| Snake support tends to fluctuate immensely though.
Snake could have gotten anywhere from 65% to 50% against Squall based
on how random he is supported. Pretty wide margin for a non SFF match
between a character from the noble nine and a top tier rest of the pack
character. Sonic has always been reasonably consistant vs non noble nine contenders. Anyone selecting Vincent over Sonic was living an absolute dream. --- Despite Karma Hunter's warnings, I doubted what should have been obvious to all. Only the Snake is the true hero! Commit it to memory. |

MM's performance this year proves Zero has weakened, back when Sonic
faced Zero, Z had quite a bit of momentum going for him. Aeris was very
strong, until she mysteriously vanished after some promising
performances. --- Despite Karma Hunter's warnings, I doubted what should have been obvious to all. Only the Snake is the true hero! Commit it to memory. |

And? Vincent was almost certainly stronger than Aeris last year, and
has since had DoC and AC, not to mention a potential Square shift with

HM didn't pick Vincent?!? And the guest did!?!? Great! HM sound hollow without his insane picks (Star Ocean>Pokemon!)! And the Guest prevents the Sonic sweep in the crew that practically GUARANTEES a Vincent win (see Castlevania>KH last year)! Oh well. Vincent is rather close, anyway. Come on, Vinny!

Oh please... Vincent > Sonic had far more credence than any silly
Squall > Snake picks. Don't even try to argue against that. Sonic
getting a mere 52% here should be more than enough evidence that
Vincent > Sonic was a very possible upset choice. Did I think it was
happening? No. But it damn well could have, stop acting like a dick. --- Portugal. The Man Cheer Up Emo Kids |

I agree with EC's sentiment, though I still say Solid/Squall was more
plausible pre-contest than Sonic/Vincent as far as the upset goes.
Granted, their performances say otherwise...but Vincent/Squall was real
close last year and they would probably still have a close match this
year (in Vincent's favor still and probably by a little bit more this
time, but they probably both boosted about the same). Then throw in
that Solid has been the weakest NN'er the past two contests and Squall
> Bowser last year was possible... ...again, I agree Vincent > Sonic was plausible and the percentages say otherwise to me, but Solid/Squall still was more up for debate pre-contest than Sonic/Vincent methinks. --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Adam Sandler (#1) |

Honestly, Vincent > Sonic was the best preseason contest pick to
overthrow the Noble Nine if only because of the very real chance of
Snake overperforming on Squall. Which is exactly what happened. No telling how close Squall would've gotten without it though. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 5: Darkwing Duck (4-0) |

It's hard to debate that happened now, yeah, but for all we knew Squall
could have just been that weak back in 2k2 and KH really did that much.
Also, for Squall growing as strong as he did since 2k2, I would have
throught he could have built up enough favor in their shared fanbase to
prevent much SFF (especially since KH2 is still hot and probably still
GotY). Oh, SFF, ye are a tricky ole' bastard..... --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Adam Sandler (#1) |

I honestly didn't think twice about Snake > Squall. I'm not sure
why, it just never entered my head tha twe could see an upset there.
Not enough hype for Squall, I guess. I've been scared ****less about
today's match though since the bracket first came out. Not expecting
Sonic to lose, but just knowing that there was definitely at least a
possibility. --- Dp, you are one awesome, sexy bastard. I less than 3 you. -Shadow Ryoko NEW YORK METS: 2006 NL EASTERN DIVISION CHAMPS |

