Good thing Master Chief is no Solid Snake! I would have thought the match would be more even in the Guru at least, though. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |

From: red sox 777 | #197 Yep. I do think Pit and Dedede hurt Zero more (which is why I think Zero is still a bit ahead 1v1), I would never dream of taking Chief over Zero in a standard match. That, and this 12 hour format just seems like a godsend to the people who love anti-voting Chief and booting him early. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I
took MC>Ryu with the full expectations of it being a day vote.
Considering the day vote has generally been diluted all contest, I have
to call Ryu the favorite at this point. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

Master
Chief is not the character to steal away Hayabusa's 'badass' vote.
There are choice few characters who will do that and Chief ain't one of
them. --- wheresoever you go, go with all your heart |

If
Chief loses to Hayabusa, I will say this: I will never take him again
against anyone or anything of any appreciable strength. EVER. I don't care if the match is Master Chief vs Arbiter. Chief will find a way to choke --- turnturnturn your brain in http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

From: ZFS | #204 Ryu H gets most of his support from Xbox. Chief is the face of 360 and always considerd one of the most badass characters in gaming (just look at any top 10 badasses in gaming out there). Ryu H will fold.

MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 1/26/2010 7:59:53 PM | message detail |
not
really worth arguing though if people honestly think Ryu H is stronger.
Nothing Ryu H has ever done has made him look stronger then Chief of
post 360. I would never take Ryu H to be anywhere near close to Kirby
or Dante like Chief was even last year. People are too wrapped up with
early Chief to realize he's gotten a lot stronger over the years. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/24ytvz8.png Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli Fanboyism |

Hayabusa has really freakin' impressed in his last two contests whenever he wasn't pitted against Solid Snake. Chief took a major
tumble last year, and I expect him to keep falling. I don't care how
naturally weak Spy is, I expect him to tear a huge percentage out of
the Xbox mascot tomorrow. --- turnturnturn your brain in http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

KamikazePotato | Posted 1/26/2010 8:04:27 PM | message detail |
From: MyWorldIsCrono | #216 Hell yes I would. Chief is ass overnight, Valve has grown even more since last year, Chief is a big anti-vote target while Spy is universally likable. Spy got 42% on Subby in the vote-in polls. Potential rallying. And finally, but most important, it's Chief. I mean, that's the kind of match Chief would TRY to choke in. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

PartOfYourWorld | Posted 1/26/2010 8:05:44 PM | message detail |
I'm predicting Spy hits the high 30s (if not more), and it won't all be due Chief Chokin'. Valve/Steam has gotten far
more popular the last few months with all of their incredible sales
during the holidays. I'm guessing TF2 was snagged by about a zillion
new people when Valve offered it for two dollars and fifty cents. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Now,
all this being said, and my adamant belief that Hayabusa is a clear cut
above Chief... I think MC has the decisive SFF advantage within the
Xbox fanbase. It's why I took him. Yes, I am explicitly relying on rSFF

Match XXIII: (7) Ryu Hayabusa vs. (10) Crash Bandicoot Information Name: Ryu Hayabusa Game/Series: Ninja Gaiden Previous Contest: 2008 Performance: 4th in round 2 Name: Crash Bandicoot Game/Series: Crash Bandicoot Previous Contest: 2008 Performance: 3rd in round 1 Analysis Final day of the Mushroom Division which I think everyone is glad to be over. Besides Zack/Yuna there were no debated matches and these next two matches are not any different. It is like someone took seven half decent characters and put them against seven characters that don’t have much of a chance against them. The second round on the other hand is shaping up to be a bracket buster though. With Solid Snake on the opposite side of the bracket nothing is stopping Hayabusa from having a decent performance. In four-ways Hayabusa was able to put up decent performances before facing Solid Snake in the second round. Some people may try to give the credit to the bracket format, but a lot has happened since 2006 and even if Hayabusa decides to plunge back to his 2006 strength it should still be enough to win over Crash. 4-ways was also kinder to Crash since the days where he got crushed by Master Chief, or maybe it was the site shift. Either way Crash isn’t in the same league as Hayabusa and this match only serves as a stepping stone for next round. If Hayabusa matches Master Chief’s performance back in 2004 I think people should sound the upset alarm. On the other hand that match happened almost six years ago and a lot has changed. I always wondered how strong Crash would have been back when he was the mascot for the Playstation. His fall from grace would probably be worse than Magus. charmander6000’s Bracket: Ryu Hayabusa > Crash Bandicoot charmander6000’s Prediction: Ryu Hayabusa wins, 65.74% - 34.26% --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 15/20 - Today's Winners: Mega Man and Yuna |

The
day matches have had very weak trends this year; it's hard to tell if
that means day characters aren't getting much of an advantage over a
24-hour match from it. Oh day characters definitely benefit with day matches. There's not much day trending because the match starts during the day, and vote frequency is high from the start. But there's a big difference in performance from the first 12 hours to the next 12. Just look at characters like Sub-Zero last year, and work out their 12 hour strengths. Day and night are very different from each other. Day trends are pretty much the same as always, just hidden due to start time. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

KOTOR
is a game leagues beyond Ninja Gaiden in popularity. Now, I know games

his fanbase stolen out from under him when put in the wrong situation
