and the female bracket will get better... it's just that the first
round is full of some bad, bad matches. once we weed out the
mega-fodder it'll be a bit better. Peach-Jill is a good match, as are a
few others. ..well, better than the riveting Joanna Dark / Cortana matchup. --- iddqd "MY SLEEPING PATTERNS ARE SHOT THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR FANFICTION" -windmage |

It's a good thing we didn't get a seperate female contest with no guys
in sight. The girls are boring. Only Kairi/Claire proved to be anything
interesting (aside from maybe Samus/Nidoran for comedic purposes). Yoshi/Riku could be interesting, and Phoenix/Gordon is the match everyone's waiting for. I for one will be glad to see the universe implode so the old and no longer funny GFNW fad gets killed and the poor guy can earn a little respect. --- Back in my day, video games had one degree of movement, uphill, through the snow, both ways, and we liked it. - CJayC |

Yeah, I'm happier than ever that Ceej decided to make the "other" contest a Series Contest rather than a Female Bracket. An entire
contest of these females would be far worse than the Villains Contest
could ever hope to be. It would almost be an insult if the Top 50
wasn't totally comprised of perfects. --- Commit it to memory. |

I'm not really concerned about the Terra/Kerrigan match since Terra
does rank higher than Kerrigan in the 2005 X-stats by 3.4%. A huge
majority of the Oracle Challenge participants are choosing Terra to win
this one. --- Luster Soldier - Pwned by Repus_Yortsed http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30445079 |

agreed - the series contest was mostly boring, but it was far better
than any other gimmick contest could have been such as girls or a tag
team contest. it's no game contest, but it wasn't bad. bad
bracketmaking and only 32 entrants really hurt that thing, though I'm
not sure if there are 64 series' that deserve to make such a contest. then again, Shadow Hearts made it so I guess anything's fair game. --- xyzzy |

Why do you think they're doing that in the first place? For all the
criticism of "lol x-stats" that goes on around here, 99.9% of this
board still follows them like sheep, and they'll do it most of all in a
match that's projected to be close (Sonic/Crono, anyone?). I guarantee
if Kerrigan had ranked higher than Terra in the stats even by a smidge,
you'd have a sizable majority taking her to win this match. Though it'd go against my bracket, I'm sorta hoping that Kerrigan pulls this off. It'd serve the hypocrites right. --- Commit it to memory. |

and when they fail them, they'll point and blame the x-stats instead of themselves. brilliant! --- xyzzy |

And since nobody's really been talking about it, what does everybody think about how well KOS-MOS will do against Amy?

I mentioned the Rose upset in the last topic, and the only response was that Rose would do worse than Crash Bandicoot. But I really expect that match will be a lot closer than everybody expects. People keep talking about the recently released Xenosage Ep. III, but they forget that KOS-MOS dropped after Ep. II. Keeping in mind that Sonic fans are rabid on this site and Kosy is still one of the more obscure characters, I really think Amy can pull it off. --- September 22nd!

I have an urge to go into a Kerrigan > Terra debate, but the
analyses are going to be posted soon, so I may as well just wait for
them. Don't want to steal my own thunder. Then again, people don't argue with them nearly enough! --- Squall: "Hi, like Cloud from the last game, I am full of angst and am named after weather." - Slow Beef |

it's certainly possible that people will vote for Amy out of not
knowing who KOS-MOS is.. but from what I understand, no one cares about
Amy Rose at all. she's like Peach times ten. I dunno what to make of that match. Amy could win it, but I don't care to entertain the idea because I just don't know what to make of her. KOS-MOS at least has a new game out in the last month and has shown to be around the fodder line. --- xyzzy |

KOS-MOS certainly had no problem beating Crash Bandicoot. I'd say Crash
is easily as recognizable as Amy Rose, probably even moreso. --- Squall: "Hi, like Cloud from the last game, I am full of angst and am named after weather." - Slow Beef |

KOS-MOS scares me because I'm not sure if 50% of GameFAQs even knows
who she is...her losing to Pac-Man, for instance, wouldn't be out of
the question for me. She beat Crash, but a complete unknown could put
up decent numbers on that has-been... And seeing as how that's KOS-MOS's only win, I'm a bit wary. Still, it's only a bit...I tried to convince myself that Amy could do it, but there was no way I could take that upset. --- Commit it to memory. |

Crash got 63% on a character nobody on this site new even existed, and
suffered a beating from Master Chief worse than CATS. The guy's hated
on this site, and I know that Amy has her fans. --- September 22nd! Amy Rose > KOS-MOS Currently Playing: Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, God of War, Tales of Symphonia (again) |

yep, I agree with KH here. plus, 2003 was Square's best year and KOS-MOS is somewhat affiliated with the company. I've got KOS-MOS winning with ease, but if something weird happened I wouldn't be too too surprised. --- xyzzy |

That's the thing that bugs me, I picked KOS-MOS not neccesarily because
of her strength (though it helps), but because I wasn't completely
convinced the Sonic fanbase was "rabid" enough to push Amy! --- Chun-Li's Road to the Female Final Four: vs Kasumi (Septemeber 26th) *Just 20 days until Tales of the Abyss* |

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

Honestly, I'd say Amy's more hated than Crash Bandicoot, and less well
known. I think KOS-MOS might've dropped a bit, but I'd take 2k3 Crash
over the Amy Rose of today. --- Squall: "Hi, like Cloud from the last game, I am full of angst and am named after weather." - Slow Beef |

I'm pretty sure KOS-MOS can win if Amy Rose isn't anymore liked than
Robotnik himself. Though I'd take Tails to edge out KOS-MOS, I don't
think Amy is as liked as Tails. --- Zelda vs. Carmen Sandiego / Bracket: Zelda / Vote: Zelda (7/8) Tomorrow / Bracket: Terra / Vote: Terra |

Well, look at KOS-MOS's opponents she lost to. Samus, Ryu, and Luigi. She sure as hell wasn't going to beat any of those. Obviously, but the same thing can and has been said about Yoshi as it pertains to his match with Dante. KOS-MOS has either been in matches against bottom-feeder fodder or people that simply outclass her. Against someone around her own strength, she's just not battle-tested. --- Commit it to memory. |

I expect KOS-MOS to get the board vote, have it stay close for a while, then Amy blasts ahead with the morning vote. Kinda similar to Magus/Knuckles, actually. >_> --- September 22nd! Amy Rose > KOS-MOS Currently Playing: Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, God of War, Tales of Symphonia (again) |

I'd actually take Robotnik over KOS-MOS in an upset...screw X-Stats, I think people just know him more. Amy isn't even notable outside of the SA games, which are clearly less popular than the Genesis games. Robotnik has both to draw from. --- Commit it to memory. |
