Why it Happened: Mario/MM isn't all that crazy of a result stat-wise. As for Charizard...that's a bit more surprising. It suggests that Bowser is weaker than Kratos! Then again, the match was held on the day of the Pokemon game release, so Charizard is most likely inflated a bit. What will Happen: Mario/Charizard...I wonder if he'll be able to match Mega Man.

I can just see it. "Oh boy, thanks for getting me this Pokemon game mom! Can I use the computer to look up a guide?" "OMGWTFBBQ THERE IS CHARIZARD I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!" --- Maybe PICS NAO later, WTF do you think this is, Neopets or something! No ****ing maybe no ****ing later, PICS NAO or DAIIIIII!! -- LeighDaMan |

Midgar Division: Round 4 - Match 118 – (1) Cloud Strife vs. (7) Ryu Moltar’s Analysis Cloud Round 1 - 71.72% vs. Ridley Round 2 - 71.99% vs. Chris Round 3 - 69.93% vs. Falcon At least Falcon broke 30%! Ryu Round 1 - 68.97% vs. Balthier Round 2 - 50.35% vs. Dante Round 3 - 56.88% vs. Leon At least it wasn’t Dante beating Ryu again. Ryu’s gotten 40% on Samus, Snake, Sonic, Bowser and Mega Man in 1v1. Ryu also got 29% on Cloud in a four-way match. Where is he going to end up this time? Somewhere in the middle I’m guessing. This is a day match, which helps Ryu more I think. Ryu has been looking good in America, while Cloud looks worse. Plus, FF stuff is getting anti-voted left and right. If Falcon can break 30% on Cloud, Ryu should have no problem out-doing it. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if Ryu ends up looking way stronger than he should here. Cloud’s going to win, but this match has a deceptively large range. Ryu could go and break 40%, or Cloud could just crush him. I’ll go with something in the middle. Moltar’s Bracket: Cloud > Dante Moltar’s Prediction: Cloud: 64% - Ryu: 36% Lopen’s Analysis Ryu looks good here probably. Then again I thought the same of Captain Falcon. Anyway Ryu's main goal here is to keep his over 40% streak going. Can he do it? Well he avoids the terrible morning vote and Cloud's performances this contest have been... strange, so I'm gonna take a big gamble and go with yes. C'mon Ryu! Lopen's prediction: Cloud with 59.79% Transience’s Analysis After a string of interesting matches, we get Cloud vs. Ryu. These two faced off in fourways in 2007 -- Ryu got 29% on Cloud in a match where Auron was in the poll and then 21% with Mega Man and Samus. Ryu will do much better this time around, but Cloud's still going to win this pretty big. I imagine that a decent opponent will make Cloud look a good amount better as opposed to watching him try to blow out fodder line guys like Falcon or Ridley. This is Cloud's first day match of the year, so we can see what kind of day vote we're looking at for him. if Cloud bombs here, get ready for some Samus hype! transience's prediction: Cloud with 61.07% Ngamer’s Analysis Quickie w/ Ng: Samus looking great once again- which unfortunately means Cloud's about to hit the steroids to stay ahead of her for the third straight round. After the way he tore up Falcon past the first couple hours, just holding him around the 65 range should be a moral victory for Ryu. Ngamer Says: Cloud > Ryu, 65.56% |
Kleenex’s Analysis A lot of people are down on Cloud this contest. That awful early vote is still in full force - and that's something that I can't really deny. The thing is, I think his ending percentages (save for perhaps the Ridley match) are just about on target for where he should be. And while this isn't necessarily the strength needed to beat Link, gotta dismiss any of this Samus > Cloud nonsense. Oh hey, there's also a Ryu in the poll. Ryu's done well this contest. And he always bows out respectably. He doesn't have to deal with Cloud's ridiculous dead-hours vote, and he's got the CALIFORNIA ASV to help things out even more. Ryu'll end safely over 40% here. Unless FFXIII BOOST has just been delayed a week the WATCH OUT. Bracket: Cloud Favorites: Cloud Prediction: Cloud with 57.57% Red Sox’s Analysis Ryu's had a very nice contest run, but it ends here. No more weak opponents to underperform against for Cloud. It's about time to seize advantage of Link looking bad and try to get us excited for the final, Cloud. Let's see.....Ryu's worth about 42% on Crono, and Crono's probably worth around 38% on Cloud. That gives Ryu 32%, and the day match favors Cloud while the 12-hour format (as opposed to a 24-hour match) favors Ryu. 68% seems awfully like an awfully steep target for Cloud, but it's doable. Prediction: Cloud with 67.70% Upset Potential: 0% Upper Bound: Cloud with 71% Lower Bound: Cloud with 64% Crew Consensus: Cloud crushes the fighting spirit of Ryu |
Uh......FFXIII boosted Cloud = Crono, Kleenex? Well I'll take that! --- 2010 Extrapolated Standings: Crono gets 46.85% on Sephiroth. All you need now is KH3 or SSB4, Crono. Then your quest shall be fulfilled! |
Yessss, California ASV to keep Ryu's 40% streak alive! --- Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created. |
TheKoolAidShoto's Analysis Cloud, our resident Zack Fair wannabe turned sulky emo, hasn't been the most impressive character this year. After Ridley got 30%+ on him, stats regulars have been calling for his pretty little head, and some even think an upset by the impressive Samus could happen(sounds like MM > Mario talk to me, but whatever). Today will be his toughest challenge yet, and in his first day match as well. Ryu, awesome martial artist and the face of fighting games he is, has finally got back into the sweet 16. Oh happy day! Despite most counting him out against Dante, he pulled out a close win and Shinshoryuken'd his way into the Divsional finals. Ryu has a streak of never going below 40% against a NN in 1v1, and with the help of the California ASV, he's going keep it going. HADOUKEN! Cloud - 59.99% Ryu - 40.01% --- OH YEAH! |

