lol vaan Sums up this match perfectly Also, sorry for my absense today, my internet has been acting up, and I went to camp for the day. Firstly: lol vaan of course Secondly: Wow @ Rikku managing to get the lead overnight, and still hold up somewhat respectively against the dual Yoshi/Knuckles day votes. This makes me worry a bit about Mega > Knux, butj perhaps we will end up right with our prediction of massive SFF. As for tomorrow, I still feel comfortable with KOS-MOS. Today showed us that there's a "casual" portion of the vote (the 70% between Yoshi and Knux) that Mega Man Diablo and Arthas will take the lion's share of, and the smaller, but still potent "hardkor3" vote which I think KOS might grab.

The question RPGuy posed about whether Vaan in this match helping or
hurting Rikku is an interesting one. I really have no idea which is the
case. It could be either one - Vaan helps Rikku because she wouldn't be able to SFF another random character. But the other way makes some more sense to me - Vaan hurts Rikku, because another random character would hurt Yoshi and Knuckles more. But I really have little clue; they both make some logical sense. Regarding SFF in these polls possibly hurting Rikku, even though she's the one that benefits from Same Fanbase Factor over Vaan, I think we need a new term. Since in this scenario the split fanbase is causing Vaan to leech votes, I suggest we call it LFF - Leeching Fanbase Factor. Or someone else can suggest whatever other acronym the like. Just seems like there should be some distinction, to avoid confusion. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

I don't see any way possible that Vaan would help Rikku. Rikku and Vaan are sharing the "Square" vote to simplify things. Replace Vaan with... say, Crash Bandicoot, and I think Rikku would be comfortably over Knuckles right now, and probably closing in on Yoshi. Same thing if you were to replace Yoshi with..... Balthier. Knuckles would easily be over 45%, and maybe pushing 50% TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

It's not that simple, though. People are not company robots. Sure,
people who like Vaan are likely to like Rikku as well. The argument is
that of the people who like both, the vast majority of them voted
Rikku. Whereas people who like Vaan and Yoshi or Vaan and Knuckles had
more of an even split, none of which would go to Rikku if Vaan weren't
there. I think I have to agree with this, because Rikku would lose a
lot worse to Knuckles 1v1. --- FFXII NLB - finished - 39 marks FFXII LLIENANMiNDM - Bhujerba (post-Ba'Gamnan) |

Match II: Arthas vs Diablo vs KOS-MOS vs Mega Man Information Name: Arthas Menethil Game/Series From: Warcraft series Past Contests: None Wins: N/A Losses: N/A Name: Diablo Game/Series From: Diablo series Past Contests: VC2k5, CB2k5 Wins: Ridley (VC), M Bison (VC), Kefka (VC), Kratos Aurion (2k5) Losses: Ganondorf (VC), Sonic (2k5) Name: KOS-MOS Game/Series From: Xenosaga series Past Contests: CB2k3, CB2k4, CB2k5, CB2k6 Wins: Crash (2k3), Amy Rose (2k6) Losses: Samus (2k3), Ryu (2k4), Luigi (2k5), Aeris (2k6) Name: Mega Man Game/Series From: Mega Man series Past Contests: CB2k2, CB2k3, CB2k4, CB2k5, CB2k6 Wins: Ms. Pac-Man (2k2), Serious Sam (2k2), Mr. Resetti (2k3), Zelda (2k3), Tommy Vercetti (2k3), Solid Snake (2k3), Earthworm Jim (2k4), Tidus (2k4), Zero (2k4), Solid Snake (2k4), Conker (2k5), Leon Kennedy (2k5), Yoshi (2k5), Sonic (2k5), Axel (2k6), Ryu (2k6), Sora (2k6) Losses: Sephiroth (2k2), Sephiroth (2k3), Link (2k4), Crono (2k5), Solid Snake (2k6) Analysis: This is the first match that got a lot of discussion during the pre-contest, not for who will come in first, but on who will take second. This match is the first to include a member of the noble 9; will they survive this contest or will they fall because of the new style? It seems like Mega Man will easily take first. With him doing very well in the past and having little to no overlap with the fanbases of his opponents I see no reason why the noble 9 will fall tomorrow. I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes and push for above 50%. The real question for this match is who will take second? KOS-MOS and Diablo are the front runners in taking second, both are near each other in terms of strength and both have a dedicated fanbase, but Diablo as seen in the past has the power of rallying on his side. If this was a three way match I would have taken Diablo as the safe pick, but there is one more character that is also in this match. Arthas may not be directly in the match taking second, but he being in the match may sway the results. Like Starcraft I see Warcraft characters not being that strong because the player focuses more on the game itself than the characters even though they have a good story behind them. One of the biggest reasons people are taking KOS-MOS > Diablo is because Arthas and Diablo will split the fanbase, but how much will it affect the match? I’m not expecting the SFF to be as great as Nintendo or Square SFF, but never experiencing Blizzard SFF you have to wonder how much SFF there will be. Looking at the two games they are both on the same system and they appeal to the same audience so take that as you will. Even without Arthas in the poll I can see KOS-MOS pulling out the win against Diablo, but with him in it tilts the odds to KOS-MOS’s favor. Anyway Mega Man will take first and I’m going with KOS-MOS to take a close second. Watch the two winners of this match be decided right at the beginning of the poll. charmander6000’s Bracket: Mega Man > KOS-MOS charmander6000’s Prediction: Mega Man - 49.27%, KOS-MOS - 22.64%, Diablo - 20.84%, Arthas - 7.25% --- The Board 8 BOP - http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB6%20BOP.xls Match 1: Yoshi > Knuckles Points: 0/0 |

Round 1- Division 1 Group B Characters Involved Arthas Newcomer to the field and the first Warcraft character to make the bracket. Basically the Sarah Kerrigan of the Warcraft universe, I don't expect him to be much stronger than his Starcrafty predecessor. Although rallying did put Warcraft over the favoured GTA in the series contest. Diablo Spring 2005 Contest Ruin Division - 7 Seed Ruin Round 1 --- Defeated (2) Ridley, 42796 [57.65%] - 31438 [42.35%] Ruin Semifinal --- Defeated (6) M. Bison, 44627 [52.88%] - 39761 [47.12%] Ruin Final --- Defeated (1) Kefka, 45547 [54.09%] - 38660 [45.91%] Final Four - Lost to (1) Ganondorf, 30345 [34.80%] - 56848 [65.20%] Extrapolated Strength --- 4th Place [29.12%] Summer 2005 Contest Chaos Division - 5 Seed Chaos Round 1 --- Defeated (4) Kratos Aurion, 48783 [56.76%] - 37162 [43.24%] Chaos Semifinal --- Lost to (1) Sonic the Hedgehog, 28954 [31.45%] - 63014 [68.55%] Extrapolated Strength --- 35th Place [22.20%] Truly the Cinderella of the 2k5 Villain contest, most had him going down to Ridley in the first round. Well, he turned around and ended up destroying his division en route to ranking 4th place in the contest (behind Ganon Bowser and Sephiroth of course). He's proven himself to be a decent midcarder and is one of the contenders for the second spot in this poll. KOS-MOS Summer 2003 Contest North Division - 7 Seed Northern Round 1 --- Defeated (10) Crash Bandicoot, 61141 [61.98%] - 37510 [38.02%] Northern Quarterfinal --- Lost to (2) Samus, 34246 [30.25%] - 78948 [69.75%] Extrapolated Strength --- 36th Place [22.22%] Summer 2004 Contest Chaos Division - 8 Seed Chaos Round 1 --- Lost to (9) Ryu, 31954 [37.87%] - 52425 [62.13%] Extrapolated Strength --- 31st Place [22.60%] Summer 2005 Contest Chaos Division - 7 Seed Chaos Round 1 --- Lost to (2) Luigi, 36187 [34.00%] - 70232 [66.00%] Extrapolated Strength --- 45th Place [19.52%] Summer 2006 Contest Triforce Division - 3 Seed Triforce Round 1 --- Defeated (6) Amy Rose, 67068 [65.43%] - 35441 [34.57%] Triforce Semifinal --- Lost to (2) Aeris, 43543 [38.35%] - 70006 [61.65%] Extrapolated Strength --- 31st Place [29.59%] KOS-MOS has always been a decent midcarder (aside from her huge fall in 2k5) and her performance against Aeris last year is likely the main reason much of Board 8 has her moving on from this match. It will be interesting to see how she does now that she no longer has new games to keep her fresh. |

Last year he was a member of the bottom tier of the Noble Nine (right alongside Sonic and Crono) despite many people calling for his head after he was destroyed by Snake. When Snake put similar numbers on Sonic the very next round, it became clear that all of Mega Man's previous matches that year were the legitimate strengths of his opponents. The only way he doesn't come first in this match is if hell freezes over, and since Diablo hasn't taken Arthas' spot on the Frozen Throne, I think it's safe to call this a lock. Predictions: Mega Man is a lock to dominate this match. We're talking 50-60% here, unless you're one of the knobs who think he's under Vincent/Ganondorf as of last year. So the question will be who gets second? All 3 of his opponents have a legitimate chance, and it's likely to be somewhat close. The deciding factor though, in my opinion, will be Xenosaga's RPG cult fanbase going up against a divided Blizzard vote. If it had been any other character in Arthas' place, I'd have given this to Diablo without hesitation. But Blizzard doesn't have nearly enough strength to stand divided like Rikku did today. |

Which brings us to the percentage. Running last year's stats with Mega Man and KOS-MOS gives us a 65-35 affair. Of course that is with a likely underrated Mega Man and a likely overrated KOS-MOS, so let's bump that up a smidge to 70-30. Running 2k5 MM against Diablo gives us a similar number, so it will be safe to say that the split between Diablo/Arthas and KOS-MOS will be nearly even, with Diablo/Arthas getting a bigger chunk due to an aging KOS-MOS and an increase in World of Warcraft userbase. So my thoughts are something along the lines of 52-21-17-10 for Mega Man, KOS-MOS, Diablo and Arthas. Expect the three weaker characters to do best at night while Mega Man blasts them all away during the day-time. TuRtLe's Prediction: Mega Man 52%, KOS-MOS 21%, Diablo 17% and Arthas 10% TuRtLe's Bracket: Mega Man > KOS-MOS TuRtLe's Vote: Mega Man TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe.

I don't believe that KOS-MOS has wide enough popularity to get second,
yes the Blizzard vote will be split but I cannot see that working in
KOS-MOS' favor. --- Today's Subliminal Thought Is: |

Well, I took Diablo because I think his 32% against Sonic is better
than KOS-MOS' 38% against Aeris (who's strength is dubious). Arthas
being in the poll is what worries me. --- Currently Playing: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Persona 3 |

As much as I like Knux, I think him moving on today is due to bracket
votes. Since it's so early on in the thing, _nobody_ wants to lose a
point for no good reason (or in the case of 0 point brackets, "gain" a
point). Just throwing that out there for everyone, but I'm beginning to
see Rikku as being _stronger_ than Knuckles (at least in this format). ...Or it could just be Yoshi SFF'ing the hell out of Knuckles? Who knows. Oh how I should've taken advantage of the days of Link vs Aiai brackets. :( --- Proud fanboy of the Ogre Battle saga!!! ~~~Allah Approves~~~ |

I'd think Yoshi > Rikku is the bracket favorite overall. Knuckles never gets much support. --- "GUYS I JUST DRANK A MASTER CHIEF SODA, MASTER CHIEF FOR 2007!" - Swirldude |

I'd imagine bracket voters would probably also be voting Yoshi before looking at the results. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." - Joseph Stalin |

I don't think fans get split over companies (or at least not to the
degree that a lot of people seem to be implying). Diablo is a hack and
slash and Warcraft is a RTS. The overlap should not be large. Heck,
one's a normal Blizzard title and one is a Blizzard North title, which
might as well be two separate companies. >_> --- Hello world |
