I got an unrelated stats question...wtf are they doing using "Mad World" as a theme song for a Gears of War commercial? >_>

Anyhow....I wonder how much of an advantage FFXII being put out will be for Aeris...

lol comparing a hand held game to one of the most reserved games this year that doesn't even include the character it supposedly is going to boost.

Seriously, wtf is the logic behind an Aeris boost. Square fans getting reaquainted with the "joys" of final fantasy, and therefore doing something they clearly would never have done before, vote Aeris over Zelda.

Using Sunshine to support your argument would make me just lol @ 2k2.

So going by Crono/Bowser this year, Rikku's retroactive 2K5 value would be 22.6%. That means Samus would be expected to get 70.4% on her. Didn't realize Samus was supposed to get so much. So I guess people are right that Rikku is overperforming a slight bit, but I actually thought she'd have gone up since last year, what with how Yuna's looked and her victory over Kairi looking decent given what KH characters have done. I'm a bit disappointed with Rikku here, though I don't know if that's fair.

Limit Division: Round 3 - Match 50 – (1)Tifa Lockhart vs. (2)Princess Peach

Moltar’s Analysis

Tifa
Round 1 – 76.18% vs. Ivy (23.82%)
Round 2 – 74.55% vs. The Boss (25.45%)

Ouch, The Boss doesn’t look so hot against Tifa.

Peach
Round 1 – 83.10% vs. Daisy (16.90%)
Round 2 – 50.01% vs. Jill (49.99%)

Jill still can’t break that 27 vote barrier against her opponent…

Hmm, in a match that was moderately exciting compared to the male bracket, Peach just barely makes it into Round 2. However, she was facing a Jill who was not at her 2004 strength. (Peach = Ryu H? Get out of my face). So where does this put both Ms. Valentine and the Princess? Low midcarders, which is what most expected them to be. This means they’re nowhere near Tifa’s level, so Tifa wins with blow-out ease.

Heck, low-midcards like Peach don’t belong in the Sweet Sixteen. Low-midcarders lose at the latest Round 2. In fact, let’s look at another low-midcarder who was snubbed thanks to the female bracket, and like Jill, he knows how to put on a good match.

Real Men, Real Snubs - Kefka

A clown. An angel. A piece of lettuce. All these words could be used to describe this character. His name is Kefka, and he’s a real man, and a snub in the 5th Character Battle.

*Shot of Kefka destroying the world*

Kefka entered the Contest scene in 2003, and people had high expectations for him. People thought Final Fantasy 6 characters would be as strong as the characters from other Final Fantasy games. Well, they were soon proven otherwise, because out of the gate, Kefka struggled with Pac-Man…hohoho! In a back and forth battle, the clown nearly beat Pac-Man. His next match then showed him getting destroyed by Crono with over 78% of the vote. Lol ff6, huh?

*Shot of Kefka running from Crono*

Oh, but he was back in 2004 to ruin more brackets! His Round 1 match was against Knuckles, and Kefka was the favorite to win. However, for anyone who thought longer than 3 seconds on this match saw that Knuckles had this all but locked up. I mean, you don’t go from struggling with Pac-Man to beating Knuckles. And that’s what Kefka did…he lost, and with that put a dent in many brackets. Oh Kefka…and even in 2005, “Franz” Kefka was even a bigger bracket favorite than casual favorite Tommy Vercetti! In a match that will be remembered for it’s barriers and craziness, Kefka suffered another crushing blow.

*Shot of Vercetti breaking through Kefka’s barriers*

But where is he now? Not in this Contest. Sure, he’s weak, just like all the other FF6 characters, so why should he come back? Simple, with him around, more people pick him to win in matches he’ll certainly lose. That makes the smart people who don’t pick him look better! Also, in his three years, he’s put on an interesting match each time, and that’s more than the female bracket has given us.

*Shot of Kefka frowning in a lone spotlight*

Kefka. A real man, and a real snub. (And a loser too!)

Moltar’s Bracket Says: Tifa will win.

Moltar’s Prediction is: Tifa: 68% - Peach: 32%



Ulti’s Analysis

Peach had a nice run this contest, including last round's classic. But not even I, Peach's biggest fanboy am dumb enough to think that she has a chance here. Hell, it'll be a moral victory if she so much as breaks 30%.

