Squall looks recognizable enough to me, it's just that the picture is
situated such that it cuts off the top of his head, which is kind of
bugging me for reasons I can't fathom. Are we really looking at that much hardcore SFF next round here, though? Last year, I was expecting Squall to SFF Sora into the ground thanks to not only being Squall but also having a large role in Sora's own game--but Sora held up really well. Slightly different fanbases overall, I'd say, and they're different enough characters that people who love Sora might dislike Squall and vice versa. And Yoshi and Fox will SFF some being Nintendo, but it's not like they're from the same series or even like their games are all that similar in style. --- Attention, all yoctograms! (It's x2) DIE! |

Alright, so I went ahead and implemented what I promised earlier in the
topic: A standardized ranking of popularity between years. What I did was first take the vote totals for every match in each contest and throw out the totals that didn't pass Grubb's test [http://www.graphpad.com/quickcalcs/GrubbsHowTo.cfm ] as those are significant outliers that could cause a large change in the mean/standard deviation for each contest. I did computed an adjusted mean/deviation from the remaining matches, and then used that to standardize each match by how many deviations they were from the mean. Interestingly enough, only three matches were significant enough to fail the outlier test: Mario/Cloud 2k2 , Link/Cloud 2k3, and Link/Cloud 2k4. Also, I haven't done 2k7 yet. Previous years had stuff like http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/drupal/node/39 that made it relatively straight forward to import into excel, but I couldn't find any such equivalent for 2007. When I stop being lazy I'll go back and add that year in by hand. =) A positive score means a match was more popular than average (higher the better). A negative score means it was less popular than average. In any case, here's the top 25. I have the full list (448 matches) if requested. 5.926095493 Link Cloud Strife 2004 4.824320372 Cloud Strife Link 2003 4.549388138 Mario Cloud Strife 2002 3.145327054 Mario Crono 2003 2.993459875 Battle Royale 1 2006 2.932509448 Mario Crono 2002 2.88296334 Link Cloud Strife 2005 2.851017293 Link Sephiroth 2005 2.737087719 Sephiroth Ganondorf 2005 2.717725068 Starcraft Halo 2004 2.617001717 Cloud Strife Samus Aran 2004 2.591195961 Link Sephiroth 2002 2.588960657 The Legend of Zelda Final Fantasy 2006 2.535640277 Final Fantasy Super Mario Bros. 2006 2.438237616 Link Cloud 2006 2.359487758 Battle Royale 4 2006 2.337617697 Sephiroth Mario 2005 2.324392003 Crono Solid Snake 2002 2.251196059 Link Mario 2002 2.199339375 Final Fantasy VII Suikoden II 2004 2.188873691 Sephiroth Mega Man 2002 2.179167748 Sephiroth Samus Aran 2002 2.162854338 Cloud Strife Sephiroth 2003 2.13405258 Sephiroth Mega Man 2003 2.090139775 Sephiroth Bowser 2005 ... and -2.099562256 Vyse Laharl 2004 at the very bottom! |

Dabu, I wrote a script to harvest and rank data from last year, and you
might be able to use the data file for the 2007 stuff. Here's the

