Division 1: Round 1 - Match 4 – Agent 47 vs. Kratos Aurion vs. Midna vs. Scorpion Moltar’s Analysis Agent 47 Game/Series Known From: Hitman Seed in 2005: 7 Lost in 2005 to Sora in Round 1 Um…should I be happy he’s back? Kratos A. Game/Series Known From: Tales of Symphonia Seed in 2005: 4 Lost in 2005 to Diablo in Round 1 Yay Kratos! Always cool to see ToS around. Midna Game/Series Known From: Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess She should be a very interesting character to watch. Scorpion Game/Series Known From: Mortal Kombat Seed in 2002: 5 Seed in 2003: 10 Seed in 2004: 14 Lost in 2002 to Link in the Elite 8 Lost in 2003 to Zero in Round 1 Lost in 2004 to Auron in Round 1 Scorps returns! “Get over here!” Divison 1 ends with a semi-predictable match. Agent 47 ends up last easily enough. He isn’t going anywhere from 2005. The next three are pretty interesting though. Kratos lost to Diablo in 2005, but he has the loyal Tales fanbase behind him, which should keep him from ending up too far behind. Scorpion, who usually ends up out in Round 1, is in a four-pack that he could end up taking. Looking at his matches with Zero and Auron, he easily ranks above Kratos. Plus, Sub-Zero did very well last year, so if anything, Scorpion could benefit from a MK boost. However, the huge wildcard is Midna. Ever since last year, speculation about her strength is high all around. Twilight Princess was, at least at GameFAQs, the Game of the Year last year. Midna was a very important character in the game, and we already know that anything in Zelda, even Tingle, won’t bomb. Midna could rank from either a low-midcard at worst to high-midcard at best. Why does this matter? Well, it makes all the difference between her taking #1 or #2. That means I get to do a little guessy-guessy as to how Midna will do. I think TP is big enough to get her the push over Scorpion. I would actually say Scorps is the safe bet in this match, as MK does have a good-sized fanbase here, but for those of us that like to live ON THE EDGE, Midna isn’t a bad choice at all. Moltar’s Bracket Says: Midna > Scorpion > Kratos > Agent 47 Moltar’s Prediction is: Midna: 36% - Scorpion: 32% - Kratos: 22% - Agent 47: 10% Ultimaterializer’s Analysis This is the first really difficult match of the bracket, because all we know for sure is that Agent 47 likely takes last place. As popular as Midna is, she's a new and untested character, and it's always a risk putting a lot of faith in new and untested characters. Unless you're in the most hyped Zelda game of all time and end up with some very good character development. Midna is similar to Navi, only she doesn't suck ass. I *think* putting Midna in first place is the best choice, partly because of her role as a popular Zelda character, and partly because I just don't think Kratos or Scorpion can hack it with her. Which brings us to Scorpion and Kratos. The last time we saw Kratos, he was one and done in the Summer 2005 Contest and put up a decent performance on Diablo. The last time we saw Scorpion was the Summer 2004 Contest, where he put up 35% on Auron and ended up pretty damn underrated because of Sephiroth going SFF on Auron in that contest. Then there's Sub-Zero, whose amazing feats of last year can't really be chalked up as a fluke, because he broke 40% on Auron well after the release of Armageddon and the whole Master Chief mess. The MK duo has some deceptive strength to them, and both are considerably stronger than Kratos heads-up. |

| Kratos's only hope is that fan favorites tend to
overperform in big polls like this, but Tales of Symphonia has fallen
so far off the map since its first year of being beloved that I don't
think Kratos can make up the ground on Scorpion. Midna > Scorpion
here seems safe enough, but Kratos could still surprise. Ulti's Prediction: Midna [32.36%] Scorpion [27.84%] Kratos Aurion [23.35%] Agent 47 [16.45%] Heroic Mario’s Analysis Midna -- 38% Scorpion -- 33% Kratos Aurion -- 21% Agent 47 -- 8% First close match of the contest? aww yeah. I’m not sure what most people are expecting for this match, but I’m expecting Scorpion to do pretty well. The fighting game fans are a loyal bunch. If they’re still supporting their character even without any major new games, they’re not going to jump ship when it comes to competition like this. Scorpion combines the loyal fighting game fanbase and being huge casual bait. It could end up being enough for him to slip by and get a win here. It’s tough to gauge just how well Midna’s going to do in these contests, too, because even though she was a highlight in Twilight Princess, Zelda characters that aren’t Link, Zelda, or Ganon are unproven. For a series as hugely popular here as Zelda, it has only produced three constant characters, which is as big a sign as any, I think -- not many people care about any of the others, regardless of their role. Although Midna having a central role in a game as popular as TP should be better than some of the other secondary Zelda characters we’ve seen over the years. If Scorpion can manage a close second, it should give us an idea of how well he’ll do when Samus is thrown into the equation. Almost stealing a win in this match would just about ensure that he’ll be able to take second in the Samus fourpack due to SFF; a close second would give him the favorite status; getting blown out (and losing, obviously) would just about ruin his chances. But, as far as this match is concerned, the two winners are obvious. It’s just a matter of figuring out which of them comes out on top, and I’m going to go with the Zelda character on this one. Bracket: Midna > Scorpion Vote: Midna Yoblazer’s Analysis Here's a match which could get interested. We have two contest newcomers, an old timer who's returning for the first time in years, and a lower-tier character with very little contest experience. Agent 47, get out. One down. Scorpion, move your iconic self to the next round. That's two. Now, much to my surprise, I did hear some pre-contest debate as to whether or not Midna, the newest star from the famed Legend of Zelda series, can even make it out of this round, so I'll address this in slight detail. Logically assuming that Scorpion is a lock for the next round and Agent 47 is a lock for a relatively distant fourth place finish, Midna's only real competition here is Kratos Aurion, a side character from Tales of Symphonia. Kratos, whose only contest match was a 43% loss against Diablo two years ago, doesn't stand much of a chance here. Even if ToS has maintained its popularity from 2-3 ago (something I'm not so quick to pass off as a guarantee), he's still up against the central character of the most popular Zelda game since Ocarina of Time. I believe that some people are doubtful of Midna's strength because other more recent Zelda characters, most notably Tingle and Navi, have been completely rejected by the fanbase. Midna differs from these losers not only because she is critical to Twilight Princess's plot and gameplay, but because her fan reception has been overwhelmingly positive. I don't see what Kratos can do against her other than sit down and be quiet. |

| While Midna's place in Round 2 is guaranteed, her
opening match placement isn't. Unlike Kratos Aurion and Agent 47,
Scorpion is a gaming icon and a contest veteran with some very
respectable results under his belt. After seeing what his (admittedly
cooler and stronger) buddy, Sub-Zero, did last year, it's safe to say
that the masked Mortal Kombat ninjas still have some power. Is that
enough to give him the top nod here? Doubt it. Once again, Scorpion may
be a good competitor, but he's up against the well-received, central
character of the most popular game to hit this site in years. I have
Midna doing very well in her inaugural contest, and I have her winning
today. Midna - 38% Scorpion - 32% Kratos - 21% Agent 47 - 9% Lopen’s Analysis I'll just shoot straight here: I'm not a good one to do any "analysis" on this match. Midna is the hard thing to place in this one, and I've just got no idea on it. I've heard thoughts on Midna ranging from "the most significant character in Twilight Princess" to "Twilight Princess's Navi." I'm not even sure what she looks like. I google image search her and find pictures of various Zelda characters, a piranha plant, and a very nice George Foreman Grill. So yeah, I'm worthless for this match. AGENT 47 IS GOIN' DOWN, MAN! I took Midna to win second, but I can't say for sure that I'd pick that if I were educated on this match. But hey, I'll try Twilight Princess... eventually. Scorpion vs Kratos Aurion is not to be ignored here, either, but I figure Midna hurts Kratos (and vice versa, hence why I've taken Scorpion for 1st) more than Scorpion, so I'm taking Scorpion. And Scorpion's just done more in these things than Kratos. Give me any result that doesn't involve Agent 47 and I'm not too surprised, though. Lopen's Prediction: Scorpion – 33.12% Midna – 27.14% Kratos Aurion – 24.70% Agent 47 – 15.04% Karma Hunter’s Analysis This contest keeps trying to top itself with each new match, eh? Well, here we have something that's *hopefully* a bit more predictable. Midna and Scorpion are almost assuredly ahead of 47 and Kratos A. here (knock on wood), but who wins between them? Scorpion has always been a decent midcarder, but he hasn't seen the contest in years and has been overshadowed by Sub-Zero's stellar upset of MC last year (although that probably gives some people confidence in him as well). Midna... is an absurd looking creature who wouldn't get many votes at all except for one reason - her stature in the new Zelda: Twilight Princess. Basically I find this to be faith in Zelda - TP specifically - against a semi-proven midcarder. I'm not about to stop believing in Nintendo - let alone ZELDA - yet, so I'm tossing her my confidence. Karma Hunter's Vote: Agent 47. The Hitman would blow away all of these losers in a proper world. =/ Karma Hunter's Krazy Prediction: Midna with 34%, Scorpion with 30.5%, Kratos Aurion with 22.5%, Agent 47 with 13% Upset Prediction: 70% Crapshoot, crapshoot, crapshoot. Right there is Scorpion, with his iconic picture, one that EVERYONE will recognize. Not everyone - not even hardcore Zelda fans - have played TP, let alone who Midna is. ToS's stalwart niche/cult vote is certainly gonna be there for Kratos A. And there's even Agent 47 there... who might siphon votes or something? It's hard to tell what's gonna happen here. I'll hold on to Zelda and the proven contestant and hope for the best. |

Transience’s Analysis Midna is perhaps our most unpredictable new entrant. Twilight Princess is easily the most popular game that has come out in the last twelve months, and Midna is pretty much the featured character throughout. if 25% of the site will vote an unlikable character in Tingle over Sora, what are they going to do with the new and exciting Midna? on the other hand, she's just a more likable Navi from a less popular game, and I doubt many people would pick Navi over Scorpion and Kratos Aurion. still, I think the Nintendo support that she'll pull in should be enough to take first place comfortably here. you can make a case for Kratos coming in second. 2005 stats put him as Kefka's equal, and he probably has the same kind of hardcore fanbase that Kefka inspires. the Tales of Symphonia fanbase is a pretty rabid bunch and they're not as small as your standard non-Square RPG. if Scorpion or Midna ends up flopping, I wouldn't be *too* surprised to see Kratos take it here. but as it is, I'm going with the safe pick. Scorpion's looking to do well after Sub-Zero impressed so many last year, and Midna's got Nintendo on her side. tough to argue against either of those. sorry Kratos, you got a bad draw. if you were in Lloyd's place we'd have a near consensus for second, and if you were in Zelos's division a lot more people would be going for the upset. Midna's in Zelda Scorpion's the most well-known Kratos ends up third transience's prediction: Midna - 38.54%, Scorpion - 31.33%, Kratos Aurion - 24.78%, Agent 47 - 5.35% Crew Consensus: Everyone (except for Lopen of course!) has Midna > Scorpion here. Banking on the power of TP! |

DpOblivion's Supposedly-Unofficial-But-Apparently-Not Supposedly-Quick-But-Apparently-Not Analysis: Okay, perfect bracket gone, and right before the big test, too. It seems the board, though fairly split, is favoring Midna beating out Scorpion. Midna is from the 2nd most popular series, The Legend of Zelda, appearing in the most recent installment, Twilight Princess. Only being in one new game should cause problems for Midna, but the board seems convinced that since that one game is Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, he should be fine. However, I do not think he will be fine. I see Scorpion and see him taking a majority of the casual votes. Mortal Kombat isn't too strong against tough competition, but against the less known, they can be mighty dangerous getting the casual vote. Sure, Midna being in LoZ could be considered casual, but it's only one game. If that one game was LttP or OoT, then it could be different, but this being the most recent installment could hurt, even though the game is still pretty popular already. Kratos Aurion shouldn't be overlooked, as he could be a dark horse, but he's not going to get the casual vote, so I can't see him being able to get ahead of Midna. Agent 47 doesn't pose much of a threat, but he may be underrated. Doesn't matter though. In the end, there's no big threat here. I don't even see the top competitors Scorpion and Midna being able to get 1/3 of the vote each, though I'm prepared to be proven wrong there. But I do expect the casual vote to carry Scorpion to victory. Though I'm prepared to be proven wrong there as well, honestly.... DpOblivion's bracket says: Scorpion > Midna DpOblivion's prediction is: Scorpion > Midna Confidence Rating: 40% Scorpion - 31.5% Midna - 29.5% Kratos Aurion - 22% Agent 47 - 17% --- Dp, you are one awesome, sexy bastard.

Midna > Scorp > Kratos > 47 Midna is Nintendo. Scorpion had 2k2. Kratos is from ToS, a mildly cult game. Who the hell is Agent 47? Midna - 40% Scorp - 37% Kratos - 15% Agent 47 - 8% |

Tomorrow's Predictions First Glance: It consists of: Agent 47 Kratos Aurion Midna Scorpion Its going to be a close one, They all have sweet pics, mostly Agent 47. However: Midna: 32.18% Yoshi got 36 off of stronger competition, and Midna is definitely a good bit weaker than him, but her opponents are close in competition as well. Twilight Princess is a freakin' awesome game, and Midna is not annoying like Navi was in OoT. This should get her enough votes to win. Scorpion: 29.64%. Scorpion, definitely not as cool as Sub-Zero, but still hardcore enough to knock into the next round. He hasn't been around for awhile, but with this easy competition, he should take 2nd with no problem. Kratos A.: 22.36% I didn't know who this was prior to the match, but apparently, Kratos (of ToS) is supposed to give the others a good run for their money. He might, its hard to tell, but In the end, I say no. Agent 47: 15.82% Thats right, Agent 47 falls to last, despite his hardcore pic. I don't think many people know who he is, although they will probably recognize him off of his pic. But why would they vote for him without playing the game? >_> Thats serious. --- Come visit my board, Hektik, In the C-64 today! Not changing this until Casey Mears wins his 2nd Nascar Cup race.

guys, it was MIDNA. I seriosuy can't believe the 38%+ picks. She's a
secondary character from a brand new game (even if it IS TP). Most
people who play Zelda do not give a damn about who's giving them advice
and helping them a little bit, especially if she's only been in one

Yoblazer - 1 Tran - 1 KH - 1 Moltar - 0 Ulti - 0 HM - 0 Lopen - 0 Guest - 0 Crew Accuracy Challenge - Ulti gets the points for Samus and Axel, HM gets a point for Frog, and Yo gets a point for Kerrigan Ulti - 3 Yoblazer - 2 HM - 2 Guest (Bokonon_Lives) - 2 Moltar - 1 KH - 1 Lopen - 1 Tran - 1 --- Moltar Status: The Analysis Crew...believe Agent 47/Kratos/Midna/Scorpion - Bracket: Midna > Scorpion - Vote: Kratos (12/12) |

...So why did so many of you pick Agent 47 to get 10% or less? Who
exactly was strong enough to do that to him? 30% on Sora ain't shabby
at all... --- "I'm no hero...Never was. I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work." |

three appealing options to three different kinds of people. casual vote taking Scorpion. something like that. basically, I didn't think people on this site knew 47 very well at all. being near Kratos is pretty shocking - or maybe it's just difficult to flop hard in this format. I dunno. --- http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/258/cloudvsjillvsocloectvsmfw4.jpg now playing: PW3, Jeanne d'Arc |

This board is still half convinced he is the Neo-Tanner that he was
pegged to be in the first contest, when in reality, he never was. --- Donkey Kong Country 2 for next Games contest. This line reserved for next Guru winner. Unless it's me, therefore reserving plenty of noms for Dixie/DKC2. |

More like FOUR appealing options appealing to FOUR different kinds of
people. These characters don't seem to have that much in common. I know
Hitman isn't as popular here as it is overall, but to say a guy from a
series that has sold quite well is going to be unrecognizable to the
point that he gets 10% or less against essentially three low midcarders
(Scorpion might be a bit higher than that, obviously) is strange. He
got 30% against Sora, who is noticeably above any of the other three.
You can question Sora's anti-votes if you want, but honestly, 10% or
less was an unrealistic expectation. --- "I'm no hero...Never was. I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work." |

I never pegged him as such. I actually knew who he was before 2k5! that
doesn't change the fact that I was skeptical about his ability to bring
in more than a small percentage of votes. --- http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/258/cloudvsjillvsocloectvsmfw4.jpg now playing: PW3, Jeanne d'Arc |
