Gear Division: Round 1 - Match 54 – (6) Zero vs. (11) Marcus Fenix Moltar’s Analysis Zero Has Zero chance of losing this match. Marcus Needs the power of a Phoen-…Fenix to win. So Zero may have lost to Ryu H. two years ago, but Fenix lost to Rydia. The former may not be good, but the latter is just embarrassing. Gears just continues to fade away, but Marcus will probably look better than he should here because it’s a day match. Moltar’s Bracket: Zero > Marcus Moltar’s Prediction: Zero: 65% - Marcus: 35% Lopen’s Analysis I expect Zero to follow in the footsteps of the old "noble nine breakers." You know who I mean. Tidus, Magus. Those guys. We've seen the guy deteriorate... losing to Luigi, then last year was the worst when Ryu freakin Hayabusa trounced him... now granted, there were other factors at work that allowed Hayabusa to beat him, but I think Zero's downward spiral continues this year. Relatively speaking, anyway. All this really means is he has no chance against Auron, and looks disappointing against Marcus. I don't think he's dropped enough to actually lose to Marcus "I lost to ~Rydia~" Fenix. But I wouldn't be totally dumbfounded if I was wrong here. Lopen's prediction: Zero with 55.00% Transience’s Analysis Both of these guys have sucked in recent years. Zero was once a top 20 guy who now loses to the likes of Hayabusa. Marcus Fenix slammed Kefka and then lost to Rydia. Needless to say, neither guy is going to challenge Auron next round. Zero obviously wins here. He probably won't dominate, but Marcus Fenix has fallen off hard in the last year and has had no reason to improve. Gears was hot in 2006 and 2007, but as the site has shifted away from the 360 since, he's taken the worst hit of them all. transience's prediction: Zero with 64.89% Ngamer’s Analysis Fantastical writeup coming soon! Ngamer Says: Zero > Marcus, 63.46% Kleenex’s Analysis Marcus Fenix looked like he could have been somebody back in 2007. He ripped up the ASV like no one's business and made a fairly surprising run into the third round. FPS characters are probably never going to be all that strong on this site, but Marcus seemed like he might be worth seeing as a yearly entrant at least. After all, with more exposure from Gears of War 2 in the coming year, surely he'd get stronger, right? Whoops, he lost to Rydia. Something weird happened in that match and I don't know what. I feel like some unknown factor kept him down and I think he's probably going to look a little bit better this year. Certainly not enough to beat Zero, but he probably doesn't lose as embarassingly as he might. Day match and all. Bracket: Zero Favorites: Zero Prediction: Zero with 63.61% Red Sox’s Analysis This is another match with an obvious winner involving a fairly strong character. Zero used to be one of the top near-elites, but has now been relegated to the status of a midcarder. Marcus Fenix, however, is still no match for someone who once outperformed Snake on Megaman. Marcus got 37.52% on Sub-Zero last year, and Zero and Sub-Zero are probably pretty close, so I’ll go with that here. Prediction: Zero with 62.48% Upset Potential: 0% Upper Bound: Zero with 67% Lower Bound: Zero with 58% Guest’s Analysis - Chaotic Mind All that needs to be said about this match is Fenix lost to an Auron-SFF'ed Rydia. Z-saber >>> chainsaw gun Chaotic's Prediction: Zero - 66.80% Crew Consensus: Zero more like 100% chance of winning |
I'd agree with Lopen here, except that crazy talk about Tidus being a former threat to the NN. What is that I don't even --- :> |
Haven't reviewed these "early" returns yet. Ngamer's Fantastical Writeup Dang it all Ellis! Until yesterday, the award for Biggest Overperformance of R1 was going to be delivered to a very worthy recipient: Kefka, who overcame all x-stats, past results, and common sense to somehow post a smashing victory over Arthas. Now the trophy will instead be rewarded to someone who simply drew a incredible chump of an opponent on his best possible day, but who had looked so awful the previous year that we had reservations about his ability to crack 60 even under perfect circumstances. But jeez, what a weird year this is turning into... Pikachu pulling off a bigger win than Cloud and Snake I could understand, since you could make a case for that being a fairly traditional SFF situation. But Commander Shepard, the guy who got doubled by