(1) Sora Duh. (4) Master Chief No way Scorpion beats the Chief, Subby had a hard enough time as it was. We'll need to see MK get a resurgence of popularity before Scorpion has a chance here. (6) Magus Um...crap. I guess Magus is the 'safe' pick here, but I hardly feel comfortable doing it. (2) Sub-Zero HAW HAW AITCH EMM (1) Sora ...yeah. (6) Magus Whoever comes out of Leon/Magus basically has a bye here. (1) Sora I think Sora can edge this out, but I'd really like to see him impress on MM before being certain. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

...which reminds me. Scorpion vs. Ken, who ya got? Sub-Zero looks like he's going to be able to give Ryu a bit of a fight as it is, and Scorpion should be closer to Sub-Zero than Ken is to Ryu... --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

I'm not predicting that because of having to choose Sub-Zero. That's terrible. And Scorpion v. Ken? Give me Masters for now. --- "Let's face it: the princess Zelda has always been a symbol of sexual desire." |

Ryu > Sub > Scorp > Ken I have a hard time imagining many people going Sub > MC > Scorp, so I could see Scorpion winning that match. of course I could see MC winning it too, but I really don't think the difference is all that great. --- xyzzy |

I'd have to go with Cait Sith sadly for the joke division, and Magus in the other one. I doubt he's fallen THAT much.

The thing about Scorpion is that unlike Sub-Zero, he generates a bit of
anti-votes thanks to his overexposure. Come on, I couldn't have been
the only one annoyed back in the day with people yelling, "GET OVER
HERE" and "TOASTY" ad nauseum. Scorpion doesn't get embarrassed, but I don't see him winning. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Leon is a proven character, but Magus did go toe to toe with Ganondorf while Leon only got about 44% on Bowser. That's too much ground to make up IMO TuRtLe ~~~ 55/62 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

(1) Sora (5) Scorpion (3) Leon Kennedy (2) Sub-Zero I've always been big on Leon Kennedy and after his match with Bowser, it looks like he hit my projections pre-contest.

Leon is a proven character, but Magus did go toe to toe with
Ganondorf while Leon only got about 44% on Bowser. That's too much
ground to make up IMO ...Leon going 55/45 now is much more impressive than going 50/50 with Ganon back in 2003. I'm a huge Ganon supporter, but it's Ganon who has since proven himself to be something and gotten back to his old (overrated) value. Magus has no such luck. And, uh, remember Tidus being equal with these two as well? ...Yeah. Things have changed. --- "Let's face it: the princess Zelda has always been a symbol of sexual desire." |

Think of it this way, would you take Leon over Knuckles? Because I sure wouldn't. Yes. I take Leon over Ryu and possibly Dante as well. There's no need to underestimate Leon here. It's not a foregone conclusion, but Leon is perfectly capable of winning that match and that division. --- "Let's face it: the princess Zelda has always been a symbol of sexual desire." |

I'd like to think Tidus was a tad bit stronger back then compared to
now. Granted 2k3 values should be taken with a grain of salt, but I
think that that gap is a little too much for Leon to overcome, unless
he gets another big game or something. TuRtLe ~~~ 55/62 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

I was talking about this earlier... I think I still take Ryu, and it
has nothing to do with his performance on Mega Man. I was thinking that
after round 1, Ryu just will not go down so easily. Leon is no joke
though, he's definitely capable of doing some damage. --- xyzzy |

Leon winning that division is possible, but not likely. I just can't see him beating Magus, overrated or not. TuRtLe ~~~ 55/62 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

Based on a constant Crono, Leon gets 47.5% on Magus 2k5. If Magus is
overrated there at all -- and he could very well be just to being such
a massive favorite when he went down -- that makes that match that much
closer. I take Magus now, but Leon winning is a very real possibility,
and I'd be very uneasy if that match came up. When does Umbrella Chronicles or RE5 come out? That would definitely tip my favor to Leon if he got either before the match. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

With Bowser's performance on Crono, wasn't it extrapolated that Leon only went up 1 or 2%? Looking at the (lol) x-stats, he's still pretty far off Knuckles, overrated or not.

