And 2k4 being the best...oh, man. 2k4 was so bad. It was
so horrifically, utterly predictable that it has caused grown men to be
moved to tears. It was riddled with so much intentional SFF (something
you've criticized 2k3 with?) that the devil himself could not have planned it any worse. 2k4 had Frog's run and one surprise...Sora. Oh MAN that was a terrible contest. --- Commit it to memory. |

I don't care if you predicted it correctly. The whole damn board had
Frog > Liquid Snake and Frog > MC, that didn't stop those matches
from being insanely close. The board got lucky, the people who picked
Magus got lucky. And those matches were insanely close and entertaining
either way you go. Than it just comes down to a case of personal preference then. I for one am a big Frog and Magus fan, however I didn't care that much about Ganondorf/Tidus because well...I think they are bland characters. See what I'm getting at? --- WWEGSB Hardcore Legend And Tag Champ Masa I jobbed to Z1mZum in the Guru Contest. Did you? |

03 and Games were clearly the best because they had the most
unpredictability and the best fields. I wasnt around for 02, but that
field looks pathetic in comparision to what 03 put out. And Games was
highly unpredictable (besides the winner). --- The *only* good thing about this contest is that Ceej might share with us the split between female/male nominations for Samus. ~creativename |

If you wanted to talk personal preference in characters, 2k5 would be
leaps and bounds away my favorite contest. My favorite character makes
the Final Four in spectacular fashion, my second favorite character wins the contest, my third favorite character boosts like crazy and nearly beats Mega Man... ...but in terms of a CONTEST it's not that good, for a number of reasons. There were no really close matches, for one. There can be personal preference on what makes a better contest -- heck, it's 2k2 and Games that are regularly touted as the best ones. --- Commit it to memory. |

2002 had a piss-poor field, but the unpredictability of that contest
cannot be denied. We had never had a contest before, we had nothing to
go on in judging how people would do. All we could do was roll the dice
and root as hard as we could for our favorite characters. Games was like that to an extent, but we had the character contests to lower unpredictability and there was too much SFF as well. 2k2 is a state that will never be replicated again. --- Commit it to memory. |

The only way people can say 2k3 wasn't a great contest was because they
weren't there at the time or didn't follow it closely. Magus, Kefka and
Vercetti were all thought to take down Link, Crono and Mega Man/Snake
at the time, but now it would be a no brainer. Heck in 2k2 Crono/Dante
was voted as match of the round. --- "I was trying to escape. Obviously, it didn't work." - President Bush |

Mario/Bowser, Magus/Crono, Link/Ganon, the Squaresoft SFF,
Zero/Protoman. Some clear examples of SFF sure(Note: I'm not putting
Zero/Mega Man on here because Zero did pretty good given the match.)
But the 04 contest made up for it in matches such as Frog's path, one
of my favorite characters in Snake making contest history in a huge
blowout against Tanner, the unpredictability of the Solid **** sprite
and how much it took for him to overcome Frog after being given that
pic, Crono finally overcoming Mario, Samus putting Sonic fans to tears,
and all sorts of good stuff. Like I said before though, I guess it all
comes down to personal preference for me. --- WWEGSB Hardcore Legend And Tag Champ Masa I jobbed to Z1mZum in the Guru Contest. Did you? |

I was around in 03 and it just didn't do much for me. My bad guys
<_< and theres alotta good stuff in 05 that you can't deny about.
Matter of fact, now that I analyze the two brackets a little more, I'd
probably say 05 > all is more like it. 2002 had a piss-poor field, but the unpredictability of that contest cannot be denied. Thats what I think this contest will kinda be like. --- WWEGSB Hardcore Legend And Tag Champ Masa I jobbed to Z1mZum in the Guru Contest. Did you? |

