TP's art direction is fantastic and TP Link is easily the best incarnation of Link we've ever had. That particular picture, though, isn't really his best one, even though the style is the same across it all. http://www.thehylia.com/media/albums/userpics/10001/Linkonhorse.jpg http://www.thehylia.com/media/albums/e3_tp/GCN_ZELDATWILIGHT_CHAR01.jpg http://www.thehylia.com/media/albums/userpics/10001/e3_link_art.jpg All much better. --- "My ambition is to create the coolest Link that's ever existed." -- Keisuke Nishimori, Twilight Princess |

Here's my Battle Royale writeup, I figure I'd post it in here for some reactions. - And so the bracket is over. I was pretty bummed when it was announced, because of the 32-32 format, but in the end, it turned out to be perhaps the wildest bracket ever. And the fun is certainly not over, as we now have the unprecedented and unpredictable Battle Royale, consisting of previous winners Link, Cloud, Sephiroth*, Mario, and now Samus, along with runner-up Snake, all in one poll together in an elimination tournament. One dies each day....I like that! Unfortunately though, this could be less unpredictable as hoped. Samus was pretty much a lock to be first eliminated when the contest started, but it was also expected that Crono would be in it as well, giving a 3-character SFF split for Square as well. With 3 Nintendo characters, 2 Final Fantasy characters, and Solid Snake on his own, it is pretty obvious that SFF will cause one of the Nintendo characters to go down on Day 1. So, based on performance and expectations, Samus is all but guaranteed to fall out first. After that though, Day 2 could be quite a mystery. Snake would obviously be the weakest of the 5, but he has an advantage because he will be the only one who won't get greatly hurt by SFF. And it may be a toss-up at this point to decide who gets eliminated by SFF between Mario and Sephiroth....or perhaps even some crazy rSFF to eliminate Link or Cloud? And there's still a chance that even without SFF, Snake still wouldn't be able to compete with the 4 powers and be out second. Who knows? Well, after seeing Day 1's results, it will probably become obvious how the rest of the BR will happen. So, on the eve of Day 1, I think it would be better to post my prediction of the whole order, not just who will be eliminated on Day 1. My vote: Mario My bracket: Female Winner (Samus) eliminated My prediction: Female Winner (Samus) eliminated with 6% (Snake 22%, Link 21%, Cloud 19%, Sephiroth 17%, Mario 15%, Samus 6%) Even more predictions for the rest of the BR: Day 2: Link 24%, Snake 21%, Cloud 20%, Mario 18%, Sephiroth 17%, Day 3: Cloud 31%, Link 28% , Snake 22%, Mario 19% Day 4: Link 38%, Cloud 35%, Snake 27% Day 5: Link 54%, Cloud 46% --- Dp, you are one awesome, sexy bastard.

Battle Royale: Day 1 – Cloud vs. Link vs. Mario vs. Samus vs. Sephiroth vs. Solid Snake Moltar’s Analysis Cloud Summer Contest 2003 Champion Link Summer Contest 2002 Champion Summer Contest 2004 Champion Mario Summer Contest 2005 Champion Samus Summer Contest 2006 Champion Sephiorth Villains Contest Champion Snake Summer Contest 2006 Male Champion Woo, unpredictable Battle Royale time! A lot of things can happen here, as we rarely see characters duke it out in free-for-all polls like these. Crazy SFF, favoritism, and other factors apply here with polls like these. The six characters we have here are the strongest GameFAQs Contest characters currently, so you know they share fanbases. That means it all comes down to the core fanbase. That means…Samus is screwed. Mario SFFed the crap out of her last year, and Link has beaten her with ease as well. She has those two Nintendo characters to compete with here, so she’s losing a chunk of votes (Not mine!) Now throw in Cloud, Seph and Snake, and you filter out some more of her outside fanbase. So yeah, it seems very likely Samus will be the first one gone, but since we’ve never had anything like this before, who knows how it will start? Wouldn’t it be great if Seph was the first one out? I think it would be! Moltar’s Bracket Says: Samus will lose. Moltar’s Prediction is: Link ~30%, Cloud ~24%, ~Seph 16%, Mario ~13%, Snake ~10%, Samus with 7.54% Ulti’s? More like Transience’s Analysis to begin, I want to say that something really messed up is going to happen in this thing and no one knows what it is. I could see anybody but Link going out on day 1 - that's just how unpredictable this thing is. we've never seen anything like this before and multi-option polls have always gone down really weird. (Yoshi > Mario, anyone?) speaking of Mario, I think he's going to disappoint here. Mario has never done well with SFF (Link beats Mario way worse than Cloud beats Sephy) and that Yoshi/Mario poll is a classic example of how to suck it up in a multi-option poll. Mario's lucky he's front and center in that BR picture, because I could seriously see him struggling here. ..that said, Samus is pretty much screwed. Mario/Link are going to suck away most of her SSB votes and Metroid is the weakest series amongst the BR participants by far. you could argue that winning the main bracket means she has some momentum, but so did Mario last year and Sephiroth still treated him like the Midgar Zolom. I love Samus and will vote for her, but I think she'll struggle to get 10%. however, if something Weird happens I won't be all that amazed. prediction: Samus with.. 9.56% HM’s Analysis After a long contest of twists and surprises, we come to what may be the most surprising part of any contest so far – the Battle Royale! Here we have the best of the best, the most popular of the popular battling it out to see who can come out on top as the winner over the rest. It should be really cool to see since we’ve never seen something like this in a contest format before – only in those “unreliable” polls held from time to time! Out of all the six characters here, there is really only one that is absolutely confirmed to move onto the next round – Link. The most dominating contestant in the contest’s history, Link has only lost once to Cloud three years ago. Since then, it’s been all him in a dominating fashion. He is far and away the favorite to win the entire thing and with Twilight Princess right around the corner, this may be his most dominative contest yet! But the massive Link analysis comes later! |

