I can't imagine the FF fanbase preferring Yuna to Tidus, though...man,
maybe I should play FFX-2. I really have a hard time seeing her that
close to him. And if Kirby overperformed any on Bowser it makes it that much worse for her... --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Sora (2004c) VS Gordon Freeman (2005c) Sora has a strength of 28.93. Gordon Freeman has a strength of 22.78. Sora wins with 60.63% of the vote! I say Sora gets 63%. --- Z1mZum won the Guru Contest. I picked Pokemon over Metroid, GTA over Warcraft, Halo over CV, Street Fighter over RE, and FF over Zelda. |

away. Last year though? No chance. There's no way I push Yuna up above
Leon Kennedy to get her close enough to Tidus. Her getting 35% on Mega
Man? Psh. --- Squall Leonhart's Road to the Character Battle V Championship: Round 1: Status of Tidus - LIONHEART'D |

god, I cannot wait for Ganon vs. Vincent. a year of speculation (maybe
more?) will be over and done with. of course, from there we'll have to
gauge boosts and all that, but at least this Ganon is overrated / Ganon
is underrated stuff will go away. --- xyzzy "12 percent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms." - Reuters |

I can't imagine the FF fanbase preferring Yuna to Tidus,
though...man, maybe I should play FFX-2. I really have a hard time
seeing her that close to him. It's really not hard to imagine people preferring Yuna to Tidus after FFX and FFX-2. Tidus wasn't exactly the most likable character around. Not to say that Yuna was filled to the brim with likability, but the two should be rather close to each other. --- "Master using it and you can have this." http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/160/masterjg3.jpg |

though? No chance. There's no way I push Yuna up above Leon Kennedy to
get her close enough to Tidus. Her getting 35% on Mega Man? Psh. Yeah. Axel isn't pushing 30% on Mega Man right now or anything. 35% for Yuna isn't hard to believe at all. And putting Yuna slightly above Leon's level doesn't really bother me too much. It's not like Yuna would have a hard time facing Leon. --- "Master using it and you can have this." http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/160/masterjg3.jpg |

Yeah. Axel isn't pushing 30% on Mega Man right now or anything. 35% for Yuna isn't hard to believe at all The difference between 30 and 35% results in a 57/43 match. It's not that close together. Yuna gets maybe 33% on Mega Man at best. --- Squall Leonhart's Road to the Character Battle V Championship: Round 1: Status of Tidus - LIONHEART'D |

Match XXV: (1) Sonic the Hedgehog vs. (8) CATS Contest History Sonic the Hedgehog Summer 2002 Defeated Pitfall Harry, 82.44% - 17.56% Defeated Tidus, 58.83% - 41.17% Lost to Samus Aran, 49.98% - 50.02% Ranked: 5th Summer 2003 Defeated Ken Masters, 68.91% - 31.09% Defeated Zero, 52.34% - 47.66% Defeated Aeris Gainsborough, 53.02% - 46.98% Lost to Cloud Strife, 33.79% - 66.21% Ranked: 10th Summer 2004 Defeated Terry Bogard, 80.84% - 19.16% Defeated Ryu, 55.54% - 44.46% Defeated Dante Sparda, 62.03% - 37.97% Lost to Samus Aran, 42.49% - 57.51% Ranked: 7th Summer 2005 Defeated Jin Kazama, 76.15% - 23.85% Defeated Diablo, 68.55% - 31.45% Defeated Tifa Lockhart, 56.40% - 43.60% Lost to Mega Man, 49.63% - 50.37% Ranked: 7th CATS Summer 2002 Lost to Ryu, 19.21% - 80.79% Ranked: 47th Summer 2003 Lost to Cloud Strife, 13.09% - 86.91% Ranked: 56th Summer 2004 Lost to Link, 12.17% - 87.83% Ranked: 53rd Spring 2005 Lost to Ansem, 45.96% - 54.04% Ranked: 15th Summer 2005 Lost to Master Chief, 31.17% - 68.83% Ranked: 46th Analysis: Sonic is from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Sonic is yet another member of the noble nine and like the rest of the members he has a good chance at taking the male side of the bracket. Unlike Snake Sonic doesn’t have to rely on a boost to take the bracket as he is much closer to the favorite than he is. CATS is from Zero Wing, but since over 90% of his fans know him and love him from the All Your Base fad that is where he gets most of his strength from. Both of these characters have been in every single character contest and by just looking at the rankings you can tell which character is going to win. CATS is the last remaining character to have never won a match and from the looks of it he probably won’t ever win. The one thing that CATS does have going for it is the face picture. During the villains and 2k5 contest CATS did much better against his opponent than what his full shot projected him to get. Though with that said I think Sonic would perform better than what the stats say he would because last year CATS was up against Master Chief. Xbox hate may have died down since it was released, but it still exists somewhat and Master Chief always likes to let weaker characters do well against him and then turns around and does well against respected characters. The Blast Division has two very easy matches in it and this is one of them. 80% doesn’t look to farfetched and if he does fail to triple him then he will be a huge underdog to take the bracket and he won’t be looking so hot against the winner of Ganondorf/Vincent. charmander6000’s Bracket: Sonic the Hedgehog over CATS charmander6000’s Prediction: Sonic wins, 78.68% - 21.32% --- "I was trying to escape.

Hmm yeah Ganon/Vincent isn't over until Sonic puts away the victor. And
let's just see if we can have Sonic underperform so we can hear even
more about it. Oh and I'm starting to think the plan will be for Auron
to do so well there's gonna be Auron>Crono talk a la Squall>Snake. --- Should I start running now? |
| Karma Hunter | Posted 10/5/2006 5:57:30 PM | message detail |

Auron > Crono is the silent KH2 upset. If Ganondorf = Bowser, Crono
wins against Auron with around 58% or so, right? Well, Link beat
Sephiroth with 57% in 2k2 (and should have beat him by more if you
believe in WDF), yet Sephy boosted up to Base Link thanks to KH. If you
think KH2 will work wonders for Auron, the upset isn't impossible... --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

I can imagine it now. Ganondorf winning with less than 2000 votes and
then it turns out that 65% of the brackets had him as the winner. OMG BRACKET VICTORY --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

Meh, if Crono can take care of Vincent, I'm not too worried about Auron actually winning. To tell you the truth, I'd be brimming with confidence if Squall or Auron were facing off against Ganondorf. DoC isn't a proven force like KH2 is, even if Vincent beats Ganon I won't be surprised to see him end up behind both of 'em. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

That doesn't necessarily take away from the fact that Sora very likely boosted quite a bit from KH2. What that does say is that Zelda is still insanely impressive despite KH2 being around. --- "Master using it and you can have this." http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/160/masterjg3.jpg |

the thing with Auron > Crono is that, even with the AC leak, Crono
beat Vincent without much trouble and Vincent was most likely stronger
than Auron in 2k5. FF10 is not going to be able to pull any potential
rSFF like FF7 might have. you're basically relying on a HUGE KH2 boost,
which while not impossible is pretty improbable. Squall is already
stronger than Auron and Crono is stronger than Snake. --- xyzzy "12 percent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms." - Reuters |

Well, do remember that KH2 is Auron's first KH appearance. He'll be getting something closer to the full KH1 boost than Squall will. Though I concede that Auron > Crono almost inevitably means Squall > Snake beforehand. =( --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

There's only been three instances in which any Zelda character has
failed to break 40%. One was Link/Ganondorf. One was Zelda/Mega Man,
and Zelda just barely missed 40%. The third is Sora/Tingle. It may be
"****ing TINGLE", but a tripling of ANY Zelda character here on
ZeldaFAQs is very impressive. --- That... was her final mission. And like a true soldier, she saw it through to the end. ZSB [aX] |

Forgive me if I consider 30% on Mega Man more impressive than 25% on Sora! But isn't this some crazy indicator of a KH2 boost? You all seem to have jumped on the "OMG LARGE KH2 BOOST -- LIKE SQUALL > SNAKE, AURON > CRONO" and considering Sora would be the main beneficiary of a KH2 boost, Tingle being able to get around 25% is certainly impressive considering who he is!! --- "Master using it and you can have this." http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/160/masterjg3.jpg |

a KH2 boost, Tingle being able to get around 25% is certainly
impressive considering who he is!! I'm singling out KH2 as a whole, as Axel is clearly a KH2 beast and not much more.
