Rikku > Pig Ganon An upset in which if it doesn't occur, Ganon will laugh at you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GxARm_QiCo In fact, we can use that if Sonic DOES lose to Ganon. --- The Gamer In Me My Signature's broken, just like your front door. |

In
seriousness, if Kirby was a rSFF beast he would have pulled it out
against Luigi (who actually beat him slightly worse than Bowser did,
one of our first indicators that he was ahead on the pecking order). If
Luigi was even better at SFF than Kirbs, then why did he get demolished
by Sonic in the very next round? Kirby needs STRENGTH to beat Sonic, or else he's ending up like another Luigi. All indicators point to the fact that the puffball just can't cut it without a bandwagon. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

Ganon needs to lose to someone from FFX! He's beaten everyone else and this cannot be tolerated! Auron should be the easy favorite over him now, right? (not that most people think he'd win easily, but that the majority would side with him a la Dante > Ryu yes I know that's a bad example just bear with me) --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

I was only talking about characters in Kirby's division, not characters in Kirby's bottom quarter of the bracket. Seriously though, I'm glad that I didn't pick Kirby > Sonic in my bracket like I originally did. Then again, I originally had Charizard > Kratos and Ryu > Dante before switching them around... |

And
it's good to see that Snake beasted overnight and will hold on the
doubling or something close to it, it seems. That's two rounds in a row
now where Snake has been humiliated by an early vote and pushed back to
a good level by the time the match ended. Here's hoping he can get the
best of both worlds when it counts...! --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

From: Safer Sephiroth 777 | #058 Sonic's failures in the four-ways have made many people (self in cluded) doubt his strength. Auron won by a hefty amount, and amount which gives some room for Ganon/Kirby to have a chance at upsetting Sonic. Most of the 2 seeds this year were overseeded, it seems. Drake's certainly not a 2 seed, and The Boss proved it. Altair and Ezio didn't do that bad, IMO. We don't know where Charizard lies, but Kratos underperformed against Tails. Dante did respectable, and Ryu's always underseeded in these things. Gordon looked awful against Peach, and MC is MC. --- The Gamer In Me My Signature's broken, just like your front door. |

LeonhartFour | Posted 3/1/2010 6:23:52 AM | message detail |
We knew
most of the 2 seeds were overrated when the bracket was released
though. Only Squall, Dante, and Kratos were favorites to make it past
round two, and there were reasonable arguments to be made for Dante and
Kratos losing in round two as well. Squall was the only 2 seed
guaranteed to make it past round two just because he was in a fourpack
with three other characters who are nowhere near his level of strength
(LOL Revan). But then again, Squall would make the third round in any position in this bracket as a 2 seed anyway, so that's a moot point. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |

it's certainly possible, people argue Squall is now stronger than vincent. The Vincent/Tifa/Squall Trio is very tight, though add in Auron and it still looks like a tough 4 pack. --- Shakes Fist! |

Depends
on how their R2 matches go. Squall's easily the favourite. Auron needs
to impress against Zero to put him back in the match as well as Squall
looking bad against Terra. --- The Gamer In Me "Ike and Ash and co. saw a Yoshi and didn't catch it" - Mer telling us his dream |

Match XC: (5) Pikachu vs. (4) Commander Shepard Last Round Pikachu – 75.09% Banjo – 24.91% Commander Shepard – 75.79% Ellis – 24.21% Analysis I’m sure that I wasn’t the only one surprised at the amount of a beating Ellis received last round. While it is quite likely that Ellis is one of the weakest entrants in this contest I think it is safe to say that Mass Effect 2 provided the guy with at least some kind of a boost. How much will be seen in this match where Pikachu proved that his anti-votes are a thing of the past. In the previous contest while Shepard was reduced to the role of fodder at least he was decent fodder so even without Mass Effect 2 Shepard would outperform the likes of Banjo and crew. With Mass Effect 2 being so recent and still talked about I still expect Shepard to be at around his peak strength like he was against Ellis. If you compare the hype to Master Chief and Halo 3 Shepard would still lose to Pikachu, but he would have made Pikachu nervous at least. However since the hype for Mass Effect 2 isn’t the same as Halo 3 on GameFAQs Pikachu should have an easier time winning. While tripling someone is impressive there are cases where sometimes the opponent is really just that weak, just take a look at Weighted Companion Cube. Pikachu should push for 60% and could even reach the mid 60s if I’ve overestimated the boost Shepard got from Mass Effect 2. charmander6000’s Bracket: Pikachu > Ellis charmander6000’s Prediction: Pikachu wins, 62.27% - 37.73% --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 89/112 - Today's Winners: Solid Snake and Pikachu |

Why
are people even debating Kirby > Sonic. Like I get it, you guys
didn't like his four-way performances and I hate to pull an Ulti, but
it's ****ing Sonic. Seriously get your heads out of your anal cavities. That said Sonic is going to breeze to his destruction at the hands of Link, and by the looks of things this year he might even post respectable numbers on him. Kratos didn't underperform against Tails (as Kratos had a good match against Charizard, and Charizard has a good shot at the whole division). I still don't see where people are thinking the Sonic team has dropped. It's seriously lol fourways here because they completely skewed your view of Sonic. Oh well, it's just going to break whoever's brackets have Sonic losing before Link. Also it's definitely an artificially debated match, because never at any point this contest do Kirby or Ganondorf have a shot at beating Sonic. They will never be in the matches. --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |

Also,
now that I think about it, Squall vs. Auron is just another wishfully
close match. There's no chance that Auron has a shot in that match at
all, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was 55 - 45 or more. Auron vs.
Ganondorf would probably go in Ganondorf's favor. --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |

From: EternalxCourage | #360 Vincent beat Ganon 52-48 in 2006. Next match Vincent loses 52-48 to Sonic. that means Sonic with 53-54%. In fact Ganon has always been close behind Sonic (apart from 2005). If there was even a small drop by Sonic, Ganon would be a good upset pick. As far as I'm concerned he is the underdog for against Sonic, but I still picked him, just in case it did happen. I agree on the Kirby part though. The winner of Sonic/Ganon wins the division I feel.

It would imply Sonic with 54%. But there's more reason for Ganondorf to drop than for Sonic to drop tbqh. The reality, however, is that not only is Ganondorf simply weaker, but he's also going to most likely have his pig sprite. I'm predicting probably around 58% for Sonic. --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |

Looks
like Fox is barely gonna do better on Snake than he did on Lloyd. This
is actually about what my stats predicted. They had Snake winning with
66.68% here. Fox would undoubtedly do better if he had the benefit of a

around. --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |

I don't usually follow these threads, but it doesn't seem like much contest discussion happens out of them, so here goes... I had found it uncanny that all the 2 seeds were losing. Yes, many of them are over-seeded, but they're still #2 seeds, and renowned characters (or flash-in-the-pan like Ezio and Drake.) Is Squall really the only one that people thought were going to go past round 2? And does Freeman have a chance at being the other 2 seed that stays in the tournament against Tifa, or am I pipe-dreaming? I mean, it's only the second time he's won a 1v1 match-up, so convincing or not, that has to bode well for him, right? The irony is that I had originally thought to come in here with a theory about how the first character listed seems to be winning up and down the bracket, but it occurred to me that it's actually a matter of all the 2 seeds sucking. 1 beats 8/9 no problem, and all the 3 seeds (or 14 seeds) have won their match-ups so far, so the only "upsets" to the top-winner theory have come in the 4-5-12-13 quads, and actually only one 5-12 winner, Ganondorf, has moved to round 3 so far. Is this significant? I've got NFC, but by that argument, it seems Shepard should beat Pikachu and Missingno should beat Yoshi. =p |

And does Freeman have a chance at being the other 2 seed that stays in the tournament against Tifa, or am I pipe-dreaming? Gordon got 53% on Peach last round. Tifa got 66% on her back in 2006.

The
two seeds were all vastly overseeded for various reasons. Drake was
overseeded because of Uncharted 2 coming out so soon before
nominations. Altair and Ezio for the same reason with Assassin's Creed
2. Dante deserved his 2 seed, but Ryu also deserved a 2 seed as well.
Gordon just won GameSpot's contest so he most likely got a boost in
nominations because of that (no, he doesn't have a shot against Tifa).
Master Chief is casual bait. He gets nominations like crazy but he
isn't as strong as his seeds show. Squall is in the top 10 in character strength, so he definitely deserves one. Dante does as well. Kratos is decently strong so him getting another 2 seed isn't too bad (again, Charizard was just stronger). Auron, Vincent, Sonic, Ganondorf, Zelda, Sora, they deserve two seeds as well (and maybe one seeds too). --- Good Times, Great Memories |

And
based on Squall's match with Fox in 2008, Snake/Squall is projected to
go 56.82% for Snake. He got 57.59% in 2006. Doesn't seem like much has
changed there. UNLESS we assume the Smilin' Squall pic was worth about 5% or so, plus the fact that Square LFF is worse than Nintendo LFF, and I think we have ourselves a projected victory for Squall! --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |
