Indeed. Now, how do those compare to, say, MGS2? About a million more copies. The fact that it exceeded a million pretty much denies all claims that it is a "flop." --- "Winning isn't about being lucky, it's about being bold." -- Captain Falcon |

*sigh* Zero vs Kirby bothers me so much.... I can't ignore Kirby's 2005 strength, but I also can't ignore how much of a factor Zero is overall. Kirby has done well vs Squall, Bowser, tripled a FF character, 58% on Tidus.... Zero had his 47/48 on Sonic in 03. But that may be defunct. But he had 45 on Mega Man in 04. Also I don't know what to make of 61 on Vercetti. 63 on Ryu H is pretty blah if you ask me, and 37 on Mario is just decent. But I can't just look past his overall power. On paper, it seems he should beat Kirby, but Kirby had 48% ON BOWSER. BOWSER HAD 49.5% ON SNAKE. What do you guys think, this is the hardest match of the contest for me...? --- WiggumFan534 (Now with 100% more... just more...) : Owned by Z1mmy Since 1987 Happily married to Alanna82 on VDay 2005 |

The hardest match for me is Ganondorf vs. Vincent, and I have a feeling
it'll be the closest match on the male side. Both of them have great
reasons to win that match. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Owned by Z1mZum in the Best. Series. Ever. Guru Contest |

Yeah, but since Vincent = Squall, just about (very slightly more
powerful, the match bewteen those 2 was within 51-49), I think Ganon
would beat Squall. So Ganon should beat Vince. SFF scares me a bit
there though. Still, I always considered Ganon to be the next one up after the N9. --- WiggumFan534 (Now with 100% more... just more...) : Owned by Z1mmy Since 1987 Happily married to Alanna82 on VDay 2005 |

I don't know how you can say this...he'd be on no one's radar if it wasn't for that fad. The "needs you" page will do nothing, but the fad itself is obviously a big reason why he made it at all. That's not quite what I meant - you're right, but I was referring to the Objection site linking to the nominations page doing nothing. I probably should've specified that. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." |

For Zero vs. Kirby, this match wouldn't be considered an issue if
Bowser hadn't overperformed against Snake. That's really the only piece
of evidence in Kirby's favor, so his dubious rise in the standings in
the last contest isn't enough for me to bet against Zero's solid
historic pedigree. --- Official Queen ***** of the Universe! Political Compass: 0.00, -3.90 |

the last contest isn't enough for me to bet against Zero's solid

Kirby was 2% away from 50-50ing Bowser. Plus, like I said he tripled Cecil, an FFer. Kirby was for real in 2005. Zero was unimpressive vs Ryu, did very well vs Lloyd, and only so-so on Mario. Zero's trend hs been down. Kirby's has been up. That's my 2 cetns to Kirby. It's just hard to pick against Zero. --- WiggumFan534 (Now with 100% more... just more...) : Owned by Z1mmy Since 1987 Happily married to Alanna82 on VDay 2005 |

But, while that match is suspicious, it's consistent with 2005 Kirby
in general. After all, I'd expect Bowser to get about 60% on Tidus,
which is 2% better than Kirby did. Kirby was 2% away from 50-50ing
Bowser. Plus, like I said he tripled Cecil, an FFer. Kirby was for real
in 2005. Well, Tidus actually looked stronger in 2k5 than in 2k4, which, IMO, doesn't make much sense. Adjusting him back down to his 2k4 level makes Kirby's 2k5 power somewhat less extreme...and since I believe Bowser did overperform on Snake, adjusting that division down makes sense to me. I attribute some of Kirby's 2005 run to being fresh off Canvas Curse, with many people still playing through it. But...CC really wasn't that big. Amazing Mirror, which also came out after SC2k4, sold more than twice as well as CC did. I think the two games combined were what gave Kirby his boost, moreso Amazing Mirror than CC. Interestingly, Kirby's three best-selling games have come out since 2k2, with #5 being CC. Fun fact: Kirby Super Star sold 33,000 copies. Still think it's Kirby's strongest game? --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

