From Karma Hunter 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. But Samus had MP:2 and MP:H in that period of time. Not to mention general Nintendo boostiness.

Triforce/Aeon Division: Round 4 - Match 58 – (1)Princess Zelda vs. (1)Yuna Moltar’s Analysis Zelda - This Twilight Princess looking to win another match. Round 1 – 86.08% vs. Carmen (13.92%) Round 2 – 79.45% vs. Terra (20.55%) Round 3 – 56.87% vs. Aeris (43.13%) Zelda beats Aeris Ulti-Style! How embarrassing. Yuna - Our annual “Their division must have been real crappy if they could make it to Round 4” contestant this year! Round 1 – 79.30% vs. Roll (20.70%) Round 2 – 78.05% vs. Joanna (21.95%) Round 3 – 60.84% vs. Chun-Li (39.16%) Yuna laughs at Chun-Li’s attempt to challenge her. The female half is almost over, and we still have predictible as crap matches, great. Oh well, at least the payoff of Snake/MM and Sonic/Crono should be worth it. This match isn’t that bad. I mean, both these characters have impressed a lot of us round after round. Round 1, both blowout their opponents by much more than expected. Round 2, both again destroy their opponents, who had also been in the last Contest, by enough to make them look like Noble Nine people. Round 3, in debated matches, Zelda easily takes care of Aeris, and Yuna easily takes care of Chun-Li. Now, if last year never happened, there may be some talk on this match. But, last year happened, so oh well Yuna. Yeah, if you don’t remember Yuna got thrashed by Ganondorf last year in a 61-39 affair. Now, Zelda is at Ganon’s level…so you put 2 and 2 together. At least Yuna had a good run though…and I’ll give her a couple percent extra for her efforts this Contest. Moltar’s Bracket Says: Zelda will win. Moltar’s Prediction is: Zelda: 59% - Yuna: 41% Ulti’s Analysis We're in the final eight and still have eeeeeeeasy matches on the female side. All this is is a "guess the winner's percent!" type of match. lolcwutididthur? Prediction: Zelda with 65.00% HM’s Analysis Zelda Previous Matches: Zelda – 86.08% -- 102,509 Carmen Sandiego – 13.92% -- 16,578 Zelda – 79.45% -- 92,826 Terra Branford – 20.55% -- 24,005 Zelda – 56.87% -- 71,597 Aeris Gainsborough – 43.13% -- 54,300 Yuna Previous Matches: Yuna – 79.3% -- 97,716 Roll – 20.7% -- 25,501 Yuna – 78.05% -- 89,711 Joanna Dark – 21.95% -- 25,229 Yuna – 60.84% -- 71,634 Chun-Li – 39.16% -- 46,106 Zelda comes into this match looking absolutely dominative in every possible way. She has exceeded both expectations and stats in every single one of her matches. Her latest match gave FFVII its worst loss in contest history, beating out Link’s beat down of Sephiroth in 2002. That kind of strength is very nice to see from Zelda. Yuna, too, comes into this match looking much stronger than usual. She’s exceeded expectations and made Chun-Li look like nothing with an easy victory over here. With all that said, even with both of them having impressed, Zelda comes into this match with much more impressive wins and over stronger characters. She took care of Aeris nearly as well as Yuna took care of Chun-Li; that about takes care of any questions surrounding the winner of this one. What will be really interesting to see in this match is if Zelda can match, or get close, to what Ganon put up on Yuna last year. Of course, Yuna looking stronger this year may have Zelda having trouble matching the percentage, but it will be great if she’s able to. |

| Zelda’s path, for the most part, seems pretty set
regardless of this match. She has a showdown with Samus next round for
the female bracket winner and I think she has a shot there, even if
it’s not a great one. If Zelda can match, or even exceed, Ganon’s
percentage last year, I think she’ll be looking really
good. I doubt she wins without Twilight Princess out, but considering
the new screenshots and trailer that have her in them – she looks fantastic, I might add – she may put on a show here and in the next round. She’s been the highlight of the contest for me and it’ll be good to see that continue here !! Aitch Emm’s Bracket: Zelda Aitch Emm’s Prediction: Zelda – 62% ; Yuna – 38% Aitch Emm’s Vote: Zelda Yoblazer’s Analysis This match has me a lot more conflicted right now than it did about 22 hours ago. On the one hand, Tifa is having one of the great performances in contest history against Samus Aran as we speak. Could Final Fantasy XII be having a profound effect? Could KHII have boosted its female characters more than we previously thought? Add to this the fact that Yuna has already looked amazing herself, and the concept of another FF overperformance is looming its ominous head. However, there's also no denying the fact that Zelda scored 57% against Aeris. Think about it... fifty-seven ****ing percent on a character who many once thought could challenge or even defeat Tifa. I get the feeling that a lot of people will go low here in the face of Tifa's miraculous job, but there's no way I give this to Zelda with less than 57%. Absolutely no way. Hell, up until yesterday, I was ready to put her a good percentage point or so ahead of Ganon's percentage last year (which means I would have picked Zelda with about 62-63%). Sadly, I'm too chicken for that bold of a prediction now, but I still have a feeling Zelda will lay the smack down. Now, if you gentlemen will excuse me, the polls close in less than an hour, and I feel like voting for some reason. America FTW. My prediction: Zelda def. Yuna (60-40) Lopen’s Analysis Yuna doing better than Aeris… it defies all logic we've had from previous years. And yet, I think it could happen here. Yuna has just looked better than Aeris this year. Come on, beating KOS-MOS with 61.65% or beating Chun Li with 60.84%? Which is better? I know I'd take Chun Li to beat KOS-MOS without sweating it too much. Heck, she almost looked as good as freaking Mario against Joanna Dark. So that's what this match boils down to: previous expectations vs. current expectations. I'm taking current. I can't explain why Yuna's suddenly become a bracket steamrolling machine (okay, small brackets!). Maybe she's been hitting the megaelixir this year. Who knows? All I know is based on this year, not 2003 or 2004 or 2005... Yuna's looking better. Does she have a chance? Would be nice… but no, I'm not going that far! Lopen's prediction: Zelda with 55.85% KH’s Analysis lol x-stats history Zelda Summer 2003 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 19th Place [30.29%] Summer 2005 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 14th Place [30.89%] Zelda whipped up on Aeris last round beyond almost anyone's expectations, solidifying her place in the Final Four. And with the way that freaking Samus is performing on the other FF7 girl...Zelda for the Finals??? o_O Yuna Summer 2003 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 34th Place [23.66%] Summer 2005 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 31st Place [23.92%] Yuna destroys Chun-Li last round, making it her third straight overperformance in a row. If it weren't for the uber-Zelda that we've been seeing, people would be calling for the upset here, believe you me. |

Notable Releases Since Last Appearance Zelda: N/A Yuna: Kingdom Hearts II (PS2) Upcoming Releases Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (WII) Yuna: N/A Zelda should have this one...by a lot...but seriously, WTF Samus. Karma Hunter's Vote: Yuna. Prediction: Zelda with 61.47% This feels like it should be a more impressive Yuna, so I'm going low here. Well, for me anyway. Upset Potential: 30% UPSET ALERT UPSET ALERT UPSET ALERT ...yeah, I don't really have a reason for this, especially a potential this high. But I didn't have one for Tifa doing what she's doing to Samus today. Um...if Yuna wins, I called it? <_< Upset Prediction: Yuna with 53.54% Guest’s Analysis - chocoboslayer If I gave a damn about lol x-stats and contest history and all that stuff, I would write it in here. Guess what....I don't. So, let's move on. Both of these two beat the holy hell out of their first two opponents, showed dominance against a more difficult third round opponent, and now they get to fight....TO THE DEATH!! (Ok...maybe not to the death....but you get the point.) This match is simple. While I may have guessed wrong about the winner of this match, the loser has been obvious from the moment the bracket was released. All good things must come to an end, and Yuna's run in this contest is no exception. It's my personal belief (or fanboy desire, your pick) that Yuna will do better here than Aeris did last round. ...what? Choco's Bracket: Aeris (lol) Choco's Vote: Yuna Choco's Prediction: Zelda def. Yuna, 53%-47% Crew Consensus: The Crew is all over the place on this match. We all call for a Zelda win, but from anywhere between the low 50s to mid-60s? Wow... |

Yeah, I'm seeing alot of picks in the Oracle topic with Yuna outdoing Aeris. I think it's weird. I can see how one would think Yuna is stronger this year, but by that much? Aside from the Crew, I don't think I've seen a 61%+ pick for Zelda. --- Moltar Status: Feeling good and hot-blooded. Samus vs. Tifa - Bracket: Samus - Vote: Samus (88/96) |

