What do you mean, for Marcus to slip by? There's a very real chance
that Marcus is stronger than both Jill and Ocelot in a 1v1, they aren't
exactly pillars of strength. Marcus is doing damn well for himself here. --- Explicit Content. I wish Lei Fang were my mom. I'd like drug her and feel her up and stuff. - Ken |

Jill wasn't in RE4 right? Which means all she has outside of her PS1
games are the REmakes on the cube which supposedly didn't sell that
great? Granted, this would be a much better point if she was wearing her RE3 outfit, but I still think of Jill when I see "TJF." Boobs & Guns FT2! --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

I don't think Vaan would be nearly as pathetic in a 1 on 1 match with
no Rikku stealing his votes. He's basically a weaker neo-Tidus, both in
appearance and contest strength. He'll hold up decently against regular
opponents, but folds like an umbrella when put against other Square
characters. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

What? I thought Ocelot's popularity came mainly from MGS2, 3 and 4. I don't know enough about 4 to comment, but in MGS2 he spends half the game being controlled by his arm, and he looks completely different in MGS3.

I don't know why we're talking about her games like they're new and
exciting or anything. She barely lost to Peach, and she hasn't had
anything since then. It's as simple as that. She's going to be right
around the same mark. --- Explicit Content. I wish Lei Fang were my mom. I'd like drug her and feel her up and stuff. - Ken |

I don't think Ocelot is a real threat to Marcus. Jill is, but I'm still
pretty confident he's stronger than her. Cloud>Marcus is certainly
what I'm expecting. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

"REmakes" shouldn't be plural anyway. Only the first game was a REmake. RE2, RE3, and RE:CVX were pure ports (poREts?) that were way overpriced. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. Character Battle V Contest Winner! |

I don't think any singular thing will screw you over that badly (unless
you screw up something in the final rounds, but for us the
quarterfinals on are pretty much set in stone). For me, it will either by my Zero pick or Master Chief tanking. But I have a lot of faith in the Chief, and if Zero pulls it off I can basically take first prize right then and there.

I'm pretty sure you can miss 1 or 2 2nd Round matches and still be in
contention. That's just a guess, but judging on how many "perfects" we
have (and how very many we have that are far FAR from it), I'd say
that's a good guess. Overall, if you can get out of Round 1 missing 10 points or fewer, I'd say you're in really good shape. --- KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (0-0) : AFC Wildcard NEXT: at Houston Texans (0-0) |

| Master Chief could be peforming like last year Solid Snake. Everyone doubted Snake at the beginning of the contest last year however he went on to blow MM and Sonic away and validated that his new found power is no fluke. |

| Actually, if my theories on last year hold true,
then Yuna was noticeably overrated by her 1-seed. Going by her 2k5
numbers, Master Chief does a number on her. Plus this year MC has alot
more going for him, what with Halo 3 coming out less than 2 weeks after
his first match. Even if he doesn't get first in Round 1, there's no
way he doesn't get first in round 2. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Maybe Kefka does just suck in the Power Hour. It's still difficult if
not impossible for him to win; he's probably just going to delay the
crossing time to 5:00 or so rather than 3:30. But at least he has some life in him. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

But yeah, star of this division is Tom Nook easily. Marcus doing this
good was pretty much expected, even by Kefka > Fenix pickers, but
noone thought Nook would beat out Zelos, let alone THIS BAD. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

huh. well, the "night vote" usually starts at around 1:30, and Kefka's
definitely doing something here. it's *possible* that the NPH was just
the day vote there, and that they'll be going 50/50 come daytime (or
something close to that). I wouldn't bet on it, but it's certainly a
possibility that Kefka will build a lead and sit on it. now that I've typed this, I expect Fenix to win an update --- "where the heck does diablo get his votes from on weekends? He should be losing because christians are fresh from the church and voting against evil" -voltch |

Yeah, Kefka should be able to build up at least a half-decent lead
overnight. What happens during the morning-3pm time is a mystery to me
though. If I were a betting man, I'd stake it on Kefka/Fenix going
roughly even until the floodgates open at 3. Fenix at least has a lot
more to the more "mature" voters that usually come out during that time
than any KH character would be expected to. TuRtLe ~~~ "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" -trancer1 BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

The NPH usually but not always reflects the day vote trends, as there's
two main exceptions. 1) CT characters do well with the NPH and suck in
the day, and 2) Master Chief did *terrible* with the NPH and generally
rocks during the day. Both point to Kefka getting crushed. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

yeah, I expect Kefka (and FF6) to follow CT's lead there. and all old Square, really. but the thing is - we're guessing what Fenix is like in the daytime. we really have no idea. he's completely new. --- "where the heck does diablo get his votes from on weekends?

Fenix generally improving since the poll started is downright odd,
though. Obviously the board doesn't favour him, but the board vote
really only lasts for the first five minutes. He's acting like a night
character here at the expense of Nook and Zelos, which is completely
counterintuitive. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |
