Ganon somehow manages to break 55% on Vincent. Favorite against Sonic?

Yes, but there's no way Auron is stronger than Vincent!

Not sure if it has been mentioned yet, but this is a pretty historic day in contest history. Zelda is the first non-Noble 9 character to ever break 85%.

Hey, remember when Resident Evil scored a huge blowout on Shadow Hearts and didn't get obliterated by Final Fantasy?

...Wait.

Right now, based on a constant Zelda, Carmen Sandiego ends up at 8.7% on 2k5 Link. That would have Yuri projected to beat her with 55.10%.

If you increase Zelda by one percent from last year, Carmen Sandiego goes up to 9% on 2k5 Link. That would have Yuri projected to win with 53.56%

If you increase Zelda by two percent from last year, Carmen would be at about 9.5%. That would have Yuri projected to win with 50.98%.

No matter what you do, Carmen is going to end up very, very weak. I would imagine it has a bit to due with her own obscurity, some Zelda increase from last year, and that whole Pac-Man Syndrome business.

If Aeris got 90+% on Marle she would win the whole main bracket without question. :p

Aeris will beat Zelda, anyway! Look at how impressive Tifa was! >.>

Also, it's a shame Marle has Aeris round 1, given the right place in the bracket, she could have won a round or two. =(

Also, no spoilers, but how much did Aeris show up in Kingdom Hearts 2? I haven't had a chance to play it, but with enough screen time, it could be enough to to get a nice boost to put her past Zelda. >_>

I'll never understand how Aeris and co. have "insignificant roles" in the KH games. It's like you expect them to suddenly plot twist and become the main villain. It's a larger role than Tidus or Selphie ever had.

Not like it matters, Zelda will still steamroll Aeris.

Aeris has a insignificant role in KH1, but that didn't stop her from doubling Sora and made most of us to believe that Jill VS Ryu H was a 3 points match.

You're wrong. But I hate defending characters that suck as much as Aeris, so let's pretend you're right.

People need a FAQ for everything. They'll come here looking for how you make Link move.

And Twilight Princess is just icing on the cake! Link's victory is assured, delay or no delay!

In SSBM, Zelda > Samus > Ganon in terms of favoritism, I bet. It probably applies to the whole series as well (yes, all two games).

No, in SSBM, Sheik > Samus > Ganon > Zelda. And yes, I have seen people ask "Why does Zelda turn into sheik?"

It would make me worry, but depending on how Yoshi does on Riku, I would still have faith in him. I highly doubt he'll outperform Zero though, because Zero, despite his one (SFFish (?)) match with Mario, is going to reassert his absolute dominance.

And I think we need to get Carmen a higher seed in 2k7 so we can get an accurate read on her.


No, I think we've got a pretty accurate reading - she sucks.

I think I'd call Dante the favorite against Yoshi, but I'd still side with Zero against Luigi.
