Crash is impressing? In what way?

Current Points: 36
Maximum Possible Points: 760/768

Could damage... the percentages of the match? Because Lara's already the favorite in round 1 and has no chance in round 2, and likewise Vercetti doesn't have a chance in round 1. Although seeing Yuna > Vercetti when some people have MC in the finals would probably the funniest thing ever.

Sora > Daxter? Pretty likely.

Ganondorf > Ratchet? Unlikely.

And Lara's chances in Round 2 are exceptionally slim, but it's not a lock. When there's one character with her own boosted fanbase against three with considerable overlap, then...*shrug* I most definitely have Squall and Aeris but I'm not counting out Lara.

The only way I foresee Lara impressing me is if she fails to get out of the first round. She'll be the only non-Square character in Round Two, but she's still PS-material and she's still not loved by many. She'll have a really hard time impressing anybody.

If Revelations did as little for her as it did last year and did as bad as it did in the GotY polls, I don't think TRA will save her. Maybe, but I'm not betting on it.

Yeah, also that. If you don't like Square, where do your votes go? Lara.

I mean I for one know I'd be voting Lara in that match even without Tomb Raider.

After how MC jobbed last year, it doesn't really make sense how people aren't giving Tommy a chance against him. I mean he has beaten DK and held up against Zero. Not the favorite for sure, but he's no slouch.
All this about a Halo "dedicated fanbase" seems like trash to me. Yuna'll win, it's up to chief to take down Tommy for 2nd IMO.

Akuma is by far the best "casual" upset. you can pretty much write Lara off there. at least Akuma has a higher ceiling at the moment since he's an unknown.

She'll be the only non-Square character in Round Two, but she's still PS-material and she's still not loved by many.

Legend was released for about 10 different systems, and Anniversary has so far been released for PSP, PS2 and PC. I don't have the exact dates, but the release for 360 (Some time in October) should be right about the same period as her second match.

XIII_rocks | Posted 9/14/2007 9:26:02 AM | message detail
The whole FF7/FF8 thing was a mistake >_> I meant that usually when those two meet, FF7 performs the better. Now I know that's virtually impossible in this case, which is why I deleted it.

And of course, no forgetting that Aeris once doubled Sora.

If Revelations did as little for her as it did last year and did as bad as it did in the GotY polls, I don't think TRA will save her. Maybe, but I'm not betting on it.

Revelations...? What the hell? That came out in, like, 1999. >_>

I don't remember its sub-title anymore, but it was the one lots of us talked about last year.


After how MC jobbed last year, it doesn't really make sense how people aren't giving Tommy a chance against him.

Considering MC did ~10% better against Crono than TV in 2k5 and Halo 3 is closer and closer to release, not to mention how well MC and Halo do in seeding and the Top 100 List...it makes lots of sense for this format.

It's definitely not her true value (Samus' overperformance was gross) but I don't think it was /that/ far off.

2006 x-stats was measured against Samus while 2004 x-stats was measured against Link, isn't it?

BTW, i can hardly trust the x-stats of the female division in 2006.

Lara through an overrated-by-Bowser 05 Chun Li gives 22.16. I'd say her 06 value is around 20 or 21 range.

Better? I don't see what there's not to trust about with Lara's performance in the last contest, Chun-Li is a good opponent for measuring strength.

Samus is also way overrated in those X-stats. Lara at 26.77 on Samus should be more like 21 or 22 on BL, then throw in Zelda overrated to put her in the 20 or 21 range.

In his last showing he got 30% against Master Chief .
He's now pulling over 20% against 3 of them. One of them Magus, a character supposedly stronger than Chief.
