I love how we're never going to know about the Devil Division. Knuckles
and Magus get snubbed, Squall get Snake'd and Vincent gets a new game.
the only thing we have is.... Terra, and, well, yeah. --- zizzy |

Well, the thing is, a constant Sonic gives Vincent 1% at best over his 2005 value. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 6: Han Solo (5-0) |

yeah, but that could be a 2% boost for all we know. I see no reason to
really question the DD at this point, but I do question Yoshi being at
35% or whereever it suggests. --- zizzy |

I'm real impressed by Tifa here. She's doing well. This gives me some
more hope for Aeris tomorrow. I think we could have a match on our
hands. Peach had roughly -4 points from the first 10-30 minutes against Jill, and she'll probably have about -3 points here. I'm surprised at the similarity. Peach's day vote looks like it's below average, which is also surprising to me. I didn't expect her to be so sucky at the day vote. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I certainly didn't expect her to have a great day vote. And this is
about what I expected from Tifa, so this doesn't change my mind about
Zelda/Aeris at all. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 6: Han Solo (5-0) |

I could be wrong, but I don't this this particular Snake sprite will
have that big an impact on the match. The sprite itself is horrid, but
you can clearly see Snake. In fact, the sprite is so horrid that your
eyes kinda glaze over it. I think Snake face background is very clear. If this was a generic background it could spell trouble, but I think Snake will do about what he should here. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Yeah, the clear Snake mug should help him out, but still...That sprite
is just plain bad. If there was one argument for getting rid of the
sprite round, it's Solid Snake. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 6: Han Solo (5-0) |

Yoshi's victory is all but assured now.

Well, most of us know that I'm not being serious, though we'll see what
the spread for snake/yoshi looks like before the night is done. If Yoshi keeps Snake under 60, I'll be content. 57 and lower would be ideal. --- Revenge is a dish best served by Z1mZum in the 2k6 Series Guru Contest. |

- Yoshi does better than Squall (42.41%) on Solid Snake yep - More than 50% of brackets have Snake winning his division yeah, and Dante is the only reason to doubt this - Sora does better than Ryu (41.96%) on Mega Man I'm actually leaning toward no, but that's one of those BOLD PREDICTIONS - Sonic breaks 55% on Luigi yep - Less than 35% have Sonic winning his division more than 35%... not more than 40. - Auron does better on Crono than Sub-Zero did on Auron the real question here should be if Auron can outdo Vincent. Auron does better than Sub did for sure. - More than 45% of brackets have Crono winning his division helllll no. why hello there master chief --- zizzy |

yeah, and he didn't have to compete with Nintendo or Square either.
this year he's got all that despite his division being so easy to
predict. (Sub-Zero notwithstanding) if you remember, MC and Crono had almost the exact same prediction percentage for winning the division last year. --- zizzy |

Hah, a higher % had Crono advancing past Captain Falcon, Bowser and Leon Kennedy than they did past Zidane, Vercetti, and BARRIER. Though Vercetti and Kefka are big casual picks, so I suppose isn't that surprising. Funny though. Crono might have 45%... though I somehow doubt it with Auron and MC on the other side.

- Yoshi does better than Squall (42.41%) on Solid Snake Fiction. Even with the pic, Snake is on steroids, and Yoshi barely beat an overrated Dante. Plus with the face in the background he's at least recognizable. - More than 50% of brackets have Snake winning his division Fact easily - Sora does better than Ryu (41.96%) on Mega Man eh... Fact. I'm unsure about this one. - Sonic breaks 55% on Luigi Fact - Less than 35% have Sonic winning his division Fiction - Auron does better on Crono than Sub-Zero did on Auron (AKA Auron gets more than 40.37% on Crono) Fact - More than 45% of brackets have Crono winning his division Fact I think actually. Crono getting as much as he did against Bowser makes me think he can stay above 45. Plus he's actually the seeded favorite this time. --- Take off every sig. |

How are people actually denying that FFXII could have a positive affect
on Aeris tomorrow, but go on to believe that such things as trailors
and a few lines in KH can create boosts? New people are going to be
brought in by the recent release of it, it was highly anticipated, and
they have a greater chance of being hardcore FF fans as well. I'm still
not expecting Aeris to win, or really come all that close, but I'll be
damned if that doesn't help her out, and this topic talks about trailor
boosts. --- Portugal. The Man Cheer Up Emo Kids |

Zelda's easily the favorite, but there's plenty of things that could possibly favor Aeris... -Aeris...falling? More like increasing from FF7:AC and KH2. Tifa and Vincent have appeared stronger than last year. Aeris may not have quite the roles like they do, but influx is a big thing, too. Has Aeris gotten less liked over time? No. -FFXII might bring extra FF fans to the site, as people mentioned. Heck, it could even mean more people in an FF sort of mood, helping any FF character. -Aeris has picture advantage over Zelda. It's probably not worth anything, but it doesn't hurt. -Zelda over-performed on Terra...no way Zelda's actually that strong. Ganondorf increased only slightly, if at all, since last year, so why would Zelda become so much stronger? There's been barely anything going for Zelda, unless you count hype for the new game, but that's been going on for two years now. We're still a month away from the Wii and Zelda:TP. -Look at the Aeris/KOS-MOS picture. That's the most immodest/hottest picture we've ever seen in a match on GameFAQs... I bet TJF helped KOS-MOS a lot, since she's pretty obscure. Oh, and XS3...almost forgot about that...it may have helped KOS-MOS more than given credit for, but I think it's more about the picture. --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

I think it's more about the picture. Agree about the picture, however I would think XS3 had a bigger effect. XS2 seemed to really hurt KOS-MOS due to its unpopularity. 3 seems to have brought her back to something like what she was before. But yeah, I'm pretty sure the picture helped her out noticeably.

Here's some fun with numbers. Aeris got 43.46% on Snake in 2K2 and Zelda got 45.59% against Snake in 2K5. That works out to Zelda with 52.34%. Assuming that Tifa's overperformance or whatever on Vyse was the same as Zelda's overperformance on Terra, and setting Aeris=Tifa (2K5) works out to Zelda with 50.9%. (this is a pretty shaky line of logic, but eh) And of course Aeris' best performance relative to Link is better than Zelda's. Though Link probably was stronger last year than when Aeris was last around. It's their respective performances this year though that make Zelda such a big favorite over Aeris, and not their historical performances; as well as pre-contest confidence in Nintendo. Aeris does have stuff in her favor, it's just drowned out by people's pre-contest faith in Zelda, how great Zelda looked last round, and how bad Aeris looked. However Tifa's performance today is pretty good too. I really do think tomorrow's match can be close. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
