who wanted to castrate you? everyone said the female bracket idea
sucked and that the boy half was good. the boy half could have been
better, sure, but it's not bad as it is. --- xyzzy "12 percent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms." - Reuters |

So, is there anyone that thinks Bowser and Ryu being exposed shows
Rikku's weakness and Claire might have retained enough strength to be
around Rikku's (possibly lower than we thought) level? And then, Kairi
beats Rikku? --- caps |

I put them as fairly equal in predictability, with the female half
taking it. But the female half would be predictable as HELL if we'd
seen the characters before. I mean, we'd be able to see that The Boss
is around Ocelot's strength beforehand, for example, without doing any
guesswork. *loads shotgun... puts in in mouth* --- I'm so hardcore. |

no, Kairi has a 0% chance of winning. Sora/Aeris pretty much
demonstrates that. Rikku is no Aeris, but she'll be able to beat Kairi
down good enough. --- xyzzy "12 percent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms." - Reuters |

I'm not so much upset with the contest as a whole, as I am disappointed at what it could have been. KH pretty much hits the nail on the head. Really, there's so much waste in this bracket. Sora has KH2 and is a huge wildcard in this contest, yet he has an extremely predictable path. Riku could've done some damage in a better position in the bracket. Bowser, Leon, Kratos, Ryu, Squall, Tidus, Prince of Persia, and Alucard were all wasted. --- Character Battle V Score - 29/31 points Current Prediction - Master Chief vs. Sub-Zero |

Riku could've done some damage in a better position in the bracket.
Bowser, Leon, Kratos, Ryu, Squall, Tidus, Prince of Persia, and Alucard
were all wasted. Not to mention that putting Knuckles/Magus into several different spots would have been BRILLIANT. I mean, Knuckles in the Prince's spot would have made for one of the best fourpacks...ever. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz AC2K6 Score: 30/31 Today: MC |

Is the fact that this is the closest match in the contest so far not
enough to call it close? No one said it was the match of the century
with the lead never passing 5 votes. --- caps |

Not to mention, just about every time Master Chief matches the number he needs to hit, it's Sub-Zero having a bad update. Plus, these occasional update wins that he's pulling aren't going to help the Chief. --- Squall Leonhart's Road to the Character Battle V Championship: Round 1: Status of Tidus - LIONHEART'D |

Plus that's assuming that it stays constant ALL the way to the end of
the poll. For Master Chief to win, he would need to be exceeding the
needed rate because there will be an inevitable slowdown. --- Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness, Mega Man ZX |

He hasn't ever hit the pace he needs for a fifteen minute update. The
closest he's come is a 100 vote win when he needed ~120, and a 126 win
when he needed ~140. And, of course, those are just spikes...he hasn't
been able to break 100 votes consistently (he has just three updates
over 100 votes), and he hasn't even been able to win updates
consistently (Subby's won three since MC started coming back). --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

I've got a LOT of faith in Crono right now. I was thinking Mega Man or

Samu...er, Crono. I still wouldn't put Sonic or even Solid Snake out of
it though (I still think Mega > Solid, but I think he's the least
favorite of the four to win this side). --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

I want Sonic to win... but I think he's 3
months before his time. Sonic the Hedgehog being a PS3 launch title as
well as being released for the 360, along with the Wii game and the PSP
games may have been just enough for him to beat Crono and take
the male bracket. But alas, it's a bit too soon for those games to make
whatever impact they will. I'd take him to beat Mega Man in a rematch
though. At least Sonic is making an ATTEMPT at saving face in the
console race. --- Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness, Mega Man ZX |
