Jill Valentine would already, like, double Ness. You're vastly underestimating Ness. Not that I agree that Sheena will come close to Jill (she won't), but Ness isn't fodder. --- Character Battle V Score - 0/0 points Current Prediction - Samus Aran vs. Nidoran F |

Kratos is approximately Ness' strength. What. Jill Valentine would already, like, double Ness. Not happening. No. I'm not falling for this again! --- “Back in my day we used to actually play our videogames instead of watching them.” - Vivi0198 |

Jesus christ...whoever this is is seriously stupid. Whoever beats Crono will also beat Megaman. Not necessarily. Mega Man was #2 last time (among people in the male bracket this year). All it takes is Crono dropping a little without Mega Man dropping for him to win. Of course, MM > Sonic > Crono is a hell of a lot more likely than MM > Vincent > Crono, but still. --- CATS's Road to the Character Battle V Championship Round 1: Sonic |

If you can see one Knuckles/Magus-style "OMGWTF NOBODY SAW THIS COMING" upset this year, what will it be? Um, um...Riku over Yoshi? Maybe Yoshi is now below Luigi, Samus was more popular than anyone was giveng her credit for, and Riku boosted more from KH2 than anyone would've considered. Heh. Keep in mind the two biggest upsets of R1 last year were x-stats blunders. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?"

200,000 was how much Dirge of Cerberus sold for August, which isn't that impressive, but it's above the 150,000 I was expecting. --- "Zelda isn't the type of game that can be a 100 on a scale of 1 to 100 -- it has to be 120." |

So, does anyone think 200k is enough to give Vincent any kind of boost? Well, that's a small fraction of the sales FFX-2 or DMC2 got, and those were much better games, so expect Vincent to get a proportionately smaller boost than Yuna or Dante got from those games. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

For what it's worth, I think DoC was released much closer to
contest-time than FFX-2 or DMC2...I'm not 100% on that, but it could be
worth something. Also, DoC could do more for Vincent
character-prominence-wise than FFX-2 or DMC2 did for Yuna or Dante. That said, yeah, I still expect his boost to be smaller than theirs compared to his unadjusted value, and I don't know what to think compared to where he's at if he's over-rated last year. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest.

That goes along nicely with the write-up I have planned for why PoP will take the four-pack. Damn straight! Also the "Zero will double Luigi" argument is quite possibly the single worst I've ever seen. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Angsty Mermaids. |

Crono worries me if for nothing more than he's beaten Mario and Mario
crushed Samus. You can't help but feel irksome if you need to start
evaluating SFF to call matches, because you're just about automatically
heading into guess filled territory. --- Revenge is a dish best served by Z1mZum in the 2k6 Series Guru Contest. |

Meh... I just can't forget the way Samus crushed Sonic in 2k4. Seeing
how close Sonic, Mega Man, and Crono were last year, I just can't see
Samus not being the favorite against any of them. People would be just
hoping that she gets SFF'd by someone else. Mario opened a wound and
everyone is trying to draw blood from her now for some reason... --- Vote for Carmen Sandiego in SC2k6 Currently playing: NOTHING! lol real-world work |

for upsets that NOONE would see soming, i would say Riku over Yoshi and
Dante, Kairi over Rikku and Sora over Snake. all that Kingdom Hearts 2
boosting nonsense that keeps these three possibilites barely in the
realm of possibilities but so unlikely that no regulars here are taking
any of those upsets. --- i have officially been Z1mZum'D in the guru contest. Vincent Valentine to win the Blast Division!! |

No, that wasn't my sig. But it's true that I won't vote for her. At

favorite character ever probably. >_> --- caps |

No one seems to be giving Chun-Li/Yuna any discussion... it's not like
Yuna is leagues ahead of her either. Not that I think Chunners will win
(y halo thar Samus), but I thought a lot more people would be on that
bandwagon. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Angsty Mermaids. |

interesting. --- “Back in my day we used to actually play our videogames instead of watching them.” - Vivi0198 |

Hmm... anyone remember how Yuna had some very odd spikes during her
match with Ganondorf? Several people thought it might have been someone
(ie, George Romero) field testing a cheating method in a match that
wasn't in doubt. She might be a bit overrated due to that. Still, I
don't think it's enough to put Chun-Li over Yuna. --- That... was her final mission. And like a true soldier, she saw it through to the end. ZSB [aX] |
