As much as I hate to admit it, given what we've seen the last 2 years,
Sub-Zero and not-sub Zero might be close. I still have faith that last
year was a major fluke on Luigi's part, and Zero is stilll at Danta's
level. TuRtLe ~~~ 101/128 in the contest. Next pick: Mega Man > Knuckles BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Clinkeroth: Link Cloud Sephiroth Noble: Mario Snake Samus Crono Sonic Mega Man Not really sure where to put Samus here.....no solid numbers for her since her loss to Cloud in 2004. I think Snake is stronger than Mario indirectly, but he loses in direct matches to Mario and Samus and Mario doesn't lose directly to anyone in this tier (except an outside chance for Crono), so I put Mario higher. Not sure if Crono beats Sonic in a rematch, but I think he's stronger indirectly......and has a chance of beating Mario. He got 57.5% on Bowser last year, and Mario has never been all that far ahead of Bowser. The 2003 proportion had Mario getting 59.44% or so on Bowser; mutual matches against Snake had Mario getting 57.71% on Bowser, and the 2005 Sephiroth proportion has Mario getting 53.96% on Bowser. Obviously the last proportion there is inaccurate, but Mario doesn't beat Crono that badly last year....probably gets in the 52% range on Crono. Yes, lower than in 2005. Also not entirely sure if Sonic beats MM in a rematch....today's match has me thinking MM might be able to win again, and their performances on Snake last year were very close.....At the time, Snake/Sonic seemed to me to be a Snake overperformance, but after today's match, and MC/Auron/Leon impressing, it could be Crono/Sonic where Sonic overperformed. In contrast to Crono's division, Zero, Luigi, and Kirby have not been acting like they were underrated. Near-Elite: Squall Vincent Auron Ganondorf Tifa Bowser Zelda Sora Magus Squall > Vincent? Well, their last match was very close, and Squall's had KH2 since, while Vincent has had DoC and AC. Either character could be ahead right now. And if Snake SFF'd Squall at all.....that pushes Squall awfully close to Sonic/MM. Upper Midcarder: Leon Fox Yoshi Knuckles Dante Luigi Ryu Master Chief Aeris Sub-Zero Kirby Zero Yuna Ryu Hayabusa Mewtwo --- Character Battle VI -- Points: 87/124 -- T-827 (180 way) Bracket: Sonic > Sub-Zero -- Vote: Sonic |

No. 1. Magus? Unless you think Phoenix is awesomely strong or something, hell no. 2. No way is Auron stronger than Ganon. Same goes for Squall. 3. The noble rankings are totally messed up... You say Sanke's indirectly stronger than Mario, yet you put him below. This means that you think that Snake could take MP3 boosted Samus? Not a chance. --- Ask Heroic Mario about your bracket.

While this might seem outrageous, I feel that in this format, Snake>Sephiroth. Metal Gear so far has shined. Add in the fact that Snake is now in Brawl, giving him a slight Nintendo vote, the fact that he has his own fanbase outside of Nintendo, and the fact that everyone that he will be matched up with later on will suffer from some form of SFF, Snake looks to place 3rd this year. --- FuturamandFFX/TheRealoSix AndyManCan's favorite user |

2. No way is Auron stronger than Ganon. Same goes for Squall. Auron, Squall, and Vincent could be argued stronger than Ganon. Especially since Ganon has shown a weakness towards FF characters (lol TIDUS) --- Feel my truth. |

2. No way is Auron stronger than Ganon. Same goes for Squall. Once again, did you not see Vincent/Squall 2k5 and the x-stats for 2k6? Squall is closer to Vincent than Ganondorf is, unless Ganon has boosted significantly. I'd love to see a match between Squall and Ganondorf. TuRtLe ~~~ 101/128 in the contest.

I think Brawl has that big of a push. Also, I said In This Format One on One Sephiroth wins, but this format, I feel like Snake gets SFF less than almost anyone else, but also gets the slight Brawl boost, which also gives him a slight/minimal Nintendo vote. --- FuturamandFFX/TheRealoSix AndyManCan's favorite user |

I think Brawl has that big of a push. Also, I said In This Format But Snake had both of these things in his favor last year, and that was against a handicapped Sephiroth. I really wouldn't think much has changed for Snake over the past year that would make him stronger due to Brawl; this format is practically a repeat of last year's Battle Royale, too. Not that it matters since the two of them don't face, and Snake's path is about as cut and dry as it gets, but even then, I don't see Snake having Sephiroth-esque strength even this format. There hasn't been much to show he's at that level yet. --- let's mosey |

1. Magus? Unless you think Phoenix is awesomely strong or something, hell no. Yeah, Magus does seem really out of place there. But, I don't see him being worth much below 40% or so on Crono indirectly (what the 2005 stats suggest), which should put him above Leon. I'm not taking much from the Phoenix match......Bomberman isn't exactly weak (at least if you believe 2k4 Squall is very close to Sonic anyway), and Phoenix is the type of character who should really benefit from this format. That and he's probably boosted a lot since last year due to his sales doubling or something like that. And Magus's defeat of Ganondorf in 2003 indicates that as overrated as he may have been, he did have a decent amount of strength at one point, and I don't think he's fallen completely off the map as Crono hasn't. 2. No way is Auron stronger than Ganon. Same goes for Squall. Auron last year did 7% better than Ganon did against Alucard in 2004, and got nearly 60% on Sub-Zero, who today is getting over 45% of the Sonic/Sub-Zero votes. Squall, of course, did better than Ganon against Vincent, and not too much worse than MM/Sonic against Snake, despite possible SFF. I'm not saying that those show clearly that Squall/Auron > Ganon, but neither does Ganon > Auron 2005 show that Ganon > Auron is still the case. KH2 boost. 3. The noble rankings are totally messed up... You say Sanke's indirectly stronger than Mario, yet you put him below. This means that you think that Snake could take MP3 boosted Samus? Not a chance. I said Samus beats Snake directly. But she loses to Mario, and I am uncertain of her strength against Crono/Sonic/MM, although she'd have to be the favorite against all of them. Snake beat Sonic and MM with no trouble, and I doubt he'd have too much difficulty with Crono. Samus was easily stronger than Mario indirectly in 2003/4, but she hasn't had a match that reveals much about her strength since losing to Cloud in 2004. --- Character Battle VI -- Points: 87/124 -- T-827 (180 way) Bracket: Sonic > Sub-Zero -- Vote: Sonic |

Err, Tidus has been dropping, sure, but not so much FF10. Uh, not so sure about that. Yuna and Rikku boosted from X-2 and Auron boosted from KH2. Without that, I think FFX would be looking pretty bad...and I'd count on it to be weaker in a games contest than it was in 2k4. --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration.

So has anyone even remotely considered Mega Man > KOS-MOS? Sure,
it's pretty extraordinarily unlikely, but I don't think it would
necessarily be the strangest thing this contest. I mean, with Sonic characters bombing, and MM/Yoshi SFF, it would seem to be in the realm of possibility. Too bad KOS-MOS isn't like 2.5x stronger and too bad pretty much every other semi-obscure RPG character has bombed in this contest so far and KOS-MOS is probably overrated as is because of Blizzard SFF. Oh well, I thought it was worth considering. --- "Even beasts know when to give up." ~Raphael Sorel |
