Don't compare Vincent to Snake.

You're right, I probably shouldn't be comparing vincent to crap. :P

Let's see, where did I get Squall and Sora's numbers from...

I set Snake = Sonic arbitrarily, derived Squall from that. I derived Dante through Squall, then set Yoshi to end at 50.70% on Dante, derived Riku from that. Then I calculated how much stronger Riku 06 is compared to Riku 05, and gave Sora a proportional boost from 04, since his 05 value is off. Whew...

Maybe I should boost Snake more? Snake/Squall SFF? I don't like Squall that low, either.

It's either a Snake boost and/or Snake/Squall SFF, because the man is NOT losing to Sora, directly or indirectly.

Snake has other things to his credit, and it's not like we don't have the Snake/MM match to look forward to assuming nothing funky happens there. But yeah, Snake/Squall SFF is pretty much a given unless Snake boosted through the roof.

You know an occasion that we forgot to celebrate? The Noble Nine going 100-0 against non-Noble Nine opponents, the mark we hit when Solid Snake beat Soma Cruz in the first round.

Solid Snake beating Squall Leonhart makes the Noble Nine 105-0 against non-Noble Nine competition.

Just like since Yoshi got beat down by Mega Man, he couldn't possibly be as strong as we thought he was right? SFF doesn't mean anything anyways!

You know, I just realized that, as I was putting in the 6th seeded Yoshi into the 3rd round in my Character Battle spreadsheet...

The females bracket has had TWO seeding upsets so far. Two through two rounds.

Not to mention, they're the two seeding upsets that the majority of the board figured would happen (Rikku > Kairi and Chun-Li > Lara).

Laharl is at 17.24%, but that really has no bearing on Ocelot/Pac-Man since they were adjusted for SFF, anyway. If you really want to know, Pac-Man is at 17.79% and Ocelot is at 17.34%.

THEJackSparrow | Posted 10/23/2006 4:44:27 PM | message detail
It's easier to adjust Pac-Man either based on Ocelot's 2005 Villains Contest number or Kefka's 2005 number since I doubt he has changed significantly.

Still, that makes Laharl look oddly impressive, all things considered. That means he could have a close match with Big Boss, Cecil, Geno, and Lloyd.

Laharl being that strong is kind of unlikely, although I suppose Disgaea is the kind of game that got more popular as time passed. Still, is is another piece of evidence in favor of the Nintendo boost Mk.II this year.

I don't think Yoshi or Dante are as strong as Dante's 2005 value. That puts Riku way too high.

But either way, a second boost makes Leon Kennedy look really strong if Bowser got hold of it, and Sonic would be in big trouble.

Laharl is worthless to compare stats on...he's Laharl. Look at what happened to Vyse in 2k5 and tell me that Laharl couldn't have been significantly different either, especially since his one and only appearance was in a fodder/fodder match that could have probably been significantly closer if you just swapped the seeding and made him the top option.

Who's to say if there was a second Nintendo boost it didin't benefit Sonic as well? I find it odd that Sonic and Knuckles both boosted up the wazoo the same year a huge Nintendo boost happened.

oh hey, that reminds me - how about KHF, EC?

What does KHF have to do with anything? Riku is a KH character, there's a massive difference between a boost and a factor. The only thing good about this match is that we will get a good reading on Yoshi.
