DpOblivion's Quick Analysis: Remember, remember, the fifth of November.....Sonic with 60% on Luigi, sweet! Lookin good. Unfortunately, Crono's performance today probably won't help to much in predicting next round's match, as he could SFF Auron. My vote: Crono I suppose My bracket: Crono over Auron My prediction: Crono with 62% --- Remember, remember, the fifth of November, the gunpowder treason and plot, I see of no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot. |

Big Bob's completely biased and nonsensical analysis Crono may have shown Bowser up, but Bowser was overrated. By a LOT. He's weaker than Luigi, who Auron's consistently been stronger than. Auron's also had Kingdom Hearts II since then. Sub-Zero's the mascot of Mortal Kombat AND has had new games accounting for his strength, and Auron beat the hell out of Alucard when everyone expected it to be closer. Keep in mind the recent release of Final Fantasy XII to remind people why they like those games so much, and you've got a victory for Auron. Bob's Prediction: Auron with 60% --- Gordon Freeman finally won, but somehow, the universe survived... thus allowing me to tell said universe about how I was owned by NClark128. |

Sonic the Hedgehog..................60.19% 79761 Luigi..........................................39.81% 52760 TOTAL VOTES ...................................132521 40.02% of the brackets predicted this match correctly. Well, this is interesting. Sonic did better than he was supposed to against Luigi. That means either Sonic's boosted (meaning Vincent and Ganon look even better) or Luigi isn't even at his 2005 level (meaning Kirby and Zero got beat by a weaker Luigi). Hmm...nice vote totals too. Today, Auron is doing very well against Crono. Moltar - 11 KH - 10 HM - 9 Lopen - 9 Guest (Wigs, SilverNightmareX7, EC (2), TheRye, transience, Lady Ashe, Kleenex) - 8 Ulti - 7 Yoblazer - 5 Point goes to me for my Sonic pick, woo. --- Moltar Status: Feeling good and hot-blooded.

