I doubt Cortana would get that many anti-votes. Most of the people who would don't know she's from Halo. --- I got pwnt by Z1mZum in the July 2006 Guru Contest. Support Toadette for the Summer 2006 Contest! |

I still don't get why all you people call Cortana "Navi". Yes, she's
small. Yes, she's female. Yes, she tells Master Chief what to do... sometimes. The similarities about end there. Cortana's actually important in the story and cutscenes and stuff. Cortana doesn't come off as a "tutorial mode character", but rather just a character in the game. She also says her stuff passively, not interrupting the flow of the game at all. Basically, most of the things that make people hate Navi don't apply to Cortana, I don't think the comparison is very good for how much it's been used around here. --- Squall: "Hi, like Cloud from the last game, I am full of angst and am named after weather." - Slow Beef |

The reason why I refrain from debating this match isn't because it's obvious -- it's because I don't care.
Potentially SFF'd 19% on Mario shouldn't even enter into the equation
of a debatable match, and yet in this it translates to fairly big
favorite. I hate that, and I hate even more to dignify it with
discussion. </repetitiveness> --- Commit it to memory. |

I don't expect Cortana to get anti-votes, I'm saying in a situation
where she was up against Master Chief the majority of her votes would
likely come from anti-votes against the Chief. It'd be bad...well, as
bad as a MC blowout can be, I suppose. --- Commit it to memory. |

Cortana > Joanna is one of the more over-looked potential upsets
that are halfway reasonable, I feel, but I don't have much problem with
taking Joanna here at all. Besides already simply prefering Joanna and
PD being one of my favorite games ever (though Halo is oftentimes
awesome too), Joanna was potentially SFF'd by Mario, and the more she
was SFF'd the better she looks (I think it was minor, but I feel
certain something happened too). Add to it PD0...which, by the way, somebody said something like people who played PD0 aren't going to forget about Halo -- I agree with that, for the most part, but Joanna is much more to her games than Cortana is to hers, plus PD0 is more recent and on a system Halo hasn't graced yet (though it's the system-sequel to the HaloBox). More or less, I'm trying to say PD0 will hurt Cortana more than actually help Joanna -- I see it as a chance for Joanna to take away some of Cortana's votes rather than new fans voting for Joanna...but whatever, point is that it can't hurt Joanna at all and will go against Cortana. Add in that Cortana looks like she's got an 85% Camo-Index (whoever said that first, come take your credit now), and Joanna's the reasonable favorite. The only way Cortana wins is if Halo's fanbase is THAT rabid. We've seen Halo be very rabid against Starcraft, we've seen MC go neck-and-neck in two or three close matches and have essenitally seen what an oddity he is due to the fanbase's dedication, Halo at #9 and Halo 2 as a write-in at #85 on the Top 100 List, we've seen HBO link here multiple times (though not lately)...hell, Halo losing to CV in the Series Contest is the worst example of how the fanbase is. However, look at those -- the Halo series, Halo, Halo 2, and the lead character MC. Considering all of those are crucial for multi-player -- its strong point by far -- whereas Cortana is not only restricted to the single-player but also a NPC, this match should be a good idea of how true Halo fans stay. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest.

This is a match that looks hard at first, but if you actually use some common sense, it's clear that Joanna is the winner. For one, Joanna managed to make it into a contest that wasn't female-exclusive, and potentially got SFF'd by a Mario on steroids. Cortana, like many females in the contest, is only here because people had to nominate a side character from a series. I don't really know that much about Cortana, but despite Halo being extremely popular, even non-Halo players don't know who she is. Joanna is more recognizable, and if it's any merit, has the picture advantage. --- My bracket is so screwed. |

Man, we actually have to talk about Joanna/Cortana now, don't we? Why
couldn't that match have been today when I've barely been around?! In other news, good job, Yuna! Nearly pulling a quadrupling with some nice vote totals here. Roll is Yuri-like, it seems.

