Hm, well, yo, I think it's risky enough just to take it out of Round I.
It's a huge joke, and one that I actually worry will be funny enough to
do just that, but still....the l-block? --- One of the most troublesome things in life is that what you do or do not want has little to do with what does or does not happen. ~ Lemony Snicket |

| L-Block is posed to go to the 2nd round. I think
joke votes alone will get him there. Plus the competition isn't really
stiff, and the block may be the only recognizable one after Kirby. --- USF Bulls 0-0 (0-0) //// Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1-0 Who cares if it's preseason, obviously Bucs > Pats. |

I just looked up Nathan Hale, and I doubt he'd take L-Block in a
straight match, let alone a 4way. It's between TEH BLOCK and Laharl.

Master Chief went from hanging with Frog to hanging with DK on the
back of Halo 2 - hardly anything at all. Thanks to a very favourable
bracket spot and format he's got a good shot at the semis, but beating
Snake or Sonic is pretty ludicrous. I'm not going to deny that it's a stretch. I'll have missed a ton by then (bracket is brutal), and I already have Chief in the semis (think that's easy enough for him to do), so I'm going to run with it. There is some reasoning there, though. Halo 3 is going to be huge for him because it's right in the middle of the contest, right in the middle of the Halo hype machine. It's going to be bigger for him now than it would be a year from now, I think. Judging by those polls, nearly half of the voters on GameFAQs should have the game, too. It's not likely to happen, but it's worth a shot. --- Believe |

Division 3 CATS Meta Knight Princess Peach Sephiroth Sephiroth and.....? Peach seems the obvious choice here, but does anyone care about her? she sucked in that one Mario character poll, and CATS is pretty much guaranteed 12% or so of the vote. will that be enough? the question here is how badly Sephiroth impales everyone else. Banjo Captain Falcon Fox McCloud Wario three weak Nintendo characters and Banjo. Fox is my pick for #1 and I doubt anyone will disagree.. Wario's probably the other. weak fourpack. Big Boss Mario Pac-Man Wander Mario, obviously. Pac-Man second? if Luigi and Yoshi "SFF" Pac-Man, god knows what Mario could do. Big Boss is probably a better bet than Wander is. most people don't even know Wander by name. Big Boss is probably the safe pick, but Ocelot > Big Boss and Pac-Man > Ocelot. Bomberman Crash Bandicoot Phoenix Wright Magus Phoenix Wright gets an interesting draw here. absolutely nobody cares about Crash - people couldn't even anti-vote Master Chief correctly. so it comes down to Bomberman and Phoenix. (didn't we debate this last week?) Sephiroth Fox Peach (CATS?) Wario (Falcon?) Sephiroth crushes more Nintendo. Fox vs. Peach is kind of interesting, I guess. give me, uh, Fox. I guess. Mario Magus other near-fodder choices easy picks here. Sephiroth Mario Magus Fox the only way this becomes debatable is if Mario Galaxy is out before the match. otherwise it's Sephiroth > Mario >> the rest of this final. --- xexyz |

Division 2 Kefka Marcus Fenix Tom Nook Zelos Wilder Kefka's no power house, but he should have no trouble destroying crap like Tom Nook and Zelos. The real show here will be to see how Marcus does. He's pretty much guarenteed to move to the next round, but he also has a very realistic chance of beating out Kefka to do so. I mean, we saw Vercetti do it, why not the star of last year's gem? Cloud Strife Jill Valentine Midgar Zolom Revolver Ocelot Excellent, we finally have something heavily debateable. Cloud's a lock, but Jill and Ocelot should have a very interesting bout for second place. I'm taking Ocelot by 27 votes <_< Though seriously, I think Jill might have it, what with the recent Resident Evil power and the fact that I'd take Peach over Pac-Man any day. Auron Chris Redfield Pyramid Head Shadow the Hedgehog Auron > Shadow, but we'll finally get a chance to see just how much of a fluke Shadow's match with Mario was. Bowser Mewtwo Ryu (Street Fighter) Toad Bowser and Ryu are guarenteed to move on, but while Bowser ripped through Ryu in 2k5, he also has Toad and Mewtwo sucking away his Nintendo backing. I'll go with the "upset" and have Ryu > Bowser. Ryu needs this to get over the stigma left over from his 2k5 match Kefka Fenix Cloud Jill Cloud wins, Kefka loses, and second place depends entirely on how much of a splash Marcus can make in this contest. Too close to call IMO, but I'll go with my gut and say Jill takes it. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe.