Prediction: Tifa with 67.67%

Master Moltar | Posted 10/30/2006 8:06:29 PM | message detail
It’s very nice seeing Peach sitting nice in round 3 after just escaping a loss to Jill Valentine. Partially because I prefer Peach and partially because Nintendo/Square encounters are always good to see. Tifa had a pretty solid performance last round as well by disposing of The Boss without much of a problem.

What will be interesting about today’s match is to see just how much strength Peach actually has. We’ve seen her just brutally destroy Daisy and squeak out a close against Jill Valentine. There may be something to the whole “Peach gets votes until she’s up against someone people care about.” Sure, people may care about Jill, but that isn’t the test like this is. It’ll be interesting to see how well Peach holds up.

Tifa isn’t in any sort of danger here one way or another. She can underperform all she wants and it won’t make much difference considering her opponent is Samus. An overperformance might be in the cards, but I doubt it will make much difference unless it’s just a brutal beat down, which I don’t anticipate happening.

This is just another unfortunate no-brainer in the female bracket – and with two characters I don’t particularly care too much about – so on to Zelda’s demolition of Aeris !!

Aitch Emm’s Bracket: Tifa Lockhart

Aitch Emm’s Prediction: Tifa Lockhart – 67% ; Princess Peach – 33%

Aitch Emm’s Vote: Princess Peach



Yoblazer’s Analysis

Tifa will obviously win the match, but I think (the now legendary...sorry Jill) Princess Peach will draw enough Nintendo support to avoid the doubling. And that's... really all I gots to say about that.

My prediction: Tifa Lockheart def. Princess Peach (66-34)



Lopen’s Analysis

Well, I guess Peach wasn't mega fodder after all. Damn, I hate being wrong about outrageous calls. In any case, mega fodder or not, Peach doesn't have a realistic chance. Tifa beat the more popular Luigi last year. It wasn't a commanding victory, but it was a victory nonetheless.

Now the question for the silly %age guessing game is this: How much more popular is Luigi than Peach? Or heck, you know what the real question is? Is Jill Valentine more or less popular than 2 years ago? I know that's what the other analysts are gonna be thinking, regardless of whether they admit it. Tifa gets 67.04% on 2k4 Jill Valentine, expect plenty of scores in that neighborhood. Yeap.


Now I'm conflicted, here. Intuition tells me that Jill dropped and also that Peach isn't that popular. (I didn't say fodder again!) Bias tells me that "Sheena couldn't possibly be that weak! Jill must've rose to 2k2 levels !!".

But bias also enjoys seeing Peach, Daisy, and Jill as weak as possible! Sorry, Sheena, you're gonna have to take one for the team! Wait wait… I thought of something. Something to justify a high %! I remember what I said: "Peach will be like Nintendo's Pac-Man, she'll be able to defeat fodder easily (and apparently some mid-carders) but she'll utterly collapse against good competition!". Peach… meet good competition! Yeahhh!

Lopen's Prediction: Tifa with 71.49%

Karma Hunter's Vote: ...no.

Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Tifa Lockheart with 67.55% .

More or less what the stats say -- Peach should be stronger than Jill 2k4, but we should also have a stronger Tifa here. Hence, this.

Upset Potential: 0%

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA



Guest’s Analysis - Vlado

And so, we have another match with a clear outcome. Unfortunately, it seems Tifa won't have what's at least close battle this contest (a.k.a. she's not gonna face Zelda, the only opponent who could've given her a close match in the female half). Samus is still too strong, it seems Tifa wouldn't be able to threaten her, but I still believe she'll give her a very close one, at least. Tifa is much stronger than last year, and she'll prove it.

So now, let's look at her opponent. Peach is someone who definitely didn't deserve to make it so far. Vote stuffing aside, if bracket voting weren't a factor, Jill would have beaten her with relative ease. Well, the two are close enough to consider their strength equal, of course. This contest has, however, proven that Peach is not even remotely close to Yoshi and Luigi, who defeated much stronger opponent with much greater margin.

"lol xstats" say Tifa would get around 64-65% on Ryu Hayabusa last year. Well, as we've seen, Ryu = Jill = Peach. However, Tifa this year is much stronger than she was a year ago. It's a given she'll score better on Samus than she did on Sonic last year. Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus, as well as the upcoming release of Final Fantasy XII (in just a couple of hours, this will definitely affect today's match), are important factors that should boost her a few percent. The Boss, Tifa's last opponent, is definitely weaker than Peach and Jill, however, the margin can't be very big. Whether there was some SFF in that match, however, as we've seen in pretty much every FFVII/Metal Gear battle, is anyone's guess.

