Eh, I'm really finding it hard to see Snake not winning the contest, just like I did before today. There's no doubt in my mind he's indirectly stronger than Samus, so her only real chance is rSFF...and while possible, the thought of Samus rSFFing anything just seems ludicrous.

Plus, hopefully we'll get to FINALLY see SSBB Snake today! Or we'll get ZSS in a few of the match pictures and it'll be a 60-40 affair <_<

….****in’ beast Snake

Road to the Finals

Samus: I can’t believe CjayC did this. He put me, ME, THE Samus Aran with a bunch of these weak females. I mean, my first opponent is a Pokemon? Who over the age of 12 still plays that?

Nidoran F: Approximately 54 million! *Blasted to bits by Samus*

Samus: Yawn, next is…Ada Wong? Who?

Ada: RE4 yo. I’m the ***** in the red dress!

Samus: And now you’re…the..dead person…in the red dress…AHAHAHA SAMOAN BULLDOZER *blasts Ada* Now we have…Rikku?

Rikku: Yeah! Woo! Peace and love!

Samus: Such a shame, she’s pretty. *blasts her to death* Now it’s….oh no.

Tifa: Oh yes, it’s me Samus.

Samus: You, you’re the one who!-

Tifa: The past was the past Samus, I served my time in jail, and all your emotional distress of the moment is gone now.

Samus: *shudders*

Tifa: How about we go one more round, eh?

Samus: …*blasts* Next! Hey, it’s my good buddy Zelda.

Zelda: Hey! *kidnapped by awesome new badass TP Ganondorf omg did u c the pics? secks plz*

Samus: Aww…

*Meanwhile, in Manly Man City*

Citizens: OH GOD HE’S OUT OF CONTROL SOMEONE STOP SNAKE!

Soma: I’ll do it! By the power of-*crushed by Snake*

Snake: RAARGHRAWR!

Squall: …whatever, this is stupid. *jobs to Snake*

Yoshi: *licks*

Snake: Teehee *underperforms*

Mega Man: Your time is up Snake, I’m putting an end to this!

Snake: RARGH, MEGA MAN BEAT SNAKE 2 TIMES, NOW MEGA MAN DIE

Mega Man: *forced to divide by zero* Oh ***-*implodes*

Sonic: Ha, there’s no way he’ll make me look that bad!

Snake: RARGH, SNAKE HATE BLUE

Sonic: *defeated by Snake’s Aura of Badass*

And now it has come to this, Snake vs. Samus in the finals!…Yeah, thanks for being a crazed, steroid-taking monster Snake. At this point, I’ll be shocked if he loses after scoring 55% on Mega Man and a Sonic who beat Crono, while Samus scored 55% on Zelda…who’s a bit below them.

Hey, I wouldn’t complain though, go Samus!

Moltar’s Bracket Says: Samus will win.

Moltar’s Prediction is: Samus: 48% - Snake: 52%

Well…holy crap, Snake. It always seemed like a pretty solid bet that Snake would be at least a little stronger this year thanks to the MGS4 and SSBB trailers…but not this strong. It seems crazy to say it, but you have to figure that Snake is the favorite heading into this match. In fact, it just feels like Snake can’t lose this one.

Samus is definitely the strongest competition he’ll be facing in this contest though. We’ve seen her look rather weak against Tifa, but put up solid numbers against Zelda, who was the star of that match no doubt. She definitely has a shot in this match, but with the way Snake is performing, she might not be able to squeak out a victory here.

…This analysis is awful, I know. I’m just pretty dumbfounded at how strong Snake is looking this year. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that Snake would be here in the finals and the favorite against Samus Aran. Sure, she got beat pretty hard last year against Mario, but good grief.

There is one possibility here for Samus – one I think will tell the tale for the trailer boost theory – and that is if Snake really did benefit this much from the SSBB trailer, he should be susceptible to SFF. Given that he’s not a Nintendo character normally and that he’s not really “in” with the Nintendo fanbase, Samus may be able to pull some SFF, or rSFF if you like, and win the match. It’ll be interesting to see.

This seems like a sorry analysis for the finals, but Snake just seems too dominant here. Plus, I’m preparing a monster for Link’s final match against Cloud. That’s sure to be a beauty – LINK DOMINATION BABY BRING IT ON!

(Plus I’m writing this really late.)

