Match LI: Sephiroth vs Fox McCloud vs Mario vs Big Boss Past Matches Round 2 Sephiroth - 57.11% Fox McCloud - 19.74% Meta Knight - 13.19% Wario - 9.97% Mario - 46.60% Big Boss - 24.89% Magus - 17.80% Phoenix Wright - 10.71% Analysis Out of all the matches this round this one is the most predictable. Sephiroth was able to get the highest percent of the round taking advantage of Nintendo SFF. Speaking of Nintendo SFF Fox was able to top in the SFF battle, his reward another SFF battle against an opponent he can’t win. Mario also did well last round while Big Boss got a huge boost getting a Naked Snake picture though by looking at the results he may have not needed it, his reward for winning, getting Big **** as his picture this round. Sephiroth takes first in this match with probably little trouble. Due to all the SFF matches he’s been we haven’t got a proper reading on him though his next strongest opponent, Mario was only able to get 44% one on one in 2k5 and this round Fox is in the poll. With the great performance Cloud has been doing it may be possible that Sephiroth has also increased plus with the weakness of his other two opponents I wouldn’t be surprised if he was pushing over 40% despite Mario being in the poll. Mario will take second. His best bet for an upset was for Magus to be in this poll and with Fox here plus being the weaker character going in I don’t think Mario has a chance at scoring the upset. He does however look much stronger than what he was back in 2k5 which could be because of Brawl hype. Mario kind of got screwed by the bracket placement by being in the quarter that contains both Link and Sephiroth, two of the three characters that are stronger than Mario. The battle for third here is very interesting, if we go by last round results Big Boss should easily take it, but since we’re in the sprite round and Metal Gear characters normally don’t do so well Big Boss is probably weaker than what his first round numbers say. However we also have Fox who will be SFF by Mario making him also much weaker than what he’s supposed to be. Despite the picture I think Big Boss has the strength to defeat SFF Fox though it should be interesting. Sephiroth first and Mario second, not much for discussion though it should be interesting to see how long Mario can lead over Sephiroth because of Final Fantasy VII’s horrible board vote. I wouldn’t be surprised if Fox/BB was more interesting than the match that matters. charmander6000’s Bracket: Sephiroth > Mario charmander6000’s Prediction: Sephiroth - 38.26%, Mario - 35.27%, Big Boss - 13.82%, Fox McCloud - 12.65% --- The Board 8 BOP - http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB6%20BOP.xls Match 50: Cloud > Bowser Points: 189/272 |

From what we've seen so far, the weakest character usually seems to
get pushed down worse in non-linear fashion. King Morgoth's non-linear
x-stat model is the best anyone has come up with, but this particular
aspect of the non-linearity doesn't seem to be handled very well.
Matches are usually more top-heavy than his model estimates. In other words, could be bad news for Zero in the next match. To be fair, that hasn't happened in every match, and there have been explanations for some of them. Crash looked great despite coming in fourth, for example, and Shadow might be due to Mario/Sonic funny business. Scorpion looked just fine yesterday, and even Balthier did about as well as he should have, relative to Ada. --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

Just browsing through old pictures and saw some pictures that have
given me a new theory that may shock people this round. I believe there
is a logical reason for some of our most elite characters are as strong
as they are...Link, Cloud, Samus, and Zelda are our best examples for
what I'm about to show you, though it has also helped out both LoZ and
FF as series: http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=8&pos=88 http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=7&pos=35 http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=8&pos=64 Notice a certain competitor in each of those...it can be difficult to notice off-hand.

Why didn't we see this coming sooner?! It should have been blatantly obvious on the day this classic was smashed: http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=3&pos=35 However, one should keep in mind that competitors can over-saturate the advantage to the point of actually hurting; this picture should remind you of why. Only one block at a time per competitor, please! http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=3&pos=49 So, my theory that directly relates to this round?

Hey guys listen to this idea! We all know Mario doesn't make it out of next round, right? Well what if Luigi continues this round and then next round all the Badass SFF going on lets Luigi go on through again!

| I don't think you need to rely on basass SFF. If Luigi gets second this round he has just as good a shot as anyone at advancing next round as well. Yuna on the other hand, might need a little help if she squeaks past Ganon/Luigi. |

it's too unreasonable to think he'll actually win his next match,
provided that Dante and Leon are his opponents. With three characters
who are somewhat similar in design and appeal, Luigi sticks out like a

else look like ****, FFVII characters aren't immune. I'm still waiting
to see a Lego Block field model for a FFVII character... This is just silly. It's not like everyone looks bad - plenty of characters look great as sprites. Yoshi got a great picture yesterday. Personally I'd rather have everyone look as good as possible, and the main solution would be to just stop using the crappy NES sprites for MGS characters. --- red blue green |

