Link, Cloud, and Sephiroth are better characters than both Zelda and Sub-Zero.

Sub-Zero > The Triforce trio

I do say that those are heart stabbing lies.

I'm going to laugh if Zelda/Aeris isn't even that close (winner gets 53% or more).

- Samus will fail to double Rikku

Im honestly expecting SMAUS to triple Rikku acctually >_>. Fact.

- Peach will break 30% on Tifa


Fact. Ill be pretty surprised and just disapointed if that doesnt happen.


- More than 50% of brackets will have Zelda winning her match against Aeris


Fiction. While I belive Zelda has more support on this match, I just dont think 50% of the brackets are for her.


- Yuna will break 55% on Chunners

Fact. Hell, Rikku managed to somewhat dent Freggin Ryu.

Poor Ryu.

Wow...Sub-Zero is impressing me. I can't believe how much stronger Sub-Zero is than Scorpion, though maybe the new MK games really made a big difference on MK characters lately. Maybe MC isn't as weak as I (and most people) thought with close matches after MC lost to Subby.

But, one thing really bothers me: what happened to Alucard? It looks like Auron either fluked in Round 1, Alucard decreased a whole lot, or ...well, or maybe Sub-Zero is actually above 30% on BL and that MC isn't that non-linear, hahaha.

The coolest people are able to enjoy Zelda games immensely while still having the rationality to categorize Link as one of the, if not THE worst character ever.

Man, I can't wait until Link grunts stupidly in TP...actually, I can, seeing as how Nintendo's not getting any support for the Wii from me for a long time!

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.

Just saw this. People are calling Bowser the turd of the round? I thought he redeemed himself. So he wasn't as strong as his match against Snake suggested. Big surprise. I'd hardly call it bombing though. Yeah, he bombed the beginning of the match, seeing how he went 50-50 with Sephiroth before. But he didn't do that badly...

and that MC isn't that non-linear, hahaha.

I've been fairly vocal about this for a while now. I do think that MC overperformed a couple of points on Crono, but due to the lightsaber more than any magical fanbase loyalty.

I think Auron will push 60% by the end of this match, but I think KH2 probably helped him out a fair bit - perhaps 3 to 4 points. I think Auron will get about 45% on Crono (I don't foresee any SFF there).

It matters to me because that's the only thing about that match that stands out. After the awesome year that Bowser had in 2005, to go down with merely a whimper was downright pitiful.

God, would you shut the hell up about Vyse falling off the map already? If he was going to fall off the map he would have done it well before 2K5, he got SFFed, just give it up already. Now moving on, Terra and Joanna are just fodder, getting owned harder than you should isn't really bad, if you're already ass, you can't get much worse. Calling those two turds certainly isn't deserving. They were pathetic sure, but not surprisingly pathetic. Bowser, had every reason to be overrated, and only ends up looking slightly overrated last year, just because he absolutely bombed in the beginning doesn't mean he is a turd, trends don't determine strength, finishing % does. Squall? Jesus, some people really need to get over the fact that SFF can occur in matches outside of the same game or company.

So you think there was some weird SFF between Tifa and Vyse, but not between Aeris and KOS-MOS?

Explain that one to me.

As for Squall, he had every reason to make that a close match, and turds are decided based on expectations going into their match. Most, if not all of us figured Squall had improved enough since 2002 to break 45% on Snake, and a few diehards had him breaking the Noble NIne. He went and bombed completely.

He bombed completely? NOBODY picked him to win that match. NOBODY. He had to turn around 20% (in actuality, more than that because 2005 Snake > 2002 Snake) just to meet expectations? No wonder you think he bombed.

Alucard's been on a downward spiral for the last couple of years.

Speaking of which, that doesn't bode extremely well for Kratos...assuming Auron is at Squall 2k5's level (being VERY optimistic here), Alucard is at 25.00 on BL this year, and Kratos is at 22.24, below what adjusting through Sora 2k4 gets him. That doesn't make Ryu look good either.

Now, of course Alucard could have dropped again this year and Kratos could have boosted, but given my very optimistic level for Auron it's not too inspiring.

Err...That should read 10%, not 20%.

Either way, expecting such a huge swing in what is essentially an SFF match is extremely difficult. It's why some people are very reluctant to accept a much lower swing for the likes of Bowser, Yoshi, and Luigi.

Squall underperformed the Oracle expectations by about 2 points, FWIW.

And I don't see how Squall 2K5 is optimistic for Auron.

I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking this, but your vehement rejection of Squall's complete and utter suckfest of a match might have something to do with you using Squall's image to pleasure yourself to.