Yoblazer’s Analysis

Well, we've finally arrived! After two months of watching, waiting, arguing, and running through the gamut of nerd emotions, we've reached the final match, and what a final match it is! It's a match between the overwhelming favorite female character versus one of the four favorite males, but if we delve a smidgen deeper, this match is so, so much more.

When the tournament began, Samus was about as big a board favorite to take the female crown as Sephiroth was to take the villains crown last year. No one, and I mean no one, thought she wouldn't be here. No one expected her to break a sweat, either, and boy were we wrong on that regard. I'm sure most people remember the impressive Bowser/Ganondorf performances against Sephiroth in the Villains Contest, so just take those, multiply them tenfold, throw in two pairs of breasts, and you have Tifa's performance against Samus. It was amazing, and Samus went from champ to chump faster than you could say "Zero Suit picture? Man, I smell an overperformance!" She rebounded slightly with a 55% win against Zelda, but not before letting the princess of Hyrule score nearly five more percentage points than Ganondorf. Simply put, she's going into this as the underdog.
Master Moltar | Posted 11/12/2006 8:05:30 PM | message detail
Her opponent, Solid Snake, was one of the top four male contenders at the start of the tournament. Of course, amongst the Board 8 community, he was a very, very distant fourth, and practically no one gave him a realistic shot to beat Mega Man, let alone reach the finals. Well, reach the finals he did, and he did it in spectacular fashion. Snake has had five matches, and he has managed to destroy expectations and overperform in each of them. He trashed a Castlevania main character nearly as badly as he did away with that skeleton guy last year, surprised everyone against Squall, destroyed the "Solid ****" legend against Yoshi, and has snapped the necks of two Noble 9ers as if they were pant-pissing Russian guards. You know the only other characters I can think of who have overperformed as consistently and impressively as Snake has this year? Cloud in 2003, Link in 2004, Mario in 2005, and that's... about it. Yep, performing the way Snake has this year usually means you're primed to take the title home, and that's exactly what he's looking to do.

However, I don't think it will be as effortless as his last two matches. The quickly emerging theory regarding Snake's massive boost is that he's riding a wave of acceptance and hype from Nintendo fans. After all, how in the hell can he go from beating Bowser with less than 51% to destroying Mega Man and Sonic with 55%. Now, I'm not ready to go campaigning for this theory or anything, but I do think it makes sense and is the most logical reason to why the Solid One is suddenly a god of Character Battles. As we all know, Samus is a big-name Nintendo character, and as such, stands a chance to siphon some of this newfound support from Snake. It's certainly not a guarantee, especially given Samus's track record with such things, but it's certainly possible, and I wouldn't be too surprised if she actually pulled off the win because of it. In addition to that, I think she's simply stronger than Mega Man, Sonic, and Crono, and should provide us with a better show for the finals.

In conclusion, Snake should take this, but I wouldn't bat an eyelash if Samus were to make this a damn good match, and I think she has a realistic shot to win.

My prediction: Solid Snake def. Samus Aran (52-48)

Fun Fact: Should Snake win this match, he will have beaten three different Noble 9 characters, more than Samus, Mega Man, and Sonic, and tied with Crono and Sephiroth. Not bad for one contest's work, eh? =P



Lopen’s Analysis

Well, didn't I tell you people that Mega Man hadn't lost a step? The simple answer is Solid Snake is going nuts this contest. Can Samus stand up against his fury? Nope, not a chance. I don't think Samus is a cut above Mega Man, Sonic and Crono, despite what the 2004 stats say. Yes, she beat Sonic 57-43 back then, but those days are over. Samus getting only 40% against Mario, SFF or not, tells me that she's not a cut above.

This year she hardly looks like she's in her 2004 groove either. Unimpressive performances at the first sight of real competition. Even against Tifa, if she emerged from the Malibu or not, she wouldn't have crushed her.

So basically, that's what we've got. I don't think Samus is a step above Crono, Sonic, or Mega Man. Snake clearly is this year. Snake wins. I'd hate to give such a brief write-up for this match, but that's all it really boils down to for me.

Lopen's Prediction: Solid Snake with 55.13%

At the time of this writing, Snake is looking like he will not let Sonic the Hedgehog -- the Sonic who beat CRONO -- break 45% on him. If you don't think this man is the favorite to win the contest right now, I don't know what to tell you.

This is it, Snake.

Win.

The final that even *I* had a hard time see happening is here, and Snake being the established favorite over the once-invulnerable Samus is amazing to see here.

Let me keep this brief. Samus basically went 55-45 with Zelda. Snake is expected to do better against Mega Man, Sonic, and Crono. Even if Samus is actually UNDERRATED, I could see Snake beating her without a problem.

Tifa match aside, who the hell do you think I'm siding with???

Karma Hunter's Vote: VOTE SNAKE

Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Solid Snake with 55.35%.

NO ONE ABOVE 45% ON SNAKE

Upset Potential: 0%

UPSET ALERT UPSET ALERT UPSET ALERT


Though as much as I hate to say it, Samus has a chance here. Snake seems to be getting his support from the SSBB crowd, and if Samus can somehow put a stop to that she can win this thing -- except that sort of presumes that Samus is stronger without SSB, which is kind of a stretch...eh...

I guess Yoshi is the best argument here, but I refuse to believe the sprite round did nothing. Samus can still win, but it would shock me at the core to this point. It would take a miracle for Snake to not snag that #5 slot now. What a contest.

...no, Samus doesn't get an Upset Prediction.

SNAKE IS INVINCIBLE



Guest’s Analysis - SilverNightmareX7

So we are down to the final conventional match of the 2006 Tournament.

In one corner, we have Samus. But who gives a flying **** about her? She was expected from the very begining to make the finals and hasnt looked all that elite, albeit that terrible (yet strangely erotic) picture of Samus in Zero Suit form. Throughout this tournament, Samus has done a little below expectations upon walking into the finals thanks to a rather pathetic female bracket.

Master Moltar | Posted 11/12/2006 8:06:44 PM | message detail
The other corner is the one that matters. The one that seats the soon-to-be champion. The one that seats a character whom, in SC2k5 may very well have lost to characters such as Squall and Vincent. One whom, this year, blew a very respectable looking Squall out of the water. One who made UltiMegaManFanboyX admit Mega Man has no place in the Noble Nine. One who has yet to break a sweat in any given match this tournament.

We call this man Solid Snake, and he is the reason my sig is currently owned by Karma Hunter. He is the reason resident Board 8 troll Sir Chris is no more. And this year, he is the destined champion. He may even be making people nervous about placing the male champion as their #5/#6 finisher. The days of being the Noble Nine's resident underachiever are over.

This year, Solid Snake goes against many, many a bracket, and defeats Samus in the finals with a winning percentage of 51.47%

And because there will be no guest analysis of the battle royale:

6. Samus, 5. Mario, 4. Snake, 3. Cloud, 2. Sephiroth, 1. Link.

Logic: Mario's absence from the main bracket gives him less support than Snake; Sephiroth outlasts Cloud because of the three left, he is the villain. Link will take away more votes from Cloud than he will Sephiroth.



Crew Consensus: Snake with the Crew sweep in the finals. Samus still has a chance, darn it!

Big Bob's competely biased and nonsensical analysis

Snake beat Mega Man, and beat Sonic (who beat Crono)? Samus struggled against Tifa and got the same percentage on Zelda as Snake got on Sonic? She's ****ed.

Bob's Prediction: Snake with 55%

That's right, make her look worse than Sonic!

And now to fanboyishly rate the pictures!

Ceej is really sliding on the whole fanart thing these days. Very even, and I like it because SSBB Snake gives him the advantage. Yes, in every picture where Snake doesn't look like crap, he has an advantage over how he normally performs.

Looks the same as the first Snake/Sonic picture today. Good quality, good background, not much else to say.

I love this concept. The only problem is that Snake's side is way too dark, I can't tell WTF is going on there.

OH NO IT'S ZSS...and Suited Samus, so unless Samus' fans are idiot sexists I don't want to hear any complaining here. Decent, but uninspiring. Everyone got scared away from doing the eyeshots this year! <_<

Maybe my favorite out of all of them...done very, very well.

But seriously, WTF at all the Old Snake. Damn ZSS hypocrites

If Snake seriously manages to go from losing to every nobler, to beating them all with 55%+, it would be amazing.... save for Samus.

Snake deserves to 60-40 the worst Noble Niner ever.

It doesn't matter to me who wins as long as it's nearly 50/50!

Oh, and if he doesn't make it I'm totally blaming it on that 1 vs. 2 dealio.

Snake deserves to 60-40 the worst Noble Niner ever.

And it's too bad he didn't have a match with Crono, or he could've done it!

I blame 1 vs 2 for Snake not cracking 55% as well. >_>

I blame it on Sonic's huge pic advantage.

Zelda's shortcomings and Dark Young Link's blade showed me that Samus would not fall so easily!
