Exactly what on earth would qualify as a 'bad match' in your mind? Sora turning this into a Snake/Frog-style underperformance? I expected Sora to get about 45% on Megaman, thanks to KH2 which seems to be the OoT of the Playstation 2. But the main thing that gives me confidence in Megaman is that if we compare Solid Snake VS Yoshi (Snake got 57.16%) and Megaman VS Ryu (58.04%). In every year (Yes even last year) Ryu has been stronger than Yoshi. (who BTW is adjusted in the stats.) Ryu is underrated this year unless you believe that Megaman would do worse on Crono than Bowser. Of course we can blame the picture for not allowing Solid Snake to end with 60%, but that's impossible to know before his next match. And one last thing: Yes Megaman is doing 10% worse than Solid Snake on Sora, but Solid Snake did 11% worse on Yoshi than Megaman. And if you believe that Megaman can SFF Yoshi but Snake can't SFF Sora, then you are Smurf. It's up to you guys to believe what you want to believe, but I haven't seen Snake doing anything that makes me think he will win over Megaman after his two losses against him. --- Supporter of Megaman and Sonic |

On the contrary, it has to do with that idea that CT overperforms with
a sprite (Link/Magus, Snake/Frog...). Of course, Crono had a sprite in
2003 and he still lost. And he faced Vincent in 2005 with a sprite --
wait, OMG Devil Division underratedness??? Everybody except Sonic and Snake are so screwed. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

We've never even had an accurate read on Yoshi. Every value on Yoshi
was basically "made up" through his 2003 performance against Bowser
back in 2003. Not only is 2003 information practically obsolete, but a
match with 2 Nintendo characters isn't exactly, well... reliable. --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

In every year (Yes even last year) Ryu has been stronger than Yoshi. (who BTW is adjusted in the stats.) He's adjusted through Laharl, and is projected to lose to Luigi with like 47% when he beat him with 54% the year before. Dante is expected to beat him with 55%. He's underrated, that was the whole point of the Dante/Yoshi hype. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Though it feels damning just looking at
them, we can't really draw anything through Gordon, Phoenix, or Tingle.
Yeah, if Gordon is a linear character, Mega Man is screwed. Phoenix
Wright isn't hanging with Kefka, Gordon isn't a midcarder, Tingle
isn't...whatever the hell Tingle looks like. But GF has proven himself
to be non-linear to me. So we're basically just looking at Sora's 2k4
value and wondering how much higher he could have gone. Honestly, alone this match isn't worth much at all. It's just that it's also coupled with two other bad performances that throw up the warning flags. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

It is certainly possible that MM has declined some, but it is also
possible that Sora has increased significantly this year due to KHII.
More than likely, it is a combination of the two. The real question is:
how much weight do each of these two variables carry. I think the Sora
increase carries more weight. --- "Destroy the satellite core!" ~Peppy |

I felt the same way on Snake/MM similar to Yoshi/Dante. Dante looked
pretty good and I started questioning how much Riku could have really
boosted. Then I look at Snake/MM and I asked the same question. I consider it a toss-up right now, though. But after Yoshi/Dante, nothing is really certain when it comes to seeing if MM is really doing bad or not. |

Sorry for asking but will the new SSBB trailer gives Snake some minor boost by the time Snake is pitted against Mega Man. --- I am a Singaporean and I hope Snake will beat Megaman. |

Well, of course this is mostly Sora boosting...Mega Man isn't going to
be losing to *checks* Dante now. But any slip at all on Mega Man's part
could cost him the match. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Then I look at Snake/MM and I asked the same question. I consider it
a toss-up right now, though. But after Yoshi/Dante, nothing is really
certain when it comes to seeing if MM is really doing bad or not. Which is why I like using the proportion for Sora and Riku. All things considered, Snake and Mega Man could very well be virtually even. What I wouldn't give to see that match be a classic... --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

I would love for MM/Snake to be down to the wire, and the winner to
match Sonic's performance on Crono. Better yet if all 4 of them are
near equal. TuRtLe ~~~ 55/62 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

Either way, everything I've seen points to Snake/Mega Man being a close
match, with probably a slight edge to Snake. Everyone's tentative to
give him that status because he's lost twice before and hasn't come
that close, but I feel he's earned it. Honestly, except for the match with Axel, a total unknown, Mega Man has done roundabout what I've expected, while Snake has exceeded them. Not that it means anything, of course, but I just feel like that one is going to be close.

Wow...the denial going on in this topic is incredible. I don't think
anyone seriously denies that Sora boosted, but he didn't boost to
Vincent levels. At the same time, this obviously isn't all Mega Man
dropping...he's not weaker than Bowser. This is clearly a combination
of Mega Man dropping and Sora boosting. How far did Mega Man drop? A 2%
drop is quite reasonable, IMO, and puts him right around Snake 2k5.
Sora's right around Tifa, which also seems fairly reasonable to me, and
Ryu's halfway between his 2k4 and 2k5 rankings. What does this mean for Snake vs. MM? If Snake is the same strength as his 2k5 self, the match is even, but any boost on Snake's behalf gives Snake a fairly decisive advantage. --- 99% of people just make up statistics on the spot.

I just realized something...If Crono and Mega Man are equal to their 2005 values, Sora gets 52.89% on Bowser. ...Something about that is all sorts of wrong. Honestly, he's projected to be at 35.27% based on 2005 Mega Man, which would basically put him below the Noble Nine and Vincent. Even Ganondorf based on 2005 Sonic would be below this Sora. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 6: Han Solo (5-0) |

I'm pretty sure Ashe has been joking about that for a while because
that upset doesn't even have a semblance of chance. I still think MM is
going to win the match with Snake b/c of the past two matches and the
boosts of Riku and Sora. Everyone lost their faith in Yoshi after the
Riku match but he still pulled off the win, I think this match will be
similar. --- "If truly there is evil in this world it lurks in the hearts of man" -- Edward D. Morrison |
