A) The stats topic was almost in clear majority that Peach had won. Acting as if they supported Jill is just not true. B) I'll be honest. I didn't "get" the arguments for Peach being fodder and/or losing to Wario. I didn't agree with the people saying it and didn't understand where they were coming from a lot of the time. That being said, while the Jill supporters were cocky at times, it wasn't anything worse than what I've seen for most close matches. It definitely wasn't worse than normal or anything. C) To play devil's advocates Jill supporters were on average more cocky than Peach supporters. D) Extha: Seriously. Calm down. It's just a popularity contest on an Internet web site. I can understand being upset or frustrated over a bracket, but who cares if people don't agree with you? --- Z1mZum totally owned me in the July 2006 Guru Contest The Funky Chickens in Trivia XVIII |

Or maybe he means that of the total number of votes stuffed by both
Jill and Peach fans, the Jill total was only 4% larger than the Peach
total. That's how I read it. --- ....TCELES B HSUP |

Hmmmm, so what's the verdict on this match? I was half joking when I
brought up the Devil Division, but I just realized from someone else
that Zelda is matching what Mario is expected to get? I know SOMETHING
is up here. Small but dedicated FFVI fanbase? Devil Division? Zelda
boost? Or simply "Terra is fodder, who cares where she ends up in the
stats it doesn't mean anything" factor? --- Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness, Mega Man ZX |

if Zelda randomly boosted, I'd think Ganondorf would too.. and if that's the case, uhhh Vincent > Sonic I don't take much away from this at all. I'll wait to see how Aeris does on KOS before saying much. --- xyzzy |

Dante and Vincent looked good enough for me to buy the Devil
Division...not sure what's going on here. If there was a Zelda boost I
would have expected Ganondorf to do better than he did, unless Vincent
is stronger than Sonic (yuck). So, I dunno what's happening
here...maybe whatever happened in Tifa/Vyse, though I would have hoped
that the FFVI fanbase would do better than the Skies fanbase... --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

Constant Zelda drops Terra down to 14.52% (from 18.65%), and Kerrigan to 12% (from 14.95%). Ouch. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

...yeah, I figured it'd be a lot. If Terra and Kerrigan's match went
almost exactly according to their predicted values from 2005, it'd be
weird if they both dropped concurrently - which means that this all
appears to be Zelda. At least that's the most logical explanation I can
think of. --- This was Ed Bellis, servant to the mighty Guru Z1mZum. Congrats, buddy! |

this is dropping pretty quickly now that the board vote is wearing off,
but 77% seems a good guess for where it'll end up. if so: Zelda: 50.00 Terra: 23.00 Kerigan: 19.00 Carmen: 13.92 Kerrigan = 12.81 on BL, or uhhh no one really finished in that area in 2k5. she'd be up there with the Ryo Hazukis of the world. --- xyzzy |

I thought about this being a Tifa/Vyse situation, but it seems so
strange. There was something to make in that one considering they were
both from RPGs and FFVII obviously has superiority over everything in
the genre...but this is just another Nintendo/Square match. I always thought that Zelda boosted when she faced off against Carmen, even if Ms. Sandiego was untested. The fact that she put up the biggest blowout of the contest combined with her 100,000 individual votes spoke well for her, I think. Now she's coming out here putting up very impressive numbers -- Mario-like -- against Terra during the FFVI heroine's best time. This could very well end up over 80% once the day hits if Zelda does far too far from where she's at now. I think Zelda may perform better by being only up against females. Perhaps unfounded, but it's just a feeling I've had for a while. I think she'll do better here than she would in a normal bracket for whatever reason -- even against Samus. I do believe it's a combination of various factors, but Zelda boosting is definitely one of them to me. --- "Thank You Mario! But our Princess is in another castle!" |

Well, the other explanation is that the Devil Division was overrated,
but that means that Zelda beats Ganondorf with 60.8% (assuming constant
Zelda and Vincent). So, yeah. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

this is dropping pretty quickly now that the board vote is wearing
off, but 77% seems a good guess for where it'll end up. if so: Eh, the board vote wore off a long time ago. Zelda's not exactly dropping like a rock now either. It's not the dead of night, though, so she may drop around 77% before the day vote, but I would expect her to get this all back then. If no 80%, she should be somewhere around 78 - 79%. --- "Thank You Mario! But our Princess is in another castle!" |

80% sounds nuts to me... 78% I could see, but I don't think Zelda's
going to be seeing 80% for one second. remember how Jill/Peach looked
for the first hour... or Ganondorf/Vincent.. etc etc. people

loooooooove to vote Nintendo early on. Are you forgetting just how bad Terra is with the day vote and how good Zelda is with it? She had no problem going from about 83% at the beginning of the match to 86% by the end of the match against Carmen Sandiego. This should come down some, but I don't foresee Zelda dropping like a rock later on. She's still maintaining 78% well after the first hour into the match without much of a problem. And the day vote is never kind to Terra. --- "Thank You Mario! But our Princess is in another castle!" |

She doesn't need to be Carmen Sandiego bad for Zelda to hit 80% either.

she will if she falls during the night.. which I would expect to
happen. I figure she'll fall to about 75, 76% and then make up the
ground during the day vote. we'll end around where we are now. --- xyzzy |

Well, yeah, that would be a bit different. I don't really anticipate
her falling to 75 - 76% though. She might, but I think she'll stick
around 77 - 78% tonight. --- "Thank You Mario! But our Princess is in another castle!" |

Whoa...I missed the whole end. Darn. We managed a nailbiter in this
contest, after all. That's twice Jill Valentine has choked... Whoa at Zelda's percentage, too. Terra probably didn't fall in popularity, but Terra doing surprisingly poorly here happens to coincide with Celes indirectly doing so pitifully against Tifa. Celes is expected to get 19.81% on Tifa (before SFF). --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

Hayabusa for me. I just think he's stronger now than he was then.. or at least stronger than Jill is. I think it's interesting how Peach is going to end up being right around DK, assuming Frog = MC. we'll find out more about that come next round. --- xyzzy |

Remember, Vivi was behind Sephiroth/Vivi and Cloud/Sephiroth, yet Zelda absolutely killed
him, to the point where people were foolishly booking Zelda > Snake
every which way (and over a few other Nobles, as well). Vivi takes care
of a lot of the people around where he appears without too much of a
problem...I'm not taking him to be in the fight of his life with
someone like Rikku. Zelda just has every intangible available to someone who isn't an actual elite. She stole Vivi's BMF, she's stealing Terra's default votes, there's no way you're convincing me that Carmen Sandiego loses to crap like Yuri...sure, if she crushes Aeris that'll validate performances like this, but I'd rather wait until she goes up against someone with real strength before booking her over the lower Noble Nine...again. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Wow Zelda. This certainly deducts from Tifa's performance, which makes sense I suppose. As mentioned before, this is probably any combination here of Zelda boosting, Terra dropping or DD overratedness. Still, Zelda looks very impressive right now, looking to beat Aeris comfortably, sadly. Ah well it'll be good for my bracket, at least. And yay Peach. --- CB: 38/40. Today: Zelda vs. Terra.

Hayabusa's sexy 'cuz he's had NG-Black released since his match with
Jill and he now gets good pictures...and Peach's sexy 'cuz this match
was both much more recent and had much higher vote-totals. Peach would
certainly have the bracket-advantage over Hayabusa, and I would give
her the intangibles too, plus Hayabusa didn't exactly impress against
Dante (no theories, KH!). You also have to wonder if Jill's any
stronger this year than in 2k4 thanks to RE4 on both Gamecube and
Playstation 2. I'd take Peach in a real close one...barely. --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Johnny Depp again (#15) |

Random thought... Zelda's run this year is starting to remind me of
Mega Man's run in 2002. Two big blowouts, the first one against an old
but formerly very recognizable female character, the second one against
someone who never should have made it to round two, but who beat an
even more pathetic character 60-40. Round 3, a face off with an FF VII
character that's one of the strongest characters (on her side of the
bracket), that's expected to be a close match. Hmm. --- ....TCELES B HSUP |

Vincent > Squall in another real close battle. Guys, from what we've seen so far, how does everybody feel about a Zelda/Bowser match now? I remember saying on my Four-Pack Of Fun board that I thought Zelda > Bowser would be the biggest possible upset that wouldn't be a big stretch this year, and it was pretty ridiculed...not that it's now official or anything, but Zelda looks like she stands good chance given what we've seen this year (LoZ > SMB, Zelda/Carmen, Squall/Tidus, Kratos/Ryu, Kirby/PoP, Bowser/Leon, Zelda/Terra) and other smaller advantages (Zelda >>> in SSBM, name-sake, LoZ:OoT/LoZ:LttP > SMB3, etc.). Sorry to rip it from KB's four-pack there, of course, but I'm curious about that match more than any other from that four-pack, heh. --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Johnny Depp again (#15) |

I'd almost definitely take Zelda over Bowser right now, and I would
have strongly considered it before the contest started. It's just a
question of now the SFF breaks, and Kirby's 48% on Bowser is definitely
a sign in favor of Zelda. --- ....TCELES B HSUP |
