Does the Prince even have any bad pictures? The only backlash I can see
is if he decides to use his WW incarnation. And even then, it'll be
less the picture and more distaste for the game itself. --- Commit it to memory. |

haha. I expect a riot! sess' jihad will declare war. And of course PoP doesn't have any bad pics, he's the mother ****ing Prince of Persia! If someone dared to take a bad picture of him, he'd slice their faces off, that's how awesome he is. Then he'd rewind time and tell them they better recognize.

Also, on a scale of 1-10, how much whining will there be if Kerrigan
wins the match by like 50 votes or so? I don't think I'd dare even
visit the board. --- Explicit Content Philadelphia's Path to Cheer Up Emo Kids (1-1) - Next week @ SanFran 49ers. |

I can't help but think a bunch of people who had Terra in their
bracket, or for some reason love her, wouldn't go ape ****, and then
the Kerrigan fans would act like pompous asses, and you'd have an all

squeaked by. Yes, I'm implying you all complained because you wanted an easier point. --- Squall: "Hi, like Cloud from the last game, I am full of angst and am named after weather." - Slow Beef |

At this point, I'd be prepared to throw away my bracket if we could
just spice up this contest a little. I want a Ganon/Vincent match that
goes down to the wire! I want Sonic v. Crono, Mega Man v. Snake, Mega
Man/Snake v. Sonic/Crono and Samus v. Male Bracket Winner to be
insanely close matches. Hell, maybe even someone in the female bracket
giving Samus a scare! Dangit, I got greedy. --- Commit it to memory. |

Well... she does look a little hotter. ... what? I'm serious. But really, it's all recognizability. She's definitely recognizable, now.

I was going to vote for kerrigan before, and I still will now. And no,
it's not a bracket vote since I have terra winning in my bracket, I
just think kerrigan is an awesome character. Not a very photogenic
character mind you, but an awesome one anyways. --- When D... I'd be able to finish this sig if Z1mZum didn't own me so hard in the guru contest. Congrats on your victory! |

I don't really care for either of them...I'll probably bracket-vote
Terra, especially since I spent alot more time with FF3/6 than the
single-player mode in SC (I bet I never even put two hours into it),
but I almost wanna vote Kerrigan just as a sign of approval for what

Kerrigan does have the picture advantage now... not that I really care,
unless of course Kerrigan actually wins by 50 votes or something like
that, but not because of my bracket, that baby is shot already. Rather
because Kerrigan isn't deserving of winning anything. It's not like she
looks great either though, it's two crappy pictures, Kerrigan looking
slightly more badass. --- Explicit Content Philadelphia's Path to Cheer Up Emo Kids (1-1) - Next week @ SanFran 49ers. |

This whole kerrigan vs. terra match is actually somewhat ironic for me
since I had Terra winning her division last year by beating kerrigan in
round two. >_> Something tells me if I actually posted frequently on this board I'd get way more crap about my predictions then hm or vlado, although I usually do well n the later rounds, saving my bracket from complete embarrassment. --- When D...

Here's how I see it going. The match starts off 57-43, which Kerrigan
doing well over night and bring it down a bit. Terra then somehow does
well in the morning/early day, day vote is up in the air (though I'm
leaning towards Terra), and Kerrigan starts doing well during the
evening/night vote. Hmm, maybe this match will be closer than I thought, unless Terra starts off well and/or doesn't die with the day vote. --- Moltar Status: Feeling good and hot-blooded. Zelda vs. Carmen - Bracket: Zelda - Vote: Zelda (7/8) |

Triforce Division: Round 1 - Match 10 – (4)Terra Branford vs. (5)Sarah Kerrigan Moltar’s Analysis Terra Game/Series Known From: Final Fantasy Extrapolated Rank in 2005 47th (17.10%) Seed in 2005: 8 Lost in 2005 to Dante in Round 1 Terra is back! Apparently Dante didn’t whip her bad enough. Kerrigan Game/Series Known From: StarCraft Extrapolated Rank in 2005 58th (13.70%) Seed in 2005: 4 Lost in 2005 to Vincent in Round 1 Kerrigan is back as well! How she could show her face again after Vincent spanked her. This is certainly an interesting match. Two competitors that were in the same four-pack in 2005 are now facing off. Both were semi-popular upset picks last year, and both were slammed down hard in their matches. Terra ended up a bit higher that Kerrigan in the end, but how will it work out in a direct match? Well, Terra has the whole Final Fantasy thing with her, and though she may not be strong, look at whom she’s facing. Kerrigan suffers from Gordon Freeman pre-HL2 syndrome of “The game is popular, but the character in the game is unknown/not cared for.” Now, Kerrigan could end up looking strong and was only underrated last year because of going up against Vincent, and FF is known to blow out fodder worse than expected, but I doubt it. The match may end up closer than expected, but I predict Terra will still win in the end. Stats say Terra with 60%, but what does Moltar say? Moltar’s Bracket Says: Terra will win. Moltar’s Prediction is: Terra: 56% - Kerrigan: 44% Ulti’s Analysis It's actually funny that this match has gotten no hype, given that "Blizzard rallying in close matches makes a huge difference" is thrown all over the place during potentially close matches involving the company. Or maybe the morons that put their heads on the guillotines last year during Vincent/Kerrigan learned their lesson. I generally hate gloating, but that was one match where I didn't mind it at all. Anyway, I doubt this match deviates much from the 2005 stats. Prediction: Terra with 60.01% HM’s Analysis The good thing about this match is that we have an idea of how it will play out already. It seems the female bracket loves throwing semi-debatable fodder matches at us. Fortunately, these two are very comparable since they both in the same division last year and did not seem to suffer any type of crazy SFF or other factors. The stats predict that Terra wins this one without 60% of the vote, which seems to be right around where I would suspect Terra will end up. It’s pretty clear that FF6 characters need someone absurdly weak to pull out a win – and Terra’s in luck today. Kerrigan bombed last year after a number of people were calling for her to beat Vincent, but there are a couple of things that can help her out today. The first is that she may get her StarCraft: Brood War box art picture, which is far more recognizable than the fanart picture CJayC used last year. The second is rallying by Blizzard freaks to help her pull closer to Terra. But even with those two factors behind her, I have a hard time seeing Kerrigan really make this a close match or staying competitive in it. Terra should run away with this one from the start. Aitch Emm’s Bracket: Terra Branford Aitch Emm’s Prediction: Terra Branford – 58% ; Sarah Kerrigan – 42% Aitch Emm’s Vote: Sarah Kerrigan |

Yoblazer’s Analysis Wow, I had totally forgotten about this match. Maybe it was too high in crap content for even me to stomach. That right there should tell you something, as I like some pretty crappy stuff (Just look at my sig for proof! Wait... did I actually write that? No, of course not.). Honestly, how in the hell do the two most disappointing newcomers from last year's contest face each other in the first round? What the hell kind of mathematical law allows that? Actually, you can make a pretty decent argument for either one of these losers. While Terra is noticeably stronger in the 2005 stats, Kerrigan's camp has a better track record. Starcraft, Diablo, and Warcraft are all known for performing wonderfully in close matches. Final Fantasy VI characters, on the other hand, are known for being hold-your-nose-and-hope-the-stink-goes-away bad. If she keeps it close early and those Blizzard fans somehow get something going, it could be very interesting (or not, since this match just sucks). Despite all of that, I'm going with the character who managed to be less of a bust last year, and that's Terra. I don't believe Kerrigan's picture would affect her performance much, if at all, and I doubt Blizzard fans would care enough to get seriously involved in... you know what, just why the heck am I analyzing this? It's like looking for strengths and weaknesses in two pieces of cow dung. Look, this one has corn; it's clearly got the after school vote now! BAH. My prediction: Zelda def. both of these *****es (97-3) My prediction so Moltar won't yell at me: Terra Branford def. Sarah Kerrigan (56-44) Lopen’s Analysis Sarah Kerrigan has a strength of 14.95. Terra has a strength of 18.65. Terra wins with 59.92% of the vote! A win of 19,507 with 98,324 total votes cast. Hey… hey… what? No! NO! I don't agree with you, young man! Okay, well, the point of bringing this young man in was to illustrate that Terra should be the favorite in this match if you follow those fancy x-stat things, and by a good margin. But man, I don't agree with X-Stats to measure fodder… really, I don't. I think this match will be the first fodder v fodder match we've had with readily available X-Stats before the match. … and they're going to fall on their face. Let's look at facts here: Last year, no matter what her "extrapolated strength" was, Terra still only got 27652 votes in her match. Kerrigan? She got 21058 votes. Now let's take the best case scenario here, and assume all of the Kerrigan voters hate Terra and vice versa (and also that all these voters from last year are gonna show up). You add those vote totals together, what do you get? 48710 votes. Guess how many votes the typical match gets these days? 100k… 110k? That means we've got over 50000 votes that we have no idea where they're going, in the very best case. Can I really say that Terra getting 6000 more votes is that significant with all things considered? I don't think so. Certainly not enough to assume a 60-40 match. The way I see it: They both got the crap kicked out of them… so hard, that you can't really read how they'll do against each other. So I just went with what my gut said last year, before I was tainted with match results and Dante schilling, and went with thinking Kerrigan is more popular than Terra around here. |
