Outperform Aeris? Let's not get ahead of ourselves, guys. Remember that
Ganondorf scored 61.2% on Yuna last year. I'd take Zelda to outdo
Ganon's performance about 10 trillion times before I take Yuna to
outperform Aeris. --- I don't know when, I don't know how, but I know something starting right now... Watch and you'll see, someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Oh, I don't mean to imply that I think Yuna will out-perform
Aeris...but, if she did, I would still take Aeris unless Yuna REALLY
out-performs Aeris. --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Adam Sandler (#1) |

Yeah, even with the night vote cut that Chun's going to make, Yuna
should still end up in the mid tohigh 50's, which is pretty good. And yeah, with Ganon's number on Yuna, Zelda's pretty much guaranteed to match or do a little better/worse. Such a shame too, as Yuna has looked very nice so far. --- Moltar Status: Feeling good and hot-blooded. Yuna vs. Chun-Li - Bracket: Yuna - Vote: Yuna (68/76) |

And I really doubt that Yuna outperforms Aeris on Zelda. If anything, I expect Zelda to get around Ganon's numbers against her last year. --- "Let's face it: the princess Zelda has always been a symbol of sexual desire." |

If Yuna keeps these numbers up on Chun Li I'd think it at least possible she does. I mean really, who takes KOS-MOS over Chun Li here? Anybody? --- Squall: "Hi, like Cloud from the last game, I am full of angst and am named after weather." - Slow Beef |

"If anything, I expect Zelda to get around Ganon's numbers against her last year." Why thank you for pointing out the obvious expectations.

It's weird to think that Tidus got killed, Rikku's done about as
expected if not failed expectations in a match or two, Auron had one
great performance and one okay performance, and Yuna's been the
show-off of the FFX cast this contest thus far. They still have matches
against Zelda and Crono to see what's up, but...man, Yuna's the only
one who has consistantly impressed. --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Adam Sandler (#1) |

For what it's worth though, we're assuming this is the same Yuna that
faced Ganon last year. I don't know WHY Yuna would change like the
numbers say thus far, but so far all signs are saying this Yuna is
different. Zelda looks improved too, but I'm not sure if it would be a
sign that Ganon > Zelda if she doesn't match his performance against
Yuna next round. --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Adam Sandler (#1) |

Isn't Yuna supposed to beat Chun Li with ~58% if Ganon and Bowser were
at the same ratio in SC2k5 that they were in the Spring? Even if you
set Ganon and Bowser as equals, Yuna wins with ~56.5%. I don't see
what's so crazy about this match result, especially considering the
possibility that Yuna will continue to decrease. --- 99% of people just make up statistics on the spot. If you are part of the 1%, post this in your sig |

yeah, this is not unexpected to me here. I was surprised at the low
picks after how Ganon and Bowser have looked this year, not to mention
Yuna looking like Mario against Joanna Dark. --- xyzzy |

You can say the same thing about Carmen and Terra/Kerrigan though
Chichiri, and Zelda's still kicking ass and taking names beyond
expectations. Yuna's looking to outdo what 2k5 stats say about
Yuna/Chun-Li as well, so that should be enough to say that either she's
at least boosted a bit or that Samus was at least a little more
under-rated than we once thought last year. 2k5's adjusted stats say Yuna gets 52.26% against Chun-Li, by the way, not to mention crushing Roll and beating Joanna nearly as bad as Mario did with NO reason for SFF. I'm not saying she's a NN-breaker, not at all, but this surely ain't the same Yuna we've seen twice before. --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Adam Sandler (#1) |

2k5's stats aren't adjusted for Ganondorf/Samus or Bowser
overperforming on Snake though. go ahead and use 2k6 Bowser and Ganon
(assuming a constant Sonic and Crono) and it comes out to 58% for Yuna. --- xyzzy |

Which she very well could still exceed once the night-vote ends for
Chun-Li -- it just depends how nice their respective trends are to
one-another. --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Adam Sandler (#1) |

this is already dropping pretty quickly... once the "real" night vote
kicks in, Chun Li will do even better. Chun could get this down to
55%-ish by morningtime and I wouldn't be surprised. --- xyzzy |
| creativename | Posted 11/1/2006 9:45:47 PM | message detail |

I don't know if retroactively adjusting Yuna up for Ganon is a good
idea. One should adjust Chun-Li down due to Bowser being overrated by a
couple points, but that adjustment was callable beforehand. That gives
Yuna with about 55%. But since Yuna looked good last round (obviously
the Joanna result was either a fluke or Joanna dropping, but it was
still a good showing by Yuna) and Chun-Li looking so-so, people's
expectations for her in this match were above 55%. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

do you think Samus / Ganon was a legit result? cause I sure don't. 2k6
is as good of a read as we've ever had on Ganon, not to mention that it
does predict the current percentage pretty darn well. as for what happened to Joanna, who knows. it's not worth thinking about though since she's fodder. --- xyzzy |

I was worried for my >60 oracle for a while there, but Yuna seems to
be increasing her percentage already. So Yuna definitively won the
board vote, Chun-Li wins the power hour, then probably drops til the
end, just like last round, only not as much (I can't see this getting
up to 63%). --- Take off every sig. |

Nice call, Xuxon. Man, do I hate these fodder anomaly matches...it
makes it hard to predict how they do later. First Zelda/Terra, and then
Yuna/Joanna...it turns out Yuna and Zelda increase a decent amount, but
not nearly enough to actually make their fodder blowouts legit. --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |
