THEJackSparrow | Posted 9/13/2006 3:04:19 PM | message detail
She has declined plenty since then

I'm not denying she's declined since then. If she hadn't, her match with Rikku would be more of a toss-up than everyone expects.

But I just don't think she's declined to the point where she loses to Kairi.

It's not as though there are any hard facts that people don't care about Kairi, you know. I personally don't care for either one in this match, but it helps that Kairi has done something in, oh, the past five years.

Nemesis pulled off the whole look somewhat impressive despite being an RE character who hasn't shown up in 5 years thing pretty well. Don't see why Claire couldn't, especially considering she's the main character of her (more popular) game, and isn't a monster devoid of personality. <_<. I doubt she'd have to be much stronger than Nemesis (if stronger at all) to beat Kairi, anyway.

Kairi's going to win though. Not that it matters because neither of them are worth anything!

Both of them will finish above the fodder line! Kairi/Claire is going to be close, everyone'll be like "LOL Rikku doubles Claire!", and then Claire gets 45% on Rikku. ;)

I'm not going to touch Nidoran F vs. Kuja. -_-

Nidoran F vs. Kuja would be...wow. Hand would beat them both though.

And I see Ada's climbing back up to 76%. I'm impressed, it's rare we see fodder destory fellow fodder like this. I can't wait to see what Rikku (non-fodder) does to Lenneth (huge fodder).

Oh, and Claire > Kairi and such. Gotta throw that in.

I think it will fall just short. Still, 95,000 or so isn't bad at all for a match between a female who has never had a leading role and fodder of the worst sort.

On a totally unrealted and statistically relevant note...

Will Lennith cover the spread tomorrow? SC2k6 Spread betting put the line at Rikku - 48. That means Lennith only needs to break 26%.

Will Lennith break 26%? I think she will, for a number of reasons. Mainly FF hate, the PSP game, and the fact that 26% is not very hard to break.

Mainly FF hate, the PSP game, and the fact that 26% is not very hard to break.

FF is still one of the top two series here, GTA:LCS was PSP GotY last year and yet it coupled with all of its infinitely more popular GTA games end up making the GTA series look like nothing more than midcard-status, and 26% is too hard to break depending on your opponent...Jade's not doing it today, and she's against Ada. I have no doubt in my mind Rikku would beat Ada, and I doubt it'd ever be close. Not that I'm saying Lenneth is on Jade's level -- though I don't know the girl -- but considering how weak she'll likely be and perhaps some SFF, it seems quite possible to me.

I think Valkyrie would thrash Jade, though...well, like 60/40. Magus didn't SFF Luca Blight...well, maybe slightly.

Yeah, Magus barely SFF'd Luca if any at all...and CT is bigger than FFX/-2, though I dunno where to go with comparing Suikoden and Valkyrie Profile (is that the name?). Add to it the new PSP game (which should barely do anything, but it can't hurt, surely to goodness), and I guess SFF just isn't likely to be seen.

i'm not so sure that Rikku is drastically stronger than Ada. i would definitely take Rikku over Ada, but keep in mind that Rikku is ranked a little below Leon in last year's x-stats. so, if Ada is anywhere near Leon, she may not be THAT far below Rikku. AND i would definitely take Lenneth over Jade, so i am expecting a result very similar to today's match.

Match III: (3) Rikku vs. (6) Lenneth Valkyrie

Contest History

Rikku

Summer 2005
Lost to Ryu, 44.28% - 55.72%
Ranked: 28th

Lenneth Valkyrie

No Previous Contest Matches

Analysis:

Rikku is from Final Fantasy X and X-2. When she was up against Ryu last year many expected her to crash and burn, but she held up though it was against a weaker Ryu. Despite losing to a weaker Ryu she ended up ahead of Yuna in the x-stats. Lenneth is from Valkyrie Profile and the main reason why she got in was because of a new game on the PSP that has been released.

Third match, third easy prediction. Valkyrie Profile is a really good game, to the people that heard of it, which on GameFAQs isn’t that many and unlike Ada/Jade Rikku has proved that she is no fodder. The new PSP game may help Lenneth, but that will be for from enough to take down Rikku.

I think Rikku should have no problem tripling Lenneth and may even push for a quadrupling. The recent PSP game will help her from looking like a total fool.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Rikku over Lenneth Valkyrie

charmander6000’s Prediction: Rikku wins, 77.27% - 22.73%

so, if Ada is anywhere near Leon

That's not going to be happening. He's in every game she's in, and he's a main character in both. Everything she does, he does more of and does it better.

Come to think of it, Leon/Ada is surefire large SFF... <_<
