Who are the fan favorites in Dissidia? I'm guessing Terra, Kefka and Cecil are popular considering their boost.

This ASV would be awesome if Ramza were up like 52-48 right now instead of down big.

Zidane and Terra in terms of playing

Jecht, Golbez and Kefka in terms of story (with Tidus/Cecil/Terra getting some help)

This contest has been kinda boring, it's just been cookie all the way so far and looks like R1 will be all the way. There hasn't even been any close matches really.

Maybe R2 will be better.

R2 looks more of the same. Division Finals looks like it can have at least a couple of interesting matches.

Do you guys think there will be any close matches in the second round? Like within 55%?

I only see one and that's Dante/Sora. Even that is an outside shot. I think we're one round too early for 24 hour matches.

It creates a legal issue, best case I can see would be one of us being hired to make the bracket, which I guess would be fine.

The only way that could happen is if the people who contribute are excluded from the contest. I'd be willing to take one for the team to make a killer bracket. My first order of business is a Mega Man/Sonic rematch

I'd also like to see some of the elites go at it. Gimme Vincent/Squall, Zero/Dante, Yoshi/Luigi/Bowser (so we can finally bury that debate), Ganondorf/Tifa etc.

There's a wealth of great matches we haven't seen, and rematches of great past matches that would also be a blast.

Analysis

It has taken Guilty Gear a long time to reach a contest, but now that they are here I don’t think people will be too surprised that they are going to get crushed in this match. Badguy and Kiske have a great case at being one of the weakest pairs of the contest. Guilty Gear has not been relevant for years and even when it was it wasn’t among the top tier fighting games that the masses loved and talked about.

I think people are looking at this match for whether Dante and Vergil have the strength to defeat Sora and Riku in the next round; however I feel that this match will give us very little information. The main thing is that we have very little information on Badguy and Kiske other than the perception that they are likely to be weak. I don’t feel that any kind of massive win should convince people that Dante and Vergil are the favourite; likewise should the pair underperform to our expectations.

The only poll that has included someone from the pair was the vote-ins for the 2008 contest where Sol Badguy finished second to last and managed a very embarrassing performance. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Dante and Vergil push for over 80% in this match and while some fighting pairs have performed well in this contest it probably doesn’t affect the performance of Badguy and Kiske here.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Dante/Vergil > Sol Badguy/Ky Kiske

charmander6000’s Prediction: Dante/Vergil wins, 78.64% - 21.36%

Ramza has been making a decent amount of cuts in the last couple hours, but not enough to make a % difference.

I guess we figured he would win the SNV.

Meh. Sounds decent, but forget this. Gimme Spider-Man vs. Snake, Batman vs. Link and Vader vs. Sephiroth instead.

One thing I didn't really realize until now for some reason is that R2 between Dante and Sora is gonna be a real question mark no matter what because it'll be impossible to gauge these guys via R1. Dante is going to obliterate fodder like he always does, and Hitler makes gauging Kingdom Hearts impossible. Even if we have a few dozen people still perfect, I'd imagine all of them would at least briefly consider banking.

I don't think you need someone from board 8 to make a fictional character battle bracket. SBAllen could randomize it and it would still be good.

I think it's seven. So just under 95% of the perfect battlers went the same way, and this was the second toughest R1 match and the toughest match we'll be seeing in a while. The top group is a total hivemind now. I'd love to see us keep risking it and winning big in a total war of attrition that eliminates a small handful of people each day.

There were a lot of people afraid of Ramza, for some reason. I guess anxiety may be setting in for some of us remaining battlers.
