What makes you say that? - He scraped into this one. - Left a bad aftertaste from this contest. - MM's continued decline. Take your pick. We've seen it many times before when respectable midcarders lose in round 1 and never appear again. Magus, Vivi, etc. --- President Of Board 8. (10/14/2006 onwards) |

The reason why people believed in Dante>Yoshi was because we never
had a clear reading of Yoshi's strength. He was SFF to hell by bowser,
Link and Mega Man so most only believed Yoshi to be of decent midcarder. --- I am a Singaporean and I hope Snake will beat Megaman. |

Magus and Vivi, in all fairness, only didn't appear this year because of the female bracket. Besides, it's not like there aren't characters who have disappointed and never come back. Snake/Frog anyone? Granted, Snake won and all, but... --- Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances. |

Geez Megaman I go to bed thinking 57/43 or something and you fall off
the table. It's basically impossible to support him now, either you
remain neutral or you become a full on Snake supporter. Sora doesn't
even crack the top 5 in NN breakers as far as I'm concerened and he's
doing this. --- Should I start running now? |

lol mega man lol snake being considered a lock lol stats topic I didn't think it'd be this bad, but I called a Sora overperformance 2 rounds ago. Who the hell didn't see this coming?

I bet this isn't as bad for mega man as it seems. I'm pretty sure Sora
will have nearly as much bracket support against mega man as snake
does, meaning that sora is getting a ton of bracket votes. --- *is chubtoad* Early to bed, early to rise, gives a man a small ***** size |

"And, in turn, Snake will also recieve said bracket votes. That doesn't make Megs look any better." Mega Man has never had the brackets on his side in a match that counts.

- He scraped into this one. - Left a bad aftertaste from this contest. - MM's continued decline. Thanks to the female contest AND bad bracket-placement...then, for what it's worth, Mega Man's decline isn't really PROVEN yet. And I'd take Sora in a rematch over Aeris. Please, goodness, yes, do that and rally as many others as you can to do the same. --- Diddy did it. Diddy did it. DAMMIT! What didn't Diddy do?! |

I think Mega Man has disappointed in every one of his matches so far
this year but I think this has been by far his worst performance.

From Terran I think Mega Man has disappointed in every one of his matches so far this year but I think this has been by far his worst performance. Just a year ago Snake got 65.26% against Sora, now Mega Man is having trouble breaking 55%. MGS/FF SFF and the most lopsided match pic ever. Not to mention Snake performed 11% worse on Yoshi than MM did last year. From zwong1 ChichiriMuyo, yeah Kh2 came out and gave Sora 8-10% boost against Mega Man. Assuming you're taking his 2k5 value as legit. All evidence has pointed to something fishy happening in Snake/Sora, and Snake/Squall is probably the best indication of that.

SFF Sora my ass. You can't even pull the console SFF bull**** on this one. How do their fanbases overlap at all? --- CB5 Points: 79/84, Current Oracle placement: 24/169 Now playing: Phoenix Wright 2, Final Fanasy XII |

Because for as much as people hate Tingle he's still a Zelda character, and Gordon has a new game on a console (or two) that are actually good ports. That counts a hell of a lot more than a PC exclussive on GF. --- If this post was overly verbose, that means I tried very hard to not call you an idiot.

Snake SFF'd Sora. It's hardly comparable. Snake and Sora are considered to share a fanbase? What do they have in common other then a console? In 2004 Samus got 65.85% against Sora too so it wasn't inconsistent with what happened in the past. --- Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo merge to create...Microtendony!

From KleenexTissue50 If he's so likable, why didn't he quadruple Tingle? Or obliterate Gordon? Tingle had LUE support and joke votes, and we already saw what those did to Nidoran F against Samus. As for Gordon, I think we're looking at a whole new Mr. Freeman, one that can beat some midcarders with ease. Problem is, he probably suffers Master Chief syndrome. TuRtLe ~~~ 55/62 in the contest.

Turtle's 'logic' is downright offensive to my senses. "Yeah, Mega Man's
underperformed in every match and Snake's impressed in all of his --
but I had a feeling that might
happen, so Mega Man's clearly winning without a doubt! Even though I
have no actual rationale for this belief, other than the fact that it's
clearly impossible for Snake to make up the 52-48 projection
from last year (which, by the way, I was completely unaware of until
last night!)." And yeah, we've got Smurf here today, but we all at least know Smurf doesn't buy his own crap. Or precede every nonsensical diatribe of his with "lol" --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

BlAcK TuRtLe, i think you mistaken my point. constant Megaman is
supposed to get 63% on 2004 Sora. Unless Sora boosted 8-10% against
Megaman due to KH2 this year, i don't really see how Megaman would get
only mid 54 on Sora. Anyway, this is the third time Megaman had underperformed so please stop defending for him anymore. --- I am a Singaporean and I hope Snake will beat Megaman. |

Apparently you don't need more than being on the same console. Look at
what MM did to Yoshi, what Snake did two Squall (twice), what Link did
to MM. Sharing a console, I'd wager, is the biggest factor in SFF.
Bigger than coming from the same company (but that often means shared
console space anyway...). --- 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. |

From BlAcK TuRtLe In 2004 Samus got 65.85% against Sora too so it wasn't inconsistent with what happened in the past. So you'd take Snake over Samus? TuRtLe Yeah. Zelda will SFF Samus into oblivion. Snake will do somewhat better against her in the finals. ~~~ The one. The only. Lady Ashe. |

SFF the worst excuse for a statsitical anomaly I've ever seen. It's
downright pathetic. If you asked the majority of people who were voting
for Sora, I'll bet that half of them have never heard of Metal Gear
Solid. --- CB5 Points: 79/84, Current Oracle placement: 24/169 Now playing: Phoenix Wright 2, Final Fanasy XII |

And even if Mega Man dropped a bit, Snake still has quite a bit of
ground to make up to beat him. The match has gone from Mega Man lock to
could go either way, but calling Snake a lock is just stupid. TuRtLe ~~~ 55/62 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

So you'd take Snake over Samus? No, but I don't think Samus would decimate Snake. I'm just saying that the last two times Sora faced the lower five of the Noble Nine members, he didn't even come close. And here he is against Mega Man doing about 10% better. --- Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo merge to create...Microtendony! "When the president does it, that means it is not illegal." - Richard Nixon |

From KleenexTissue50 SFF the worst excuse for a statsitical anomaly I've ever seen. It's downright pathetic. If you asked the majority of people who were voting for Sora, I'll bet that half of them have never heard of Metal Gear Solid. Which is why they voted for Sora and the exact definition of SFF. If you asked everyone who voted for Snake, I would guess that a good chunk have played MGS, and voted for Sora in previous matches, but the SFF made them vote for Snake.

Don't even start that crap with me. You guy always hide behind your
made up "factors" when a match doesn't go exactly like the stats pan
out. There's a reason people call them "lol x-stats". They aren't
infallable. I'm not saying that Snake is a lock here, and I never had.

diluding themselves. --- CB5 Points: 79/84, Current Oracle placement: 24/169 Now playing: Phoenix Wright 2, Final Fanasy XII |