It also means Leon Kennedy's going to be virtually tied with Captain Falcon in the stats. Aw yeah --- Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created. |
Hey Tran shut up more Dante would break 40% here easy Ryu's clearly being SFFed. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
From: transients | #464 Hey tran shut up --- Currently NOT on the CBVIII Leaderboard v_v Dante > Cloud: ITS NOT HAPPENING |
I'm blaming that match picture. or I would if Dante hadn't done the same thing against Yoshi in 2006 --- xyzzy |
Dante freaks Ryu superior --- xyzzy |

From: Lopen | #467 Same Gender Factor? --- The Gamer In Me My Signature's broken, just like your front door. |
Japan factor Ryu is from Japan whereas Cloud's hair looks like Goku who is the symbol of Japan. The vote is split. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
I said unless FFXIII BOOST, jeeze. Anyway. Cloud is a beast look out Link etc etc. --- If you're seeing this sig, I'm not on my computer! |

Gear Division: Round 4 - Match 119 – (1) Solid Snake vs. (2) Squall Leonhart Moltar’s Analysis Snake Round 1 - 72.35% vs. Proto Man Round 2 - 67.03% vs. Fox Round 3 - 55.20% vs. Pikachu Gross Squall Round 1 - 68.01% vs. Akuma Round 2 - 64.52% vs. Terra Round 3 - 51.81% vs. Auron The only 2 seed to survive. We’ve seen this match twice before. First time, Snake won with 65%. Second time, Snake won with 57% 4 years later. 4 more years later, they face again, and Squall will win with 51%! Okay that’s not happening. Squall had the sprite advantage in 2006, and this year it’s going to be a bit more balanced. It’s hard to say if Squall will beat his 2006 number. Snake was a beast in 2006, but this year he’s looking normal. Squall got that number against Sprite Snake though…hmmm. Moltar’s Bracket: Snake > Squall Moltar’s Prediction: Snake: 59% - Squall: 41% Lopen’s Analysis Another match we've already seen, and one that has little reason to change. I think there are some murmurings of a Squall > Snake but I'm hopin they're just Leonhart bein delusional or something. FFXIII boost fear maybe "keep an eye out for it" Lopen's prediction: Solid Snake with 58.56% Transience’s Analysis Metal Gear Solid has had a bad contest -- at least compared to last year's ridiculosity -- and I would consider Sephiroth to be a very clear favourite over Solid Snake. This is probably the weakest I've seen Snake since he became a Nintendo icon. I'm not too high on him. If I could pick Snake vs. Samus right now, I'd undeniably side with Samus. That said, I can't pick Squall over him. He didn't beat Auron nearly decisively enough, and I'm not overly impressed by Auron's performances. Squall struggled against Terra, too. Akuma did better than expected when you consider how Ken did. Squall hasn't exactly had a knockout tournament. Fortunately, Snake won't expose him too badly because he's also not doing all that great. We've seen this match before and I expect it'll go about the same as it did in 2006. If Squall breaks 45%, I don't have much hope at all for Snake against Sephiroth. If Snake breaks 60, I'll put Snake back on even ground with Seph. Snake's opponents have been somewhat of an unknown quantity -- Proto Man in a good Mega Man year, sprite Snake vs. sprite Pikachu -- so maybe the MGS series is just sucking and not him. who knows. Solid Snake is kind of bigger than the MGS series anyway. transience's prediction: Solid Snake with 57.67% Ngamer’s Analysis Quickie w/ Ng: Squall impressed me last round, which makes it one more round than Snake has impressed, but even so... I like Snake to capitalize on a little bit of the same anti-FF vote that will help him vs Seph in order to improve on his '06 showing. Though not by MUCH. Ngamer Says: Snake > Squall, 58.13% |
Kleenex’s Analysis HOW ABOUT THAT CLOUD YESTERDAY NOT TOO BAD HUH. Anyway, aside from Bowser/Charizard, this is the only Round 4 match that has even the smallest hint of upset possibility. Snake hasn't looked all that beastly this year and Squall's been knocking on the door of the Noble Nine for a couple years now. Unfortunately, this probably isn't getting close to happening. Squall should put up a pretty good performance, and he might even come close to winning those dead hours in the middle of the night, but Snake's still out of his league. But we can hope, can't we? Bracket: Snake Favorites: Squall Prediction: Snake with 54.87% Red Sox’s Analysis Here's a rematch from 2002 and 2006. Snake's out to prove he stands a chance against Sephiroth, and so he'll need to score a very nice percentage on Squall to do that. In my opinion, 58% keeps him alive, 60% gives him a decent chance, and beating Sephiroth's percentage on Vincent (a bit over 62%) makes him the favorite. I think Snake has regressed to about his 2006 levels, while Squall is probably a bit below his 2006 strength. So, Snake can probably beat his 2006 percentage on Squall, keeping his chances against Seph alive but not good. Prediction: Solid Snake with 59.00% Upset Potential: 0% Upper Bound: Snake with 62% Lower Bound: Snake with 55% Guest’s Analysis - Biolizard I really don’t know what to make of this match, but as a major supporter of Snake > Seph, I need to pray for a godstomping in Snake’s favor. Although, I can’t see this happening. Squall is simply too powerful for Snake to effectively fodderize, and the apparent non-FFVII FF boost isn’t going to help matters. I expect some disappointment from Snake here, honestly. Bracket: Snake Favorite: Snake Predix: Snake with 56% Crew Consensus: Snake CQC’s Squall outta here |
Squall got that number against Sprite Snake though…hmmm. What? No, he didn't. --- Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created. |

