So most of the crew is expecting Riku to do worse than he was expected to prior to KHII? Ok guys, good call.

Also, Riku will lose because of the "I have never lost a point to Kingdom Hearts" factor. <_<

Lopen said what I've been saying/thinking for a while about Yoshi.. only he thinks Yoshi's far more overrated than I do. or he just wants to see an upset. who knows!

I'm calling Squall with, uh, 74.56% of the brackets, and for Yoshi to win with about 57%. *shrugs*

Yesmar, at first I thought your Extreme Scenario 1 was YOSHI winning with 56%...I was like... "WTF, Riku could do better than that." ...but then I read it was Riku. I like this Extreme Scenario idea.

So most of the crew is expecting Riku to do worse than he was expected to prior to KHII? Ok guys, good call.

I say Yoshi was actually underrated by about the amount that Riku boosted from KH2.

I don't think Yoshi's overrated or underrated. Whatever SFF adjustment was put on him was fine.

Squall with 65% of the brackets and Yoshi with 53% of the vote.

yeah it would, because I see no reason why those guys wouldn't be joined at the hip.

what does Yoshi get on Riku pre-KH2 if you assume he goes 54-46 on 2k5 Luigi?

64% on Riku if he gets that much on 2k5 Luigi, and I don't see why he wouldn't.

He wields the blade of a fallen hero, but now he is the hero, and it is the others who fall. He is rising.
cyko | Posted 9/29/2006 8:45:40 PM | message detail
the question is: how much would Yoshi get on Samus? that's what i couldn't quite figure out. i doubt Yoshi could get more than 40% though. and if Yoshi gets 40% on Samus, that puts him at 62.5% on Riku BEFORE KH2. then, you simply take a random number, like 5 - and say that Riku will be boosted up 5 points to finish with 42.5% against Yoshi!!

*shrugs*

that's my best guess. in all honesty, though, nothing between Riku winning with 55% and Yoshi winning with 65% would surprise me much.

AmazingKirby | Posted 9/29/2006 8:45:40 PM | message detail
You expect Riku to lose to Hayabusa before and then get 47% on Yoshi after KHII?

Are we forgetting Sora got 62%? Riku, easily.

dragoontheguy | Posted 9/29/2006 8:51:24 PM | message detail
Am I just tired, or did lopen try to prove that yoshi didn't get sff'd in any of the other three contests he's been in, and that his non adjusted values are accurate by using a non-contest poll? 0_o

Call me crazy, but considring how well he does in non-sff matches, don't you think that's just a bit farfetched lopen? I mean come on.

All this Riku-love here is sickening. Yoshi is far superior!!

I don't think Riku was underrated. I did expect Frog to to better, but Riku would have been owned just as badly against Samus, if not worse.

No, I think he's just saying that MM/Yoshi "exposed" Yoshi for his true self. Link/Yoshi was definitely SFF, and Yoshi/Bowser...it's still unknown what that is.

Okay, I guess that makes a bit more sense, although I think it's pretty evident that nintendo and megaman characters tend to sff each other... and if yoshi was somehow "exposed", that would make luigi's performance last year make even less sense. >_>

If riku has any hope of winning this will have to be under 60% for yoshi by next update as far as I'm concerned. If yoshi gains a stable night lead, nintendo is too strong in the day for him to lose it.
