Not to seem *too* resentful of Peach, but there are few characters I've
seen as overestimated as her in the past year. There are a good number
of people on the board that think she's on Luigi's level or even above. DK I suppose has maybe a 0.001% chance of happening...but Luigi? --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

and Zelda > Bowser? wow. Solid Snake says differently, picture or not! (not that his picture was much better vs. Zelda!) Any of those seven characters in that tier are interchangable.

those antivotes don't go away though! they're just part of his natural strength. Yeah I know. What I really mean is those antivotes seem the appear and disappear from match to match.

no, that's not it.. he's just nonlinear. his antivotes actually aren't
the problem, it's the people who will vote for him over every other

Well I recognize VFL = Vyse Fodder Line But me point was that Crash is fodder. MC isnt gonna lose to that no question.

Spazer Division: Round 2 - Match 33 – (1)Samus vs. (4)Ada Wong Moltar’s Analysis Samus Round 1 – 81.85% vs. Nidoran F (18.15%) Samus makes easy work out of Nidoran F. Ada Round 1 – 75.89% vs. Jade (24.11%) Ouch, Jade is uber-fodder. Well, the woman in the red dress now faces the bounty hunter in the orange suit. Not much to debate here, as Samus should have no troubles beating Ada. Perhaps though, she’ll fare a little better than I originally thought because of her impressive numbers on Jade. …Or Samus will do just as well and both Ada and Jade end up looking super weak. Samus needs to impress soon though, as her Nidoran F numbers don’t say “Bracket Winner” to me. Moltar’s Bracket Says: Samus will win. Moltar’s Prediction is: Samus: 74% - Ada: 26% Ulti’s Analysis As easy as it is to simply assume that Ada will suck in this match, Leon's performance on Bowser makes me think otherwise. Samus will still win with ease, but Ada might actually manage to, oh.... I dunno, avoid a tripling perhaps. Stupid female half. Prediction: Samus with 74.99% HM’s Analysis Samus Aran Previous Matches: Samus Aran – 81.85% -- 95,533 Nidoran F – 18.15% -- 21,180 Ada Wong Previous Matches: Ada Wong – 75.89% -- 74,498 Jade – 24.11% -- 23,669 With the start of round 2, we return to the undeniably depressing female bracket. Even more disappointing, we won’t really have any idea of how Samus stacks up to the competition when she’s against the untested Ada Wong. However, after Samus’s performance last round in which she didn’t put up a blowout of epic proportions, many began to doubt what she could do – but I think she’ll be reassuring everyone of what she can do here. Ada Wong shouldn’t be that bad of fodder considering she does come from Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4. The latter of which is the most popular game in the entire series and a big reason why Leon Kennedy was able to put up nearly 45% on the King of Koopas. Still, she shouldn’t be comparable to Leon in the least and Samus is much higher than Bowser can hope for right now. I expect this one to easily go Samus’s way in a rather boring match-up. I don’t think we’re going to see anything that diverts from the norm. Aitch Emm’s Bracket: Samus Aran Aitch Emm’s Prediction: Samus Aran – 74% ; Ada Wong – 26% Aitch Emm’s Vote: Samus Aran Yoblazer’s Analysis I think Ada will do a pretty good job here. She looks great in the picture (whereas Samus looks bleh), Nintendo has looked far from invulnerable thus far, and Leon did extremely well on Bowser just a few days ago. Thus, I think Ada will do a pretty good job here. My prediction: Samus Aran def. Ada Wong (73-27) Lopen’s Analysis I have no idea why I thought Wesker would be more popular than Ada. That was stupidity. After finally finishing the whole game, I notice Wesker's hardly got any screen time in RE4. Here I was thinking with all the hype he was getting in the Villains Contest from his fans, he'd do something cool. Here I was thinking that with him getting 45% against Lloyd, he'd do something cool. Well you know what? He didn't do anything cool beyond wearing sunglasses at night! He's got nothin' on Ada! I guess maybe he's significant in RE1, but who cares about that one? |

Ada Wong has potential… even if Jade was fodder, she smashed her good. I think Ada might actually be able to beat Jill or especially
that flopper Claire. RE4 is the revolution, man! RE4 dwarfs that other
crap, for real! So what am I going to do? I'm going to aim nice and low
here. Leon doing so well against Bowser makes me feel better about this
prediction… Ada might just surprise us all! Lopen's Prediction: Samus with 70.95% KH’s Analysis lol x-stats history Samus Aran Summer 2002 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 4th Place [41.07%] Summer 2003 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 7th Place [36.72%] Summer 2004 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 4th Place [39.50%] Summer 2005 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 5th Place [38.21%] And we're back to Round 2! Joy of joys, it's the female half again. -_- First up is another boring blowout! Yay. -_- Samus is looking to impress this time around after massively not meeting expectations against the complete joke entry known as Nidoran F. Was it a fluke, has Samus lost a step, or was she never there in the first place? THIS MATCH WILL GIVE US NO ANSWERS TO THAT END Ada Wong lol N/A Ada is looking hot, and she's also looking good after her round one killing of Jade. However, we're about to see exactly how much of that was Jade's weakness in this match. Although Leon did impress against Bowser, so Ada may be able to recapture some of that magic here... Notable Releases Since Last Appearance Samus Aran: Metroid Prime: Hunters (DS), Metroid Prime Pinball (DS), Super Smash Brothers Brawl Trailer (lol internet) Ada Wong: Resident Evil 2 (PS), Resident Evil 4 (GC, PS2) Upcoming Releases Samus Aran: Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (WII), Super Smash Brothers Brawl (WII) Ada Wong: Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (WII) I'll be honest, I'm pretty interested in MC/SZ right now and I really don't give a damn about this match. So I'll give you a quick statting -- Samus gets 67% on Leon 2k5, and Ada's getting nowhere near there. She gets 73% on Jill 2k4, and...yeah, I'll give her a point above that and be done with it, giving... Karma Hunter's Vote: Ada. Another case of personality > Samus Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Samus Aran with 76.46% . If Samus doesn't get this, it'll be a mild disappointment, but whatever. Upset Potential: 0.0001% Can't forget that RE4 was on the GC! Upset Prediction: Ada Wong with 100% Guest’s Analysis - Garsha Samus's past performances: 2002: 5-seed, lost to (7)Sephiroth in Division Finals, 47.37%-52.63% (Ranked 4 with 41.07% vs. Base Link) 2003: 2-seed, lost to (1)Link in Division Finals, 37.94%-62.06% (Ranked 7 with 36.72% vs. 2K3 Cloud) 2004: 2-seed, lost to (1)Cloud Strife in Semi-Finals, 59.01%-40.99% (Ranked 4 with 39.50 vs. 2K4 Link) 2005: 1-seed, lost to (1)Mario in Quarter Finals, 59.79%-40.21% (Adjusted Rank at 5 vs. 2K5 Link) 2006: 1-seed, defeated (8)Nidoran F, 81.85%-18.15% Samus easily wipes Nidoran out. Performance in past round: 2002-2005: Did not participate. 2006: 4-seed, defeated (5)Jade, 75.89%-24.11% Impressive performance by Ada. CJayC really did a mistake when splitting the bracket in a male and a female bracket. Because of this, we see weaklings like Kairi and Lara Croft winning matches and worthy opponents like Ganondorf, Zero, Tidus, and Leon Kennedy getting robbed in the first round. We also see characters Magus, Donkey Kong, Knuckles, and Frog being snubbed and pathetic characters like Nidoran F and Roll in this contest. CJayC, don't EVER do this again. |

| Master Moltar | Posted 10/13/2006 7:49:56 PM | message detail |
| Both characters have done impressively against
their opponents, but it's obvious that Samus will win this match. Has
Leon ever gotten 41% against Cloud? Nope. We can very much say that Ada
is weaker than Leon. Unadjusted 2K5 Samus is projected to get over 60%
against Leon, and Adjusted 2K5 Samus is projected barely double Leon
with 67.02% However, seeing that Ada showed a very impressive
performance against Jade, and the fact that Leon put up nearly 45%
against Bowser might show that Ada is a little more than just a
pushover, and might even be above the fodder line. Ada will boost and
benefit from the PS2 port of Resident Evil 4, and I wouldn't be
suprised if Ada broke 30% or even avoid the doubling. I can't see Samus
tripling Ada, seeing that RE4 is by far the most popular game in the
series, as well as one of the most popular games on the GameCube, but I
can see her breaking 70%, and Metroid Prime 3 hype could help that. Oh, and my word to all of Board 8 and its horrible taste: The Beatles >>>> Lolicon. Garsha's prediction: Samus Aran defeats Ada Wong-71.96%-28.04%. Gotta let my sister on this computer right now. She just turned 16 a few days ago. *Catches the attention of many idiots* Crew Consensus: The only thing in question in this match is how much Samus will beat Ada by. Crew thinks around the low-mid 70's. |
