Fall 2006 Contest Analysis Crew - Part 4

Lugia2 | Posted 11/10/2006 5:18:37 PM | message detail | #401
*Rips up X-stats*

What, the stats that had Crono projected to win with 51.72% against Sonic? Yeah, they totally failed us here.


Your attempt at sarcasm merely confirms what I meant. That kind of change means thousands in votes. Besides, that wasn't the ONLY thing invalidated this contest...Just ask guys like Magus, Megs, Samus (well, if you don't believe the suit theory), Tifa, Bowser (who, due to these new stats, may end up destroying Megs for some reason), Leon...

Still, an X-Stat jitter of barely more than 1% is nothing, don't exaggerate it. Stuff like that happens every year, and it doesn't make the X-Stats much less reliable. You can't use them in close matches, that much should be obvious.

Haha! Another good pick!!

And I'm waiting until I see the picture(s) before sending my analysis, Moltar!

But if it gets too late, I'll just go ahead and type it up real quick and send it.

I kinda feel ashamed of myself though. I mean, the one official analysis I do, and I pass up the opportunity to call the Sonic > Crono upset. Oh well, who cares.....SONIC WINS!

Final Four: Match 61 – (1)Samus vs. (1)Zelda

Moltar’s Analysis

Samus - Zero Suit? How about we see Zero Clothing Samus!
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%)
Round 4 – 50.49% vs. Tifa (49.51%)

Uh…yeah, blame ZSS

Zelda - Needs to call upon the power of “The Link” to overcome this hurdle!
Round 1 – 86.08% vs. Carmen (13.92%)
Round 2 – 79.45% vs. Terra (20.55%)
Round 3 – 56.87% vs. Aeris (43.13%)
Round 4 – 57.02% vs. Yuna (42.98%)

Zelda doesn’t look too dominant last round either

Gosh diddly darn you Zero Sero Suit Samus. You turned what never looked to be a debatable match into one. I mean, up until Round 4, everything had been fine and normal in the world. Samus had looked like her old self, and Zelda looked stronger as well. I mean, she was definitely looking like she would do better than the stats projected.

Then Round 4 hits us, and in comes Zero Suit Samus versus KH2 Tifa. Now, many thought Samus would be relatively fine with ZSS, but once we actually saw Tifa leading against Samus, then yeah, something was up. Now of course, people were stupid and called Tifa either at 40% on BL or Samus at Tifa’s 33% on BL level. That’s WROOOOOOOONG!!!

Samus obviously underperformed against Tifa because some causals just didn’t recognize her in Zero Suit form. Now, the real question is by how much? I mean, Tifa has had AC, KH2, maybe even FFXII-influx for her, but how much of the overperformance can we blame on that and the picture?

Hopefully, Zelda will answer that, and hopefully we’ll see Samus return to full form this match! Zelda has looked great so far in every match up to Yuna, but still, Yuna’s looked like a beast this year, so who knows. I mean, she almost equals Aeris now! Anyway, I think Samus still has a really good shot, but I do think Zelda has boosted, so she’ll do better than projected. People may shoot very low because of what happened last round, but I still think Samus will do pretty decent for herself here.

Moltar’s Bracket Says: Samus will win.

Moltar’s Prediction is: Samus: 56% - Zelda: 44%



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%

Master Moltar | Posted 11/10/2006 10:40:29 PM | message detail | #412
Zelda finally gets to have a showdown with Samus “I Cannot SFF Anything” Aran! For the Princess of Hyrule, this has been an absolute breeze despite having some legitimate competition. Aeris, the one she was expected to lose to, got absolutely rocked from beginning to end. Yuna also got destroyed despite any potential FFXII factor that might have helped her out. Zelda seems to be doing everything right this contest and is really proving herself with some big wins – a long way from the days of just beating Lara Croft or Vivi before losing in round 2 – and she’s looking to possibly make contest history against a fellow Nintendo character here.

Samus has been up, down, and all around in this contest. She came out looking awful against Nidoran F – barely managing 80% -- then comes out look pretty solid by destroying Ada Wong nearly as bad as Nidoran F. She simply met expectations, if not underperformed a bit by stats, against Rikku and finally shocked everyone by barely squeaking by Tifa. Her most recent match, against actual competition, certainly isn’t doing her any favors. There are a number of factors that could have potentially played into that match, but it doesn’t look great for Ms. Aran no matter how you slice it.

This is a match I have felt would be pretty close from the very beginning. I figured that Twilight Princess would have been out by the time this match rolled around pre-contest, but it ends up coming a week after this match. However, the positive thing with this is that it’s so close that full attention has been put on TP again. The media are getting their final copies, screenshots are released daily, and impressions are insanely positive – Zelda even had a new screenshot released of her! I think it all plays into her favor, along with the advantage of coming from Nintendo’s top series, The Legend of Zelda.

Zelda has looked absolutely dominative for this entire contest whereas Samus has looked like she usually does, if not a bit weaker. I think it’s really hard to deny here that Zelda has increased, and any little bit indirectly will help. I think the ability for Zelda to rSFF Samus here is pretty big considering she comes into the match with all the recognition, the focus (TP in one week; MP3 delayed into 2007), and already being very strong. I’m not saying that since Samus got SFFed hard by Mario that she is susceptible to SFF by anyone, but Zelda is hardly some bottom feeder; she’s a definite near-elite.

(Stupid CJayC isn’t going to put up the pictures before this goes out!)

I think this match is going to end up being really close, despite some people thinking it’ll be taken by Samus with ease (LOL EC 60%+). Zelda has everything necessary in her corner to at least break 45% here and easily out do Ganondorf’s percentage last year. Samus seems rather vulnerable, Zelda looks fantastic, and Twilight Princess is a mere week away with tons of media coming out about it constantly. Finally add in potential rSFF going Zelda’s way and we may just indeed see the fall of the Noble Nine here! GO ZELDA !!

Aitch Emm’s Vote: Zelda





Yoblazer’s Analysis

With that blasted blue idiot wrecking everything as we speak, the Wii just days away, and me wondering how I'm actually going to play that Wii between two jobs and the looming semester finals, I'd be stupid not to make this pick!

My prediction: Zelda def. Samus (53-47)



Lopen’s Analysis

I'm really stabbing in the dark on my %age guesstimate with this match. On the one hand, we could get a match similar to we got last round in this:
Master Moltar | Posted 11/10/2006 10:41:01 PM | message detail | #413
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c38/NeoX-Death/ZvSamus.jpg

On the other we could get one like this:

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c38/NeoX-Death/SvZelda.jpg

And this makes the difference between Samus with 51% and Samus with 60%, right there. Okay, I admit those two pictures were over the top (but of course!), but the point is Malibu Suit Samus was the reason she looked so bad against Tifa. And I'd totally have called for it if I bothered to look at match pictures.

Now, given that these pictures are going to be user submitted, I'm thinking Samus is likely to be her power suit, just like we would rather her be. And it's also going to be a cycle of pictures, I'd assume, so even if there is one vile Zero Suit picture in there, it shouldn't be a problem.

But, notice I didn't say "the difference between Samus with 49% and Samus with 60%" even with the Zero Suit, I think Samus would still squeak a win out. She 60-40ed Ganondorf last year, and although Zelda's looking perhaps a tad better (even that's debatable considering Yuna) than Ganondorf was last year, that's still quite a little % to overturn. I don't think she's got it in her. And also, Zelda vs. Tifa would be a pretty tough match for me to call, anyway. Zelda easily? Nah. Zelda wouldn't beat Tifa by much (if at all), I wouldn't think.

I think Zelda kinda depends on the Zero Suit to have any chance, and I don't think she'll be getting it right now. Samus is just too much without it, here.

Lopen's Prediction: Samus with 56.66%



KH’s Analysis

lol wate he mess up? Time for Moltar to step in! Samus is so screwed, but I’ll pick her just because it probably was all because of the picture. darn you samus

Prediction: Solid “I’m your shadow” Snake with 54.30%



Guest’s Analysis - Explicit Content

Alright... I'm going to try to keep this short and sweet, because anyone reading this already knows my feelings on this match, and if you don't, you're probably braindead, or BT. That's assuming you can differentiate the two.

First off, we have Samus, the queen of gaming as we know it! Once upon a time many believed she was the only person capable of giving Mr. Sephiroth a match, other than Clink of course. In 2005 she was the sexy upset over the FF7 villain in the ToC. She came storming right out of the gate putting up 88% on Yuri, making Snake look like a low mid-carder, and beating down Ganon harder than Seph had a few months prior. The Samus cloud was riding sky-high, and the upset train was a rollin' --- then came that slut Mario. That dirty, caniving, two-faced whore put an end to Samus' beautiful run, with his disgusting "rSFF" oh what a trickster you are Mario, what a trickster you are. Now, after this amazing run, looking like she really can rival Seph, people would be giving her, her props right? WRONG, *****. People start talking about crazy things like Crono beating her. Crono! Board 8, how I pity thee.
Master Moltar | Posted 11/10/2006 10:41:39 PM | message detail | #414
Now lets fast forward this baby to this year, if Samus is underrated in the stats, then surely so must the people in her path be, like Yuna, Ganon and Auron, oh what interesting characters! Let's start it off with the estrogen filled portion of the bracket. Yuna comes roaring out, completely decimating Roll, making a should be stronger Joanna look worse than HM's face, tearing Chunners a new one, and overperforming very nicely on Zelda.

Underrated character 1/1.

"Fluke! Crazy! Preposterous!" you say, well I'm glad you're such a skeptic, you're making my job more fun! Ganon. Ganon goes out first round to Vincent with 48%, "what's so impressive about that?" you say, that's what last years stats project! Well my friends, Vincent has had DoC since the last contest, the first game he's ever starred in, along with Advent Children, the highly viewed FF7 movie, who goes on to perform slightly better than the stats predict. Aww EC, looks like your case ends here... how unfortunate. NOT SO FAST STARFOX! Sonic is currently kicking Crono's ass, oh hey look, Ganon is disgustingly underrated last year, SHOCK AND AWE LADIES AND GENTS, SHOCK AND AWE.

Underrated character 2/2.

"Psshaw! I don't believe it, two is just a coincidence, there's nothing you can prove, they just boosted!" Ah my friends, this might be the case if it weren't for my good buddy Auron. Now that man, that man can have be my babies daddy. Me? Oh well... that's for another time. Auron starts off 2K6 making Alucard look as weak as ever, WHAT NO! SUBBY CAN'T BE THAT STRONG! darn you auron... ---- or darn you not! Just when you were disappointing me, you go and bring me a fresh bouquet of flowers and chocolate, aww you're so sweet. You go on to make Crono look like ass making it look like you would thrash the very same Ganon who gave you a solid beating the previous year. Auron, you so sweet!

Underrated character 3/3.

You can't deny it, 3 characters, with only one thing in common, all overperform severely the year after Samus apparently is weaker than Mario indirectly. Hmm... yep, they just all boosted that makes sense, right? RIGHT?!

Now we have Zelda, but who really cares about her anyway? She's the princess you save, yeah, she goes all Sheik action on you in OoT, but to this day I still see people asking why Zelda turns into Sheik in SSB. The voters aren't the most intelligent folk. Ganon however, is the king of Villains, the man who Link must overcome to save the world from darkness time after time. The man cannot be stopped. And you expect a frilly dilly ho like Zelda to outperform the king of evil on Samus? Sassafrass!

I'd like to change my pick to Zelda with 55.55%. I don't think Zelda would have had any problems beating Tifa, and if there's any SFF AT ALL in tomorrow's match, Samus will get Ulti-destroyed.

DpOblivion's Quick Analysis:

Sorry for being late, I was too busy playing Sonic the Hedgehog 2 in celebration of SONIC'S VICTORY OVER CRONO!!!!! (Swear I didn't check out the poll yet though)

Oh yeah, Samus vs. Zelda now. Wow....all the times I kept saying, "The Noble Nine is not falling this contest," I was really referring to the male half, because I never thought we'd be in the position to think of Samus being the one knocked off. But sure enough, after struggling mightily against Tifa, we worry about her against Princess Zelda, who has been dominant all contest long. Is there really an upset in the making?

Well, the thing is, these are two prominent Nintendo characters, so obviously we will see SFF here. Samus has obviously shown to be stronger, but could Zelda, from the more popular series, rSFF Samus like Mario did? Well, Zelda isn't the main character like Mario is, but still the name of the series.

With all the Twilight Princess hype going on now, I really would not be surprised if Zelda wins this match. And you know what? Screw it, this contest has been so unbelievablely crazy, I'm gonna call for the upset. Oh, and this was definitely no quick analysis, sorry.

My vote: Zelda
My bracket: Samus
My prediction: Zelda with 53%

Just an idea for the BR...what if, like the BR, the person who does the worst in the BR at the end of each day is done with predictions for the rest of it? MM, KH, HM, yo, Ulti, Lopen, and the guest of the day would get to predict the first day of the BR...and each day, as one character goes down, so does a predictor, until only two people get to predict the final match (as if Link/Cloud needs 7 different write-ups, really). It would make it a bit more competitive with the predictors as well, and could be a good chance for somebody to make a come-from-behind lead-jump in the points (both MM's and yo's).

Not that the classic format wouldn't work, but for a funny style of contest matches and a number of predicters that fit this idea perfectly, hey, worth a thought at least.








Oh, and in the event of a tie, I think Paper Rock Scissors is mandatory.

KH is going Cloud, so this match needs more writeups than most of the female bracket matches. >_>

Oh, then KH could stand to lose early so he doesn't lose any points off of yo's system then!

The idea of not being able to do a write-up for Link after enduring that female bracket would be quite saddening!

Interesting idea. That would add a twist. But I would rather still see everyone's analysis. Or at least, you can make a game of it to see who would win, that'd be cool, as long as all the predictions still go up.