I loved the 2005 contest and it had many awesome moments. - CJayC having to remove votes for the first time since 2002 in the epic Kefka/Vercetti match. - Magus's historic flop. - Vincent's elite eight run, which included the destruction of Kerrigan and going toe-to-toe with Squall. - Solid Snake making the Final Four (instant win!) after being underestimated in damn near every match. - Sonic/Mega Man having an epic match for the last Final Four slot. - Mario boosting like crazy and making mincemeat out of the bracket, which included Mario SFFing the crap out of Samus. - Master Chief making the biggest comeback ever on Donkey Kong. - Pac-Man pulling a huge upset over Ocelot. --- Character Battle V Score - 0/0 points Current Prediction - Samus Aran vs. Nidoran F |

Mario/Bowser, Magus/Crono, Link/Ganon, the Squaresoft SFF,
Zero/Protoman. Some clear examples of SFF sure(Note: I'm not putting
Zero/Mega Man on here because Zero did pretty good given the match.) "The Squaresoft SFF" can encompass a LOT. The fact that we had SFF matches in the third round (Link/Yoshi, Cloud/Squall) was pathetic -- and we very well could have had another -- we were 100 votes away from seeing Solid/Liquid! But the 04 contest made up for it in matches such as Frog's path, one of my favorite characters in Snake making contest history in a huge blowout against Tanner, After seeing the destruction at first, that match was MASSIVELY boring. And I'm the biggest Snake fan here. the unpredictability of the Solid **** sprite and how much it took for him to overcome Frog after being given that pic, This would go under 'Frog's Run'. Crono finally overcoming Mario, Samus putting Sonic fans to tears, Both of these are boring and anticlimactic. And Samus > Sonic was also massively expected seeing as how Samus had massively outclassed him in 2k3 and simple common sense. The only reason why Crono > Mario wasn't expected because it followed up the dead even Mario/Crono matches before -- you know, the good ones. and all sorts of good stuff. Like I said before though, I guess it all comes down to personal preference for me. It's not like I'm trying to attack your tastes, but... ...well, I just don't know a good way to end that sentence. =/ --- Commit it to memory. |

Hey, 2k5 was a damn good contest. I can see someone legitimately
picture that to be the best, especially if they weren't around for the
others. It's just that even considering 2004 to be the best or 2003 to
be the worst just baffles me. --- Commit it to memory. |

After picking my jaw off of the ground upon hearing that people
actually liked 2004, I took a second look at it. And yep, I still
dislike it. SFF everywhere, no real surprises other than Frog and Sora
(and I bet if Sora wasn't rSFFed by Aeris the previous year, it
wouldn't have been a surprise). Even from a personal preference it sucked. Shadow lost to Tidus in Round 1, Kirby lost to Squall in Round 2. Link not only SFFed Ganon to the ground, but also Yoshi. The only thing I enjoyed that Contest was the Samus > Cloud run. And I don't need to restate why 2003 was superior IMO. Anyway, SC2K3 > SC2K5 > Sp2004 >>>>> SC2K4 > VC > BSE Yeah, I wasn't a fan of StarCraft's run. The bracket could have also been alot better. I'd still love to see another Games Contest though --- Moltar Status: Bracket filled and ready to go. 2006 is the year of Samus Aran |

Give me some examples of stuff in the 03 contest that were
interesting besides a couple cool upsets like Squall owning Luigi and
the like. 2003 was the only contest we'll ever see Link lose. That counts for something, you know. Even crazier is that he came off a complete domination in 2002 -- he kills Mario, Mario beats Cloud -- and gets beaten by someone who should have been much weaker than him (just by looking at results, none of that statisical stuff). 2003 may not have the best results in what you want, but there is little denying that it was easily one of the best -- if not the best -- contests we've ever had. --- "Zelda isn't the type of game that can be a 100 on a scale of 1 to 100 -- it has to be 120." |

