From Axem Turtle Posted 9/15/2006 11:26:46 PM #300 361 got deleted, probably because of Smurf strongly hinting that he stuffed for Claire. He was axed, along with the Viper Vixen accounts. He wouldn't have gotten axed unless he was actually cheating. Ceej set that precedent awhile ago. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever."

I just want to repost this for hilarity: _SmurfX_ Posted 9/14/2006 8:57:08 AM message detail I'm fully confident that Claire will score over 60% on Kairi. I'd be shocked if Kairi was anything else other than fodder. The lack of respect that Claire and Jill have got in this contest is baffling. I mean, the favourites are untested characters like Kairi and Peach. wtf? --- Caution ladies and gentlemen. We are now entering a Smurf topic.

I'm glad his ass finally got caught, because there is NO WAY he wasn't
doing the same during Magus/Knux and Sonic/MM. ~*ST*~ Well he must not be very good at it then because i know smurf gives sonic the worst name possible and if he had his way, sonic would have whooped MM. That never happened. --- Oil fan til the death. |

You don't think that this half of the bracket is "Best Female" has

Well he must not be very good at it then because i know smurf gives
sonic the worst name possible and if he had his way, sonic would have
whooped MM. That never happened. Actually, without Smurf MM would've destroyed Sonic by several thousand more votes. A weaker Sonic makes Luigi's increase much more reasonable, and it shrinks that mysterious leap Sonic 2k5 had over Sonic 2k4. Now that Smurf is gone, things are looking good for Ganon > Sonic! --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

Anyway, what my point is is that one would hope Ivy could take Nidoran
F...yet, if Tifa/Ivy stay like they are right now, that this would make
Tifa closer to Samus this year than she was to Sonic last year. Part
can be explained by KH2, part can be explained by FF:AC... ...but, for me, I'll just take it as Nidoran actually being able to beat Ivy. Still though, I for one wouldn't have thought this pre-contest since I cannot see Tifa beating Samus. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest.

All I see is "Character Battle V" and I vote according to either my
preference in character or my bracket, depending on if I know them or
not. I would think most people would vote one of those two ways as well. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

I find it hilarious that Nidoran F could give half the females in this bracket a run for their money. She should've went up against Jade. I doubt many people would've picked Nidoran F in that case. Nidoran F/Ivy would probably be the Knuckles/Magus of the contest. --- Hispanics 5 | Whites 5 Asians 5 | Blacks 4 |

If you're going from a statistical PoV, I'd take Ivy easily. Nidoran
got ALOT of strength from the LUE/Board 8 fad, plus those few diehard

She should've went up against Jade. I doubt many people would've picked Nidoran F in that case. I probably would have. I mean, I'm a fan of BG&E but there's absolutely no denying that the game is extremely cult, especially on gamefaqs. I think last contest already proved that pokemon hate has largely died down, so it strangely enough isn't unconceivable for a random pokemon to be around the fodder line or just a bit below it. --- When D...

Was the moddable violation in the opening post for the 361 topics? And how many posts did we lose? Good to see Tifa doing well here. I was a concerned about her disappointing, but she should easily finish with the tripling. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Meh, I predicted Nidoran F to get 11% on Samus factoring in SFF, and
I'm not convinced Jade could stay above that. Jade/Nidoran F would be
the next Kuja/Master Hand (which I picked right), only a far easier win
for Nidoran F. --- Commit it to memory. |

Where would you guys peg Tifa now with AC and especially KH2 (which she
had a decently prominent appearance in, and was her *first* KH, like
Auron's)? I ask this to sort of gauge Ivy's strength... Um...I want to say she gets 47-48% on Sonic now, but that's pulling her nearly even with Snake... --- Commit it to memory. |

Remember creativename's rule about how we should go with the logic of whoever's analysis was the closest? Robotnik vs Sin from 2005 CLEARLY tells us how this here match will go!! Sonic > Auron Knuckles > Tidus Shadow > Yuna With all that in mind, Robotnik being > Sin should have been an obvious conclusion that we all should have seen coming from day one! And obviously the entire Sonic series would have whipped FFX's ass in a poll if such a thing were even possible. See where I'm going with this? No? Well screw you, then. But because I'm nice, we'll look at an equally credible analysis of Resident Evil versus Kingdom Hearts! Sora > Leon Kennedy Riku > Jill Valentine Ansem > Wesker Kingdom Hearts > Resident Evil (you have to factor in "MGS tanks against anything with real strength" SFF in those stats) Clearly, Kairi > Claire is the only logical conclusion that can come of this! \m/ Though if you want something a bit more serious, I went and surfed the net a bunch during some random day of boredom. The KH fanbase cares for Kairi about as much as the RE fanbase cares for Claire. That said, close matches like this are generally about whichever fanbase is more rabid. I give a SLIGHT edge to Kingdom Hearts there, solely because my inbox hasn't been the same since I got that KH2 bestiary posted on GameFAQs. RE4 is popular as hell in its own right, but I doubt any of its in-depths scored 100k hits in ~6 months. And yeah yeah FAQ hits are meaningless with contest matches, but it's either make a joke analysis or post something like "I think Kairi wins on gut instinct". Prediction: Kairi with 51.24% I bolded the part that was actually serious, though I'm starting to wonder if looking at matches with that little tier system of mine is a decent idea. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best.
