how the hell was there not a Zack account until 2006? It was probably created years before then, but ended up purging from GameFAQs. The account is most likely created through the same exploit used to make space accounts (after you couldn't make them normally). --- Luster Soldier - Popular at school. ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ |

Well now that this match is over, time to panic. I severely underestimated Zack. I picked him over Shadow but was never really confident about it. Any chance he makes it to the quarters? --- Believe |

Leonhart Analysis Time! Division 1, Match 2 Link …Do we really need analysis on this guy here? For only the second time in six years, Link is NOT the defending champion! He got his revenge last time, but will he get it this time? Bacon must really like Link because he gave him a division where he could feasibly score 60% in every match, and he should never get below 50% in any of his three matches. Link is going to win this match, and look good doing it. No doubt about it. Luke fon Fabre What’s this? Back-to-back matches involving Tales characters from a game that’s not Symphonia? That can’t be good! I have no idea if Luke is stronger than Jade (and I don’t really care), but it’s not like it matters. We’re looking at less than 10% and 10,000 votes here…again. He’s going to finish last. No doubt about it. Shadow the Hedgehog The black-haired Sonic (or is Sonic a blue-haired Shadow? DUN DUN DUN! This sounds familiar somehow…) makes his return after a disappointing showing last year. Auron gave him a good lickin’ in the first round, and Shadow actually lost multiple updates to Pyramid Head. Still, it’s not like he was in any danger of losing. He did look bad in the second round, but he was facing three high near-elite characters. For what it’s worth, Shadow got closer to Bowser than Bowser got to Auron. Still, he’s got a favorable path to get out of division 1. It’s his to lose, honestly, but Sonic Team has proven in the past that, when they can blow a match, they usually do. Shadow should get second here, but don’t take it for granted. Zidane Tribal A main character from a Playstation Final Fantasy facing a Tales character and Shadow? Surely he’ll advance to the second round! Not so fast, my friend! </Lee Corso> For some reason, Zidane is surprisingly weak, despite starring in one of the more recent Final Fantasy games. I’d love to pick him to upset Shadow here, but I can’t see it. Shadow went toe-to-toe with Tidus, a more popular Final Fantasy lead, and Zidane lost too badly in his match last year for me to have any confidence in him. Put Shadow in Zidane’s spot last year, and he probably wins the match. People might disagree with me on that one, but that’s how I see it. At the very least, Zidane will actually beat someone this year! Same Old Happenings Cloud’s Adversary Humiliates Three Others Altogether Link – 62.46% Luke fon Fabre – 7.54% Shadow the Hedgehog – 16.38% Zidane Tribal – 13.62% --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

You give Shadow too little credit and Luke too much, I think. Anyway, this match is making me seriously regret my choice of Kefka advancing to round 4. Unless he manages to do his rSFF thing he showed potential for against Cloud(He came much closer to Fenix with Cloud than without) and Link badly hurts his TSF votes(oh come on. You know a good 10% of his 43% if not more comes from the sword.) I doubt I'll be right. The odd thing about Zack is that barring a few abberations here and there, he's eating up casual votes. Plus, his votes have pretty much no pattern to them. Seems like TSF may be a serious factor after all, especially since the only other option a casual would likely know is Wario. Pretty much the most hated Nintendo character in contest history barring Daisy. Or maybe including her... --- Ask Explicit Content, the Guru champ, about your bracket. |

(He came much closer to Fenix with Cloud than without) No, he didn't, actually. Don't let the raw percentage numbers fool you. Kefka did slightly worse if you were to take their opponents out of each match and add their numbers up as a one-on-one duel. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

Doing the calculations, Kefka still only suffered as much as Fenix did,
almost exactly. This allows for some rSFF potential. Unless of course
Zelos was seriously holding Kefka back in round one, which is possible,
but even if it was, it shows that Cloud didn't exactly crush him
SFF-wise nonetheless. Kefka seems fairly immune. Also, what's truly remarkable about this match is just how badly Jade's doing. He might actually be weaker than Tanner. If we take a leap and assume that Zack's about equal to Marcus Fenix(a fair comparison) and then take the fact that Nook would beat Cecil and Kefka is far above Wario into account... Compare Jade to Zelos. Either Zelos looks a lot better even if in comparison alone, or Jade is really that weak, even when compared to somebody from his own series. Of course the plus side here for me is that suddenly Zelos seems not THAT weak anymore(+5 happiness for me). --- Ask Explicit Content, the Guru champ, about your bracket. |

Yeah. I'd agree there. KHF can get outta here -- it's Yuffie. Can't
see her being strong than some of the other playable cast of FFVII. Not
stronger than Red XIII or Cid. Actually, I think KH and Advent Children did wonders for making Yuffie likable. All she really did in FFVII was steal your materia after all. In KH, KH2, and Advent Children, her sass was able to show through without her being annoying. Especially KH2 and Advent Children... she became much more spunky ninja and less annoying materia-stealing brat. --- Proud Supporter of Zero |

I am not. This time I actually have a basis. Oh yeah, that Jade paragraph was supposed to culminate in something useful(why Luke will get a mere 4.5-5% tomorrow if he's lucky and gets pic advantage) but it's 1:40AM and I got sidetracked. -_- And just for the record, Kefka would own Wario so hard.

Of course the plus side here for me is that suddenly Zelos seems not THAT weak anymore(+5 happiness for me). No, it just means what I've been saying for a while now, there is no new/old Square SFF. It's why Zidane was so weak last year. He wasn't SFF'd at all by Crono and is likely to give Captain Falcon a good fight at best. And in retrospect, probably dooms my Ryu to the finals pick and was the reason Zero did so poorly in that fourpack last year. Vinny and Crono didn't really hurt eachother. |

Is it Kefka's fault he gets tough matches/Lettuce? Pac-Man he beat WITH LETTUCE. Knuckles he did alright against also with Lettuce. Fenix he probably would have beaten one on one, even with Lettuce.