How can you like 2004 the same as 2003? 2003 was leaps and bounds ahead of 2004. 2004 kinda sucked. Summer 2004 is deeply underrated. I'm not saying it's the best contest, cause it wasn't. But it didn't suck like so many people seem to think. In retrospect SC2k4 looks extremely predictable, but the thing is we didn't know as much back then as we do now. Plenty of people thought Sephiroth had a shot at winning because he'd been so close to Cloud in 2003. Even other winners seemed like a longshot rather than an impossibility - we'd only had two character battles so far, and Sephiroth had gone from 50.5% on Mega Man to 61% on Mega Man while Cloud had gone from 8th in the stats to winning the contest. We didn't know that kind of thing wouldn't happen to someone else. We thought Magus might be a threat to rSFF Crono. There was a fair amount of uncertainty. Then you get to what actually happened in the contest. SC2k4 had Frog/Liquid and Frog/MC. It had Tidus/Shadow. It had Sora shocking everyone against Ryu Hayabusa. For hilarity it had two of the best blowouts ever, Link/Ganon and Snake/Tanner. It had HM looking like a genius when Mega Man put up big numbers on Tidus and Snake - and then it had him crashing and burning when Link SFFed Mega Man. It had Samus projecting to beat Cloud with ease after both of her first two matches. It had an account bet between Slowflake and SecondBest. 2k4 was a pretty good contest. Trying to rate things as objectively as I can, Games > 2k2 > 2k3 > 2k4 > 2k5 > Series > Villains In my opinion the Villains contest was by far the worst and the only one I consider really bad. It only had two remotely interesting matches, CATS/Ansem and Master Hand/Kuja. It also suffered from having entrants that no one cared about. 2k5 probably had the best bracket, but the actual contest was kind of disappointing, since there were no real nailbiters. The best matches were MM/Sonic, Squall/Vincent, and MC/DK, and none of those were on the level of the best matches from the contests that came before it. Games was the best because although the bracket could have been better, it had a lot of really good matches between entrants that people actually cared about: Starcraft/Halo, Starcraft/Wind Waker, CT/LttP, FFT/MGS, DK/DH in my opinion were all better than the best match from 2k5, series or villains. --- CATS's Road to the Character Battle V Championship Round 1: Sonic |

"Ganon over Snake without hesistation before TP!" I explained that.

I honestly don't see why TP happening on the day of Sonic/Ganondorf or
TP coming out a day or two before would mean anything. This isin't like
Link or Mario. There is no gurantee that all the Zelda fans that come
looking for help will automatically vote for Ganondorf over Sonic. If Ganondorf has as big a role as Nintendo says then I can see him being as high as HM says next year. But unless TP comes out way before Sonic/Ganondorf, most people won't see that big role yet. --- Demyx > Axel Z1mZum owned me in the Guru Contest with his mad skills! |

I explained that. I still think they'd be within 2% of each other,
but I would still take Ganon anyway, without hesitation...because I've
been mulling that one over for over a year, and if I saw it in a
bracket, it's what I'd take. Without hesitation. I re-iterate, I STILL
THINK IT WOULD BE VERY, VERY CLOSE. Perhaps you don't realize how damn close that makes Ganon to Sonic. The gap between the two if Ganon just barely, barely slips by is about 1.28%. Ganon doesn't even need Twilight Princess to beat Sonic if he's that close. You make it seem like there is a world of difference between Snake and Sonic when there's not that much. If Ganon beats Snake with 52%, then he's dead even with Sonic -- ahead by a slight margin even. Tell me when I've ever said that, please. I've said that if it comes out within 2 days of Ganon/Sonic, it's still not happening. Anything earlier and yes, Ganon would take it. You say that it wouldn't matter because people are going to be apparently setting up their consoles (this takes all of five minutes at the most) and then playing the game. Now you're assuming that the wondrous gamers of GameFAQs are not going to eventually take a break and not come here to look for help or to discuss the game with other people. ...Why? --- "Zelda isn't the type of game that can be a 100 on a scale of 1 to 100 -- it has to be 120." |
