After this performance, I wouldn't place Midna anywhere near the top 5
losers list. I doubt Scorpion is that far away from Subby if at all. --- Demyx is better than Axel. |

Yeah, I decided not to do a ranking just because it's still hard to place exactly who did better than who here. --- http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png Squall > Sora is a lock. ~Lady Ashe |

argh what the hell do you mean "even with" that picture sucked ass Well I agree, but before the match, I saw people saying "Oh, he's kickass in that MGS4 trailer, surely that look will benefit him!" --- http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png Squall > Sora is a lock. ~Lady Ashe |

well, I had high hopes for Midna. and she wasn't even close. there's more winners than losers, really. Ryu and Mudkip also deserve a mention. --- xyzzy "And just to clear up any remaining confusion, tranny > icon." -Shaggy |

I gave Mudkip a mention, and felt like Ryu's performance was created
mostly by Bowser leeching. I would expect most of Toad's 10% to go to
Bowser if he was removed, and probably most of Mewtwo's votes as well. --- http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png Squall > Sora is a lock. ~Lady Ashe |

it's tough to give Scorpion and Sub some love in this format and not
Ryu.. especially when he looked as good as anyone. if I combined them,
fighting game characters would be my #1. --- xyzzy "And just to clear up any remaining confusion, tranny > icon." -Shaggy |

This is a bit different - the groups of characters I'd call winners and losers: Winners: 1. Xobox 2. Pokémon 3. Fighting games 4. METAL GEAR?! 5. RE4 Losers: 1. Women 2. Sonic 3. Pre-FFVII Square 4.

Aww, no non-character/other winner and loser of the round? Slow used to have them. Can't think of any though..I guess winners would be those who, despite getting multiple matches wrong, still stay on the leaderboard, and perhaps MGS and Pokemon fans. Losers?

What? It's hard to explain, but Slow would always have an extra winner/loser of the round (that wasn't a contest character). Like if vote totals were high, he'd put "Voters" as one of the winners of the round, or if bracket scores were low, he'd put "bracketmakers" with the losers.

I'm being conservative here. There's no way to tell how Chief would do
if this wasn't a 4-way bracket, and he should come back down to earth
by the next time we have another character battle. And I've already stated how Luigi was borked last year. And Sora is looking to be completely different from the Sora we saw get 46% on Mega Man.

Here's my opinion of it all. Pretty much in order, including the honorable mentions. WINNERS: 1)L-Block - Nobody expected him to be a threat in the later rounds, but this...thing just might be. And this was with a 3D picture... a more generic 2D picture might be even stronger. 2)Sub-Zero - Judging by how close he is to Sonic.. wait, wasn't MC supposed to be leagues above Subby in this format? 3)Master Chief- First, you lose to Sub-Zero. Then, you get 46% in poll with Yuna. I was expecting MC to get 46% on Yuna alone pre-contest. Astonishing. 4)Ryu Hayabusa - what everyone else said. 5)Mudkip - a random Pokemon... above the fodder line by a good amount. Whoa. And it's far more than just 4Chan and fads, I get the feeling. Luigi didn't even come close to doubling Mudkipz. H)Pikachu - go from being more than doubled by Fox, and now beating Tidus? Amazing how far Pokemon has gone... H)Fox McCloud - I was more impressed with Fox's SFFing ability than anything, but considering Fox equaled Luigi in seemingly stronger competition... Fox could be dang close to Luigi in popularity. H)Big Boss - 23% with Mario in the poll... just a huge jump from his original match with Auron. H)Scorpion... killed Midna, who's also above Kratos Aurion. And even Lloyd didn't do too shabby, verifying Kratos isn't too much of a chump. H)Pyramid Head... Shadow could barely 1.5x your votes and you were supposed to be the lowest of fodder. Not bad. H)Arthas Menethil... not great percentage-wise, but you beat Diablo! Diablo was supposed to be the clear-cut top Blizzard character and all. H)Meta Knight... supposedly MK being anywhere near Ness was crazy-talk. Someone thought he'd be at 12% on BL. He shut everyone up. H)Phoenix Wright... out of all the matches in Round 1, my jaw didn't drop like on this day when I first saw the results. Phoenix... almost leading Magus 40 minutes in?! He proceeded to...well, at least beat Bomberman. LOSERS: 1)Balthier Bunansa - You lose to someone who's supposed to be fodder, and you're the top dude from FF12. Talk about fail. 2)Magus - Sorry, but 31% against a bunch of chumps? My, how you've fallen from grace. 3)Riku - You were supposed to beat Hayabusa with 60%. You add Roxas' score to you and you still can't even BEAT Hayabusa. 4)Zelos Wilder - Okay, even Mithos does decent, but Tom Nook of all characters manhandles you! 5)Gordon Freeman... Wait, weren't you supposed to excel in this format? Well, it turns out people still don't care about you. H)Vyse - 10% and get doubled by Nightmare... you were once kinda respected... H)Daxter - You get tripled by Wesker and Lara Croft. Considering your reconizability, simply horrendous. H)Tingle - Ha. You get 25% on Sora, yet your true fanbase is revealed once you get involved with other Nintendo characters. H)Jade Curtiss - 8% in a pack of fodder. If it wasn't for Zelos doing so poorly, nobody would've expected you to do so awful. You were supposed to be above Haseo! H)Miles Edgeworth - after a decent performance by PW, you'd hope the fan-favorite of the series could do something, like be a threat to Bidoof. Not so. H)CATS... so much for CATS voters being dilligent. It looks like CATS voters are actually quite casual. H)Matt (Wii Sports)... I feel bad for this guy. Couldn't even garner joke votes well. H)Simon Belmont... completely killed. It seems Castlevania characters aside from Alucard are nothing these days. H)Knuckles the Echidna... agh, you were supposed to be close to Yoshi, weren't you? Did you drop or does the format hate you? --- "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." |

