Nah, Phoenix Wright will be back. He's getting a new game to keep the fad alive.

Just look at KoaC. New game, fad alive, did not come back.

KoAC's a little different from Phoenix Wright. Objection! will probably be used to rally for him again as well.

I think the (probable) fact that Phoenix will end up near the fodder line is proof enough that Gordon Freeman isn't all that linear. Gordon's only losing about 5-6% worse today, though, so he won't look all that much different last year. Sora seems to have a tendency to look mediocre against weaker opponents, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Sora bring Gordon Freeman above his 2K5 value, though.

Also, another thing...Sora didn't even have KH2 last year, and he was arguably stronger than Tidus was. I think that's proof enough that he's more liked by his fanbase than Tidus is, since I wouldn't take KH over FFX in a popularity contest.

Looking at tomorrow...considering Mega Man beat Leon Kennedy 9% worse than Bowser did, I would be shocked beyond belief to see Mega Man fail to match Bowser's percentage on Ryu tomorrow.

Nah, Phoenix Wright will be back. He's getting a new game to keep the fad alive.

If Phoenix can make this contest as a FOUR-seed (of course, he could've been adjusted up a lot), he'll definitely make the next contest with a new game.

For what it's worth, that's more Leon's fault that Bowser's. If he broke 40% in a rematch with Mega Man, I wouldn't be surprised.

Why can't certain people just accept that Gordon isn't transitive in the stats? He's probably going to look the same as last year, or better, but that's just because of who he faced. Put him up against Jill Valentine and watch him look like ass. MC/Gordon would be the best match ever BTW.

Well I didn't blatantly say it for Zero because I didn't want to look biased and make any excuses for him. I did hint at it by saying that I don't think Luigi will end up as strong as his beating of Zero makes him appear to be.

Destiny Division: Round 2 - Match 44 – (6)Ryu vs. (2)Mega Man

Moltar’s Analysis

Ryu
Round 1 – 57.11% vs. Kratos (42.89%)

Kratos puts up a good fight against Ryu.

Mega Man
Round 1 – 69.87% vs. Axel (30.13%)

Axel likewise does very well against Mega Man.

Well, these two didn’t have impressive Round 1 performances. Yeah, we all knew Kratos was underrated, but after Leon did so well against Bowser, Ryu is looking very bad. Mega Man also failed to put up 70% on Axel, who isn’t even one of the main characters. I mean, if Axel can break 30%, what about Sora?

Let’s not get ahead though, and focus on this match. Yeah, Mega Man should win it, but we also will find out about Ryu’s value. Has he fallen even farther since 2005, or is he underrated/overrated thanks to Bowser. As for Mega Man, he’s going to need to look good here, because ahead he has Crono, Snake, and even Sora gunning for him.

I don’t think Mega Man can be connected to Zero like some people want to do (since Zero lost to Luigi, this means Mega Man is weaker too!!), but I also can’t say MM impressed me last round. According to last year’s numbers, Mega Man wins with 61%. I think he can outperform Bowser, but I also don’t think he’ll land too far from those projected numbers.

Moltar’s Bracket Says: Mega Man will win.

Moltar’s Prediction is: Ryu: 38% - Mega Man: 62%



Ulti’s Analysis

Ryu is slowly working his way through the entire Noble Nine, and he may very well break 40% on all of them. That's his shtick. Sucks that he had such a predictable path though.

Prediction: Mega Man with 58.67%



HM’s Analysis

Ryu

Previous Matches:

Ryu – 57.11% -- 66,198

Kratos – 42.89% -- 49,713

Mega Man

Previous Matches:

Mega Man – 69.87% -- 81,959

Axel – 30.13% -- 35,340

Both of these two characters weren’t able to meet expectations in the last round. Mega Man, in particular, shocked a good number of people by not even getting 70% against Axel of all characters. He was untested certainly, but it didn’t speak well of him after how many blowouts he’s able to get. On the other hand, Ryu wasn’t able to hit 60% against Kratos, but there was reason enough to suspect that would be the case after Kratos’s game sold so well and he could have be underrated last year.

