*quietly thinks about telling them to shut the **** up* =P Carmen's going to loow rather pathetic in the stats...but at least Zelda will probably be a lil' stronger this year and there's no doubt in my mind Carmen can still beat most of the fodder she's nearby just on recognizability alone. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest.

Between Zelda killing Carmen a good deal worse than Samus did to
Nidoran F, Tifa getting a higher individual-total against arguably a
tougher opponent than Samus had as well as a much higher match-total
than her (and Zelda may be looking to say the same soon...though in
Samus's defense, her match was Ninty/Ninty), and the expected winner
poll just before the contest where Samus didn't even have as many
people vote to say she would win as there were Sephiroth-by-a-landslide
votes last year, then seeing and knowing that LoZ, SSB, and FF are far
bigger franchises here than Metroid... ...I am NOT calling for the upset, but Samus could get a scare sooner than we expect. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

Tifa, for whatever reason is an expert at overperforming aganist weaker characters. She was predicted to be near to Clinkeroth through Vyse, didn't help her when Sonic came to town. As for Samus. Joke opponent. Remember when Duke Nukem got that Milk pic? He pulled nearly 20 freakin percent off Cloud. The voters are suckers for joke votes. So why is Carmen not getting the same level of joke votes? Because she's not as well known. She's an edutainment character who a lot of people would not have heard of, and as such wouldn't appreciate the joke. --- My World is still Smurf! |

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%. Incidentally, the most dominant performance
(percentage-wise) before this match for non-Noble 9ers was Ganondorf's
84.98% walloping of Giygas. Also, Sonic the Hedgehog is the only Noble
9 member to have never scored 85%. --- The Little Mermaid 2-Disc Platinum Edition DVD Coming October 3, 2006 |

I wouldn't look too much into these type of statistics though (I'm looking at you, Heroic Mario) They're just interesting to note and look at. One of the primary reasons I thought Zelda might win the Series Contest was because it was following Link's pattern in 2004 exactly -- 80% on three opponents plus 100,000+ in each match. It isn't really any type of determining factor, but they're interesting to look at what happens when we see these type of dominative performances from Zelda-related entries. The Legend of Zelda was the first contestant to ever break 100,000 votes and Zelda may be the first character to ever break 100,000 votes. That's pretty good stuff. --- ...a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows. She comes dressed for war, and her wrath is terrible. |

Also, since the after-school vote is about to come up forty minutes
from now...Zelda should make a killing with it, even compared to what
she's doing now. The people that will be getting out of their schools
will mostly be no older than 18, meaning they were born in 1988 or
later. Wiki says the shows aired until 1998, so no of them have seen
the show since then unless I missed something or if they got it
recorded or some **** like that, heh...but what I'm saying is that even
the oldest of those coming from the after-school vote haven't seen the
show in eight years and haven't seen it since they were ten years old,
and that's if they even watched it. Furthermore, the younger they are,
the less likely they are to have ever even played one of her games that
got her well-liked in the first place... ...then, from there, Zelda is from LoZ (obviously, I know), which has generally had a positive day-vote -- not fantastic, but above average. Nintendo has shown time and time again it's good with the day-vote, ignoring DK. SSBM has shown to be killer with the after-school vote, and the people coming back from school are more likely to have been playing newer games from the past generation, two, or three...than, you know...games on the Apple. Zelda will push this even further, sadly. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

Am I the only who thinks Carmen might be suffering from Pac-Man syndrome? Meaning that most of her popularity comes purely from name recognition, so she can do decent against characters with no "name appeal" but collapses against characters that actually have some. Maybe I'm just a Carmen fanboy, but I just can't see her being bottom-level fodder like this implies. --- Z1mZum totally owned me in the July 2006 Guru Contest The Funky Chickens in Trivia XVIII |

I'll agree to a point -- Haste brought it up yesterday, and I said it
would be minimal...but right now, just barely over Yuri (is she even
still above Yuri?!) makes me think something is up. I know I would have
no problem taking her over Yuri or Manny, so...maybe there is. Also,
for what it's worth, Zelda is bigger and stronger here than Yoshi or
Luigi, so maybe that makes it more likely for Carmen to have suffered
some (though I'm not trying to imply she would suffer more than Pac-Man
proportionately). --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

XIII pointed out Terra being expected to get 59.98% on Kerrigan. Let's
just use creativename's most recent adjusted x-stats to predict EVERY
possible Round 1 match.... Chun Li beats Kasumi - 54.21% Squall beats Tidus - 57.86% Dante beats Hayabusa - 63.72% Yoshi beats Riku - 58.41% Ryu beats Kratos - 65.98% Sonic over CATS - 75.01% Vincent over Ganondorf - 52.73% Zero over Luigi - 51.20% Bowser over Leon - 62.37% Auron over Alucard - 62.86% Ryu vs. Kratos will probably the furthest off...Kratos' game has been continuing to sell, and he was underrated in the first place. Oh, and Chun Li will probably win by a lot more than 54%....I'd say more, but I don't feel like mentioning debatable things right now. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun!