You consider Geno a low midcarder, but think Squall loses to guys like
Bowser, Auronm Zeldam Yoshi and Dante, despite him going even with
Vincent in 2k5, and winding up equal to Vincent in the 2k6 stats? Actually, just thinking about it, a "dream" match for our next real character battle would be Ganondorf/Squall. That would be quite the slobberknocker. TuRtLe ~~~ 101/128 in the contest. Next pick: Mega Man > Knuckles BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Turtle you always make me laugh so much. You like Zero so much that you try and place him over people he clearly has no chance against. I am the biggest Tidus fanboy on this planet but I had him losing to Pikachu. Why? Becuase Everyone hates Tidus, FFX has been dropping in popularity and Pokemon has seen a huge surge with the new anime and the most popular game for the past months. As of now, I would really consider putting Sub Zero or Scorpion over Zero, or at the least, making it VERY VERY close. Also, Master Chief that low? What more does he have to prove to you? Did you see that day vote? Sora that low is just lol --- FuturamandFFX/TheRealoSix AndyManCan's favorite user |

It's hard to explain, but Slow would always have an extra

vote totals were high, he'd put "Voters" as one of the winners of the
round, or if bracket scores were low, he'd put "bracketmakers" with the
losers. I see...something to add for Round 2! --- http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png Squall > Sora is a lock. ~Lady Ashe |

1. Yeah, Sora was a silly mistake. He should be higher. 2. Mewtwo is overrated due to the SFF bombardment Bowser was receiving. Take away Ryu and Toad, Mewtwo wouldn't move that much. Bowser would. 3. Squall was overrated that year. rSFF, BT, rSFF. --- Ask Heroic Mario about your bracket. I am a ToS fanboy and I love Kratos/Lloyd yaoi |

I wouldn't take Scorpion over Zero 1-on-1. In a four-way poll... maybe.
I'd say Scorpion's 37% against his competition is slightly better than
Zero's 40% against his own competition (I'll take Kratos Aurion over
Lloyd by a decent amount still). The Jill/Kirby expected result swung
13% in three years. Plus, things change in this new format. I would
consider Sub-Zero over Zero in a traditional match, though that
should've been considered even last year. --- "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 don't know why you wouldn't consider Sub-Zero over Zero. is 46% on Luigi all that much better than 40% on Auron with IT'S THE SUPER SHREDDER~~!?
this isn't *all* format here. Sub-Zero is legitimate. he looks like
he'd definitely beat Zero in this format, so you have to at *least*
consider him vs. Zero, who hasn't looked all that great in the past few
years. --- xyzzy "And just to clear up any remaining confusion, tranny > icon." -Shaggy |
