gah, this next match is bugging me. it seems like KOS-MOS should
destroy Amy, but... I just can't get over the thought of Xenosaga being
one tenth as popular as Sonic. I'm not even sure if 65% of the people
on GF have heard of Xenosaga, let alone played it... yet that seems to be the logical pick for the match. eh, oh well. just don't bomb on me, KOS-MOS! --- xyzzy |

That's the very thing that bugs me too tranny. To me, it all depends on
how many Sonic fans don't hate Amy enough to toss a vote her way.

Nah, if being well known was a factor for KOS-MOS and Xenosaga as a
whole, KOS-MOS wouldn't have been able to beat Crash so badly, who
everyone knows. You don't have to have played Xenosaga to realize that
KOS-MOS is the Xenosaga chick. And it doesn't take much for one to
think that she is cooler than Amy Rose at first glance. --- Vote for Carmen Sandiego in SC2k6 Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness |

yeah Crash makes me feel a lot better. I always thought KOS-MOS got a
lot of her strength because she's a hot android chick, not because of
her game. (her series would bomb, trust me. Star Ocean style.) I'm not
sure if her picture really highlights her, uh, hotness though. eh, it
shouldn't matter too much. --- xyzzy |

KOS-MOS beat Crash with 61.98% of the vote when she only had 42.45% of
the brackets on her side. i'm guessing that she will have significantly
more bracket support this time around and she does have a very recent
new game to draw from. as for Amy, i'm also guessing that she will be
somewhat similar in contest strength to Crash. it's pure conjecture, but based on that, i think KOS-MOS should come pretty close to doubling Amy Rose. --- i have officially been Z1mZum'D in the guru contest. Vincent Valentine to win the Blast Division!! |

Triforce Division: Round 1 - Match 11 – (3)KOS-MOS vs. (6)Amy Rose Moltar’s Analysis KOS-MOS Game/Series Known From: Xenosaga Extrapolated Rank in 2003: 36th (22.96%) Extrapolated Rank in 2004: 21st (22.60%) Extrapolated Rank in 2005: 41st (19.52%) Seed in 2003: 7 Seed in 2004: 8 Seed in 2005: 7 Lost in 2003 to Samus in Round 2 Lost in 2004 to Ryu in Round 1 Lost in 2005 to Luigi in Round 1 The blue-haired beauty is back! Yay! Amy Game/Series Known From: Sonic the Hedgehog Blah…Amy. Only a few in the Sonic-verse surpass you in suckitude. KOS-MOS wins. Amy would have to be stronger than Robotnik, and maybe Tails, to even stand a chance. I also think KOS-MOS is a underrated in 2005, and with XS3 behind her, she’s bound to look better now. Now, back to this cursed female bracket. A lot of good characters were left out because of it, and instead we got stuff like…Amy Rose. I’ll show you another Sonic character that deserves to be in it instead! *This regularly scheduled analysis has been interrupted for this short announcement. Please do not change topics.* Real Men, Real Snubs - Knuckles He’s Red. He’s mean. He has his priorities straight. He’s Knuckles, a real man, and a snub in the 2006 Contest. *Shot of Knuckles doing an uppercut* Ever since 2002, this Echinda has seen action in GameFAQs Summer Contests. Back then, he mustered up 80% of the vote against Akira Yuki. THE Akira Yuki. Knuckles’ path of destruction wasn’t done there. Next year, semi-fresh off of Final Fantasy X, Yuna challenged the big Red One. Yet even she could not stand up to him. The King Dig’s track of Round 1 victories didn’t end there though, because in 2004, he took down Kefka with ease. *Shot of Knuckles standing over his fallen opponents triumphantly* However, in 2005, all seemed lost for Knux, the Red Demon of the Wind. His round 1 opponent was Magus, known for his win over Ganondorf and impressive performance against Link…and the game he’s in, Chrono Trigger. No one had faith in Knuckles, but even though the odds were against him, Little Mac in Echinda Form overcame the odds and won the match-up. Brackets had died, but new life was breathed into Knuckles, as that match would forever be remembered in the hearts of the GameFAQs members. *Shot of Knuckles cheered on by the masses* But where is he now? He didn’t even make the cut for the 5th Character Battle. Knuckles, a character who’s only weakness was a snake that didn’t reside on an aircraft, missed the mark. His impressive victories, including the upset of Magus, and even his valiant loss against Squall Leonhart, couldn’t get him a spot. Is that what Knuckles really deserved? *Shot of Knuckles frowning in a lone spotlight* Knuckles. A real man, and a real snub. (P.S.: Shadow > Knuckles, 45% on Mario! Shadow for 2K7!) Moltar’s Bracket Says: KOS-MOS will win. Moltar’s Prediction is: KOS-MOS: 65% - Amy: 35% Ulti’s Analysis I know KOS-MOS completely ****ing tanked last year (remember how KOS-MOS/Luigi was an "even" match according to stats?), but has she fallen so far that she'll fail to beat a character that Sonic fans despise? Somehow I doubt it, plus for what it's worth XS3 is a recent release. Prediction: KOS-MOS with 57.45% HM’s Analysis I have no idea why Amy Rose managed to disgrace us with her rotten appearance in this contest, but she did. Fortunately, she was put in a match she cannot possibly win against KOS-MOS. Most of the reason this match isn’t debatable is because the Sonic fanbase has shown to hate Amy Rose in previous polls. They were old, sure, but it’s not like Amy got any better over the years. She’s still the annoying little rodent who’s trying to get Sonic’s attention. |

