Heh, that's what I first thought when I saw the bracket, KH. CATS has a better chance to beat Ganon than Sonic does. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

I'll admit Riku winning would be stretch, though. A pretty big one to say the least. --- Character Battle V Score - 0/0 points Current Prediction - Samus Aran vs. Nidoran F |

Sora winning the male bracket? Now there's an upset! Sora > Ganon in the semis! --- caps |

Also...why haven't I seen anyone compare Samus's matches against Ganon
and Sonic? Of course, there are minor problems with that (Sonic 2k5
boost, possible Samus 2k5 boost, SFF against Ganon), but still.
According to that, Ganon gets 47.47% against Sonic, which is hardly
insurmountable for the King of Evil. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

But Sonic hasn't had a match against Sephiroth. Going through direct
matches can help reduce external factors, which is why Diablo and Samus
are nice. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

Personally I don't see Ganondorf boosting that much from last year
until TP or if Nintendo releases mega information about him. Really all
we know is that he is in the game. --- "I was trying to escape. Obviously, it didn't work." - President Bush |

If I thought Sonic was at his 2k4 level, him losing to Ganon would
almost be an afterthought. Bowser beats Sonic going by that, and by
more than Snake beat him. --- Commit it to memory. |

From consolefreak Posted 9/2/2006 11:39:25 AM ^^ Good stuff. Good to see the PS2 going strong despite Nintendo increasing. Curious to see how the gamecube fares in its next poll. You do realise that "Nintendo increasing" or Sony decreasing have nothing to do with the PS2 or the Gamecube right? TuRtLe ~~~ Turtle on his laptop |

Do you have any reasoning for that? I'm curious. --- "Zelda isn't the type of game that can be a 100 on a scale of 1 to 100 -- it has to be 120." |

From Heroic Mario Posted 9/3/2006 1:24:30 AM Do you have any reasoning for that? I'm curious. Because the crocodile wants to eat the bigger meal and since Link is smaller than Cloud the crocodile wants to eat Cloud and poops out Link. ...what?

I gotta ask, since I don't think it's been brought up like this (or I
missed it if it was): I've heard people say Crono wouldn't be SFF'd by
Cloud or Sephiroth, yet will stand by Cloud and Sephiroth splittin'
votes amongst them... ...why then, why have I not heard anybody say Crono will outlast Cloud or Sephiroth? Crono ain't that far behind them, and if he doesn't get SFF'd then he very well could outlast one of them. --- Damn, most of my dates involve mocking and/or beating up people like you and your bride-to-be, so I really have no advice --Horatio |

I'm sure that'll be a great read. To think there are people out there that think Cloud can stand up to Twilight Princess. It's so cute. =p --- "Zelda isn't the type of game that can be a 100 on a scale of 1 to 100 -- it has to be 120." |

Cloud or Sephiroth? Crono ain't that far behind them, and if he doesn't
get SFF'd then he very well could outlast one of them. Well I would have said that but Crono's not getting there my friend! To be serious though, that is a really good point. |

From Karma Hunter Posted 9/2/2006 5:11:10 PM 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. It had lots of fresh and strong new blood, a wealth of close and exciting matches, arguably the most exciting contest match EVER in Mario/Crono II, the shock of KHF, and the only time we ever have and may ever will see the invincible Link defeated on his home turf. ...yeah.

Methinks you are unfamiliar with this site's turf back in 2k3 I think you're unfamiliar with what happened in 2002. To recap... http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1001 --- "Zelda isn't the type of game that can be a 100 on a scale of 1 to 100 -- it has to be 120." |

Oh man, how can Aeris > Zelda be below MM > Samus?
Shouldn't Zelda get that MAJOR TP boostage??? I don't trust your shady
rankings! --- Commit it to memory. |

I just like to remind you that Mega Man > Samus is insane. I will do
so until there is concrete evidence to go against what I think!! --- "Zelda isn't the type of game that can be a 100 on a scale of 1 to 100 -- it has to be 120." |

And before anyone brings it up, I have proof that Mega Man is really Mario in disguise. Just wait when I spring it right before that match! The fanbase will go crazy. --- Commit it to memory. |

1) What day is Aeris/Zelda supposed to be on? November 1st. 2) Could somebody elaborate on Aeris's role in KH2? Same exact role as KH basically. --- "Zelda isn't the type of game that can be a 100 on a scale of 1 to 100 -- it has to be 120." |

You know, my bracket is ****ing insane, now that I've looked at it. I'm
pretty sure I might have more BOP upsets than I've ever had before. I
freaking love it! --- Put 3 CDs, a blender, two forks, and an action figure in the microwave with your GBA SP. Turn it on defrost for ten minutes, and when the timer reads five, spray it with the hose. ~ Pyrrian |

Too lazy for the first, but Aeris' role in KH2 is just about the same
as her KH1 role, really...a little more individual prominence on the
whole, though, particularly in her interactions with Cloud and, to a
lesser extent, Squall. I'd put it firmly below Tifa's, although in order to fully grasp Tifa's role you have to beat Sephy, which is a bit of a minus... --- Commit it to memory. |

I'm curious: what's your reasoning for why Link SFF'd Mega Man more than he did Samus? Link's inability to significantly SFF Samus was a fluke (not that it needs to be), among other things! And how is that going to turn around into an SFF victory for Mega Man? Because MM is the KING OF NINTENDO SFF --- Commit it to memory. |

| If Ganon loses to Vincent I think I'm going to be forced to slaughter HM's family. The only thing I hate about having him win the whole male bracket is that if he goes down 1st round I can kiss my bracket goodbyeeeeee. |

And Sephiroth's role in KH2 is the only reason to buy the game. Sephiroth > Cloud for life, baby! --- Put 3 CDs, a blender, two forks, and an action figure in the microwave with your GBA SP. Turn it on defrost for ten minutes, and when the timer reads five, spray it with the hose. ~ Pyrrian |

I didn't hear a damn thing, because I chose to ignore you. And Sephiroth just happens to have the best fight in Kingdom Hearts. Hell, Sephiroth has the two best fights in the entire series.
