2003 if you can believe it. The first US Blu-Ray players weren't
launched until early 2006 however. --- Currently Playing:Gears of War, Dragon Quest VIII, FFXII, KH2, Call of Duty 3 , God of War, Devil May Cry 3:SE, and Star Wars: KOTOR II |

The thinking now is that he's waiting until April Fool's Day to pull
some kind of surprise. --- thengamer.com/xstats = lol x-stats Still smarting from the beatdown Rufus applied in the Guru Contest! |

The fact that Sonic is in that game with Mario increases his chances of
being in Brawl, in which case you can make him a LOCK to beat,
uhhh....Crono and Mega Man in rematches! Okay, so he doesn't beat
anyone NEW this way, but he saves himself the shame of possibly losing
to Ganondorf. --- "I never felt truly alive until I was staring death in the face." "I'll die...after I kill you." |

Well, we'll probably get a bracket of something tomorrow. I'm gonna guess all entrants Jay Solano and Midgar Zolom. Or maybe Ceej pulled a fast one, and those were actually nominations for a games contest and the games that got the most quotes nominated get in. lol crazy theories. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=33847108 Now playing: Final Fantasy III DS, Rogue Galaxy |

Rikku's not even worth 46% on Luigi, so Zero. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

Rikku's not even worth 46% on Luigi, so Zero. She's worth 45% on Ryu. I don't know why she couldn't be worth 46% on Luigi. It's not inconceivable. --- "I never felt truly alive until I was staring death in the face." "I'll die...after I kill you." |
| HaRRicH | Posted 3/31/2007 9:15:41 AM | message detail |
| Yeah, considering she got 45% on Ryu and we saw
the jumps made by Auron (albeit due to KH2) and Yuna last year, her
getting 46% on Luigi is plenty possible. Given how close Rikku/Zero are by those stats, I'd give the edge to Rikku due to Square and the Mega Man series not impressing so much lately...but there's two things you may want to keep in mind. One, Samus/Solid: we know the theory that may make the men under-rated. Two, the Cloud/Tifa/Vyse line of thought: we saw both Mario/Zero (where I think everybody agrees there was no SFF now) and Luigi/Zero (where Zero lost harder than most people expected)...there may be an anomaly there -- it's certainly possible, at least... ...Rikku/Zero could actually be a real good match next year. --- This is my main account, but I see all the cool people doing it......

The only problem is that the thought of Rikku beating Zero makes me gag. --- "Such high hopes I once had...but you ran, and they with you! Alas, your return is too late! Come, Ffamran! Revel in the glory of my triumph!" |
| Warsola | Posted 3/31/2007 9:18:14 AM | message detail |
| If that's based on 2k6, I'd say Rikku has 0%
chance against Zero. The female bracket makes less sense than the
villians' contest and 2k2 COMBINED! --- YOU WILL FEEL THE RAGE OF WARCRAFT!!! (and luis) War. The John Madden of Atari 2600 fanboyism. |
| HaRRicH | Posted 3/31/2007 9:29:59 AM | message detail |

Okay, ignore the female side this past year; just plug in what Rikku
got against Ryu in 2k5 (which is 44.28%, not 45%) to where Ryu was at
this year, and Rikku lands at 31.13% in the unadjusted stats...which is
just above her unadjusted value of 31%. If there's an issue with the stats, it's going to be with Zero instead of Rikku. --- This is my main account, but I see all the cool people doing it...... HaRRicH |

Rikku faced Samus straight up. Her number shouldn't really be a problem. --- "Such high hopes I once had...but you ran, and they with you! Alas, your return is too late! Come, Ffamran! Revel in the glory of my triumph!" |

I dunno, there might have been some of that elusive female-SFF like Samus/Lara..... Ha, I'm somehow kidding yet I still don't know how else to explain that one. I'd rather just not acknowledge it again..... --- This is my main account, but I see all the cool people doing it...... HaRRicH |

Rikku did about as she was expected to do, and I don't want to acknowledge the possibility that she's stronger than that. --- "Such high hopes I once had...but you ran, and they with you! Alas, your return is too late! Come, Ffamran! Revel in the glory of my triumph!" |

If that's based on 2k6, I'd say Rikku has 0% chance against Zero.
The female bracket makes less sense than the villians' contest and 2k2
COMBINED! The only thing about the female bracket that I remember being particularly nonsensical was Tifa's ridiculous overperformance on Samus. Everything else was rather tame. --- An infinite world. Infinite possibilities. Infinite Undiscovery. |

Yuna's run (obliterating everything in her path far more than expected,
matching Aeris on Zelda) was pretty nutty. A lot of female characters
got killed a lot worse than expected, too. In any case, we all know the men are underrated compared to the women. Zero vs Rikku isn't even a match, you're all being paranoid... y'know, unless you wanna take that awesome Yuna > Ganondorf upset!!! --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |
