Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship:
Week 5: W, 35-15 vs. Darkwing Duck

And by these battles I mean actual contests, not 2002 which I would say is a "non-canon" character battle <_<

yeah, well my bias had me taking Vincent to win his division last year! it's just too bad that he couldn't pull it off again this year....

Vincent Valentine to win the Blast Division!!
Karma Hunter | Posted 10/28/2006 9:23:30 PM | message detail
Yeah, Mega Man's probably our #1 choice for the most consistent character over the years, and he's going to lose that title this year if he doesn't pull himself out from his slump.

Knuckles/Magus was a one point match for me!!

For me as well! Though Squall taking the division didn't turn out that much better...

I almost had Knuckles taking that match, too, until I remembered that Magus was the guy who beat Ganondorf...damn my Ganon overestimation.

THEJackSparrow | Posted 10/28/2006 9:24:49 PM | message detail
I almost might have considered Knuckles > Magus if it hadn't been for the fact that Knuckles was below Tidus in 2004. Couldn't have predicted such a nice boost for the Sonic Team in 2005.

Looking back, FFX characters tend to have very stable matches as far % swings go.

What else did my Ganondorf overestimation cause me to do in 2005?

-considered Ganondorf > Sephiroth in the VC
-had Ganondorf > Samus in my bracket until the week before lockdown
-had Tidus taking the Dream Division because he almost beat Ganondorf

...darn you ganon

If Auron doesn't get this over 60%, then I am honestly shocked and susprised at Sub-Zero's strength. Shame he still has a day vote to stand up to, which by logic would favour Auron.

My bias against Ganondorf cost me in 2005 because I had Auron over him, but 2006 totally made up for it with Vincent!

The only way he gets a predictable path where he doesn't advance is if he's a 16 seed -- and even then it's not a guaranteed loss!

Heh, with Auron 2k5 Sub-Zero is projected to be 26% on BL right now. And if he's underrated at all and/or Auron increased from KH2, it gets that much better.

Good thing this is Subbie's best time, because Auron's going to use his extra time wisely!

Sub-Zero > Ganondorf? You betcha!

And this is Sub-Zero's best time? Eh, his peak percentage was at 5:50 A.M. EST.

Auron/Alucard was like one constant increase for Auron, but Alucard's day vote sucks.

Honestly, I can't see giving Turd of the Round to fodder we knew was going to get killed because they got killed worse than we thought.

Bowser bombed. Hard.

I would have said Bowser before he managed to gain a whole bunch of percentage and make him being overrated not be so extreme. Right now, I'd have to say it's Mega Man.

Karma Hunter | Posted 10/28/2006 9:40:49 PM | message detail
Bowser ended up doing respectably by the end of his match, honestly. No one really expected him to win, and if anything he was only overrated by a modest amount.

Mega Man's performance, on the other hand, projects him to lose to Bowser. Yeah...

Meh, Mega Man disappointed, but he still didn't bomb like Bowser did, honestly. Ryu always breaks 40% on a Noble Niner. The Blue Bomber just resigned himself to his fate.

Bowser did redeem himself. If he ended near how he looked in the first few hours, then yeah, I'd agree.

I guess it's Mega Man...but that's only if this is the same Ryu we saw in 2005, which I doubt.

And even gaining a bunch of percentage throughout the day doesn't save Bowser from that dishonor for me. The way Crono killed him during the night was just shocking.
