Uh, didn't Samus underperform against Rikku by about a whopping 2% if
Crono is constant? Hardly a severe overrating, which still makes sure
no one in the bracket threatens her with a normal pic. --- Currently Playing: Final Fantasy XII, Tales of the Abyss, King of Fighters 2002/2003 |

Yeah, this match doesn't look good for Samus's 2005 value, but I'd
rather not seriosuly draw on anything from a match that could be as
fishy as this. Indeed, it's tough to draw anything from this match. Other than Samus obviously no longer being the favorite. Right now it seems a toss-up between Snake/Crono/Sonic/Samus. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

if Crono is constant? Hardly a severe overrating, which still makes
sure no one in the bracket threatens her with a normal pic. Samus underperforming by 2% makes her even with 2k5 Crono. You better damn well believe that's a threat. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

You mean even if Crono is constant and Bowsers match with Ryu is legit.
Once again, and I'm probably gonna get scolded for this, have said
since day one Bowser overperformed on Ryu and Snake, making Ryu's place
in the stats relatively correct. The amount he overperformed on the two
I couldn't really gauge at the time, so for simplicities sake I just
made them equal, as going by rough estimation it worked out pretty
well. That would mean all of dream is overrated save for Ryu and Rikku,
and that Samus didn't really underperform on Rikku, rather she
overperformed. Now this would be completely ridiculous if I hadn't been
saying this pre-contest, but hey, I was! --- Hooray Beer, Hooray Proxies! |

if Crono is constant? Hardly a severe overrating, which still makes
sure no one in the bracket threatens her with a normal pic. That's enough to go from being projected to beat Crono to being projected to lose to Crono and possibly Sonic if he boosted by less than a percent. --- "Let's face it: the princess Zelda has always been a symbol of sexual desire." |

And...we're all expecting multiple match pictures for the finals,
right? Assuming Samus is legitimately stronger, if she gets ZSS in one
of those, is that enough to tip the scales against characters that
should be FAR closer to her? --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

That's enough to go from being projected to beat Crono to being
projected to lose to Crono and possibly Sonic if he boosted by less
than a percent. I'm sorry... but Samus going from beating down Sonic with 57.5% two years ago, to losing to Sonic just ain't happening, when nothing significant has happened for the blue blur. Throw in all the random variation you want, he's not overcoming that much, and hell I like his chances against Crono. --- Hooray Beer, Hooray Proxies! |

I was thinking about this the other day... and the only thing I can say is I hope if any pictures feature her as ZSS, it's one of those biased ones where it's meant to make her look crappy anyway, because if he makes ones like that, and ZSS is used in a Pro-Samus pic.... watch the **** out maybe. Also, if Ceej went ahead and used ZSS next round against Zelda, my head would totally ****ing explode. --- Hooray Beer, Hooray Proxies! |

years ago, to losing to Sonic just ain't happening, when nothing
significant has happened for the blue blur. Throw in all the random
variation you want, he's not overcoming that much, and hell I like his
chances against Crono. That sounds strikingly similar to Snake's situation with Mega Man. Within two years, that difference is able to be made up, whether or not you actually like it. Samus isn't underrated at all, so I'm not even going to entertain any silly notion of that that you may want to toss around. Given that, Samus is projected to beat Sonic in 2005 with 53.83%. If she does happen to be overrated in 2005, and Sonic boosts a little bit, he could actually win that match. It doesn't take much. --- "Let's face it: the princess Zelda has always been a symbol of sexual desire." |

Since Sonic/Samus II Sonic's had Sonic Heroes, Sonic Rush, hell even
Shadow the Hedgehog if you want to go so far. Not to mention he's on
the verge of his next-gen releases... Now, of course that doesn't measure up completely to what Snake has had, but if Snake wins it doesn't have to be by a single vote. There's room for Snake to beat Mega Man and still leave Sonic > Samus as a viable possibility. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

