Yeah I wouldn't even consider 5 as a favorite but it's the only one
with MMX and it's the very first picture that actually has him
prominent. So it automatically wins. The fact that it has ZSS is a

Quarterfinals: Match 57 – Samus Aran vs. Mega Man vs. Cloud Strife vs. Ryu Moltar’s Analysis Samus - Taking off her clothes for everyone to see. Round 1 – 51.75% vs. Frog, Axel and Kerrigan Round 2 – 45.96% vs. Scorpion, Frog and Midna Round 3 – 33.10% vs. Mega Man, Yoshi and Scorpion Take that, MM > Samus supporters! Mega Man - How’s it going King of SFF? Round 1 – 50.49% vs. KOS-MOS, Arthas and Diablo Round 2 – 37.73% vs. Yoshi, Knuckles and KOS-MOS Round 3 – 30.43% vs. Samus, Yoshi and Scorpion Read above Cloud - Team Killer Round 1 – 61.24% vs. Ocelot, Jill and Zolom Round 2 – 56.10% vs. Marcus, Ocelot and Kefka Round 3 – 49.59% vs. Ryu, Auron and Marcus No slowing down for Cloud, and even his FF-pal Auron suffers. Ryu - A dedicated fanbase and little luck can do wonders Round 1 – 36.30% vs. Bowser, Mewtwo and Toad Round 2 – 26.16% vs. Auron, Bowser and Shadow Round 3 – 20.25% vs. Cloud, Auron and Yoshi Ryu’s hardcore fans push him through again. S is the best letter in the alphabet, so I like this match for one reason! Round 4! The Quartz as they call ‘em on the streets. This match isn’t too crazy or wild, and should end up being pretty predictable. Cloud takes first with ease, and because he’s a member of Clinkeroth, expect an overperformance that will get Cloud > Link cries loud and abundant again. Seriously, look at the guy so far. All this has been is a Contest between Link and Cloud to see who can one-up the other. Last place? Ryu. Sure, the whole Samus/MM split could MAYBE push Ryu to second, but it’s really unlikely. Ryu has been slipping each round, and last round he barely got by an Auron who got crushed thanks to Cloud. His chances of making it out alive in a poll with 3 Noble Niners are…BADOUKEN. The battle between Samus and Mega Man rages on for another round. This time, the stakes are higher, with the loser out of the Contest for good. Samus beat out MM last poll, and that was with the hardcore Yoshi fans possibly hindering her. We’ve seen MM beatdown Yoshi, and we know about Samus’s history with SFF, which is why I think Yoshi was more of a hurt for her than Mega Man. Samus has also held up against Cloud before, so I don’t see any real reason for her to collapse here. Moltar’s Match Pic: http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/459/gfaqssamusmmcloudryucopzu4.png Moltar’s Bracket Says: Cloud > Samus Moltar’s Prediction is: Cloud: 40% - Samus: 25% - Mega Man: 20% - Ryu: 15% Heroic Mario’s Analysis So Link came out looking to reassure people that he's still going to win the contest -- as if most people hadn't already assured themselves he was going to. Link looked good last round, for sure, and he has for the entire contest. But I think Cloud has been the more impressive of the two for most of the contest, save for perhaps the last round. That said, he's still lacked that one match that completely blows everyone away, which means... IT'S TIME FOR CLOUD/SONIC 2k3 PART 2 BELIEVE The percentage area that Cloud needs to hit to start getting serious talk about upsetting Link is ~40%. If he can hit that, all of a sudden he's looking to be right up there with Link's 45% -- especially with stronger competition here. The likelihood of him doing so is, admittedly, not too big, but if there is ever a chance for him to put up big numbers against noteworthy competition, this is it. It doesn't get much better than two strong “noble niners” and Ryu, in this format. |

7 and 8 are my favorites! 5 is pretty good for the potential ZSS factor. --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl. Everyone's got one and nobody thinks their's stink." -Lunar 2:EB *Claims KG's Eclair, C.C. & Tear Grants* |

Coming up with any reason for him to do
so is a bit difficult, though. It's hard to point to one thing in
particular that makes Cloud look as good as he has. He hasn't had a
game within the past year, there are no hyped releases coming up, and
we have seen him in this type of format thanks to the Battle Royale.
Still, it hasn't stopped him from killing characters left and right, so
I'm going to keep shooting high, if for nothing else than fanboyism! As far as second is concerned, I think Samus is safe to take it. Despite a bad picture and Yoshi hanging around, she still managed to safely beat Mega Man. You could make the argument that Yoshi hurts Mega Man more than Samus, but I doubt it. I could see Mega Man getting slightly more of Yoshi's votes, but Samus is still going to take a big chunk of those. If she can win with all of the factors that were against her last round, she should be safe to take this one. Ryu shouldn't pose any threat here, either. I've seen some rumblings of Ryu beating out Mega Man, or somehow managing to slip by for second (darn you LFF), but neither are worth consideration. Ryu probably won't be too far from third place, but I don't expect him to do much -- he's going to keep the trend going of last place characters getting hit pretty hard. cloud to shock believe Cloud – 43% Samus – 23% Mega Man – 19% Ryu – 15% Bracket: Cloud > Samus Vote: Cloud Yoblazer’s Analysis After what have inarguably been the three least predictable rounds in contest history, we're finally starting to wind it down. While I don't think these final few rounds will be as full of stunners, we could easily still see a fair bit of wackiness. I consider today's match to be one of the two most boring quarterfinal matches, but even it has its fair share of intrigue and uncertainty. This match features the remarkable Cloud Strife, the remarkably hot Samus Aran, and the remarkable I-can't-believe-your-old-ass-is-still-this-popular Mega Man and Ryu. Three Noble Niners and an outsider. Naturally, it should stand to reason that the outsider fares little chance. However, and please shackle me up when you think I've divulged too far into crazy town, but I think Ryu does have a puncher's chance. He's held up pretty well in all three rounds, and assuming he does so again and benefits from Samus and Mega Man overlapping fanbases all over each other (Mega Man... you lucky son of a...), he might actually do this again. Sounds insane, sure, but Pikachu beat Dante. Remember that, cry, and don't be so quick to dismiss any "wild" theories about this contest. I also feel Mega Man has a shot. In the last round, Samus beat him comfortably despite her worst picture ever, but if he actually was the one more handicapped by Yoshi's presence, he could make a much closer fight today. I'm not saying I'm a supporter of that theory, but once again, we've seen far too much crazy crap for me to just passively dismiss it. Despite this, I still think Samus will win today. She looked very good in her earlier rounds, fantastic in her last match, and she's poised to strike with some awesome pictures this time around. In addition to this, however, I feel Cloud will utilize the fanbase overlap between Samus and Mega Man en route to another surprisingly strong performance. In fact, I think it will get the Cloud>Link wheels churning once more despite what Bible Link just did. When will you people learn. =P Cloud Strife - 40% Samus Aran - 23% Mega Man - 21% Ryu - 16% Lopen’s Analysis Crunch time for Mr. Nimbus. Gotta look good, so he can hope to beat Li-- hoho... Master Chief, later. A big step up are Mega Man and Samus from SFFed Auron and Marcus Fenix, and this should bring Cloud down to earth a bit. |

Hopefully ZSS + MMX will allow Megaman to beat Samus.............for 3rd. On another note, Sonic's current percentage of Sonic/Squall votes: 51.22% Percentage of Sora's votes Squall needs to tie Sonic, if Sub-Zero's votes split 50-50: 53.85% --- 8/22/03. 10/24/07. Remember Crono. |
| Master Moltar | Posted 10/28/2007 8:44:49 PM | message detail |
| If you'll scroll down to my percentages which you
no doubt all do, you'll see that these %s are pretty wack. Ryu not
losing much more than 2% despite much tougher competition? Mega Man
reversing last round's result and with authority? Cloud barely breaking 30%? Yes, yes, and yes. First I'll start with the one that really isn't that important to this match. Yes, you guessed it... Mr. Classic Look™ himself. Your days of kicking the crap out of people while they're getting their arms held behind their backs are over. You shifty bastard. Shifty... and a tactical genius. Now... why the hell do I have him at 18.07%!? He only got around 20% last round despite much weaker competition. Well, if you'll recall, there's this thing we like to call The Fighting Spirit. Ryu's fanbase is hardcore at this point... Ryu is the symbol of fighting games on GameFAQs. That same stuff that never lets him fall below 40% 1v1, it's coming into play here, and in a big way. And you've gotta figure he might get some more support when he doesn't look like that dork from SF1 and instead looks like the guy from a game we've actually played. (I doubted the pic factor... Solid **** set me back in line... I'm gonna go back to overrating it, okay?) Now okay... Ryu's going to do better than he should, great, doesn't matter for points anyway so who cares? Why the hell does Mega Man reverse last round's loss? I direct you to my argument for Ganondorf vs Luigi. Now, like Pigman, Samus has more overall popularity... but... like Luigi, I think Mega Man is more popular among the Nintendo fanbase. Now in a match with mostly Nintendo, Mega Man's popularity advantage with the Nintendo faithful isn't enough for him to win... (slight miscalculation on my part) however, now Ryu and especially Cloud serve as big time outlier vote nukes. Those who aren't primarily Nintendo voters? Man, they're going to Cloud. So Samus loses her outside flank, and Mega Man GETS EQUIPPED WITH SHOT SAMUS IN THE FACE BUSTER. And that's it, the end for Ms. Aran. In addition... ultimately, I don't think Samus holds up very well in multiway polls, when the competition gets serious. I mean, I know she had Mario and Link there to deal with last year... but 7%? Pitiful. I seriously considered having her in last here before last round. (As for Cloud doing "poorly," it's just because his competition really ramped up. No fancy argument from me here.) Lopen's prediction: Cloud - 32.98% Mega Man - 26.04% Samus - 23.91% Ryu - 18.07% Karma Hunter’s Analysis Samus Aran Overcomes a godawful picture and potentially being hurt by Yoshi to easily beat Mega Man despite an early scare. Today's match could be brutal for the Blue Bomber... Mega Man See above. Cloud Strife Our #2 actually looking like he might have a .001% chance of upending our #1 just got a lot more silent as Link puts up a stellar performance on Crono/Vincent/Zero. Cloud needs to up the ante significantly here if he wants the biggest question of the finals to be something other than what involves L-Block... Ryu Mr. Independence's run ends here, but what a run it's been. Or, at least... it *should*... Cloud comes in first, but it's also important to see what he gets. I'm gonna call for him to get higher than I think he will... and if he gets it, I still won't call him the favorite against Link. But he'll at least still have his little .001% chance to cling to. Meanwhile, we've got the Mega Man/Samus 'battle', which is all but decided. No Yoshi and no terrible Samus sprite means that MM is all but certain to take a heavy beatdown. MAYBE he stands a chance if Yoshi hurt him more than Samus... but, wtf would that mean? |
| Master Moltar | Posted 10/28/2007 8:45:15 PM | message detail |
| And then there's Ryu. The clear weakest character
in the match, he's holding out for some MAJOR MM/Samus overlap, Cloud
going nuts and driving everyone down, along with SF4 hype and the match
of his life. Yeah. Pretty cut and dry, I think. Which means it should be anything but, but that won't stop me from predicting it! Karma Hunter's Vote: Cloud Strife. Wow, it took a long time for me to vote for him! <3 Cloud Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Cloud Strife with 40%, Samus Aran with 25%, Mega Man with 20%, Ryu with 15% How... plain. Upset Probability: 20% As cut and dry as this match seems, there's still slight, *almost* non-trivial chances for MM and Ryu to make noise here. Overlap, format dynamics, Samus getting ZSS in all her pictures... it could happen! <.< Transience’s Analysis woo, round 4. man, this thing is over in one week's time. uhh, not much to say here. three Noble Niners and a guy who always does well. it's highly likely that Samus was hurt by Yoshi more than Mega Man was due to sharing the same game as him. throw in that Samus has impressed against Cloud in the past and that she's going to get a better picture than that 8-bit mess last round and you've almost definitely got a Cloud > Samus result. heck, I even think Ryu hurts Mega Man more than Samus for whatever reason. I think the only thing that will give people second thoughts is a ZSS picture. really, this match is all about Cloud. he's looked good for three rounds in a row. can he continue to keep hope alive against the juggernaut that is Link? I think he does pretty well here, but still loses to Link in the end. again, not much to say here until we see what actually happens. Cloud has no chance of losing first place and Samus/MM get Clinkeroth next round. Samus with a good picture? no Yoshi to hold her back? second place. transience's prediction: Cloud with 40.33%, Samus with 26.01%, Mega Man with 20.44%, Ryu with 13.22% Crew Consensus: Cloud > Samus yep |
