I could say the same thing about Ada Wong, but that doesn't mean she's going to beat Tifa or whoever she's against. >_> now, you're just being crazy. --- i have officially been Z1mZum'D in the guru contest. Vincent Valentine to win the Blast Division!! |

Aeris has more of a reason to go up in my opinion than Zelda. (this,
of course, assumes no TP.) I don't see why Zelda would be any stronger
this year than she was the previous year besides a continued Nintendo
boost. Aeris at least has things like KH2 and AC. I actually think Aeris peaked in 2k3. I'm not buying her being much stronger than she was in 2k3. Don't forget that we've recently seen Tifa in the previous contest. Unless you're a fan of Aeris > Tifa, Zelda has shown to be plenty capable of taking out Aeris. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

So HM really thinks Ganondorf will beat Sonic? The same guy who thought Star Ocean would beat Pokemon? On one hand, we have a match with past data and plenty of reasonable logic as to why Ganon is capable of beating Sonic. On the other, we have a match with data that suggests Pokemon is horrifically weak, no data on Star Ocean, but the potential that Pokemon can be beat by lesser RPGs just fine. Gee, I wonder what's comparable about those two -- nothing for you clever little guys who want to say "You'll be wrong"!! And to recap my last character battle ... The same guy who thought Mario would win last year. The same guy who thought Mario would face Crono and win. The same guy who thought Vincent would win his division. The same guy who thought Squall would beat Magus. (Note: These may not be unique situations where no one else chose them, but some people need to learn what I have done right. ;_;) --- "Winning isn't about being lucky, it's about being bold." -- Captain Falcon |

Hey the match will be close either way. I'm just annoyed when people
take hard matches and act like they're mortal locks. You'd think the
stats topic getting embarrassed time and time again for doing that
would have taught these people something. I know I've stopped doing it. Cuz' there's no way Bowser could be stronger than Ganondorf, mirite? <_< --- Commit it to memory. |

How could Bowser be stronger when they faced the same opponent two days
apart from one another? And then there's Zelda > Mario SFF. I

i am saying that it is POSSIBLE for her to beat Rikku based on the fact that we have ZERO match history for Kairi. Anything may be possible, but you have to consider the probability of it happening. Kairi has essentially a zero percent chance to beat Rikku. She would have to be strength comparable to both Sora and Riku before their KH2 boosts. If you really want to buy that, you're free to. --- "Winning isn't about being lucky, it's about being bold." -- Captain Falcon |

seriously don't get it. Because I'm willing to bet Ganondorf leeches off the Nintendo fanbase more than anyone. He arguably got SFF'd by Samus and that sure as hell doesn't make Ganon look good in any match involving Nintendo SFF. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Owned by Z1mZum in the Best. Series.

In order for Ganondorf to be that strong in the first place, you're banking on Metroid > Zelda SFF. --- Commit it to memory. |

But yeah I'm in no way saying Vincent > Ganondorf is a lock and I do
expect it to be close, but I was just baffled for a while there when
some people couldn't understand Vincent winning.

How could Bowser be stronger when they faced the same opponent two
days apart from one another? And then there's Zelda > Mario SFF. I
seriously don't get it. Again... 1-2% could be fluctuation alone. Again, everything Zelda doesn't SFF everything Mario. Bowser is a lot more established than Ganon. Even if Ganon is stronger indirectly, I could see a huge chunk of the overlap going towards Bowser. Hell, even a small chunk of the overlap going towards Bowser gives him the win. He certainly isn't going to lose SFF to Ganon... --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

In order for Ganondorf to be that strong in the first place, you're banking on Metroid > Zelda SFF. When you put that into perspective, it's not too bad!! As of right now, I would expect Bowser to win against Ganon, if only because any SFF in that match is going to go Bowser's way. Post-TP, however, is another situation entirely, one in which Ganon doesn't have much trouble beating Bowser. Ganon's problem is that he isn't quite at that point to establish himself and gather a fanbase outside of "I like Zelda so I'll vote for Ganon!" Twilight Princess should help establish him more as someone with capable strength even against Nintendo characters, removing that whole leech stuff. Ganon v. Vincent is just brutal no matter how you slice it. There's enough there to believe that either one can win and it should be a really close match regardless of the winner.
