...Or a little game called KHII could have a part in that. Still, who do you take between Sora and Yoshi? Sora and Dante? Yoshi and Ryu? Ryu and Dante? --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 6: Han Solo (5-0) |

And I think Mega Man's "massive underperformances" are more the
result of Ryu and Sora sucking it up hard last year than anything else.
Yes, a structured decline is nonsense. Ryu having a "bad year" and then improving for no reason whatsoever makes perfect statistical sense. --- President Of Board 8. (10/14/2006 onwards) |

Oh, and I must express my happiness in seeing Final Fantasy X Yuna
(finally!) against Zelda in the Elite Eight. She looks so much better
there than she does in FFX-2. Samus/Tifa is a good picture, and it should be interesting to see how the voting turns out based on it. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 6: Han Solo (5-0) |

From HaRRicH Ryu having a "bad year" and then improving for no reason whatsoever makes perfect statistical sense. Hey, like Solid Snake !! Hey, like Sonic!!

I don't get the love for Samus/Tifa. Sure it's a nice picture, but it's

Based on Sora's current % of 45.34% on constant Megaman... Sora gets 32.24% on 2k5 Link and 35.17% on Blink. Gordon Freeman gets 23.26% on 2k5 Link and 25.38% on Blink. Phoenix Wright gets 19.44% on 2k5 Link and 21.21% on Blink. Tingle gets 15.73% on Link 2k5 and 17.16% on Blink. In other words... Sora > 2k3 Sonic Gordon Freeman > almost 3/4 of 2k2's field, and he triples his old self Phoenix Wright > Frog Tingle > Ganondorf Taken from Janus5000, Keep on arguing Mega Man fans. --- I am a Singaporean and I hope Snake will beat Megaman. |

A MGS 3 boost follows the influx theory in which more MGS fans come to
the site. Subsistence might've done something for Snake this year,

And Smurf, like I said, it has nothing to do with boosting or falling
as much as it does getting screwed with random fluctuation. Ryu
performed at his floor against a Bowser who performed at his ceiling. TuRtLe ~~~ 55/62 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

As for using Zero's loss as a reason for a massive MM drop, keep in
mind that he and Luigi were close in the stats anyways, and Zero was
likely overrated in 2k4 after his weird match against MM (which
followed SFF to a T). Factor in NSMB and increasing Nintendo hype and
you have a Luigi on steroids that will probably match Tifa's 2k5
performance on Sonic <_< TuRtLe ~~~ 55/62 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

Sora gets 32.24% on 2k5 Link and 35.17% on Blink. Considering how strong the other KH characters have been, I think Sora could get 30% on Link this time.... >_> Gordon Freeman gets 23.26% on 2k5 Link and 25.38% on Blink. Only 23? Sora s the only one who can break 60% on Mr Freeman >_> Gordon Freeman > almost 3/4 of 2k2's field, and he triples his old self I would say this is possible, since Claire Redfield is the 12th strongest in the 2002 stats >_> Tingle > Ganondorf Huh? But I still admit, Megaman turned from doing an impressive match to just an ok match. I still don't see him lossing to Snake. --- Supporter of Megaman and Sonic |

Snake doesn't really need much to make a
match with Mega Man competitive, even a constant one. What did Snake
get between 2002 and 2003 (where he was presumably stronger)? MGS2:
Substance. That's it. People (and by 'people', I mean Turtle) are acting like this match was never supposed to be close to begin with. 52.35% is a close match, believe it or not. And characters have swung that margin all the time -- Link/Cloud 2004, Mario/Crono 2004 and 2005...it's not even fluctuating fodder we're talking about, these are elite matchups. Snake doesn't need Mega Man to drop to win. But MM underperforming three straight times in a row is not exactly making me shake in my boots. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

I think we should give Snake a free pass now. Honestly, 54% on Sora is downright embarassing, KH2 or not. --- Currently Playing: Final Fantasy XII, Tales of the Abyss, King of Fighters 2002/2003 |

I never said this would be a lock either way, I'm just pointing out
that this probably IS still a constant Mega Man, going up against
people who've had every reason to do better than expected. TuRtLe ~~~ 55/62 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

But I still admit, Megaman turned from doing an impressive match to just an ok match. Exactly what on earth would qualify as a 'bad match' in your mind? Sora turning this into a Snake/Frog-style underperformance? Those only come along once in a blue moon. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

I guess we'll have to wait until Crono/Auron to see what kind of effect
KH2 really had, but even then it's sprite round Crono. Things will

One last thing before I head out -- there were many people saying Sora
would keep close with Solid Snake last year, so if you believe Solid
SFF'd Sora and that Sora was THAT strong last year, then throw in KH2,
Mega Man's not doing bad at all... ...but I'm done arguing for the sake of making Smurf twist more and more things. UT/LSU, here I come...go Big Orange! --- Diddy did it. Diddy did it. DAMMIT! What didn't Diddy do?! |

When a match goes differently to the stats, people say it's an
"overperformance" or "underperformance". When a match between 2 things
go consistently unexpected, then it can earn the SFF label. See: FF7
Vs. Metal Gear Solid, Sephiroth Vs. Liquid Snake, Solid Snake Vs.
Squall, Solid Snake Vs. Sora/ --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |
