Spazer Division: Round 2 - Match 33 – (1)Samus vs. (4)Ada Wong

Moltar’s Analysis

Samus
Round 1 – 81.85% vs. Nidoran F (18.15%)

Samus makes easy work out of Nidoran F.

Ada
Round 1 – 75.89% vs. Jade (24.11%)

Ouch, Jade is uber-fodder.

Well, the woman in the red dress now faces the bounty hunter in the orange suit. Not much to debate here, as Samus should have no troubles beating Ada. Perhaps though, she’ll fare a little better than I originally thought because of her impressive numbers on Jade.

…Or Samus will do just as well and both Ada and Jade end up looking super weak. Samus needs to impress soon though, as her Nidoran F numbers don’t say “Bracket Winner” to me.

Moltar’s Bracket Says: Samus will win.

Moltar’s Prediction is: Samus: 74% - Ada: 26%



Ulti’s Analysis

As easy as it is to simply assume that Ada will suck in this match, Leon's performance on Bowser makes me think otherwise. Samus will still win with ease, but Ada might actually manage to, oh.... I dunno, avoid a tripling perhaps. Stupid female half.

Prediction: Samus with 74.99%



HM’s Analysis

Samus Aran

Previous Matches:

Samus Aran – 81.85% -- 95,533

Nidoran F – 18.15% -- 21,180

Ada Wong

Previous Matches:

Ada Wong – 75.89% -- 74,498

Jade – 24.11% -- 23,669

With the start of round 2, we return to the undeniably depressing female bracket. Even more disappointing, we won’t really have any idea of how Samus stacks up to the competition when she’s against the untested Ada Wong. However, after Samus’s performance last round in which she didn’t put up a blowout of epic proportions, many began to doubt what she could do – but I think she’ll be reassuring everyone of what she can do here.

Ada Wong shouldn’t be that bad of fodder considering she does come from Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4. The latter of which is the most popular game in the entire series and a big reason why Leon Kennedy was able to put up nearly 45% on the King of Koopas. Still, she shouldn’t be comparable to Leon in the least and Samus is much higher than Bowser can hope for right now. I expect this one to easily go Samus’s way in a rather boring match-up. I don’t think we’re going to see anything that diverts from the norm.

Aitch Emm’s Bracket: Samus Aran

Aitch Emm’s Prediction: Samus Aran – 74% ; Ada Wong – 26%

Aitch Emm’s Vote: Samus Aran



Yoblazer’s Analysis

I think Ada will do a pretty good job here. She looks great in the picture (whereas Samus looks bleh), Nintendo has looked far from invulnerable thus far, and Leon did extremely well on Bowser just a few days ago. Thus, I think Ada will do a pretty good job here.

My prediction: Samus Aran def. Ada Wong (73-27)



Lopen’s Analysis

I have no idea why I thought Wesker would be more popular than Ada. That was stupidity. After finally finishing the whole game, I notice Wesker's hardly got any screen time in RE4. Here I was thinking with all the hype he was getting in the Villains Contest from his fans, he'd do something cool. Here I was thinking that with him getting 45% against Lloyd, he'd do something cool. Well you know what? He didn't do anything cool beyond wearing sunglasses at night! He's got nothin' on Ada! I guess maybe he's significant in RE1, but who cares about that one?
Master Moltar | Posted 10/13/2006 9:27:49 PM | message detail | #460
Ada Wong has potential… even if Jade was fodder, she smashed her good. I think Ada might actually be able to beat Jill or especially that flopper Claire. RE4 is the revolution, man! RE4 dwarfs that other crap, for real! So what am I going to do? I'm going to aim nice and low here. Leon doing so well against Bowser makes me feel better about this prediction… Ada might just surprise us all!

Lopen's Prediction: Samus with 70.95%



KH’s Analysis

lol x-stats history

Samus Aran

Summer 2002 Contest
Extrapolated Strength --- 4th Place [41.07%]

Summer 2004 Contest

And we're back to Round 2! Joy of joys, it's the female half again. -_- First up is another boring blowout! Yay. -_-
Samus is looking to impress this time around after massively not meeting expectations against the complete joke entry known as Nidoran F. Was it a fluke, has Samus lost a step, or was she never there in the first place? THIS MATCH WILL GIVE US NO ANSWERS TO THAT END

Ada Wong

lol N/A

Ada is looking hot, and she's also looking good after her round one killing of Jade. However, we're about to see exactly how much of that was Jade's weakness in this match. Although Leon did impress against Bowser, so Ada may be able to recapture some of that magic here...

