Triforce Division: Round 2 - Match 37 – (1)Zelda vs. (4)Terra Branford

Moltar’s Analysis

Zelda
Round 1 – 86.08% vs. Carmen (13.92%)

86% and over 100K votes on Carmen. Watch out everyone!

Terra
Round 1 – 58.69% vs. Kerrigan (41.31%)

In a match nearly perfectly predicted by the X-Stats, Terra beats Kerrigan.

From one impressive Zelda victory, to hopefully another. Since it seems that Terra and Kerrigan haven’t changed from last year, let’s see what the good ol’ Stats say on this!

Zelda (2005c) VS Terra (2005c)

Zelda has a strength of 33.71.
Terra has a strength of 18.65.

Zelda wins with 72.34% of the vote!
A win of 47,037 with 105,286 total votes cast.


72% for Zelda isn’t bad. I’ll go a little higher though, given Zelda’s impressive performance on Carmen.

Moltar’s Bracket Says: Zelda will win.

Moltar’s Prediction is: Zelda: 74% - Terra: 26%



Ulti’s Analysis

Terra won a match and I completely forgot she was even in this contest. God the female half sucks.

*plugs in 2005 stats and gives Zelda extra 2% for no real reason*

Prediction: Zelda with 74.34%



HM’s Analysis

Zelda

Previous Matches:

Zelda – 86.08% -- 102,509

Carmen Sandiego – 13.92% -- 16,578

Terra Branford

Previous Matches:

Terra Branford – 58.69% -- 58,141

Sarah Kerrigan – 41.31% -- 40,922

In the last round, the lovely Princess of Hyrule sets some records with her performance, being the first character to ever break 100,000 individual votes and getting the largest blowout of the entire contest. She comes into this round looking exceptionally strong with the annihilation of Carmen. Terra, on the other hand, looked about how she was expected to against Kerrigan. The Final Fantasy VI heroine is in for a beat down of a lifetime this round.

This match is pretty much a no-brainer as far as result and percentage are concerned. Given that Terra is definitely not stronger than last year, Zelda is at least guaranteed to get about 72% or so in this match; however, I think she’ll get more thanks to a slight increase, along with this feeling that Zelda is just going to perform much better in the female half than she might normally in a usual bracket.

Zelda has been the most impressive character for Nintendo this contest, which is somewhat surprising but also rather expected given where she comes from and her competition. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see Zelda rock the female half of the bracket and end up in the finals – rSFF SAMUS HERE WE COME!

It’s one match at a time, though, and Zelda just needs to continue her domination of Final Fantasy characters en route to a showdown with Samus. That’s right – Aeris is just another Final Fantasy casualty against the mighty Legend of Zelda. I’m really anxious to see Zelda post-Twilight Princess, especially since she might have a big role for once! Zelda4Life!

Aitch Emm’s Bracket: Zelda

Aitch Emm’s Prediction: Zelda – 76.5% ; Terra Branford – 23.5%

Aitch Emm’s Vote: Zelda!



Yoblazer’s Analysis

She controls the crowd, you know she holds it down, when it drops you know it's jiggy when you hear the sound, from town to town until she's world-renowned, she'll rock Hyrule all year around.

My prediction: Zelda break dances all over Terra's uglyass face (75-25)



Lopen’s Analysis

Another match where I only have one of the two right, (this doesn't get old!) I was expecting Terra to get stopped by Kerrigan. Yes, I'd seen the last contest… but I figured because they were both fodder anything could happen. Okay, I was wrong.
Master Moltar | Posted 10/17/2006 8:33:38 PM | message detail | #104
What does that have to do with this match? The hell if I know. This one should be easy… I think the most interesting thing we'll see here is "how does Zelda compare to Dante". Dante got 71.50% on Terra last year. Will Zelda do better or worse? Me? Well, if you know me… obviously, I'm thinking "worse".

Why? Because DANTE IS INVINCIBLE! (the hell with you, Master Chief!)

