Match XXXIX: (1) Yuna vs. (4) Joanna Dark Previous Matches Yuna Defeated Roll, 79.30% - 20.70% Joanna Dark Defeated Cortana, 60.23% - 39.77% Analysis: Last round Roll was much weaker than expected letting Yuna almost break 80% on her; I guess people from the original Mega Man series aren’t that strong with the exception of Mega Man himself. Joanna was easily able to beat Cortana in the biggest fodder/fodder match and is the weakest character to have made to the second round this year. Yuna may be the weakest one seed in the contest, but she shouldn’t have too much trouble at beating Joanna. The x-stats have Yuna pushing upwards to almost 70%, but I think Joanna would be able to do better than what the stats say. First off Joanna has had a new game release since her last appearance, Perfect Dark Zero. It was a launch title for the Xbox 360 and even though it wasn’t as great as the first one, it was the game to get on the 360 for the first few months until it got more games. How much would Joanna gain from this? Well it was her first game in many years so it did expose new people to Joanna. She’s probably still fodder, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she got close to the line. Another thing worth discussing was if Joanna was SFF by Mario last year. Her only game at the time was on the Nintendo 64, a system where only a select few games survived the test of time. I think she may have gotten SFF, but not too much. Many Perfect Dark fans are loyal to Perfect Dark and wouldn’t betray it so easily. Because of Perfect Dark Zero and the possibility of Mario SFF I think Joanna would be able to avoid the doubling. If Rare decides to make more good Perfect Dark games I could see Joanna boosting over the fodder line, but until then this will probably be Joanna’s last contest match. charmander6000’s Bracket: Yuna over Joanna Dark charmander6000’s Prediction: Yuna wins, 65.82% - 34.18% --- "I was trying to escape. Obviously, it didn't work." - President Bush |

I remember everyone in this topic saying Ganondorf's performance against Ansem was bad the day of the match. And yet the ONLY reason for that was Ansem/CATS. Make Ganondorf/Ansem a first round match, no one bats an eye. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Aeon Division: Round 2 - Match 39 – (1)Yuna vs. (4)Joanna Dark Moltar’s Analysis Yuna Round 1 – 79.30% vs. Roll (20.70%) Yuna does very well against Roll…almost too well… Joanna Round 1 – 60.23% vs. Cortana (39.77%) Joanna isn’t afraid of no Halo character! Yeesh, another boring Round 2 match in the female half. Oh well, Round 3 should turn up to be a bit more interesting. For now though, Joanna’s Contest time looks to end here. Yuna is already projected to beat her easily, but that performance on Roll was pretty impressive. Yuna may actually be trying to make herself look like a threat to take down Chun-Li with ease. What am I guessing though? Yuna will put up an average performance. Moltar’s Bracket Says: Yuna will win. Moltar’s Prediction is: Yuna: 68% - Joanna: 32% Ulti’s Analysis That’s Not Written by Moltar Because He Hasn’t Gotten it Yet and Needs Something Here joanna is the hott, perfect dark rulez bang bang zip zop zoobity bop Prediction: Magus with 87.55% HM’s Analysis Yuna Previous Matches: Yuna – 79.3% -- 97,716 Roll – 20.7% -- 25,501 Joanna Dark Previous Matches: Joanna Dark – 60.23% -- 60,488 Cortana – 39.77% -- 39,944 After the awesome overperformance from Zelda and the underperformance from Aeris, we’re back to the boring old female matches that we have become accustomed to. Last round, Yuna came out with a very nice performance by nearly quadrupling Roll and Joanna Dark put Cortana into her place as bottom of the barrel fodder. I’m not sure what to make of this match simply because it could range from 60% - 70%, I think. Yuna was likely underrated last year, Joanna could have been underrated and then boosted from PDZ or she could have not been underrated and not boosted and all sorts of various possibilities. There’s not much to really go over with this match because of how easy it is. The most we may get from this division is to see how Chun-Li will compare against Yuna heading into the division finals (YUNA > CHUN-LI). Aitch Emm’s Bracket: Yuna Aitch Emm’s Prediction: Yuna – 66.5% ; Joanna Dark – 33.5% Aitch Emm’s Vote: Yuna Yoblazer’s Analysis This is, without a shadow of a doubt, the worst match of Round 2. What we will essentially have to endure is a character who does not deserve to win two matches beating up on a character who did not deserve one match. Yuna will beat up on Joanna and, based on the extent of said beating-up, people will make predictions and set expectations regarding her upcoming match with Chun-Li or Lara Croft. And... that's really all I'm able to muster today. Sorry, but I don't really know or care about either of these ladies, and the match result is obvious. My prediction: Yuna def. Joanna Dark (67-33) Lopen’s Analysis Don't let Roll fool you. Yuna's not suddenly some female bracket taking beast. No no… Roll's just fodder of the worst sort. Joanna Dark will take her off her little high horse that she summoned. (Oh ho I bet it was Ixion!) Joanna will do her best to "disturb the summoner"… "touch the summoner"… "hurt the summoner"? What's the line? I don't know! Oh wait… it's… "Stay away from the summoner!" That's right! So Joanna Dark will do her best to… "approach the summoner"? Alright. Yeah. She'll try to approach her… in votes… but she'll fail… miserably. Lopen's prediction: Yuna with 64.12% |

KH’s Analysis lol x-stats history Yuna Summer 2003 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 34th Place [23.66%] Summer 2005 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 31st Place [23.92%] Yuna is looking good in her prospects to take this very boring division down after an absolute clobbering of Roll. Getting your ass beat down like that against Yuna? Roll's either one of the most worthless things we've ever seen, or -- actually, yeah, Roll = Worthless basically summarizes last round's match. Joanna Dark Summer 2005 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 59th Place [15.12%] Joanna had a good expected thrashing of Cortana herself, though nothing that would give her inklings at this upset. Yuna just has too much going in her favor, Joanna's just trying to make herself respectable here. Notable Releases Since Last Appearance Yuna: Kingdom Hearts II (PS2) Joanna Dark: Perfect Dark Zero (XB360) Upcoming Releases Yuna: N/A Joanna Dark: N/A This match sums up everything I hate about the female bracket. Karma Hunter's Vote: Joanna Dark. May be the last time we see her in a contest at this rate... Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Yuna with 67.5%. Yuna has reason to be underrated and perhaps stronger this year, but Joanna has reason to be SFFed in her last appearance...with the severity of Nintendo SFF and PDZ, I'll go lower than what the stats say. Upset Potential: 0% lol steve illumina Guest’s Analysis - Minipoooot Let’s look at the previous matches in this contest with Yuna and Joanna. Yuna: 79.3% - Roll: 20.7% Joanna: 60.23%- Cortana: 39.77% Though Roll had never been in a previous contest, it was expected that she would end up as fodder for Yuna. Cortana, also never having been in a contest, was expected to perform somewhat decently against Joanna, but ended up getting rolled over by Ms. Dark. Obviously, Yuna is the heavy favorite coming into this match. According to lol x-stats, 2005 Yuna will win against 2005 Joanna with 68.39%. However, with the release of Perfect Dark Zero after last year’s contest, I believe that Joanna’s percentage should rise a little. My prediction: Yuna- 64.5% Joanna 35.5% |
