Holy freak... Vyse, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!? I was so sure Vyse/Tifa was
a fluke... yet it was not. Laharl would beat Vyse by a good amount now.
In fact, Vyse seems even weaker now than what his score on Tifa
indicated... Grrrr..... so much for what little credibility in the
taste of GameFAQs has... well, at least Phoenix Wright is still around
the fodder line. (I said something like that last night, but I had to say it again) --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |

I never understood the whole mindset that Vyse/Tifa was SFF or
something. He faced Cloud the year before. Why would Tifa get
significant SFF when Cloud couldn't? He just dropped off the face of
the earth when the votals went up between 2k4 and 2k5. TuRtLe ~~~ 79/104 in the contest. Next pick: Snake > Nightmare BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

There are a lot of factors going into a match from the characters
themselves to who just shows up on that day, it's the reason why the
x-stats don't work as well as we want them to work. --- The Board 8 BOP - http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB6%20BOP.xls Match 27: Solid Snake > Nightmare Points: 74/104 |

Votal changes, releases and the relation between a character and what's
popular for FAQs (for example, Tifa's and Sora's overperforming last
year was partially attributed to increased traffic from Final Fantasy
12) combined with simple random variation means there's a lot of room
for character to fluctuate. TuRtLe ~~~ 79/104 in the contest. Next pick: Snake > Nightmare BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Match XXVIII: Haseo vs Riku vs Roxas vs Ryu Hayabusa Information Name: Haseo Game/Series From: .Hack Past Contests: None Wins: N/A Losses: N/A Name: Riku Game/Series From: Kingdom Hearts series Past Contests: CB2k5, CB2k6 Wins: None Losses: Frog (2k5), Yoshi (2k6) Name: Roxas Game/Series From: Kingdom Hearts series Past Contests: None Wins: N/A Losses: N/A Name: Ryu Hayabusa Game/Series From: Ninja Gaiden series Past Contests: CB2k4, CB2k5, CB2k6 Wins: Jill Valentine (2k4) Losses: Sora (2k4), Zero (2k5), Dante (2k6) Analysis This is the second match where two characters are from the same game, the first being Bowser/Toad. Both Riku and Ryu were in the same four-pack last year and since Riku did so much better than Ryu this should be a cut clear win for Riku, however with Roxas in the poll this match has become a little more interesting. Riku, like Kratos was until a few matches ago is a strong character without a win. He is unlucky enough to have strong opponents in the first round, but this year could be different. However there is only one thing holding Riku back from taking first with ease, Roxas. They are from the same game and like Bowser/Toad Riku will appear to be weaker than he actually is. I don’t see the two having that much of a separate fanbase and even though Riku will be getting the huge majority between the two any vote Roxas get is highly likely a vote that Riku doesn’t get. Nothing much has happened on Ryu’s side since last year so if he wants a win he has to hope that the fanbase overlap between Riku and Roxas is big enough to let Ryu slip by. Of course even if Ryu fails to get first he automatically gets second, Roxas would be too SFF to get by Ryu and it would take a glitch in the polls where Haseo gets twice the votes and Ryu gets half the votes for Haseo to have a chance. Roxas ultimately controls on who gets first and second in this match. I don’t think he has a chance at getting second because first he is getting SFF and I wouldn’t take him over Ryu if this was one on one, Axel maybe but not Roxas. With Riku in the poll what kind of votes will he get? I’ve only played KHII and outside of the first part of the game I don’t think there is another time where Roxas is featured and more liked than Riku so in my opinion that part of the game is where people would rather vote Roxas over Riku. Haseo is from the .Hack series if you are most of the board and wondering who he is. The last time we had a .Hack character was back in 2k3 where Kite was doubled by Vercetti. Since 2k3 parts 3 and 4 and G.U. volume 1-3 have been released I’m not sure which games Haseo is in but it probably won’t matter. Haseo should have little trouble getting last and is one of the main contenders of getting last overall the only way he fails at getting last is if Riku somehow SFF Roxas so much that he barely gets any votes. Riku and Ryu Hayabusa will finish in the top two with Riku being the favorite at taking first. Like in Bowser/Toad I think the Riku/Roxas SFF will be big enough to let Ryu steal the win or at least make this a much closer match than it should be. charmander6000’s Bracket: Ryu Hayabusa > Riku charmander6000’s Prediction: Ryu Hayabusa - 38.17%, Riku - 37.84%, Roxas - 15.37%, Haseo - 8.62% --- The Board 8 BOP - http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB6%20BOP.xls Match 27: Solid Snake > Nightmare Points: 74/104 |