So, Tifa is the absolute favourite here, anything below a doubling will be a surprise. In fact, if Tifa fails to double Peach, you might as well write her off completely for her match against Samus. Not even a supposed FFXII boost for FF characters can help her much unless she's already very strong. So yeah... Tomorrow's match is a test for Tifa's true strength and her ability to threaten Samus. Without doubt, she's Samus' strongest opponent in the female half and, should Samus beat her, the female champ will be clear. To those who like to suggest impossible scenarios, no, Zelda can't beat Samus, in fact, she'd just get SFF'd like Ganon was last year, and definitely lose by more than Tifa would, even if their strength is somewhat close.

As for Peach, avoiding a doubling would be an achievement for her. I hope it doesn't happen, I'd rather have my hopes get crushed in a week than now. At the end, Peach was the Nintendo character who got the closest to losing to a non-Noble Nine opponent, which exposes her as by far Nintendo's weakest representative at this point. Let me reiterate, if bracket voting didn't exist, Jill would have won that match by at least 1000 votes.

So, Tifa has nothing to worry about. Much like in the previous two battles, the only thing she has to fight against is herself, and the percentage numbers. Should she double Peach, she's definitely in good shape to challenge Samus, once FFXII hype has really picked up and there are much more FF fans on the site than usual. I expect Tifa to achieve that doubling, and then some. I hope I don't get disappointed so early.

Prediction: Tifa with 70.63%.



Crew Consensus: Tifa with the win. Many expecting Peach to do pretty poorly.

I think Jill '06 is weaker than Jill '04. Ryu wins a bit easier in a rematch these days. Still, like tran, I have this nasty feeling Peach will do well.

Match L: (1) Tifa Lockhart vs. (2) Princess Peach

Previous Matches

Tifa Lockhart
Defeated Ivy Valentine, 76.18% - 23.82%
Defeated The Boss, 74.55% - 25.45%

Princess Peach
Defeated Princess Daisy, 83.10% - 16.90%
Defeated Jill Valentine, 50.01% - 49.99%

Analysis:

Last round Tifa proves her dominance over the rest of the female bracket by almost tripling an opponent where some thought she would fail the doubling. Peach on the other hand had the closest match since 2k4 where you had to stay and watch the final update. What made this match really funny is it was the second time Jill has lost by 27 votes; I hope that doesn’t become a trend.

If Peach had so much trouble against Jill what makes you think she will have a chance against Tifa, I wouldn’t take Yoshi or Luigi to beat Tifa and would probably take her over Bowser as well (though they will all break 49%). There is something I would like to see in this match and that is if Peach suffers from Pac-Man Syndrome. Peach does look like a likely candidate to have PMS, she is known by the masses and will blowout fodder, but when she goes up against a strong character I can see many of those people leaving her to vote for that character.

If Tifa is able to get over 70% on Peach then I will believe that she does have Pac-Man Syndrome. I think Peach has a really good chance at avoiding the doubling against Tifa, but will fall just short. All in this entire match will probably be full of talk of the only interesting match of the round, Zelda vs. Aeris.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Tifa Lockhart over Princess Peach

charmander6000’s Prediction: Tifa wins, 67.03% - 32.97%

Last round, Tifa made Celes look like bottom of the barrel fodder by blowing out The Boss while Peach beat Jill by 27 votes (lol jill).

Not much to say here since we don't have a really accurate read on Peach due to Jill rising and falling like the tide.

Tifa (2005c) VS Jill Valentine (2004c)

Tifa has a strength of 33.57.
Jill Valentine has a strength of 22.13.

Tifa wins with 67.04% of the vote!
A win of 34,050 with 99,917 total votes cast.


Is what happens when you run 2k5 Tifa against 2k4 Jill. Predictions for this match depend entirely on where you think Jill is at. My gut is telling me that she's lower right now then she was, and Tifa has also had Advent Children since then, and I always go with my gut.

TuRtLe's Prediction: Tifa with 69.99%
TuRtLe's Bracket: Tifa
TuRtLe's Vote: Tifa

From trannyscience
eh, everything points to a Tifa killing.. but I just can't get over the fact that people seem to vote Nintendo over anything else sometimes. I could see Peach doing respectably.

I wouldn't be too worried about that.

For every "Nintendo over everything else" vote, there is a "Squaresoft over everything else" vote that's equal in strength.
