I think Ceej should abandon the sprite "round" and just use sprites
when the matchup calls for it - Mega Man/Ryu, for instance, would make
a great Hadouken/Charge Shot sprite pic. This is something I could agree with. Rather then have "themed" rounds, just having pics that work from battle to battle sounds good. Although Cjay does a good job with his self-imposed restraint, I think he'd could improve by removing said limit. --- Z1mZum>Redtooth Nice list, I counted twenty that would be in my top ten - BlondeAfroHero7 |

now I don't think it'll actually hurt her since her name is friggin' Zelda, but the picture itself is pretty bad. Heh, Zelda might actually do better with an unrecognizable picture, thanks to the name factor. In fact, in a pictureless match, I might be tempted to take Zelda over Samus. And HM is right, LttP Zelda is awesome. Plus she follows you around a bunch at the beginning of the game, so pretty much everyone who's played LttP (85% of the site) should recognize her. --- 99% of people just make up statistics on the spot.

Personally, I like those Round 3 pictures. One thing about this sprite
round is that the background faces of the characters really stick out;
I don't think anyone will get hurt much by their picture...I could be
wrong. Auron/Sub-Zero is the best Round 2 pic EVAR, too. =p At this time, Sonic has 53.43%, while Ganondorf had 49.96%, +3.5% for Sonic. At the 30 minute mark, Sonic had 54.52% while Ganondorf had 50.20%, +4.3% for Sonic. Can Sonic keep doing worse in relationship to Ganondorf, and lose?!

Snake won't be as screwed as he was the last two years. The neutral
white background and his recognizable face right behind the sprite will
make things more even than the sprite pictures in 2004 and 2005
(especially 2004, where Snake looked like a piece of turd sprawled
across some grainyass ground). --- The Little Mermaid 2-Disc Platinum Edition DVD Coming October 3, 2006 |

Vincent hasn't even won a 15 minute update yet (though he did get
close, with a loss by 1 vote) during his best time, so I really doubt
he'll split the day vote with Sonic. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

And while Sonic should definitely get favored with the day vote, I
don't think it's going to be ugly or anything. Tifa's tendencies don't
really fall in line with other FFVII characters. Vincent's best time is
definitely now, but he should hold up really well against Sonic's day
vote. I really
don't think he's going to win or anything, but keeping it really close
(percentage-wise) by the end should be within his capability. --- The Master Sword is the most sought-after blade in Hyrule. He who wields it carries with him the hope of the kingdom. |

Oh thank goodness, the sprite round. Looks like my theory about Master
Chief forcing the delay in 2005 may have been right (or maybe Ceej just
doesn't want to deal with the massive amounts of whining in Snake/Mega
Man). I love that Zelda/Aeris picture. No excuses for Aeris if she loses, she's got all the intangibles there. Similarly, barring Snake getting his head blasted off again there's no excuse for him against Mega Man. The ball's in Snake's corner, Mega Man has basically painted a target on him that says "UPSET ME"...if he's stronger he'll win, plain and simple. --- *kills self Commit it to memory. |

And Vincent is doing quite nicely here. Sonic should take off with the
day vote, but Vinnie's making an impressive performance here. I don't
think this tells us much about Sonic/Crono...maybe a slight edge to
Crono, but that's more out of considering him the favorite since the
beginning. --- *kills self Commit it to memory. |

According to last year performance, squall's strength was definitely
close to the likes of Bowser and Vincent. Squall even had a slight KH2
boost this year. On the other hand, Ryu who was a great contender in
the past dropped tremendously in his match against Bowser. Most agrue
that Bowser had overperformed in that match however Ryu only break 45%
on Rikku in the 1st round and i mean Rikku is definitely a midcarder.
Just ask yourself, did Ryu strength drop or did Rikku and Bowser
overperform. Btw, Ryu lost to Bowser in a score of 59-41. In short, Squall was definitely much stronger than Ryu. Squall had improved to that point that he can be considered as one of the strongest nn9 member. If you guys can say Squall vs Snake contain SFF factor, why not Ryu vs Megaman too. Many user says that they see no connection between those two(Ryu and MM). Lets us compare the SFF factors here. Squall VS Snake (SFF factor) 1. They are on the same system. PS,PS2,PC Megaman VS Ryu (SFF factor) 1.They are from the same company and they are known as capcom icon. 2.Their games are often on the same system. PS,GBA,GB,NES,ARC,PS2,SNES,PSP and etc. 3.They are even in the same games. In short, Megaman vs Ryu definitely contain heavier SFF than Snake vs Squall. Conclusion, if Snake can score 47.6 on Squall and Megaman can only score 48% on the much weaker opponent and SFF in his favour, the result is quite clear, Snake has a great chance of beating MM. --- After his match with Dante, Yoshi will do respectable against Snake |

the idea of SFF is that we call it when the winning character
overperforms. there's really nothing we can say about SFF in that match
unless you think that Ryu would have done even better
- which is something that would hurt to even think about. I highly
doubt that Ryu "rSFFed" Mega Man - MVC SFF or SNES SFF just doesn't
make sense. and I think at that point you're overanalyzing the match
anyway. MM just sucked it up vs. Ryu. simple as that. --- xyzzy |

plus, once you hit that near-elite level, there's going to be a shared
fanbase no matter what. Sonic and Mario have overlap. Zelda and Final
Fantasy have overlap. Mega Man and Resident Evil have overlap. the difference is that there has to be significant overlap and that the voters have to overwhelmingly take one side to make it look obvious. with Ryu vs. MM, it's not obvious at all, so I'd rather not call for anything just because MM performed under my expectations. --- xyzzy |

| transience | Posted 10/25/2006 11:55:17 PM | message detail |

the only reason Snake and Squall is called SFF is because we have prior
evidence of Snake overperforming on Sora. plus, Snake already beat
Squall with 65% in 2002 - either he boosted through the freaking roof
in 2003 or something funky happened in 2002 as well. MGS and Square
have shown their shared fanbase in the past and so it was a lot easier
to spot. if we didn't have that, there'd be a lot of people screaming
about Snake winning the main bracket right about now. --- xyzzy |

extend of defeating him. If Bowser can't defeat Snake in the sprite

I'm definitely not feeling a Yoshi overperformance here. Sure we'll need to actually see the picture to confirm it, but these are sprites with very
recognizable face shots as the background. The last time Snake got that
kind of picture, it was during Snake/Ryu and I have heard very
few people calling for Ryu overperforming significantly there. And that
face shot wasn't very recognizable at all, this one should be much
clearer. I expect Snake to put most of this crap to rest in his match against Yoshi. --- *kills self Commit it to memory. |
