On a more serious note... I've been expecting the bracket to come out
today anywhere from 5 - 9 PM EST, getting it sooner would have been a
nice touch, and any later would suck. --- Explicit Content I have been thoroughly owned by Z1mZum. Cheer me up. Cheer Up Emo Kids - Team Tranny Did! |

But, I'm tempted to say that he's not. she, Jigglypuff should always be a she! At least in my head. Zelda/Tifa worries me, for some reason I'm more inclined to side with Tifa though, and this is someone who had Zelda > Megaman back in 2k3. Hm, I'd probably take Zelda in my bracket, but wouldn't expect the winner to win by much.

Your lack of faith in the nomination rally is disturbing. I think Sub Zero, Raiden, Nightmare, and Prince of Persia are all likely to have more frontpage support than Captain Falcon, and CF had less board nominations than PoP and Raiden as well. I'd be more surprised to see only CF than I would to see all five, actually.

list is missing Riku. He was a #4 seed last year and we know the KH
fans pushed Sora to a top seed. Also, I think there was more of a drive for Axel rather than Riku this year. Let's see, the last tally had axel with 21 to Riku's 11. Hm, neither of those are too impressive though. Still, Sora being a 1 seed could be a positive indicator of overall KH support.

Here's the reason Kirby would beat Dante: 2K4: Squall beat Kirby with 55% 2K5: Squall would beat Dante with around 53.5%. Kirby would've grown at least 1.5%, I think. Unless, of course, you think Squall increased... Sora/MC - Sora...I woulda taken Sora last year over MC, but barely. Alucard/MC - Master Chief...close, but not a nailbiter. MC/Yoshi - Yoshi Yoshi/Kirby - Kirby...too many factors favor Kirby. Ganondorf/Tifa - Ganondorf Squall/Tifa - Squall. Real close, though, and could go either way. Quite a bit over the last year dealing with FF7... Bowser/Snake - Snake...meh. Aeris/Squall - Squall. See Squall/Tifa. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun!

Sora v. Master Chief -- With Kingdom Hearts II under his belt,
I'd feel pretty confident in taking Sora here. It helps that Master
Chief is...weird. Alucard v. Master Chief -- No idea why, but I'm feeling pretty safe with Master Chief. Master Chief v. Yoshi -- Any potential SFF that he may have fallen behind should boost him a bit, plus the favoring toward Nintendo characters as a whole should help out the little dinosaur. Yoshi v. Kirby -- This seems so wrong, but yeah. Ganondorf v. Tifa -- These two are practically equal in the stats, and I find it likely that Ganon could have suffered some slight SFF against Samus, which would help him fight the KH2/AC boost that Tifa will get. And if TP is out...yeah. Squall v. Tifa -- Vincent was barely about to oust Squall, and he's certainly stronger than Tifa. Add into the equation KH2 and Squall should be fine here. Bowser v. Snake -- I'd probably end up doing something wrong here in the end ... Aeris v. Squall -- Same reasons as described for Squall over Tifa. Samus v. Crono -- Yeah. --- “I haven’t invested as much time into any game as I have [Twilight Princess].” – Shigeru Miyamoto |

Even with the face pic, MC failed to break 70% on CATS like he was
projected to do. Going 50/50 with DK doesn't inspire much faith either,
especially since looking at DK's match with Fisher, DK didn't boost
much at all. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Owned by Z1mZum in the Best. Series. Ever. Guru Contest |

Has Alucard really fallen so far from grace that people are taking DK
over him without so much as a thought? Despite the fact that it's Donkey Kong? DK's track record has proved to me that if he's in a match that's even somewhat debatable, he'll get the finger from my bracket. I'd likely take Alucard on that sole basis. --- Commit it to memory. |

Was Vercetti/DK really all that debated? Apart from that, the only time

He won against Aya, did much better than expected against Vercetti, won against Duck Hunt...choked against Vivi, and did much better than expected against MC. That's exactly one choke. DK got at least as big of a boost as the rest of the Nintendo crew did in 2k5, and in all likelihood, so did Master Chief. --- Pity for the Gurus is treason to Z1mZum. |

The fact that Aya wasn't supposed to get that close to DK in the first
place makes that match a choke. He had a good shot at taking down
Vercetti but choked when the night vote came around. He almost lost to
Duck Hunt after building a 3000+ vote lead. He was destroyed Ulti-style
by Vivi. Finally, blew away a 2000+ vote lead to Master Chief, which
makes that match a choke. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Owned by Z1mZum in the Best. Series. Ever. Guru Contest |

