Arthas could lay a turn and that turd would score 55%+ on Kefka. That's just how Kefka rolls.

Well of course. The argument against Kefka's an obvious one. But I just see Kefka constant flirting with weaker opponents. Figure one of these days the narrow loss is gonna be a narrow win.

Based on what?

Snake > Seph is much more logical and statistically possible then Ezio > Zelda.

Based on what? Lol. Ezio's past performances?

As I've been saying the whole time, my entire situation is hypothetical. But, I still think it's right.

Altair will beat Vivi, and Ezio will beat Zelda. I'm actually kicking myself right now because Altair very well could beat Kirby (I think Sonic is out of his reach right now.) Meanwhile Ezio is going to have a...semi-competitive match with Samus?

Krahen Prophet did a fatality.

A rally on 4chan? Even taking all of Battletoads' "rallied" votes (and I have to believe they care about it more), I'm not seeing it. This is tap-dancin' Master Chief we're talking about here. Spy was taking a chunk out of him from the get-go.

Not really seeing the votal argument against Hayabusa, either. Samus has put up some pretty pitiful votals in her time, too, and look where that gets her (hey design votes). If you want something to bash him for, bash him for letting Crash tearass into him all night and morning long. He has to hope a DSV/ASV/SNV match would go better for him for next round.

Alright, anyway, I have a couple other matches I'm curious about.

Phoenix vs. Jecht

Laharl vs. Midna

Aeris vs. Auron

What are Aeris' chances against Auron in this match? Probably slim to none, right? I have Phoenix beating Jecht and losing to Ratchet (why, I don't know.) I also have Laharl > Midna.

Oh, and Lloyd vs. Fox, who do you have there?

W...why do you have Midna beating Sora?

Ok now you're going too far. Zelda is one thing; Samus is another.

That's why I paused. Although, tbqh if Ezio beats Zelda by a fair margin, and we take the female bracket at face value, he could put up a fight against Samus. But like I said, the female bracket was a joke, and I think Zelda way over-performed. I don't think Ezio has a chance at Samus unless she gets the suitless pic.

---

But yeah, the general consensus so far was that this match was about expected for Chief if you factor out the 1-2% Spy rallying cost him, and enough to handily beat Hayabusa.

---

Check out Spy go!

I still consider Chief the favorite next round, but at least he's mucking things up enough for me to not lose all faith in Hayabusa.

Spy got a good combo though, popular for this kind of rally and with MC anti-votes, I don't think people will care enough about having MC lose to Ryu.

If MC is within striking distance of the choke, they'll care about him losing to anyone. I'm still kinda surprised DK ****ed it up in 2005, but then again, DK is the master.

I don't think Hayabusa can't capitalize nearly as well as Spy can. Spy has his own collection of memes, for one.

That's up to Hayabusa being about as strong as Chief. Not impossible by any means, but like I said, Chief is the favorite now. I expected Spy to impress (even more than this), but I also expected Ryu to go in as the favorite after a great performance against Crash. Latter didn't happen.

Man, even giving Chief a percent or two or more, this is going to end up as a pretty sucky performance. Spy could finish breaking 40% here.

He probably will. My Oracle would be 55% Zelda.

Exactly what I'm thinking. And considering the #1 person in the Oracle has a match average score of 44.64 right now, you don't want to call the average 55-45 match a lock.

Hmmm... a lot has happened in this topic, based on the vote totals this match is over 1000 ahead of its pace before the ASV begun.

Next match. Midna impresses by approaching/breaking 40% while nobody cares if Laharl/Neku wins.

Is Hierarchy the new argument to end all arguments?

hmm, fans votng in the poll will go crazy, hmm I like both of these characters, and their games have been enojyable on my 360, but I will vote for MC because Halo is higher placed in the hierarchy.

Indeed. Ryu let Crash break 38% on him, and Chief is likely to have Spy break 40% on him.

In 2007 he was cutting Phoenix/Bomberman in the day, but in 2008 he did his rising at night. I think he's pretty average thoughout the whole match and depends on his opponents.

I had him in the mid-60's until I realized this was Master Chief and lowballed him.

So yeah he's surpassing my lowered expectations by .3%

I mean in my eyes, Ryu easily had the worst performance, but this is nothing great for Chief here

He was doubling in North America meaning that he probably would have won the match with almost 65%.

I'm not sure how people can twist this match into looking good for Chief simply because Spy is getting rally votes. Even if Spy isn't getting rallied at all, Chief did squat with the ASV. Do you really think Chief starts churning out 65%+ during the ASV if you throw out Spy's rallied votes?

This is a pretty sorry showing for Chief no matter how you slice it. 60% on Spy honestly doesn't strike me as a whole lot better than Hayabusa's 63% on Crash. Chief should still be a favorite heading into that match, but he's not looking great heading in.

62%, rather.

Agreed. And not only that, he also did squat during what should be his best time.

Its not a good performance by Chief... but luckily for him, Ryu laid a bomb as well. It'll just be about who is more pathetic, and Ryu looked more pathetic from the matches today.

Match XXV: (1) Sora vs. (16) Midna

Information

Name: Sora
Game/Series: Kingdom Hearts
Previous Contest: 2008
Performance: 4th in round 3

Name: Midna
Game/Series: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Previous Contest: 2008
Performance: 3rd in round 2

Analysis

Moving on to the Heart Division we have the second division where the winner is not set into stone. In fact this is probably the most competitive division with at least five characters getting some support from the board. Sora may be the favourite to win it, but this division does have some serious competition waiting for him to look bad in his first two matches.

Interestingly enough both characters shared an opponent last contest, though with that character being Cloud it is a bit unfair to compare the two. On the other side I think people are expecting rather too much of Sora in this match. I’ve seen predictions from the high 60s to the low 70s and considering Cloud was only able to get 75% on her it appears that some people think Sora is at Noble Nine levels.

I think the reason for the overestimation was Midna’s performance in 2007. It was pretty bad and maybe that sticks out more. However in 2008 Midna was able to boost due to higher sales of her game, something that is common to all newly created characters and actually gave Mewtwo a fight for his life. Some people may argue for some weird RPG SFF with Mewtwo and that Midna was overrated because Cloud was the obvious first place, but she was still able to almost reach 24% which suggests that she’s likely around there.

Ganondorf/Mewtwo in my opinion is a good place to use as a comparison as they are close in strength relative to Sora and Midna. Sora has gained a bit more exposure over the previous year so I wouldn’t be surprised if he outdid Ganondorf. Overall don’t be surprised about Sora’s performance, especially since the match will be at night.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Sora > Midna

charmander6000’s Prediction: Sora wins, 59.82% - 40.18%
