nah, 5 is less than 4. 5 is good in its own way, but also frustrating. BT's opinion there is a disaster --- xyzzy |

Contra guys? Seriously? And I doubt Protoman'd be that strong... more Vincent-ish. Replace them with Fighter and Simon Belmont. Then you're good. --- Ask Heroic Mario about your bracket. I am a ToS fanboy and I love Kratos/Lloyd yaoi |

Fighter would flop, and I doubt Simon would be that high. Maybe put Bowser or Peach in Contra guys position. And Protoman would be damn strong. He's basically Zero, but with most of the guys ahead of Zero not existing back then. TuRtLe ~~~ 181/232 in the contest. Next pick: Snake > Riku BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

I love how you can mention Phoenix Wright in any topic on this board
and an absolute sea of inequalities comes forward. HM used to be like
"haha what the hell language are you guys speaking" and now he's part
of them. --- xyzzy |

I didn't care for case 2-4 because: - it was a really stupid, obvious case. There was no "A-ha!" moment - it just draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagged on. They could have seriously cut 20 minutes off of that case - Edgeworth wasn't his usual self. - Side characters sucked ass compared to 2-3 - There was no funny part - Oldbag TuRtLe ~~~ 181/232 in the contest. Next pick: Snake > Riku BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

For some reason I see Garland doing better than Fighter or Black Mage. Probably just because he has an actual name, though. BT's opinion ... is a disaster This is funny and sad. |

...Damnit. I should have realized that they would have just finished
their second playthrough. Which explains Riku surviving here, since
they wouldn't have seen him during the first round. Sora looks to be a
huge favourite tomorrow too. damn you moltar for not telling me of spf pre-contest ~~~ Ashe. The Cream of Final Fantasy Fanboyism. http://www.destructoid.com/elephant//ul/9855-550x-contra-poster-2-dsf.jpg |

Squall>Aeris is highly unlikely. Squall's definitely higher in the SFF chain. Sora probably is, too. Heck, she might not beat Lara. I personally took the upset and went for Sora>Squall. Hoping SFF will do its magic as usual. ^_^ --- Ask Heroic Mario about your bracket. I am a ToS fanboy and I love Kratos/Lloyd yaoi |

Sora probably is, too. That would be a complete stunner. While it did happen before KHII, Aeris doubled Sora in 2003. |

else yet, and can't wait to...but must for probably another day or two
at least, barring some awesome spare time. 1-4 blows everything prior to it completely out of the water. 1-5 is hit or miss (strong hit for me), but I'm pretty sure it's impossible to dislike 1-4. --- Mustache...and green... www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Brawl.jpg |

| The last thirty minutes have been a complete stalemate, so Hayabusa has probably withered all of Riku's storm. I doubt he can make up 400 votes, though. |

me back on the leaderboard. Gah, hopefully this means Sora will place
second. --- Go Ducks Go! |

I didn't even consider Ryu an upset pick when I took him. If you told
me the results of his two matches pre-contest, this one would have been
the harder one for me to believe. Bleh. =/ ~~~ Ashe. The Cream of Final Fantasy Fanboyism. http://www.destructoid.com/elephant//ul/9855-550x-contra-poster-2-dsf.jpg |

I didn't really consider it an upset pick either, more of a fanboy
pick. Still, the majority had Riku so it was an upset pick (and one
that was looking mighty good after the first round). --- Go Ducks Go! |

This isn't really all that surprising. Riku + Roxas against Hayabusa
was close enough as it was. When you assume that Riku probably got some of Haseo's votes and Snake's probably hindering Ryu a small bit, it works out. --- CB6 - 166/232; Oracle - 30th http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff192/Afroking97/sonicwii.jpg |

| YoAriel33 | Posted 10/18/2007 6:38:19 PM | message detail |
| I think Snake is hurting Ryu more. The argument that Snake holds a definite SFF-like advantage over Riku has only one piece of evidence supporting it: Snake/Sora 2005, and that was pre-KHII and with just about the most gimped pic one can have. Granted, Snake still might undervalue Sora/Riku/KH in general in a straight match, but I don't think it would be anything near what we saw in 2005. |
| KleenexTissue50 | Posted 10/18/2007 6:41:16 PM | message detail |
| Even if you completely ignore SFF, Hayabusa was
only up 1000 votes on Riku/Roxas. I'm pretty confident in Riku/Roxas
having a huge overlap, upwards of 90%. So then assume that 1/4 of
Haseo's votes went to Riku and you get today's result. The match was always a tossup. --- CB6 - 166/232; Oracle - 30th http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff192/Afroking97/sonicwii.jpg |

Snake holds an advantage over everybody. he seems to overlap with the RPG crowd, the Nintendo crowd, the Sony crowd, the "badass" crowd... what's left? trying to gauge who's hurt more here.. that's tough. I thought it would be Riku, but this result tells me Ryu.. who knows? I keep coming back to the Block -- if Ryu's not there, Kratos probably has a better chance.. but then, if Snake has overlap with Ryu, why wouldn't he with Kratos? man, whatever. Block for round 4. --- xyzzy |
