I'd have to get behind the badass Octoroks. If this happened it would come with the requirement of having the audio of link saying "I'm so hungry I could eat an octorok!" from thathorrible cd-i zelda looping on the main page continually through the match. >_> --- When D...

We need to come up with 32 different generic characters and make a bracket with them. It'd be so much better than paying attention to the remaining two female matches. --- "Master using it and you can have this." http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/160/masterjg3.jpg |

this contest has gotten so dull that i've actually resorted to... *GASP* - PLAYING video games!!! I might get back to playing star ocean 3, but the fact that 8 hours in I realized i accidently turned off battle trophys by button mashing my way through the useless tutorial (why does every other rpg I play these days insist on having a mandatory tutorial? >_>). I'm currently debating if I should start over and trudge through the first few dull hours of the game or not for them. >_< I know that's incredibly off topic, but meh, this female bracket is horrid anyways. --- When D...

Most Mario fans don't care about Goombas What? Am I wrong? In my experience, Mario fans focus more on other characters, like Bowser. Besides, there are far cooler Mario enemies than Goombas, like Chain Chomps, Bullet Bills, Boos, Bob-ombs, etc. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

and btw, i just beat Beyond Good and Evil. a friend of mine actually
owns it, so i borrowed it and i must say that it was a really good
game. it's like Metal Gear Solid with a camera and a talking pig
sidekick. i also really liked Jade's character. she was worth a spot in
this lousy bracket. i really don't understand how i missed this game
before or why it never sold. it really is a quality game! --- i have officially been Z1mZum'D in the guru contest. Vincent Valentine to win the Blast Division!! |

Match XV: (3) Chun-Li vs. (6) Kasumi Contest History Chun-Li Summer 2005 Lost to Bowser, 34.10% - 65.90% Ranked: 31st Kasumi Summer 2002 Lost to Aeris Gainsborough, 37.27% - 62.73% Ranked: 25th Analysis: Chun-Li is from the Street Fighter series and was one of the first playable female characters ever. Last year she did around what the board expected, being somewhere between Ken and M. Bison. Kasumi is from the Dead or Alive series. We haven’t seen her since 2k2 where she lost in an expected seed upset. If we only look at the percents that the characters got in their matches you would think this match would be very close with both Bowser and Aeris not being that far in strength. The problem is that Aeris/Kasumi happened way back in 2k2 before Aeris got her boost (although small compare to other Square characters) in 2k3. Also fighting characters as a whole have gotten weaker since 2k2 so Kasumi is most likely not to be stronger than what she was back in 2k2. Though since 2k2 Kasumi did have some games released with Dead or Alive 4 being released back in December so she probably won’t fall off the map as bad as the other fighters did. In short Chun-Li is from a more popular fighting series than Kasumi and should have no problems winning. Unlike what some people think I think Kasumi has a great chance at breaking 40% in this match and I also think she could avoid the doubling. charmander6000’s Bracket: Chun-Li over Kasumi charmander6000’s Prediction: Chun-Li wins, 60.94% - 39.06% --- "I was trying to escape. Obviously, it didn't work." - President Bush |

I just found this poll: Poll 2038 (06/21/2005) Who's the strongest female fighter of all time? 22300 43.84% Chun Li (Street Fighter) 8199 16.12% Kasumi (Dead or Alive) 10906 21.44% Ivy (Soul Calibur) 6858 13.48% Sonya (Mortal Kombat) 2608 5.13% Xiaoyu (Tekken) If you take away all of the votes not for Chun Li or Kasumi, you get Chun Li winning with 73.12%! Probably won't be anywhere near accurate, but humerous nonetheless. --- For the sake of simplicity, I'm going to refer to Gordon Freeman versus Tanner as Schrodinger's Match. -Phoenix Flattener |

Well it doesn't help that Chun-Li and Sonya Blade were the only 2D
fighter females on the poll. And... well, people haven't cared about
Sonya blade in years. Whereas the 3d fighters were splot between 3 characters --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

I keep projecting it actually, because my oracle pick is so close.
Based on the percentages for the past hour, and assuming it gets 7000
more votes, it will end 60.06 to 39.94. --- Take off every sig. |

because Kasumi's far stronger than Roll and Chun-Li's not stronger than

would be a lot closer. --- xyzzy |

Aeon Division: Round 1 - Match 15 – (3)Chun-Li vs. (6)Kasumi Moltar’s Analysis Chun-Li Game/Series Known From: Street Fighter Extrapolated Rank in 2005 31st (22.84%) Seed in 2005: 6 Lost in 2005 to Bowser in Round 1 It’s good to see Thunda Thighs back in the Contest, seeing as how she’s actually decent in strength. Kasumi Game/Series Known From: Dead or Alive Extrapolated Rank in 2002 25th (22.82%) Seed in 2002: 6 Lost in 2002 to Aeris in Round 1 Back from the grave known as the 2002 Contest, it’s DoA Girl #32! This match would be interesting….if Kasumi was still the fighter she was back in 2002 that is. I’m going to go out on a limb and say she isn’t. Chun-Li on the other hand, put up a good fight against Bowser just last year. This should be an easy match for Chun-Li. In fact, Kasumi doesn’t even deserve to be in this Contest. I can think of so many others to take her place, preferably a male. A strong male character who was wrongfully pushed to the side to let characters like Kasumi into this Contest. I think this calls for another edition of… Real Men, Real Snubs - Magus and Frog Chrono Trigger. A game about 6 people outside of GameFAQs have played. But who cares about what goes on outside GameFAQs. Chrono Trigger is big here, and that’s all that matters. *Shot of Magus and Frog in fighting stances* With the success of Crono in 2002, Magus was nominated by the masses in 2003. He did not disappoint either. After an easy win over Sam “Solid Snake Lite” Fisher, he took on his first worthy advisary, Ganondorf. The Black Wind howled all day as the two fought hard, but in the end, it was Magus who came out as the victor. Magus then went on to face another Zelda character, Link. The Vegeta-faced guy might have lost, but still put up an impressive 35% on Link. He had become a Contest elite, even ranking above Sonic in the end. *Shot of Magus going toe-to-toe with Link* While 2003 was the year of Magus, 2004 was the year of Frog. Magus didn’t have much to show besides an easy Round 1 victory and a defeat at the hands of his Chrono Trigger companion, Crono. Frog was the talk of 2004, predicted to have easy victories over Liquid Snake and Master Chief, and a loss to Solid Snake. Frog/Liquid kicked off, and became a classic. The two went back and forth all day, lead swaps and all, but Frog won in the end in a close one. If you didn’t think it could get better after that, you were wrong. Frog/Master Chief became one of the most remembered matches in Contest history. A battle that ensued all day, and even until the final seconds of the poll. Ye Olde Amphibian won the match by only 7 votes in the closest match in Contest history. The Green Swordsman then received nearly 49% of the vote on Solid Snake, giving him the praise for that year. *Shot of Frog doing some sword action* But where are they now? Not in this Contest that’s for sure. Was it Magus’ choke against Knuckles that kept him from returning? Was it Frog’s bombing against Riku and Samus that left him in the dust? Can we blame it, just like all the problems in the world, on the female bracket? Whoever to blame, it’s a shame that such fine competitors, marred by one horrible year for any CT character not in the title, are forced to sit on the sidelines this Contest *Shot of Magus and Frog frowning in a lone spotlight* Magus. Frog. Real men, and real snubs Moltar’s Bracket Says: Chun-Li will win. Moltar’s Prediction is: Chun-Li: 64% - Kasumi: 36%. Ulti’s Analysis This match REEKS of fighting game chick SFF. I also don't give a crap about DoA, so I'll take the lazy way out like I always do! <3 |