I’m not sure we’ll be able to take too much away from this match unless Ryu is able to snatch over 40% of the vote. Some people have tossed around some silly Capcom SFF, but I highly doubt we see anything that suspect in this match. It should be a pretty normal match, but I’m unsure of what the general expectation is here. Ryu could possibly be overrated and Mega Man could have potentially dropped. It should be interesting to see, but the end result is Mega Man with ease.

Aitch Emm’s Bracket: Mega Man

Aitch Emm’s Prediction: Mega Man – 62% ; Ryu – 38%

Aitch Emm’s Vote: Mega Man



Yoblazer’s Analysis

Here we have a match between two of the video game industry's all-time legends. Mega Man will attempt to show us that it'll take more than an awful picture to keep him from kicking ass, and Ryu will be gunning for his fourth very respectable performance against his fourth different Noble 9 opponent.

This match's result is not at all in question, but the margin of victory certainly is. On the one hand, Ryu has faced top-notch competition in the past, including Samus, Snake, Sonic, and a Bowser which probably needed some drug testing. Despite the caliber of his opponents, Ryu has not once failed to break 40%. He is an ultra-consistent performer, and it's very difficult to picture him getting destroyed by all but the most powerful of contest performers (i.e. Link and Cloud).
Master Moltar | Posted 10/24/2006 7:52:11 PM | message detail
On the other hand, Mega Man is extremely good at beating people up. In fact, the only time he has beaten a non-Noble 9 opponent with less than 60% was his 2004 match against Zero, and that was an SFF match (where spooky **** tends to go down) at a time when Zero was actually good. Simply put, the Blue Bomber knows how to win and win big.

Obviously, these conflicting opinions make it tough for me to confidently predict a percentage. While it's very difficult for me to picture Ryu not hitting 40% for the first time ever (especially with the aid of that terrible MM picture), it's also difficult to imagine Mega Man failing to outperform Bowser and not hitting 60%. So, just how does one satisfy both sides of the argument? With a 60/40 prediction, of course! See! Math good!

My prediction: Mega Man def. Ryu (60-40)



Lopen’s Analysis

So, let's do the rundown here. What we've seen is Mega Man… is a Mario character. Given his weird little display against Yoshi, we know they share the same blood. However, what we've also seen… is that Ryu too, is a Mario Bros. character. "What?", you say? It's all true… remember Ryu got 45% on Sonic in 2004. In 2005 he barely scraped up 40% against Bowser. Now we all know that Sonic would beat Bowser handily! So what does this mean? That's right, Super Mario Bros. series SFF!

Still doubting? How about the new Mario Party 9? I've got the scoop on this one:

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c38/NeoX-Death/MarPart9.jpg

As we can see from how well Ryu's doing, he's clearly not just making some random cameo appearance. 2 Shines? Beating Mario and Peach at their own game? Oh yeah, believe it. Ryu's been doing this for years, and it shows. Mega Man, on the other hand isn't doing so well… but he's in the game, at least! Even if he's a recent addition, he's a Mario character too!

Okay… that wasn't all just for my amusement. I really think we could see some weird results here. I'm not sure where the "Super Mario Brothers SFF" goes in this one, though. However, I want to say Mega Man. It seems like that should be the case. Of course, Ryu's higher on the pecking order than Yoshi, so it won't be too bad. But rest assured, Ryu is better than this match result will make him look!

Lopen's prediction: Mega Man with 63.18%

Summer 2005 Contest
Extrapolated Strength --- 7th Place [35.55%]

Mega Man has a tough fight (well, for a fodder blowout) with Axel last round, though Axel's strength has yet to be determined. He's certainly looking to impress here, that's for sure.

RYU

Summer 2004 Contest
Extrapolated Strength --- 16th Place [29.84%]

Summer 2005 Contest
Extrapolated Strength --- 25th Place [27.47%]

Ryu comes off a good win against a surprisingly tough Kratos...and he keeps up his streak of winning a match every year (now being the weakest character to do so). His road ends here, of course. It's so odd how he's only made the Sweet Sixteen twice in his long contest career. o.O

Notable Releases Since Last Appearance

Mega Man: N/A
Ryu: N/A

Upcoming Releases

Mega Man: N/A
Ryu: N/A

This is a fitting match. Both characters are Capcom, both get by nowadays with nothing but the occasional low-budget rehash, and as such both character's popularities seem resistant to change. Mega Man seems to have more longevitity here though, and I'm feeling a dominant match on his part, match picture be damned. Nothing else to say, though I'm hoping Ryu can perhaps redeem himself here. I'm just not counting on it.