In the first round, almost anyone could be getting eliminated. The one
that is the most obvious is definitely Samus. She is looking like
she’ll get nailed with a double dose of SFF thanks to Mario and Link. I
think that just about covers why Samus will be going out this round,
though it’s hardly something assured. I can’t any one else losing their support – and given that Tifa nearly beat Samus in that pre-contest poll, it just reinforces my thoughts on Samus’s inability to compete. I could be wrong on this, but I think most of the Crew is going to be eliminating Samus tonight. Snake is the only one who isn’t apart of someone else’s fanbase by large and then Samus is on the receiving end of some brutal SFF. Simple enough. Aitch Emm’s Vote: Link Aitch Emm’s Prediction: Samus – 5.2% Yoblazer’s Analysis So, I'm supposed to write about who I think will be ousted today, am I? That isn't too tough. Drumroll, plz? SAMUS ARAN. Yes, even after making the every male in the bracket kiss her sexy feet, gamedom's premier heroine will bow out early due to large amounts of SFF inflicted by her Nintendo higher-ups. Of the six Battle Royal participants, it is fair to say that Samus is the entrant with the least amount of rabid fans, and the one which most rides the coattails of a particular company. Not only are Link, Cloud, Sephiroth, and Mario all noticeably stronger, but two of them will actually suck up Nintendo votes like a leech, making Samus look terribly weak. The only entrant who Samus can actually beat is the guy she's beating up on right now, Solid Snake. Unfortunately for Ms. Aran, the amount of Nintendo support she's bound to lose will be far too great, and she'll be left there, lying face down and motionless on the street corner, like some sort of two dollar who... bag of pretzels. Poor girl. Just how bad will she look, however? Well, let's examine this a bit. If this Battle Royal featured six characters of equal strength, each one would end up with 16.66 or 16.67%. Obviously, Samus is much weaker than four of the others, so that knocks her down a hefty amount right there. Also, she's going to be hit with a motherload of SFF. Frankly, if she even approaches 10%, my jaw will hit the floor. I feel kind of bad about giving her no credit while she's beating Snake easily, but I can't envision doing well here at all. Fantastic contest, Samus Aran. See you next year. Link with 27% Cloud with 24% Sephiroth with 18% Mario with 13% Snake with 11% Samus with 7% Lopen’s Analysis Not sure how to go into this. I think these matches could be some of the most interesting in the contest, just because we've never seen anything like em before. (No, "Favorite Mario Character?" doesn't count!) I'm just gonna throw out some fun things I think could happen. S'alright? S'alright! Sephiroth > Cloud… even Link! Well, in this match, at least. Hero/Villain SFF? You never know, I'd call it possible. Mario > Link. Really an offshot, but people might not vote Link as quickly thinking he's the "obvious favorite", and give their votes to Samus or Mario. Everybody does really well because many people adjust their votes based on who's losing, and the Battle Royale becomes a roller coaster. Now that would be fun! I'm hoping for this one. Okay, how about predicting who actually loses, then, instead of just doing silly (but good!) "it could happen" scenarios? Fine, I will. I, like most others, think this is down to Samus vs. Snake. Some would say that Samus is going to collapse under massive Nintendo SFF here, but I'm not sure how bad she'll do. She did do alright against Link a few years ago, after all. |

How about Snake, then? I'm thinking Snake will have the support
advantage in the crew over Samus, but I'm thinking that's not right.
First of all, obviously, Samus beat him straight up in a match. In a
multi-competitor match, this isn't gonna matter as much, but it's
something. More importantly, though, we've all seen what Final Fantasy
7 does to Metal Gear Solid stuff. It's like… "get off my Playstation,
fool!". Oh, and now you're thinking his NEWCOMER status could give him
some fanbase depth? Psh. He's got three OLDCOMERs to fight off, and they're like… "get off my Wii, fool!". So poor Snake, he's rejected, called a fool twice by five people, and crumbles under the pressure. He hides in his box out of shame. People forget to vote for him… he's hiding so well! Poor Snake. Lopen's Prediction: Solid Snake eliminated with 9.13% KH’s Analysis *sigh* Snake's not coming back, is he? Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: SAMUS ARAN LOSES WITH 8% I LIKE HOW THIS IS A VALID PREDICTION P.S. DIE SAMUS DIE Crew Consensus: Apart from Lopen, everyone else thinks Samus will be the first one out. |

Big Bob's completely biased and nonsensical analysis Snake's got his own fanbase in this poll, so he should be fine. Link will be fine, Mario will outlast Samus, Cloud will be fine...Sephiroth is strong... But I think that the second Super Smash Bros. Brawl trailer has had a HUGE effect on this tournament. And who are the only two characters in this poll who weren't in it? Cloud and Sephy. And Cloud's definitely stronger...don't forget Hero SFF! Bob's Prediction: Sephiroth dies with 4% --- Gordon Freeman finally won, but somehow, the universe survived... thus allowing me to tell said universe about how I was owned by NClark128. |
