Status: Currently the property of the true Master, Z1mZum Final July '06 Contest Score: 62 (Boo) |

Tell me how it doesn't? Snake almost lost to Bowser and you want to take him over Crono/Sonic/Mega Man? when all he's had is... a trailer? --- xyzzy |

Dont tell me some of you actually think Vincent could beat Snake......

Still, Ganon/Snake is a strong possibility, just 1 round later. In fact...how does this look 1 - Snake 2 - Vincent 3 - Zero 4 - Ryu 1 - Sora 2 - Ganon 3 - Dante 4 - Kirby 1 - Sonic 2 - Mega Man 3 - Magus 4 - Luigi 1 - Crono 2 - Squall 3 - Bowser 4 - Knuckles --- Moltar Status: Currently the property of the true Master, Z1mZum Final July '06 Contest Score: 62 (Boo) |

heh heh, Sonic/Luigi. I was talking about that match last year and what could possibly happen. Snake's always getting challenged.. I'd like to see Sonic get something for once, maybe Squall. --- xyzzy |
