"Yah but what are the odds he'd overturn the result? Odds are there's been cheating on both sides." Yeah but he should legitimately take away from both sides instead of saying "well they both cheated so its all good lolz". Its stupid if anyone can just rig any close match to whatever result they want, just because they know CJay will say that. --- Can't think of a good sig. |

HAY GUYZ, THE REAL MATCH IS HERE, ZELDA/TERRA OH YEAH! Triforce Division: Round 2 - Match 37 – (1)Zelda vs. (4)Terra Branford Moltar’s Analysis Zelda Round 1 – 86.08% vs. Carmen (13.92%) 86% and over 100K votes on Carmen. Watch out everyone! Terra Round 1 – 58.69% vs. Kerrigan (41.31%) In a match nearly perfectly predicted by the X-Stats, Terra beats Kerrigan. From one impressive Zelda victory, to hopefully another. Since it seems that Terra and Kerrigan haven’t changed from last year, let’s see what the good ol’ Stats say on this! Zelda (2005c) VS Terra (2005c) Zelda has a strength of 33.71. Terra has a strength of 18.65. Zelda wins with 72.34% of the vote! A win of 47,037 with 105,286 total votes cast. 72% for Zelda isn’t bad. I’ll go a little higher though, given Zelda’s impressive performance on Carmen. Moltar’s Bracket Says: Zelda will win. Moltar’s Prediction is: Zelda: 74% - Terra: 26% Ulti’s Analysis Terra won a match and I completely forgot she was even in this contest. God the female half sucks. *plugs in 2005 stats and gives Zelda extra 2% for no real reason* Prediction: Zelda with 74.34% HM’s Analysis Zelda Previous Matches: Zelda – 86.08% -- 102,509 Carmen Sandiego – 13.92% -- 16,578 Terra Branford Previous Matches: Terra Branford – 58.69% -- 58,141 Sarah Kerrigan – 41.31% -- 40,922 In the last round, the lovely Princess of Hyrule sets some records with her performance, being the first character to ever break 100,000 individual votes and getting the largest blowout of the entire contest. She comes into this round looking exceptionally strong with the annihilation of Carmen. Terra, on the other hand, looked about how she was expected to against Kerrigan. The Final Fantasy VI heroine is in for a beat down of a lifetime this round. This match is pretty much a no-brainer as far as result and percentage are concerned. Given that Terra is definitely not stronger than last year, Zelda is at least guaranteed to get about 72% or so in this match; however, I think she’ll get more thanks to a slight increase, along with this feeling that Zelda is just going to perform much better in the female half than she might normally in a usual bracket. Zelda has been the most impressive character for Nintendo this contest, which is somewhat surprising but also rather expected given where she comes from and her competition. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see Zelda rock the female half of the bracket and end up in the finals – rSFF SAMUS HERE WE COME! It’s one match at a time, though, and Zelda just needs to continue her domination of Final Fantasy characters en route to a showdown with Samus. That’s right – Aeris is just another Final Fantasy casualty against the mighty Legend of Zelda. I’m really anxious to see Zelda post-Twilight Princess, especially since she might have a big role for once! Zelda4Life! Aitch Emm’s Bracket: Zelda Aitch Emm’s Prediction: Zelda – 76.5% ; Terra Branford – 23.5% Aitch Emm’s Vote: Zelda! Yoblazer’s Analysis She controls the crowd, you know she holds it down, when it drops you know it's jiggy when you hear the sound, from town to town until she's world-renowned, she'll rock Hyrule all year around. My prediction: Zelda break dances all over Terra's uglyass face (75-25) |

Lopen’s Analysis Another match where I only have one of the two right, (this doesn't get old!) I was expecting Terra to get stopped by Kerrigan. Yes, I'd seen the last contest… but I figured because they were both fodder anything could happen. Okay, I was wrong. What does that have to do with this match? The hell if I know. This one should be easy… I think the most interesting thing we'll see here is "how does Zelda compare to Dante". Dante got 71.50% on Terra last year. Will Zelda do better or worse? Me? Well, if you know me… obviously, I'm thinking "worse". Why? Because DANTE IS INVINCIBLE! (the hell with you, Master Chief!) Lopen's Prediction: Zelda with 68.50% KH’s Analysis lol x-stats history Zelda Summer 2003 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 19th Place [30.29%] Summer 2005 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 14th Place [30.89%] Zelda sought, found, and beat the crap out of Carmen Sandiego last round (;_;), and is looking to follow that up with another fodder crushing today. All just an appetizer for the inevitable Zelda/Aeris clash, of course !! Terra Summer 2005 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 50th Place [17.10%] Terra does what's expected of her against Kerrigan despite all the hullaballoo concerning the match picture. FF6 gets another win under its belt (amazingly), but that all comes to an end here. Goodbye, Terra. Don't let the door smack you on the ass on the way out. Notable Releases Since Last Appearance Zelda: N/A Terra: N/A Upcoming Releases Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (WII) Terra: N/A ...yeah, I'm following Jill/Peach a little too closely right now to give this any sort of real analysis. But come on, it's freaking Zelda/Terra. Typically you'd expect Square to look its best when it goes out to Nintendo...but this is FF6 we're talking about here. If this goes over a tripling I won't bat an eye. Karma Hunter's Vote: Terra. Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Zelda with 74.86%. Do I doubt the Devil Division? No. Do I think Zelda is any stronger this year? No. But I'm getting the feeling that the name "Zelda" is an absolute fodder killer. Expect her to look like she can take down Snake here, but falter as soon as she runs into real competition. Upset Potential: 0% lol FF6 Guest’s Analysis - Lady Ashe Oh, cool. It is time for another Square vs. Nintendo match. We have characters from the two most powerful series, The Legend of Zelda, and Final Fantasy, going head to head to see who gets to advance to round three. On one side of the mat we have Princess Zelda, the heavy favorite for this match. On the other side, we have Terra, one of the two lead characters from the best game of all time. Who will win in this epic conflict? Methinks you should read on and find out. |

So, does that cancel out the 45 votes for Jill that Ulti's been talking about? --- That... was her final mission. And like a true soldier, she saw it through to the end. ZSB [aX] |

"Uhhhh, if there's no unfair advantage for either side... what would taking away from both sides accomplish?" Because any cheating going on would not be completely even despite what he says and it would determine the outcome of the match? I'm willing to bet almost every close poll has been effected by cheating in some way or another. Its probably the only reason Starcraft beat Halo. --- Can't think of a good sig. |

Let's take a look at Zelda, shall we? She is looking hot after a record
shattering win against Carmen Sandiego, and is looking to move on to
face Aeris next round. There isn't really much to say here, other than
the fact that Zelda is from the
most popular series on GameFAQs. As if that was not enough, said series
has what is looking to be its best game ever coming out soon enough, as
well as her role as a commonly played character in Super Smash Brothers
Melee. But let's not forget that her opponent should not be any slouch,
either. It's time to see what is going on over with everybody's
favorite greenhead, Terra! Back in round one, Terra faced off against the horribly deformed looking Sarah Kerrigan, and defeated her without much difficulty. It is generally accepted that her path for this contest ends here, but she is still aiming to put up a good fight before she goes. What does Terra have going for her to help her in this endeavor? Well, she is from the best game of all time. Sadly however, many GameFAQs users have never played a Final Fantasy game before Final Fantasy 7, and so this isn't incredibly likely to count for too much. After all, the best character from the best game ever lost to Diablo of all peo- demons. Terra does have Final Fantasy 6 coming to the DS, but it is most likely way too far off to have any significant impact on the way this match will turn out. Well, we have taken a brief look at both of the characters, now what does it all mean? To be honest, I would like to base my entire argument for this match on the fact that Zelda got 100 000 freaking votes, but the possibility of Carmen being uber-fodder is just too great to ignore. Oh well, in that case I suppose that it would be best to take a look at the good old x-stats. Terra (2005c) VS Zelda (2005c) Terra has a strength of 18.65. Zelda has a strength of 33.71. Zelda wins with 72.34% of the vote! A win of 47,037 with 105,286 total votes cast. Taking Twilight Princess Hype and a possible drop for Terra into account, 75 or 76 is looking about right. But there is still one more point that I would like to bring up, and it is something that I doubt will be brought up by any of the Crew members. Zelda will benefit from Same Fan Factor. The newer Final Fantasy games don't share the same fanbase as The Legend of Zelda does, but the kind of people that have played Final Fantasy 6 and the other older Final Fantasy games have almost definitely played Zelda games as well. This will take away a fair amount of votes that Terra would have otherwise received, and make Zelda look even more impressive. While I would like for Terra to give off a somewhat respectable performance, I just can't see it happening for her. My prediction? Zelda with 78.86% Crew Consensus: Zelda wins by a little more than last year's stats predict. Mid 70's seems to be good. |

Alright, I've made the updates even more frequent now. It's checking the poll 3 times every 5 minutes. If people can post when, in GameFAQs time, the poll is being updated, it might help me to synch up the cron job for the future. Though the poll update time seems to have already flipped three times today. I wonder what Ceej is doing? I could continue the extra checks, or make it check every minute, but I'd rather not. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
