On the plus side, if Sonic beats Crono, we'll get Mega Man/Sonic 2, which I've always thought would be the best NN rivalry considering their similarities.

Sonic against Snake is going to be the match, sadly for Sir Chris and Megaman. Sonic is going to be taking the contest this year. It has already been expressed by myself millions of times since the beginning of this contest.

This match just solidifies the idea.

I wish it would be Solid/Sonic for the male-finals, just because they've been the bottom two in the Noble Nine since 2k3, if memory serves me right.

Well, Sonic is technically above the KING OF GETTING SFFed in 2k4, though he'd have likely lost to him that year anyway.

He's holding Mega Man and Sonic constant until later on. It's pretty clear that Mega Man has declined.

You host lots of contests that are primarily based on the popularity of video game-related entries (mainly characters, though you have for games and series as well). Will you ever announce a contest for non-game-related entries (movie characters, music bands, etc.)?
Feedback Status: Filed - Your message has been "filed" away for future perusal.

Match LVI: (1) Crono vs. (3) Auron

Previous Matches

Crono
Defeated Captain Falcon, 74.16% - 25.84%
Defeated Bowser, 57.44% - 42.56%

Auron
Defeated Alucard Tepes, 64.40% - 35.60%
Defeated Sub-Zero, 59.63% - 40.37%

Analysis:

Last round Crono started with almost 61% on Bowser, but with the day vote Bowser was able to make a respectable performance by bringing Crono down to Bowser’s expected Dream Division adjusted numbers. Also Auron proved that Sub-Zero is the strongest Mortal Kombat character by letting him break 40% on a post-KH2 Auron. Talk all about the recent releases SZ has had before his matches new releases don’t give one that much of a boost.

Final match of the boring third round and like most of the other matches the winner isn’t in doubt and like most of the male matches Crono had a harder opponent last round than he does this round. Auron still has Kingdom Hearts 2 to fall back upon, but the best I think it could do is make Auron finish above Bowser.

Like most of the matches here there isn’t much to talk about that already hasn’t been said in the first two rounds. With Sonic doing well today Crono can’t let Auron do too well or he may not be the favorite going into the match (though I don’t think anybody should since all the separates them is 3500 votes). If Crono gets anywhere between 60% - 55% I don’t think there should be a favorite.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Crono over Auron

charmander6000’s Prediction: Crono wins, 58.83% - 41.17%

I also lol @ the people who said Sora would be near elite before the contest, but are completely against that idea after he actually went out and proved it.

Decline or not, 46% on Mega Man is no joke.

Yeah, uh, you're going to have to excuse me if I don't think Sora beats Ganondorf, Zelda, Bowser, Squall, and is indirectly equal to Vincent. Believe it if you want though!

nobleIII | Posted 11/5/2006 3:01:01 PM | message detail
There is no way Sora can beat those IMO. He'd prob have a shot at Squall I think after Snake, before SFF played in. Also, what the hell is with people not wanting to admit MM declined? You say because he's an icon? Wow, such hyprocrites. You guys keeps stating Sonic drops all the time, yet he's perhaps a bigger Icon then MM.
Master Moltar | Posted 11/5/2006 3:01:19 PM | message detail
I think we have different definitions of near-elite. I consider the level that Vincent, Ganondorf, Squall, Zelda, and Bowser are on to be elite. Under them are the near-elites like Dante, Yoshi, Luigi, Tifa, Kirby, etc. That's where I thought Sora would fall.

No, Vincent 2k5 would barely beat Sora through a constant Megaman.

I would group Sora with Bowser, Squall, Vincent, Ganondorf, and Zelda, but definitely either last or 2nd to last among that group.

The two have been at hovering around their current percentage since 5 am, although it does seem that Sonic won the morning vote by a little bit. It was at that time that he climbed to 60.6% before dropping off again.

....Imagine if Sonic wins the male half and finally has the epic rematch with Samus that was supposed to happen in 2k4...what a final that would be.

Sonic would get absolutely raped by Samus. The only male character that would've had a chance against her was MM, and that's only on the very off chance that something wierd was going to happen rSFF style. True, I took that off chance in my bracket, but even I knew that it had a 5% shot at best of working out.

LOL, MM have a chance? He beat sonic LAST year by 700 votes, and is looking weaker then sonic this year. Sonic last year projected 46.5 on Samus, more if she weakened, which is possible, even this year. Crono/Sonic would get 48+imo.
