I'm still keeping Mega Man, just don't act like Samus has the division in the bag.

BOLD PREDICTION: A random Link & Cloud fan wins the contest.

Division 4

Agent J
Bidoof
Link
Miles Edgeworth

UGH!

Link will DESTROY this match SO HARD. As for second, Bidoof just might make it on joke votes alone (we all saw what Nidoran F "did" to Samus last year). I have to take Bidoof here since I don't think SFF works on joke characters.

Miles 'Tails' Prower
The Boss
Vincent Valentine
Zelda

Zelda and Vince get the bye, but who will come out on top? This has been debated over the offseason, and I think Zelda just might have what it takes to win this one.

Crono
Sam Fisher
Simon Belmont
Raiden

Crono and Raiden guarenteed. This will be interesting only to see where (if anywhere) Raiden stands, and if he poses a threat to Zero in the next round.

HK-47
Lloyd Irving
Jak
Zero

Nice to see Zero stomping in some faces for a change. As for second place......... I guess Jak, if only on name recognition/casual votes alone

Link
Bidoof
Zelda
Vincent

Poor Zelda will get a severe beating here. Will be interesting to see how she compares to Ganon against Link. Link/Vince move on.

Crono
Raiden
Zero
Jak

Crono/Zero is the safe bet, and the only thing I can think of to stop that is if Raiden is announced as playable in Brawl

Link
Vincent
Crono
Zero

Most people will go with the Noble Nine here, or take Vincent in the upset, but I'm going to take this oppurtunity to pick an unlikely upset in Zero. Think about it, Vincent and Crono went nearly toe to toe in 2k5. That effectively splits their power in half, and unless we see more fishy Nintendo/Mega Man SFF, Zero has a realistic shot at this.

Hmm...The only four person contest poll we've seen to this point was a huge upset (Snake > Sephiroth). That's gotta be a good omen or something.

I don't see how anyone can pick Scorpion over Midna. Zelda > Mortal Kombat and if you make Scorpion analogous with Sub-Zero by the reasoning that lesser characters from the same series are akin to their more famous counter-parts albeit a bit weaker, making Midna analogous with Zelda still makes her > scorpion.

Dante
Little Mac

Matt or Mac, still can't decide, so I'm not posting a big analysis of this one yet.

Ada
Jade

I hate this four pack. I really do. I just don't know.

Tidus
Pikachu

Pikachu may get the antivotes, but I think the mouse has enough spark to get by.

Leon
Ridley

Yay a fairly easy one.

Dante
Ada

*smacks SBAllen*

Leon
Tidus

Fairly simple, may be close with Ridley, but I think it's given.

Dante

Ordering is my only concern here.

Freeman definitely wins there. Ike vs. Duke could be interesting though. Duke has nowhere to go but down since the last contest, and Ike should have a little strength (plus he's the only Nintendo character there). Plus, look at what Felix did to Master Chief...and Ike could definitely be as strong as Felix.

Luigi
Mudkip
Pit
Tingle

haha. Mudkip.

if anonymous gets behind Mudkip, we're going to be seeing some scary things. it's a LOT easier to fix a four-way poll than a two-way one. same goes for Arthas should he get that support. give me Mudkip finishing second here - no way Tingle does it, and Pit's just a few months too early. Mudkip is a far wider-spread joke than Bidoof.

Ganondorf
Ratchet
Thrall
Vergil

Ganondorf and.. uh, Ratchet? the second of the four characters here confuses me. I'll probably have to defer to people who know the characters better and follow the wave here.

Master Chief
PaRappa
Tommy Vercetti
Yuna

Master Chief's gonna be a treat to watch. Vercetti will do better than expected, but he still doesn't touch Yuna, who finishes second.

actually, she has an outside chance of finishing first, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Alucard
Liquid Snake
Ness
Zidane Tribal

cute fourpack here. Zidane gets a match with no other Square characters, Liquid Snake gets a shot at redemption, Alucard's got that Xbox/PS3 support and Ness has nothing Nintendo to mess with him. I bet Alucard/Ness ends up being the consensus here, but don't count out Liquid Snake or Zidane. Alucard's the only one I'm confident in here. this could go any which way.