I believe the stats put Tails around
KOS-MOS’s level or around there, which is far above the ceiling for
Amy. Added to that, KOS-MOS has proven to be decently strong in these
contests before, and she has the benefit of a new game coming out right
around the contest – Xenosaga Episode III. It may not be something big,
but it should at least put some more focus back onto her for now. This match should end up being a rather boring affair with KOS-MOS taking it without trouble. Aitch Emm’s Bracket: KOS-MOS Aitch Emm’s Prediction: KOS-MOS – 60% ; Amy Rose – 40% Aitch Emm’s Vote: KOS-MOS Yoblazer’s Analysis This is the second consecutive match where I know nothing and don't give a hoot about either character; it definitely makes these harder to write. KOS-MOS isn't weak, and Amy should be a good bit weaker than Tails, so the hot robo babe on the left will win easily. Rather than spice this up with something witty or entertaining, I'd rather just go ahead and slurp the X-Stats. According to the 2004 stats, KOS-MOS is projected to beat Tails with approximately 52%. Ok. Hmm... no wonder everyone hates these things. That didn't help at all. Let's try Robotnik. According to the stats, 2004 KOS-MOS beats the evil doctor with a little over 65%. Much better, but then you have to remember that Robotnik was probably SFF'D by Ganondorf. **** these things. Ok, in 2003, KOSSY beats Crash Bandicoot with 62%. There's no way Amy Rose is stronger than him, so I'll bump that percentage and call it a day. Actually, I'll bump it a lot, since I get the feeling that not even Sonic fans care about this goofball. My prediction: KOS-MOS def. Amy Rose (68-32) Lopen’s Analysis Amy Rose is yet another example of a character from a popular series that I don't feel has any real fans. They seem to grow on trees here in this contest, it seems. However, any of the statements I say apply to Peach, Kairi (shaddap!), Celes, Terra… and all those others, apply even worse to Amy Rose. Amy Rose doesn't have the benefit of being in every/almost every game of the series like Kairi or Peach. Amy Rose doesn't have the benefit of being "the main character of a game" like Celes or Terra. She's not in any of the old games, which I think are the main appeal of Sonic. She's got nothing! In that "favorite Sonic character" poll? She got last? Second to last maybe? She didn't get more than 2 or 3%, I know that. Not to put too much faith in those polls, but when they back up my thoughts on the matter, well, they can only help. She did about as bad as Robotnik, she's not as important to the games as Robotnik, she's not in as many games as Robotnik. She's got no appeal to the old school Sonic fans. All signs say that she should be less popular than Robotnik. Would KOS-MOS beat Robotnik? Of course she would! Xenosaga isn't hugely popular here, but don't let KOS-MOS's match with Luigi last year fool ya. She's not mega jobber fodder… at least she beat Crash Bandicoot decisively. And quite simply put… I think Amy Rose is the very mega jobber fodder I was talking about! Crash vs. Amy? I'd put my money on Crash. Really! But, this match isn't too debated, so most of you agree with me! Good then, I guess I can shut up now! Lopen's prediction: KOS-MOS with 64.88% KH’s Analysis lol x-stats history KOS-MOS Summer 2003 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 36th Place [22.22%] Summer 2004 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 31st Place [22.60%] Summer 2005 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 45th Place [19.52%] |

A long running, middle-of-the-pack contest entrant, KOS-MOS has the
dubious honor of being one of the hardest people to write for in the
FFP when she loses. <_< She has also had Xenosaga III since her
last appearance, which would seem to spell good things for her -- but
last year, even after Xenosaga II, she appeared to take a bit of a
fall. She's still got the nomination power to get into these things,
though, and still hovers around the fodder line, so that's not all bad.
As for her opponent.... Amy Rose lol N/A KOS-MOS was just wasted here, as this match is hardly debatable. Amy is one of *the* most hated and reviled characters in the Sonic series, happens to only be prominent in the Adventure titles (y'know, the less popular ones), and would basically lose to anyone with a bit of strength. Poor Amy. I still like you! ;_; Notable Releases Since Last Appearance KOS-MOS: Xenosaga III (PS2) Amy Rose: Shadow the Hedgehog (Multi) Upcoming Releases KOS-MOS: N/A Amy Rose: N/A While Amy Rose may come from a more popular series, she is generally hated. KOS-MOS has taken out more well known characters on the basis of hate before (Crash). Although to be fair, that was her only win. Something tells me that Amy should win this, and I'd have definitely picked her if this were their first contests. But KOS-MOS has stood the test of time too well to fall to someone I know should be fodder. Don't be surprised if the overall bracket predictions differ drastically from the board though. Karma Hunter's Vote: Amy Rose. Don't judge me! Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: KOS-MOS with 61.72%%. Xenosaga III will help a bit? C'mon... Upset Potential: 14.5% It's not impossible for Amy to win this, but like Kerrigan...it's not worth discussing. What a fall it would be for KOS-MOS, though. Upset Prediction: Amy Rose with 51.3%. Guest’s Analysis - Tai KOS-MOS 2k3: Defeated Crash Bandicoot 61.98%-38.02% Lost to Samus 30.25%-69.75% 2k4: Lost to Ryu 37.87%-62.13% 2k5: Lost to Luigi 34%-66% Amy Rose OMG, FIRST TIMER LOLZ! Omg, a veteran with somewhat respectable history vs a first-timer that no one cares about. Who could possibly win? :) KOS-MOS is that sexy android from the Xenosaga series. While I don't know much about that series, I guess KOS-MOS is sorta a cult favorite in GameFAQs, from a *gasps* cult RPG series! She hasn't done anything ground-breaking in these tournaments, and hasn't been past the first round since 2003. Hell, she may have gone down. I mean, come on; 37% on Ryu one year then 34% on Luigi the next? Well, I guess it doesn't matter against who she's facing. Amy Rose....oh, she's that girl who chases Sonic around, or tries. Yeah, considering she's from one of the more classic series in video gaming and can't get into a contest unless CJayC allows at least 32 girls in, no one should care about her, right? Uh, right; get with my program, damnit! :( Unless you're Tifa or Vincent, if this is your first time in your contest, there's probably a reason for that; YOU SUCK and you will be going home with nothing to talk about with your family and friends (possibly imaginary) but the bruises on your ass! I mean, ask Kerrigan! "Starcraft's legion is gonna mass spam the polls lol!" Uh huh, she did well vs Vincent! :) Oh...and furries do suck....those fans didn't hear me, did they? >_> |
| Master Moltar | Posted 9/21/2006 8:24:01 PM | message detail |
| Yeah, so with all that said, it's a bit shocking
Amy did get in period, cause what happened to that echinda that exposed
Magus has fraud? That two-tailed fox that follows Sonic around and
makes cool airplanes?. Oh, they got snubbed? :( See? That actually
leaves only Sonic and Amy to represent the Sonic series, right? Isn't
that cute? See, that's why we can take KOS-MOS to win and don't have to
worry about the Sonic legion mass spamming the polls, ok? Or at least,
enough to beat KOS-MOS. Maybe Sonic would beat KOS-MOS, no questions
asked. But, his girlfr....I mean stalker doesn't have that kind of
support. Hell, FURRIES don't have that...ok, forget it. KOS-MOS wins with 61.23%. Cry, furry fans. Cry very hard. :-) All four of you on GameFAQs. *runs* Crew Consensus: KOS-MOS wins with ease, but the range is large. Will Amy end up with more Sonic support than we think, or will KOS-MOS with XS3 behind her pound her back into the dirt (cuz she's a hedgehog lolol) |
