I voted for Ada because she kicks ass and deserves every bit of this.
Come on, guys. Your brackets are probably dying anyway, AND SHE HAS
SUCH A FIRM ASS. GOD YOU COULD CRACK WALNUTS --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

These results really are surprising to me. I figured Jade would flop (most non-badass looking character ever, freakin' Pikachu looks more badass), though this is horrific. I thought Frank might do decent (though he still might come close to my expectations, he probably stinks with the early vote). I figured there was a chance Balthier could finish under Ada, but I thought that would be if Frank did well, Balthier couldn't get 30% and Ada just just about 30%. I never foresaw Ada Wong doing *this* well. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

This really demonstrates how far Square has fallen. I thought Balthier was overhyped, but I still never dreamed he'd lose to Ada, who only got 20% on Samus. --- R.I.P. Robert Jordan, 1948-2007 |

This is just hilarious...if I get this right, I actually have a shot of making the leaderboard...again... I need to enjoy this now, cause I have no *****ing clue what I was thinking when predicting the rest of this division... seriously... Ada > Balthier now, but then Dante > Balthier next round?! Tidus and Vivi BOTH advancing over Leon? Balthier going to ROUND 3?!!! *Drops down and cries* I must have been DRUNK when making that part!!!! --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl.

FF9 > FF12? quite possible here. Zidane is way above Ada in the
stats.. not that I trust Ada's position in them at all, but eh. --- xyzzy http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

Nope. This is just Ada being decent. I mean, I thought she was underrated in the stats, but...not this much. --- The apples were too strong for him.- Abomstar |
| Karma Hunter | Posted 9/23/2007 9:10:17 PM | message detail |
| ...no, people had Balthier in the mid-30s because
they expected Frank West to do something decent considering how other
Xbox characters performed. Instead, he'd arguably be bombing worse than
Balthier if he had any pre-contest expectations to speak of. When you're losing this badly to ADA WONG, something's wrong. Even if Samus overperformed - doubtful - this is still a horrid performance. ...and considering the brackets, I think it can get significantly worse. --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package. |

uhh.. this looks over. honestly, I don't think Ada has a good chance of making round 3... and I sure as hell hope not with Leon there. I think she suffers badly when someone 'known' is in her pack -- this pack is a whole lot of 'who?'. when Dante's in there, Ada's really going to suffer. that's why she got ROCKED by Samus. --- xyzzy http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |

Jeez! Everyone in this fourpack is fodder. Midna should be thanking Balthier right about now. No one's gonna remember her after this performance. I'm not sure I would have taken Vaan to lose to Ada prior to this. --- "Look out-- It's Liquids and Gases!" |

Nothing. I expected Marcus to be strong as well. Its the more fact that

are people jumping on the Leon > Dante wagon yet? I hope so! too bad Leon/Dante/Ada/Vivi (Tidus?) looks likely at the moment.. Dante > Vivi looks possible there, though I wouldn't bet on it. Leon should be able to SFF Ada into the ground, but will it be enough to beat Dante? I had Leon over Dante with confidence, but Ada being there scares the hell out of me.. it's like that Rikku match all over again. --- xyzzy http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png |
