A beautiful contest. Sonic makes it to the Final Four for the first
time, both Sonic and Snake both beat a fellow Noble Niner for the first
time, and Mega Man won't be ranked as one of the top nine performers
this contests. Simply beautiful. Now, all I'd need would be for Sonic and Snake to have an epic battle, but have Sonic come out the victor, just so he can COMPLETELY DESTROY Samus. --- 5/18/05 Never forget. Never forgive. |

Heh, I knew Zelda was more SFF-resistant than that goofy pig. This is
right around what I expected, too - 45%. I should have maintained some
grasp on realism and stuck with it. --- I don't know when, I don't know how, but I know something starting right now... Watch and you'll see, someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Sonic got 56ish on Tifa last year? He's obviously boosted quite a bit. He takes Samus down hard. --- -The biggest Terry Bogard fan ever.- -The biggest Sonic fan ever.- |

Sonic got 56ish on Tifa last year? He's obviously boosted quite a bit. He takes Samus down hard. So you think Tifa getting near 50% on Samus was legit. Btw, Tifa boosted as well so Sonic won't be able to get 56% on her again if they ever meet this year. --- I am a Singaporean and hope Snake will do well for the rest of the contest. |

Sonic is now far too entrenched with Nintendo fans to take Samus down. Snake is the only shot the chaps have. --- I don't know when, I don't know how, but I know something starting right now... Watch and you'll see, someday I'll be... part of your world! |

If Samus/Tifa was the result of a FFXII influx, that should mean the
same for Crono/Auron. And Crono beat Auron by a HELL of a lot more than
Samus did Tifa, and Sonic beat Crono. I can't see Auron and Tifa being
too far off in strength. Not to mention that if there is a FFXII influx
right now, I wouldn't expect it to do any favors for her against Snake
if he makes it there... <_< And if it was ZSS (which is basically her one hope), what's to say that she won't get it in at least ONE match picture in the finals? Sure, it may have a 'diluted' effect, but that may be all she needs to tip the scales against presumably MUCH stronger characters. And we all know that the 2k4 match means jack by now. Snake turned a 57-43 loss into a 55-45 win, one of these two turning a similar loss into a 50.5-49.5 win is hardly implausible. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Zelda's performance today is making it look like the picture didn't
hurt her as much as we originally thought, meaning she might have a
close match with Sonic/Snake anyway regardless of the picture. --- "A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own." - Solid Snake "I'll show you what true speed really is!" - Sonic |

Now that I have had some time looking into the stats they don't seem that bad. By keeping Sonic constant his whole division seems to be ok with the only unexplained thing is Zero's drop. Snake's division seems to be fine (after you adjust Yoshi's 4-pack) and from the looks of it the winner of Snake/Sonic won't get above 52%. It also looks like Samus has dropped since last year since most of the results using Zelda's half of the bracket bring her down. The only result that looks like Samus may have stayed the same is Rikku through 2k6 Ryu, but if we used adjusted DD Rikku then Samus will also have dropped. The Aeon Division may be overrated, but that's up for debate. So the mock unadjusted x-stats would look something like this. (with Zelda finishing with 45%) 1. Solid Snake - 50.00% 2. Sonic the Hedgehog - 48.68% 3. Samus Aran - 47.94% 4. Crono - 47.93% 5. Tifa Lockhart - 47.47% 6. Vincent Valentine - 46.43% 7. Mega Man - 44.67% 8. Ganondorf Dragmire - 44.03% 9. Auron - 43.63% 10.

My thoughts: - This year we're looking at a whole new Zelda, one that's a good deal stronger than her 2k5 self - Snake is looking to be ridiculously strong, and will beat Sonic with at least 53% - Mega Man got screwed with bracket placement like no other NNer has before, in terms of getting opponents that have every reason to overperform on him - Snake will beat Sonic comfortably indicating a constant Crono, slightly boosted Sonic and a slightly fallen Mega Man, but not fallen enough to lose to Vincent or the like - Snake/Squall was a legitimate match and Snake/Yoshi was an underperformance on Snake's part - Bowser's value against a constant Crono is legitimate and makes complete sense - Ganondorf would beat Zelda in a direct matchup before SFF - Samus will be shown to be alot closer to Sonic/Crono/MM than the upper elites.

alot of the characters are to each other would make for some great

Overall stats (with Zelda at 44.86%): Samus Aran – 41.69% Tifa Lockhart – 41.28% Princess Zelda – 37.40% Aeris Gainsborough – 32.26% Yuna – 32.15% Princess Peach – 28.03% Jill Valentine – 28.02% Rikku – 25.85% Chun-Li – 25.18% KOS-MOS – 24.75% Lara Croft – 22.39% Kairi – 21.57% Sheena Fujibayashi – 21.28% The Boss – 21.01% Claire Redfield – 20.67% Ivy Valentine – 19.67% Marle – 19.50% Amy Rose – 17.11% Ada Wong – 16.86% Celes Chere – 16.36% Kasumi – 15.74% Terra Branford – 15.37% Nidoran F – 15.13% Joanna Dark – 14.11% Roll – 13.31% Lenneth Valkyrie – 12.93% Sarah Kerrigan – 12.70% Cortana – 11.23% Carmen Sandiego – 10.41% Alyx Vance – 10.05% Princess Daisy – 9.47% Jade – 8.13% Looks like Aeris didn't drop much, after all!! Chun-Li 2006 > Overrated Chun-Li 2005? That's interesting. Regardless, she's closer to Rikku than she was last year. Whether she went up or Rikku went down is anybody's guess. KOS-MOS and Yuna look unusually strong here, assuming constant Samus. By the way, this would project Zelda > Ganon. --- "A strong man doesn't need to read the future.

Why would Zelda boost when Ganon hasn't? ...Oh wait, it's Black Turtle. >_< While I am the main proponent of that logic, Turtle does go on to say that Ganondorf will be shown to beat Zelda indirectly without SFF, implying a boost. Of course, his stats imply that Snake will cakewalk over the entire bracket without dropping below 53% once (because Ganon > Zelda implies Sonic > Samus). --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Here's an idea for next years contest's. For the Spring contest, I say we just have a 32 character contest,Mostly just the top 32 characters that everyone likes on this site. That way from the get go we will have awesome matches. For the Summer contest, It HAS to be a Game contest. It would be so much fun, With new titles like Zelda TP Gears of War Metroid Prime 3?

By the way, in order for Snake to be able to beat a boosted Sonic based
on a constant Crono enough for Mega Man not to fall below Vincent (hard
to follow, I know), he has to be stronger than Mario now. ...And if you mention Snake getting Nintendo SFF'd by Mario again, I will gouge my eyes out.

Back your theory all you like. No, I think I'd much rather back my fact all I like. >_> But don't insult my intelligence by saying ZSS hurting Samus to that extent was 'obvious'. Obvious or not before the match, nothing will stop me from believing it short of Samus flopping terribly in the finals. I'm a stubborn bastard like that sometimes. >_> I'm attributing it to that for two reasons though: It's logical that looking like a completely different character could hurt her badly, and nothing else seems to make sense when it comes to explaining that unless samus has somehow fallen to the bottom of the noble nine. Don't take me too seriously though, I was just exaggerating to make my point. --- Currently listening to: A Twist in the Myth, Amputechture, Deus Ex Machinae, Black Wings of Destiny, Let Mortal Heroes Sing your Fame, and others. |
