This match tells me more about Zelda/Aeris because Aeris is bombing pretty hard now (she's barely outperforming Ryu). Yesterday's match told me nothing. Unless you want to believe Zelda will beat Samus. --- Character Battle V Score - 37/42 points Current Prediction - KOS-MOS vs. Aeris Gainsborough |

And before anyone jumps on me about the Aeris 2k2 = Aeris 2k6 comment, I do not think that is what we're seeing right now. I never
work in such extremes when figuring this stuff out. If I did, I would
be calling for Zelda to beat Aeris with about 55 - 56% of the vote. I
just think all signs are clearly in place that point to Zelda winning
without much of a problem. At the very least, there is nothing that
says this match should be 50/50 heading in with both having an equal
chance at winning, because Zelda is a clear favorite. --- "Looking good, Princess, especially from this angle!" |

To be fair, Aeris did have FF:AC and KH2 on her side, not to mention
FF12 releasing on Zelda/Aeris, so thinkin' Aeris > Zelda before the
contest was plenty reasonable...but, like her roles in each of those,
it couldn't mean very much if anything at all -- the first two don't
look like they did her many favors against Marle and KOS-MOS, and I've
grown skeptical on how much FF12 will really help Aeris out. It's no lock, but I've just been feeling better and better about Zelda taking it. Of course, I said this just afew days ago about Peach, too..... --- Damn, most of my dates involve mocking and/or beating up people like you and your bride-to-be, so I really have no advice --Horatio |

Indeed, Zelda is the clear favorite, but she's not a lock. Still, I'd
imagine that this is a stronger KOS-MOS than the one Ryu beat, even
though this doesn't look too optimistic for Aeris one way or the other. Even so, Ryu 2004 is only .81% behind Aeris 2003. --- Squall Leonhart's Road to the Character Battle V Championship: Round 2: (1) Solid Snake |

I mentioned to Draco a while ago that I would imagine that KH2/AC could have potentially just lessened the amount that Aeris might have fallen. Or, in a better case, kept her from falling. I sincerely doubt either one of those did anything to bring her up though. I can understand why one might think they would, but when you consider she gained 2% from that Square shift, another small cameo role where she does next to nothing notable and that won't produce a shift doesn't speak well for her. This, along with missing every contest since 2003, definitely made me think she was at her 2003 strength at absolute best. And FFXII? Yeah. I've always had my doubts on that. It just seemed silly that people would think that would be a deciding factor. --- "Looking good, Princess, especially from this angle!" |

Why are people using x-stats for Yuna/Joanna? Yuna isn't very strong,
but when you put her against someone like Joanna Dark, she isn't going
to barely put up 60%, just because the stats say so. I mean, Yuna can
fold against stronger characters just like Joanna does, but Yuna is
just miles and miles out of Joanna's league. Just what I think, anyway. 70% doesn't seem impossible. --- caps |

Joanna will be doing good to break 35%...but there's no doubt Joanna'll
do noticably better than her stats say last year. She has a 360-launch
game (her first game in, what, seven years?), her picture is now a
picture from a game that's released as opposed to using her PD0 model
last year before the game was out, and she probably suffered some minor
SFF against Mario last year. --- Damn, most of my dates involve mocking and/or beating up people like you and your bride-to-be, so I really have no advice --Horatio |

Also, never in my day would I expect KOS-MOS getting a 47% update on
Aeris. Extremely good performance by KOS-MOS. Makes me wonder how Sora
was SFF'd enough to perform 5% worse than KOS-MOS. And Kairi still did
well on Rikku. --- caps |

Well, Yuna could overperform on Joanna for the same reason Vincent's
going to beat Ganon: underrated Samus/Ganon in 2k6. Of course, PDZ
should easily wipe that boost out, which would make Yuna look bad, but
she'll still win her division no problem. --- 99% of people just make up statistics on the spot. If you are part of the 1%, post this in your sig |

Yeah, where Yuna is will make it hard to tell where Joanna should go
for awhile, but by the end of the x-stats when it's all said and done,
I think Joanna's going to come off looking better than last year by
afew percent (depending on how much the factors I mentioned are worth,
I figure anywhere from 2% to 5%). --- Damn, most of my dates involve mocking and/or beating up people like you and your bride-to-be, so I really have no advice --Horatio |

Extremely good performance by KOS-MOS. Makes me wonder how Sora was
SFF'd enough to perform 5% worse than KOS-MOS. And Kairi still did well
on Rikku. Pft, KOS-MOS would blow Sora out, and you know it! Samus just underperformed on Sora to make up for overperforming so much on Lara and Sam. --- 99% of people just make up statistics on the spot. If you are part of the 1%, post this in your sig |

Yeah, we all know Sora's 2003 number is his only legit one! And I have a feeling Yuna will destroy Joanna (mid-high 60's), and she'll only be higher in the stats this year due to Yuna performing well against Zelda (oops spoils). --- Moltar Status: Feeling good and hot-blooded.

Is Leon really the only person left in this topic with any sense? How
anyone could possibly look at Zelda/Terra and not call that an
overperformances makes my brain explode. There's no way Terra drops off
that friggin' much this year, and there's no way Zelda is suddenly on
the level of Mario, considering she has no reason to boost. Is it
impressive? Yeah, but it doesn't tell me anything other than LoZ can
blow out fodder. WHAT A SHOCKER. --- Portugal. The Man Cheer Up Emo Kids |

I'm getting a big Snake/Bowser vibe from this Zelda/Aeris
discussion...Snake/Zelda goes out and flatout kills Sora/Terra to the
point where they're projected above Mario, Bowser/Aeris struggle with
Kirby/KOS-MOS to the point where they're expected to get flat-out
dominated... ...of course, Bowser didn't actually pull off the upset in the end, but he came damn close, eh. =( --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Ganondorf's overratedness cancels out Robotnik's underratedness! Yeah...Amy Rose might end up higher in the x-stats than Robotnik. She already is! Based on Aeris 2003, that is. Robotnik comes out at 16.80% on BL, while Amy is currently at 17.25% on BL.

Ganon's list of characters faced: Tidus, Magus, Alucard, Link, Yuna, Auron, Samus. I didn't include the Spring Contest, because no one ever wants to take what happened then seriously. So... who has Ganon faced that was fodder to overperform on? Oh, nobody? Even if you want to use Sp2K5, he faced off against Giygas (unknown), Ansem (unknown), Dr. Robotnik, (unknown), Diablo (not fodder), and Seph himself.

My theory for why everyone in 2005 looked stronger than in 2004: Mario overperformed on Sephiroth. It would make more sense for Sephiroth to over-perform on Link, though, don't you think (though I -really- think all those matches were accurate)? At least it would fit with the WDF. --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

It would make more sense for Sephiroth to over-perform on Link, though, don't you think No, because Mario has all of the momentum in the world compared to Sephiroth, who's not been in a poll for a few months. --- Squall Leonhart's Road to the Character Battle V Championship: Round 2: (1) Solid Snake |