Notable Releases Since Last Appearance

Samus Aran: Metroid Prime: Hunters (DS), Metroid Prime Pinball (DS), Super Smash Brothers Brawl Trailer (lol internet)
Ada Wong: Resident Evil 2 (PS), Resident Evil 4 (GC, PS2)

Upcoming Releases

Ada Wong: Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (WII)

I'll be honest, I'm pretty interested in MC/SZ right now and I really don't give a damn about this match. So I'll give you a quick statting -- Samus gets 67% on Leon 2k5, and Ada's getting nowhere near there. She gets 73% on Jill 2k4, and...yeah, I'll give her a point above that and be done with it, giving...

Karma Hunter's Vote: Ada. Another case of personality > Samus

Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Samus Aran with 76.46% .

If Samus doesn't get this, it'll be a mild disappointment, but whatever.

Upset Potential: 0.0001%

Can't forget that RE4 was on the GC!

Upset Prediction: Ada Wong with 100%



Guest’s Analysis - Garsha

Samus's past performances:

2002: 5-seed, lost to (7)Sephiroth in Division Finals, 47.37%-52.63% (Ranked 4 with 41.07% vs. Base Link)
2003: 2-seed, lost to (1)Link in Division Finals, 37.94%-62.06% (Ranked 7 with 36.72% vs. 2K3 Cloud)
2004: 2-seed, lost to (1)Cloud Strife in Semi-Finals, 59.01%-40.99% (Ranked 4 with 39.50 vs. 2K4 Link)
2005: 1-seed, lost to (1)Mario in Quarter Finals, 59.79%-40.21% (Adjusted Rank at 5 vs. 2K5 Link)
2006: 1-seed, defeated (8)Nidoran F, 81.85%-18.15%

Samus easily wipes Nidoran out.

Performance in past round:

2002-2005: Did not participate.
2006: 4-seed, defeated (5)Jade, 75.89%-24.11%

Impressive performance by Ada.

CJayC really did a mistake when splitting the bracket in a male and a female bracket. Because of this, we see weaklings like Kairi and Lara Croft winning matches and worthy opponents like Ganondorf, Zero, Tidus, and Leon Kennedy getting robbed in the first round. We also see characters Magus, Donkey Kong, Knuckles, and Frog being snubbed and pathetic characters like Nidoran F and Roll in this contest. CJayC, don't EVER do this again.
Master Moltar | Posted 10/13/2006 9:28:55 PM | message detail | #461
Both characters have done impressively against their opponents, but it's obvious that Samus will win this match. Has Leon ever gotten 41% against Cloud? Nope. We can very much say that Ada is weaker than Leon. Unadjusted 2K5 Samus is projected to get over 60% against Leon, and Adjusted 2K5 Samus is projected barely double Leon with 67.02% However, seeing that Ada showed a very impressive performance against Jade, and the fact that Leon put up nearly 45% against Bowser might show that Ada is a little more than just a pushover, and might even be above the fodder line. Ada will boost and benefit from the PS2 port of Resident Evil 4, and I wouldn't be suprised if Ada broke 30% or even avoid the doubling. I can't see Samus tripling Ada, seeing that RE4 is by far the most popular game in the series, as well as one of the most popular games on the GameCube, but I can see her breaking 70%, and Metroid Prime 3 hype could help that.

Oh, and my word to all of Board 8 and its horrible taste: The Beatles >>>> Lolicon.

Garsha's prediction: Samus Aran defeats Ada Wong-71.96%-28.04%. Gotta let my sister on this computer right now. She just turned 16 a few days ago.

*Catches the attention of many idiots*



Crew Consensus: Samus's bounty this time is Ada. It looks like she'll win, but by how much is what you want? Crew says low-to-mid 70's.

Wow, I'm surprised that nearly everyone thought Ada could avoid the tripling. That would require Jade to actually be above 10% on BL...

My preliminary stats gave Samus 77-78% here, and that had Jade at 9% on BL...

Spazer Division: Round 2 - Match 34 – (3)Rikku vs. (2)Kairi

Moltar’s Analysis

Rikku
Round 1 – 75.00% vs. Lenneth (25.00%)

Rikku pulls an exact tripling on Lenneth

Kairi
Round 1 – 52.08% vs. Claire (47.92%)

Claire nearly pulls the upset, but Kairi is able to squeeze through.

Ha Ha, ah, time for revenge, Kairi! I might have thought you were going to turn up pathetic enough to lose to Claire, and you nearly did! Luckily, the after-school vote pulled through for you. Still, now you get to face true competition! Do your stuff, Rikku!

Anyway, bias aside, things aren’t looking good for Rikku here. Kairi may get the backing from KH fans against a non-Square opponent, but now we have Rikku. She’s not only a main in the Final Fantasy series, but she also has her cameo in the KH series. With Rikku stronger than Kairi, will we be seeing a bit of Square SFF here? Who cares, Kairi is going to end up looking pretty bad here. I’ll be shocked if she impresses against Rikku.

Moltar’s Bracket Says: Rikku will win.

Moltar’s Prediction is: Rikku: 66% - Kairi: 34%



Ulti’s Analysis

As badly as people want to see Kairi get completely killed here, it might not happen. KH fans are complete freaks. Kairi, a character that does almost nothing in any KH title, beat Claire Redfield in the first round. These people would vote for Sora Turd over Anything if it came down to it. I still think Rikku wins this easily, but Kairi might surprise people.

Prediction: Rikku with 57.55%



HM’s Analysis

Rikku

Previous Matches:

Rikku – 75% -- 83,124

Lenneth Valkyrie – 25% -- 27,704

Kairi

Kairi – 52.08% -- 56,291

Claire Redfield – 47.92% -- 51,795

This match has been a foregone conclusion from the beginning. Even with Kairi’s rather impressive performance against Claire Redfield, she still stands absolutely no chance to beat the superior Square character in this face off of awful Partystar favorites. Since we do have something of concrete value on Rikku, we should be able to get a rough idea of where Kairi will stand after this match, assuming there is no severe SFF.

If Kairi does manage to make this interesting, I would not only be shocked but have to agree that there was some serious power from KH2 here. I have a hard time believing that pre-KH2 Kairi is worth much of anything. KH2 Kairi is probably worth a bit more, but how much more remains to be seen. It’d be rather humorous if Kairi did manage to make this interesting and make a close match out of it. I know it’d make Yoshi and Tingle looks fantastic!

Aitch Emm’s Bracket: Rikku

Aitch Emm’s Prediction: Rikku – 60% ; Kairi – 40%

Aitch Emm’s Vote: Rikku



Yoblazer’s Analysis

Very cute picture. Kairi may have been able to beat a Resident Evil playable character who has been absent from gaming for five years, but she won't be a threat for a Final Fantasy playable character who's almost as new to the gaming scene as she is. Rikku is simply stronger (stronger than Kratos, who I wouldn't dream of not taking over Kairi), and any SFF here will almost certainly go her way. As with the last match, Kairi will get my vote, but that won't enough for the sweetest victory.

My prediction: Rikku def. Kairi (62-38)



Lopen’s Analysis

Well, here's a match where I've only got one half of the duo right… there are a lot of these this round! I had Claire here. And no, it wasn't because I trusted the 2002 stats one bit, it's because I thought Kairi was fodder.
Master Moltar | Posted 10/14/2006 9:00:49 PM | message detail | #486
And you know what? I still think she's fodder! I don't care if she managed to squeak by Claire, that didn't convert me. That just makes me think Claire dropped by even more than I thought she did. Rikku, on the other hand, we saw her last year, and she looked pretty good. Definitely not fodder.

Now, considering they're both from popular PS2 RPGs, you could say it's reasonable to expect a hint of the ol' "Same Fanbase Factor" here. Sure, why not? Could be a bit. But when Rikku straight out kills her? You can't blame it all on that… no you can't!

Lopen's Prediction: Rikku with 68.10%



KH’s Analysis

lol x-stats history

Rikku

Summer 2005 Contest
Extrapolated Strength --- 30th Place [24.33%]

Rikku takes care of Lenneth in the first round, though not by as much as I anticipated -- possible overrating in that whole chain there? Not that she's going to lose this match, obviously...but Samus is going to make this entire division look downright PATHETIC if Rikku can't start looking impressive, and fast.

Kairi

lol N/A

The girl who made Speck of Dust a household name squeaks out in the closest match of the female bracket, and her reward is a setup that is all too familiar to anyone that was around for 2k3 (or to get burned by Sora in 2k4). Yay for having an unreliable value on a character that we'll likely never see again because of it.

Notable Releases Since Last Appearance

Rikku: Kingdom Hearts 2 (PS2)

Upcoming Releases

Rikku: N/A
Kairi: N/A

Would I ever take Kairi to get 45% on ANY Ryu?

Karma Hunter's Vote: Rikku. Kairi is just so...ugh.

Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Rikku with 64.56% .

Not a clue here, so I'm just depending on Aeris' precedent to hold (and for Kairi to be far more worthless than Sora).

Upset Potential: 4%

Y'know, Kairi can conceivably turn this into a Pokemon/Metroid or closer...just because Aeris SFFed Sora doesn't mean Rikku can do the same, especially when Rikku's role in KH2 is even more worthless than Kairi's and Rikku ain't too adored by the FFX fanbase in the first place. Of course, I don't think Kairi is much of anything, either...but if Claire really maintains a semblance of popularity (like, say, near where I think Jill is at), Kairi can conceivably win this. There is that pesky 45% on Ryu there...but what if it was a fluke?

Agh, I'm just upset-hungry in the starved female bracket.

Upset Prediction: Kairi with 52%



Guest’s Analysis - FantasyFreak999

Well, here we have a Square vs. Square match, so you know that there will be SFF involved. The question
is, will it go to Rikku, who hails from the almighty Final Fantasy series, or to Kairi, who comes to us from the Kingdom Heart series.

Sorry Kairi, but FF beats out KH any day. Even without the SFF though, Rikku would still beat out Kairi. If we look at the extrapolated ranks of Rikku and Riku (wow, I never thought I’d actually put those two in the same sentence), Rikku came out ahead of Riku. Seeing as how Riku is easily more popular than Kairi, it pretty much means that she’s gonna lose.

The real question now is how much Kairi is gonna lose by. I think a doubling is a given, but can Rikku pull off a tripling? I’m gonna say yes (It IS Kairi after all). I just cant see Kairi being that strong, even if she is a product of Square.

FantasyFreak999’s pick: Rikku – 76.8%, Kairi – 23.2%



Crew Consensus: Picks are literally all over the place for Rikku.

There is no reason to believe that Kingdom Hearts would beat Final Fantasy, unless it was the main character of KH, and that's not the case. Rikku should SFF and win this match fairly easily, especially since she had a cameo in Kingdom Hearts 2. Goodbye perfect brackets.

My vote: Rikku
My bracket: Rikku
My prediction: Rikku with 73%

Only a 5th of the brackets saw this coming.

*Is in that group.*

I never questioned it, nor the Luigi/Zero match.

To all those who said Sub-Zero and/or Luigi had no chance of leaving the first round:
HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

I now return you to the end of the topic.

Eep, my margin in yo's system is decreasing! I've been on a bit of a rough streak lately. =/

Guests sure are redeeming themselves. And they're so low on consistency because the people who took upsets wanted to write an analysis for the match they took the upset (Cortana, Alyx Vance, Sub Zero are a few examples), and most of the upsets didn't pan out.

Well, take enough crazy picks and you're bound to get some hits, that's why Lopen is in first in Moltar's system (and last in yo's). B8 is surely racking up the hits in Moltar's system now that some of these picks are finally paying off, but the fact remains that they're only above Lopen in yo's system, tied with yoblazer himself -- and while I'll be the first to admit that yo's bracketmaking skills are far superior to mine, this hasn't been the best of contests for him so far.
