Got Ganon right now, but yeah... it's just a really tough pick. Could go either way. It really isn't. I will be chocked of Ganondorf does not win that match. --- Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances. |

Zelda/Aeris and Jill/Peach are the only matches that have made me pause. Those are no-brainers! KOS-MOS/Amy, Chun-Li/Kasumi, Celes/The Boss, and Lara/Alyx are the hardest. And that's only round one. --- caps |

Chief/Sub-Zero is my #2 pick. Riku/Yoshi just seems to have all the ingredients necessary for Squall/Luigi 2, however. --- Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... Part of your woooorld! |

Zelda/Aeris and Jill/Peach are the only matches that have made me pause. I just went over the Zelda/Aerith bit in another topic, but to go over it again here... If you look at that match, many would say that if Twilight Princess is out by the time of the match (November 3rd), then Zelda is going to clearly be the winner, which makes sense. Now, even if it doesn't make it (I would almost think it's unlikely it won't release around then), Zelda 2k5 is stronger than Aerith 2k3 -- Zelda wins with 51.33%. Now you could certainly make a case for Aerith increasing these past few years through more recent things like KH2 and AC, even in the face of the Nintendo Boost. But given this site's clear preference to Nintendo as of late, the very real possibility of Twilight Princess releasing, and the fact that if Aerith were stronger, it's by very tiny margins makes Zelda a safer pick in this case. --- "Winning isn't about being lucky, it's about being bold." -- Captain Falcon |

I'm not sure if Sub could pull that off. Sub would have to be equaling
DK. Anyone think Sub is THAT much more popular than Scorps? --- “Back in my day we used to actually play our videogames instead of watching them.” - Vivi0198 |

Hmmm...I wonder who will win the Magus award this year (i.e, entrants
who people have high expectations for, but end up bombing hard). 2002 - Gordon Freeman 2003 - Luigi Games - Kingdom Hearts 2004 - Viewtiful Joe Villains - Kuja 2005 - Magus Series - Grand Theft Auto 2006 - ? I'm guessing Gordon Freeman will be winning this award for the second time, though there are other possible worthy candidates. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Owned by Z1mZum in the Best.

From: WilhuffTarkin Got Ganon right now, but yeah... it's just a really tough pick. Could go either way. It really isn't. I will be chocked of Ganondorf does not win that match. Vincent would have really had to overperform on Crono to be considered a lot weaker than Ganondorf. Also, no one is debating female matches 'cause we have no stats on them >_> I think there will be a lot of surprises on that side though. --- http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/5394/nidoranfcx9.png Vote Nidoran F! |

in the end. --- Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances. |

Phoenix Wright is another possible candidate for that award, and if he
loses to Gordon, he'll definitely win it (he'll go down as the one guy
who let the universe implode). --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Owned by Z1mZum in the Best. Series. Ever. Guru Contest |

Vincent would have really had to overperform on Crono to be considered a lot weaker than Ganondorf. A lot weaker? Even looking at the stats without considering the possibility of Ganon being SFFed (which I consider likely), Vincent wins that match with 52.71%.

tough match. But I'm surprised anyone thinks that Ganondorf won't win
in the end. Really? I'm surprised about statements like these, myself. Stat-wise, Vincent 2k5 is stronger than Ganondorf has ever been. I'll admit that I take Ganon > Vincent in 2k5 in a close one.

Anyone think Yoshi/Dante and Ganon/Vincent go hand-in-hand? Nope. I have Dante & Ganon, but I have to admit I'm thinking about switching to Yoshi.

I'm placing my money on Kairi to win that award, if anyone does. I had Claire yesterday, but I've since switched it up and won't be switching back. Claire's only stats value is from 2002, and it's obviously waaay off. Just how in the heck can Claire be 3% stronger than Jill mere months after REMake? Jill is Resident Evil's main lady, and she just had a big Gamecube released that April. It makes no sense. Also, hasn't Claire been completely absent from gaming for five years? I don't think she's had a single thing since Code Veronica X, which was released in 2001. --- Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... Part of your woooorld! |

Anyone think Yoshi/Dante and Ganon/Vincent go hand-in-hand? As someone who currently has Yoshi > Dante and Vincent > Ganon, hell no. Aside from Yoshi being an easy pick for me, Vincent's actually had a bunch of stuff since 2k5, unlike Dante. --- Commit it to memory. |

Also, I'd be willing to bet that DMC:SE does more for Dante than AC
does for anyone starring in it. Not like there is going to be anyone to
actually distinguish this, but meh. I hate talk of an AC boost,
especially when it was already leaked during last contest and did
apparently nothing, and that's when the hype around it was high. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids - Team Tranny Did! |

I read that almost entirely wrong...whoops! But, good grief one does
not have to be a lot weaker to lose the damn match. >> But come on. AC + DoC versus nothing? If the Nintendo Boost continues as a result of Nintendo's dominant performance at E3, then he may be able to see something slight...but I'm not banking on it. What I do doubt is DoC's ability to do much of anything given how poorly the game is received overall. This is not entirely from critics, but the FFVII fans who have played the game and thought it was awful. Now Advent Children is a tricky situation...but I'm rather confident in Ganon pulling it out. I have not yet gone and done the research needed to have something to really counter this yet, but it'll be coming soon!! --- "Winning isn't about being lucky, it's about being bold." -- Captain Falcon |

Aeris's performance is more impressive to me. I probably take Aeris if TP isn't going to be out. If you buy basing stats of base link, 2K5 Snake takes out 2K3 Sonic pretty easily. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids - Team Tranny Did! |

especially when it was already leaked during last contest and did

You have to be kidding if you consider AC sold about 6 times as much as DMC: SE (plus, it's a movie: of the +55% of people that have watched AC, only like 25% actually bought it). I wouldn't account for the leak to do much of anything. --- "The blood of the weak shall be the ink with which we scribe great Yawgmoth's glorious name." - Stronghold architect, journal. |

Eh, I'm not a fan of Sonic being underrated in 2k3. In addition to
getting doubled up by Cloud, his matches against Zero and Aeris also
point to a thoroughly lackluster year. Snake probably beats Sonic in
2k3. --- Commit it to memory. |

I would've put Warcraft over Castlevania, but really, I think
Castlevania did a lot more than we gave it credit for. It walloped Halo
and kept it close with Kingdom Hearts for half a day before ultimately
falling apart. All Warcraft did was barely beat GTA and get blown off the face of the earth by Mario. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Owned by Z1mZum in the Best. Series. Ever. Guru Contest |

Aeris's performance is more impressive to me. I probably take Aeris if TP isn't going to be out. Only if you believe Snake in 2k5 to be that much weaker than Sonic 2k3...which he wasn't. Zelda 2k5 is stronger than Aerith 2k3 by a bit. But there just isn't that much in favor of Aerith in this match, I don't think. Everything is more advantageous to Zelda. --- "Winning isn't about being lucky, it's about being bold." -- Captain Falcon |

personally, I'd pick Sonic over Snake every year we've had a contest. 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. --- iddqd "MY SLEEPING PATTERNS ARE SHOT THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR FANFICTION" -windmage |