Blast Division: Round 2 - Match 46 – (3)Kirby vs. (2)Luigi Moltar’s Analysis Kirby Round 1 – 61.70% vs. The Prince (38.30%) I really hope this is The Prince just showing his uber-strength. Luigi Round 1 – 53.71% vs. Zero (46.29%) Zero lost to Luigi?! Ouch, just ouch. Before this match, I said that if Luigi won, I’d feel much better about Kirby winning this four-pack than I would if he faced Zero. Well, Luigi won, and with ease too. Do I feel better though? Honestly, no, I don’t. If Luigi was going to win, I would have predicted it as close, not an Ulti-style blowout turned into nearly a 54% win for the Green Missile. It seems the Luigi of 2005 is back, and Kirby is next in his sights. Now, Kirby beats Zero in 2005 by a little more than Luigi did now. But still, with Bowser and Tidus doing worse than expected against their opponents, and Kirby following suit, could it be proof that the Dream Division was overrated in 2005? OH LAWD, I HOPE NOT. At least Ryu may say that it was legit and Bowser just overperformed on him. But, it was awesome seeing Bowser and Kirby so high. Kirby’s numbers on Prince aren’t that hot, so let’s just hope he’s stronger than we thought. Yeah, the deck is really stacked against Kirby here. Kirby-choosers have to hope that either The Prince was a strong mid-carder (Rikku-2005 level at least, assuming Ryu-2005 is legit), Zero fell from 2005 (as if he didn’t look bad enough in 2005), and Luigi hasn’t boosted much more since 2005. Oh, and also that Kirby himself isn’t overrated from 2005. There’s a chance for all of those, so Kirby isn’t out of this match yet! Bah, I can’t believe this is the same Luigi who was outperformed by Jill against Squall and got spanked against Yoshi. Speaking of Yoshi, if Kirby can pull the same stunt he did on Bowser (as in, overperform/rSFF him), then he may have a chance. Of course, Bowser could have just over-performed on Snake…but that makes Ryu look way too bad, and as we saw against Mega Man, it could have been there was just something wrong with Ryu last year. Anyway, as much as it pains me, there is just a bit more favoring Luigi at this point, so I’m predicting him as the winner. I hope I’m wrong and we get Crew Curse’d and Kirby beats the crap out of that Loser Luigi. Screw being unbiased, Kirby >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Luigi Moltar’s Bracket Says: Luigi will win. Moltar’s Prediction is: Kirby: 49% - Luigi: 51% Ulti’s Analysis "You people almost convinced me to pick Zero. Glad I went with common sense. Oh, and Luigi is beating Kirby too." -red13n He gets no credit for it because everyone is obsessed with his user level, but red13n is every bit as good at these things as yoblazer is. Anyway, yeah, I don't see how Kirby can win this. Prediction: Luigi with 54.35% HM’s Analysis Kirby Previous Matches: Kirby – 61.7% -- 75,247 The Prince of Persia – 38.3% -- 46,729 Luigi Previous Matches: Luigi – 53.71% -- 69,851 Zero – 46.29% -- 60,207 Luigi’s run in this contest may just be the best one we’re going to see. After being counted out by nearly everyone against Zero, he came out strong and beat the MMX hero with ease. He heads into round 2 against what appears to be a very disappointing Kirby after failing to impress against The Prince of Persia. In fact, the entire Dream Division looked unimpressive as a whole last round, which may be the key to Luigi’s victory. |

| One of the most important aspects of this match is
SFF, which will likely be the deciding factor one way or another. Some
have suggested that Kirby may have been able to rSFF Bowser after that
close encounter, perhaps making him overrated. If that were the case,
the possibility of Kirby getting rSFF against Luigi seems pretty likely
(Yoshi SFFed Luigi, Bowser didn’t appear to get rSFFed by Yoshi, etc.).
However, I think the man in green should be able to hold off against
getting SFFed here…call it a hunch! Luigi’s performance last round spoke wonders for his strength, I think. Zero has a long history of doing well in these contests and he’s undoubtedly a strong contestant. There is some controversy, though, on the possibility of Zero dropping. If that is the case, Kirby is looking good assuming he isn’t overrated…and it wasn’t mostly Luigi dropping…gah! I have no idea what to make of this match. All I know is that I’m in Luigi’s corner as I was last round. DO NOT DOUBT THE PLUMBER !! Aitch Emm’s Bracket: Luigi Aitch Emm’s Prediction: Luigi – 52% ; Kirby – 48% Aitch Emm’s Vote: Luigi Yoblazer’s Analysis It's a pure SFF match between two well-matched foes, so just pick a side and hope for the best. Personally, I'm not sure what Kirby did to pull so close to Bowser last year, but I have my doubts about him ever actually defeating one of the bigger Mario characters. Aside from that, Luigi also had the infinitely more impressive first round performance, so I'm taking him for the win. HEAD MISSILE. My prediction: Luigi def. Kirby (53-47) Lopen’s Analysis Wow, Luigi. What are you doing here? This was supposed to be the epic Kirby/Zero clash! Well, I was really unsure on Kirby/Zero, though I had Kirby. However, in Kirby/Luigi, I have less concern for Kirby's chances. See, the main reason you'd consider taking Zero over Kirby is because you think what he did against Bowser last year was a fluke. Or maybe because you think what Bowser did against Snake was a fluke. And yeah, that may very well be. People think Kirby did some crazy "reverse Nintendo SFF" on Bowser, or something, or that Bowser did better because of the infamous Solid ****. But with Luigi? None of that really applies. Say there was "reverse Nintendo SFF" in Bowser/Kirby. What's going to save Luigi from Kirby's wrath? Bowser's higher on the Mario/Nintendo pecking order from everything we've seen so far. Think Bowser did too well against Snake? Well, doesn't really matter… the only match that matters here is Kirby/Bowser from last year. Bowser > Luigi, Kirby almost beat Bowser, Kirby will beat Luigi.