Division 7: Round 1 - Match 28 – Haseo vs. Riku vs. Roxas vs. Ryu Hayabusa Moltar’s Analysis Haseo Game/Series Known From: .hack\\G.U. Mario, Sonic, Pac-Man….Haseo. Believe Riku Game/Series Known From: Kingdom Hearts Seed in 2005: 4 Seed in 2006: 3 Lost in 2005 to Frog in Round 1 Lost in 2006 to Yoshi in Round 1 KINGDOM HEAARRRRRRTS!!! Roxas Game/Series Known From: Kingdom Hearts KINGDOM HEAARRRRRRTS!!! Ryu H. Game/Series Known From: Ninja Gaiden/Dead or Alive Seed in 2004: 3 Seed in 2005: 6 Seed in 2006: 7 Lost in 2004 to Sora in Round 2 Lost in 2005 to Zero in Round 1 Lost in 2006 to Dante in Round 1 Ninja Gaiden…that game was kinda hard. Division 7 is like the Division of weird fourpacks. Look at what we’ve had so far, and now this. Whoseo, who’s known more for his show that no one watched over his games that no one played. Two Kingdom Hearts characters from the same darn game, and Ryu H., who clashes badly with the rest of them. Still, I wouldn’t throw out this match yet. One big question is where KH fans support goes in this match. I’m guessing a lot of it goes to Riku, and Roxas ends up looking not as strong because of it. However, I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if Roxas does better than expected. I mean, did you play through the awesome, action-packed, wide-open exploring part of KH2? You know, the one at the beginning of the game when you’re playing as this thrilling character with his lively and interesting friends doing fun, exciting jobs, beating up C-list Final Fantasy characters and eating sea-salt ice cream for a mind-blowing 3 HOURS! I can smell the Roxas love from here. And then there is Ryu H. Who’s pretty much your standard midcarder. He should move on to Round 2 since Roxas is going to be too busy fighting off Riku, and then there’s Haseo… How did Haseo get in anyway? I mean, he’s not even as popular as Kite (and if you know who that is, you either know your Contest history or are the biggest .hack fan ever). The only way he’ll cause worry is if somewhere out there, a large underground .hack cult with 100,000+ members is ready to vote for him the second the poll goes up. Well, I’m done with this one. Riku and Ryu H. move on. Moltar’s Bracket Says: Riku > Ryu H. > Roxas > Haseo Moltar’s Prediction is: Riku: 37% - Ryu H.: 35% - Roxas: 23% - Haseo: 5% Ultimaterializer’s Analysis This is the second match in a row that seems pretty obvious. Riku > Ryu Hayabusa is a very consensus pick, because no one knows who in the hell Haseo is (he was the #1 "WHO IS ____?" when the bracket first came out), and Roxas shouldn't have the strength to both avoid SFF from Riku and finish ahead of Ryu H. The only chance for an upset here is Roxas SFFing Riku enough to finish ahead of Ryu, but that's about as likely as Tingle SFFing Luigi a few days back. And pardon my bias; I think Roxas is lamesauce. Ulti's Prediction: Riku [33.00%] Ryu Hayabusa [28.00%] Roxas [25.00%] Haseo [14.00%] Heroic Mario’s Analysis Riku – 34% Ryu Hayabusa – 33% Roxas – 26% Haseo – 7% Ah, this match bothers me. There is no telling who is going to end up advancing out of this one. The odds are in favor of Riku > Hayabusa, but for whatever reason, despite there being another Kingdom Hearts character here, I’m resistant to count out Roxas. Sure, we haven’t seen anything from him before, but I wouldn’t doubt that he’s not too far away from Riku normally. Crazy? Maybe. This guy has got some serious fans, though. |
| Master Moltar | Posted 9/29/2007 8:09:13 PM | message detail |
| Hayabusa does have some things going for him here.
Most notably, Riku should be hurt quite a bit by Roxas’ presence. Under
normal circumstances, I would take Riku to destroy
Hayabusa, but the whole SFF -- or LFF, whatever you want to call it --
should end up making this much closer than it should be. Hayabusa also
has the fact that every other Microsoft character has performed
extremely well in this format. Considering that the bulk of his support
is from the Xbox fanbase, that should spell good things for him. Still, even with all that said, I can’t quite see Riku losing here. Roxas stealing support from Riku isn’t necessarily a guarantee. I’m expecting Roxas to be the strongest KH character outside of Sora and Riku, so he should definitely have enough support to stand make a potential match of this. I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if something unexpected happened like Riku and Roxas moving on. Unlikely as it may be, KH characters aren’t something to underestimate -- they’re getting significantly stronger with each release. oh and what the damn hell is a haseo Bracket: Riku > Hayabusa Vote: Riku Lopen’s Analysis Hase... hasewhat? That guy is 1337 h4x0r!? ... Alright, onto the match. So basically what this match boils down to is Ryu Hayabusa against Riku with Roxas restraining Riku and letting Hayabusa get free hits in. Man, what's up with these Ryus and their dishonorable tactics in this contest? Well at least this Ryu is only going 2v1 instead of 3v1. And you know, he's a Ninja. Sure, he's more the flip out and kill things type of ninja, but you know what ninjas are doing when they aren't flipping out and killing things? They're throwing egg whites in the faces of their enemies to blind them. Probably poisoned egg whites, at that. Eat egg white, Riku. So the question is: Will it be enough? I'm banking on yes. Riku doesn't destroy Ryu Hayabusa 1v1 anyway, and I don't think Roxas is a total joke to be ignored by Riku. Yeah, of course Riku dominates him, but I definitely expect him to take away more than say... Vaan did, for instance. Roxas is likable at least, and you do control him for a few hours at the beginning of KH2 for what it's worth, even if that is a slower part of the game. I'd also like to say Ninja Gaiden Sigma helps Ryu a little... but... haw haw PS3. Not to mention X-BOX FEAR. Maybe this format favors Ryu Hayabusa a bit? Certainly possible, that. (or NINJAFEAR, but that's implied, always. Ninja are an ever present threat, as we all know.) Lopen's prediction: Ryu Hayabusa - 38.55% Riku - 37.05% Roxas - 16.50% 1337 h4x0r - 7.90% Karma Hunter’s Analysis Haseo oh dear oh dear There are very few instances in a bracket where I have NEVER heard of a character. oh dear Riku The fan favorite of the Kingdom Hearts games, Riku hopes to follow in the same footsteps of Kratos in finally winning a match this year. His competition is a bit stiffer though, thanks in large part to... Roxas ...yeah. You wanna talk about a RANGE, you go see Roxas. At worst? He's uber-fodder, will do little but make Riku look better and totally representative of his blank personality and small playability. At best? Uhhh can you say SORA PROXY Ryu Hayabusa The coolest ninja in all of gaming returns, and though he's been on a bit of a losing streak the lower midcarder has a good shot to upend the much stronger Riku here. Because Ninja Gaiden: Sigma ain't gonna help that much... :( I have Riku here. I'm, uh... not quite sure why. Roxas will function as a decent drain here, and looking at that picture I can't help but think the Sora-proxy idea isn't a bad one. Yeah... I'm taking Hayabusa. Riku's strong, but in this format... well, we've seen this happen before. |

