Zero has no chance to make it past round 3. Even if Vincent and Crono
SFF each other to death, Zero has to face Link, and we all know how
well Mega Man held up against him. --- Currently Playing: Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner, Persona 3 |

The logic there would be that Zero's fanbase is much more hardcore than
Mega Man's, as evidence by Zero rSFFing MM in 2k4. He's also a huge fan
favorite, which should help him hold up. Furthermore, none of his strength comes from the NES, and all of Zero's playable appearances came from the PS1 onwards. He's not going to be SFF'd nearly as much as MM was. --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

And the counter-argument of that is Luigi beat Zero. But I have faith in him, and have a feeling this format will limit any damage Link can do to him. True he has to perform like he did back in 2k3 to take advantage of the Vincent/Crono split, but I have a feeling that if anyone can pull it off, it's Zero.

Vercetti is a character who has NO staying power. Every year, he gets a
little older and lot less relevant. I was surprised he even made it,
even with 128 characters. --- http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2088 Never forget. |

I'll agree with that. I can see Vercetti doing VERY poorly there and
having little to no effect on MC. The trick there is does MC have the
power to take down Yuna before Halo 3 comes out? TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Ryu H in first? Would Riku just SFF Roxas to hell? Or would they both
be so strong that Ryu H would be left cold. --- Pokemon FC: 0129 8285 9148 Jump Ultimate Stars FC: 1504 2045 7334 |

And I don't recall anybody supporting me after Snake/Mega Man and
before Sonic/Snake. It was just page after page of KH calling me a
moron, then completely avoiding the subject when I was proven right. You were never "proven right", especially to me - not that you've paid any attention to ANYTHING I've posted since then, apparently. Mega Man was not equal to Sonic in 2006. I still stand by any detracting comments I've made (and will make in the future!). And of course, I was probably one of the biggest Peach insulters during 2k6. I took her to crush Jill Ulti-style, IIRC - and she fell flat on her face. That's her most humilating match of the contest to me. --- "TIME TO _____ THEN." - Karma Hunter, ABSENT 8 Commit it to memory. |

I wish the third option was the case, but
Roxas doesn't stand a chance of advancing. Riku will be hurt a little
bit, but not enough for Hayabusa to leapfrog him. I'd be more worried about what Snake will do to Riku in the next round. --- http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2088 Never forget. |

The trick there is does MC have the power to take down Yuna before Halo 3 comes out? I'm a little unconvinced of what Yuna's going to be able to do in these polls. All those multi-option polls she's in are really unimpressive, although that may not be giving her enough due credit due to other FF characters being there. Still, I'm not buying that her strength from last year was indicative of her strength. Not getting me to believe she does anything but get rocked by Ganon if you hold that match again today. I think Master Chief can take that one pretty easy. Halo 3 won't be out by then, but it'll be out a few days later. He probably doesn't even need it to win that, but the hype for the game will be at its peak at that point. Close enough to being "out" without being "out." --- Believe |

Hayabusa taking first place from Riku..,. actually seems pretty
reasonable to me. I don't think Riku would get that much SFF on Roxas,
though they'd split the vote. Before SFF and such, I'd expect something like: Haseo - 13% Riku - 35% Roxas - 25% Hayabusa - 27% Hypothetical real result: Haseo - 15% Riku - 30% Roxas - 20% Hayabusa - 35% This honestly goes pretty easy on the KH fanbase split, if you ask me. They would probably lose more than 10% total. Give Riku some extra SFF: Haseo - 15% Riku - 34% Roxas - 16% Hayabusa - 35% Again, the KH fanbase-split (loss) would probably be even larger. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those.

You know, originally Auron/Bowser/Ryu/Shadow seemed like a dream match
at first glance and seemed pretty clear cut upon thinking about it. However, upon doing some research, that fourpack is suddenly looking very wide open. I'm almost positive Auron advances, but the other three have legit shots for that other place, I think. --- "I'm no hero...Never was. I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work." |

You've really got to stop bringing this up because it makes no sense
to think that Bowser is some sort of poison for Ryu. Sure, he beat him
down pretty handily in 2005, but it wasn't a BLOWOUT (by non-Ulti
standards). Turning a 50/50 match according to previous and future stats into a 60/40 whipping leads me to believe Bowser is some kind of poison to Ryu...unless you would like to say Mario isn't a poison to Samus. If a Bowser/Ryu rematch were to happen, how would you expect it to go? I personally think it's ridiculous that you keep talking about Bowser hurting Ryu more than Mewtwo or Toad despite both being Nintendo and him not. Bowser keep Toad out of contention completely. Mewtwo ensures it. There is NO way Bowser hurts Ryu more than Mewtwo or Toad. Bowser hurt Ryu more than Samus hurt Nidoran. Heck, you're a huge lover of the SSB having a serious effect on strength theory, and guess who's in SSBM with Bowser? MEWTWO! And guess what, Mewtwo sucks in the game! No tier advantage! Totally irrelevant to my case, I wasn't planning on bringing up SSBM because of this. And Bowser getting hindered to the point that Ryu takes first is much more likely than Bowser hindering Ryu to the point that Mewtwo takes second. It's possible, I'm still debating it with myself. You've seen Ryu get a cool 30% in that Favorite SF Character poll, and his fans seem to be pretty dedicated to him. Mewtwo would get 30% against most Pokemon in a poll, and we've seen Pokemon hold up better in Nintendo-polls than SF has in Capcom-polls. Pokemon is more relevant to GameFAQs today and is arguably a stronger force than SF as well. Not that Mewtwo would beat Ryu, but I don't see him budging much. Bowser isn't going to hurt Mewtwo much at all -- those two will cost Toad dignity before anything else. I just don't think Mewtwo should be getting overlooked when we've seen how sturdy Pokemon is here and Mewtwo is going to be its most respectable rep. --- PETITION: a "Contest Suggestions" board.

I really think this topic is getting too serious. I mean realistically
none of us have a clue what is going to happen when these polls start.
90% of this site couldn't have predicted what happened in last years
final multi-polls and that was with characters where we thought we knew
where they stood. Truth be told we can all only imagine what is in
store for the upcoming contest which makes it have the potential to be
one of the best we have had in a while. I Just dont think we need to be
pulling out the troll card in this topic save it for elsewhere i mean
this contest is designed for the outrageous so it is bound to happen in
at least one match. Otherwise feel free to argue away! As for the current discussions I can't see Ryu H pulling first in his bracket because I think Riku is gonna SFF Roxas badly. As for the Yuna Master Cheif debacle I think the Cheif is gonna show us just what he is made of in the Div Final. I expect the usual choke job. Sure he should be able to take Yuna and a weak Gdorf because of Luigi stealing fanbase but its the Master Cheif... Plus Halo 3 won't bring them to this site there are too many more sites that offer more to Halo players then Gamefaqs. --- "I'll do it with my magic!" - Tellah FF4 |

Vercetti was an ideal opponent for Kite. Just like Halo, GTA and its characters *definitely* fall prey to anti-votes. He fell 3% short of Max Payne's score against Vercetti.

The only way Bowser/Ryu is even in the same realm as Mario/Samus is if
you believe Bowser pulled some sort of "era-SFF" on Ryu... but if that
were the case, Mega Man - who very, VERY obviously SFFed Yoshi - should
have done the exact same thing to Ryu. A random overperformance is one
thing, but by that same token you shouldn't expect it to happen again
unless it's something that only happens when Bowser meets Ryu (or
something to that effect). --- "TIME TO _____ THEN." - Karma Hunter, ABSENT 8 Commit it to memory. |

I've been doing percentages for my own analyses, and trying to do that

your ordering because I have no idea what to expect. ...I think I did convince myself to take Ryu > Bowser in the first round because of that though, but I always hate changing my bracket. --- "I'm no hero...Never was. I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work." |
