Yeah, we finally know why Sonic team has such a great morning vote
while Mega Man/Crono's have sucked. Really puts those huge swings in
matches involving those 3 into perspective. Man does england suck. What's even odder is the differences between Canada and the US. I've noticed that Mega Man does better north of the border while Sonic does better to the south. If England didn't exist, Mega Man would have beaten Sephiroth. **** you england --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

Sora still ends up way too close to Squall in every match but one. It just perplexes me. Putting the idea of Sora starting to get some of the better end of SFF when it comes to his and Squall's roles in Kingdom Hearts (unlike in KH1, Sora > Squall in KH2 generally)... he and Squall have only had three matches together. One was when Aeris was involved (and she obviously was hurting Squall much more than she did Sora), and another was when Squall looked goofier than any of Sora's clown shoes. But the third one is the one that speaks volumes about the FFX/KH split, I think - when the chips came down to Squall vs Sonic, Sora's fanbase abandoned him in droves en route to Squall nearly upending a completely unhindered Sonic. I wouldn't make many assumptions about that match - but if FFX finds itself in trouble, it'll ravage every ounce of KH's husk in an attempt to pull it off. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

Oh, and I guess there was the Cloud match... but honestly, that's one
of Sora's biggest disappointments as far as I'm concerned. He had all
the opportunity in the world to finish ahead of Squall considering how
much we knew the guy already gets decimated by Cloud, and he did
nothing of the sort. --- turnturnturn your brain in turnturnturn your brain in |

Hm.. I wonder if Auron would SFF Sora now. FFX/KH does sound like a possibility now, but at the same time, there's still only one Nintendo option once again, but then there's no Cloud. I really don't know if Yoshi would have won if it was just Sora/Squall.. --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

Yoshi's percentage on Squall was remarkably consistent between rounds
(42.4% to 42.1%), though Fox dropped fairly significantly against Sora
(43.8% to 39.9%). That seems to suggest that the double SFF more or
less canceled out with Square getting a slightly better end of the
bargain...and that Yoshi would have likely done quite a bit better if
he didn't have Fox holding him back. In the FFX/KH match, the other two
games are very much unrelated to each other. --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

Sora, especially if KH3 comes out any time in the near future. Sora will be massive when that drops. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

With all that said, how much closer would have Yoshi came to beating Sora if that's the case? I'd say it would have been a close match perhaps. --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

Beats me. But there's definitely a split there, and it's about as bad as Yoshi/Fox, whatever that means. --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

Methinks that the stronger you are, the less the boost one gets from a new game. Meaning that KH3 may not do that much for Sora. --- "Here I go! Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |

well, I guess that will remain a mystery. Though Yoshi is clearly out of Squall's league in this format, but FFX/KH/Metroid Prime/MGS2 are actually all reasonably close. How awesome would it be if it was a four way finisher. We've yet to get that kind of match. --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

I think FFX wins that one; it's too far above the other games to lose from the LFF. Either Prime or MGS2 takes second. --- Hobbes: What's the point of attaching a number to everything you do? Calvin: If your numbers go up, it means you're having more fun. |
| MarioSuperstar | Posted 4/2/2009 7:12:50 PM | message detail |

how far above are we talking? FFX/WW are arguably a debatable match and WW scored 55% on Prime. --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |
| ZFS | Posted 4/2/2009 7:13:10 PM | message detail |

Yeah, I agree there. I've always thought FFX would take first in that
one, then either MGS2 or MP for second. I think MGS2 is probably
stronger than Prime today, but between the standout factor and whatever
weirdness might happen with FFX and MGS2 (something I think is a
possibility, anyway), Prime's probably a good bet there. Don't think
FFX has anything to worry about, with it being so much stronger than
this group. --- doth thou desire the power |

it's weird, nobody was even entertaining Prime until like a week ago;
now it seems to almost be the consensus. I think it might be a case of
stats topic overthinking. --- xyzzy http://i42.tinypic.com/2vbwhn4.jpg |

FFX/TWW isn't really a debatable match, if you ask me -- FFX should win
that without much trouble. Twilight Princess is the debatable one, I
think. --- doth thou desire the power |

I've had Prime there since I first saw my bracket. The pick made perfect sense to me. Either way, FFX and Prime are advancing. --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

well, i'm sure back then it would have been no more than a 51/49 afair.
FFX is above all of these games, but unless they dropped or FFX gained,
I wouldn't really say it's that high. --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

I've still got MGS2 advancing there, but Prime's probably the safe
pick, even if it's more than likely not the second strongest game. --- doth thou desire the power |

I'd like to know where all this MGS2 confidence is coming from. Do
people think that just because Snake no longer sucks that all the MGS
games are going to explode? --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

I'm not nearly as up on MGS games as some people here are, but there
shouldn't be too much doubt that Metal Gear as a whole has seen a big
rise in popularity since 2004. --- doth thou desire the power |
| MarioSuperstar | Posted 4/2/2009 7:20:20 PM | message detail |

Well logically, if Snake grows as a character and becomes accustomed to
an entirely new fanbase. Then, has a PS3 exclusive game nearly beat the
most anticipated on GameFAQs, i'm pretty sure MGS has grown since 2004. Whether MGS2 gets the boost or not is debatable, but it likely did. --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |

FFX/WW may or may not have been close in 2004 depending on just how
much Starcraft improved from round 3 to round 4, but I don't think it'd
have any trouble with it today. I'd guess FFX beats Prime worse than
60-40 today. --- Hobbes: What's the point of attaching a number to everything you do? Calvin: If your numbers go up, it means you're having more fun. |

afair. FFX is above all of these games, but unless they dropped or FFX
gained, I wouldn't really say it's that high. I don't trust Starcraft's strength and therefore WW's. After its surprise win against WW Starcraft had 4 days of hype before its match against Melee. By that time it was Melee vs battlenet. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls Submit BOP here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=48529509 |

If WW/FFX happened in '04, it would have been close. Now, I'd give it to FFX 60/40 --- Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy. -trancer1 |

You don't have to look at Starcraft. Shenmue and Skies of Arcadia are pretty comparable fodder. --- *is Dranze* Through fire, justice is served because FastFalcon05 owned my bracket. |
