Leonhart, I can't find where you mentioned my Kirby > Sonic
post...but I was saying that to argue against Dante > Sonic; if
Dante can duke it out with Sonic and Kirby's beating Dante this clearly
today, then Kirby could slip by Sonic. I don't think that will happen,
however, so that was the point I wanted to make. I'm seeing Sephiroth > Sonic, but it depends on what we see Sonic do tomorrow. He should get through easily enough...but still, Auron will certainly do better against Sephiroth than Tifa. Whether that means he can beat Sonic again or still lose to Kratos, I dunno...but I think he'll barely beat Kratos. --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

From: Kullstrom Yeah a guy behind the towering forces of Lucario and Mewtwo would do that alright. Pikachu wouldn't even get 50% there. I love how you consider that he'd be against a washed up character who would probably not even beat Crash Bandicoot, a FF character post-X, and a Star Wars guy. But of course, Pikachu could NEVER score 50% in a match of all these winners! --- Biolizard28: The cream of Fire Emblem fanboyism. ALLEN LIED! PEOPLE LOST THEIR ABILITY TO CONTEST! |

Lara's hardly "washed up". Legend was nothing but well received and
Crash is hardly bottom rung fodder either, sounds like you just have a
thing against playstation icons. >_> Maybe it's wishful thinking but I'd like to think that the majority of GF users wouldn't vote a random dragon over probably the biggest gaming icon from 95-2000 and a Final Fantasy lead. Hell he/she/it probably should beat the star wars dude though. n_n --- Look right through me, Look right through me. |

Match LVI: Auron vs. Sonic the Hedgehog vs. Sephiroth vs. Kratos Last Round: Auron – 34.64% Sonic the Hedgehog – 29.69% Sub-Zero – 20.52% Sandbag – 15.15% Auron beating Sonic wasn’t that unexpected, but the amount that he defeated him by was. You couldn’t even blame Sandbag on this because how badly Sonic was beaten. Speaking of joke characters Sandbag folded pretty badly last round and couldn’t even give Sub-Zero a fight, though with L-Block falling and WCC needing a rally to win I guess now we can say that the result was sort of expected. Sephiroth – 41.53% Kratos – 24.25% Tifa Lockheart – 20.06% Jill Valentine – 14.16% In the sign of real strength Sephiroth decides to step it up causing Tifa to take a drop in strength relative to last round. Actually if Tifa was able to be constant to Sephiroth last round she would have beaten Kratos. I guess SFF works in weird ways. Jill looked better last round though I guess most last place characters tend to underperform or maybe FFVII has an overlap with RE. Analysis: Final match of the round and for the second time this round we have two noble nine characters going at it with a potential noble nine breaker trying to work his magic. To end this round, like last round we’ll have two stronger characters with a fanbase overlap while the weaker character attempts to speed into second. Despite being hurt for a third time by fanbase overlap Sephiroth should have no problems taking first. Sephiroth is on the head end of this overlap and he would have to be massively affected to lose to Sonic. Last round Tifa, who obviously has more overlap with Sephiroth didn’t cause Kratos to give Sephiroth a scare. I’m not saying that Sonic is close to Kratos, but Sephiroth and Auron will have even less overlap and Sonic would have to make a 17 point jump from Kratos just to catch up. While Sephiroth is out of reach Auron isn’t. Sonic really dropped the ball last round though the performances of other Sonic characters and his round one performance were all pointing in this direction. Sonic gets a second chance and will hopefully utilize it. Last year Auron had the unfortunate path of meeting Cloud and while we should have made it to round 4 it was Ryu who benefitted. Well last round Sonic was able to do better on Auron than Ryu did in round 2 which speaks well for his chances. Well Nintendo characters were screwed in the upper half of the bracket the same can be said about Square characters in the lower half. First Squall and now Auron is next to be eliminated earlier than needed to be because of fanbase overlap. The only chance Auron has is to hope that Sephiroth won’t affect him as much as Cloud did and even if that is true Sonic needs a smaller shift than Ryu to advance to round 4. Kratos won’t be doing much in this match. Maybe if Auron is hit by SFF worse than he was last year Kratos would have a chance for an upset, but there’s no chance that he’s going to sneak in second. The only thing interesting about Kratos that I will be watching is his board vote. Not being much of a favourite and having no bracket support we could see this guy start with sub-10% before attempting to make his performance look respectable. Sephiroth walks out of this division with barely a scratch while Sonic tries to regain some dignity after his loss against Auron. Next round there’s no fanbase overlap for Sonic to work with and if anything it will work against him with Kirby being in the match. After this match we’ll be down to our final week and we’re down to 6 Nintendo vs. 5 Square (or shall I say 4 FFVII and Crono) vs. 5 Others, only one will win. charmander6000’s Bracket: Sephiroth > Sonic charmander6000’s Prediction: Sephiroth – 35.64%, Sonic – 24.32%, Auron – 22.43%, Kratos – 17.61% |

Man, what a disappointing day vote from MC. I mean, yeah, you can't
expect too many votes to actually be cut when you're down a solid 4-5%
to start the morning, but he only gained ~2% with it, that may be his
worst ever. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 3 - Dante/Leon/Kirby. Target: 48%. Robot LFF/SFF from Raiden? I THINK SO. Believe |

Are you all considering exactly how difficult it is to score 50% in a
match? Even with Amaterasu, Little Mac, and an f'ing MII, Dante
couldn't hit that mark. Now people are expecting PIKACHU to do better?
Please, someone show me the logic. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

Sonic lost to Auron, a guy out of Dante's league with a SSB and Genesis
character in the poll, I doubt he'd lose to him 1v1 and he certainly
wouldn't have a problem with Dante even with Kirby there. --- Look right through me, Look right through me. |

I think the best way of gauging Dante in comparison to the near elite
is his 2005 match with Vincent. I think it went 54-46. Dante might be
stronger since then, but I think Auron might be stronger than that
Vincent as well. Either that or Sonic dropped off big time. There is a
shot, but not a really great one. --- -Heals severely dry skin -18 hour moisturization -Fragrance free -With Vitamin E |
