All you have to do to imagine how great another games contest would be is to look at what 2k6's bracket would be like if the last bracket we had was 2k3.

Kairi over Claire would be a HUGE upset, Rikku vs. Claire would be a fairly debatable match, Celes vs. Tifa could be a very debatable match, Jill vs. Celes/Peach/Tifa could all be debatable, Terra vs. Kerrigan would've been eagerly anticipated, people would've taken Marle over Aeris, Aeris would be the favorite to win her division, Lara would be a huge favorite over Chun Li and her match with Yuna would be debatable, Squall vs. Tidus would be a tough match, Sora...would still have a predictable path (my god is his positioning pathetic), Pheonix might've been the favorite over Gordon, Snake (with MGS3 power!) might've been the favorite over Mega Man, Ganon would've been a bigger favorite over Vincent and would have many predictors against Sonic, Luigi over Zero would be the upset of the century, Auron vs. Alucard would be very debatable, Mega Man would be favored over Crono, and both would be favored over Samus.

This bracket would've been simply INCREDIBLE if we had a span of three years instead of the regular one.

Even if Yuna reaches something like 30% in the xstats, that would probably make cortana still look very, very pathetic. Not that her being uber fodder is unexpected or anything.

Or how about underrated because of Samus? Bells should have been going off when Rikku > Yuna, I know no one in their right mind would ever take that. I wouldn't be surprised if Yuna was on Tidus' level, or a % higher thanks to FFX-2, which was received very well.

lol-ec stats

Yuna (2005c) VS Joanna Dark (2005c)

Yuna has a strength of 30.38.
Joanna Dark has a strength of 16.50.

Yuna wins with 72.84% of the vote! That makes a 9% whadadadadadada? A mere 5% whadadadadadada? Samus is obviously the cause of this. You're lucky I have classes to go to, or I'd be annoying you with this all day!

HoorayProxies | Posted 10/20/2006 5:54:05 AM | message detail
The only way I think Link loses is if we see some crazy SFF shababa in the BR, heads up against Link? I'll take Link all the time, but if Cloud does beat him, I may have to concede KHF.

TheCruelAngel | Posted 10/20/2006 5:58:26 AM | message detail
I don't see Link having any trouble whatsoever with SFF. Other than Link possibly losing to Cloud in the finals, the only shocker I can see happening is Sephiroth outlasting Cloud. Hero SFF? Yes! Yes! Falcon Punch!

HoorayProxies | Posted 10/20/2006 6:01:10 AM | message detail
You could make the argument that Link has never significantly SFF'd anyone, aside from Ganon (lol same series), he even had a hard time doing more than minimal SFF to Samus, while Mario obliterated her. I'd say Mario has been more impressive with SFF than Link has, (don't mention 2K2, simply because it's 2K2 plz, even if you do, he's only 1% away from his 2K3 number). I'm not expecting it to happen, but it would surprise me less than Cloud beating him head to head. Obviously Link already has a nice lead on Mario, so he'd have to do some serious rSFF, but it's possible.

---
Hooray Beer, Hooray Proxies!
TheCruelAngel | Posted 10/20/2006 6:05:56 AM | message detail
I think the reason Link doesn't get as much SFF as Mario is because he's already ridiculously strong to the point where any SFF won't be particularly noticeable. Link getting SFF'd? I just can't see it happening at all. Even if it was possib;e for Mario to do so, he would have a huge difference in strength to cover, like you said.
