I never said rSFF, though it's a possibility. I was thinking along the same lines as you, with Bowser coincidentally overperforming on both Sephiroth in the VC and Snake in CB4. There's just something really fishy about those matches. You never mentioned rSFF, and I was never talking to you. --- Explicit Content Philadelphia's Path to Cheer Up Emo Kids (1-0) - Next week vs. New York Giants. |

My bad. At any rate, there only needs to be a little Mario/Zero SFF and a little Kirby overratednes to make that match very close. Whoever wins won't break 52% TuRtLe ~~~ Turtle on his laptop |

So... Link can SFF Mega Man, but Mario can't? That doesn't make much sense to me... Mario would likely SFF Mega Man, too. Mega Man couldn't SFF Zero though, and I wonder how much -- if any -- Link could SFF Zero. Again, Zero was falling a bit shy of expectations before his loss to Mario already (though you can give some credit of that to Hayabusa getting his ninja pic, but there's no excuse for Lloyd based off of Wesker), and the fact that Mega Man couldn't SFF Zero makes me a bit more skeptical that Mario could. AGAIN, I stress he could, but based on everything I just said, I don't think Mario SFF'd Zero. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest.

you to do the same. I'm with EC on this one. When Claire starts to trounce, I'll be doing some gloating. If the opposite manages to happen, I'll take what happens like I should. --- Married to PepsiPlunge June 01, 2005: HERO'S PLUNGE! (Metal Gear Solid 2) |

Though Mario/Zero SFF makes a little sense, I still wonder why Mega Man can't and Mario can. In the X series, there is a stigma from Zero's first appearance that makes him more appealing than X. Hell, Zero's first conversation in the game basically went "Don't worry X! Your power is still growing! You might even get as strong as me! His character design and general aura of superiority make a good amount of Zero fans like him better than Mega Man himself. He doesn't hold that same edge over Mario... --- Vote for Carmen Sandiego in SC2k6 Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness |

What mnm said. I can definitely see how the fanbase would be split between X and Zero. The argument you stated kind of implies that because Samus can't SFF Ganondorf, that Link shouldn't be able to get noticeable SFF against her. TuRtLe ~~~ Turtle on his laptop |

And I'm still not a fan of trying to base Zero off of Wesker. There are
all sorts of screwy stuff with trying to take the Villains contest
stats at face value. Plus, it's not like a Magus situation where we had
little contest data and were pretty much basing strength off of one
match. We've had plenty of data on Zero. I just don't see him going
from near-elite level to being on Knuckles-type level. No disrespect to
Knux of course, but put Zero in Knuckles place in these contests and
Snake sweats a hell of a lot more than he's had to so far. --- Vote for Carmen Sandiego in SC2k6 Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness |

there's only a certain point you should go to (Vincent/Kerrigan was
just disgusting, any Kerrigan supporter was literally castrated around
here), but it's all in fun. It just comes with it being contest season. That's because they were castrating us before the match. We just returned the favor afterwards. Seriously though, I agree -- it should be in good fun, always, and usually the loser should be prepared to take his fair share of **** if he loses and made a big deal about it before the result. If they can't handle very much of it yet dished alot out, well...may be mean, but I wouldn't be opposed to seeing some minor harrassment just to shut them up next time. That's a positive of keeping your ass humble, for those who talk big. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

general is immature, but doing it for an internet contest is just... no. Eh, I see no problem joking around and rubbing it in the faces of people you're cool with, it's all in good fun, it's not as though I actually view myself as superior to anyone, (well I do when it comes to taking stats, but very, very few, and I think you all know who those people are), it's all in good fun. I mean it's not like everyone doesn't give HM hell every time one of his crazy shenanigans blows up in his face, it just adds to contest fun for me, whether I'm dishing it out, or receiving it. --- Explicit Content Philadelphia's Path to Cheer Up Emo Kids (1-0) - Next week vs. New York Giants. |

Vincent/Kerrigan was a special case though. You rarely see that much
debate over such a blowout. There was just no way I could see Kerrigan
even making a match out of that. Usually I acknowledge the other side
as there are always valid points. But there was just no way for that in

A) I think Knuckles is over-rated a touch anyway, thanks to Crono/Vincent, but let's not get into that... B) ...but we can get into the fact that Knuckles 2k5 ain't the same Knuckles Solid faced three times. I'd take Zero > Knuckles, yes, but I don't see what's so wrong with them being fairly comparable now (or at least last year). --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest.

So, after all this discussion, we've reached the conclusion that.... Kirby/Zero is a 50/50 match? At least this talk makes me much more confident in Zero > Luigi (seemed obvious to me, not sure why people took Luigi in that one) TuRtLe ~~~ Turtle on his laptop |

What's the harm in gloating every once in a while? In a heated match
that could go either way, there's going to be a right side and a wrong
side. If you're adamant enough to support a side, you should get to
reap what you've sown, whether that be good or bad. It adds to the fun of the contest for me, especially since I usually only make one big stand per contest. RE/SF was last contest, Claire/Kairi is this contest. It's all in good fun. ^_^ --- Married to PepsiPlunge June 01, 2005: HERO'S PLUNGE! (Metal Gear Solid 2) |

And when I say I'll be gloating after Claire/Kairi, it's only going to
be so if Claire manages to completely blow her out (which I'm

So Zero went from 33.96% to 32.09% on BL, and Hayabusa and Lloyd both
point to Zero underperforming just a little bit. Zero-2k5 beats
Vercetti-2k5 worse than how their match went in 2k4, too, so that says
a little something as well... ...where's the problem at? --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |
