I've got Wander as the ultimate loser, and can't see any different, short of L-Block doing what it did last year.

I'm a little worried about Link SFFing Shadow and the reason is Ganondorf Vs. Robotnik. I don't know, something seems fishy to me about this match. If we accept it's values at face value than:

A) Robotnik is very close to Amy Rose.
B) Kuja is on par with Albedo and Ramierez. Now as is my understanding, both Kuja and Albedo appear at roughly the same point in their games with equal prominence, and I'm to believe that the character from *Xenosaga* beats out a similar character from a Final Fantasy game?

I'm somewhat doubtful as to the truth behind these two claims.

It's hard to predict an ultimate loser, seeing as though fourth place is not as easy to predict as you would think.

i'm getting falcon as the ultimate loser. or maybe kratos aurion.

captain falcon takes fourth in round 1 with alucard/diddy advancing. diddy takes fourth in round 2 with pikachu/alucard advancing. alucard takes fourth in round 3 with crono/ryu advancing. ryu takes fourth in round four with samus/whoever advancing. samus takes fourth in round five with link/whoever advancing. whoever takes fourth in the finals.

I'm not sure how farfetched that one is. Look at KOS-MOS and Zidane; the Xenosaga character has a pretty big advantage there. And, should you bring up Vivi, is he popular because he's from FFIX or because he's a black mage? And that's still a reasonably close match.

No, it's the guy who got fourth place in the match with the guy who got fourth place in the next match with the guy who got fourth place in the next match or something like that.

128 in the stats is one of the Tales of the Abyss characters probably... or maybe Kaim. I have very little faith in Kaim.

Eh, I don't think Kaim would finish last in Xstats. It would have to be someone with a character in his match that beats him badly, then gets beaten soon after, and Crono has a chance of making final match and he's in Kaims first round match. I'd think its something like maybe.. Raz? or maybe Wander?

Hell, looking at the bracket... maybe it'll be Travis Touchdown. He'll likely be blown out by Pacman/Ness/Mewtwo, then Mewtwo will be slaughtered by Cloud.

I considered that, but then I changed my mind since I've got Mewtwo going on to the quarterfinals... and I only have Zack getting to the division finals at this point.

that's not what biggest loser means. you take the final match, see who got last place. snake. in the previous round in snake's match, dante got last. in dante's previous match, pikachu got last. in pikachu's previous match, amaterasu got last. in amaterasu's previous match, balthier got last. in balthier's previous match, jade got last. if these lasts aren't huge blowouts, they may not be last in the x-stats. in this case, the lasts were pretty huge, and there was sff involved in pikachu's defeat, so yeah jade was an easy last.

auron beating sonic is pretty likely if sandbag is in that match. i got it in my bracket.

trannyscience | Posted 9/16/2008 2:04:46 PM | message detail
the problem there is that Magus could be there, turning what's a 50/50 proposition into a near-impossibility. and Sandbag beating Magus isn't guaranteed, so the safe pick is Sonic over Auron.

it's not exactly impossible. Auron was farther away from Ryu than Sonic was from Sub-Zero (Sonic's first match).

of course that's before the Brawl announcement but even afterward.. what would he have done to Squall without it?

especially if you have Sandbag in the match, it's going to be a doozy.

it's not like it's 50/50 even with sandbag there. auron's a pretty big favorite in that situation i think; it comes down to magus vs sandbag.

Yeah...if Sandbag is there, it's likely to be a big upset. If Magus is there, it would be a BIG big upset if it happens.

I don't really care if that makes sense.

i suppose the best comparison between them after Sonic's brawl release (i think it was after Round 1 at the least?) is his match with Gordon and Duke while Auron faced off against Pyramid Head and.. Chris Redfield.

just depends on who you think had the tougher competition.

For the Fenix discussion, remember that he had Cloud SFFing Auron there. We might have a reliable measure if you run him through Ryu, but then you have all the "fourth place does bad" complaining.

So those people must think Fenix is a powerhouse.

Fenix's strength depends on whether or not you believe the bologna "fourth place characters do worse" crap.

Run him through Ryu and you have a decent midcarder which is where he should be, unless GeoW 2 puts him higher.

A) Robotnik is very close to Amy Rose.

Furries

B) Kuja is on par with Albedo and Ramierez. Now as is my understanding, both Kuja and Albedo appear at roughly the same point in their games with equal prominence, and I'm to believe that the character from *Xenosaga* beats out a similar character from a Final Fantasy game?

It's Final Fantasy 9. I'd take KOS-MOS over Zidane any day of the week.
Zylo the wolf | Posted 9/16/2008 2:36:41 PM | message detail
I laugh at anyone who picks Sandbag. The L-Block is unique....

The only reason I got the Cube in round 3 is because his competition is....weak as hell. If Magus don't take care of it, then Sonic, Auron AND Subby will.....

Auron > Sonic is possible, the Sandbag winning over any of them is just a waste of points.