Redemption. That's the only way I can describe Luigi's match against
Zero last round, and with his victory the 60-40 destruction at the
hands of Squall is all but forgotten. Now he has but one last hurdle to
cross, and that is the ceiling that is the second round for him. Three
second round defeats have dogged Luigi, and now he faces a very
winnable opponent in Kirby. So...let's see how far he's really come.
WOO LUIGI Notable Releases Since Last Appearance Kirby: Super Smash Brothers Brawl Trailer (Internet) Luigi: New Super Mario Brothers (DS) Upcoming Releases Kirby: Super Smash Brothers Brawl (WII) Luigi: Super Smash Brothers Brawl (WII) And to think, last round all I could think about was how stupid I was for not having Zero in the Sweet Sixteen. Kirby just about saved me, though Luigi could ruin me again. Still, I like Kirby's chances here. Ryu is showing us that it takes real strength to have a good performance on him, and Bowser did the best on him out of anyone. Snake/Bowser looks the most legit that it has in a while. Meanwhile, there's still the matter of Bowser/Kirby, which is odd...but if anyone could rSFF other Nintendo, it would be Kirby (or Mario, heh). 48% on Bowser is something I can't see Luigi getting, directly or indirectly. And to reflect that, I refuse to jump ship with my bracket this time. I'm sticking with Kirby. Go puffball. (also WTF Kirby just dominates that picture) Karma Hunter's Vote: Kirby. Because vaccuuming pink stuff > vacuum cleaners Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Kirby with 52.46%. Give Bowser the proportion that Yoshi got on Luigi in 2005, then just give Kirby the advantage based on 'direct' performances. Uh, simple, right? Upset Potential: 35% UPSET ALERT UPSET ALERT UPSET ALERT Kirby might have overperformed on Bowser, but there's no guarantee it was rSFF. And even if it was, there's no guarantee that Luigi will work with the same thing. Luigi is a wild card now...and for all I know this will be child's play for him after Zero. Oh well, not jumping ship this time, but let's at least reflect the fact that it could happen !! Upset Prediction: Luigi with 54.38% Guest’s Analysis - transience this match is completely confusing to me - both characters have reasons to win. let's start with their contest history: Kirby: the idea of him being a bigtime underdog to Tidus seems like so long ago. thanks to Kirby's surprising performance on Bowser, he's now thought of as a serious threat to anyone but the Noble Nine. a lot of people thought Bowser was the strongest non-NN character and Kirby got 48% on him. that's pretty good. they also share a common opponent in Squall - Luigi got 40% while Kirby got 45. Luigi Luigi had a very impressive first round match vs. Zero, taking a commanding lead and never looking back. Luigi has seemingly gone from a disappointing midcarder to a character that can beat near-elites with ease. the Nintendo Boost has benefitted Luigi more than any other character. |

| Kirby Luigi...How bad is the SFF? We all know that
his is going to turn into a MM/MK anyway, with the winner gaining due
to SFF. On that note, Luigi might pull a Mario by rSFFing the stronger character: Kirby. But how would we know it was rSFF? This will be fun, anyway. --- VIVA LA REVOLU-er, Wii!! Thank you Nintendo, thank you very much. |
| Master Moltar | Posted 10/26/2006 8:52:52 PM | message detail | #428 |

as far as I'm concerned, Luigi is the stronger of the two. Kirby has
two different reasons to be overrated - potential rSFF on Bowser and
Snake getting a sprite picture in his match against Bowser. every
performance from the Dream Division has been average at best this year
- Bowser, Kirby, Tidus and Rikku. the only exception was Ryu's match
with Mega Man yesterday and he did worse than expected vs. Kratos.
expectations aren't always right, but you can't help but notice a
pattern. but if Kirby can rSFF Bowser, why wouldn't he able to do the same thing to Luigi? after all, Luigi lost to a guy (Yoshi) that did worse on Bowser than Kirby did. yeah it was two years ago, but the point still stands that the Mario fanbase goes Bowser > Yoshi > Luigi. Yoshi doesn't look to be any stronger than Luigi at this point at all either - if Yoshi SFFed Luigi, why couldn't Kirby? in the end, one of two things will happen: 1.) Luigi will show off his newfound strength and take it to Kirby 2.) Kirby will SFF him just like he did to Bowser I think Luigi is more of a "fan favourite" than Bowser is, for whatever reason. the famous Mario Character poll seems to suggest the same: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2328 I don't take too much from this, but Bowser places pretty low for a character with significant strength. it's possible that he's just a "leech" and gets all his strength from simply being the bad guy in Mario, just like Ganondorf does with Zelda. if so, I expect Luigi to take this one relatively easily. Kirby has a great shot of winning this match too, but either way I don't expect a close one. the Nintendo fanbase is going to decide on one of these characters and I think it will be Luigi. transience's prediction: Luigi with 55.76% Crew Consensus: 5-2 in favor of Luigi. Ouch, but I hope that dynamic duo of KH and Lopen are right on this one! |

DpOblivion's Quick Analysis: Here it is, my first of 2 make-or-break matches. Putting Luigi through to the 3rd round was pretty risky, considering the board expected Zero to beat him in the first round. Well, much to many's suprises, but not mine, Luigi beat Zero, and now he faces Kirby. Come on....if Luigi beat Zero, he'll beat Kirby, right? Zero is almost definitely stronger than Kirby. But you never know the wacky way that SFF may work. My anti-Kirby bias may be blinding me here, but I just don't see how the SFF would fall to Kirby's favor.

lol leon trotsky I agree though..... I mean before the contest everyone was saying it was between Zero and Kirby, and when Zero looks like he's a bust, uhm, wait, uhh.... no no no no no, Luigi now! I think it's as much of a toss up as you're going to get personally, but the huge shift from Luigi being the underdog out of the 3, to the favorite after his match with Zero is a bit surprising. --- Portugal.

I agree though..... I mean before the contest everyone was saying it
was between Zero and Kirby, and when Zero looks like he's a bust, uhm,
wait, uhh.... no no no no no, Luigi now! I think it's as much of a toss
up as you're going to get personally, but the huge shift from Luigi
being the underdog out of the 3, to the favorite after his match with
Zero is a bit surprising. Castlevania syndrome aka let's all hop on the upset train. If only Luigi would have sweeped, then Kirby would have been guaranteed a win. Oh, and I have Kirby in my bracket, but I don't feel as good about it as you and Leon. I'm hoping Kirby pulls something awesome of though, and Luigi once again flops to a strong Nintendo character. --- Moltar Status: Feeling good and hot-blooded.

I can't see Zero dropping that much. either Luigi pulled some weird SFF on him or he's legit. plus Yoshi did great. Eh... Drop Zero 1.5% and boost Luigi 1% and Kirby should still take it statistically even if you think he's overrated. Calling for 55%, now that's insanity! Of course it'll probably be riddled with SFF, and there's a good chance it could happen, but there's no logical reasoning I can follow that ends up with Luigi with 55%. And in the same breath, I don't expect the match to be all that. 53%+ for either person, and I give both about an equal shot of winning. Nothing would make me happier than pure Kirby domination though. --- Portugal. The Man Cheer Up Emo Kids |

I mean, we've already seen the Blue Bomber perform less than
spectacularly in the first two rounds, so I'm taking what Luigi did to
Zero with a grain of salt. Plus, I can't get over that match with Bowser. Even if you call it a fluke, you can't deny the possibility that Kirby flukes again. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 5: Darkwing Duck (4-0) |

I'd laugh if Kirby dominated.. Luigi, embarassed yet again. but I
really don't expect that to be the case. like I said, I won't be
amazed, but I have trouble expecting a SFF match to be really really
close. Squall/Vincent is the exception. --- zizzy |

| Here's a sad little tidbit of information: even if Moltar and I wind up with the closest picks today, I technically still will not have a single top crew pick. All three of my points will be earned through ties (two with Moltar, one with HM). |