Magus? And here I thought the Ratchet blowout was disgusting! Tonight we're in for a pretty sweet Night Match. Well, I guess you could argue it's NOT sweet, since we're once again seeing a character with pretty respectable strength being wasted in a no-win situation, but I'm pretty excited for it anyways. Firstly because this is a great opportunity for a Squall vs Auron comparison: Squall put up 58% on Aeris in their R1 match back in 2007 (which is probably fairly accurate since Akuma and Geno seem independent enough and this was before people started anti-voting favorites in droves). If Auron can push this into the 60s I think I'd be fair to move that destined duel into "toss up" territory, and anything more he does will go a long ways toward establishing himself as a favorite. The second reason I'm excited for this one is that old Contest adage, "Don't bet against FF7." For seven years that was a very useful piece of advice in nearly every situation, but recently... The clean loss to Ocarina was one thing, but to follow that up with a frankly embarrassing outing by Cid Highwind before watching the King Himself stub his toe against Ridley of all people- ouch! Now, you could make a perfectly good counter-argument by saying that even if 7 has weakened, look how easily it still crushed FFX with SFF! That's a legitimate point when it comes to the games, but I'm still thinking that Auron has the distinct upper hand between these two characters, and expect him to post a percentage that sends a chill up Squall's spine as a result.

Well
Tidus went 50-50 with Ganondorf, who went 50-50 with Magus, who broke
35% on Link...in retrospect seeing Sam Fisher and Tidus get killed
badly in '04 should have warned us of Magus' bomb, but what do we know? |

Looks like the Guest wins the Accuracy Challenge today. why does NGamer always post his writeups hours after he posts his percentages? That is strange.

Gear Division: Round 1 - Match 55 – (7) Darth Revan vs. (10) Terra Branford Moltar’s Analysis Revan Congrats Yo. Terra Congrats…no one. Terra sucks, hard. The word “Darth” alone should be able to beat her, and Revan will have to be pretty weak to lose to her. I think the average KotOR player will vote for him though (and he gets the Star Wars vote watch out Link). KotOR isn’t that strong though, and certainly not FF6 strong, but I don’t need to tell you how weak FF6 characters are (well we’ll have to take a second look at Kefka thanks to…whatever he did against Arthas, but I’m pretty sure than was Arthas sucking in 1v1). Terra’s been blown out by Dante and Zelda, and her only win was a small victory over Kerrigan, who got killed by Vincent. Like I said, she’s weak stuff, and Revan can probably win this on name alone. For some reason though…I feel uneasy. Moltar’s Bracket: Revan > Terra Moltar’s Prediction: Revan: 54% - Terra: 46% Lopen’s Analysis Dude has a lightsaber, man. His name is DARTH Revan. That's all you need to know-- that's all he'll need to beat Terra. Least, that's what I was gonna say before old school Dissidia characters started impressing left and right. You could potentially blame their opponents, but I'm not sure I completely buy that one. I'm still favoring Revan here because Terra should get ANTI votes from Dissidia if anything, and Terra's a good notch below Kefka and perhaps even Cecil contest strengthwise. Plus Dissidia failing on new Square does make you doubt whether it's a universal problem solver. Lopen's Predicton: DARTH Revan with 51.99% Transience’s Analysis There's a bit of hype around this match - Revan is OMG DARTH DUDE WITH LIGHTSABER and Terra is OMG KEFKA WON DISSIDIA BOOST. I think both of these are overblown. I don't think people will vote for Darth Revan just because of a picture or a name. Maybe if they don't know either, but Terra is fairly well-known and we aren't dealing with Amano art here. She has actual green hair now! That said, KOTOR has shown that it is a decent contest force, what with getting two characters in and Bioware being hot thanks to ME2. Darth Revan can have strength, it just wouldn't be for the Darth Factor. I'm going against my bracket and backing Terra though. Terra is just more well-known on this website. If there's one group that's performed above expectations this year, it's been Old Square. Cecil almost beat Knuckles. Kefka slammed Arthas. Some people screamed DISSIDIA BOOST but I think there's more to it than that - though if that is what's happening, Terra's in Dissidia too. I just think people are backing Old Square a bit more these days for whatever reason. Darth Revan is like... we nominated and backed him because his name is Darth. He can't realistically be stronger than HK, who is probably on about Terra's level. Darth's main thing going for him is if people are neutral and back the guy with the lightsaber. I don't like betting on that. transience's prediction: Terra with 56.01% Ngamer’s Analysis Fantastical writeup coming soon! Ngamer Says: Terra > Not Darth Vader, 50.01% |
