Although, I'll be honest. If Yoshi doesn't perform at 46+ against
Dante, and MM doesn't at least 63/37 Ryu, I'll start losing a little
bit of confidence in MM>Snake. --- Z1mZum owned me in the guru contest (by two points!). Damn you Z1mZum! |

Adjusting Ryu through Kratos through Sora 2k4, Mega Man should double
him or so. That assumes no Kratos boosting at all and it potentially
underrates him in 2k5, so that's a good ceiling to look out
for...around there or any higher and he'll be looking very good. I'd get worried for his chances if he didn't do much better than Bowser. --- *kills self Commit it to memory. |

Okay. Sure a universally loved character from one of the most popular
games on this site can't be better than a joke like Kefka, from a game
whose characters have little to no success on these contests. Look, I'd
easily take Axel over Kefka and Tommy V, and Gordon Freeman, who's also
around that area. I'd probably take him over Diablo too, who would get
around 31.22 on MM according to last years Xstats. --- Z1mZum owned me in the guru contest (by two points!). Damn you Z1mZum! |

I'm starting to think now that Snake is ahead by this much because of
bracket support. I mean he's clearly the favorite of many casuals and
with Squall's 4 seed, these results make sense. --- Nominate Barret Wallace for SC2k7, you know you want to |

be some other factor? --- CB5 Points: 45/48, Current Oracle placement: 27/165 Now playing: Okami |

I wouldn't take Axel to beat Vercetti or even Kefka, but I would think
he would keep it close with either of them...so I'm not big on this
whole MEGGAR MAN IS TEH DROPZ OF THE NOBLE idea that's out and about. I
think unless Mega Man really impresses agaist Ryu, Solid Snake has to
be the favorite. --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Adam Sandler (#1) |

Yeah but that was last year. Before MGS4 hype. And SSBB hype. And MGO.
I don't care what you guys think, but saying that the hype doesn't help
just a little is crazy. --- CB5 Points: 45/48, Current Oracle placement: 27/165 Now playing: Okami |

I think if ype has ever helped before, it's helped Solid Snake. He
stole E3 this year -- and not in the way Link did with the LoZ trailer,
either. MGS4 is likely the most anticipated PS3 game right now, and
SSBB would be the same for the Wii if LoZ:TP wasn't going to release on
both Wii and Gamecube. Considering that Nintendo and Sony have the most
beloved systems here and MGS having hit every system this generation
with some success, it's hard to find somebody who would come to
GameFAQs who's not only familiar but happy about Solid Snake's upcoming
future. --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Adam Sandler (#1) |

Alright, so the last time Snake tangled with Knuckles, Knuckles wound
up with 40.44% of the vote. Since that was before MGS3 and the hype
over MGS4 & SSBB, it shouldn't be too much of a stretch to think
that Knuckles would drop into the 38% range on Snake if they had a
rematch today. If Squall ends up around 43% on Snake, then Squall projects out to somewhere around 55%-56% on Knuckles this year (based on the numbers above), which seems pretty reasonable. What does this mean? *shrug* Beats me. Maybe we're seeing a rare, legitimate result from a Snake match? --- ALL YOUR VOTES ARE BELONG TO Z1mZum FOR ROCKING THE GURU WORLD |

If this isn't SFF... Vincent is so royally screwed. Funny how the opposite is true if Squall/Tidus wasn't SFF. Anyway, with regards to Vincent, I don't think there's much we can say about his strength when looking at characters who were in the Devil Division last year. Most of them have reason to change, including Vincent himself, and if Vincent did overperform due to JP AC leak, it's entirely possible that the actual English release made up for it, so Vincent's far stronger than the rest of the Devil Division (ignoring their other new games). Not to mention the potential for a Sonic drop (unlikely, I know, but 2k5 is an oddity for having such a strong Sonic, and we have no idea about the strength of Hybrid-CATS). It's not like Vincent doesn't have a chance to win this match, and he'll certainly perform much better than Tifa did last year, barring a huge boost from Sonic. --- 99% of people just make up statistics on the spot.

Why wouldn't it be? Snake/Sora proved that there is a degree of
Playstation SFF out there, especially with the widely played games on
it. No, it didn't. Sora went down from 28.93 to 25.69. 3% is a very small amount of "SFF", especially considering what Aeris did to Sora in 2k3. That amount could as easily be made up by picture factor as by SFF. --- 99% of people just make up statistics on the spot. If you are part of the 1%, post this in your sig |

Sora looked even stronger in 2k5 than he
did in 2k4 right up until he got his face kicked in. 55%+ on Alucard is
no joke, considering Ganondorf did only 2% better. Sure that was
Ganondorf 2k4, but looking at Link 2k4 I'd say he gained nicely that
year. And does anyone have percentage by the hour for this match? Snake is really impressing me here. --- *kills self Commit it to memory. |

Vincent has a chance if you go by the
stats, but Sonic has been clearly more impressive than Ganondorf
lately. He's counting on another Zelda boost to make that win happen
for him, and despite what HM (and Zelda's performances) would have you
believe, I'm not feeling it. --- *kills self Commit it to memory. |

Well, KH, you've said before that you thought Ganon 2k5 was stronger
than Vincent 2k5, and Sonic's only expected to get 53.79% on Vincent
2k5. In that case, year over year/random variation could be enough to
hand the victory to Vincent, since he only did a percent worse than
that on Ganon. --- 99% of people just make up statistics on the spot. If you are part of the 1%, post this in your sig |

I, like HM have Sonic with 51%, but Vincent winning wouldn't be a shocker, and it would be completely awesome. The only person who I would be happier about ruining the Noble 9 is Crono, but that's not happening, plus Smurf would probably kill himself. --- Portugal. The Man Cheer Up Emo Kids |

Ganondorf 2k5 is in my mind a lil' bit lower than Vincent 2k5's value. Kirby, I believe I pegged it. Even then Vincent would have a chance going by the stats, of course...but again, I'm not feeling it. Sonic's been more impressive than Ganondorf everywhere it counts lately, and by a good margin as well. Vincent's win was very impressive, but I couldn't see Sonic that close to the -dorf. --- *kills self Commit it to memory. |

Who was a Snake disbeliever? People have him losing to MM... that's not
exactly not believing in Snake, it's called what's expected and logical
using past years stats. Sure Snake can beat MM, but he is deservingly
the underdog. There's one person calling for him to lose before then,
and it's me to Dante. And I don't even believe myself. --- Portugal. The Man Cheer Up Emo Kids |

I don't know if Sonic boosted again or not, but as somebody who took
Mega Man > Sonic last year, I've felt like ever since their match
last year that Sonic would win the rematch this year...I think he'll be
a bit stronger, and CATS may support that, I just don't know if it'll
be enough to help him match or beat Mega Man's performance against
Crono or even pull the upset. It's hard to say. --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Adam Sandler (#1) |

For what it's worth, Solid/Squall/maybe Soma are mainly night-strong

bit. That said though, yeah, this is probably the strongest Solid we've
