disappointed last year, but not to the extent that Squall would SFF her

sonic has more to do with the fact that sonic sucks in this format,

If Yuna doesn't advance next round I'm so screwed. I have her going to round 4. I'm having a feeling she will, but behind MC. I don't know how Liquid Snake or Alucard would fare, personally I'm more worried about Liquid Snake pulling another upset. Yuna will be lucky to make it to Round 4, if MC's strength holds. --- Today's Subliminal Thought Is: |

I think it's a shame 4chan had to pull their BS, it seems Mudkip would
legitimately score in the lower twenties and that would look fine. I
don't even want to guess what "joke" voters do but it will be
interesting to see who the Pokemon voters back next round. Tomorrow
Yuna has to prove to me she can put some decent distance between her
and Liquid/Alucard before I'd say she can capitalize on the Nintendo
split. --- Should I start running now? |

Ganondorf has NO CHANCE against Master Chief. I expect MC to drop another 45-47% this round. I believe he is going to get boosted even more AFTER Halo 3 comes out. Either I am going to be terribly inaccurate and someone will quote this post and make fun of me, or my MC to the Finals bandwagon will get another passanger. --- FuturamandFFX/TheRealoSix AndyManCan's favorite user |

I'm setting up a "double elimination" 32 character bracket as a proposal for next year. I took out Link Cloud Seph Mario. If you are unfamiliar with the way a double elimination bracket is setup, google has good results, and I'll post an example of a filled bracket. Just for example, the bracket I've currently worked out has the following potential matchups in it, but I'd like to get some better round 1 loser matches: Sonic Ryu Bowser Squall Sonic Squall MC Ganondorf Megaman Ganondorf Sonic Squall Sonic Megaman (again) Zelda Vincent Snake Vincent Auron Crono Snake Samus Sonic Samus Zero Auron Zero Vivi Tifa Zelda Ganondorf Squall Squall Snake Ryu Luigi MC Dante Subzero Frog MC Subzero Crono Ryu Vincent MC Crono Vincent Megaman Vincent Snake Megaman And then in terms of the first rounds / first round losers bracket, these are some of the more "fodder" matches that show up after ranks 17-32 lose at first RD 1 matches.. Vivi subzero Leon Tifa Zelda Sora Yoshi Vincent Dante Zero RD1 losers Mewtwo Fox Yuna Kirby DK Vivi Kratos Alucard Luigi Tifa Sora Yoshi Yuna Dante Frog Marcus.. As you can see, a double elimination format with only 32 strong characters gives a *lot* of possibilities, as we see a ton of noble 9 matches as well as midcard matchups, and each of the top tier non noble 9 get TWO shots at the noble 9, or atleast shots against eachother. I really hope we can push for this format next year, with maybe a ceiling on a few characters per series to get away from SFF. The thing is, a good bracket is inevitable, because if you seed 18 45 36 and 27, you inevitably get a 8 vs 4/5, 6vs 7, 4/5 vs 6/7 matchup that we usually die to see but instead they all just lose. If you'd like to view the bracket I created, here are two images. I find it best to print them... or on paper or something, because of all the "loser goes to xxxx" directions. http://www.geocities.com/mmrankins/winnersbracket.JPG http://www.geocities.com/mmrankins/losersbracket.JPG Once I revise it a bit I'll make a topic. Anyway, a bit early, but keep this in mind next year, it'd really be great to have this. Predicting would be pretty tough, errors would really be magnified, but still.. Cool stuff. |

| But in the final, you would have the winner
bracket rep who needs only one win, and the loser bracket rep that
needs two wins. The idea of the loser bracket winning the first match,
then the winner bracket taking the second is almost impossible unless
it's a barnburner all the way through. --- Jesus never had co-op adventure mode. Brawl is a little bit better. ~McMoogle Squall > Sora is a lock. ~Lady Ashe |

Whoa. Nice to see Ganon and Luigi back ahead of Mudkip. --- let's mosey |

Yeah, double elim is a really cool idea for a tourney. I wasn't sold on
it until talking it over with octo and then printing and predicting the
bracket, but yeah, so many fantastic matchups. The only trouble is those repeat matches... I think what I'd do would be to have the loser's bracket fully separated. So then Samus knocks out Snake, and Samus could go on to win the main and Snake the secondary, but that would be it. (If there was something after the main bracket, another Battle Royale or Gauntlet or something, you could send both Snake and Samus into it like last year). And then beyond that I'd put a 'tiebreaker' rule into effect whereby any time you get matched up against someone you already beat, you automatically advance. Hopefully that wouldn't happen at all, but the way my bracket went Snake was forced to defeat Vincent twice, which was kind of silly. --- The 2007 Guru Rankings! thengamer.com/guru thengamer.com/xstats = lol x-stats |

Double elimination has possibilities for repeat matches - but really
not many at all barring HUGE holes in logic. However I believe there
must be a rematch somewhere.. or atleast the losers side has to win
twice in the finals. Either way, the whole idea I was going off of was half the characters with same # of matches = twice as many good matches. It'd be as if we ran 2 32 character battles back to back, so toss out the entire first round of 80% crap matches, and replace it with a lot of awesomeness. |

Hrm... maybe there Jak/Zero LFF last round. Yes, that's it. That's why
Jak lost to Lloyd, and how Zero looked so much better this round, even
beating HK-47 worse (granted, Crono sucked and HK-47 had an awful
picture)...hey, maybe it's possible. =p As for tomorrow... I figure Yuna is nearly a lock tomorrow, if only because Rikku almost beat Knuckles. Still, there is some doubt simply because Yuna lost so badly to MC... I'm rooting for Alucard all the way. Could Liquid Snake get hurt badly by MC's presence? --- "Ah, a party!

http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/LFF Good, but you should use the example of Sephiroth/Cloud in the Battle Royale, not a made up example with crazy numbers :) I suppose the Snake elimination gets in the way, but you could compare their linear proportions, and/or their Morgoth x-stats and show how Cloud jumps. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

presence. Don't forget he probably got a small portion of his votes
from SOTN being released on 360. I just don't see why Liquid would be hurt by MC --- Oracle Prediction: ~ GaNOSEdorf 35.11% - Luigi 29.98% - Mukdip 21.01% - Vergil 13.90%~ Status: Meh |

