Match LIII: (1) Solid Snake vs. (6) Yoshi Previous Matches Solid Snake Defeated Soma Cruz, 82.15% - 17.85% Defeated Squall Leonhart, 57.59% - 42.41% Yoshi Defeated Riku, 55.20% - 44.80% Defeated Dante Sparda, 50.55% - 49.45% Analysis: Last round Snake showed that he was a contender to not only upset Mega Man, but to take the whole bracket by beating Squall worse than what most people thought. Even with the odds against him Yoshi rose up and was able to beat Dante letting him only get the lead briefly during the ends of Yoshi’s worst time. The problem with round 3 on the male half is that it is so predictable. Snake, Sonic and Crono all probably had harder opponents in round 2 than they do this round and even though I think Sora would outperform Ryu I don’t think he has much of a chance against Mega Man. Keeping Dante constant with Squall would make this match a 60/40 affair, but Yoshi does have one advantage going into the match. As you all know this is the sprite round and if you are reading this then you’d probably know that Snake tends to do really bad during this round. If you look at the match picture all you see is a bunch of blue pixels going against a very nicely done Yoshi. The only thing that might save Snake from suffering as bad as he usually does is that his background has his face on it. In 2k3 Snake didn’t suffer with Solid **** against Ryu and the only difference between that picture and the others was that he had his face in the background which was recognizable. What I don’t get is why does Snake underperform with his crappy match picture, isn’t he popular enough for it not to matter? Maybe he gets a badass boost from the pictures I don’t know. I think with the whole picture thing Yoshi will be able to outdo Squall’s performance, which would be very nice since I like Yoshi. Even with this bad picture there is no way Yoshi will win where Bowser failed, but at least Snake was able to get the sprite round out of the way before his match against Mega Man. charmander6000’s Bracket: Solid Snake over Yoshi charmander6000’s Prediction: Solid Snake wins, 56.26% - 43.74% --- "I was trying to escape.

Uh, why am I seeing so many 56-57%+ predictions for Snake? I admit
that's more or less what I'm predicting, but I freely admit that's out
of fanboyism. I'd take Yoshi to flatten Ryu (and no, not with an
overperformance !!) so unless you think Snake is just going to coast past MM without even a fight that just seems way too high, especially in this round. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

On the contrary, Snake likely holds up better against stronger
competition than anyone around his strength level does, as long as
there's no SFF involved (though he has yet to face the "true elites",
as it were). I can't picture Snake folding against Crono like Bowser
did, even given the worst picture imaginable for him. If anything, he
plays down to competition (yo Frog). --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Well, Frog apparently doesn't stand up too well against elites (yo
Samus) and we saw what he did to Snake. As far as I'm concerned Yoshi
beat Dante, he's going to hold his own in any match that doesn't have
SFF. Though Bowser and Mega Man seem to imply that he's a chump with it, which is very odd considering how he does in those favorite polls. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

and don't forget Link - yeah it's SFF, but that was one hell of a
beatdown. LUE probably accounted for over half of Yoshi's votes. --- zizzy |

Big Bob's completely biased and nonsensical analysis Snake's match pic is going to screw him over. No, he's not going to lose, because he's never lost with the sprite, but it always does make him look as weak as humanly possible going into the next round. Coupled with Yoshi's strength, Snake is sure to look pathetic. It's going to be an all-day affair ending with a CJay topic, entirely due to Yoshi having the sprite advantage. Bob's Prediction: Snake with 50.01% --- Gordon Freeman finally won, but somehow, the universe survived... thus allowing me to tell said universe about how I was owned by NClark128. |

I like that pic. Sephiroth is stabbing Cloud, Cloud is about to stab
Link, Link just socked Mario in the face, Samus is fleeing for her life
and Crono is just sorta standing there waiting for everyone else to SFF
each other into oblivion. Yuna with 61%. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." http://www.scorehero.com/scores.php?user=2916&diff=4 |

Snake with 58% at the freeze. Not bad, as he should gain overnight. Of
course, Yoshi will chop it down during the day, but he's looking to end
in the mid to high 50's, which is pretty good for a sprite picture. --- Moltar Status: Feeling good and hot-blooded. Snake vs. Yoshi - Bracket: Snake - Vote: Yoshi (72/80) |
