Luigi > Pit
Ganondorf > Vergil
Yuna > Master Chief
Liquid Snake > Alucard

That's fedor's bracket for next round

Think it's safe to say he won't be on the leaderboard for long !!

So I should be making my 3rd appearance on the leaderboard tonight.

I have Tingle tomorrow though :( It'd be nice to stay on the board for than 1 day at a time.

1. Halo 3 will NOT be out so we're talking about Donkey Kong-level MC
2. Vercetti WILL take away some casual voters

Wha? Mudkip has a huge advantage there.

And after Zelda's poor performance against Vincent, I don't know how you can be confident in Yuna > MC...

Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need.
Draco1214 | Posted 9/18/2007 4:29:49 PM | message detail
Pit isn't winning. Bidoof's 16% on Link was fearsome. Now imagine what Mudkip will get with the full power of 4chan (not that Mudkip needs it to win anyway).

You're underestimating the differences in format. Fenix/Frog/DK/Subby all benefitted from MC anti voting. Now the anti votes ill get diffused among 3 different characters. And the hype for Halo 3 is so ridiculous that the game may as well be out.

The only problem with Yuna > MC is:

-Zelda bombing points to Yuna overperforming massively last year
-Despite Halo 3 not being out for that match, it's less than a week away. Hype is at an all-time high
- Marcus Fenix, Agent 47 and Sam Fisher all impressed this year, pointing to a casual shift, or casual characters benefitting strongly in this format.

And looking at that picture, if there was any doubt in Mudkip after Bidoof, it should be erased now.

Who's going to challenge him? Pit? Tingle?

About time I get a debate match right. The last one I got was.... Ryu > Bowser

Agree with this. You just can't escape at this point.

And that's what's supposed to challenge Vincent and Crono?

What's supposed to challenge them together, as they SFF each other!

...I kind of don't think it will though

Meh, it still won't be as big as if the game were just released
- Marcus Fenix, Agent 47 and Sam Fisher all impressed this year, pointing to a casual shift, or casual characters benefitting strongly in this format.



Right back at you. Rikku, sAuron and Vincent have all kicked ass. FF characters seem to benefit in this format.

I have MC > Yuna, but I'm still nervous about that match because MC always finds some way to disappoint me. He lost to Aeris, narrowly lost to Frog, his game lost to Starcraft in the first round, he lost to Sub-Zero last year, and I'm always on the losing end. He better not disappoint this year.

The board this year seems to be overrating Smash to no end. Marth Ike and Pit all have big support despite not having any reason for that support.

Ironically, Meta-Knight had very little support.

Put Meta-Knight in a match without a Mario character and he becomes a bracket favorite.

Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest.
This line reserved for next Guru winner. Unless it's me, therefore reserving plenty of noms for Dixie/DKC2.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=841

The poll is old so take it with a grain of salt, but according to this, Rikku is the site's second favorite FFX character. Contrast that to Yuna, who got owned by Lulu.

Why does Yuna's place on the FFX totem pole matter? She's not facing FF characters of any sort in that match, and she's already proven she's fairly strong.
Draco1214 | Posted 9/18/2007 5:00:08 PM | message detail
It matters because she might not have all that dedicated a fanbase and she's up against Mr. Xbox with no antivotes anchoring him.

Once again, Yuna's only legit match last year seems to be the one against Zelda, which was also Zelda's only legit match.

Yuna overperformed due to her 1-seed, or do you not remember everyone being surprised at her beating Joanna worse than Mario did?