1) 2K4 was by far Snakes worst year for whatever reason. 2) MGS3 3) MGS3:Sub Metal Gear Solid 3 would take care of getting him back on track between 2004 and 2005. That lessens the gap, much like Sonic lessened the gap between 2004 and 2005, but MGS3: Subsistence should be worth next to nothing given what it sold. And that's not "far more" than Sonic by any means, especially when Sonic got a favoring from the Nintendo Boost. I'm not saying he will win, but you can't think one is a possibilty and the other isn't. --- "Let's face it: the princess Zelda has always been a symbol of sexual desire." |

And like you said... none of them are even close to what Snake's done.
He'd have to beat MM pretty handily for that to happen, and that's
assuming a constant MM, who IMO has much more reason to drop off than
Samus, not that I think he actually has at all. It's a pretty damn big
stretch for me. Of course it's in the realm of possibility, but I'll be
damned if it happens. --- Hooray Beer, Hooray Proxies! |

Match LVIII: (1) Zelda vs. (1) Yuna Previous Matches Zelda Defeated Carmen Sandiego, 86.08% - 13.92% Defeated Terra Branford, 79.45% - 20.55% Defeated Aeris Gainsborough, 56.87% - 43.13% Yuna Defeated Roll, 79.30% - 20.70% Defeated Joanna Dark, 78.05% - 21.95% Defeated Chun Li, 60.84% - 39.16% Analysis: Last round Zelda made any mockery of hype for this match by getting almost 57% against Aeris and combined with Samus’ performance today Zelda’s upset special looks really nice right now. Yuna continues her own domination by almost getting 61% on Chun Li which isn’t that far from what Bowser got on her. This is the last non-interesting match of the contest. Since Zelda was able to beat Aeris so easily then I don’t see why she would have any trouble against Yuna. There are some people who think Yuna is stronger than Aeris, but as well as she has performed during the contest I cannot see her beating Aeris by as much as Zelda did. Speaking of good performances both of these characters look great to be stronger than what their 2k5 numbers say and depending on whom you ask they believe that one of the character will overperform in the match. Well it looks like TP hype has been in full force for Zelda since the game will be coming out in over a week and Zelda fans are all over the boards talking about the game. Yuna has had KH2 which even though her part wasn’t that big it was her first time in the game which could give her a small boost, but right now the game everyone is talking about is the newly released FFXII bringing an influx of FF fans to GameFAQs. FFXII didn’t help Aeris that much (unless you think she is even weaker), though maybe it was because the game wasn’t out that long to give her a good enough boost. Even with FFXII Zelda should have no problem winning this match. Last year Ganondorf beat Yuna 61/39 and I think Zelda is more or less equal to Ganondorf. Watch all these factors going for both characters get canceled out and Zelda gets what Ganondorf got, now that would be funny. charmander6000’s Bracket: Aeris Gainsborough over Yuna (v_v) charmander6000’s Prediction: Zelda wins, 60.16% - 39.84% --- "I was trying to escape.

Oh, and Samus has had MP2, and MP:Hunters since 2004 too, I'd say
that's of at least equal value if not more than what Sonic has had. --- Hooray Beer, Hooray Proxies! |

win, but you can't think one is a possibilty and the other isn't. So now Sonic is part of benefitting from the Sonic boost, along with everyone else, and Samus, an actual Nintendo character is the only one to drop.... and you people call me biased! --- Hooray Beer, Hooray Proxies! |

to drop.... and you people call me biased! I actually prefer Samus to Mega Man, so I'm certainly not one to pull any sort of bias card here. But Sonic definitely looked to have boosted last year for whatever reason. It might not have ben apart of the Nintendo Boost, but he certainly increased. And if Samus was overrated in 2004, she might not have dropped. If she wasn't, then she dropped at some point.

I wish people would stop calling it the Nintendo boost. It looked a lot more like an old-school boost to me. Hell, I even said that Sonic was part of that "Nintendo Club" that every Nintendo character + Mega Man fit into, so Sonic boosting alongside them is pretty logical. The only thing wrong is what exactly happened to MM, although maybe it's just the fact that Nintendo and Sonic are a lot more popular then MM and friends. --- - Why the hell did I bet against a character as deep, awesome and badass as Lara Croft, instead favouring a character from something as lame as HL2?