Luigi
Ganondorf
Mudkip
Ratchet/Vergil/Thrall

normally this Nintendo twosome would be in trouble, but I can't see Mudkip or the other threesome giving Luigi or Ganondorf much trouble here. the only outside chance here is Mudkip getting anonymous'd, and that's not something I'm going to bet on.

Master Chief
Yuna
Alucard
Ness (Liquid Snake? Zidane?)

MC definitely survives this fourpack. Yuna almost definitely does, unless Alucard grows significantly and Yuna regresses. both are possible.

Luigi
Ganondorf
Master Chief
Yuna

I wrote about this in the last topic. to me, this is THE matchup of the contest. you can make arguments all over the place. going on sheer strength:

Ganondorf > Luigi > Yuna > Master Chief

unfortunately for the Nintendo guys, they're going to suck up each other's votes, and Ganondorf has proven to be awful with SFF before. then you've got Master Chief who's the ultimate character in a contest like this, and Yuna being the lone Square character. this could go ANY WHICH WAY.

Div 7:
Kirby
L-Block

I love how L-Block could and hopefully will advance. I'm on the bandwagon and can't resist.

Kratos
DK Donkey Kong DK Donkey Kong is here

Marth is still too weak in my eyes.

Snake
Vyse

Also simple enough.

Ryu H
Riku

Ordering is up in the air.

Kirby
Kratos

Ordering is a big issue here. I'll probably end up with Kratos on top with DK SFF present.

Snake
Ryu H

I hate this one. Riku and Vyse will be in the hunt.

Snake
Kirby

Still could put Kratos in. Yeah this is a sick division. I think Kirby won't suffer SFF here.

Division 5

Luigi
Mudkip
Pit
Tingle

Wow @ 4 Nintendo characters. Okay, process of elimination. Luigi wins, lol tingle, which leaves Pit vs Mudkip.

....
........

UGHHHHHHHHH

Pit supporters are banking on his SSB:B appearance (a good month and a half before the game will even be out) to pull him through, but Mudkip has a very popular internet fad, and the mindless tools over at 4chan to support him. RAHGAHGJDHGSJGHJSDHGJ

Ganondorf
Ratchet
Thrall
Vergil

Once again, Thrall but no Illdan? wtf is this? This could be a good one, since WoW's popularity might just put Thrall over Vergil. Ganon > Thrall is my pick

Master Chief
PaRappa
Tommy Vercetti
Yuna

Here we get to see The Chief shine, in what will probably be his last match before Halo 3. Chief > Yuna

Alucard
Liquid Snake
Ness
Zidane Tribal

This may be the hardest first round match yet. You could make a strong case for any of these characters. Personally, I'm backing Alucard/Ness though I admit this one could go any which way.

Luigi
Ganondorf
Thrall

Luigi and Ganon go on despite what could be an ugly SFF affair.

Master Chief
Yuna
the other 2

Chief and Yuna walk out of this one, but this time it should be after Halo 3. If Chief doesn't beat her the first time, he will here.

Luigi
Ganondorf
Master Chief
Yuna

This is an icky one that will be decided after the second round. Specifically to see how Luigi/Ganon affect eachother. Right now I have this blank, and have a feeling it will stay blank until the deadline

Div 5

R1: I agree with tran about Mudkip. Pit is just a bit too fresh to take #2. Nothing else too bad until the last group, which is evil. Alucard takes it, but #2 is up in the air.

R2: Nothing too bad here.

R3: This should be interesting. Chief has a good chance thanks to Ganon/Luigi messing with each other. Yuna also has a good shot as well. Any two could take this.

Division 4

Group 1 - Link slaughters the division. I mentioned Bidoof taking it if people recognize him as a Pokemon. But Edgeworth has a chance at least.

Group 2 - Vincent and Zelda take this easily.

Group 3 - Crono slaughters this division with Raiden taking up second. Raiden definitely will have enough hardcore fans to outlast Fisher and Simon Belmont.