Division 3: Round 3 - Match 51 – Sephiroth vs. Fox McCloud vs. Mario vs. Big Boss Moltar’s Analysis Sephiroth Round 1 – 55.23% vs. Meta Knight, Peach and CATS Round 2 – 57.11% vs. Fox, Meta Knight and Wario Seph does better here than in Round 1 Fox Round 1 – 45.63% vs. Wario, Capt. Falcon and Banjo Round 2 – 19.74% vs. Sephiroth, Meta Knight and Wario Here’s some non-Nintendo competitors for ya! Mario Round 1 – 57.91% vs. Big Boss, Pac-Man and Wander Round 2 – 46.60% vs. Big Boss, Magus and Phoenix Mario smash. Big Boss Round 1 – 23.00% vs. Mario, Pac-Man and Wander Round 2 – 24.89% vs. Mario, Magus and Phoenix Oh you… Another match with two Noble Nine characters who will easily advance over the other lowly competition. Whoo… First up, there’s Big Boss. He advanced last round over Magus, who’s just one big ball of disappointment, pathetic and sad right now. Sure, he had a Naked Snake picture, but with the margin between the two, it looks like the picture wouldn’t have made a difference. Still, he takes last here with his Big **** sprite. Then there’s Fox. He’s looked good so far because 5 out of his 6 competitors have been Nintendo. Now he’s got the father of Nintendo in the poll, so he gets killed here. Mario > Sephiroth is an upset all of us are hoping for, but just isn’t going to happen. After Round 1, there was a slim chance, but Seph rebounded in Round 2, and Mario hasn’t really done anything to WOW us. Still, that doesn’t mean we can’t keep the hope alive! Moltar’s Bracket Says: Sephiroth > Mario Moltar’s Prediction is: Sephiroth: 44% - Mario: 32% - Fox: 13% - Big Boss: 11% Heroic Mario’s Analysis Mario upset? I don’t think so! This should be the most uninteresting match of the round. We know how this match is going to play out and there’s nothing here that can really get anyone talking since first and second place are locked up. Even the Sephiroth/Mario match isn’t all that important given that any chances of an upset have been silenced -- and both of their paths are cut and dry. Still, I’m looking at this match to see what Sephiroth does. He came out looking impressive last around, beating his round 1 percentage by a couple of points, and I’m expecting him to continue looking pretty good here. Cloud is showing signs that he’s potentially got what it takes to beat Link, so maybe that’s extended a bit over to other FF7 characters as well. Where the expectations stand for this one, though, I have no idea – I suspect somewhere in the lower 40s. Out of all the possibilities for this match, this is probably the most ideal for Sephiroth. With Magus having lost to Big Boss, he doesn’t have to worry about any “leeching” of the Square fanbase – he’s the strongest character here by far and he’s the only Square character. With Fox here to disrupt Mario a smidge, I don’t think it’s outside of the realm of possibility to see Sephiroth beat Mario by over 10%, though that’s undoubtedly fanboying the percentage up a bit! But yeah, there’s not a whole lot to see here. Sephiroth wins; Mario takes second, Big Boss and Fox fight for whatever is leftover. No chance of an upset, no performances that matter – boring match. Sephiroth – 44% Mario – 32% Big Boss – 14% Fox McCloud – 10% Bracket: Mario > Sephiroth (darn you tran) Vote: Sephiroth |

Yoblazer’s Analysis Welcome, one and all, to what can only in all fairness be called the worst match of Round 3! Wooo party, get the maracas! We know which two characters will advance and what their respective order will be, so other than trying to predict whether Fox or Big Boss will suck less ass, my only challenge here is to see if I can make this analysis longer than Ulti's. Here's to ultimate success! Sephiroth has had Mario's number for years and looked beastly in his last match, so he'll take first place here. While Mario won't challenge Seph, he's light years beyond his other two competitors, one of whom will get SFF'd severely and the other who is cursed with what may be the worst picture we have ever seen. Hey, I hear you still typing! Don't even think about it, Ulti! Sephiroth - 43% Mario - 34% Big Boss - 12% Fox McCloud - 11% Lopen’s Analysis Solid ****? Meet Big ****. I love this ****. ****** pictures all around... except for Sephiroth. Oh, I guess Mario's is okay. Most asterisks in an analysis that doesn't involve Tingle ever? Quite possible, my dear man... quite possible. But tut tut, let's stop that and analyze in a civilzed fashion, eh old chap? ... what is there to this one? See how ridiculously Sephiroth maims Fox and Big Boss? See how bad he maims Mario too? Mario certainly doesn't like Fox trying to get in on his mushroom stash... oh, he'll beat him away, but not before Sephiroth has impaled Mario on the end of his long... sleek... hard... Masamune. ... ... Okay, you know a match is boring when I'm resorting to innuendo involving Sephiroth's massive sword. That's quite enough of that! Nothing interesting here, folks. Lopen's prediction: Sephiroth - 44.45% Mario - 35.02% Fox McCloud - 11.56% Big Boss - 8.99% Karma Hunter’s Analysis *sigh* You know it has to happen every year, and yet when it does you still find it hard not to be surprised... Sephiroth Outdoing his first round percentage and basically quelling any notion of an upset being staged against him. Not that he needed it, as even if he would normally lose to Mario there's Fox in the match, while Big Boss did half the work for him by eliminating Magus. Villains stick together I guess... Fox McCloud A solid run ends here, and joy of joys - we don't have a read on Fox. Even by this format's standards, which is saying something. Not like I doubt him coming back (since winning matches seems to matter more than straight X-Stats, least how I figure), but considering his hilarious picture here I don't think we'll be changing that around today. Oh, can't forget the SFF FROM FREAKIN' MARIO Mario He's looked good, but he hasn't looked Clinkeroth good. Neither did Sephy last year, but with that out of the way and a drain on him here Mario is going to look BAD here, methinks. Questionable 'favorite' status and just being weaker in every way aside though, he's the one guy who probably welcomes his sprite. yay Jumpman |

Big Boss An awesome Magus sprite? Ignoring ridiculosity in favor of hopes upon hopes, another awesome Phoenix pic? Nope, there's some Metal Gear in the way - and after completing one of the sexiest upset picks transience could remember (such a short-lived one, too... L-Block steals all the thunder), he's saddled with something WORSE than his old man pictures. It's not even his Metal Gear 2 picture with the funny hat, or his Sean Connery shot (oh mans BB for first with that!). There has not been a picture so bad for Metal Gear since the original Solid ****, and this is a character that very well may not have made the second round (and wouldn't have performed NEARLY as well regardless) without getting a boost from a picture of a different kind. Oh, Magus, you're not going to look good at all when this is over... Fortunately this match has the Kay Aitch trademark "Lock of the Round" stamped all over it, as it would take a miracle to see Sephiroth drop this, and several more magnitudes of one to see either Sephy or Mario not place. There's gonna be some tossup for Big Boss/Fox, especially *now*, and I'm gonna be pessimistic and hand the empty victory to Fox on a platter. SFF, meet your match. ...what? Can you tell my pessimism for L-Block > Snake is growing? Karma Hunter's Vote: Big Boss. Because anything else... would be voting for something that's not an unrecognizable blob! Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Sephiroth with 40%, Mario with 32%, Fox McCloud with 15%, Big Boss with 13% SFF affairs are the WORST, no matter what format you disguise them in. <.< Upset Probability: 5% The standard 'anything can happen' upset probability shows exactly how little faith I have in Mario to pull this one off. He just... doesn't have what it takes, is what I'm saying. Not even calling on him to prove me wrong. Let's just get this one over with, and on to something more exciting! Transience’s Analysis pre-contest, this was the one match that actually got less discussion than it deserved. with all the possible Wii influx and Galaxy hype, could Mario beat Sephiroth? no, that wasn't even the biggest question -- wouldn't Magus being in the poll hurt Sephiroth more than Fox (or Peach) would? I talked about it more and more the last few days of the contest, and even convinced Heroic Mario to take the upset. after round 1, when Sephiroth put up a poor percentage, people were talking about it quite a bit, too. but since then? Sephiroth has re-established himself as the Mario Killer. his round 2 match was one of the best performances of round 2. Cloud's looked great too so far if you want to go as far as to draw parallels between the two. meanwhile, Mario's never really looked good in multi-option polls for whatever reason. there's the classic Yoshi Poll. there's all the GOTY stuff where people don't even seem to care that Galaxy exists. there's the battle royale, and while Link may have been in the poll, he didn't even put up much of a fight. I mean, it's friggin' Mario. well, "it's friggin' Mario" has been used twice before against Sephiroth: a.) their 2003 match where Sephiroth absolutely destroyed him 62-38 (one of the more shocking results of all time for me), and then 2005, when he spent two hard months of work owning the main bracket only to get treated like the Midgar Zolom. I can't see any way that he wins this here; Fox is in the poll and Magus isn't, though Big Boss may be just as much of a deterrent as Magus. I think he'll be in good shape if he simply keeps it close, and if Sephiroth destroys him, the craziest upset that no one would consider possible may even get some discussion: Sephiroth > Link thanks to Mario being in the poll. I think Zero would have to advance for people to take that seriously, though. Seph/Mario III no reason for something new Sephiroth will win |