Limit of the Spazer Division: Round 4 - Match 57 – (1)Samus vs. (1)Tifa Moltar’s Analysis Samus - The Best of the Best in the female half, and the whole bracket! Round 1 – 81.85% vs. Nidoran F (18.15%) Round 2 – 79.78% vs. Ada (20.22%) Round 3 – 69.00% vs. Rikku (31.00%) More Samus domination in Round 3 Tifa - The Breast of the Best in the female half, WOO Tifa Breast joke #53324! Round 1 – 76.18% vs. Ivy (23.82%) Round 2 – 74.55% vs. The Boss (25.45%) Round 3 – 66.05% vs. Peach (33.95%) Tifa nearly doubles the Princess. Samus has taken down all that have stepped in her path so far, but now she faces her toughest opponent yet. Hey Samus, Breasts have arrived! Now, Tifa has looked pretty good so far. Good numbers against Ivy and The Boss, decent stuff against Peach. That’s all good and stuff…but you need a bit more than that to face Samus. I mean, Tifa got 43% on Sonic last year, and Samus has beaten Sonic twice in the past. Tifa doesn’t even look to be much stronger than her last year self. Maybe it was just her opponents though… Samus on the other hand is looking to be at or above her 2005 value, and that’s more than enough to win this match easily. Samus beats Tifa 60-40 using last year’s stats, and I honestly don’t see it being to far away from that result. Tifa fans should feel good if she breaks 40%, because 45% is waaay too much to ask for. Oh, and it’s the debut of Zero Suit Samus! Time to see her kick some ass and take some names! Moltar’s Bracket Says: Samus will win. Moltar’s Prediction is: Samus: 59% - Tifa: 41% Ulti’s Analysis We're in the final eight and still have eeeeeeeasy matches on the female side. All this is is a "guess the winner's percent!" type of match. Prediction: Samus with 59.47% HM’s Analysis Samus Aran Previous Matches: Samus Aran – 81.85% -- 95,533 Nidoran F – 18.15% -- 21,180 Samus Aran – 79.78% -- 98,352 Ada Wong – 20.22% -- 24,923 Samus Aran – 69% -- 85,439 Rikku – 31% -- 38,387 Tifa Lockhart Previous Matches: Tifa Lockhart – 76.18% -- 96,118 Ivy Valentine – 23.82% -- 30,046 Tifa Lockhart – 74.55% -- 90,595 The Boss – 25.45% -- 30,934 Tifa Lockhart – 66.05% -- 79,830 Princess Peach – 33.95% -- 41,033 Starting the female bracket now isn’t so bad when you’re starting it off with something like Samus/Tifa! Although the result of this match is a foregone conclusion, it’ll be nice to actually see two strong Nintendo and Square characters going at it. This one should help us get an idea of where Tifa stands after KH2 and where characters like Peach and Jill end up placing. Samus had a pretty “by the stats” match against Rikku last year, out doing them by less than a percent, whereas Tifa put up a pretty impressive doubling on Princess Peach despite starting out pretty badly. I think there is a slight possibility that Samus may undershoot her expectations and projections in this match. I doubt the picture, which is Zero Suit Samus from SSBB, will hurt her that much, but it just seems like the female bracket would have some over and underperformances similar the Villain Contest for whatever reason. It probably won’t be anything major, but Tifa may put up surprising numbers or she may just get rocked hard. |
| Master Moltar | Posted 11/6/2006 9:56:40 PM | message detail | #280 |
| It’s nice to see that we’re starting to get into
some of the more interesting matches. We pretty much only have the
strong characters left in the contest at this point, which is
particularly good for the female half! The most exciting match – ZELDA
> SAMUS – has yet to come though! Aitch Emm’s Bracket: Samus Aran Aitch Emm’s Prediction: Samus Aran – 60% ; Tifa Lockhart – 40% Aitch Emm’s Vote: Samus Aran Yoblazer’s Analysis Before getting to gourge ourselves on the two terrific men's matches, we'll have to sit through two boring, predictable matches on the female side. Despite these matches not being very good for the Elite 8, let's look on the bright side: they're about ten times better than what we've had to deal with so far from the female bracket. Both Samus and Tifa have more or less done exactly what was expected of them. It can be argued that Tifa underperformed against Princess Peach, but it's difficult to argue that point when Peach is completely new to the contest scene. Either way, we all knew both of these characters would be here, and we knew what the ending result would be. Truth be told, the most interesting aspect of this match is probably the fact that it's the first time Samus has been pictured without her Power Suit. Will she underperform? Overperform? Will it make no difference? Unless the percentages are completely out of whack, it will be hard to tell, but the Metroid heroine should have no trouble in winning. Personally, I think Samus is going to look good here, but I'm not sure why either of the FFVII ladies haven't looked more impressive, especially when given the fact that every male character who starred in KHII has looked extremely impressive thus far. It strikes me as very strange, and almost gives me a forboding feeling that Tifa will have the match of her life. Regardless, my Nintendo fanboyism has once again gotten the better of me, so I'm going with Samus for the easy win. See you in Brawl, sexy mama. My prediction: Samus Aran def. Tifa Lockheart (58-42) Lopen’s Analysis This match kinda bores me. None too interesting. I'd like to say Tifa has an upset chance here, but she really doesn't. We saw Sonic smash her into the dirt last year, we know Samus is at least on the level of Sonic. Kind of a no-brainer. Not even the results of this year give it any support. Tifa got less on Peach than Samus got on Rikku… and come on, who here takes Peach over Rikku. Anybody, anybody? I guess Tifa smashing the Boss with 75% or so was pretty impressive, but we know about that FF7/MGS stuff that goes on. Anyway, Samus has shown to typically be stronger than Sonic, Sonic got ~57% on Tifa last year, I expect Samus to get a tad more. Lopen's prediction: Samus with 58.12% KH’s Analysis lol x-stats history Samus Aran Summer 2002 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 4th Place [41.07%] Summer 2003 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 7th Place [36.72%] Summer 2004 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 4th Place [39.50%] Summer 2005 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 5th Place [38.21%] Samus does about as expected on Rikku. Not much to say about it, just like every other female match! Tifa Lockheart Summer 2005 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 16th Place [30.77%] Tifa doubles up on Peach, not too much to say either way about it. Just like every other female match! Rikku struggles against Kairi. Not exactly good when your next round opponent is...Samus? Oh, dear... |

Notable Releases Since Last Appearance Samus Aran: Metroid Prime: Hunters (DS), Metroid Prime Pinball (DS), Super Smash Brothers Brawl Trailer (lol internet) Tifa: Kingdom Hearts II (PS2) Upcoming Releases Samus Aran: Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (WII), Super Smash Brothers Brawl (WII) Tifa: N/A Well, this match is only really important because it's the debut of Zero Suit Samus, and will help to quell speculation concerning whether or not it will help or hurt Samus. I really don't think it'll matter either way, maybe a lil' to hurt, but it's not like Tifa had a chance here anyway. Her big goal is to do as well as possible to show that she has a chance at challenging Zelda (though the point is perhaps moot since such a match would be after TP). Karma Hunter's Vote: Tifa. blah blah personality > Samus blah blah Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Samus Aran with 57.46% . Tifa should clear 40% pretty easily here, I should hope. Everything else is fair game. Upset Potential: 0% Tifa isn't affiliated with Nintendo in the slightest! She has no chance here! Guest’s Analysis - nintendogirl Hey it’s me, the user you’ve never seen or even heard of before! I’m stepping in as the guest today because I think that even I can predict this one without looking like too much of an idiot. Before this year, I lurked during contest time but never really paid any interest to the subtleties of the contest. Swings and SFF and surprisingly, I had no concept of the Noble Nine. So now, with all that knowledge and a little hoping I reckon I can quite happily say that Samus is going to win. <_< Okay, so you knew that bit. Samus is Noble Nine and there is I don’t think anyone in the main bracket that can hit over 47% on her. She is a fully-suited Nintendo mascot with missiles blaring while Tifa is the big boobed girl from FF7. Yeah, she had a cameo in KHII, but to be honest, it will mean absolutely nothing next to Samus. Incidentally apparently even most of the casuals know that with Samus being the character with the highest bracket support in the second and third rounds and the second highest in the first round. So, in summary, Samus will breeze through this match as she heads all the way to the Battle Royale with a comfortable margin against whoever meets her in the final. Ngirl’s prediction: Samus with 59.83% Crew Consensus: Easy Samus win says the Crew. Samus in the (surprise surprise!) mid to high 50's. |

Big Bob's completely biased and nonsensical analysis Tifa has obviously boosted from Kingdom Hearts II. Samus has her ZSS pic, which could possibly hurt or help her. Samus is gonna win easily, but I fully expect this match to set off some alarms. Board 8 will be in a riot after this match happens. Bob's Prediction: Samus with...um...hold on. (goes to check what Sonic got on Tifa last year) ...56.39% --- Gordon Freeman finally won, but somehow, the universe survived... thus allowing me to tell said universe about how I was owned by NClark128. |

DpOblivion's Quick Analysis: Divisional Finals are down, we now move to the SemiFinals! No Belarus here, but whatever, that's beside the point. The point is, we have Samus vs. Tifa, a great Noble Nine / Nintendo character vs. a strong Final Fantasy character. Should be an interesting match, but nothing more than a mere speedbump for Samus. Yup, the Noble Nine remains in tact after this year, folks. Hopefully noone's too disappointed about that fact. My vote: Samus (even though I hate her) My bracket: Samus over TIFA! I SWEAR TO ****ING GOD I HATE TIFA!! My prediction: Samus with 57% --- Dp, you are one awesome, sexy bastard. I less than 3 you. -Shadow Ryoko NEW YORK METS: 2006 NL EASTERN DIVISION CHAMPS |

Crono..................54.5% 68115 Auron..................45.5% 56865 TOTAL VOTES ............124980 46.04% of the brackets predicted this match correctly. Pretty good prediction percent for Crono, considering it's well...Crono. Still, Auron made him sweat today, as he pulls 45.5% on the Noble Niner. We knew Auron was underrated last year, but it seems Auron is even stronger this year, and that Sub-Zero is pretty darn strong. Today, I guess the casuals don't recognize ZSS is all. because Samus is barely beating Tifa!

Triforce/Aeon Division: Round 4 - Match 58 – (1)Princess Zelda vs. (1)Yuna Moltar’s Analysis Zelda - This Twilight Princess looking to win another match. Round 1 – 86.08% vs. Carmen (13.92%) Round 2 – 79.45% vs. Terra (20.55%) Round 3 – 56.87% vs. Aeris (43.13%) Zelda beats Aeris Ulti-Style! How embarrassing. Yuna - Our annual “Their division must have been real crappy if they could make it to Round 4” contestant this year! Round 1 – 79.30% vs. Roll (20.70%) Round 2 – 78.05% vs. Joanna (21.95%) Round 3 – 60.84% vs. Chun-Li (39.16%) Yuna laughs at Chun-Li’s attempt to challenge her. The female half is almost over, and we still have predictible as crap matches, great. Oh well, at least the payoff of Snake/MM and Sonic/Crono should be worth it. This match isn’t that bad. I mean, both these characters have impressed a lot of us round after round. Round 1, both blowout their opponents by much more than expected. Round 2, both again destroy their opponents, who had also been in the last Contest, by enough to make them look like Noble Nine people. Round 3, in debated matches, Zelda easily takes care of Aeris, and Yuna easily takes care of Chun-Li. Now, if last year never happened, there may be some talk on this match. But, last year happened, so oh well Yuna. Yeah, if you don’t remember Yuna got thrashed by Ganondorf last year in a 61-39 affair. Now, Zelda is at Ganon’s level…so you put 2 and 2 together. At least Yuna had a good run though…and I’ll give her a couple percent extra for her efforts this Contest. Moltar’s Bracket Says: Zelda will win. Moltar’s Prediction is: Zelda: 59% - Yuna: 41% Ulti’s Analysis We're in the final eight and still have eeeeeeeasy matches on the female side. All this is is a "guess the winner's percent!" type of match. lolcwutididthur? Prediction: Zelda with 65.00% HM’s Analysis Zelda Previous Matches: Zelda – 86.08% -- 102,509 Carmen Sandiego – 13.92% -- 16,578 Zelda – 79.45% -- 92,826 Terra Branford – 20.55% -- 24,005 Zelda – 56.87% -- 71,597 Aeris Gainsborough – 43.13% -- 54,300 Yuna Previous Matches: Yuna – 79.3% -- 97,716 Roll – 20.7% -- 25,501 Yuna – 78.05% -- 89,711 Joanna Dark – 21.95% -- 25,229 Yuna – 60.84% -- 71,634 Chun-Li – 39.16% -- 46,106 Zelda comes into this match looking absolutely dominative in every possible way. She has exceeded both expectations and stats in every single one of her matches. Her latest match gave FFVII its worst loss in contest history, beating out Link’s beat down of Sephiroth in 2002. That kind of strength is very nice to see from Zelda. Yuna, too, comes into this match looking much stronger than usual. She’s exceeded expectations and made Chun-Li look like nothing with an easy victory over here. With all that said, even with both of them having impressed, Zelda comes into this match with much more impressive wins and over stronger characters. She took care of Aeris nearly as well as Yuna took care of Chun-Li; that about takes care of any questions surrounding the winner of this one. What will be really interesting to see in this match is if Zelda can match, or get close, to what Ganon put up on Yuna last year. Of course, Yuna looking stronger this year may have Zelda having trouble matching the percentage, but it will be great if she’s able to. |