Kleenex’s Analysis More like Terra BLANDFORD. LOL! So, we all know Terra sucks. She was able to beat Kerrigan, big deal. The real thing to being in question here is Kefka's performance. Was it DISSIDIA BOOST working its magic? If you're inclined to believe that, Terra could win here. I think it was more Arthas sucking. Revan's got the look and the LIGHTSABER, so he should take this one down. I wouldn't be blown away if Terra won, but I think Revan should be the favorite. KOTOR always manages to impress somehow. Bracket: Revan Favorites: Revan Prediction: Revan with 55.34% Red Sox’s Analysis Sorry, pressed for time tonight, so this will be shorter than it should be. Terra has always been very weak, and this match looked pretty obvious before the contest, but then Kefka amazed us by crushing Arthas with 60%. One of the theories for what happened was a large Dissidia boost- but I don’t buy it. A Dissidia boost I can buy, yes, but not one large enough to turn an easy Arthas victory into a 60-40 for Kefka. Most of it was probably from Arthas being heavily overrated thanks to 4-ways, where it did not matter that half the site hates World of Warcraft. Meanwhile, Darth Revan (with a red lightsaber!) should be stronger than HK-47, who should beat Terra. Let’s go with….. Prediction: Darth Revan with 59.80% Upset Potential: 20% Upper Bound: Revan with 68% Lower Bound: Terra with 52% Guest’s Analysis - Luis_Sera89 I don’t know why I’ve had my eye on this match since the bracket was released, and especially so at this point of the contest. I’ve backed Terra since Day 1, but getting this match right isn’t going to undo the handful of matches I’ve gotten wrong up until now. It’s also only worth one point with Squall looming, so there isn’t even the Tidus/Subby factor to point to. I don’t even have anything against Revan; he’s a pretty cool character. So I guess it’s all just down to Mercs pride, and supporting one of the lynchpins of my team (inside reference). Not that that was a deciding factor in picking her in my bracket of course! It’s not down to Terra’s strength that I picked her; she doesn’t have the most esteemed contest history. One workmanlike win over Kerrigan of all people in the Female bracket, as well as two reamings to Zelda and Dante. It’s more that, unlike the majority of people, I have no confidence in Revan being worth much of anything in a contest setting. HK-47 is the KotOR character that’s been getting in all these years, he’s the fan favourite. Revan is the main character sure, but I can’t see him being stronger than HK, and he’s around the fodder line. He lost pretty easily to L-block this year; something I don’t think is going to have quite the same strength 1-on-1. So it doesn’t bode well for Revan. I did put a little stock in Dissidia boosting Terra slightly too. It’s some much needed new exposure, and did something to push her away from the ensemble cast identity. I didn’t think it would help massively or anything, but it couldn’t hurt. Then Cecil and Kefka showed up. The likes of Cloud and Tidus didn’t seem to improve, but Dissidia really seems to have been something of a lifeblood for old Square characters so far, and I don’t see any reason for it to be different for Terra. Sonic Team may have dropped the ball recently, but not so much for Cecil to suddenly look like a contender against Knuckles on his own accord. Not long afterwards, Kefka flat out wowed everyone against Arthas. We know where Terra was, and Dissidia isn’t going to have to make that much of an impression to beat Revan, in my opinion. Even with a lightsaber in the picture. Speaking of pictures, we finally get something new for Terra. I short, and in a night math to boot, this is one upset I’m not about to get cold feet over.

Haven't reviewed these "early" returns yet. Ngamer's Fantastical Writeup Hmmm... well, that was a good effort, Auron. BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Under normal circumstances I'd call coming up 1/2 a percent short of Squall a wash and named the Destined Duel "too close to call" pending what Squall shows us in R1. But these aren't normal circumstances- as we went over yesterday, I don't think FF7 packs the same punch it did back in '06/'07, and if anything Aerith herself has been tailing off for even longer, so for the moment I've got to pick against my bracket and say that Squall deserves his favorite status. Now, that's not to say he's necessarily going to KEEP IT; considering how flaccid heavy favorites have looked all season, as long as Akuma doesn't turn his back on the camera again I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Squall underwhelms us a couple days from now. Now we move on to one of the better matchups of R1! ...is what I would have said in 2008, when Marcus was coming in hot off one of the most insane ASVs ever against Kefka and looked pretty decent in advancing to R3. Unfortunately 2008 ruined any illusions we might have had regarding this being a hard fought affair, but that being said, I still don't think Zero beats Fenix TOO easily in this one. People seem to have forgotten that last time around Marcus in a pretty bad position, going up against against FF4 (which had been looking hot in general all season) and Rydia (who was looking hot in particular on match day)- sure it was an embarrassing loss, but I don't think it dooms him quite as badly as most seem to believe. He's still got an appealing character design and he'll still have at least a portion of that Xbox day vote behind him, so I'm liking him to hang in there a little bit. You could also have made a much better case for this match about two weeks ago, back when we naturally assumed that Cpt Price's solid showing had been 80% the fault of on ongoing MM series collapse. Fortunately for Zero, every result since then has been pointing in the opposite reaction: MM himself looked pretty good, Proto Man was very impressive against tough competition, and CoD proved itself by... okay, so MacMillian was awful, but have you SEEN the guy? (The answer is no, no one has!) But I'm sure CoD WILL prove itself as not being the new GTA once Soap's match rolls around. In summary, I can't pick against the MM series right now, but don't expect anything approaching the huge blowouts we saw 24 hours ago either!

Dannnnng,
that's some mighty respectable work by Zero. I DID expect to see him at
67%, but my timing was slightly off... which is to say he was supposed
to be way up there in the first five minutes before coming off
of his board vote high and then tumbling to the mighty Xbox afternoon
vote for most of the next 8-9 hours. Instead he was at 69% very early
on, stabilized at 67 by the end of the opening hour, and then just sat
there the entire rest of the day. What the heck, Marcus?! You were
supposed to be the next Master Chief- how do you go up against a guy
who Ryu Hayabusa crushed all afternoon and not even make a dent
with the ASV? I guess part of the problem is that 12 hour matches have
compressed American voting so much that trends don't stick out like
they used to, at least in Day Matches. But the bigger problem is how
Marcus SUCKS and should never be invited to a Character Battle ever
again! Well, at least not unless Gears 3 is released the week before
his R1 match and he has an opportunity to go all super saiyan on us,
Shepard-style. We've now arrived at a match where the winner is (please be seated before continuing on to this shocking announcement) NOT set in stone. *shocked gasps from the audience* (Wait, Sackboy's match was really only 4 days ago? It feels like 4 weeks!) This is one of those very cool setups where we've got a raw and untested new character with at least a little strength, potentially, going up against a veteran who has looked so awful that losing to ANYONE seems possible. From the looks of things, SB attempted to set up these matches all over the place this season... except he forgot that whole "little strength, potentially" part, leaving us to suffer through blowouts by Ratchet and Shepard (ugh). Taking chumps like those two into consideration, I don't think Terra's performances have been all THAT awful, really. 