I don't know much about Balthier, but if his great line is "I'm the
leading man!", he should be honored to be within 3% of the lovely Ada
Wong. but its ada wong who in the world likes ada wong --- let's mosey |

I would really hesitate to ever call a match over when one character is
leading by 52 votes, and is extending that lead by marginal amounts
each update. --- let's mosey |

I don't know why Ada should be so favored in the day. She went even with Balthier while Ammy went even with Dante. --- Currently Playing: Fire Emblem Path of Raidance (replay), Wild Arms 3, Persona 3 |

assuming next year it's one on one can MC beat the followiing? Auron/ryu/dante/bowser/ganondorf/squall/yoshi/leon/zero/vincent/tifa or will he revert to losing to the likes of sub-zero. --- Rufus shinra destroyed my bracket in the sc2k6 contest. |

Next year, I fully expect MC to be slightly beneath the highcarders you
just listed, with the possible exception of Leon, who I don't think is
quite at that level yet. MC only looks so dominant because this really is his year. TuRtLe ~~~ 165/208 in the contest. Next pick: Danta > Han Solo BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

What match is the closest match with the lowest peak lead? either Chrono Trigger (I don't remember how big the peak lead was in that match but it wasn't big) or Frog VS Liquid Snake (None of them could get more than a 400 lead) --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day.

Lead at 15. It's been a popular number tonight, and probably the total number of brackets that took Ada or Ama to advance. TuRtLe ~~~ 165/208 in the contest. Next pick: Danta > Han Solo BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

| Wow. I think Ada and Balthier are in exactly the
same proportion this match as the last one. Well it's nice for that to
happen for once --- This story is not an end yet. Because only you are in the infinity loop. |

Yeah, if we use Dante as the Great Casual Measuring Stick by which all
things casual are henceforth measured, Balthier is about as casual as
Ada. Not terribly surprising, but the fact that he's this damned weak
is. Final Fantasy XII would be such a wild card in another games
contest. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
| BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 10/14/2007 11:44:59 PM | message detail |

Yeah, so much for Ada collapsing against recognizable characters. I think the real suprise here is Ama doing just as good with Ada and Balthier here as she was against Matt and Mac. TuRtLe ~~~ 165/208 in the contest. Next pick: Danta > Han Solo BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

At least FF12 would have the benefit of FFranchise voting. But put it
up against any other Final Fantasy except 9 or 11, and it would fall
like a house of cards. TuRtLe ~~~ 165/208 in the contest. Next pick: Danta > Han Solo BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |
| YoAriel33 | Posted 10/14/2007 11:50:41 PM | message detail |

I think that just adds to its unpredictability. If any other game had
main characters this weak, no one would give it a second glance.
However, a Final Fantasy game always
has that potential ace in the hole. For all we know, this could be the
weakest Final Fantasy of them all, one that would lose to anything with
a respectable fanbase, or it could have the potential to win a round or
two. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Let's not forget how weak FFVI's cast is. I have no idea what the stats
say, but I sure wouldn't pick Terra or Celes to take post-RE4Wii Ada. --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Yes! Ada needs to gain about 0.028 votes per update in order to catch up, that's to much for someone like Ada IMO. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Kyle Bowen: Ignore me then and dont be an ass when I post. It solves everything. |

| Phew... finally back... I've had very little time
over the past couple days. Actually, that's how it is with weekends,
usually... Anyway... amazing performance by MC. I saw him a couple hours in... looks like he nailed what I was expecting him to hit by the end (43-44%). I absolutely cannot wait to see MC when he gets up to some NNers to see how he holds (not making it up to the match with Sonic/Snake is practically impossible now). Casuals are going to destroy Board 8 for the next little when it comes to MC, heh. Not that I enjoy seeing MC doing so well because I -like- him... I still find him incredibly boring. I just like a good surprise. Yuna showed to be of pretty good strength as she beat Alucard by 4.5 points. Blah. I was hoping she wouldn't quite do that well for Luigi/Ganondorf's sake next round... not that she's a lock by any means. I don't think Luigi/Ganondorf leeched off each other THAT much... not like Squall/Aeris, at least. Today... go Amaterasu! I have a bad feeling Ada Wong will do better in the day, regardless of trends last round, though... I hope that's just my pessimism. I thought Balthier would hold up better than Ada Wong... I guess people do care about Ada. --- "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." |

BT, I looked up a similar stat after PW/Bomberman, so here's that listing.

Go Ada! And yes, I too usually wonder about W2W matches during this sort of match. The closest ones are Liquid/Frog and CT/LttP, I think, but I couldn't tell you beyond that. Vince and Squall wasn't a bad one, IIRC, wasn't the final lead the biggest? --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=34492787 Sign plz "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU *****!" - Molly Weasley, Deathly Hallows |

I just got an interesting idea, what if Link gets a wolf picture in any
match after Link/Vincent/Crono/Zero.. we have seen how pictures have
almost killed popular characters before so maybe...... --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Kyle Bowen: Ignore me then and dont be an ass when I post. It solves everything. |

| The only reason I'd want Ada to win is in hopes
she'll hold Leon Kennedy back for Pikachu to pull off the hilarious

Random fact: only one match so far this round that had nearly identical
proportions between the the two winners of their respective matches.
That match is Cloud/Ocelot/Marcus/Kefka (Kefka got the expected
proportion on Marcus.. likewise with Cloud/Ocelot). Today looks like it
will be another to go with the numbers, which I honestly wasn't
expecting. Mega Man/KOS-MOS/Yoshi/Knuckles was also pretty darn close to what Round 1 numbers expected, too (Knuckles underperformed just slightly). --- "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." |

Mega Man/KOS-MOS/Yoshi/Knuckles was also pretty darn close to what
Round 1 numbers expected, too (Knuckles underperformed just slightly). Ugh, the fact that this is an SFF match puts a bit of a damper on my Chief > Luigi > Ganon upset next round. There's no way I'll admit to Luigi being out of it completely, but that tiny 3% gap seems bigger when it's an SFF match. I'm hoping for two things: 1. Chief and Yuna throw the Nintendo voting dynamic on its ear. 2. Mudkip hurt Luigi more than he did Ganondorf. I still have hope, Luigi! --- yoblazer33: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