This is old as I'm catching up, and I'm sure other people commented
on this, too, but as someone who's repeatedly not excited by the effect
of Advent Children, it still is not a game. It already appeared to a
fanbase that supported Final Fantasy VII. Aside from the valid argument
that it rallied the FFVII fans and made them vote more, I don't see
Advent Children as attracting new fans to a game/series in the same way
Kingdom Hearts did. Sorry if this is old, but, I just don't think an AC
to KH comparison is valid. But 55% of the site has seen it.. How could it not have an effect on Vincent, when he is a lot more prominent in it than in FFVII? Besides, movie characters can't be popular now? That's not much of a point IMO. Sure, gameFAQs is a gaming site, but the 55% viewer-rate is still there, despite it being, in fact, a gaming site. And there's still the point of the film making people like Vincent more. I'd vote Vincent over Squall in the rematch, but voted Squall last year. Well I actually voted for Vincent, but I regretted that somewhat. Lol anecdotal, but you get the point. a FFVII remake would appeal mostly to FFVII fans as well. You think it wouldn't boost FFVII characters? --- "The blood of the weak shall be the ink with which we scribe great Yawgmoth's glorious name." - Stronghold architect, journal. |

And I'd bet on Dirge helping Vincent out more than Advent Children,
really. I know when I think of AC and Vincent, his first scene sticks
out as being the most memorable (because it's ****ing awesome, for the
record). I can't even think of anything else. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever." Contest Now Playing: SOTC, KH:COM (Sora), FE8, SFAA, Castlevania: LoI |

From Phediuk Posted 8/27/2006 10:26:14 PM #189 The smiliarities between The Boss and Big Boss begin and end at their names. No one looked at the old guy with the eyepatch last year and went, "WHOA! He's the guy from MGS3!" They just didn't. If you think they did, you're wrong. Big Boss' true appearances in the MG series are limited to being the final boss of the first two games. That's it. He has, like, two lines total. I may also remind you that the Big Boss as seen in his match pic artwork last year has never appeared in any game, in any form. The Boss, on the other hand, is one of the main characters of MGS3. Comparing the two is just stupid. That's exactly why I'm taking The Boss. Big Boss in MGS3 isn't referred to as Big Boss until the very end, and even then, the vast majority of people refer to him as "Snake". Old Man Big Boss did absolutely nothing in any MGS game; only in Metal Gear 1 and 2. Coincidentally, that's why I also have a slight doubt in my mind about Kerrigan. What if... just what if she got her Brood War box art pic? That thing she got last year only appears on Blizzard's official website and nowhere else. I'm sure that the Kerrigan that every Starcraft fan sees when they load up SC would be strong enough to overcome the rather small difference between herself and Terra. --- That... was her final mission.

I wouldn't really call that a small difference. You have to hope for
Brood War box art and Vincent massively overrating the entire Devil
Division. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever." Contest Now Playing: SOTC, KH:COM (Sora), FE8, SFAA, Castlevania: LoI |

By the way, have I mentioned how much I like this Battle Royale idea?
Samus/Crono (assuming both even get that far) is a lock for 5/6
somewhere, as is Link being #1 in the end. But 2/3/4 is tough. Mario is
probably the odd one out. So we have a Link/Cloud/Sephy poll, and it is so hard for me to imagine Sephy not taking second place in that. Yet I can't put it in my bracket. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever." Contest Now Playing: SOTC, KH:COM (Sora), FE8, SFAA, Castlevania: LoI |

Finally made it back! And to a new bracket! Here are my impressions as I look at the first round matches one at a time. Spazer Division (1) Samus Aran (8) Nidoran F First of all, Spazer?! What is that? Anyway, I guess Ceej just can’t get away from having a Nintendo character start any contest. Either way, this is the perfect opponent for Nidoran F to see just how low she can go. (4) Ada Wong (5) Jade Is this Mortal Kombat Jade or what? I’m assuming it is. Either way, I didn’t expect her to make it in. I actually had to think about this match for a second before making a decision. *goes to board and reads Ceej’s sticky topic* Oh, nevermind then. (3) Rikku (6) Lenneth Valkyrie Hey, Lenneth made it in! Here’s the one person who can beat Nidoran F for dead last in the stats. Rikku makes a big killing here. (2) Kairi (7) Claire Redfield Man, talk about a situation where seeding should have been reversed. At least Claire makes her long-deserved return here. Limit Division (1) Tifa Lockheart (8) Ivy Valentine Looks like Tifa won’t get a chance to face Zelda before the end. Here’s hoping Aeris is in this division somewhere. Oh, Ivy? Big deal. She gets destroyed. (4) The Boss (5) Celes Chere Awesome match here. I’m glad to see both of them in. I just wish they didn’t have to face each other right off the bat. (3) Jill Valentine (6) Sheena Fujibayashi Hey, Sheena made it in! Oh, she gets the privilege of getting owned by Ms. Valentine in round one. What a shame. She could’ve won a match with a better draw. (2) Princess Peach (7) Princess Daisy What the? Now Peach is going to look unusually strong going into round 2 because she gets to destroy her much less well-known alter ego. Oh well, all the better when brackets come crashing down. Triforce Division (1) Princess Zelda (8) Carmen Sandiego *starts singing the “Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?” theme song* Oh, there she is. It’ll be fun to see where she ends up. (4) Terra Branford (5) Sarah Kerrigan Hey, two girls from the Devil Division last year! That actually makes this a really easy matchup to predict. (3) KOS-MOS (6) Amy Rose AMY ROSE!!!! That is all. I’m not even going to acknowledge anything else about this match. (2) Aeris Gainsborough (7) Marle Well, at least we get Zelda/Aeris, though Tifa/Aeris would have been better. Here’s hoping Marle gets smashed into the ground. Aeon Division (1) Yuna (8) Roll Ahh, man. Why did Roll have to get an opponent I can’t vote for her against? Ah well, at least she’s here, and so far, Tron Bonne is not. The better Mega Man lady made it in. (4) Joanna Dark (5) Cortana Whoa, Cortana actually made it in?! And here I was thinking Lopen was just crazy. I’ll get another opportunity to call him crazy when he picks Cortana to win this one. This is the Lopen Trap Match, and it shall be dubbed thus from hereafter. (3) Chun-Li (6) Kasumi Hey, Kasumi made it back! Whoo-hoo! Fighting game female SFF ahoy! Wait…Chun-Li might have a fighting chance at making it out of this division, though she’s the underdog against Yuna. (2) Lara Croft (7) Alyx Vance Wait, we get Alyx Vance (infamous for being one of the worst characters in my NCAA Character Contest!) and NOT Presea Combatir? This sucks. --- Squall, Tidus, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden Presea, Chun-Li, Tifa, Celes, Quistis, Amy Rose, Mei Ling |