Karma Hunter's Vote: Mega Man. Metal Blades > Hadoken (which MM has anyway so nyah)

Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Mega Man with 65.48%.

Pure stats here. Putting Ryu at where his match with Kratos suggests, using Sora 2k4 to adjust Kratos. Then use a constant MM and there ya go.

Upset Potential: 0%

Ryu's peak has come and gone here, and only a true revival of the SF series will ever bring him back.



Guest’s Analysis - cyko

so, for a good portion of my work day today, i tried to come up with something clever or witty to say about this match. i really did. you know - something about how this analysis sucks and is now about trains or Guitar Hero 2 (which comes out in 2 weeks!! you better buy it!! </shameless plug>) or something like that. but i've got nothing. see? this match is so boring that even the analysis is boring. the outcome of this match has been sealed since the moment the bracket was released. *yawn*

i suppose there is still the matter of ho much Mega Man wins by. was Ryu and the Dream Division actually overrated last year? or has Kratos improved in popularity? has Mega Man lost some of his popularity? or is Axel surprisingly strong? will there be some kind of Capcom SFF? old-school SFF? cheesy anime SFF? "i like both of these guys" SFF? OSFTSTDNGCMCTFIMVC SFF?!?!

meh.

cyko's vote - Mega Man

Crew Consensus: Mega Man, crap picture and all, should win this here match. Consensus says it should end around what last year's stats say.

Match XLIV: (6) Ryu vs. (2) Mega Man

Previous Matches

Ryu
Defeated Kratos, 57.11% - 42.89%

Mega Man
Defeated Axel, 69.87% - 30.13%

Analysis:

Last round Kratos showed that he was underrated because of Sora’s 4-pack and probably gained from the massive sales of GoW since last year by almost getting 43% against Ryu. Mega Man on the other hand wasn’t so impressive letting Axel break 30% making him the least impressive out of the members of the Noble 9.

As usual Ryu gets screwed by bracket placement and gets to face Mega Man. Like Freeman, Ryu is one of the few characters to have never let an opponent break 60% on them and also like Freeman it looks like this will be the first time someone will break 60% as the stats already say that Mega Man would get 61% on a questionable Ryu.

Last year Ryu was in the Dream Division where Bowser probably overperformed on Snake because of the sprite round. Now I’m a big believer on the Dream Division being overrated and we’ve seen all of the members underperform; Tidus was SFF to death by Squall (though it was only SFF), Kirby didn’t destroy Prince of Persia (though he’s new), Ryu didn’t exactly destroy Kratos (even with all Kratos had going for him I would’ve thought he would do better), Bowser almost let Leon break 45% on him, Rikku underperformed against Kairi (by making Jill/Claire constant to what they would get in 2k2 after WDF adjustment) and Chun Li didn’t do so well against Lara (though we don’t have concrete numbers on Lara).

Some people are thinking that Ryu may overperform on Mega Man because of the picture, but really I think the picture would only matter if you couldn’t tell who one of the characters are. By looking at the picture that is clearly none other than Mega Man and I don’t see what the big fuss about the picture.

Like I said this will be the first time that someone would break 60% on Ryu. Not to say Ryu is a weak character, but Mega Man is just that strong. Now we end round 2 of the Destiny Division and as predictable the six matches so far in the division were the last match should be an easy win for Mega Man.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Mega Man over Ryu

charmander6000’s Prediction: Mega Man wins, 63.27% - 36.73%

Big Bob's completely biased and nonsensical analysis

Let me say this right now: Ryu is a HACK. He fell last year, and he's going to fall even more this year. He let Kratos break 40% on him. Kratos is a newb. He's been in two contests and lost two matches. He may have a sequel coming out, but it's going to be on an obsolete system by the time it's out. And Ryu hasn't had anything in forever. Mega Man, however, keeps pumping out games and stretching across systems. He beat Axel, and let's face it: Axel is tough. Riku did well on Yoshi, and Sora is beating a pumped-up Gordon Freeman. For Mega Man to get 70% on him is amazing. And unlike Ryu, Axel isn't a has-been.

Bob's prediction: Mega Man with 80%.
