For Round 2, we have Jill/Peach and that's about it. It still will not nearly as bad as this has been. The entire Patriot Division is going to be like a dream after this female half. There's only maybe one debatable match in that division, too. Seeing Samus/Ada or Aeris/KOS-MOS will be significantly better than Ada/Jade or Joanna/Cortana. --- "Master using it and you can have this." http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/160/masterjg3.jpg |

We will only have to put up with two more female matches. Then the male bracket kicks off with Snake/Soma! It's funny and sad at the same time that an 8 seed like Soma could beat over half the female bracket. --- Character Battle V Score - 13/13 points Current Prediction - Joanna Dark vs. Cortana |

Three of the male 8 seeds could probably beat half the female bracket. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." http://www.scorehero.com/scores.php?user=2916&diff=4 |

By that token, a 7 seed named Zero could take on 3/4 of the male bracket and 7/8 of the female bracket <_< TuRtLe ~~~ I used my brain and statistics to make my bracket. Karma Hunter used MGS fanboyism. KH won. Commit it to memory. |

Hey, a female bracket had to be done eventually. Better in 2006 than 2016. Right? >_> --- caps |

You're all so hateful here, joanna/cortana is a funny matchup, I don't
care if it's particularly exciting or not. Cortana is pretty funny in
her game, but I guess, this is me being okay with characters I like
versing each other, even if they suck strengthwise. --- Revenge is a dish best served by Z1mZum in the 2k6 Series Guru Contest. |

I think this is most people not caring about either character combined
with it being boring and then combined again with knowing both of them
suck strength-wise. --- "Master using it and you can have this." http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/160/masterjg3.jpg |

If this female bracket was only on its own, i dont even think we could

run for. --- 11 days!Can't wait for the raising of the western conference champs banner. Lovin Oil Country. |

For all the **** I've heard about Joanna/Cortana, it's been infinitely
more interesting that Ada/Jade. It's gonna be much closer, and at least
most of us have heard of both of them before whereas many of us didn't
know either Ada or Jade. Throw in there that Joanna could be stronger
than Ada and Cortana WILL be stronger than Jade, and there's no reason
to be ripping into it far more than that match. Still gonna be fairly boring outside of the hopefully-cool school-vote though, heh...but other than that, Joanna/Cortana >>> Ada/Jade. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

I just think if you're truly "casual" you have no idea who the hell
Cortana is. Oh wait Joanna Dark, well hey 4 is greater than 5 surely
people can grasp that. Seriously I was never much for Halo, are
transparent blobs what pass for females these days? --- Should I start running now? |
| transience | Posted 9/24/2006 9:27:36 PM | message detail |

yep, I agree. Jade is just grade a uber-fodder. Cortana can only hope to accomplish that. --- iddqd "MY SLEEPING PATTERNS ARE SHOT THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR FANFICTION" -windmage |