transience's prediction: Sephiroth with 41.89%, Mario with 34.24%, Big Boss with 12.15%, Fox with 11.72% Guest’s Analysis - Ed Bellis A fairly standard matchup here, with no weird fanbase overlap or any other random factors… presumably. Let’s round up the usual suspects! Sephiroth - Third strongest in the contest overall, Sephy’s had two great first-round performances. Mario - Fourth (or fifth) strongest in the contest, depending on who you ask. Also had two great first-rounders. Big Boss - Here courtesy of a terrific picture, the naysayers nay say. Fox - For the first time this year, the bottom of the Nintendo chain. Two Noble Niners here. Should be obvious who moves on, and since Sephy’s the strongest and there’s nobody to leech off of, he gets first and Mario gets second. I’d be more interested in who gets third or fourth – I’m writing this before Big Boss’s pic is announced, but regardless I still think he’s a pretty strong dude. Fox has proven to be greater than a number of third-tier Nintendo characters, but I can’t see him not getting last here: Mario’s SFF sense is hungry, and Fox MADE LOTSA SPAGHETTI PREDICTION: BORING MATCH IS BORING Sephiroth: 36.35% Mario: 30.88% Big Boss: 20.55% Fox: 12.22% Crew Consensus: Seph > Mario... |

I'm just saying, all the top characters who have bad "sprite" pictures
have had them used. I don't see why FFVII is an exception... Besides, I

On the contrary. It looks to me like he tried to find the best possible

| Cloud had an in-game battle picture available,
sure, but so did Auron (yes, it's not a particularly good one, but that
never stopped them from using it in 2004). Going all FMV with Auron
means that there's really no reason not to do so with Cloud, unless
you're doing it for stylistical reasons (which of course is the reason,
it's the whole point). ...which is why for the sake of style it's not exactly going to kill anyone if you use Samus' SM sprite instead of her original Metroid sprite. Sure this doesn't matter too much for characters like Snake and BB because ALL their sprites are horrid, but at least we could have seen Big Boss in a funny red hat or something! (or more importantly, he should have got his Connery pic aww yeah) --- Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario.

Right, it's not that bad sprites are used on purpose, it's that some
characters only have bad sprites. Cloud had an in-game battle picture,
no reason to pick one that looks worse. But there are better sprites for those characters in other games. Why limit yourself to the first game knowing that there are other characters who will come out looking much better that way. And really, I'm just commenting on how other characters have been given all types of crap (especially poor Snake... that GB one was just adding insult to injury) yet we haven't seen one FFVII field model in these contests. --- Currently playing: Call of Duty 2, Maverick Hunter X, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Dead Rising, Tomb Raider Legend |

This round, he should look great with all the Nintendo characters SFFing eachother and Big Boss getting Big **** sprite. Fox He's looked great against the 4 other Nintendo characters he's been up against, but now he's up against Mario, and we all know what happens to Nintendo characters when they're up against Mario. Mario The plummer had a ho-hum expected match last round, and will probably look like crap today and next round due to Nintendo SFF. Big Boss Last round he looked great with Naked Snake, like a high midcarder. Now we'll see the opposite end of the spectrum where he gets pretty much the same sprite that gave us Frog and Bowser almost beating Solid Snake. Predictions: Boring match is boring. This match should serve as the calm before the inevitable storm that will be Link/Vincent/Zero/Crono. Sephiroth is far enough ahead of Mario, that the only chance Mario would have had is if CATS and Magus were here instead of Fox and Big Boss. As it is, Mario has Fox leeching off him and a Big Boss that will be lucky to break 10%. TuRtLe's Prediction: Sephiroth 45%, Mario 35%, Fox 12%, Big Boss 8% TuRtLe's Bracket: Sephiroth > Mario TuRtLe's Vote: Fox TuRtLe ~~~ 221/272 in the contest. Next pick: Cloud > Bowser (lol) BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Hey, maybe the FF7 field model will be Vincent, and Crono will get HIS field model. That combined with LoZ Link..... Zero > his whole fourpack confirmed! TuRtLe ~~~ 221/272 in the contest. Next pick: Cloud > Bowser (lol) BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

I was just thinking about Magus, given that Ganondorf went even with
Tidus in 2003, maybe Ganondorf just boosted massively in 2005/2006 and
was a midcarder at best in 2003, which means Magus has always been at
about Tidus' level, but was masked by Bible Link and Crono/Magus. TuRtLe ~~~ 221/272 in the contest. Next pick: Cloud > Bowser (lol) BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |
