Ooh...62.5%...maybe Auron -can- continue his trends with getting 64-65% on mid-carders by the end of this. Okay...because of Castlevania looking good in the series contest, I won't assume Alucard dropped. Plus, Alucard had a horrible pic last year in his loss, making me wonder if he under-performed slightly, anway... So... to compare Auron's performance to Sora's, if Auron ends at 63%, Auron would beat Sora of last year with 58.56%, or Kratos of last year with 67.08%...that's 10 percent better than what Ryu managed. Assuming Ryu, Bowser, and Kratos didn't change that means Auron beats Ryu with 61.63%, or Auron beats Bowser with 53.23%. That's without having to go through Sora/Snake or Bowser/Snake... Take note of Kratos possibly boosting a bit, and some of my own pessimism, and I figure Bowser/Auron is a 50/50 match. --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

Yeah, Bowser/Auron is extremely debatable. Good to see a bunch of Square characters (Squall/Vincent/Auron) looking like they could challenge or beat the non-top tier Nintendo characters (Bowser/Ganon/Zelda). And maybe Luigi's gone closer to that second group, which is where he should've been from the start. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

characters (Bowser/Ganon/Zelda). And maybe Luigi's gone closer to that
second group, which is where he should've been from the start. Agreed. I hate to see Tifa omitted from that list of Square near-elites though. She hasn't really had a chance to prove it yet, but she should have boosted a lot from an already respectable position (KH2+AC). I can see her beating Zelda, at least. Aeris might be up there as well. --- CB: 29/30. Today: Auron vs. Alucard. Tomorrow: Master Chief vs. Sub-Zero. |

I think I forgot Tifa because I think of the others having possibly
boosted this year. Yeah, Tifa and Aeris are near the top for Square. I
think Auron/Vincent/Squall might each be above them now though (unless
Tifa went up due to KH2, but she had a really forgettable role in that
right?). I think Bowser/Ganon would still be favored over Tifa/Aeris,
whereas they'd be 50/50 or the underdogs vs. Auron/Squall/Vincent. The
girls are probably just a teensy bit behind the boys. I didn't realize that tomorrow was the last match of the 1st round. Amazing how fast the male bracket has gone by. The female half seemed to drag on forever. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

nice work Haste, but Kratos has most likely increased. it would be hard
to justify it otherwise with the amount of new sales his game has done.
how much? I don't know, 2% or something. that's a pure guess. this will likely rise when the afterschool vote comes in an hour plus, too. --- xyzzy |

I thought Aeris/Zelda was more or less a toss-up before the contest,
and I still think that. Maybe a slight edge to Zelda, though I picked
Aeris. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Yep, that's why I was saying Auron/Bowser would be more like 50/50,
heh. I have kind of a theory going on, though, which suggests Kratos
hardly boosted at all...it's interesting how well everything's fit in
with it, but I'm not going to rely on it wholly. --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

oh and I have no problem with Auron being on Bowser's level really... I
maintain that Auron's got a better chance at beating Crono than Bowser
does. 50/50 sounds fine to me considering his first role in KH. --- xyzzy |

| While the first round isn't usually indicative of much, I'd definitely give the edge to Square thus far, especially in the male half of the bracket. Riku performed respectably, Axel broke 30%, Vincent won comfortably, and Auron is kicking ass. Since there's only one debated Nintendo/Square match left (Zelda/Aeris), I'm not sure if you can label this contest as a "Year of ______" unless something very unexpected happens (say, Cloud winning or Link kicking the crap out of Cloud). |

"^He was one of the two main characters in RE2." But he was the Male lead, which is about half as good (or less) as being the Female lead. I'm most people only remember Chris because Claire talked about him, and people only remember Leon because he got a secodn shot at Stardom. Put Leon in the 2k2 contest and he bottom feeds on a Kasumi level, maybe lower. Claire would've prolly doubled him without SFF. --- If B8 were any more like the WWE I'd be getting paid for this message. If you mark someone for flaming/trolling, you probably deserved it. |

Actually, I take back my theory saying that Kratos didn't boost...I
guess Kratos, Alucard, and Sora could've been slightly weaker than I
would've originally guessed. --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

I think Bowser/Ganon would still be favored over Tifa/Aeris, whereas they'd be 50/50 or the underdogs vs. Auron/Squall/Vincent. Ganon IS the underdog when facing Vincent and Squall as far as I am concerned. I used to think Bowser > Ganondorf until yesterday... now I dont know. KB |

I think I'd Ganondorf over Bowser at this point. I might actually take
Squall over Bowser, too. I wouldn't have even dreamed of the latter
inequality before this contest, so...we'll see how things go in the
later rounds. --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

Wow... this match is absolutely shocking me. Even though I think
Auron is underrated last year, this is still far exceeding my
expectations. Auron 2K5 doesn't even break 52% on Alucard 2K4 using lol
x-stats, yet he's absolutely dominating right now. This only lends more
credence to the Vincent > Sonic train, though Sonic's still the
favorite, it's making me definitely think Ganon and Auron are
underrated last year, which makes Vincent's win even more powerful. Give it up, EC. KHF happened. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

It sucks that Magus didn't get in this year (not as much as Knuckles
not getting in, though). He's projected to score over 45% on Squall,
which is still fairly strong. I know he was an overrated bust, and all,
but still. Even putting him in Tingle's spot could have made for a
somewhat debatable 1/8 (though I'd still probably take Sora). Putting
him in place of Riku, Ryu H, Kratos, and probably a few more would also
have been interesting. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz AC2K6 Score: 28/29 Today: Bowser |

(unless Tifa went up due to KH2, but she had a really forgettable role in that right?). Nah, that would be Aeris. Tifa's role is rather cool, and she plays a part in the Sephiroth sidequest as well. But I don't see what the problem is with Leon Kennedy being a high midtier character drawing primarily from one game. We've got plenty of those from Final Fantasy. Leon can't do it because he's not an RPG character? I might actually take Squall over Bowser, too.

<Ah, OK. Was it a large role? Anyway, two RE games shouldn't
compare to being the villain in some of the greatest games ever (SMB,
SMB3, SMW, SM64). You could say that about a lot of characters. Why should Vincent, an optional character in an RPG, be able to be even near someone as iconic as Bowser?

and Bowser underperforming on Leon was more Leon boosting than anything else. Or...it could be a combination of BOTH!

Auron impressing implies that KH2 characters did in fact boost,
which means that a smaller Nintendo boost is indeed possible (lol
luigi) and Bowser underperforming on Leon was more Leon boosting than
anything else. You're really stretching things there. I love the idea of Nintendo characters boosting again, but as of now there is little evidence to point to that. Certain Nintendo characters have looked impressive, but nothing yet to claim there's another boost. And while the Bowser/Leon match is indeed primarily Leon boosting from RE4 on the PS2, it's tough to say if it was all that or mixed in with Bowser dropping every so slightly. We knew there would be a KH2 boost this year; we just don't know how far it extends or how large it will be. Today's match, thanks to Alucard's questionable value last year, doesn't tell us much outside of the fact that it's clearly present. Outside of the clear KH2 boost, the only other thing we can make out of today is that in all likelihood Ganon was underrated last year, which in turn brings up Auron. No need to stretch it out to showing that there is a potential second Nintendo boost. We'll get evidence of that in the second round and on. --- "That's a cruel, rotten, disgusting idea -- and I love it!" |