I don't feel worried at all about Yuna/Chun-Li. Sure, Chun-Li will do
fine, but as long as Samus is no lower than barely below Crono that
Yuna/Chun-Li is dead-even, and I'd give most intangibles to Yuna. Given
that I've got Samus winning the bracket and think she will with room to
spare (though I dunno if she'll match Mario's performance last year),
I'm just not worried about it. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

Match XIV: (4) Joanna Dark vs. (5) Cortana Contest History Joanna Dark Summer 2005 Lost to Mario, 19.11% - 80.89% Ranked: 54th Cortana No Previous Contest Matches Analysis: Joanna Dark is from Perfect Dark (Zero). Last year she was thrashed by Mario, but this year she is back with a new game and has a chance at winning. Cortana is from Halo and Halo 2. She is that person that helps you during missions. I really hate this match and I know I’m not the only one on the board that does. Here’s Joanna who got destroyed by Mario and is the favorite of winning this match. This is like Vyse/Laharl all over again. To me all Cortana was, was a voice that spoke to you and I don’t see her as a true character. This year Joanna had a new game, Perfect Dark Zero. Even though it didn’t exactly live up to the hype it was still one of the must get games for the 360 for some time. This match will probably get below 100k and it will probably be the lowest in the contest. I can see Cortana doing better than expected, but I just don’t see Joanna losing this fodder/fodder match. charmander6000’s Bracket: Joanna Dark over Cortana charmander6000’s Prediction: Joanna wins, 58.17% - 41.83% --- "I was trying to escape.

Triforce Division: Round 1 - Match 14 – (4)Joanna Dark vs. (5)Cortana Moltar’s Analysis Joanna Game/Series Known From: Perfect Dark Extrapolated Rank in 2005 54th (15.12%) Seed in 2005: 8 Lost in 2005 to Mario in Round 1 Jo Jo may not have looked so hot last year, but now it’s time for redemption! Cortana Game/Series Known From: Halo Yep, that blue thing from Halo made it in. Good for it! This is a somewhat debated match. Many just think Joanna will breeze though and call it a match, but you know me. I need to ramble on about Cortana’s “potential”. So let me put on my shield…and begin. Cortana, if you didn’t know, is from Halo. Yeah, Halo is popular and all, but is Cortana? Do the Halo fans even care for Cortana? I mean, we know how weird Halo fans are towards Master Chief, but this is “That blue thing that tells you stuff, kind of like Navi except less annoying and more hot.” She’s not even playable or anything. On the other hand, there’s Joanna Dark, from the popular series Perfect Dark, who is playable. Heck, she’s the main character! She also has Perfect Dark Zero on her side, and while her first match is a bit unfair to base her strength on, she isn’t looking to be too strong anyway. I have Joanna winning, and she should barring some weird thing happening and Cortana actually showing she has some fight in her. Joanna does have all the right factors on her side, it’s just a matter of what those crazy Halo fans will do. Moltar’s Bracket Says: Joanna will win. Moltar’s Prediction is: Joanna: 61% - Cortana: 39% Ulti’s Analysis This is a match between which fanbase cares less. I actually had Cortana in my bracket for a bit given Master Chief's success, but then I remembered that no one gives a crap about Cortana. She's Halo's version of Navi. Joanna Dark however actually has fans and has actually made a contest in the past. Perfect Dark was a million seller that still has people debating Goldeneye vs Perfect Dark, plus Perfect Dark Zero being on the 360 is very important. Whatever Xbox/Halo factor that Cortana might have had going for her will be weakened by Jo being on Xbox Live. The Halo fanbase caring less is odd to consider, but quite possible. Prediction: Joanna Dark with 55.55% HM’s Analysis This match is one of the most interesting in the entire female bracket. It didn’t get too much debate because we all pretty much figured that Joanna would be able to take care of this without too much trouble. I, however, am a bit worried about Cortana surprising and pulling out a win. Personally, I didn’t even expect Cortana to make the bracket. And with something like Halo, it’s always a big question mark heading into the match. A good argument for Joanna is that she not only has had Perfect Dark Zero within the past year – it sold around 500,000 copies in America – she also was unfortunate enough to be put up against Mario last year. There’s definitely some potential SFF to be had in that match, I think. It probably isn’t anything drastic, but enough to keep moving Joanna up the ladder. I think that, her game, and the fact that she should have plenty of support from the Nintendo fanbase should be enough to push her over the top here. …But I still wouldn’t be surprised if Cortana did something crazy. Halo is always hard to peg. Aitch Emm’s Bracket: Joanna Dark Aitch Emm’s Prediction: Joanna Dark – 59% ; Cortana – 41% Aitch Emm’s Vote: Joanna Dark |

Yoblazer’s Analysis As bad as this match looks, it's interesting to note that we may have seen its mirror version only four days ago. That was a semi-debated match between two foder caliber females; one was a main lead in her game, the other was a single player character in a game that draws its popularity from multiplayer action. Seem familiar? Remember what happened in that match? Yeah... ouch. Gentlemen, if you thought Starcraft fans didn't care about Kerrigan, prepare to be amazed. Unless she did some astoundingly amazing thing in Halo 2 that I'm unaware of, Cortana is completely useless to Halo fans. She's your tutorial voice person. You know who's a good character to compare to Cortana? Toad. Imagine a Toad who you hardly ever see and never get to play as. That's Cortana. Seriously... Cortana? What the ****? Joanna Dark may be weak as hell, but she managed over 19% on a super strong Mario before Perfect Dark Zero. Think Cortana can do that? Not a chance. She also looks absolutely dreadful in the picture, and that won't help. Easy match. My prediction: Joanna Dark def. Cortana (63-37) Lopen’s Analysis What have you done for me lately? Cliche? Sure. But that's what I keep thinking when I see this match. Perfect Dark for the N64 is pretty popular on this site, it doesn't make sense that the main character would be that weak. But yet, she seemingly is from her appearance last year. It's clear from the best game ever, and the top 100 list that the GameFAQs users haven't forgotten about Perfect Dark, but have they forgotten about Joanna? Basically, I think they have. I don't think she's the kind of iconic character that can survive such a grueling test of time, even if her game was fairly popular. And her poor showing last year helps support that. "But Lopen!", you say, "Perfect Dark Zero was released for the X-Box 360! She should have a resurgence!". *Ahem* My dear man, did you just say X-Box? The same X-Box lives by Halo and Master Chief? You think they'd dare turn on Master Chief's talking little in helmet hologram thing for some new chick on the block? … what? They know her name! They know what she looks like! They would not dare turn on her! She is their holographic goddess! Our holographic goddess! Cortana's in our minds, Joanna's only in the minds of the people who have already been enslaved by Master Chief and talking hologram helmet thing. It worked for Kairi, it'll work here! Recency factor… yeaah, baby! (If only I'd been consistent with these thoughts!) Lopen's prediction: Cortana with 52.29% KH’s Analysis lol x-stats history Joanna Dark Summer 2005 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 59th Place [15.12%] The lovely Ms. Dark makes her second appearance in the GameFAQs contests with a much more favorable seed and matchup this time around -- rather than being stuck as fodder against the future contest champion, she has a very winnable match this time around, and has Perfect Dark Zero on her side to boot. Now, let's see if she can spread her wings... Cortana lol N/A Cortana, for her part, doesn't have much going for her -- she's from Halo, and that's about it. It's a damn shame, too, because she's the best character from either of the games, even IF you want to include the books. Still, it's not like it's impossible for her to pull this out.