Division 6: Round 1 - Match 22 – CATS vs. Nathan Drake vs. Squall Leonhart vs. Yoshi Moltar’s Analysis CATS Game/Series Known From: Zero Wing 2007 Results: 4th Place in Round 1 vs. Sephiroth, Meta Knight and Peach The longest-lasting joke character returns! Nathan Game/Series Known From: Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune 2007 Results: N/A Another PS3-exclusive character, another 4th place finish Squall Game/Series Known From: Final Fantasy VIII 2007 Results: 1st Place in Round 1vs. Aeris, Akuma and Geno 1st Place in Round 2 vs. Sora, Aeris and Lara 2nd Place in Round 3 vs. Sonic, Sora and Sub-Zero 4th Place in Round 4 vs. L-Block, Solid Snake and Sonic Squall looked really good last year. Will it continue here? Yoshi Game/Series Known From: Super Mario 2007 Results: 1st Place in Round 1vs. Knuckles, Rikku and Vaan 2nd Place in Round 2 vs. Mega Man, Knuckles and KOS-MOS 3rd Place in Round 3 vs. Samus, Mega Man and Scorpion Brawl Character #23, Yoshi’s proven to be strong in this format. This is where L and the Cube should have been put instead of CATS and Nathan. Anyway, CATS makes his yearly Contest appearance. Yet again, it’s in a match where he stands no chance of advancing. So he’ll get his usual 10-12% and bow out gracefully (even with jokefaqs I can’t see cats doing anything out of the ordinary). Nathan is from Uncharted, a PS3 game. It’s liked by Sony fans, but…that’s about it. Honestly, I won’t be surprised if CATS takes third here. The top two spots are going to Squall and Yoshi. Both did very well last year, even in the face of multiple-SFF matches. Squall will most likely end up on top since he’s a bit stronger than Yoshi, but I’m hoping Yoshi can get first. Moltar’s Bracket Says: Squall > Yoshi Moltar’s Prediction is: Squall: 41% - Yoshi: 38% - CATS: 12% - Nathan: 9% Heroic Mario’s Analysis Not too much to talk about in this one. This is probably the first "big" Nintendo/Square match of the contest. Although there's been plenty of instances where a so-called "Brawl de-boost" has been validated, it'll be more apparent here than in any other match. If there was a Brawl boost in effect here, you'd probably see more people backing Yoshi for the upset, or at least giving him a real shot at pulling it off. With the way this contest has gone, though, I doubt anyone's going to bite on it. I'm thinkin' Squall puts up some big numbers here. Given how these two are near equals, or close to it, a good 10% gap here will be an impressive showing. It's probably on the higher end of what will happen, but Nintendo characters have underperformed more than they have underperformed -- best to trust in it happening again. This won't matter in the long run since Squall's in the same division as Cloud, but it should put to rest some of the debate in round 2 between who wins with Sora in the picture. What happens with Nathan and CATS isn't too important, though it'll probably be more entertaining to see how comes in third than who comes in first. Nathan probably isn't going to be worth much of anything, unfortunately. I'm taking him for third here out of bias more than anything. He could be under 10% here or nearing 20% -- it just depends on much the PS3 fanbase backs him. He's probably another Jak / Ratchet kinda character. CATS will do what he always does. Prediction: Squall - 40% ; Yoshi - 29% ; Nathan Drake - 17% ; CATS - 14% Bracket: Squall > Yoshi Vote: Nathan Drake |

Yoblazer’s Analysis Another painfully predictable match, but there's a silver lining (if you can call it that). We're only a few days away from Big Boss/Kirby, which should hold us over until the Hogger match and Sandbag's hotly anticipated debut. We'll get there, boys. We'll get there. Today's match won't feature any heated races for first or second place, but it will give us an opportunity to see two power players, Squall and Yoshi in action. Yoshi had an excellent 2007 contest, as he killed Knuckles in Round 1, outlasted him in Round 2, and beat Scorpion in Round 3 despite a triple fanbase split. Good as he was, however, he was still upstaged by Squall Leonhart. Squall easily won the matches he was supposed to win and twice came within striking distance of defeating Sonic and really turning the Noble 9 on its heels. They both impressed, but judging by their recent results, Squall is clearly a step ahead of the lovable dino. Couple that with the fact that Nintendo has been a tad disappointing overall this year, and I expect to see a very comfortably win for Mr. Leonhart. Our other contestants will not be gobbling up much percentage. They are CATS, beloved contest veteran and the grandfather of all joke entrants, and Nathan Drake, a who-gives-a-crap from Uncharted, a PS3 exclusive. CATS will not be in contention here. I know this because he has never beaten anyone in six years. Nathan Drake will also not contend. I know this because we had a guy named Nathan from a PS3 exclusive last year, and he bombed to hell and back. In fact, Nathan Drake will finish in last place by a sizable margin and would be lucky to wait CATS... never beaten anyone... Nathan Drake... guaranteed for last place... In A.D. 2101 War was beginning. Captain: What happen ? Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb. Operator: We get signal. Captain: What ! Operator: Main screen turn on. Captain: It's you !! CATS: How are you gentlemen !! CATS: All your base are belong to us. CATS: You are on the way to destruction. Captain: What you say !! CATS: You have no chance to survive make your time. CATS: Ha ha ha ha .... CATS - 14% Nathan Drake - 7% Squall Leonhart - 43% Yoshi - 35% Lopen’s Analysis Them being of propaganda will spread word of truly loss CATS. Words being only of salty composition, faulted in citation of the contest previous. Truly, in which CATS base sent of bewildering to enemy third, 11% merely, but factors of similar fandom were lost. What of years current analysis presently fails of reservation is in following the statement: Those of jokingly entry will bloom in AD 2008 battle. Performing of higher calibrations in the round 1, in the path of L shaped Block and Cube Weights. Nathan Drake have no chance to survive make his time. Ha ha ha ha... Of what tropical reptile conquest of ellipses? One of surviving to the fourth in prevailing battle, one to the third. Almost will lossing to Sonic the Hedgehog, the other to Scorpion. Nintendo entering the Brawl has not quartered that of Dissidia unrelease, a truth of flopping performance. Credits of less risky venture goes upon that of the ellipse. Know this being fierce conviction and lovely destruction of the green demon. Lopen's Prediction: Taking of Squall obtain and 36.50% Taking of Yoshi obtain and 33.24% Taking of CATS obtain and 21.01% Taking of Nathan Drake obtain and 11.25% Transience’s Analysis Squall and Yoshi. the other two here are pretty much garbage - CATS will get its 10% unless something weird happens, and Nathan Drake looks like he could be sub-Tim, a true accomplishment. CATS may actually beat someone for the first time in eight tries. whatever. |

| Squall and Yoshi. Squall is the stronger
character, nearly beating Sonic despite Sora being in the poll last
year. Yoshi's a weird one, though - this is a format that he will
absolutely thrive in thanks to his fan favourite status. we've seen it
many times before, Yoshi beating Mario in those old Mario polls and
standing up to Mega Man last year despite getting doubled previously.
with absolutely nothing holding Yoshi back here, he could surprise..
but it's tough to expect him to get more than the 40%-ish that Squall's
going to push in. fan-favourite status can only go so far, and then
there's the whole BRAWL DE-BOOST thing oh god stop it everyone Yoshi's probably going to scare Squall at first thanks to having maybe the best early vote of any character that isn't an inanimate object. Squall should be able to roll over Yoshi from then on, but those first few minutes could be exciting. CATS beats Nathan Drake Square beats Nintendo again boring division transience's prediction: Squall with 43.67%, Yoshi with 38.55%, CATS with 11.11%, Nathan Drake with 6.67% Ngamer’s Analysis Hmm... well my upset didn't end up working out, but at least Fox validated himself as a legit Nintendo mid-carder with this performance. This should end any debate about him finishing behind the Donkey Kong's of the world, and it's cool that in only a couple weeks we'll be able to see how he stacks up against that higher tier that Yoshi represents. Actually this was a dang good showing for him- he put up a very strong fight during the ASV and it was actually his best time during the whole poll, which is incredible considering how easily KH has owned that timeframe ever since 2005. If only he hadn't fallen apart so badly overnight, we could have had a real match on our hands here. Darn those Europeans! Now we move on to another match where a strong Square guy ought to likewise finish 5ish points ahead of the not quite as strong Nintendo option. But far from being dull, this is actually a pretty interesting setup for a very odd reason: we might be in for a classic battle... for third place! Oh boy! Last Known Values Squall - 35.43% (2007) Yoshi - 32.27% (2007) CATS - 14.87% (2007) Nathan - new As we well know, both Squall and Yoshi are studs in general, but especially in this format. Y has got strong credentials- he owned Knuckles with ease, refused to cave to Mega Man, and even the combined N appeal of MM and Samus didn't kill him entirely. And yet, Squall's creds are even better- he smashed Aeris, beat up on Sora, and very nearly "broke the Noble Nine" by edging out Sonic in that crazy L-Block poll. If Yoshi is able to pound Fox with SFF hard enough, I give him a great shot of sneaking ahead of Squall thanks to Sora most likely putting up a better fight. But here in the first round, where both should be unhindered and performing at full strength? Nay, can't see Yoshi taking a serious run at him, although he should be able to use the Day Vote to look plenty respectable. |

| The real slugfest here will be for that
meaningless Bronze Medal, as I hinted earlier. CATS is hard to peg...
clearly he's got a strong fanbase of around 10% that will support him
over anyone, and clearly you'd think that a guy like him could excel in
this format, but we heard these same arguments back in '07. Some even
were able to keep a straight face while picking him to upset both Meta
Knight and Peach... whoops! You'd think we'd have learned our lesson,
but with this being The Year of the Joke Character, can you entirely
count out the Godfather of All Jokes? I don't know, but one thing I DO
know is that I'm not going to be counting on Nathan Drake to be worth
much of anything in this format, or any format for that matter.
Uncharted reviewed well enough, and apparently it eventually sold over
1 million, but adventure characters have never struck much fear in my
heart. PS3
adventure characters, with generic names and looks from new series that
hardly anyone on the site will have played? Yeah, CATS sure seems to
have an ace up his sleeve here. And yet... it's CATS. Yes sir, this is certainly a toughie. In the end though I think I'm going to put my faith in the joke, though in reality it's more a case of putting my lack of faith in the PS3. And when you put that in the pot and stir slightly, the result is Squall Leonhart - 38.24% Yoshi - 34.06% CATS - 13.86% Nathan Drake - 13.84% Think of it like this year's Phoenix/Bomberman. You see my drift! Delicious. Ngamer Says: Squall > Yoshi Guest’s Analysis - SFF_potential This is one of the more predictable matches of round 1. We have two strong characters, Yoshi and Squall, but one of them is noticeably stronger than the other, there is also this matches new character, Nathan Drake, and CATS. First and second are already decided, Squall, is one of the strongest characters outside of the noble nine, and he came close to Sonic last year (twice), so he should have trouble getting out of this fourpack. Yoshi is obvious for the other spot, and should be very close to Squall, he is a fan favourite from the Mario series, and is at about the same level as Dante, who made the semi-finals last year. He has also had Brawl and Mario Kart Wii come out in the last year, but i don't think he'll be strong enough to beat Squall without some help from another character. The only interesting thing from these two is to see if Yoshi is close enough to Squall to beat him in round 3 with Cloud taking away a good amount of Squalls support, or if Yoshi is far enough away that Sora can get by him for second in the next round. The other match here is to see if Nathan Drake(from Uncharted:Drakes fortune, a PS3 exclusive) is weak enough to lose to CATS. CATS is technically another joke character but will not be as strong as some of the other ones we've seen, mostly because he is an actual character. He is also one of the few characters to appear in every contest(including the villains one), so we know how strong he'll be, which is quite weak, but he should get over 12% from the people who will vote for him over anyone else. Nathan Drake reminds me of another Nathan also from a PS3 game, Nathan Hale, who got doubled by Laharl. Although the PS3 has become more popular here in the last year it is still last of all the current consoles, but the increase in ownership will put him above Nathan Hale from last year. I think he'll be weak, not Tales of the Abyss weak, but too weak to get much % against two strong characters and CATS, although he could break 10%, he won't be getting enough to beat CATS, although he could surprise and be strong enough to not be fodder, but even then he will still be closer to CATS than Yoshi. I'm taking CATS to beat him here though, and do so comfortably. Prediction: Squall > Yoshi CATS- 12.45% Nathan Drake-10.07% Squall Leonhart-40.86% Yoshi-36.62% |

Again, I'd like to apologize for making such terrible CATS and Drake
pics. The CATS one was a product of some weird Eggplant CATS paranoia I
had, and that pic came to life because of it. The Nathan one was
"supposed" to be an improvement over my older, ****tier one, but it
ended up just as bad, so Bacon only had two ****ty pics to pick from
and he actually picked the one that was slightly better. Don't complain
that I was the only one that bothered actually making him a pic. So yeah, completely my bad. On the other hand I had badass Squall and Yoshi pics that he skipped over. What the hell, Bacon? --- (|| ' ' ||) Not changing my sig until EBA2/Ouendan 3 is announced. (4/22/08) . /|_|\ http://imgcake.com/img/40/all_eba.jpg |

Biolizard28 (#065) Dude, these weren't jokes. One was a mistake and one was me actually trying and failing. Not like Nathan had much to work with... --- (|| ' ' ||) Not changing my sig until EBA2/Ouendan 3 is announced. (4/22/08) . /|_|\ http://imgcake.com/img/40/all_eba.jpg |
