why would there be something weird going on in Mario / Street Fighter?
the match in 2005 between Bowser and Ryu wasn't really all that weird
to me at all and Kratos through 2k4 Sora predicts this match relatively
well. Ryu hasn't done anything in this match to convince me he's any
stronger than his number in 2k5. --- xyzzy "12 percent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms." - Reuters |

It's possible that Ryu overperformed a bit on Sonic. 42% on Snake to
45% on Sonic does seem kind of odd, now that I look at it... --- Vote for Soma Cruz Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness, Mega Man ZX |

Considering Street Fighter's performance in the series contest, I
highly doubt this site has all of a sudden stopped caring about its
characters and they've dropped off the map. really, RE only has one game of strength on this site. I don't consider 49% on Resisprite Evil to be that impressive. SF's also got the whole history thing on its side in a matchup like that. --- xyzzy "12 percent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms." - Reuters |

really, RE only has one game of strength on this site. Yet it nearly matched Mega Man's performance on Final Fantasy, which really shocked me. Of course it can easily be said that MM has no games of strength on this site, but whatever... --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

I've seen people suggest it. I personally think it's a silly idea and that 2005 Ryu is equal to 2006 Ryu.. I'm not sure why you would ever get the idea that Ryu would be much weaker than his 2005 value. Kratos doing this well has nothing to do with Ryu at all, really. --- "Master using it and you can have this." http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/160/masterjg3.jpg |

no way do I take SF over Kingdom Hearts or Castlevania. I'd hesitate before I took it over Mega Man X or Metroid as well. blah, the series contest just feels so useless. being a top ten series doesn't mean you're a top 10-20 game on this site.

sorry if I was confusing. I was saying that there's nothing weird about Ryu's 2k5 value and that Ryu 2k5 = Ryu 2k6. assuming this ends at 57/43 (it might go lower) and Ryu 2k5 = Ryu 2k6, Kratos is at 25.78%, above unadjusted Sora. heh. --- xyzzy "12 percent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms." - Reuters |

With 6 hours left, Kratos was at 42%. In another hour he shaved off almost 1/3 of a percent...hit that 43%, Kratos! I didn't realize that Ryu had a new game right around the time of Sonic/Ryu. I have thought about the idea of him over-performing for no apparent reason, since both KOS-MOS and Ryu were lower in value in their surrounding years. Not that it HAS to be the case, of course. Still sounds better than other weird theories. But, I guess it doesn't matter at this point. If anything, Kratos is showing that Ryu is still around 30% on BL, though we obviously don't know for sure at this point. --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

You know, I HOPE that Ryu was underrated in 2k5 and he somehow
underperformed against Bowser. I don't care what it does for Kratos...

This match has 52 updates remaining. If Kratos simply gains 0.01% per
update, he will hit 43% by the match's end. Of course, the occasional
big cut will certainly help things along. --- The Little Mermaid 2-Disc Platinum Edition DVD Coming October 3, 2006 |

right? That would be nice. Yuna losing to her would be the highlight of

I'm thinking that Ryu will be able to slow this down enough in the
remaining hours to hold onto 57%. He should stall a lot more heading
into the night and may even gain in percentage here and there. This
second night vote should be more reflective of last night than what we
just saw, which was absolute domination by Kratos!! --- "Master using it and you can have this." http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/160/masterjg3.jpg |

about all we get. --- xyzzy "12 percent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms." - Reuters |

I dunno watching this match really makes me question the possibility of
a chun-yuna upset. I mean Square is known for the night vote when would
chun have any advantage i mean during the day shes gonna bleed
percentage. My votes with Chun but after the series i thought Ryu would
be stronger then this or has Kratos just gotten this good? --- "I'll do it with my magic!" Tellah-Final Fantasy 4 |

I wonder what kind of damage Kratos will be able to do in the next

it probably won't be delayed beyond the contest. --- That... was her final mission. And like a true soldier, she saw it through to the end. ZSB [aX] |

I'll probably put him at Alucard level, a bit higher (you know, assuming Alucard hasn't dropped since then and all). It's certainly impressive, especially considering how new of a character he is. And it's not like he doesn't have a core fanbase -- two 3 seeds in a row, especially in this contest, is great. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Kratos should be a beast after God of War
II. If he's able to perform this well with just one game under his
belt, he has some insane potential with a second. After GoW2, I would
expect to see GoW3 sometime on the PS3, too. Kratos is probably someone we'll see shoot up through the ranks very quickly. Him reaching Dante's level in the near future isn't impossible, I don't think. --- "Master using it and you can have this." http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/160/masterjg3.jpg |

by "new blood", I mean a character that's actually new, not just new to
the contest. how many characters from 2000 and after do we have? we've
got the FF10/KH guys, Master Chief, Dante and Kratos. am I missing
anybody? Tommy and CJ I guess, both of which are midcarders at best. --- xyzzy "12 percent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms." - Reuters |

You could make an argument for people like Ada Wong and Leon Kennedy

all of those characters are from sequels though - God of War is a new
franchise. of course the next FF character that comes along is going to
be at least a midcarder. same with Zelda or whatever. Kratos, Dante and
Master Chief are pretty much it for brand new characters with some
strength. eh, I'm looking into this too much. it doesn't really matter. --- xyzzy "12 percent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms." - Reuters |

I reallly have no faith in The Boss right now. She certainly impressed
against Celes, but I have a feeling she's just going to collapse
against Tifa. Sadly enough. Kratos is not only a new character, he's from a new game though, which is the really impressive thing. Honestly, we all knew the FF10 characters weren't going to be fodder. KH basically feeds a lot off of that FF fanbase. Tingle is Zelda, The Boss is MGS, etc. So it's basically Master Chief, Dante, and Kratos. And the only real contender of the bunch is Dante. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Unfortunately, we won't even get to see Dante challenging Mega Man or

He is a member of the noble 9 and like the other members that are in it Mega Man also has a good chance at taking the male side of the bracket. Axel is from the Kingdom Hearts series. He is the most popular member of Organization XIII and is a big fan favorite among Kingdom Hearts fans. When the bracket was first released I was surprised to see that Axel made the bracket, especially when only 32 males could have made it. Like all first round matches against a noble 9 Mega Man shouldn’t have too much of a hard time beating Axel, but where does Axel rank. By looking at the board you can tell that he is a fan favorite among fans of Kingdom Hearts and would probably be able to beat Ansem and Kairi in a favorite poll, but that doesn’t mean he would be stronger than them indirectly. In the end Kairi will probably out rank Axel unless there some SFF between Rikku and Kairi; as for Ansem Axel might be able to outrank him. I’m expecting Axel to do better than Conker, but it probably won’t be that much better. I think Mega Man has the power to triple Axel though he should be able to break 70% on him. charmander6000’s Bracket: Mega Man over Axel charmander6000’s Prediction: Mega Man wins, 75.06% - 24.94% --- "I was trying to escape.
