Match XLIII: Sora vs. Fox McCloud vs. Squall Leonhart vs. Yoshi

Last Round:

Sora – 39.14%
Fox McCloud – 30.46%
Chris Redfield – 23.84%
Tim – 6.57%

For Fox’s first non-Nintendo match since 2002 he did pretty good and has shown us that he can be a decent mid-carder, too bad it’s back to Nintendo matches again. Sora was nothing special. What really surprised me was Chris’ performance; if RE5 is as big as RE4 we could see another big jump next year. Still it’s nice to see that Resident Evil is getting some respect on this site.

Squall Leonhart – 45.06%
Yoshi – 32.82%
CATS – 15.25%
Nathan Drake – 6.87%

Well for the first time in contest history CATS was able to defeat someone though that was more Nathan’s weakness (1 vote in the first 118 votes) than CATS’ strength. Once again Squall shows off his power and what some people thought was going to be somewhat close became an easy win. With a doubles Nintendo vs. Square match Squall has easily become an even more favourite to get first.

Analysis:

I guess if you’re going to have LFF you might as well have it happening twice in an attempt to cancel the two out. This is probably one of the most stacked matches of the round so expect some kind of excitement or at least high vote totals. The most likely result is if one from each company advances, though anything can happen.

The one thing I can be sure about is that Fox won’t be advancing, he may avoid last (not likely), but he won’t advance. Out of the four characters in this match Fox is the weakest and the only way he’ll avoid last is if Sora gets SFF really hard. Fox has a lot of experience being in SFF matches and he’s done really well in them. Sure he’s always been the stronger character, but even in his match against Link Fox only got .5% less than what he was expected to get based on 2002 stats. I know using old stats is not a good idea, but all I’m saying is don’t be surprised if Fox is able to hold of Yoshi.

After his first match Squall became the huge favourite to take first. Beating Yoshi like he was nothing takes some skill that only a top rated character can do. When I made my bracket I had Yoshi edging Squall, but with a gap like that and Fox acting like an anchor I see no reason for my prediction to come true. Also I never knew Squall smiled in FFVIII, it doesn’t look good on him.

While I don’t see Yoshi getting first he should still be able to get second. Sora had Squall as a common opponent last year and with him in the poll he was only able to just beat Sub-Zero. In a one on one match I’d be cautious at choosing the winner, but Yoshi should have no problem here. Fox will be there to hold him back, but Yoshi is considered to be the fan favourite of the Mario series and a Nintendo fan favourite character so when it comes to LFF I don’t see his fans abandoning him over Fox.

Sora is the oddball in this match, he can get second or fourth, but he’s most likely to get third. Last year Sora was able to avoid being SFF by Squall, but LFF caused him to fall to near Sub-Zero’s level. Sora will keep it close with Yoshi, but upsetting someone while being on the ass end of LFF is very hard to accomplish, something I think Sora will fail to do.

For a match that includes no members of the noble nine it is pretty stacked. Also having two LFF going on at the same time will be interesting to watch as two characters tag-team their way to victory. In the end Squall and Yoshi should take the win on route with match against Cloud.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Yoshi > Squall

charmander6000’s Prediction: Squall – 35.35%, Yoshi – 27.52%, Sora – 22.16%, Fox – 14.97%

Division 6: Round 2 - Match 43 – Sora vs. Fox McCloud vs. Squall Leonhart vs. Yoshi

Moltar’s Analysis

Sora
Round 1 - 39.14% vs. Fox, Chris and Tim

“Squall? Not this **** again”

Fox
Round 1 - 30.46% vs. Sora, Chris and Tim

“A Mario character? Not this **** again”

Squall
Round 1 - 45.06% vs. Yoshi, CATS and Nathan

“Sora? Not this **** again”

Yoshi
Round 1 - 32.82% vs. Squall, CATS and Nathan

“let’s do this”

Well, this has always been an interesting match, and I’ve been looking forward to it since the bracket’s release. Round 1 put a lot of things on the table, so let’s run through that first.

First up, you have Square impressing and Nintendo disappointing. This is shown in Squall and Yoshi’s match, but not with Sora and Fox. Sora did as expected, pretty much, and Fox looked a little worse than expected, though that was more before of Chris being not crap. Honestly, this match really didn’t say much in terms of what to expect in Round 2. Sora needed a better performance to look like the favorite in Round 2, but with the numbers he pulled, it’s not like his chances were hurt.

Then again, it wasn’t Sora who needed to make himself look like the favorite, Yoshi did that just fine by stinking it up big time. He was expected to get pretty close to Squall, and instead, he gets beaten by about double the expected margin. I still have no clue what happened here other than some random Squall overperformance or something.

So Squall pretty much solidified himself to take first, but that was expected from most. The big question is “Who take second, Sora or Yoshi?” Before the contest, Yoshi was by far the favorite. We saw Squall SFF Sora last year, and we knew that Yoshi would SFF Fox. Now, with Yoshi’s weak Round 1 performance, some people doubt him and feel that Sora will survive the SFF and advance with Squall.

I’m not buying that. Last year, when you had Squall and Sora in the same match, and Aeris wasn’t dragging down Squall with her, Sora was beat down to 3% away from Sub-Zero. Now you bring Yoshi and Fox into the mix, and Yoshi definitely benefits not only from being the Nintendo favorite over Fox, but from just being plain stronger. When faced with SFF in this format last year, Yoshi looked good. Hell, even with Mega Man and Samus in the poll, Yoshi was still able to pull in 19% of the vote and take third over Scorpion. So I don’t see why he’d all of a sudden fail with it here.

Moltar’s Bracket Says: Squall > Yoshi

Moltar’s Prediction is: Squall: 35% - Yoshi: 29% - Sora: 25% - Fox: 11%



Yoblazer’s Analysis

Yet another grueling second round match. Calling these correctly is fun; missing them is torture. Let's see if I'll get lucky in this match between Sora, Fox, Squall, and Yoshi. I'll be doing something a bit different this time, though. Instead of analyzing our foursome as individuals, I'll first take a look at them as "teams" (Square vs. Nintendo) before breaking the teams up and looking at them as solos. First up, Square!

Squall and Sora put up about 56-58% on their respective opponents in the last round. All things being equal, one would believe that they would then put up a combined ~57% in this match. However, taking SFF into account yields different conclusions. Obviously, there has always been SFF between New Square characters, but it's nothing like good ol' fashioned Nintendo SFF, so I think Squall and Sora can hit the impressive 60% mark. After all, these two amassed a combined 51% on Sonic and Sub-Zero last year, so I have little doubt about them doing far better against a far worse duo. Heck, I was entertaining the thought of putting them >60, but I then remembered that Sephiroth + Big Boss couldn't even reach the high 50s on Mario + Fox last year, so 60 for these two seems like a healthy, challenging target.
Master Moltar | Posted 10/29/2008 8:14:25 PM | message detail
And just how will they do relative to each other? Well, in that same match against Sonic and Sub-Zero, Squall scored a relative 60% on Sora. There isn't much reason to expect a drastic change this year, but Squall's picture (lmao) looks mighty goofy, so I'll give Sora a teeny bit more respect. You're up, Nintendo!

If this match plays out how I envision it, the Nintendo guys won't be looking that great. After all, they'll be splitting a mere 40% of the vote between them. Yoshi is the huge bracket favorite, but it's now clear that he'll be starting this thing a few paces behind Sora. In order to make good on his favorite status, he has to really abuse his lesser teammate, Fox McCloud. Can he do it? Yeah, I think so. Fox has proven to pack some pop against the weaksauce Nintendo characters, but Yoshi is far higher up the pecking order. Yes, the furry flier crushed the likes of Captain Falcon and Wario, but watching Mario vanquish him with 81%+ was pretty telling, in my opinion. Now, I don't expect Yoshi to approach that level of dominance, but I do expect him to crack a relative 60% and then some.

Of course, going by the percentages I've allocated to the teams, that still makes the battle between Sora and Yoshi a heated one. For the third time in four days, I'm using the words "coin flip" to describe a match. In such a situation, I tend to go with the guy I prefer or the guy in my bracket. Yoshi's in my bracket. I prefer Sora. Decisions, decisions! Eh, let's give it to Yoshi and call it a day.

Sora - 25%
Fox McCloud - 14%
Squall Leonhart - 35%
Yoshi - 26%



Lopen’s Analysis

So, first of all, I have Yoshi beating Squall here because I'm idiot. I'm like "oh Sora will weaken Squall enough." I uhhh... forgot that Squall almost beat Sonic last year with Sora in the match. "Whoops." Oh, and Round 1.

That being said, people sayin that Sora holds up perfectly against Squall, they need to remember that last year in R2 Aeris was there. Now, Squall was both annoyed by Aeris pestering him to buy a flower and Sora giving him a lecture about LIGHT LIGHT HEARTS LIGHT. Flowers + hearts + light... oh gawd it's totally destroying Mr. Ellipse, all the cheer.

... so the point here, is that when Aeris left in R3, cheer levels went back to normal, and Squall owned Sora. I expect a similar owning here... in spite of Yoshi's cheer, which will be subdued by Fox. Will it be enough, though? Squall did rip Yoshi's head off last round. How bad, Timmy? Friggin 12%? Man, yeah, pretty sick. I, however, think Yoshi fans are a bit more blindly devoted than Sora fans, and will hold up better when the going gets tough. And Nintendo LFF is overrated when you're not a Smash exclusive... don't think Fox shouldn't be a problem.

Man, I hope not, though. Go Sora, kick that green bastard's ass! DIE YOSHI DIE.

Lopen's prediction:
Squall – 34.20%
Yoshi – 26.47%
Sora – 24.23%
Fox – 15.10%



Transience’s Analysis

looks like a good match today -- hilarious how bad Ryu bombed here. Ryu always does this stuff -- Sora, Riku and now this one. he's so damn hard to figure out despite never having any weird overlap.

tonight's match is two Nintendo, two Square. all things equal, the edge should go to Square -- their fans are more loyal, they've been doing better this contest, and the format in general seems to support them. we also get to see a Mario character threatened - it's not an ideal threat since Sora and Squall are in the same match, but Mario's been bombing left and right and Sora was already at Yoshi's level so the chance is certainly there.

the thing is, Fox is far less of a burden on Yoshi than Squall is on Sora. Fox is like Yoshi-lite, a fan fave that's in a third or fourth tier Nintendo series; Yoshi's got all that and then some and should SFF him pretty good. Sora can't claim to hold up too well with Squall.
HaRRicH | Posted 10/29/2008 8:14:36 PM | message detail
Yoshi gets more comfortable that charmander's prediction? I will be amazed if that happens. I'm pretty sure Yoshi/Sora is contested at least, and I like Sora in it personally. Go Yoshi, but...man, I don't think it's that easy.

the one weird thing here: Squall almost beat Sonic last year with Sora in the poll. if Squall and Sora actually have separate fanbases somehow, Sora's got this thing. can't see it happening though. Sora's got a decent core fanbase as demonstrated by Aeris/Squall/Sora last year, but it ain't good enough to hold up to Yoshi, I'm afraid.

Sora and Yoshi
equal strength, unequal split
too bad for Sora

transience's prediction:

Fox McCloud - 11.33%
Sora - 24.87%
Squall Leonhart - 36.35%
Yoshi - 27.45%




Ngamer’s Analysis

Awww man, what an awesome match. Ryu sure dropped the ball as far as the fatal threeway went (what the heck, Snake must just be that guy's kryptonite), but what a show Zero and Vivi have put on! When Zero got out to the big lead I wasn't sold- he'd done the same thing against Ryu before fading away, and Vivi figured to have the kind of huge night vote that we often see from FF8-9-10. But when it was four hours in and Zero not only had a huge lead but was still gaining, I threw in the towel on Vivi- no way you can come back from that without a MC-like day vote. Then I checked this aft and... Vivi was up by like 200, and gaining! I was amazed, but figured Zero could probably still take the ASV to pull out a narrow win. But then we were a full hour into what's usually the ASV, and Zero was doing nothing- still down a bunch, only going even, and since Vivi was sure to take the second night vote in any case, I threw in the towel on Zero. Then I got in from work an hour ago and... Zero back out to a big lead! This time around I'm holding on to my towel with a death grip; I've got no idea what to think anymore!

And, oh yeah, there's another potentially awesome match on the way for tonight!


X-Stats from Round One
Squall - 29.40% (based on '07 CATS)
Yoshi - 24.78% (based on '07 CATS)
Sora - 20.00% (based on '07 Chris)
Fox - 17.50% (based on '07 Chris)

Have to kind of hurry with this one as those last innings of the World Series (congrats Phils!) have put me a bit behind. Pre-Contest this was considered a pretty easy advancement for Squall and Yoshi, with the only question being what order they would go in. But after the way both Square guys dropped bombs on their Nintendo counterparts, all of a sudden Sora sneaking through here looks like at least a possibility, while it would take something truly crazy for Yoshi to pull the upset and finish first. A moment ago I was planning to predict Squall for a pretty easy win, Yoshi to advance but not with much room to spare ahead of Sora, and Fox to get SFFed pounded well out of contention. But now let's look at this pic...

Good heavens, what happened to you Squall!? For all the grief Tidus has taken over the years for looking like Meg Ryan, that's a MUCH worse look than anything the FFX lead has ever sported. Seriously, wow. Sora looks pretty goofy too, but he's at least saved by showing an anime look that seems to do pretty well with this GameFAQs crowd. Yoshi's pretty meh; not a bad picture for him but pretty generic. And Fox once again looks great! Of course I said the same last round and that didn't stop him getting beaten bloody... but yeah, I'd be very shocked if Yoshi was able to hurt him too badly with SFF when he comes out looking that good.

Soooo let's take those thoughts and throw something together quickly. Into the pot and stirred and what have we here...

Squall Leonhart - 31.76%
Yoshi - 25.17%
Sora - 23.06%
Fox McCloud - 20.01%

That looks... really bad! But I have no time to correct it! Come on Fox, prove me right.



Guest’s Analysis - Luster Soldier

First round performance

Sora - 1st place with 39.14%
Fox - 2nd place with 30.46%
Failed advances - Chris Redfield (3rd place with 23.84%) and Tim (4th place with 6.57%)
Master Moltar | Posted 10/29/2008 8:15:40 PM | message detail
Squall - 1st place with 45.06%
Yoshi - 2nd place with 32.82%
Failed advances - CATS (3rd place with 15.25%) and Nathan Drake (4th place with 6.87%)

I'll lay this down right from the start... first place and last place are both quite obvious here. Squall will have first and Fox will come in last. The battle for second will be between Yoshi and Sora.

In the first round, Squall performed a major beatdown on Yoshi, by about 12%. 45% is no joke here, when your next strongest opponent is a high tier Nintendo character. Sora also easily beat up Fox, but only by about 9%. I also think Sora might have underperformed a bit due to a bad picture. Sora had a picture where he showed off most of his back, but with almost no shot of his face. Now Sora gets a better picture showing off his face.

I picked Squall > Sora in my bracket, then I found out that it was considered a risk in the Guru. It wasn't until Nintendo started bombing hard this contest and then Squall's absolute destruction of Yoshi that I regained confidence in my Squall > Sora pick. Yoshi will not be advancing tomorrow. Tomorrow's match is a double-edged sword - SFF between Fox and Yoshi and also between Squall and Sora.

Yoshi shall have trouble trying to beat Sora for second place, because Fox will be there to SFF him. Yoshi is quite low on the tier lists for all three Smash games and Fox is higher up there. Fox is a more casual friendly option for Smash players, so Fox will drain Yoshi of his Smash support. With Fox and Yoshi choking each other, Sora should come out easily and dominate both of them in the ASV. Yoshi also has Brawl de-boost working against him too. SFF and Brawl de-boost will be the cause for Yoshi's downfall tomorrow.

Then the issue of SFF between Squall and Sora. I do not think Sora will be hurt by SFF at all. Just look at Squall's round 2 match from last year, which also had Sora involved. There, Sora finished within 4% of Squall and finished over 10% above Aeris. Lara Croft came pretty close to Aeris in that match. My theory on Squall is that he can SFF other FF characters, but can't SFF non-FF Square characters. Squall was able to SFF Aeris, while Sora remained unaffected. Squall and Aeris are featured in both of the main KH games, but I think Squall had more to do with Aeris looking bad last year. Squall and Aeris are both in the New Square category. Sora almost pulled off 30% here with two other Square characters in the match. Sora was quite vicious during the ASV, cutting Squall's lead from 5164 to 4343. With Square mostly overperforming this year, I expect Sora to have second place easily.

Luster Soldier's prediction: Sora - 25.33%, Fox - 15.54%, Squall - 34.82%, Yoshi - 24.31%



Crew Consensus: Even after Yoshi's poor performance last round, the majority still says Squall > Yoshi

So it looks like Zero managed to make a comeback in the evening to take 2nd place back from Vivi but Vivi really made Zero fight for it.

With him advancing now, it seems very likely WCC will advance in the next round as Zero and Mega Man will SFF each other below WCC's %.

Now the next match it seems a lotta people suddenly seem unsure of Squall, why is that?

I don't think that picture will hurt him much, the Snake pic of this match obviously didn't stop him from getting making 43% which normally would make BT close his account but that can't be since it seems Zero is advancing.

I still think it will be Squall>Yoshi but Sora can be as unpredictable as Yoshi at times so you never know.

It comes down to how badly Yoshi can SFF Fox. Yoshi did win both favorite Mario character polls, so he should be able to press Fox really low. He'll need to, because Sora > Yoshi 1v1, and Squall and Sora's fanbases should overlap less than those Yoshi and Fox. After Dissidia comes out, Squall just might put up 60% on Luigi 1v1 again!

Round 2

Division 6- Semifinal 1

Sora


lol clown shoes

Fox

Will he be Flopx, or will he stand up to the green machine?

Squall

Watch out Sora, Squall's out for your tight little bum!

Yoshi

I have to make sure this summary doesn't start with a T

Analysis:

Some people are hyping this match up, but I can't see it delivering. Sure Sora held up decently last year against Squall, but decent won't cut it unless Fox can really impress here, something he didn't do last round, and something Falco bombing doesn't help. Not to rule out the possibility of Sora advancing, but it ranks as not bloody likely on my upset scale.

Then again, if you had said Jill would be Revolver Ocelot, I would have ranked that even lower.

TuRtLe's Prediction: Squall 32%, Yoshi 26%, Sora 24%, Fox 18%
TuRtLe's Bracket: Squall > Yoshi (damn you autoflag)
TuRtLe's Vote: Squall

Yoshi is dead if Fox keeps up anything resembling this pace.