Lopen's Prediction: Zelda with 68.50%



KH’s Analysis

Zelda

Summer 2003 Contest
Extrapolated Strength --- 19th Place [30.29%]

Summer 2005 Contest
Extrapolated Strength --- 14th Place [30.89%]

Zelda sought, found, and beat the crap out of Carmen Sandiego last round (;_;), and is looking to follow that up with another fodder crushing today. All just an appetizer for the inevitable Zelda/Aeris clash, of course !!

Terra

Summer 2005 Contest
Extrapolated Strength --- 50th Place [17.10%]

Terra does what's expected of her against Kerrigan despite all the hullaballoo concerning the match picture. FF6 gets another win under its belt (amazingly), but that all comes to an end here. Goodbye, Terra. Don't let the door smack you on the ass on the way out.

...yeah, I'm following Jill/Peach a little too closely right now to give this any sort of real analysis. But come on, it's freaking Zelda/Terra.

Typically you'd expect Square to look its best when it goes out to Nintendo...but this is FF6 we're talking about here. If this goes over a tripling I won't bat an eye.

Karma Hunter's Vote: Terra.

Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Zelda with 74.86%.

Do I doubt the Devil Division? No. Do I think Zelda is any stronger this year? No. But I'm getting the feeling that the name "Zelda" is an absolute fodder killer. Expect her to look like she can take down Snake here, but falter as soon as she runs into real competition.

Upset Potential: 0%

lol FF6




Guest’s Analysis - Lady Ashe

Oh, cool. It is time for another Square vs. Nintendo match. We have characters from the two most powerful series, The Legend of Zelda, and Final Fantasy, going head to head to see who gets to advance to round three. On one side of the mat we have Princess Zelda, the heavy favorite for this match. On the other side, we have Terra, one of the two lead characters from the best game of all time. Who will win in this epic conflict? Methinks you should read on and find out.
Master Moltar | Posted 10/17/2006 8:34:24 PM | message detail | #105
Let's take a look at Zelda, shall we? She is looking hot after a record shattering win against Carmen Sandiego, and is looking to move on to face Aeris next round. There isn't really much to say here, other than the fact that Zelda is from the most popular series on GameFAQs. As if that was not enough, said series has what is looking to be its best game ever coming out soon enough, as well as her role as a commonly played character in Super Smash Brothers Melee. But let's not forget that her opponent should not be any slouch, either. It's time to see what is going on over with everybody's favorite greenhead, Terra!

Back in round one, Terra faced off against the horribly deformed looking Sarah Kerrigan, and defeated her without much difficulty. It is generally accepted that her path for this contest ends here, but she is still aiming to put up a good fight before she goes. What does Terra have going for her to help her in this endeavor? Well, she is from the best game of all time. Sadly however, many GameFAQs users have never played a Final Fantasy game before Final Fantasy 7, and so this isn't incredibly likely to count for too much. After all, the best character from the best game ever lost to Diablo of all peo- demons. Terra does have Final Fantasy 6 coming to the DS, but it is most likely way too far off to have any significant impact on the way this match will turn out.

Well, we have taken a brief look at both of the characters, now what does it all mean? To be honest, I would like to base my entire argument for this match on the fact that Zelda got 100 000 freaking votes, but the possibility of Carmen being uber-fodder is just too great to ignore. Oh well, in that case I suppose that it would be best to take a look at the good old x-stats.

Terra (2005c) VS Zelda (2005c)

Terra has a strength of 18.65.

Zelda has a strength of 33.71.

Zelda wins with 72.34% of the vote!

A win of 47,037 with 105,286 total votes cast.

Taking Twilight Princess Hype and a possible drop for Terra into account, 75 or 76 is looking about right. But there is still one more point that I would like to bring up, and it is something that I doubt will be brought up by any of the Crew members. Zelda will benefit from Same Fan Factor. The newer Final Fantasy games don't share the same fanbase as The Legend of Zelda does, but the kind of people that have played Final Fantasy 6 and the other older Final Fantasy games have almost definitely played Zelda games as well. This will take away a fair amount of votes that Terra would have otherwise received, and make Zelda look even more impressive. While I would like for Terra to give off a somewhat respectable performance, I just can't see it happening for her.

My prediction? Zelda with 78.86%



Crew Consensus: Hmm, this one is pretty much agreed upon. Mid 70's for Zelda it seems!

Wow. Everyone just used the X-stats and, in the exception of Lopen (who would've been way off EVEN IF HE WON THIS MATCH BY 53%) pushed it up. This was...odd.

But hey! We might have the match of the round right here! Didn't think we'd find an awesome match in the female bracket (I found Kairi/Claire just odd, but this is cool)!

DpOblivion's Quick Analysis:

Zelda should win this match with ease, but the bigger question is by how much? The most imporant match of the female bracket may very well be Aeris vs. Zelda next round, which will be Final Fantasy VII vs. Legend of Zelda. Always a big match there. This match here is sort of a preview, with Final Fantasy VI vs. Legend of Zelda.

Now I have Aeris over Zelda as my big upset, so my prediction here might be more hope than anything. Obviously Aeris should do a lot better than Terra, but would it be that much of a difference? It's still the same basic fanbase we are talking about here.

My vote: Zelda
My bracket: Zelda
My prediction: Zelda with 71%

(Yay, not the lowest! Kind of surprising....)

Triforce Division: Round 2 - Match 38 – (3)KOS-MOS vs. (2)Aeris Gainsborough

Moltar’s Analysis

KOS-MOS
Round 1 – 65.43% vs. Amy (34.57%)

KOS-MOS easily beats Amy with 65%.

Aeris
Round 1 – 69.78% vs. Marle (30.22%)

Marle holds up a bit better than I expected against Aeris.

Not much to say about this match, except it should hopefully clear up some of the Zelda/Aeris arguments. KOS-MOS isn’t really a match for Aeris. We should be able to get a good read on the blue-haired girl though, because that 2005 number just isn't right to me.

It doesn’t seem as if Aeris has lost a step since 2003 either. Only 70% on Marle may look unimpressive, but you have to remember she’s a Chrono Trigger character, and CT characters, no matter who, always get the CT backing. This match is predicted to end up over a doubling, but I’ll give KOS-MOS a little extra, because she’s cute.

Oh, and this analysis is dedicated to KOS-MOS’s Round 2 match pic, which is the best thing the female bracket has given us yet.

Moltar’s Bracket Says: Aeris will win.

Moltar’s Prediction is: KOS-MOS: 34% - Aeris: 66%



Ulti’s Analysis

(Nobody knows... the trouble I've seen...) -Phoenix Wright

How are my crewmates writing anything for these female matches? >_>

Prediction: Aeris with 66.65%



HM’s Analysis

KOS-MOS

Previous Matches:

KOS-MOS – 65.43% -- 67,068

Amy Rose – 34.57% -- 35,441

Aeris Gainsborough

Previous Matches:

Aeris Gainsborough – 69.78% -- 80,305

Marle – 30.22% -- 34,779

Last round, Aeris didn’t look too hot against Marle. It is tough to make any conclusions from the match, but it was certainly underperforming by the expectations set for her. Luckily, we’ll get some idea of where Aeris is looking with this match. KOS-MOS has been in these contests since 2003 and we have a good enough read on her to judge Aeris, assuming nothing wacky happens.

This match won’t be too interesting to see outside of the percentages. Personally, I’m hoping that Aeris really underperforms here so that we can get that Zelda bandwagon growing larger and larger. It’s a shame, but this begins another series of boring female match-ups until we hit the awesome male half.

Aitch Emm’s Bracket: Aeris Gainsborough

Aitch Emm’s Prediction: Aeris Gainsborough – 67% ; KOS-MOS – 33%

Aitch Emm’s Vote: Aeris Gainsborough



Yoblazer’s Analysis

While Aeris didn't look particularly great against the (admittedly unknown and untested) Marle last round, most of her Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts buddies are doing just swimmingly. At this point in the contest, Square has definitely done a good job in keeping up with Nintendo, and most might even argue that they've proven to be the more impressive force. Since Aeris is Square and had a role in KHII, she'll obviously receive some of these nice boostees. Based on the fantastic performances of her ilk, I still have confidence in Aeris's potential to be tough competition for Zelda (even though that's not necessarily what I want).

KOS-MOS, on the other hand, is completely dead to me. Seriously, Amy Rose? AMY ROSE?! What the hell is an Amy Rose and why couldn't you double it?! Your left boob should be able to 70/30 Amy Rose, gawdammit. Luigi scored exactly 66% on KOS-MOS last year. I expect a refreshed Aeris to outdo that. Prove me right, flower girl.

My prediction: Aeris def. KOS-MOS (68-32)



Lopen’s Analysis

Another match where I only have on… oh wait, I got both of these two. Oh yeah! I'm so good I amaze myself sometimes.
Master Moltar | Posted 10/18/2006 8:48:00 PM | message detail | #116
This match? Well, I don't know. I asked KOS-MOS herself about her chances and she was all like "probability of victory is 0.04%". To which I replied, "really? I was thinking 0.0397%!". Oh, yeah, she got all indignant because I underestimated her, but she was impressed that my margin of error was so low for a "crude human approximation". Now it was my turn to get indignant. Crude… ha!

Okay, there was a point to all this… KOS-MOS doesn't have a chance here. I know it. She knows it. The crew knows it. We all know it! The number to look out for, here? 67%. Will Aeris outdo that? Will she look better than Luigi did? I'm thinking she will, but not by much. Hopefully, when all is said and done, KOS-MOS will look better than Marle in the X-Stats! Yes, yes… it'd be beautiful! *listens to boos as a result of continued unnecessary cheap shots*

Oh, fine, you're gonna boo? Well how bout this? KOS-MOS is gonna lose by less than Marle did… and… after the match, for good measure, she's gonna make Marle a consolation sandwich. A consolation sandwich that has a 99.68% chance to actually make Marle feel worse… yeahh!!!

Lopen's Prediction: Aeris with 68.24%



KH’s Analysis

lol x-stats history

KOS-MOS

Summer 2003 Contest
Extrapolated Strength --- 36th Place [22.22%]

Summer 2004 Contest
Extrapolated Strength --- 31st Place [22.60%]

Summer 2005 Contest
Extrapolated Strength --- 45th Place [19.52%]

KOS-MOS laid the lingering doubts that Luigi gave her to rest last round, absolutely destroying Amy Rose beyond any shadow of a doubt. Yeah, default votes didn't help Amy out too much here. Unfortunately, now she's up against a more well-known AND stronger character.

Aeris Gainsborough

Summer 2002 Contest
Extrapolated Strength --- 12th Place [30.62%]

Summer 2003 Contest
Extrapolated Strength --- 15th Place [32.81%]

Aeris didn't impress *too* much last round, though I'd attribute that more to CT's strength and the match picture than anything. Or maybe she's lost a step since 2003? Wouldn't be too shocking, but this match will help us draw some more conclusions (or, like other matches, prove to be completely useless).

Notable Releases Since Last Appearance

Aeris Gainsborough: Kingdom Hearts II (PS2)
KOS-MOS: Xenosaga III (PS2)

Upcoming Releases

Aeris Gainsborough: N/A
KOS-MOS: N/A

Aeris doesn't have much of an upper bound to look out for, but I won't feel very good at all about her over Zelda if she dips below a doubling (i.e. what Luigi got). KOS-MOS should be stronger than she was last year, but I don't think she'll be as strong as she was in 2003 and Aeris has all the intangibles.

Well, except the match picture. WTF is that thing

Karma Hunter's Vote: Aeris. It might change once I get a copy of Xenosaga THAT WON'T ****ING FREEZE DURING CUTSCENES

Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Aeris Gainsborough with 70.84%.

Though it may just be tranny's insanity channeling through me, I'm going higher than I'm comfortable in spite of the match picture. Xenosaga is the spiritual successor to Xenogears, and it's pretty much accepted that FFVII gave that a SFF beatdown back in the Games Contest. If there's any significant carryover, it should default to FFVII.

