Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 362

Phediuk | Posted 9/15/2006 5:14:08 PM | message detail
Wow, I'm a lot less into this contests than previous ones. In the past, I've been right into it, following every poll as much as I can, etc...

But this year, I just don't care that much. :(

That's because this contest will be 16 matches of paint drying, then the rest of the contest will kick ass.

What are the predicted percentages for Zelda vs. Aeris?
---
Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances.
trannyscience | Posted 9/15/2006 5:34:20 PM | message detail
wait-and-see on Zelda vs. Aeris. it'll be tough to get a good read on Aeris though. we can at least see how Zelda is when she goes against Terra.

It doesn't necesarily mean she'll win because of that.

Zelda damn well better pull it of.


Then again, any dream chance I had of Zelda > Samus with TP, even as unlikely as it seemed, when up in smokes already...

...But everything else is going to not be so friendly. If Cloud beats Link and Aeris beats Zelda and Vincent beats Ganon things will not be pleasant around here. >>

If Cloud beats Link, I'll be happy. Just to see that the beast isn't completely invincible. Although I prefer Link to Cloud on a personal level.

No kidding. Jin Kazama is protected to get 27% on Tifa. I don't know about you guys, but I'd take a good chunk of the SC cast to beat Jin head to head. Ulti I think will come the closest.

Probably a combination of lack of faith in SC after the series contest plus Ivy not being the best rep for SC...but Tifa should be significantly stronger this year, too. Remember, KH2?

I still wish I could lower it after I saw the match pic. I mean, I think I can see nipple! >_<

trannyscience | Posted 9/15/2006 6:39:57 PM | message detail
I look at this match as being similar to Sonic/Jin. I think Ivy gets 22-25% just from being in a popular fighting game + being Not Tifa.