Group 4 - YES! Zero gets redemption for a horrible matchup last year and massacres this group. The rest of this division sucks. Not only are they all weak as hell, but none of them are even relevant at the moment. I mean at least Ratchet has an upcoming game announced for this gen. Ugh. Zero is going to look really good in this division. I can't even choose between the other three. That's sad. Uhhh, uhhh, uhhhh, screw it. HK-47.

Later rounds - Link's presence destroys Zelda/Vincent potential. Zero shouldn't have too much trouble beating out Raiden to join Crono. BUT Crono/Vincent ought to be a kick ass fight to see who joins Zero.

Ganon > Luigi
Ganon's done better than Luigi in all previous character battles and should maybe get a little "wake-up call" boost thanks to TP seeing as he's been given a notable appearance in the past 6 months while Luigi's fallen into the depths of obscurity since...Super Mario Bros 2.

Final Rounds:
Cloud
Samus

I don't think MM will do it. Bowser gets crapped on here.

Link
Sephiroth

OK who called for a Link/Mario/Sephy/Crono 4 pack. I think Link will SFF Mario to hell and Sephy makes up for the gap unlike the previous matchup between the two.

Ganondorf
Dante

I just don't like Yuna and Leon here. After the last 4 pack this is stale.

Sonic
Snake

2 NNers but Sonic is still supreme.

Link
Cloud

Yup

Sonic
Snake

Ordering still doesn't change

Division 6

Amaterasu
Dante
Little Mac
Matt (Wii Sports)

Ama-what?

Dante walks away with this, leaving the 2 Nintendo boxers to duke it out. Have a feeling Matt might take this though based solely on Wii bandwagoning. I know the nomination drive had some support over at LL, that could help him.

Ada Wong
Balthier Bunansa
Frank West
Jade Curtiss

Sexcellent, Balthier makes his contest debut by beating on fodder. As popular as Dead Rising was, I can't see this going anywhere but Balthier > Ada

Isaac
Pikachu
Serge
Tidus

Here's another icky match. Does Pika ride the Nintendo wave to a win over that piece of crap from FFX? Sadly (or is it?) I think not. Teedus > the yellow rat. I wish we could just eliminate this entire disgrace of a fourpack.

Leon Kennedy
Ridley
Spyro the Dragon
Vivi Ornitier

Had Ridley not been in the Villain Contest, I'd have taken him #2 to Leon's #1, but Ridley had been in the VC, and got beat in the first round.

Leon > Vivi as the little black mage that could returns from haitus in style.

Dante
Matt
Balthier
Ada

Dante > Balthier, though it will be interesting to see how the sky pirate stacks up to actual competition

Teedus
Pikachu
Leon
Vivi

Ouch @ the fact that Pikachu might just advance here. Hopefully Vivi can get on the extremely good side of Final Fantasy SFF here (being an iconic Black Mage doesn't hurt). Second place can go any which way here. I'll go with Vivi, because despite the fact that he's from FF9, he's the character I would most like to see advance to the next round of the 3.

Dante
Balthier
Leon
Vivi

2 Capcom characters and 2 Square characters. Safe bet is on Danta/Leon and thats where my money is.

Division 7

Kirby
L-Block
Laharl
Nathan Hale

Never did I imagine we'd see the day where the L Tetris block had a realistic chance of advancing. Well, here it is. Laharl is from probably the most obscure game featured in these contests (aside from lol shadow hearts) and Nathan Hale is from a mediocre PS3 launch title. I think the sheer joke vote will be enough to secure second for the L-block. Match pick should be a hoot.

jDonkey Kong
Kratos
Marth
Prince of All Cosmos

We'll finally get to see the effect of God of War 2 as Kratos gets to beat on a weakened DK. Good stuff.

Nightmare
Rayman
Solid Snake
Vyse

Vyse and Rayman...... ugh. During the nomination rally, I was critical of Nightmare's chances of winning a match. I suppose I should take that back now.

