eh, drop it a half percent then. it's still comfortably below Samus. still, Zelda got a bad spot in this bracket if KOS is at her 2k4 level again. Zelda > Sonic would cause the board to go nuts, not to mention cries of NintendoFAQs. ..Zelda being this strong still confuses me. it's Zelda! --- zizzy |

Meh, no way Zelda beats Sonic. Heck, no way she beats a completely
unboosted Snake either. I ain't buying that kind of boost out of
nowhere when it seems like Ganondorf got very little, if anything.
She's impressing against Aeris, sure, but she's not a Noble Nine
breaker all of a sudden. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 6: Han Solo (5-0) |

This leads me to believe that since Zelda is just a princess that does
nothing and is still super strong, Tingle is actually really strong,
and Gordon is still at his 2K5 level! Sora > Mega Man! --- caps |

I've grown tired of infinitely trying to adjust everything and giving
explanations to make stats look right. Zelda beats Aeris soundly, and I
wouldn't blink an eye if Samus beat the crap out of her. --- Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Devil May Cry, Mega Man ZX |

Yeah, I'm not really drawing any solid conclusions from this match.
Yeah, we know Aeris is strong, but that still doesn't tell me very
much. Honestly, I'd put Zelda equal to Ganondorf based on Vincent, if I
had to guess right now. I don't see her being above him to the point
where it's anything other than a toss-up (indirectly, that is). --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 6: Han Solo (5-0) |

Yeah, I honestly didn't expect much out of Aeris this contest. She had
a good year in 2k3 thanks to KH. FFVII fans were glad she finally made
a reappearance after her "exit" in FFVII, so it probably drew a little
bit of buzz for her. The novelty of the FF characters being in KH was much
bigger than it was for KH2. And since KH2, the rest of the main FFVII
characters have done plenty to stand out. Between Advent Children and
Kingdom Hearts 2, Cloud, Sephiroth, Vincent, and Tifa have done tons to
stand out. Aeris is just.... there. Hell, her KH2 performance probably
canceled out any positive her appearance brought with her mediocre role
and annoying voice actor. --- Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Devil May Cry, Mega Man ZX |

Well, I'm finally back -- ouch, Aeris.
This wasn't even close. Majorly impressive performance by Zelda,
especially considering the circumstances. Though even the strongest
Zelda I can imagine doesn't explain how Aeris just fell off the map
like this. Looking at Zero...Sonic overperformed on Cloud in 2003? o_O Yeah, Aeris (and probably Zero) just dropped, but funny to think about. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

IMO by next year Zelda will probably be the only one to be able to
break the Noble 9 and that's if TP is as good as people have been
saying and you can control Zelda ( heard that will happen) --- "I was trying to escape. Obviously, it didn't work." - President Bush |

Match LII: (1) Yuna vs. (3) Chun Li Previous Matches Yuna Defeated Roll, 79.30% - 20.70% Defeated Joanna Dark, 78.05% - 21.95% Chun Li Defeated Kasumi, 68.74% - 31.26% Defeated Lara Croft, 55.54% - 44.46% Analysis: Last round Yuna destroyed Joanna Dark post PDZ so bad she almost looked like to be as strong as Mario himself. If that isn’t a big case of FFF then I don’t know what is. Chun Li on the other hand let Lara Croft do respectable on her, but many were expecting Lara to do better than what the stats say. At the beginning of the contest one could argue that this match could be debatable, but now it isn’t so much now with the Dream Division being overrated and Yuna’s great performances (even with FFF that is still impressive). Not to say Chun Li won’t make it close, but to actually win well I wouldn’t hold my breath. There really isn’t much to talk about this match. Chun Li will do well during the night vote then lose percent during the day (even though Yuna’s day vote isn’t as strong as Lara’s it is still better than Chun Li). Unless Yuna goes and doubles Chun Li she won’t be much of a threat to Zelda next round. charmander6000’s Bracket: Yuna over Chun Li charmander6000’s Prediction: Yuna wins, 56.27% - 43.73% --- "I was trying to escape.

Noble nine breaking depends entirely upon two things: TP and a potential FF7 remake. If
TP is considered better than OoT by the masses of GF users, Zelda can
do it. Otherwise, ya best wait until an FF7 remake comes along. --- If this post was overly verbose, that means I tried very hard to not call you an idiot. If you mark someone for flaming/trolling, you probably deserved it. |

I've actually wondered if maybe -- for whatever reason -- we may be
seeing a stronger Yuna this year. Not that I'm taking the thought
seriously, but so far she's done very well. Her match against Chun-Li
will tell more, but if she impresses again I would think either Yuna
grew some more since last year OR Samus was real under-rated. Her match against Joanna Dark still blows my mind, fodder or not. --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Adam Sandler (#1) |

Nah, if LoZ:TP is thought of as highly as even the original LoZ, I
would consider Zelda and Ganondorf as plenty-possible

a NN-breaker honestly. --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Adam Sandler (#1) |

I wouldn't have a problem taking Ganon or Zelda over Sonic or MM or
Snake (assuming SSBB+MGS4 aren't out by next contest, and that Sonic
and MM aren't in SSBB) by the time next contest rolls around, assuming
TP is highly acclaimed. Hell, maybe Crono also, but who knows when/if
CT will be on the Virtual Console. --- Z1mZum owned me in the guru contest (by two points!). Damn you Z1mZum! |

It has nothing to do with "Noble Nine". Ganondorf is already
an established character. It's not like he's some brand new badass like
Sephiroth was. Zelda games already sell like crazy, so it's not like
he's getting out to some large new audience. It's friggin' Ganon.
People may like him more, but it doesn't automatically mean they start
voting him over anyone. --- Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Devil May Cry, Mega Man ZX |

Ganon needs an on-screen kill. It wouldn't even need to jeopardize TP's
T rating, but it does need to be on-screen. I want to see him fry Midna

People may like him more, but it doesn't automatically mean they start
voting him over anyone. Twilight Princess is what will be that thing that takes Ganon to the next level. As it stands now, he's an established character who is the main villain of the Zelda series. He's improved dramatically since Ocarina of Time when it comes to being a likable character who plays a bigger role than just the final boss. From what I hear, Ganon makes his presence known in a big way from nearly the beginning. The whole idea is getting people to like him a lot more, and Twilight Princess is easily capable of doing that. Ganon's role is going to exceed anything he's had before and as long as he makes himself present throughout the game and does some badass things, he can gain many more fans who go from "like" to "one of my favorites." --- "Let's face it: the princess Zelda has always been a symbol of sexual desire." |

Yeah, I agree. Also, Zelda doesn't really have much room to explicitly prove where she ranks compared to Ganondorf next round, assuming Aeris > Yuna. If she has between 57 and 61.20 to score between, that's a sizeable window, and yet, the difference could be chalked up to a number of factors, not the least of which being KH2 (for Yuna) and FFXII. Said in a better way, Zelda can do better on Yuna than she did on Aeris, but still worse than Ganondorf/Yuna, and still be stronger than Ganon. How incoherent; I think you know what I'm getting at. However, if she out and out stomps his percentage, I'd think that would say enough for Zelda > Ganondorf. --- Revenge is a dish best served by Z1mZum in the 2k6 Series Guru Contest. |

this is one of those things I'll have to see to believe. "from what I hear" only goes so far. That's basically all we can really do. We know TP will be great to Zelda and Ganon, but not many, I don't think, is going to give them the benefit against a Noble Nine character until they get to see these characters in the game, or at least hear about people going crazy over the characters moreso than usual. Whichever. --- "Let's face it: the princess Zelda has always been a symbol of sexual desire." |