Holy ****crap! Tifa is making Samus look like fodder out there! As long
as Zelda doesn’t completely bomb against Lady Yuna, Zelda > Samus is
all but a lock! But she isn’t quite there yet. Will Zelda disappoint
against Yuna? I suggest you read on and find out! Both of these lovely
ladies have been tearing their part of the bracket to shreds so I
highly doubt they need any introduction at this point, but I’ll give
them one anyways because I’m good like that. Here we have everybody’s
second favourite princess (Ashe is still first !!)
up against the lovable summoner, Yuna! Both have been bafflingly
brilliant up to this point, but Zelda seems to be a strong favourite
heading in. Let’s take a look at what each of the pair have going for
them, shall we? Zelda, Zelda, Zelda... What will we do with you? You have been an absolute beast up to this point, and it doesn’t look like you’ll be slowing down any time soon. In the first two rounds you blew out fodder, but that doesn’t mean very much now that we have hit the elite eight. However, in the third round you surpassed expectations a third time by getting an absolutely amazing 56.87% on Aerith, one of the top female video game characters of all time. Aerith and Yuna come from the same series, and can you really see Yuna beating Aerith? I know that I certainly can’t. Twilight Princess is coming ever closer and we have seen Zelda in a trailer casting one badass spell, so if anybody had any doubt in their mind about which character they were going to vote for, it has been completely expelled. On the other hand, Yuna has been looking pretty powerful herself. She blew away fodder almost as well as Zelda did in the first two rounds, and put up some pretty strong numbers against Chun-Li. Final Fantasy XII has come out and enough people have played it by this point that it could potentially give her a fair boost. In addition to this, Yuna made an appearance in Kingdom Hearts II, and everybody knows just how much that helped Auron. Put those two factors together and we have a potentially close match, right? Wrong. The Final Fantasy XII factor is a pile of garbage made up by Samus fanboys in an attempt to justify her abysmal performance today. Even if we assume that the FFXII factor does exist, Zelda has already proved herself to be immune to it from her match against Aerith, while Yuna failed to take advantage of it against Chun-Li. As much as I love Yuna, she doesn’t have a ghost of a chance. I might even go so far as to say that the voters are going to “Stay away from the summoner”! My prediction? Zelda with 99.99%. Everyone left in the contest is so screwed !! Not so fast, Zelda! You’ve activated Yuna’s trap card, a costly mistake !! While most signs indicate to Zelda making Yuna look worse than Carmen Sandiego, there is one very important factor that I haven’t yet mentioned, and it is the picture factor. If people can make up garbage about Samus underperforming due to her picture, I can do the same thing when it comes to Zelda and this garbage: http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/cb5/cb558.jpg Zelda will still win, but Yuna will manage to impress due to that absolutely pathetic picture that Ceej gave the princess. My revised prediction? Zelda with 62.34% ~~~ The one. The only. Lady Ashe. |

*goes to look* Zelda went from 62% after five minutes against Aeris to 57%. 'course Aeris is FF7 and therefore gets antivoted, but Yuna looks like she can finish over 40% if she can hold her current percentage. --- zizzy |

also keep in mind that Ganondorf finished with 61.20% against Yuna last
year. so, depending on how much weaker or stronger than Ganon you
believe Zelda to be, Zelda is projected to get around 61.2% against
Yuna. --- i have officially been Z1mZum'D in the guru contest. Vincent Valentine to win the Blast Division!! |

Overall prediction percentage: 63.86% A narrow victory, but a win is a win. Noble Nine prevails again! It would have been pretty disasterous if Samus lost. Instead of going perfect, the -1s, -2s and -3s would have been wiped out. Instead of breaking 90, the -4s, -5s, -6s, -7s, -8s and -9s would have had a prediction percentage in the single digits. Two people on the Top 50 bet against the Noble Nine today. sephyvii and BigBuddyValens did not have Samus winning the match today. They would be first and second if Tifa came through, but it just didn't happen. --- I got pwnt by Z1mZum in the July 2006 Guru Contest. Support Toadette for the Summer 2006 Contest! |

| Yuna probably boosted a good amound, but so did Zelda it seems. I wonder if Ganon did.. |

not bad, Yuna! I'm pretty pleased with her performance here. doesn't
look like Zelda's going to be able to match Ganondorf's performance. --- zizzy |

| #4 on that list is a disgrace. Samus should have never beaten Sonic in 2k2. Obvious huge vote stuffing last hr. You dont just gain 2k votes in 1hr, which is what she did. Yet, cjayc hates sonic, so he did nothing about it, like mario vs crono. |

| Yuna's doing almost as well as Aeris was here.
Barring a radically different voting pattern Yuna should get around the
same as Aeris did. --- Squall: "Hi, like Cloud from the last game, I am full of angst and am named after weather." - Slow Beef |

For Samus being so much less recognizable, no other match of hers ever
even comes close to the vote totals Samus/Tifa brought...hell, the only
other Samus-related
match that even compares is when the Metroid SERIES faced the LEGEND OF
ZELDA SERIES...and that was still about 10,000 votes less. Seems suspicious to me. --- Diddy did it. Diddy did it. DAMMIT! What didn't Diddy do?! |

From trannyscience not bad, Yuna! I'm pretty pleased with her performance here. doesn't look like Zelda's going to be able to match Ganondorf's performance. Today, but in 3 days, she will EXCEED Ganon's performance against smaus TuRtLe ~~~ 81/88 in the contest.

Yuna looks quite a bit stronger this year -- and then add however much
of that FFXII stuff you want to toss in -- so Zelda doesn't really need
to match Ganon's performance here to be equal to or stronger. And whereas Zelda dropped 1.34% against Aeris, she dropped 0.80% here. ZELDA GUN' HOLD UP BETTER !! --- "Let's face it: the princess Zelda has always been a symbol of sexual desire." |

don't think there's a single person in here that expects Samus to win
with 60%+. not even EC. If she does, then Tifa managed to make up 10% against projected Samus assuming Zelda = Ganondorf lol getting every possible intangible advantage TuRtLe ~~~ 81/88 in the contest.

if you could travel back in time, and reveal the result of one match to pre-contest CS&D, which match would it be and why? I already did that! Sonic > Crono! It will only take a few more days for you all to realize it, that's all. --- - 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?