Y'know, Cortana scares me in this matchup. After all, in a contest
between Perfect Dark Zero and the Halo games, the XBox fanbase clearly
prefers Halo, even in a matchup between a side character and a main
character. Joanna's going to be working off of Perfect Dark -- which,
while decently popular here, didn't get her very far against Mario.
However, there's always SFF to think of there... Basically, if PDZ doesn't help much and Joanna didn't suffer much SFF against Mario, Cortana's got a good shot at this. Especially if the Halo fanbase really comes out and supports her -- I mean, we see how MC seems to defy linearity. What if the fanbase is that devoted to all its characters? Cortana...a contest mainstay? I certainly hope not. Joanna FTFW Karma Hunter's Vote: Cortana. If you couldn't tell, bit of a Cortana fanboy here. Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Joanna Dark with 58.88%. Most likely, however, I see this becoming another Terra/Kerrigan. I may actually be going too low! Upset Potential: 21% UPSET ALERT UPSET ALERT UPSET ALERT Yes, we've established that I think Cortana *can* win. No, nothing much else to say here. Upset Prediction: Cortana with 52.1% Guest’s Analysis - DaruniaTheGoron This match isn't being very heavily debated. I'm betting the only Crew member that has Cortana is Lopen, and we all know how whacked out some of his upsets are. I only count 12 Gurus out of 133 that have Cortana. That's 9%. However, this match certainly deserves more debate. The Master Chief and Halo have solid fanbases that vote for those two every time. It's why MC can only put up 68% on CATS but still put up 39% on Crono. I believe Cortana will benefit from this fanbase. Let's take a look here... MC, the main character from Halo, can manage 39% on Crono (who is almost even with Mario). Joanna can manage 19% on Mario (which could have been an overperformance). Cortana, the biggest supporting character, only needs half of MC's fanbase to be even with Joanna. Joanna will certainly benefit from PDZ, but I think the Xbox fans who have PDZ also have Halo, and love Halo much, much more. And let's not forget only 25% of GF even has a 360. Also, I'm betting a lot of PD fans are also Halo fans now (as both games are console shooters). The one thing that Jo needs to push her to victory is getting people to vote based on the nostalgia factor of PD on N64. I'm betting 80+% of her strength will come from that. Let's look at ownership rates: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2180 Now, I know that's Goldeneye, but GE and PD have similar fanbases. However, I'm guessing only 30-40% had PD if only 60% ever owned GE. Let's not forgot GE beat CV: SOTN with 60% while PD lost to SOTN with 43% in Sp2k4. I could have used an old poll from 2000 for PD, but obviously that data would be way off, so this was the best I could do. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2178 Halo has a 50% ownership rate. However, the fans are more rabid and the series is much more recent and recognizable to new gamers, which is why MC has at least double the strength of Jo. It would seem like a big detractor to my argument is this poll: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2198 |

However, look at PDZ's competition on there. Pathetic. People were
obviously just voting for the well known option. Besides that, only 5%
even had a 360 at launch, so this 60% can't be taken too seriously. I'm
thinking the PGR3 and Kameo voters in particular count more towards
actual strength, and in an poll among actual 360 buyers, PDZ would not
dominate nearly as much. Plus, this is just a poll among hyped games,
now that PDZ has actually been out for a year and is considered to be
highly inferior to the original, the game does not have nearly as much
strength, while Halo has been going strong in popularity despite having
no releases in 2 years. To put things in perspective, PDZ's message
board has as much activity as PGR3's. Another point I have to address is people saying Cortana has no shot because people play Halo for multiplayer and don't care about the campaign/story. 1. That's not true at all. Upcoming movies and novels are based around the Halo story. Peter freaking Jackson signed on to produce the movie. That speaks volumes, the man would not invest time and money in a movie with a story that is bad and that no one cares about. The 3 books and Graphic Novel have sold decently (the first one, a prequel to Halo 1, sold 200 000+ copies, and this was released before Halo was popular!) and they have nothing to do with Halo's multiplayer. Also, I know most Halo fans work to beat the campaign on Legendary in the Halo games. So obviously they care about the campaign otherwise they wouldn't even bother. There's also tons of fangroups dedicated to solving the puzzle of the Halo universe. And let's not forget ILoveBees. 2. People played PD for single player? Okay, that was a joke mocking the people who say the same about Halo. But there's no doubt people played the game mostly for multiplayer. It's not like either game are touted for their single player as much as their multiplayer, which is why I believe the argument is a weak one to use against Cortana because it goes both ways. My final points: I'm betting Cortana gets bracket support of at least 50% from the casuals, which always happens with Halo related entries. And one good point for Jo: She'll most certainly get a pic advantage. I'm just praying whatever pic she gets is a bad one, as it could be the difference in a match like this. I'm hoping that Ceej knows this and gives Jo a bad pic to make it a closer match though! I wouldn't be surprised to see Joanna leading by 5% throughout the night, but then I expect Cortana will make a Halo style comeback with the morning/afterschool vote. Phew, this turned into a much longer analysis than I thought it would! Well, here's my prediction: Cortana with 50.89% And a secondary prediction if Jo gets some sexy match pic: Jo with 52.08%. But this one doesn't count officially :P Crew Consensus: Majority says Joanna will win, but Lopen and the Guest disagree. It's all up to that wildcard, Cortana. |