Boosts don't have to be proportional -- DK is Nintendo, he's not
necessarily Mario. People will swear up and down that Samus didn't
boost in 2k5, or even that she dropped, and yet will claim that Donkey Kong had a radically huge boost based on...Master Chief? DK is a choker -- he's this contest's BIGGEST choker, and he has that reputation for a damn good reason. He choked against Aya and Duck Hunt, nearly letting two wins out of his hands against competitors that he had no business losing to in the first place. And while Vercetti/DK and MC/DK are primarily remembered as the chokes of the other character in the matches, people remember that DK ended up basically throwing those matches away just when he could have seized the advantage. Letting MC pull the biggest comeback ever on him (and with ease), letting Duck Hunt *almost* pull the biggest comeback ever on him, unable to capitalize on Vercetti's bombing, bombing to all hell against VIVI...he's a choker. That's what he does. --- Commit it to memory. |

Letting MC pull the biggest comeback ever on him (and with ease),
letting Duck Hunt *almost* pull the biggest comeback ever on him,
unable to capitalize on Vercetti's bombing, bombing to all hell against
VIVI...he's a choker. That's what he does. Most of those have more to do with voting trends than anything else. It's silly to bash a character based on when they're weakest. Also: what's wrong with Duck Hunt? It was probably the most played game in the contest, and it's much more fun than Donkey Kong. Why would it not be strong? Aya Brea starred in Square's bestselling non-FF game (until Kingdom Hearts). You think that means nothing on GameFAQs? Vivi was almost as strong as Auron in 2k4. Why must you bash him so? Finally, all of those matches are from before 2k5. DK changed in 2k5, just like Kirby changed. His match with Sam Fisher says otherwise. Fisher's had two games since 2k3, and Fisher 2k4 is an anomaly. Boosts don't have to be proportional -- DK is Nintendo, he's not necessarily Mario. People will swear up and down that Samus didn't boost in 2k5, or even that she dropped, and yet will claim that Donkey Kong had a radically huge boost based on...Master Chief? I'm not saying that DK's as strong as he looks, I'm just saying that he's stronger than he was in 2k4.

Fisher 2004 may be an anomaly, but he's certainly not as strong as 2005 suggests either. The strength of the characters that DK faced has nothing to do with saying he choked. I don't care how popular Parasite Eve is (and it wasn't THAT popular, believe me), DK shouldn't have had that much trouble beating Aya Brea. The match against Duck Hunt was a choke because he let 3000 votes get away from it. I don't really care if DK was "supposed" to lose to Vercetti or Master Chief. The fact is that he had a chance to pull a big upset, and choked it away big time. In the end, he lost both matches going away. DK/Vivi was a heavily debated match, and DK...doesn't even make a match out of it. He is a choker. Trying to justify his chokes by pointing out the good things about his opponents doesn't make him any less of a choker. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

Sure, DK might have "choked" in a lot of his matches, but can being a
"choker" really be an intristic part of a character's popularity?
Should we really be basing our contest predictions on superstition? In
my opinion, all of his "chokes" are just coincidence. Saying a
character's popularity can waver to various levels in order to provide
a "choke" match doesn't seem very logical to me. Plus, is it fair to compare matches like DK/Aya, DK/Duck Hunt, DK/Vivi, and DK/MC and act as if they're all the same type of match. By that logic, you could call lots of characters chokers. Mario: 2002- Gives up 25% of the vote to Servbot and gets massacred by Link in the finals despite being the favorite to win 2003- Lets Shadow get 45% on him Sp2004- Super Mario World only gets 40% on Chrono Trigger after its last match had people calling for a close match with Chrono Trigger. 2004- Mario loses to Crono in a match that's not even close after beating him the previous two years Sp2005 and 2005- OK. I really don't have anything here. Lots of people were predicting Mario to break 45% on Sephiroth and he didn't though. 2006- Mario Kart/Mega Man is the most debated match of the contest, yet Mario Kart is never in the running Mega Man: 2002- Holds the lead on Sephiroth most of the day, but throws it all away with the evening vote 2003- Gets 60/40'd by Seph despite beating him the year before 2004- Is supposed to put up a decent performance against Link, but gets double instead Sp2005- Sigma is supposed to beat Andross handily, but is barely able to win 2005- Almost loses to Sonic once the day vote comes in, and has to rely on the night vote for victory 2006- Nothing Would anybody honestly not take Mario or Mega Man in a close match because they are "choke artists"? --- Z1mZum totally owned me in the July 2006 Guru Contest The Funky Chickens in Trivia XVIII |

Fisher 2004 may be an anomaly, but he's certainly not as strong as 2005 suggests either. I think Fisher might be a little overrated too (although due to DK getting Master Chief anti-votes, rather than Master Chief overperforming on Crono), but I doubt it's by that much. Magus 2K5 would be projected to get roughly the same amount on Fisher 2K5 that he would in 2003.* *Technically, it's a little less. --- Z1mZum totally owned me in the July 2006 Guru Contest The Funky Chickens in Trivia XVIII |