Karma Hunter's Vote: Riku... argh am I jinxing myself again?! Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Ryu Hayabusa with 34%, Riku with 30%, Roxas with 25%, Haseo with 11% hey it's sora no i'm roxas hey it's sora no i'm roxas let's all get some sea-salt ice cream Upset Probability: 50% Aside from Riku just powering his way through because he's just THAT STRONG, there's also the 'problem' of Roxas... and we saw Mario/Shadow happen once. Riku should diminish him here, but Roxas is a true wildcard in every sense of the word. Everyone who's played KH2 knows him... Transience’s Analysis WHO IS HASEO this is the one match that I feel completely awful about. having never played KH2, I didn't know that Roxas was a damn Sora clone. go me! I've always gotten the impression that the KH fanbase goes Axel > Roxas, but I think looking like Sora would hurt Riku more than Axel would. I dunno. Riku is a clear step and a half up from Ryu. KH1 Sora beat Hayabusa 62/38 back in '04. I think Riku after KH2 is stronger x-stat-wise than KH1 Sora, too. (though to be fair, he got 'Arabusa' in that match with Sora.) Riku got 45% on Yoshi while Hayabusa got 35% on Dante, and Yoshi/Dante was 50/50. Riku is clearly stronger -- the question is, how much does Roxas leech? I think quite a bit. I'll stick with my bracket, but I feel like Ryu Hayabusa should be the favourite here. Riku and Roxas can Ryu take advantage? WHO IS HASEO transience's prediction: Riku with 36.65%, Ryu Hayabusa with 35.89%, Roxas with 20.77%, Haseo with 6.69% Guest’s Analysis - satai_delenn Well, here goes nothing—my first ever guest analysis! So let's see who we've got here. Contest veterans Ryu Hayabusa and Riku are back for more action, with Riku's buddy Roxas joining us for the first time along with this Raseo dude. Wait, what, the fourth character's name doesn't start with R? Blasphemy! Fine, fine. Haseo. Who is this Haseo fellow, anyway? .hack is a series that doesn't seem to get much attention, and despite this guy's fairly badass looking artwork, he's up against two other PS2 RPG characters from a series that's so much more popular it's kind of obscene. Haseo is the fodder of this match, hardcore. Riku, one of the most liked characters from an extremely popular series, always seems to get the shaft in these contests, with first round opponents such as Frog and Yoshi impeding his progress (goddammit, those two are always the bane of my existence…!). Even so, he still managed to do some serious damage to these two well-seasoned opponents, being beaten by Frog by a mere 2% and breaking 40% on a well-liked Mario series character. With KH2 still fresh in people's minds and mounting hype over the upcoming Kingdom Hearts projects, and Axel nearly beating Frog this year, I don't imagine Riku's strength will be waning—this is the year he not only gets to progress to round 2, but gets to do so easily and with style. |
| Master Moltar | Posted 9/29/2007 8:10:47 PM | message detail |
| And then there's Roxas. Roxas strikes me as being
kind of wild-cardy here. On the one hand, he's a Kingdom Hearts
character, and a fairly popular one at that, being not only the main
character of the first two hours of KH2 (including one of the coolest
boss fights in the game), but also having the distinction of generating
lots of excitement due to his double-Keyblade-wielding badassery in the
secret video leading into KH2. Sure, he disappears from the radar for
most of the rest of the game, but KH fans are obsessive and he doesn't
get forgotten. On the other hand, he ended up with a seriously
debilitating first-round placement, going up against Riku
of all people. This is like…Raiden vs. Snake or something. (Okay, not
quite. But still!) So unfortunately, I don't think we're going to get a
very good look at what Roxas might be able to do here; Riku will SFF
him into oblivion. (Har har, no pun intended. >_>) Lastly, the ninja. Ryu Hayabusa has done fairly well in the past, putting up 34% against Dante and 37% against Zero. Ninja Gaiden is a fairly popular series around here, and the ninja is taking his place in this match as the Xbox representative and the only non-RPG character. I expect him to take home a significant portion of the vote, coming in at a halfway-decently-close second to Riku. Is there an upset chance here? Maybe; Roxas will be eating a few of Riku's votes. But looking at last year, Dante and Yoshi were just about equivalent and Ryu did 10% worse on Dante than Riku did on Yoshi. Add onto this that KH doesn't seem to be giving up its rampant popularity anytime soon, and I really don't see a ninja victory happening here. Satai's vote: Riku Satai's prediction: Haseo – 9.35% Riku – 39.02% Roxas – 17.87% Ryu Hayabusa – 33.76% Crew Consensus: Riku > Ryu H. is the favorite here, but don't count out Ryu > Riku. |

If Agent J avoided a 0 vote update I think Haseo can too. --- The Board 8 BOP - http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB6%20BOP.xls Match 27: Solid Snake > Nightmare Points: 74/104 |

Haseo actually looks pretty badass. Who would've guessed? He'll do a lot better than Agent J. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Haseo is the first option. The Xbox poll showed that the first option gets support. --- http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/2931/ivotededgeworthck7.png |

In every division, I've gotten 3 matches completely right and one
match partially right (except Div 6 but that one doesn't count ever). Well, I'm 3-0 so far in this one, and that means one thing. Riku > Ryu H. not happening confirmed. Same here, except I have Ryu winning. Does that mean they tie? TuRtLe ~~~ 79/104 in the contest. Next pick: Snake > Nightmare BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |
