I went with Ganondorf for one reason: My gut. Too often I try to make a
really logical pick, you can tell from my brackets that they're pretty
cookie cutter. Hell, even this year I only have 1 pick going against
the Guru consensus (Cortana). --- CB06 - Score: 6/6 Rank: Tied - 1st Yesterday's Pick: Tifa Today's Pick: The Boss Tomorrow's Pick: Jill Valentine |

Honestly, I think this ends up like Tidus vs. Shadow where they have
the close match everyone expects them to, and then the winner faces

54% on Dante when Dante had most of the bracket support isn't something to pass off, I think. but then, why would that change? I don't think Vincent will have bracket support vs. Ganondorf. I'd expect Ganon with at least 60% of the brackets. I look at Ganondorf this way: 51% on Tidus to 54% on Auron. who do you think's stronger, Tidus or Auron? I say Auron every time, yet he beat him by more than he beat Tidus. he may not be at 36% on BL or whatever it is, but he's not overrated to hell and back either. I'd place him above where I'd place Vincent. debatable? absolutely, but my faith is in the Nintendo character here. --- iddqd "MY SLEEPING PATTERNS ARE SHOT THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR FANFICTION" -windmage |

Woo! Go Boss ^_^ So, if we take Celes to be a % weaker than Terra, where does that put The Boss? I suck at the maths involved here, but doesn't this mean she avoids a Dante Doubling? --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz Hi-ho, Hi-ho, Z1m Zum, Z1m Zum...our guru champ. |

I feel so stupid for picking Celes right now, at least Claire put up a fight against Kairi.... BTW did Aerith have a big role in KH2? I just realized that my whole bracket depends on her winning over Zelda (And Sonic winning the male side of course) --- Supporter of Daisy. |

Basically, Ganondorf being favored against Vincent is based off of
warped stats from when everyone thought Magus 2003 was legit, and a
villain's contest in which Sephiroth was anti-voted to hell and back in
the last two rounds. I'd say it's more based off of Samus SFFing Ganon (yes, it did happen) and Samus being potentially underrated in 2k5. Why would she be the only Nintendo character not to boost? Also, today's match looks nice for Ganon, considering all the Boss = Big Boss and Celes = Terra comparisons that were going on earlier. 54% on Dante when Dante had most of the bracket support isn't something to pass off, I think. Bracket-voting is virtually irrelevant when people care about both characters and the match is not SFF. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

I need some stats expert to figure this out for me >_> I'm trying to figure out where Celes falls if she's slightly weaker than Terra: Terra: 17.10% Conker: 17.05% Zidane: 17.02% Jin Kazama: 16.83% Let's say slightly stronger than Jin. But now I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA where to plug The Boss in presuming she ends up on...let's say, 58%. ... ... ... *feels stupid* --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz Hi-ho, Hi-ho, Z1m Zum, Z1m Zum...our guru champ. |

all. TuRtLe ~~~ I used my brain and statistics to make my bracket. Karma Hunter used MGS fanboyism. KH won. Commit it to memory. |

Hey Turtle, I'd just like to point out that when you were whining about
how Axem's going to fall off the leaderboard, that you had Carmen Sandiego
winning the whole thing with that account. Somehow, you should have
seen the fall off the leaderboard there just a mite bit sooner. --- He wields the blade of a fallen hero, but now he is the hero, and it is the others who fall. He is rising. |

I was just looking at the bracket to see how long I would remain perfect, and I stumped upon Riku-Yoshi. Does anyone else get the feeling that this match is being totally overlooked? The BoP favours Yoshi 83 to 7. This is the Riku that went nearly equal with Frog. You can call Frog overrated all you want, but you have to give him an Xs (base Link) of at least 24. Yoshi has just a tad more than that. How much could he have been SFF'd by Mega Man, being the huge fan favourite that he is? Sure he beat Luigi, but this is exactly where the fan favourite thing comes in. Yoshi got less on Laharl than Tifa did on Vyse. Extrapolating their performances based on Vyse beating Laharl with 60% the year prior, Tifa beats Yoshi with 66.89%, even worse than she does just taking Yoshi Xs based on Mega Man. Based on these statistics, Riku would have a great match with Yoshi as it is, actually being the favourite. Now I have no doubt that Yoshi would've beaten Riku last year, but KH2 will account for a lot. Add to this the fact that Riku will be the bracket favourite (3 seed + KH) and he has a lot of things going in his favour. If anything, I can't believe I went over this match without questioning the winner. If I had the chance, I'd actually change my bracket now.. --- CB: 5/5. Today: The Boss vs. Celes.

I doubt Riku would gain that much Why is that? and I'd rather put Yoshi closer to 29-30% on BL. Tifa failing to break 56% on Yoshi just doesn't fall in line with their performances on Vyse/Laharl though. Or on Sonic/MM, for that matter. --- CB: 5/5. Today: The Boss vs. Celes.

Well, if you honestly expect Riku to gain that much, you may as well consider Sora/MM a toss-up. Tifa failing to break 56% on Yoshi just doesn't fall in line with their performances on Vyse/Laharl though. Looking at Yoshi's past matches before 2005, I think it's more Vyse related than anything. Yoshi can't just drop like a rock when he was already considered to be ar ound 27-28%. --- The Boss vs. Celes Chere / Bracket: The Boss / Vote: The Boss (4/5) Tomorrow / Bracket: Jill / Vote: Jill |

Well, if you honestly expect Riku to gain that much, you may as well consider Sora/MM a toss-up. Funny is that I was thinking about this just a minute ago, and told myself I was overreacting. MM > Yoshi more than Sora > Riku though, easily. And I am expecting Sora to approach 45%, I wouldn't be too surprised if he broke it. Looking at Yoshi's past matches before 2005, I think it's more Vyse related than anything. Yoshi can't just drop like a rock when he was already considered to be ar ound 27-28%. The thing is that his performance with MM nearly perfectly falls in line with this. Although it is weird to see Yoshi dropping. Sad thing is there has never been an accurate reading for Yoshi. Losing to MM is actually the most accurate loss I can think of (certainly less SFF than losing to Bowser or Link). Bottom line is, I think Riku's chances are being underestimated here. Should he be considered the favourite? Perhaps not. But don't write him off. --- CB: 5/5. Today: The Boss vs. Celes. Tomorrow: Jill vs. Sheena |

So what does this make of the likes of Conker? Ryo Hazuki? We can at
least say that his performance on Conker puts him well above Riku to at
least win edge him out even if he got a crazy boost and bracket support. --- The Boss vs. Celes Chere / Bracket: The Boss / Vote: The Boss (4/5) Tomorrow / Bracket: Jill / Vote: Jill |

Though now that I think about it, if Samus boosted (from her 2k4) level
a bit, then KH2, and then the bracket support, I think he can give us a
scare. --- The Boss vs. Celes Chere / Bracket: The Boss / Vote: The Boss (4/5) Tomorrow / Bracket: Jill / Vote: Jill |

wonder even more about Terra/Kerrigan, though. Is FFVI really that bad?

The Boss getting the morning vote. Alright... At this point, I'm thinking Terra > Celes, but not by much. Still thinking about where The Boss goes in relation to Ocelot. I'll probably go with equal to or slightly above. Kerrigan is just weak though. I'll be shocked if she looks much better against Terra than her match against Vincent indicates (as in makes it a close match). --- Moltar Status: Feeling good and hot-blooded.

I'm guessing the Boss gets 30% on Tifa. And the picks I'm most worried about are Yoshi > Dante and Samus > Crono. I normally wouldn't worry about Samus... but Corruption was delayed, and my record on final matches is 0-5 not counting Villians...
