Hmmm, so barring an amazing turn around for Kerrigan (like SC...), I'll
just go ahead and ask how much Terra is exepected on Zelda. If she gets
a sprite pic, will it help her not look like a complete loser? That, and which would people recognize more, the esper sprite or regular sprite? --- Z1mZum>Redtooth Nice list, I counted twenty that would be in my top ten - BlondeAfroHero7 |

I'll just go ahead and ask how much Terra is exepected on Zelda. Around 74% based on the Extrapolated Standings, but keep in mind the Devil devision may be a bit overrated and Zelda has probably gained over the last year. If she gets a sprite pic, will it help her not look like a complete loser? It will help, but not much. That, and which would people recognize more, the esper sprite or regular sprite? Probably regular. --- I got pwnt by Z1mZum in the July 2006 Guru Contest. Support Toadette for the Summer 2006 Contest! |

If Zelda stayed constant, we could see where Dante's real value is depending on how much Terra gets on Zelda. --- Terra vs. Sarah Kerrigan / Bracket: Terra / Vote: Terra (8/9) Tomorrow / Bracket: KOS-MOS / Vote: Amy Rose |

This contest is so boring...ugh. Just get to Ganondorf/Vincent already! Zelda's supposed to get about 72.34% against Terra. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

If Zelda stayed constant, we could see where Dante's real value is depending on how much Terra gets on Zelda. You'd have to assume Dante stayed constant too if you mean Dante for this year...but DMC3:SE has been released since the last contest and DMC2 has become a Greatest Hit, so it shouldn't be AS accurate as we hope this year...and, as you said, that also relies on a constant Zelda. The discovery of his real value'll be tough with just that. If you mean Dante last year though...yeah, probably right. =P --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest.

From YoAriel33 Posted 9/21/2006 12:56:48 AM Hmm... wonder how the day vote turns out. We're dealing with two characters who were terrible with it last year. Same as Boss/Celes, where MGS characters and FF6 characters bomb with it. I'll make a bold statement that either Terra gets it a little bit, or the match stays even the whole day. Also, lol @ Amy > KOS-MOS. I wouldn't take Tails over KOS-MOS, so why would anybody take Amy? TuRtLe ~~~ I used my brain and statistics to make my bracket. Karma Hunter used MGS fanboyism. KH won.

I find it amazing that Lopen is tied for first place with three points
for the closest prediction (Moltar's rankings), but is dead last in my
consistency rankings. Shows how crazy his picks truly are. Hit-or-Miss

lol hm I saw that too. Incredibly ironic given what happened. And Cortana's picture is horrendous. Kasumi looks pretty sub-par too. I like Marle's pic though...she might be able to avoid a tripling. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Why is it that we don't really care about Terra in this topic? Final
Fantasy VI is a damn good game, and she's a pretty good character in
it, too. Is it because we've already seen her fail once and don't need
to see her do it again? --- Revenge is a dish best served by Z1mZum in the 2k6 Series Guru Contest. |

I like Terra as a character, but this match just didn't need to happen,
not when characters like Donkey Kong and Knuckles get left by the
wayside. The fact that she drew a character even more pathetic just so
she could finally a FF6 character not named Kefka can finally win a
match is not something to rejoice over. You want me to get excited over FF6? Let's have a ****ing Games Contest. This doesn't do it for me. --- Commit it to memory. |

what EC said. I rather like FF6 (though Terra's kinda stupid to me, but
whatever), but characters that are weak and follow expectations are the
most boring kind. this is the first match we've really seen this year
that follows x-stats down to the percent. throw in that they'd both get
tripled by Zelda and you've got a bad match. --- iddqd "MY SLEEPING PATTERNS ARE SHOT THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR FANFICTION" -windmage |

You really shouldn't be surprised after last year. Don't get me wrong, I knew she'd be weak... but I figured she'd still have enough to get by Terra.

Sine told me on skype the other day that he'd been told he couldn't
pull 5% against Tanner. I think, as the site's most popular mod, he
could probably pull 30% or so off of Tanner... and maybe 35% off of Jay
Solano(although that match would probably be determined just by
pictures) --- Pride. Power. Pinstripes. |

I have a feeling that Rinoa would be little more than fodder against any character with some sort of power. Yuffie's a different story, she's probably end up being Rikku-ish. --- CB5 Points: 8/9, Current Oracle placement: 57/156 Now playing: Xenosaga 3 (kinda) |

Sticking Yuffie as the 8 seed in Yuna's division could have torn
brackets to pieces. Real, serious brackets could have been completely
taken out of the running based on that one match. Or perhaps Rinoa as the 7 seed against Peach? Bah. Wasted potential! --- Commit it to memory. |