Or this will make me look crazier than Lopen! HA HA

Upset Potential: 0%

I don't believe in TJF *that* much!

Guest’s Analysis - KleenexTissue50

This match could end up one of two ways. Aeris completely slaughters KOS-MOS, further proving the fact that FF7 > most in the contests, or KOS-MOS does surprisingly well, and Aeris looks real bad going into her match with Zelda. Aeris will win this one for sure, but by how much is what’s in question here. Let’s look at the previous matches of these two, shall we?

KOS-MOS - 65.43% - 67068
Amy Rose - 34.57% - 35441

Aeris Gainsborough 69.78% - 80305
Marle 30.22% - 34779

Now, granted this doesn’t really tell us very much, as there’s almost no way to judge the strength of Marle or Amy. The lol x-stats say that 2003 Aeris beats 2005 KOS-MOS by about as much as KOS-MOS beat Amy this year. 2004’s KOS-MOS proves to be stronger by about 2%. All things accounted for, Aeris should get around 64%. However, Xenosaga 3 was released nary 2 months ago. Not only that, but it was very well received (far better than the abysmal Episode 2, which may explain KOS-MOS’s slight drop last year). It’s fairly safe to say that we’re looking at a stronger KOS-MOS than last year. And Aeris’ performance against Marle wasn’t exactly spectacular. Not bad, but not quite what it should be.

So where the hell am I going with this? I have no idea. I just thought it’d be fun to throw some x-stats around and sound like I know what I’m talking about. Summary: KOS-MOS will be stronger than expected and Aeris won’t do quite as well as she should.

Prediction: Aeris with 60.89%
Bracket: Aeris
Vote: KOS-MOS




Crew Consensus: Another match where the Crew is pretty tight on, while the Guest is far from the pack. KOS-MOS in the mid-high 60's.

DpOblivion's Quick Analysis:

Sorry, I was too busy watching the METS WIN! to get this in on time.

Anyway, Zelda blew her competition away, so now Aeris needs to blow her competition away as well. KOS-MOS is from the weaker Xenosaga, but a brand new game may help boost her. But when you're against the main female from Final Fantasy VII, nothing is going to help you out too much.

My vote: KOS-MOS (for you, Notre Game!)
My bracket: Aeris
My prediction: too late

*praises Lopen's unnecessary cheap shots*

...what?

So...does Aeris get anti-voted? I know a lot of people dislike her (even while she's very popular), but enough to anti-vote her?

Beating FE5 and FE6 hard mode is a true test of manhood in the Japanese culture. However. This explains why they have a lot of effeminate men. ~Sytha

I anti-voted her.

Although that's probably because she's my least favourite character in her game.

? Guests are tied for 1st right now, and if this match stays under 63.43 they go in by themselves.

Aeris still stands a chance against Zelda, though this match doesn't really help.

Xenosaga 3 was supposed to actually be a good game and KOS-MOS has massive boobs in the picture. Luigi got what? 66%? against KOS-MOS last year. The match is in favor of Zelda and my bracket is already screwed anyway, but I still say Aeris has a shot.

Zelda certainly deserves the status of favorite, but I don't think you can make any guarantees off of an obvious overperformance against Terra. Really, she earns status more because Aeris has been underwhelming.

Really though, this lines up fairly well with Aeris 2003 vs. KOS-MOS 2004.

Zelda......................79.45% 92826
Terra Branford........20.55% 24005
TOTAL VOTES.....................116831

92.76% of the brackets predicted this match correctly.

More Zelda domination in Round 2. Zelda almost does as well as Samus did on her opponent, in the match and bracket support! Good signs for this Princess. I smell an overperformance though, woo Zelda boost and Terra/Kerrigan drop.

Today, KOS-MOS is doing well against Aeris.

Guest (Wigs, SilverNightmareX7, EC (2), TheRye, transience, Lady Ashe) - 7
KH - 7
Lopen - 7
Moltar - 6
Ulti - 5
HM - 5
Yoblazer - 2

With the high pick, the Guest spot gets another point.

I wonder if the guest will nail the percentage... 1 percent off in 4 hours is about right.