Patriot Division (1) Solid Snake (8) Soma Cruz SNAAAAAAAAAKE! SC2K6 Championship, here we come! (4) Squall Leonhart (5) Tidus ………………………………………I hate you, CJayC. My top three favorite characters ever in one four-pack. This sucks. And to think, this was actually considered a highly debatable match at one point. (3) Riku (6) Yoshi My, overseeded Kingdom Hearts characters everywhere! Riku could have actually been a good trap match if used somewhere else. (2) Dante Sparda (7) Ryu Hayabusa But I like this. Looks like Ceej did take some ideas from the Four-Pack of Fun Board, after all! Good work! Destiny Division (1) Sora (8) Tingle Oh well, looks like we won’t see a 90% blowout on Tingle! It’ll be interesting to see just how much he can get on Sora though. (4) Phoenix Wright (5) Gordon Freeman …I think I just heard the universe imploding somewhere. Two of the biggest Board 8 phenomena around facing off in round one. This’ll be a fun day on the board, at least. (3) Kratos (God of War) (6) Ryu (Street Fighter) Hey, look! It’s a 3 seeded Kratos facing a heavily underseeded contest regular! Where have we seen this one before?! *crosses fingers and hopes Ryu can win this division* (2) Mega Man (7) Axel *uncrosses fingers* Heh, at least Kingdom Hearts Axel made it into the contest. That’s pretty cool. Blast Division (1) Sonic the Hedgehog (8) CATS Three Noble Niners down, six more to go. Keep up the good work, CATS. (4) Ganondorf (5) Vincent Valentine Holy crap. This is Sweet Sixteen material here. Huge bracket buster right off the bat. This should have been in Snake’s division though. (3) Kirby (6) The Prince of Persia Introducing the Nomination Rally winner, the Prince of Persia! Kirby is gonna get some awesome powers from him! (2) Luigi (7) Zero …Whoa! CJayC has been reading the stats topics! Seeing Zero as a 7 seed is…weird. But man, this is a tough four-pack. I’ll have to think about this one some more. Time Division (1) Crono (8) Captain Falcon Crono finally gets his much-deserved 1 seed, and he gets another Nomination Rally character to feed upon! (4) Bowser Koopa (5) Leon Kennedy Hey, Leon made it back! Too bad he doesn’t have much of a chance to win. It’ll be interesting to see if he can outdo Ryu though, for all of the people who think Leon can beat him. (3) Auron (6) Alucard The man with the Plan snuck back into the bracket with another 6 seed. This time, he doesn’t get an overseeded 3 though. (2) Master Chief (7) Sub-Zero All right, Sub-Zero got in! Wait…this means Knuckles the Echidna didn’t. NOOOOOOOOOO! Well, three outta five Nomination Rally winners ain’t bad. Better luck next year, Raiden and Nightmare! Battle Royale Wow, I like what CJayC did with this. Instead of the usual Tournament of Champions, he decides to mix it up a bit. This certainly heightens the unpredictability. --- Squall, Tidus, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden Presea, Chun-Li, Tifa, Celes, Quistis, Amy Rose, Mei Ling |

Now that's just madness. It's kind of impossible for someone to have
more exposure in a movie than in ~30 hours of a ~40 hour game. ~*ST*~ Well, more prominent relatively, of course. In AC, he's pretty much the 3rd most prominent character behind Cloud and Tifa. In FFVII, he's the most secret of all the main characters, and is behind a crapload of characters prominence-wise. And the length of exposure doesn't really matter a whole lot in Vincent's case I think. It's not like Vincent had a lot to say. You either found him or you didn't, and then you either used him or you didn't. AC gives him a lot more character IMO. And I'd bet on Dirge helping Vincent out more than Advent Children, really. I know when I think of AC and Vincent, his first scene sticks out as being the most memorable (because it's ****ing awesome, for the record). I can't even think of anything else. ~*ST*~ I don't know. Vincent is supposedly awesome in DoC as well, but how many of the site have played it? Hard to say.

Fact. Half-Life 2 is a popular game, and Lara is fading fast. How anybody can say this is beyond me...Legend revived the series, and she's got 10th Anniversary Edition coming in December. Lara is by no means "fading fast" - quite the opposite, in fact. The move to Crystal Dynamics is one of the best things that could have happened for her.

Why people are legitimately debating Lara/Celes escapes me. Terra is
more than likely stronger than Celes. Terra lost to Dante with only
28.5% of the vote. Lara has since had Legend (which will help her a
lot) and the 10th anniversary edition announcement for the "purist"
Lara fans who preferred the old PS1 games to Legend (2 > Legend >
the rest). I'd put her back at her 2k2 strength this contest, maybe a
little weaker but not much. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz Hi-ho, Hi-ho, Z1m Zum, Z1m Zum...our guru champ. |

And for all of the Luigi/Zero/Kirby debates, the ONE thing that makes
me wary about picking Zero to win even against Luigi is that the green
plumber will be a ridiculously large bracket favorite. If it's close,
that could be a difference maker. ...Wait, I just realized that Ceej put more of my favorite characters in a four-pack! CURSE YOUUUUUUUUU! --- Squall, Tidus, The Prince of Persia, Nightmare, Sub-Zero, Captain Falcon, Raiden Presea, Chun-Li, Tifa, Celes, Quistis, Amy Rose, Mei Ling |

Yeah, I have a bad feeling she's going to get owned. Seriously though, her chances of beating Jill are around the general area of slim and none. --- The user name says it all. |

By the way, does anyone think Snake might overperform against Dante if they were to face off? Just an odd feeling I have. --- As you wish. |

I'd love to see Sheena beat Jill. --- Z1mZum won the Guru Contest. I picked Pokemon over Metroid, GTA over Warcraft, Halo over CV, Street Fighter over RE, and FF over Zelda. |

Oddly enough when I first saw Snake/Tidus/Squall in a fourpack my first thought was "Damn... that sucks for Leon" =P And if Kairi.... KAIRI beats one of the better RE characters, I will be thoroughly freaking digusted. --- Everything's 10X better with a RKO and Orton pose. ~ Donkey111 |

FF7 has had a lot in its favor over the last year. Advent Children and
Dirge of Cerberus were released, Kingdom Hearts II is out, and there's
one another fact that I think is very overlooked: FF7 as a game is in high demand, and the prices for the game are soaring. I really do think FF7 has had more to boost from than Zelda or Nintendo has (too bad we didn't have a "what's your favorite company?" poll this past year). For that matter, I don't think Final Fantasy could've managed 49% against The Legend of Zelda if the series contest was held -last- year. I definitely want to call Vincent the favorite over Ganondorf, and also Aeris over Zelda assuming we aren't extremely close to the release of the Wii/Zelda: TP or some other majorly helpful thing for Zelda comes up. I must note to everybody that the winner of Aeris/Zelda gets a free-pass the next round (against Yuna)...if you miss it, you've missed 12 points. Sorry, but there's NO WAY Luigi would beat Kirby, since Kirby got 48% against Bowser. Either Kirby is that strong, OR Kirby would get at least the same amount of beneficial SFF against Luigi and beat Luigi, anyway. And, if Luigi was SFFed by Yoshi, that means even bigger problems for Luigi on the SFF chain. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?"

There's really too much against Luigi to take him over Kirby,
unfortunately. You've got a direct matchup against Squall where Kirby
did 5% better. Then you have the match against Bowser, where you'd
likely have to think Luigi > Yoshi or Yoshi > Bowser to take
Luigi there. And even if you're one of those proponents of a Kirby
overperformance, if he can do that to Bowser, that's not good news for
Luigi. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |

Nah, I feel good about her doing well enough for herself in the match, if nothing else... ...but last year, Kratos Aurion is at 19.2%, and I remember a poll on Namco's site saying Sheena > Kratos (though it was pretty close). From there, we last saw Jill in 2k4, and she was at 20.65%. I know Hayabusa looked stronger in 2k5 than 2k4, but also compare their pictures -- he got the look he's actually KNOWN for in 2k5 instead of his not-only-ugly-but-easily-mistakable-as-well pics, and Jill still was practically equal with him that year. So, let's assume this was Jill VS Kratos Aurion... ...Jill wins with 53.51%... ...if Sheena > Kratos Aurion and/or Jill dropped any since 2k4, there very well could be a close match to be seen. I'm still giving it to Jill, but I have a shaky feeling about Sheena. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

and I remember a poll on Namco's site saying Sheena > Kratos Unless the poll had a very, very small number of votes, I don't find that likely, for some reason. --- "...And then they made me their chief." - Captain Jack Sparrow |
