It's not like Kasumi ever had a chance anyway, even WITH DoA4. However,
I wouldn't be surprised if Kasumi does better than everyone thinks. and
by this I mean break 40%. Prediction: Chun-Li with 59.99% HM’s Analysis Hey, two females facing each other that we have actual data on! These two female fighting characters have both made their presence known in these contests before – Kasumi in 2002 and Chun-Li in 2005. Both of them were pretty impressive in their respective years, but there is a definite nod to Chun-Li in this match. Thunder Thighs comes from the most popular fighting game series, Street Fighter, and Kasumi comes from Dead or Alive. It’s really a no-brainer there who is already at an advantage – but there’s more! In 2002, Kasumi clocked in at 22.85% on Base Link while Chun-Li came in at 24.92% on Base Link. If I had to guess, I would wager that Kasumi has definitely dropped off the map over the past couple of years, so this should match should really never come into question. Chunners should be able to take this one with ease. Aitch Emm’s Bracket: Chun-Li Aitch Emm’s Prediction: Chun-Li – 60% ; Kasumi – 40% Aitch Emm’s Vote: Chun-Li Yoblazer’s Analysis My god, Chun-Li looks so awesome in the pic. Kasumi doesn't look bad, but the picture doesn't really accentuate her enormous TJF, so there goes about 800% of her vote. Seriously, though, folks... *realizes that no one is laughing* Bunch of bastards. Anyway, this match is another one that belongs in the "tough to gauge because we have very little information" category. Both of these lovely ladies have only been in one match (both losses), but the matches are three years apart. It's very shakey information, but NGamer's X-Stats calculator says that Chun wins this with a little over 54% of the vote. I think Kasumi migh have slightly been overrated in 2002 (boobs = votes). Also, there might be some slight female fighting character SFF to deal with here, so I think Chun-Li will overshoot that percentage. I'm guessing this one ends up in the standard 60/40 Snake/Knuckles range. My prediction: Chun-Li def. Kasumi (59-41) Lopen’s Analysis So I'm looking at the 2002 X-Stats, and they seem to imply that Kasumi might not be fodder. Well, we know how jacked up those things are (I'm looking at you, Claire! Way to flop into foddersville!). Thanks, but no thanks. As far as the fighting game pecking order goes, if you're not from Street Fighter and you're not from Mortal Kombat, you might as well just go home (or Guilty Gear… Ky Kiske = 39% on Base Link… what?). Chun Li is from Street Fighter, Kasumi isn't, that's all there is to it. Dead or Alive 4 isn't going to help, Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball isn't gonna help. I'm about getting bored with the female half… sorry… you've gotta forgive my lack of enthusiasm…please? Lopen's Prediction: Chun Li with 68.99% KH’s Analysis lol x-stats history Chun-Li Summer 2005 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 34th Place [22.84%] A Street Fighter character that happens to be a midcarder? I'm shocked, truly shocked! Though thanks to the female bracket, she escapes the fate of Ken and has the potential now of M. Bison in the Villains Contest. Come to think of it, if she can upset Yuna, Chun-Li will have made it farther in a bracket than any SF character. Including Ryu. ...damn. Kasumi Summer 2002 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 25th Place [22.82%] |

Also benefitting from the female bracket is Kasumi, although instead of
enjoying the rewards of winnable matches she's just plain happy to be
in the field again. Though her showing in 2002 is now in retrospect
more or less respectable, back then she was just another 'one-and-done'
character that 2002's field would be infamous for. Unlike the other long-running 2k2 absentee Claire Redfield, Kasumi is up against tested competition in her first match. Her big goal here isn't winning ('cause that ain't happening), but to give the 2k2 stats a smidge of credibility. Getting 45% or so would do wonders for that, even though people might blame the Snake/Bowser nonsense on such an 'underperformance'... Notable Releases Since Last Appearance Chun-Li: N/A Kasumi: Dead or Alive XTreme Beach Volleyball (XBox), Dead or Alive 4 (X360) Upcoming Releases Chun-Li: N/A Kasumi: N/A However, Kasumi will be doing good to break 40% here. Really good. Claire's already shown her 2k2 value to be all but false against Kairi, and Kasumi's primed to follow suit. Then there's the fact that SF > DoA, the fact that Kasumi's not the most popular character from her own game ('sup, Hayabusa), and that I'd probably take Chun-Li over Ryu H. myself...Kasumi just doesn't have much luck here. Cortana, Kerrigan, Jade, there'd be a ton of matches she could have won here. Welcome back, I suppose -- and don't let the door hit you on the way out. <_< Karma Hunter's Vote: Thunder Thighs. Why? Well, the fact that I just called her "Thunder Thighs", for one. =/ Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Chun-Li with 63.74%. This is a percent higher than Aeris got in 2002. Even with "lol 2k2 stats", I don't feel comfortable going any higher. Upset Potential: 4.2% Y'know, just looking at the stats and taking Kasumi's new games into account, this ain't a bad upset. Still not happening. Upset Prediction: Kasumi with 51.51% Guest’s Analysis - MrPatch Projected Winner: Chun Li This match, to me anyway, is pretty clear. First we have Chun Li of Street Fighter fame. To put it simply, she is a Chinese girl with thighs that can probably crush boulders. Oh yeah, she’s supposed to kick your ass too. Her opponent is Kasumi, a ninja who along with most of the female cast of the Dead or Alive series, has breasts the size of Barry Bond’s fat head. She is also made to kick ass. However, no matter the amount of kickassery both of these ladies have, they have a pretty bad shot at getting past what seems to be a mini-powerhouse in Yuna (blame the Final Fantasy hax) being in their division. Now let’s get into the match itself. This isn’t going to be a blow out of any sort, but it will be a decent win. Street Fighter itself gives Chun-Li the advantage as it probably is the more popular game on the site. I don’t even remember DoA characters even doing remotely well in a contest so I think this match should be an easy decision for you bracket voters. Chun Li probably takes this in about a 53-47 split. I just don’t see Kasumi doing anything going up against Chun Li. Maybe if TJF actually kicked in for once. Crew Consensus: We have Chun-Li winning. Low-to-mid 60's seems to be the average. |

because Kasumi's far stronger than Roll and Chun-Li's not stronger
than Yuna. if they weren't both fighting game characters I'd think this
would be a lot closer. Correction: Kasumi was stronger than Roll. If that match were to happen today, I bet it'd actually be pretty damn close. Chun-Li will get a tonne of votes based solely on the fact that she's as easily recognizable as Ryu (the good one) TuRtLe ~~~ I used my brain and statistics to make my bracket.

I am certain Kasumi takes care of Roll without a problem. I'm not
worried about that, at all. She ought to do well against Chun-Li,
though not really be in contention to win. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

Turtle seems to think if he's never heard of a character before a match
that no one else has either, therefore it follows that they must be fodder of the worst kind. lol Celes/Boss --- Commit it to memory. |

Hopefully so, probably not -- the vote totals are just a little bit
better than Terra/Kerrigan and Joanna/Terra and Cortana/Kerrigan are
comparable, so it shouldn't have been too big of a stretch for this
match to hit 100,000 considering Terra/Kerrigan had 99,063. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

i dunno, Harrich. i'm expecting Kasumi to barely pass 30%. this is the
worst possible matchup she could've gotten. she's up against another
fighting game female who is certainly more popular. this match has SFF
written all over it, no matter where Kasumi lies. besides that, our
only info on Kasumi is from one of the earliest 2002 matches. i take
her match against Aeris with a grain of salt. i will be very surprised to see Kasumi avoid the doubling. --- i have officially been Z1mZum'D in the guru contest. Vincent Valentine to win the Blast Division!! |

Even if Kasumi goes that low or even lower, I still have no problem
with her smashing Roll and just chalk her match with Chun-Li as an
anomaly of some sort. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

ok, that part i do agree with. i'd most likely take Kasumi over Roll. i