| Zelda’s path, for the most part, seems pretty set
regardless of this match. She has a showdown with Samus next round for
the female bracket winner and I think she has a shot there, even if
it’s not a great one. If Zelda can match, or even exceed, Ganon’s
percentage last year, I think she’ll be looking really
good. I doubt she wins without Twilight Princess out, but considering
the new screenshots and trailer that have her in them – she looks fantastic, I might add – she may put on a show here and in the next round. She’s been the highlight of the contest for me and it’ll be good to see that continue here !! Aitch Emm’s Bracket: Zelda Aitch Emm’s Prediction: Zelda – 62% ; Yuna – 38% Aitch Emm’s Vote: Zelda Yoblazer’s Analysis This match has me a lot more conflicted right now than it did about 22 hours ago. On the one hand, Tifa is having one of the great performances in contest history against Samus Aran as we speak. Could Final Fantasy XII be having a profound effect? Could KHII have boosted its female characters more than we previously thought? Add to this the fact that Yuna has already looked amazing herself, and the concept of another FF overperformance is looming its ominous head. However, there's also no denying the fact that Zelda scored 57% against Aeris. Think about it... fifty-seven ****ing percent on a character who many once thought could challenge or even defeat Tifa. I get the feeling that a lot of people will go low here in the face of Tifa's miraculous job, but there's no way I give this to Zelda with less than 57%. Absolutely no way. Hell, up until yesterday, I was ready to put her a good percentage point or so ahead of Ganon's percentage last year (which means I would have picked Zelda with about 62-63%). Sadly, I'm too chicken for that bold of a prediction now, but I still have a feeling Zelda will lay the smack down. Now, if you gentlemen will excuse me, the polls close in less than an hour, and I feel like voting for some reason. America FTW. My prediction: Zelda def. Yuna (60-40) Lopen’s Analysis Yuna doing better than Aeris… it defies all logic we've had from previous years. And yet, I think it could happen here. Yuna has just looked better than Aeris this year. Come on, beating KOS-MOS with 61.65% or beating Chun Li with 60.84%? Which is better? I know I'd take Chun Li to beat KOS-MOS without sweating it too much. Heck, she almost looked as good as freaking Mario against Joanna Dark. So that's what this match boils down to: previous expectations vs. current expectations. I'm taking current. I can't explain why Yuna's suddenly become a bracket steamrolling machine (okay, small brackets!). Maybe she's been hitting the megaelixir this year. Who knows? All I know is based on this year, not 2003 or 2004 or 2005... Yuna's looking better. Does she have a chance? Would be nice… but no, I'm not going that far! Lopen's prediction: Zelda with 55.85% KH’s Analysis lol x-stats history Zelda Summer 2003 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 19th Place [30.29%] Summer 2005 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 14th Place [30.89%] Zelda whipped up on Aeris last round beyond almost anyone's expectations, solidifying her place in the Final Four. And with the way that freaking Samus is performing on the other FF7 girl...Zelda for the Finals??? o_O Yuna Summer 2003 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 34th Place [23.66%] Summer 2005 Contest Extrapolated Strength --- 31st Place [23.92%] Yuna destroys Chun-Li last round, making it her third straight overperformance in a row. If it weren't for the uber-Zelda that we've been seeing, people would be calling for the upset here, believe you me. |