...is it just me, or is Auron winning the night vote? dunno why this would be a surprise - Auron was a night vote kinda guy before KH and there's no reason for that to change. plus his first round opponent for Alucard, so it's not like winning the day vote is a big thing there. Auron is probably better in the day now than he used to be, but I'd expect Auron to still be better at night by a little bit. --- xyzzy |

If Leon gets a release like RE5 or the compilation, I will definitely
take him to win the division. Otherwise, I have him losing closely, but
comfortably against Magus TuRtLe ~~~ 55/62 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

You trust Knuckles if you like -- while I like the Devil Division being
more or less spot on, Knuckles doesn't get off the hook that easily.
Being projected to go 50/50 with Snake 2k4 doesn't square with me. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

When does Umbrella Chronicles or RE5 come out? That would definitely tip my favor to Leon if he got either before the match. Sometime in 2007, but I'm not sure when. I would like to see something like RE4 with slightly increased graphics, a bunch of extras, and then Wii Remote controls on the Wii though! << With Bowser's performance on Crono, wasn't it extrapolated that Leon only went up 1 or 2%? ~2.6%, yes. Knuckles is favored by the stats by a bit, certainly, but that doesn't mean he's a guaranteed win. In any case, Magus, as stated earlier, would be a "safe pick" but it's hardly something that isn't debatable. --- "Let's face it: the princess Zelda has always been a symbol of sexual desire." |

I never said it wasn't debatable. I'd take Magus, but I would only be about 70% comfortable. TuRtLe ~~~ 55/62 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

I just have a feeling that Magus is suffering from being exposed, in
the sense that alot of people will underrate him in his next appearance
for fear of getting burned. TuRtLe ~~~ 55/62 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

(1) Sora (4) Master Chief (6) Magus (2) Sub-Zero Sora > Magus I'm sort of surprised Sora isn't the favorite here. The only hard match in my mind is Leon vs Magus, though the winner does have a shot at Sora, I suppose... --- Take off every sig. |

Magus being overrated to that extent isn't the problem, it's Knuckles. Snake (2004c) VS Knuckles (2005c) Snake has a strength of 33.05. Knuckles has a strength of 32.49. Snake wins with 50.85% of the vote! A win of 1,522 with 89,807 total votes cast. That is NOT a believable boost for Knuckles, and I'm not buying his 'true strength' being hidden all the time thanks to Snake either (or else that should have affected all the characters that have been behind him, i.e. Yuna and Kefka). Especially when he coincidentally has such a great match right after his shocking upset of Magus, when the board decided to bandwagon him like crazy in a direct response to that. I can easily see Knux overperforming there, and that would overrate Magus as well. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

I'll wait until his match with Mega Man before passing final judgement on Sora, but I doubt he's that high. TuRtLe ~~~ 55/62 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

you can put me in the "uh sorry knuckles but no" camp too - give me Ryu
vs. Knuckles and I take Ryu. I probably take Leon too. Knuckles could
win that match, but I'd pick against what the stats say there. --- xyzzy |

People are just bummed on Sora because of Gordon Freeman (y'know, the
same thing that happened to Mega Man last year). I don't see him losing
to Ryu, so unless Ryu fluked that percentage on MM he should do very
well there. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |
| zwong1 | Posted 10/29/2006 1:23:08 AM | message detail |

Did Gordon have any boost this year because i don't think 64% against
Gordon is a very sign of Kh2 boost. If Kh2 boost was really big, Sora
should at least broke 66% on Gordon Freeman. I think Sora will most probably only break 43% on Megaman considering Megaman is the King of Sprite round. --- After his match with Dante, Yoshi will do respectable against Snake |

Mind if i ask a question, why does no one believe that Cloud and
Sephiroth have the strength to defeat Link after Kh2 boost. Of course,
i am a Link supporter but i just find it strange that almost 85% of the
user here think that link will definitely without a doubt win the
battle royal. --- After his match with Dante, Yoshi will do respectable against Snake |

About Auron winning the night vote. It just shows how polarized Chief
and Alucard are, seeing as Master Chief got a nice swing against Sub,
and Auron did too against Alucard. Makes me think they would
practically double one another during their respective best times. --- Take off every sig. |

Of course, i am a Link supporter but i just find it strange that
almost 85% of the user here think that link will definitely without a
doubt win the battle royal. It probably has something to do with the fact that Link has exactly one loss in his entire contest history -- and that was back in 2003. For as "competitive" as it seems, Link has been completely and utterly dominate year in and year out. What occurred in 2003 was a voter shift toward Square. It was more of a unique situation than something that is standard. Kingdom Hearts II did come out, but I wouldn't imagine very many people are figuring that will be enough to topple Link. It's pretty clear that there is no such voter shift occurring again and characters who appeared in KH and now in KH2 don't really seem to be doing much. Even new FF characters aren't exactly monsters after it. On top of all this, Link is already clearly ahead of Cloud and has Twilight Princess right on the horizon. It's not "one year from being out" hype; rather, it's "Holy crap tomorrow I can get Twilight Princess and I already like Link more" hype. Hell, if there is so much as a one day "break" in between the main bracket and Battle Royale, or some other odd occurrence, then Link/Cloud falls on TP release day. --- "Let's face it: the princess Zelda has always been a symbol of sexual desire." |

Bah, I just glanced at MM/Yoshi's picture and completely forgot that
