If Ryu win, it will be just a slight majority.. But, it hard to tell in 2nd round... Maybe he will spring an upset?? |

Zero's gonna need bigger cuts than that if he wants to somehow win this. Which is very unlikely. --- Today's prediction: what am I fighting fooooooor 35.30% - Ryu H 33.90% - Spit 15.65% - Dedede 15.15% Status: Good |

Yeah, in 2k5 Hayabusa was able to take the ASV over Zero (though not
decisively). Since then, Zero hasn't kept any more relevant while
Hayabusa is refreshed with NG2 on the 360. It should be pretty
favorable for Hayabusa in comparison to three years ago when he still
had the advantage. --- Lobby Hero http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/3079/lobbyheroauditionflyerssv6.jpg |

Ryu Hayabusa Zero Kratos Bowser Who you got? Oh man, that's a tough one...I think I'd go with...Bowser > Hayabusa? I really don't know. I think that Bowser should win this, despite how badly he's performed in the past. And yeah, Zero's done. Good job, Hayabusa. I'm not sold on Pit and DeDeDe hindering Zero here either. Not likin' Vivi's chances of beating either one next round. He got owned by Leon Kennedy twice last year. Speaking of Leon, do you take him over Zero or Hayabusa here? --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

I got Bowser > Kratos there. Kratos is becoming one of the strongest of the non noble 9 I would've said that until DK's performance the other day, which suddenly makes Kratos's performance last year less impressive. He didn't beat Riku that decisively last year either. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 1: CATS, Nathan Drake, Yoshi |

LeonhartFour (#166) I expect Kratos to be even stronger this year due to having Chains of Olympus, the best selling PSP game of all time, and highest rated PSP game as well. --- Albion Hero http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |
| PartOfYourWorld | Posted 10/6/2008 9:59:57 AM | message detail |

Chains of Olympus sold well enough to seemingly keep Kratos going
strong (860,000 in the US according to lolVGChartz), but it isn't among
the best selling PSP games yet. Maybe eventually. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I knew it sold well, but I didn't realize it was received well. Nice;
between that and the much-increased PS3-ownership (even if no GoW-games
are on it yet), Kratos should be set to look sharp this year. Watch out, SFF'd Tifa. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

Speaking of Leon, do you take him over Zero or Hayabusa here? Eh...I'll say yes due to him beating down Vivi last year. Still, he'd be good to see face either of these characters. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

HaRRicH (#170) I think its a given that it'll be Sephy > Kratos in round 2, because even without SFF, Tifa should do only like 55-45 on Kratos, but with Sephy there, no contest. --- Albion Hero http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |
| HaRRicH | Posted 10/6/2008 10:35:33 AM | message detail |

Tifa would only 55-45 Kratos? I have a hard time believing that...I would think she'd get more. Then again, I also have little fear that Kratos beats Tifa like this. The only way I see Tifa beating Kratos is if Sephiroth can affect Kratos through the virtue of sharing many fans through their big games. It seemed to work for Sephiroth against Liquid, for example, with that FF7/MGS theory... ...but there's no way I'm relying on that. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

Tifa (2005c) VS Kratos (2007c) Tifa has a strength of 33.57. Kratos has a strength of 27.44. Tifa wins with 59.13% of the vote! A win of 22,057 with 120,794 total votes cast. Well I was kinda close. But I think Seph/Tifa will look like the Link/Zelda SFF beat down we had in round 2 last year. --- Albion Hero http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |
| PartOfYourWorld | Posted 10/6/2008 10:40:56 AM | message detail |

I'd be shocked if Tifa folded like that. Link vs. Zelda/Ganondorf is a
pretty special contest relationship. Those two are pretty damn strong,
and Link SFFs them like Mario would SFF Birdo. --- Yoblazer: NO LIMITZ Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Ryu Hayabusa Zero Kratos Bowser Bowser > Kratos without too much effort or concern. I think Kratos is a clear step ahead of Ryu/Zero, and with three badasses + Bowser, it doesn't matter what deficiencies Bowser has had in the past in 4-ways to me. Really he's only looked bad thanks to terrible fanbase overlap, I think it's much exaggerated how bad he is in this format. This is coming from someone who took Ryu > Bowser last year, and Luigi > Bowser this. --- all hail ec your lord and savior |

For what it's worth, assuming Hayabusa = Riku last year, Kratos beat
Riku by ~3% with Solid/L in the match. NG2 is going to be a bigger
release for Hayabusa than GoW:CoO too, so -- while I'd probably faovir
Kratos there -- I wouldn't think Hayabusa is a clear step below Kratos
in this format anymore. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

I agree that "Bowser is bad in this format" is a myth. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
| HaRRicH | Posted 10/6/2008 11:26:42 AM | message detail |

I also agree about the Bowser myth...for the most part. I do think
one-on-one favors him a bit more, but ultimately he was brought down by
big LFF in the first round and was against big fan-favorites in his
second round match (even Shadow in the Sonic series, though that's the
only stretch)...Bowser doesn't have that same kind of favoritism to get
many people to say he's somebody's favorite from the Mario series. I think Bowser will show Luigi he's still solid enough with this format though; they'll be close, but I'm still favoring Bowser. Liquid may mess things up though...but still, Bowser should look better than last year. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

Wow, Hayabusa's on pace to get a higher percent here than he got against Zero alone. o_o --- http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g320/HowDisturbing/stayawhile.jpg Stay a while and breathe me in. |

That's pure proof that Zero is losing support to SSBB-fighters.
Therefore, he is going to kill Hayabusa once they're replaced by Vivi
and Solid Snake..... --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

Or pure proof that Ryu is stronger than he used to be... and Zero
weaker. You can use these results to say a variety of things. There's
no way it 100% indicates DDD/Pit hurting him. --- all hail ec your lord and savior |

wasn't this match over at 7 AM this morning? oh well. for as much as I
love my bracket (and I do), I've never wanted to see an upset so much
that wasn't in my favor. I've never even played Gaiden, and I still was
elated to see Ryu doing so well last night. This probably has something
to do with Turtle ingraining a subconscious hatred of Zero in my brain. --- all hail ec your lord and savior |