30% against a Dante who went on to look respectable against Vincent is nothing to cry about, and in the Kerrigan match she at least proved she can convincingly knock off bad fodder when given the opportunity. Which brings us to the most important question of the night: is Revan bad fodder? I'm going to go with... no. HK-47 isn't, and Revan's got the added advantages of looking really cool in this match pic, wielding a light saber, and having "Darth" in his name. In other words, this one's an open and shut case, right? NOT SO FAST. I've still got a few concerns: * although I nominated Revan myself, I've got to admit I only did so because yo promised me he'd be "the perfect Darth Vader proxy". but, this guy doesn't look like Vader at all! color me disappointed. * everyone's jumping on the Revan bandwagon in the last couple days, which would normally scare me into doing the same- but I'm always distrustful of NRT winners. sure, we occasionally strike it rich with a Charizard, but for every diamond in the rough it seems there are about two Yoshimitsus. how much of this bandwagoning is actually BELIEVING Revan's going to be worth something rather than just HOPING for it? * I made a big speech about the "respectable" size of this site's Star Wars fanbase before the L-Block match, and all it got me was a burnt bracket. you'll have to forgive me if I don't rush to put my eggs in that basket again * we know Dissidia didn't do much for Tidus, but I'd still argue it could be a bigger deal for people with less exposure this decade (Kefka/Cecil/Terra). not a game changer, but perhaps enough to tip the scales in a close poll like this one. I also like that this is a Night Match- granted old Square doesn't exactly light Europe on fire, but I think Terra still benefits by avoiding an afternoon of (diminished) Xbox support Summary: Revan's got plenty of intangibles on his side, but I'm going to side with the known quality in Terra. With 0% confidence, but still! Ng Says: Terra > Revan, 50.01% |
From: Ngamer64 | #486 granted old Square doesn't exactly light Europe on fire People need to realize more that FF7 was the first FF released in Europe. We get all the remakes on GBA and DS and whatever that come out now, but we've never had them before. --- Hence Old Square in Europe. |

I hate that she got into Dissidia, i would have preferred any other playable FFVI character over her except Relm and Strago. this says more about Darth Revan than Terra, to be honest.

voted for Revan because Terra has like...NO APPEAL!!! And yet, we get

The game is excellent, but Terra is lame. Not the least... She's my favorite party character (Kefka is obviously my favorite character)... Personally I find it much more interesting when characters show weakness and having layers rather than being "cool" all the time. Incidentally I hate pretty much universally all characters who's primary characteristic is "coolness"... Like Dante... I HATE Dante... And his games suck hard too... I'm kinda going of on a tangent here... Yeah... Better cut it off... --- Nominate B.B. Hood for CB IX http://miniurl.org/ntI |
how much of this bandwagoning is actually BELIEVING Revan's going to be worth something rather than just HOPING for it? This resonates extremely well with me. There was a sort of self-reinforcing Revan hype loop and it contained an awful lot of people that absolutely love KotOR. --- Sort of like the time loop in FF1 except with Revan hype. |
People
were putting all their money on a Lightsaber and the word "Darth". They
hoped that mindless Star Wars drones would vote for the obvious Star
Wars character without caring a thing about the actual character
itself. I have to give the casuals credit though, they didn't bite on
it. Revan is no better than HK-47, another wasted nomination! --- :> |
I
think the reasoning was that KOTOR almost beat Halo in the games
contest, and the theory was that it got beefed up due to the Star Wars
brand name. That's why we expected Revan to win. I originally picked Terra to win this match, but then I thought "Darth Revan has the name value, and he has the higher seed...yeah, let's do this." XD |
The
Star Wars name is what gave Revan so much support, but also what doomed
him. You know what they say about licensed games, after all... --- CB8 score: 48 Incorrect picks: Ocelot, Wesker, Fawful, Tidus (2 rounds), Phoenix (2 rounds), Simon, Kratos Aurion |
