Will Lennith cover the spread tomorrow? SC2k6 Spread betting put the
line at Rikku - 48. That means Lennith only needs to break 26% I totally feel like someone reputable now. This made my gamefaqs day. I'm going to refer to myself now as SC2k6 Spread Betting from now on, forget FF05. --- Revenge is a dish best served by Z1mZum in the 2k6 Series Guru Contest. |

I've said it before, it's less about people voting anything Nintendo, and more about people genuinely disliking Kuja. 9 is the least popular FF since 5.

Spazer Division: Round 1 - Match 3 – (3)Rikku vs. (6)Lenneth Valkyrie Moltar’s Analysis Rikku Game/Series Known From: Final Fantasy X Extrapolated Rank in 2005: 28th (24.33%) Seed in 2005: 7 Lost in 2005 to Ryu in Round 1 Rikku made her Contest debut in 2005 and is back to show the females how it’s done. Lenneth Game/Series Known From: Valkyrie Profile …………………………………………….Who? So in one corner we have a Final Fantasy X female, and in the other…Lenneth. In one corner, we have a woman who was able to put up 45% on Ryu, and in the other…Lenneth. This match is just too easy. I could go and do research on how much FFX/FFX-2 has outsold Valkyrie Profile, but that’s unecessary. All you need to do is ask yourself if the casual voter will know who Lenneth is? Then ask if they would vote her over Rikku. Yeah, Rikku has this in the bag. Moltar’s Bracket Says: Rikku will win. Moltar’s Prediction is: Rikku: 80% - Lenneth: 20% Ulti’s Analysis Lenneth making a contest is cool and all, but Valkyrie Profile is far too cult for her to do any damage in this match at all. Especially not after what Rikku pulled off against Ryu last year. Valkyrie Profile making it to the PSP might make a difference of a percent or two, but that's still not much of anything noteworthy. Prediction: Rikku with 72.45% HM’s Analysis So I’m guessing that Lenneth managed to make it in because of that new PS2 RPG…Silmeria, I believe. No matter, she’s up against a Final Fantasy female who was able to put up 45% against Ryu of all characters. Rikku is definitely one of the strongest on the female side, which doesn’t really matter considering Ms. Aran heads up this division, but it’s worth noting! Lenneth may have a nice cult fanbase that will be able to keep her from being too far below other cult RPG characters, but there’s nothing to see here other than a huge blowout for Rikku. Aitch Emm’s Bracket: Rikku Aitch Emm’s Prediction: Rikku – 77% ; Lenneth Valkyrie – 23% Aitch Emm’s Vote: Rikku Yoblazer’s Analysis I don't know her, you don't know her, but her name is Lenneth Valkyrie, and she's here to stink up the joint! Tell me, Lenneth, can you score 45% on Ryu? Huh? Can you? Want to give it a shot? Oh, what's that? You say you can't? Awww... Well too bad so sad for you, toots! Get out of my sight. My prediction: Rikku def. Lenneth Valkyrie (77-23) Lopen’s Analysis From what I understand, Lenneth Valkyrie is the star of Valkyrie Profile. Valkyrie Profile is a pretty hard game to get your hands on, I can't find it anywhere! You know what, I think as research for this match, I should play this game… let's go to eBay! *walk walk walk* Okay, we're here at eBay! Let's find "Valkyrie Profile". *finds results* Oh, alright! The games are only selling for $30 or $40! Excellent! Whoa whoa… that's the PSP game? Yeah right, like anyone owns that. I want the PS game! Ah, here we go: http://cgi.ebay.com/Valkyrie-Profile-Playstation_W0QQitemZ120027041798QQihZ002QQcategoryZ62053QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem EGADS! $102.50 plus S&H! And it's still going! Stay tuned to see how much it finished for! Okay, this was a roundabout way of saying "Valkyrie Profile is cult". Sorry, I wanted more than a four word analysis… I know you did too. Expect a Luca Blight-esque (who is also star of an eBay ripoff special!) performance from Lenneth. Lopen's Prediction: Rikku with 76.94% |

KH’s Analysis lol x-stats history Rikku Summer 2005 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 30th Place [24.33%] Next up is Rikku. And hey, this year I actually know something about her, thanks to my recent playthrough of FFX. Yeah, Rikku's cool, though if you're not using items or stealing she's basically useless early on. Good personality too, though she could stand to act more realistic. Though this is a problem with every character in X, not just -- oh, wait! Contest match, yeah...well, Rikku did a helluva job in her first time out, getting 44% on Ryu -- for comparison, Dante got 46% in 2k3. Even on a weaker Ryu, that's great. But she could have only got 20% on Ryu and still have this first match in the bag. For her opponent is... Lenneth Valkyrie lol N/A My pick for the weakest character of the contest here, ladies and gentlemen. No, the PSP remake will do squat. No one knows who she is, no one will confuse her with anyone except maybe the Valkyrie from Gauntlet Legends (who, by the way, I would take to beat Lenneth in a match). And no, I don't know anything about her, so nyah. =p Notable Releases Since Last Appearance Rikku: Kingdom Hearts 2 (PS2) Lenneth Valkyrie: Valkyrie Profile (PS), Valkyrie Profile (PSP) Upcoming Releases Rikku: N/A Lenneth Valkyrie: Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria (PS2)? Yeah, the only thing hard about this match is gauging how fodderific Lenneth will be, and then putting it up against Rikku. Um...geez. I dunno, Rikku seems to get some hate, which might stop her a bit, but on the flip side...well, it should be well above what Samus got on Nidoran F. Karma Hunter's Vote: Rikku. See Ada/Jade. Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Rikku with 86.34%. This *looks* crazy, but if Ada can get 75% on Jade... Upset Potential: 0% Wow, I have no respect for Lenneth, it seems. Come get me, fanboys. Guest’s Analysis - Redtooth This is my first (and hopefully not final) foray into the world of B8 contest analysis. For this initiation of sorts, my match to predict is pretty easy. That also means kind of dry, but that’s probably more my fault anyways =P. So on one side, we have Rikku, who jumped into the last contest and really impressed. On the other, we have a complete unknown, Lenneth Valkyrie. As with most of the matches in the female sections, percentages and even results are bound to fluctuate enormously. Rikku so far has only had one match, against Ryu. Putting up high percentages there shows the potential that Rikku has. Although x-stats are seemingly laughed it, she’d still place higher then Yuna according to them. Seeing the competition, this puts Rikku at the top of the field. She’d be able to put up good numbers against pretty much any girl in the contest. We won’t really know until we see how she does against Samus though. It could show the fight with Ryu was a fluke or her actual power. Then we see Lenneth Valkyrie. Her first contest appearance placed into a very unsure match. Not of the result, but of the percentage. A quick look through the Oracle shows a spread from 59.23% to 88.39% as to predictions, most falling between 63% and 80%. Now, regardless of how strong Rikku happens to be, which is still unsure, no one really knows how strong LV might be. The difficulty of getting a copy and a non-casual game might put her below the fodder line? Maybe the fact that she looks cool, is cult and a cool character might throw her into a respectable level? |
| Master Moltar | Posted 9/13/2006 8:16:11 PM | message detail |
| Regardless the match is completely without debate,
with no one I’ve seen yet to side with Lenneth. The whole match is
frustrating too, as it’ll be hard to understand for a long while.
Barring an upset and a 90/10 match, it seems this early fight won’t be
giving much input for either character. And who am I kidding anyways, 90% of voters will probably: vote Rikku because they get excited by her looks or vote Lenneth because she looks cool and has a sword. Since you can logically follow that kids play game, gamefaqs is about games, so perverts and murderers flock gamefaqs for the innocent kids, and inadvertently vote. And everyone knows there are more perverts on the internet then murderers. Thus Rikku wins easy. The only swing votes are those perverted murderers, who’ll probably vote green this year anyways. Prediction: Rikku with 62.00% Summary: Crew predicting Lenneth will be crushed by Rikku. Guest says Lenneth does too well. Hmm.... |

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. I don't understand how you can believe that and still take Rikku > Claire with confidence. --- Explicit Content Philadelphia's Path to Cheer Up Emo Kids (1-0) - Next week vs. New York Giants. |