Haseo
Riku
Roxas
Ryu Hayabusa

The original ninja should have no trouble with this, especially due to KH split. And I think Riku is the safe bet to come out on top of that one.

Kirby
L-block
DK
Kratos

Kratos has this in the bag, especially due to Kirby/DK beating on eachother. And knowing DK's penchant for choking, Kirby is the safe bet for second.

Snake
Nightmare
Ryu H
Riku

Riku might finally have a chance to prove himself here. He impressed me last year, and I think he has what it takes to take down Ryu.

Kratos
Kirby
Snake
Riku

Call it overrating, but due to Snake being Nintendo now, I think this will be Snake and Kratos moving on. He wouldn't even NEED his GoW2 boost to take this.

It's a fodder division, so it's not a surprise that all the best matches are fodder.

Matt/Ammy/Mac - I suppose any of the three could take this. Matt might have the best shot, but I really don't know...

Frank/Ada - Meh, Ada's weakness last year is enough for me to take Frank. Dead Rising's pretty popular, and Frank's pretty loved as a main character.

Serge/Pikachu - Square SFF and Nintendo SFF are both affecting these guys. I think Serge is stronger to start with, so I'm taking him...but I suppose Pikachu might be able to do it.

Tidus/Vivi/Leon - Leon > Tidus > the rest. Don't see this as very close, though some might.

All right, I've found the bracket here, and I haven't looked at anything on the board to spoil me. I want to be surprised as to everything I see. And I'll post my impressions as I go.

Ahh, it's a 128 character contest, a Fatal Fourway with two characters moving on every round. So...is it four characters EVERY round or just the first round? Not sure on that.

First Division

Holy crap, awesome first match. Knuckles, Rikku, Vaan, and Yoshi? Knuckles and Yoshi advance to be sure while Rikku and Vaan SFF each other. Knuckles is the SQUARE KILLER, and he gets a two-for-one to make up for last year! Wait, I have to decide who WINS this poll and who finishes second? Well, if Yoshi can win a favorite Mario character poll, I reckon he can win this one. But Knuckles DID win the favorite Sonic character poll.

Second match: Arthas, Diablo, KOS-MOS, and Mega Man? Mega Man wins easily. Hmmm...Two Blizzard characters? I'll take KOS-MOS for the upset there.

Third match: Axel, Frog, Samus, and Kerrigan? So Samus is in. Wonder if Clinkeroth is in. Hmmm...Seems like an obvious victory for Samus and Frog. I wonder how low Kerrigan will go!

Fourth match: Agent 47, Kratos Aurion, Midna, and Scorpion? Ahh, there's Midna, and she's given a poll where she can easily advance. Scorpion could threaten though, but when in doubt, choose Zelda.

Second Division

First match: Kefka, Marcus Fenix, Tom Nook, and Zelos Wilder? Wow, I didn't think Kefka would get a fourway poll he could WIN.

Second match: Cloud Strife, Jill Valentine, the...Midgar Zolom?! And Revolver Ocelot? Whoa! Poor Zolomy though. Cloud will wreck him badly.

Third match: Auron, Chris Redfield, Pyramid Head, and Shadow the Hedgehog? Shadow returns, eh? He'll get second, Auron wins.

Fourth match: Bowser, Mewtwo, Ryu, and Toad? Poor Mewtwo, wins the rally and gets stuck in triple Nintendo SFF. Bowser wins, and Ryu gets by on principle.

Third Division

First match: CATS, Meta-Knight, Peach, and Sephiroth? Pretty straightforward: Sephy and Peach.

Second match: Banjo, Captain Falcon, Fox McCloud, and Wario? Super Smash Brothers ahoy! See ya later, Banjo.

Third match: Big Boss, Mario, Pac-Man, and Wander? Mario will make what Yoshi and Luigi did to Pac-Man seem like a joke. Big Boss advances past the first round! Huzzah!

Fourth match: Bomberman, Crash Bandicoot, Phoenix Wright, and Magus? Bomberman is back! And he might get past the first round! I'll have to think about that one though.