I can't believe Cortana's getting consideration here. Even if Xbox
ownership was up there with the Nintendo systems, I still wouldn't take
her over Joanna Dark. The fact that she's a side character on a system
that a good portion of this site still doesn't care about spells doom
for her. Even if Perfect Dark Zero doesn't have any Xbox support (and I
don't think it would against Halo
of all things), it still got a fair amount of hype and limelight, being
the major launch game for the Xbox 360. Enough for even those who
haven't played either of the Perfect Dark games to give her the vote over Cortana. Then looking at that picture... you would HAVE to be a fan of Cortana to vote for him (I am by the way). I know Joanna Dark isn't a powerhouse or anything, but if Cortana escapes a 60-40 beatdown, it's a moral victory. --- Vote for Soma Cruz Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness, Mega Man ZX |

Does Cortana even exist in Halo's multiplayer? It's common sense to
assume that a good portion of MC's strength comes from the fact that
he's the only character you can choose in Halo's multiplayer (and one
of only two you can choose for Halo 2's). --- The Little Mermaid 2-Disc Platinum Edition DVD Coming October 3, 2006 |

| Halo 1's single player is highly praised as a very
immersive experience. I barely played PD's single player but it was
pretty meh to me, and PDZ's campaign is just awful. And I hate to keep bringing this up, but PD is certainly not a single player dominant game so I don't see why the fact that Halo isn't either is a point against Cortana. Also, I highly doubt anyone cares that you play as a Spartan in multiplayer..

PD's single-player campaign is certainly more important to its game
than Halo's is...I mean, there's the variety, secrets, cheats, that
sort of thing...Halo's is just there. There's no reward and very little
sense of accomplishment for completing it, even on Legendary. --- Commit it to memory. |

I think afew characters are projected to land around Yuri, right? Well,
assuming Joanna both didn't get SFF'd last year and PD0 does nothing
for her, Joanna could get 64.35% on Cortana and Cortana would be
dead-even with just Manny. I'll do something cuh-raaaaaaaaaaazy if that happens. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

Uhhh, no. There are people who would vote for Cortana... don't get it
twisted. We're only talking about Joanna Dark here. Cortana may not be
overly popular, but neither is Joanna Dark. There are probably a good
number of Halo fans who will be voting for Cortana. Unfortunately,
that's all
that's going to be voting for her. But I like Cortana a lot. Plus her
role at the end of Halo 2 is pretty intriguing. I'm anxious to see how
it ends up. --- Vote for Soma Cruz Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness, Mega Man ZX |

At least there were the medals in Halo 1, which were cool. Halo 2's was pointless though. --- Moltar Status: Feeling good and hot-blooded. Yuna vs. Roll - Bracket: Yuna - Vote: Yuna (11/12) |

I wonder if Navi would be the weakest Zelda entity in a contest, solely because of all the anti-votes. --- Character Battle V Score - 13/13 points Current Prediction - Joanna Dark vs. Cortana |

Who is the weakest character ever to appear in the character battles based on the stats? *too lazy to check* --- Can't think of a good sig. |

I doubt Navi would do worse than Tingle... ...Actually, come to think of it, she might. >_> --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." http://www.scorehero.com/scores.php?user=2916&diff=4 |

Yuna getting more individual votes than Samus is funny. --- Let the snow fall deep, the rain drive down, and the wind buffet my cloak. I care not for I've a road worth walking ~ Drizzt Do'Urden |

"But Lopen!", you say, "Perfect Dark Zero was released for the X-Box
360! She should have a resurgence!". *Ahem* My dear man, did you just
say X-Box? The same X-Box lives by Halo and Master Chief? You think
they'd dare turn on Master Chief's talking little in helmet hologram
thing for some new chick on the block? … what? They know her name! They
know what she looks like! They would not dare turn on her! She is their
holographic goddess! Our holographic goddess! Once again, Halo's attach rate isn't even that high. The vast majority of Xbox owners don't own a Halo game. Just because PDZ is more popular doesn't negate the fact that Joanna is the main character. After all, Vincent didn't rSFF Squall, did he? --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

Yuna getting more individual votes than Samus is funny. I'm sure that's because Samus's match was the first one. --- Aerith: Who would you go for? Marth, Roy, or Link? If you had to choose. Peach: Link. I'd sooner slap the other two around. Literally. |
