Sorry Leon, but you met your lifetime quota of successful crazy upsets
today. Thus Jill > Peach has an approximately 0% chance of
happening* per my statistics. *unless Heroic Mario hops on a Peach > Tifa bandwagon right before the match, in which case it's an even money upset --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

The difference is that Jill > Peach isn't crazy, nor is it an upset. Peach > Jill is the crazy pick! Plus, one crazy upset pick just opens the floodgates for me!

But seriously, what did Peach do to become the "definite" favorite?
Nintendo's performance hasn't exactly been indicating some sort of
second boost, and I'd expect Jill to be closer to Leon than I would
expect Peach to be to Bowser. --- Squall Leonhart's Road to the Character Battle V Championship: Round 1: Status of Tidus - LIONHEART'D |

Peach is still an unknown. based on where I expect Sheena to be though,
Jill looks about the same as in previous years. I think Peach is
slightly above that. --- xyzzy "12 percent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms." - Reuters |
| LeonhartForever | Posted 10/13/2006 5:51:02 PM | message detail |

So expecting Peach to be slightly above where you think Jill is based on Sheena gives her the status of definite favorite? I see. --- Squall Leonhart's Road to the Character Battle V Championship: Round 1: Status of Tidus - LIONHEART'D |

you're caught up on the word definite. would you prefer just plain old favourite? based on board consensus, she's obviously the favourite and nothing has really changed my mind there. not to say they're always right (lol today), but they are more often than not. --- xyzzy "12 percent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms." - Reuters |

Well, I'm wondering how she got the status of favorite at all, to the
point where somebody is giving Jill less than 5% to win and somebody
else saying it's "crazy." --- Squall Leonhart's Road to the Character Battle V Championship: Round 1: Status of Tidus - LIONHEART'D |

Crazy, you say? There's nothing crazy about something that is going

| Karma Hunter | Posted 10/13/2006 5:58:44 PM | message detail |

I'm not confident in Peach being much more than Wario by any stretch of
the imagination. However, what decided that match was me asking myself,
"In Jill v. Wario, who would I take?" and I found myself struggling. Because of that, I decided to err on the side of Nintendo and go with Peach. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

...Why did you struggle with Jill/Wario? Wario ain't breaking the fodder line by much at all. --- Squall Leonhart's Road to the Character Battle V Championship: Round 1: Status of Tidus - LIONHEART'D |
| Draco1214 | Posted 10/13/2006 6:01:09 PM | message detail |
|
Ironically, the reason I picked Jill is because at the time I was think
"Who would win: Peach or Wario?" and I struggled, so I thought...yeah,
Jill's got this easily. --- Character Battle V Score - 29/31 points Current Prediction - Master Chief vs. Sub-Zero |