Division 5: Round 2 - Match 42 – Master Chief vs. Yuna vs. Liquid Snake vs. Alucard Moltar’s Analysis MC Round 1 – 45.69% vs. Yuna, Tommy and PaRappa I said wow. Yuna Round 1 – 30.18% vs. MC, Tommy and PaRappa Honestly, it’s not too shabby. Liquid Round 1 – 27.79% vs. Alucard, Ness and Zidane Won with the power earned THROUGH THIS ARM Alucard Round 1 – 27.79% vs. Liquid, Ness and Zidane It was all a part of the plan. Finally, another pretty exciting match to talk about. I mean, we had MC flat-out dominating, and Liquid and Alucard going at it until the very final update of the match. Well, I’m predicting Chief takes first here. He looked monstrous in round 1, and that was on Halo 3 hype. Now that the game is out and has sold 2.00x10^32 copies, logic dictates that he should be even stronger now. Better watch out Clink! Second is either Yuna, Alucard or Liquid. It’s kind of hard to place where all three of these characters belong thanks to Chief and Ness being horrible measuring sticks, and Zidane…just not being reliable enough. If you want to get to the most basic point though, then Chief > Ness by quite a bit. Liquid has never proven to be strong, and Alucard has looked worse and worse over the years, so they’d probably be a little over Ness in strength when dealing with the regular format, which isn’t anything to be proud of. In this format? Who knows. Now that Chief is here, neither of them can be much better off. Yuna is stronger than them one-on-one, but how does she hold up with these new opponents? I can’t say for sure, but the odds are on her side. I think the fact that she’s just stronger will give her the edge, so I’m sticking with my bracket here. Moltar’s Bracket Says: MC > Yuna Moltar’s Prediction is: MC: 32% - Yuna: 24% - Liquid: 22% - Alucard: 22% Ultimaterializer’s Analysis Given what happened in the first round, I'm pretty sure of Chief > Yuna. I *want* Alucard > Liquid for personal preference, but I doubt either are strong enough to get into second place, let alone first. I suppose Yuna vs Chief would have been a date before the first round, but with the way Chief destroyed everyone? CHIEF > LINK CONFIRMED. Ulti's Prediction: Chief [33.00%] Yuna [26.00%] Alucard [21.00%] Liquid [20.00%] Heroic Mario’s Analysis ROUND 2 WITH MASTER CHIEF -- NOW WITH MORE GAME FUEL. So after the release of Halo 3, can the Chief put up the crazy numbers (45% in a poll with three other characters what) for a second time? Depends on how high we’re talking here, but I’m not thinking so. For whatever reason – and I don’t have a good one! – I’m expecting to see Master Chief come back down to earth here. He’ll look good, and have first wrapped up with no problems, but his performance won’t be as ridiculous as last round, I don’t think, even with Game Fuel! Despite a lot of people being down on Yuna, I think she’s going to be fine here. There are a lot of people talking about Liquid or Alucard having second place, but I don’t see it. Yuna’s performance last round wasn’t that bad at all. Unless you expected her to live up to the numbers she put up in last year’s female bracket (why), then her performance was about where she should be. The Master Chief we’re seeing this year isn’t the same one who lost to Sub-Zero last year, so it’s certainly not necessarily a bad thing that she wasn’t competing with him for first. |

As for Liquid and Alucard, they should end up having another close one for third. It won’t matter,
but it should be entertaining to watch them go back and forth, with
Liquid coming out on top. I just can’t see either one of these guys
competing for second here, though. If they do, I think that’s more of
Yuna’s fault than anything. I mean, these guys had a great show last
round, but come on, they were barely beating Ness. There’s a world of difference between Ness and Yuna, folks! Master Chief is who is making this match, though. What percentage he pulls in could determine how far the guy goes. I’ve got him at a good 35%, but if he’s pushing, or even exceeds, 40%? Yeah – good night. At that point, I’d be confident enough in saying the Chief would have the finals just about locked up. Brawl hype or no, it won’t matter if MC is looking that beastly. Master Chief – 35% Yuna – 27% Liquid Snake – 20% Alucard – 18% Bracket: Master Chief > Yuna Vote: BROTHER FASTER (Yuna) Yoblazer’s Analysis Despite the fact that all four of these entrants can move on, I don't really have much insight to put into this match. It's Chief, Yuna, Liquid, and Alucard in a fight to the death. One spot is guaranteed, but the other is completely up for grabs. Who'll get it? Whoever MC deceived to share his Game Fuel with, of course! Master Chief was undoubtedly one of the stars of Round 1. In what seemed to be a middle finger directed at his infamous "Halo hate" past, the Halo star put up 45.7% against what seemed to be pretty good competition. Yuna was there, a well liked FFX character, as was Tommy Vercetti, a contest veteran of GTA fame. Yet Chief found no trouble in dominating. Yuna was supposed to keep it relatively close, but failed bigtime. As such, Chief's spot as this match's winner is guaranteed, while Yuna's spot to advance, something that at first seemed safe, is very much in jeopardy. Her competitors are Alucard and Liquid Snake, two fan-favorites who gave us a performance for the ages in Round 1. They're of equal strength, so if one of these guys tries to eek past Yuna, you know it'll be one hell of a barn burner, as the other guy will probably be right there as well. While the gates of Round 3 are very much open for any of them, I still see Yuna as the favorite. She underperformed against Master Chief, but she still had enough pop to more than double Vercetti, something I'm not sure either of her opponents today can do. If Vercetti was held down by Master Chief, then it isn't out of the realm of reality to assume the same fate can behold Alucard or Liquid. It'll be close, but I think Yuna squeeze through by a few points. Master Chief - 35% Yuna - 25% Alucard - 20% Liquid Snake - 20% Lopen’s Analysis Today... today is a day of a revolution. Believe, GAME FUEL, MASTER CHIEF IS INVINCIBLE! Did I leave any off? I don't think I did. Alright, so... the question here, for me anyway, is not who wins out of Yuna, Alucard, and Liquid for what might be a hotly contested second place but rather how effectively Master Chief kicks their teeth in while they claw around for the scraps that we call second place. Now, I think Master Chief is going to do quite well for himself today. Some would say that by merit of the poll not having PafreakinRappa that he's guaranteed to fall below 40%. Nay, I say... that's simply not the case! |
| Master Moltar | Posted 10/13/2007 7:38:20 PM | message detail |
| Now any fool who's worth his Game Fuel could tell
you that Master Chief gets stronger in the face of adversity. Like,
remember that time there were eleven elites in the same room guardi--
er... that's not what I'm talking about! What I mean quite simply is
that Master Chief's apparent contest power is gonna ramp up as his
competition gets more and more rough. It's all about the fanatical
fanbase I've been talkin about several times. Okay, sure, Phoenix
Wright didn't really seem to have it.. but I really only know his
fanbase from the board. Master Chief? Proven fanatical force. We will
not abandon our champion of the X-Box... not easily. Talk about someone who isn't Master Chief? What is this crap? I... I don't wanna! Alright, fine. I still think Yuna's a good deal ahead of Liquid and Alucard 1v1, but in this contest setting she might falter a bit... I'm not sure. I wouldn't feel terrible having Alucard or Liquid in second place right now, but I think Yuna should fall somewhat safely ahead of them. In spite of everything, Yuna's performance didn't strike me as weak last round. We had a proven man in Tommy Vercetti in that poll, and I don't think Tommy Vercetti has turned into a joke nor do I believe Master Chief SFFed him excessively. Actually, something you might find interesting... if you use the 4-way stat generator for Vercetti, Yuna, and PaRappa's most recent X-Stat values, they're actually about proportionally correct. Coincidence? I THINK NOT...!! Truly, this must mean that Yuna is about as strong as 2k6 implies and Master Chief is just a beast in this format.

Master Chief - 43.37% Yuna - 20.22% Alucard - 18.30% Liquid Snake - 18.11% Karma Hunter’s Analysis What was once more of a debated match for first has more or less become a gauge for one of the - wait for it - favorites to make the finals. How things change... Master Chief Absolutely demolishing his fourpack past the expectations of even his most stalwart supporters, Master Chief has established himself as a force in this format and perhaps being able to easily cruise past Ganondorf/upset Sonic. Though Brawl makes the latter possibility much more slim... however, with Halo 3 under his belt now, this could be the strongest Chief we've ever seen. Let's see how that translates here against a threepack of legitimate competition. Yuna While people gloss over it in retrospect, her performance was in comparison quite disappointing to Master Chief's. More overrating courtesy of the female bracket? Yuna bad in this format? Or was it deceptively decent? This will be the time to tell, though Yuna has a long way to go before making herself credible against the Ganon/Luigi duo. Not to mention she's not exactly picture-perfect safe against the other two opponents... Liquid Snake Finally getting some measure of vindication in these contests, Liquid snags a win - the closest win in contest history, to be exact - over Alucard, Ness, and Zidane. Of course, three votes isn't much to rest upon when your closest competition is returning for revenge here, but Liquid has never backed down from a prolonged confrontation before... Alucard The Plan only comes through partially for Alucard, as while he snags second he loses to Liquid in a nailbiter (also making him the only board favorite in recent memory to lose such a match agh curse this sig). Plans are never without multiple steps, though, and Round 2 is cruise control for redemption... |
