Also while I think discussing a generic enemy contest is fun, an actual
contest consisting of only them would be horrible and everyone would
hate it :( They're better as normal entries. i.e., replace un-fun useless fodder (insert Tales character here) with a fun generic who could show some strength. Though a mini-bracket (no actual contest entries needed) with only, say, 16 entries could work. That would never happen though. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Zergling over a Metroid, Goomba or Koopa Troopa? You can't be serious. I'm confident a zergling could take out Kerrigan. I mean, EVERYONE who has Starcraft knows what the zergling rush is. It may not be as iconic as a koopa troopa, but wait till those Koreans wake up and BAM! Vote rush to the tune of tens of thousands! --- If you fail at life you try suicide.

Oh God, I just realized how fertile Earthbound is with awesome generic enemies. Obviously Starman would be the figurehead, but come on, who could resist nominating New Age Retro Hippie or Ramblin' Evil Mushroom?

How do you determine what Scorpion would get on Midna in a one-on-one
match based on this contest's results? I've seen comparisons like these

How do you determine what Scorpion would get on Midna in a one-on-one match based on this contest's results? ...you don't, really. The best you can say is that Midna would get at least 24.71% on Scorpion and that Scorpion would get at least 36.64% on Midna. (wow, it was that bad for Midna? thank goodness for Balthier, or she'd have never lived it down) When people make one-on-one 'comparisons' like that, they're usually taking the individual votals of the characters in the match and comparing them to each other directly, IIRC. So it ends up with Scorpion getting 59.23% on Midna with that method. Of course, the inaccuracies of such a comparison are staggering... --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package. |

as you can with "Zombie," you could resort to calling them "T-Virus

one-on-one match based on this contest's results? I've seen comparisons
like these thrown around. You use King Morgoth's somewhat complicated, but viable, conditional probability formula to find their x-stat values. Then compare as normal. Obviously, any match with suspected SFF wouldn't give accurate results. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

What is "snurk"? Some sort of mutant Smurf/Snork hybrid? Oh, if you wanted to avoid as much extra baggage as you can with "Zombie," you could resort to calling them "T-Virus Infectees" or something. I mean, they're not zombies in the classic sense. That's a pretty big difference there..."Zombie" could have noteworthy strength, "T-Virus infectee" would be ungodly weak. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Round 1- Division 6 Group A Characters Involved: Kirby Summer 2002 Contest Southern Division - 14 Seed Southern Round 1 --- Lost to (3) Jill Valentine, 32837 [46.66%] - 37539 [53.34%] Extrapolated Strength --- 17th Place [25.54%] Summer 2003 Contest Southern Division - 3 Seed Southern Round 1 --- Defeated (14) Ramza Beoulve, 57862 [57.66%] - 42482 [42.34%] Southern Quarterfinal --- Lost to (6) Alucard, 48818 [47.79%] - 53328 [52.21%] Extrapolated Strength --- 25th Place [25.49%] Summer 2004 Contest Midgar Division - 5 Seed Midgar Round 1 --- Defeated (12) Kain, 52012 [64.65%] - 28436 [35.35%] Midgar Quarterfinal --- Lost to (4) Squall, 42084 [44.99%] - 51462 [55.01%] Extrapolated Strength --- 22nd Place [26.61%] Summer 2005 Contest Dream Division - 1 Seed Dream Round 1 --- Defeated (8) Cecil, 67556 [75.21%] - 22267 [24.79%] Dream Semifinal --- Defeated (4) Tidus, 58825 [57.65%] - 43215 [42.35%] Dream Final --- Lost to (3) Bowser, 39857 [47.88%] - 43392 [52.12%] Extrapolated Strength --- 13th Place [32.06%] Summer 2006 Contest Blast Division - 3 Seed Blast Round 1 --- Defeated (6) Prince of Persia, 75274 [61.70%] - 46729 [38.30%] Blast Semifinal --- Lost to (2) Luigi, 50890 [47.69%] - 55812 [52.31%] Extrapolated Strength --- 23rd Place [32.06%] Kirby's always been a force in the contest, but his real shining year in 2005, where he got a 1-seed and managed to go toe to toe with Bowser after dominating his half of the division. Last year he seems to have disappointed against Luigi, but that was the same Luigi that beat Zero, apparantly a Luigi that was on the high-seed roids that Kirby experienced the previous year. Nonetheless, Kirby is looking to dominate this fourpack. L-Block Easily the best joke entrant this year, made even better by the fact that it has a chance to advance here. Laharl Summer 2004 Contest Midgar Division - 9 Seed Midgar Round 1 --- Lost to (8) Vyse, 27360 [39.77%] - 41440 [60.23%] Extrapolated Strength --- 52nd Place [14.25%] Summer 2005 Contest 20XX Division - 6 Seed 20XX Round 1 --- Lost to (3) Yoshi, 25949 [26.34%] - 72563 [73.66%] Extrapolated Strength --- 62nd Place [14.01%] Another one of those "why do people keep nominating you?" characters, Laharl is mid-high fodder and hopes that the L-block bombs in order to advance. Yeah, he's that crappy. Nathan Hale Star of the PS3 exclusive Resistance: Fall of Man, Nathan hopes to set a new record for suckitude here. Predictions: Another fodderific fourpack with a strong character at the helm, Kirby gets to flex his muscles before being tested against Kratos of God of War fame next round. Once again the real debate lies in second place. We can basically rule out Nathan Hale because lol ps3. Which leaves us with Laharl and the L-block. Laharl may look really weak in the 2k5 stats, but you have to remember that he was behind that Mega Man/Yoshi anomaly, so he has a decent shot here, especially given how Sailor Bacon managed to screw up the picture of a freaking Tetris block. L-block needs some joke votes to advance here, especially since Laharl will be pulling on his cult status to favour him (though admittedly, cult characters have been extremely disappointing so far this year). I still think the L-Block pulls it off. TuRtLe's Prediction: Kirby 48%, L-block 22%, Laharl 20%, Nathan 10% TuRtLe's Bracket: Kirby > L-block TuRtLe's Vote: L-block TuRtLe ~~~ 67/92 in the contest. Next pick: Leon > Vivi BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Anyone think L-Block will have a the same voting style as Tetris? I
don't think Laharl moves too much during the night/day so we're going
to have to hope Kirby sucks up all the after school votes. --- The Board 8 BOP - http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB6%20BOP.xls Match 24: Leon Kennedy > Vivi Points: 66/92 |

I remember my reaction to Laharl after he was announced in the 2004 bracket. "Nobody can spell Laharl's name.