Division 2 Group 1 - Surprised Fenix got such a break. I don't think he'll WIN the division with Kefka there, but he's almost a lock to advance. His game is popular enough to take out the likes of Tom Nook and Zelos. With no character there dominating the votes, he'll have enough casual support to advance. Group 2 - This is a battle between Jill and Ocelot. With all the Metal Gear craze going on, Ocelot probably could hold up against Jill. But then there's Cloud there to suck away votes from both Jill and Ocelot. I think Cloud would take out even hardcore fans of both. Jill and Ocelot will definitely be fighting for scraps. It's a complete toss-up. Group 3 - Auron/Shadow. No contest. Group 4 - Wow, was this group wasted or what? 3 Nintendo characters? Bowser definitely sucks away votes from Toad, and most likely Mewtwo, giving Ryu a free ride. The only way Ryu doesn't advance is if Bowser doesn't SFF Toad and Mewtwo. I'd give one of them a 1-2% chance of slipping by over Ryu. Doubt it though. Later rounds - Cloud dominates the other 3. Could Marcus Fenix have enough of a hardcore Xbox fanbase to slip by the likes of Kefka and Ocelot? Doubt it. Kefka still has a FFVI fanbase and it all won't necessarily go to Cloud. Same with Ocelot and MGS/Jill with RE. I'm thinking it will be the Jill/Ocelot winner. Bowser and Auron shouldn't have a problem getting out of the next round, but Shadow could be a threat to one of them. Doubt it though. Cloud probably SFFs Auron enough for Bowser to come out of the next round. --- Currently playing: Guitar Hero 2, Gears of War, Saint's Row, SotN (XBLA), Burnout Revenge |

Division 3 R1: The second group is ugly, but I think Fox and Wario will get most of the votes. I think Mario will SFF Pac-Man badly enough for BB to get #2, but we'll see. Phoenix/Bomberman is interesting, and I'm still debating it. R2: I take Peach over Fox for #2 for now. Not sure why. R3: Seph > Mario, pretty simple. --- Moltar Status: Eagerly awaiting the bracket!

Pre-Contest - Day I: Bracket is up. Starting today until September 2nd I’ll be posting pre-contest write-ups talking about various things like each division and different factors that could be present in this contest. Nominations closed up and within a few hours the bracket is up. This year we have a 128 character bracket with the characters in a four-way poll and the top two from each poll moving to the next round. While many people expected the 128 character bracket no one was expecting the format to be like this. Due to this format most matches in the past are thrown out the window, contest vets are now no better than the common newbie and like 2002 this contest may turn into more of cheering for your favorite characters than cheering for your bracket to do well. How much of an effect will having four characters in match than two characters? Will SFF screw many strong characters over leaving mid-carders going further than they are supposing to? Will characters with a much more hardcore fanbase do better? Only time will tell. This contest has the potential to be the most unpredictable contest GameFAQs has ever had. While the winner of this contest is obvious (or is it?) the matches leading up to the final will be interesting in the least to say. Tomorrow: Division 1 --- The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic. ~Joe Stalin, comment to Churchill at Potsdam, 1945 |

1. I actually see Cloud SFFing Kefka less than Crono did. CT and FFVI have even more overlap than FFVII and FFVI, IMO. 2. I think Cloud could get some good SFF on Jill, thanks to PS1 SFF. That's pretty much my justification for taking Marcus there. --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

PS1 SFF? At this point, I'm highly doubtful much of the RE support
comes from the PS1, what with the smash success of RE4 and the upcoming
Wii game. I think that match will depend more on Marcus' strength than
any Cloud/Jill SFF. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

My prelimiary analysis Div 1: Yoshi Knuckles I like Yoshi here based on the Nintendo factor and the fact he's fairly strong. Knuckles tends to over preform, but I don't think he'll catch Yoshi. Mega Man Diablo Mega Man is given. I still can't get over Diablo's villan's contest run even if it was 2 years ago. I still think the blizzard vote pushes him above KOS-MOS. Samus Frog Samus is going to kill this divison. I like Frog, Kerrigan is obviously out because of her recent choke job. I don't think Axel is strong enough to take down Frog. Frog did take out Liquid and MC by a few votes, but I don't think he's dropped to Axel's level yet. Scorpion Midna Midna comes off Zelda's most recent title, Scorpion is sadly the best of this weak 4 pack. Mega Man Yoshi (boo censor bypass) This 4 pack is sick, heck even Knuckles has a shot here. I'll go with Yoshi, but I have no confidence with Diablo running around too. Samus Frog Scorpion poses a threat to Frog, but still is at most level with Axel who I have Frog beating in the opening round. Samus Mega Man No doubts here. --- USF Bulls 0-0 (0-0) //// Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1-0 Who cares if it's preseason, obviously Bucs > Pats. |

Div 2: Kefka Zelos I hate this right here. But I'm going Zelos in the fodder trap. Cloud Ocelot This is given, although Valentine may put up a struggle. Auron Shadow This is interesting. Redfield may have enough juices to beat out Shadow, but I think the Sonic fans are too strong Bowser Ryu SF Mewtwo gets wasted away. Ryu should be the easy pick here. Cloud Kefka Ocelot/Kefka is driving me nuts, I think Kefka has the edge, but SFF may play a part. Damn this is a sick set up. Bowser Auron I think this is a given. I don't think Ryu is strong enough. Cloud Bowser Y HELO THAR EASY PICK --- USF Bulls 0-0 (0-0) //// Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1-0 Who cares if it's preseason, obviously Bucs > Pats. |

Division 3 CATS Meta Knight Princess Peach Sephiroth When CATS has a realistic shot of making it to the second round with Sephiroth, you know something is off. As it stands though, I doubt Meta Knight has enough noteriety to take any significant chunks out of Peach's percentage, but CATS has a very realistic shot of pulling this off. Seph > Peach Banjo Captain Falcon Fox McCloud Wario Such a sad fourpack, yet such a pain to predict. I have a feeling Fox and Wario will walk out of this one, but the winner is a complete tossup. On the one hand, Wario has Mario proxy behind him, on the other, alot of the more "serious" gamers find his toilet humour annoying and repulsive. I'm going with Wario > Fox here, but I don't feel comfortable with it Big Boss Mario Pac-Man Wander Does Mario icon-SFF Pac into losing against Big Boss, or will the Pac take out another minor MGS character in a debated match? Big Boss stunk enough that even a good picture (highly unlikely) can save him from the original gaming icon. Bomberman Crash Bandicoot Phoenix Wright Magus Ugh. This will be pathetic, but I think its between Phoenix and Bomberman for second. Crash just hasn't been relevant since the 90's. Bomberman is pretty much iconic, and is coming off a fresh XBLA release. Phoenix's popularity has likely increased since his loss to Gordon Freeman (lol). Actually, come to think of it, if my theories on last year are correct, Phoenix just must squeak this by. Sephy Peach Fox Wario Sephy wins, and Peach runners up in another ugly, lower tier Nintendo SFF fest. Mario Pac Magus Phoenix Mario/Magus move on to put the fodder of this division behind them Sephy Peach Mario Magus Mario/Sephy for the win TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe.

Division 3 Group 1 - Sephiroth blitzes this group. I'm pretty sure Peach will come out as the second. I saw transience say that CATS is guaranteed 12%. I don't think so. He may get 12% in the presence of ONE other choice, but I don't see him getting that in the presence of 3 other choices. Group 2 - 4 characters with a Nintendo fanbase. Pretty sure Fox and Wario come out of this. Group 3 - I have a gut feeling that Big Boss will come out of this one. Pac-Man would beat him, but I don't think Pac-Man would beat him in the presence of Mario. Mario is going to take mostly ALL of Pac-Man's votes. That's probably the worst possible character to have for Pac-Man. At least Big Boss has a fanbase to hold him up... a little. Should be enough to get by SFF'd Pac-Man. Group 4 - Magus gets a bye. The other three are interesting. I'm pretty sure Phoenix Wright doesn't advance. Magus isn't popular enough for someone with a small hardcore following to have a chance. Bomberman and Crash Bandicoot are known enough to be able to get their share of votes. The question is who gets more out of those two? I'm going with Bomberman. Later rounds - Wow, this will most likely be Sephiroth and 3 Nintendo characters fighting. Who gets the SFF out of the Nintendo trio? I'm going with Fox. The second half isn't as difficult. Mario and Magus are walking away from there unscathed. Sephiroth and Mario should easily come out of the division. --- Currently playing: Guitar Hero 2, Gears of War, Saint's Row, SotN (XBLA), Burnout Revenge |

Division 4 Agent J Bidoof Link Miles Edgeworth ... Link with 80%? nah, but he'll have a lot. the other three characters in this are just a joke. they're all niche characters, but they're going to be competing for not very many votes. Bidoof is probably the safe pick just because people will at least know what he is. Edgeworth is the "aw yeah phoenix wright character" pick. Agent J is the "hey I'm going for a zero bracket" pick. yeah, I went there. Miles 'Tails' Prower The Boss Vincent Valentine Zelda Vincent. Zelda. which order? probably Zelda taking first, just looking at the competition. Crono Sam Fisher Simon Belmont Raiden Raiden vs. Simon Belmont. nice to see Simon return. I don't think modern fans even know who he is, though.. Raiden takes second easily. HK-47 Lloyd Irving Jak Zero Zero and three bums. hmm... I have no idea what to predict here. they're all equally weak. I guess I'll pick who has the biggest niche fanbase, and that's TOS / Lloyd. Link Vincent Zelda Bidoof/Miles/J this pisses me off so much. worst match of the contest right here. Vincent/Zelda is a dream one-on-one matchup, but throw Link into the mix and Vincent's the easy second place pick. well, unless people think Zelda is Link. Crono Zero Raiden Lloyd/Jak/HK Crono and Zero are easy picks. I'm not buying Raiden being at Zero's level, sorry. Link Vincent Crono Zero HEY LINK AND CRONO ARE THE SAME CHARACTER CRONO LOSES I have faith in Crono here. VIncent's got a chance, sure, but I'm not picking it. even if Vincent was stronger indirectly, I think I'd still go with Crono. call it Noble Nine bias or some such. --- xexyz |

Div 3: Sephiroth Peach I have a feeling CATS may sneak in, but it's just impossible to pick him. Wario Fox I have Wario going in strong, I think he and Fox will duke it out, but Wario still is the strong pick here. Mario Pac-Man Finally a pick with no worries. Magus Phoenix Crash is dropping each year, shouldn't be a threat this year. Sephiroth Wario I have Wario > Fox and Peach, I also have Fox > Peach, SFF will rue the day here. Mario Magus Fairly simple. Mario Sephiroth The order is the key here. Mario has Galaxy coming out and only Wario to SFF him. I think Mario will take votes from Wario more then Wario would take from Mario. I also think Mario is on par with Sephy, but will be slightly ahead at the end. --- USF Bulls 0-0 (0-0) //// Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1-0 Who cares if it's preseason, obviously Bucs > Pats. |

MM > Samus is a decent upset pick. no one should castrate you for considering that. but it's still an upset pick. you're looking at some serious rSFF there - MM looked way weaker than Samus last year, Metroid Prime 3, etc etc. --- xexyz |

Why are people saying Samus gets SFF'd by Mega Man now? Mega Man is no
Mario and he's weaker than before. Samus on the other hand will have
MP3 released by then, and the Wii fanbase in her pocket. She's
definitely going to hold up against Mega Man. --- Currently playing: Guitar Hero 2, Gears of War, Saint's Row, SotN (XBLA), Burnout Revenge |

Division 4 R1: Bidoof vs. Miles for #2, not too sure what to do here yet. I mean, Bidoof is a Pokemon, and could just get votes for that. Nothing else worth too much for the rest of the round. R2: Zelda gets screwed over by major SFF. Crono and Zero have no trouble. R3: This should be fun.

I'm not set on this yet, but I'll give Ratchet the early advantage with recent games and a lack of confidence in Vergil or Thrall. Yuna MC Hammer I think MC will get enough anti-votes to push him to end. Vercetti is weakening every year also. So I give Yuna this 4 pack. Alucard Ness The big debate between Ness and Liquid has only begun. I am not dead set on Ness, but he is Nintendo, and there's always that to take into account. Ganondorf Luigi I don't think Luigi will be SFF'd enough to lose out here. Yuna Alucard This is so damn hard it hurts. Hell even Ness has a shot. I may change to MC, but MC's history is always fresh on my mind. This is just too painful to even come up with a good pick. Ganondorf Yuna I'm fairly confident in this. Yuna is strong enough to take out everyone in this region outside of Ganondorf, and Luigi should get SFF'd enough to mot pose a huge threat. --- USF Bulls 0-0 (0-0) //// Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1-0 Who cares if it's preseason, obviously Bucs > Pats. |
