If Marle ended up higher than KOS-MOS, odds would heavily favor Aeris
over Zelda unless Zelda went up to Snake's level. Speaking of
over-performances, could you guys imagine Aeris getting nearly 78% on
Vyse? Also, sign this petition pertaining to the GameFAQs Contests: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 It'll be hard to keep the signs coming... --- "Ah, a party!

I'd take Zelda over either FF7 chick, with Tifa being noticeably stronger than Aeris.

At the very least I wouldn't want to discount Aeris being as strong as
Tifa (or even slightly above). Aeris played a weaker Sonic, but 46.98%
as opposed to 43.60%...it's something. --- "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." |

Random statement: Sp2K5 had the best Round 1 of ANY contest for its
size. 8/16 matches were within 60/40, and only 4/16 matches were truly
gimmes to the casual bracket-maker. It was even difficult enough to
knock the perfects down to, what, 20 or so perfects at the end of the
round? We've never seen perfects weeded out that fast before. Take this contest...we've had 12 matches so far and only 2 matches have been within 60/40 so far. 6 out of 12 have been a tripling or worse. Also, 7 out of these first 12 matches are going to have a prediction percentage of 80% or higher... it's no wonder there are so many perfects at this point. An upset could help, of course... --- "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." |

Triforce Division: Round 1 - Match 13 – (1)Yuna vs. (8)Roll Moltar’s Analysis Yuna Game/Series Known From: Final Fantasy Extrapolated Rank in 2003: 34th (23.66%) Extrapolated Rank in 2005: 39th (19.93%) – Adjusted Value: 31st (23.92%) Seed in 2003: 9 Seed in 2005: 6 Lost in 2003 to Knuckles in Round 1 Lost in 2005 to Ganondorf in Round 1 Yuna a number 1 seed for the females. I’m slightly impressed! Roll Game/Series Known From: Mega Man Another Mega Man character…yep. So let’s see, after Samus, Zelda and Tifa we have…Yuna? We have to go that far down to find a female decent enough for the 4th one seed not named Aeris? Oh well… Even though Yuna isn’t all that strong, she has an easy match in Round 1. Roll will be nothing more than fodder, so the FFX star has nothing to worry about here. I mean, we’ve seen other Mega Man characters like Protoman and Dr. Wily, who I would take over Roll, and even based on their past performances, I wouldn’t take them over Yuna. Also, you know your sad when Yuna is going to blow you out. Only a few more Round 1 female matches to go, yay! Moltar’s Bracket Says: Yuna will win. Moltar’s Prediction is: Yuna: 73% - Roll: 27% Ulti’s Analysis I'm not even going to dignify this with a response. **** Roll and her goddamn bolt crap in Mega Man 8. GIVE me the goddamn upgrades. Nice to see Yunie as a 1, though. It's tough to defend her character given her crap voice acting and the laughing scene, but I maintain that her character in FFX is one of the finest RPG roles for any girl to ever grace the genre. Prediction: Yuna with 68.24% HM’s Analysis Hurrah for Yuna getting a first seed! It’s nice to see three of my favorite female characters sporting the top seed in this bracket. Yuna is going up against Roll from the Mega Man series here – and this will be ugly. Yuna came out pretty strong last year with a nice boost from Final Fantasy X-2. This year, she’s got some help thanks to Kingdom Hearts II, even with her minute role, but that’s pretty much irrelevant thanks to how fodderific Roll is going to be. Judging by how poorly Protoman performed in 2004, it’s safe to say that this one could approach the 70%+ range for Yuna. She’s already projected to get 63% on Protoman, and I wouldn’t suspect she’d be anywhere close to him. This is one of many easy wins for Yuna as she goes and plows through this division with ease. Aitch Emm’s Bracket: Yuna Aitch Emm’s Prediction: Yuna – 68% ; Roll – 32% Aitch Emm’s Vote: Yuna Yoblazer’s Analysis This should be a very boring match between the last (and weakest) top seeded female and a very generic looking opponent. How many voters will even realize Roll is from Mega Man? She just looks like a background character to me. Yuna won't have any trouble here, but she's still forced to count the days until her inevitable match with Zelda. My prediction: Yuna def. Roll (72-28) Lopen’s Analysis Another unpopular character from a popular franchise. I'm getting sick of seeing these. Amy Rose, Daisy, Roll. At least Zelda and Metal Gear spared us of these things! |
| Master Moltar | Posted 9/23/2006 8:55:55 PM | message detail |
| Okay, I see this as being a huge beating. Roll's a
very minor character in the Mega Man games... I think her most notable
role was the item shop chick in MM7/8? Otherwise she's just a punk who
shows her face in the ending once in a while. The only reason I give
Roll a chance to draw any votes is because of Marvel vs. Capcom 1 and 2
(and maybe that old Mega Man cartoon!). We know they were pretty
popular games in 2002... right? Look at how well Servbot, Strider, and
Morrigan did! Well, the heck with that. It had nowhere to go but down…
and I imagine Roll's an even less popular pick than any of these. (Yes,
even Servbot… he's got more novelty) Not to mention Servbot was
probably flukish anyway. Yuna could do way worse than I expect here. And if she does… I totally blame Marvel vs. Capcom! But she won't. Lopen's prediction: Yuna with 80.01% KH’s Analysis lol x-stats history Yuna Summer 2003 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 34th Place [23.66%] Summer 2005 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 31st Place [23.92%] Yuna as a 1 seed? Geez, will wonders never cease? She really should have switched her division with Tifa's, though... Still, it'll be nice to see the summoner finally win a match. Though she could have more respectable opposition... Roll lol N/A LOL, indeed. Roll? Roll?! I could not believe my eyes when I saw Roll made this damn contest, and the now iconic "darn you cjay" sums up my feelings on her and this entire match. Not that I don't like Roll, of course -- she's damn good in the MML games, of which I'm a huge fanboy of...but other than that and MvC2, she's nothing but an NPC. No, she's worse -- she's an NPC that only appears in minor storyline scenes. Y'know that "I want to grow up to be a blitzball!" kid in FFX? Yeah, he's got more relevance to his game than Roll typically does to hers. ****ing female bracket. Notable Releases Since Last Appearance Yuna: Kingdom Hearts II (PS2) Roll: Mega Man Legends (PS1), Marvel vs Capcom 2 (Multi) Upcoming Releases Yuna: N/A Roll: N/A I could see Yuna steamrolling Protoman. That's all ya need ta know for this match. Karma Hunter's Vote: Roll. Hey, I like ya Yuna. I really do. But MML Roll holds a space near and dear to my heart, AND YOU'RE GONNA ****ING KILL HER Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Yuna with 76.62% . Another total guess, and I'm trying not to go too low thanks to my MML fanboyism. Upset Potential: 0% HAHAHAHAHAHA Guest’s Analysis - XIII_Rocks God damn time differences and the need for sleep :( I got lumbered with a fodder match. Ah, well. Anyway, this match gives us a chance to see the first ever female megaman character in a contest setting vs. ...random idiotic bleghgirl from FFX/-2. Yeah, fun. I fully expect Roll to be much weaker than Protoman (who would be a fairly decent addition to the contest - I'm nominating him for the returners in the NRT this year), seeing as she doesn't have a massive role and most MM fans probably don't care for her. Yuna, on the other hand, is fresh off a cameo KH2. KH2, the prequel to which propelled a Cloud who lost to Mario to all of a sudden beating LINK. Yeah, Roll has no chance of avoiding a quadrupling here, and after Nidoran's performance today, I expect Roll to look TERRIBLE in the stats. Yuna with 82%, and I'm being generous. Crew Consensus: Yuna wins. It's short, go ahead and skim it. 5 minutes, yadda yadda. |

Roll is absolutely pathetic. I don't know
why anyone thought she would be anything different, and that's about
the worst picture you could give her in terms of where her actual
fanbase comes from (specifically MvC2 and MML to a lesser extent). Also, I thought it was a given that G-dorf had always been slightly underrated...Rikku's not stronger than Yuna. Heck, I think Ganon 2k5 > Vincent 2k5. Doesn't mean he'll win against Vinnie 2k6. --- Commit it to memory. |

Oh he'll take care of 2006 Vincent without a problem, yo. My confidence in Ganon grows with each passing day. At this rate, I wouldn't be too surprised if he beats Vincent as easily as he did Auron last year, and I would be almost shocked if Vincent were to win that match without a struggle.

Unless Aeris got a massive boost, what she did to Marle doesn't speak
much of any big-time FF7/CT SFF. Marle being above Lavos is
believeable, but there's a limit to how close she can get to
Frog...unless CT fans will just vote for ANYTHING, which, again,
doesn't lend itself to large SFF. There's also the matter that any big-time FFVII/CT SFF in the Games Contest places CT *much* closer to OoT...not impossible, but considering that the game barely beat LttP I'm not buying it. OoT has always been a class above LttP here. Vincent/Crono being pure rSFF seems less likely going by this, but a boost caused by the AC leak still seems possible. Allotting for such a thing (i.e. making a pure guess) and measuring Ganon through Summer Diablo 2k5 gives G-dorf the slight advantage through my stats. G-dorf could be stronger, but Vincent may not have been overrated at all...I'm counting on DoC to do the bulk of this, and I think we'll be surprised how strong Vincent ends up in the stats, whether or not he loses that match. If it really was the AC leak that did that much, though...heh, Aeris is going to kill Zelda. =D --- Commit it to memory. |