Gear Division: Round 4 - Match 120 – (1) Sephiroth vs. (10) Tifa Moltar’s Analysis Sephiroth Round 1 - 71.80% vs. Marth Round 2 - 62.66% vs. Vincent Round 3 - 52.88% vs. Missingno The last joke falls Tifa Round 1 - 78.70% vs. Yuri Round 2 - 61.96% vs. Gordon Round 3 - 60.45% vs. Big Daddy Daddy stronger than Gordon, eh? Hey another FF7 character for Seph to beat. In 2008, Tifa did really well against Seph in Round 1, putting up 38% on him. Next round, she did worse, only putting up 33%. That was when stronger competition was added, so I’d expect her to do better than that here. After seeing Vincent get 37%, I don’t think Tifa will do that much worse. Day match and kiddies probably aren’t kind to her though. Seph sux at SFF all aboard the Snake train. Moltar’s Bracket: Sephiroth > Tifa Moltar’s Prediction: Sephiroth: 65% - Tifa: 35% Lopen’s Analysis A glitch in the system causes Sephiroth to go back to piercing women with his long... stiff... sword, after two bishounen rounds to start the contest. Man what a waste of division this last one was-- but hey Missingno. tried, you gotta give it to him. On the plus side only 7 more matches left, and SNAKE'S MASTER PLAN COMES TO FRUITION I CAN HARDLY WAIT. Lopen's prediction: Sephiroth with 58.84% Transience’s Analysis Sephiroth vs. Tifa? That group photo picture is probably the best this crappy match is going to get. I guess we can gauge Tifa and Vincent through their Seph performances, but even then it's not exactly fair. Vincent has the same appeal that Seph does - dark, brooding, goth, etc etc. Tifa should do better just by the fact that she's got a different angle to play in the FF7 fanbase. If Tifa loses this match worse than Vincent did, I'm going to say that the Vincent vs. Tifa debate is over. Seph should SFF Vincent a lot harder than he would Tifa. transience's prediction: Sephiroth with 61.86% Kleenex’s Analysis Sephiroth should do a little better here than he did on Vincent. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Bracket: Sephiroth Favorites: Sephiroth Prediction: Sephiroth with 64.22% Red Sox’s Analysis Sephiroth has made it past Missingno and is rewarded with another easy SFF match. What a horrible division this Jenova Division is- even one of the most shocking runs of all time could not save it. Anyway, Sephiroth wins easily, but let's see how well Tifa does compared to Vincent. My guess is a fair bit worse, due to Tifa being a night character and this being a day match. Prediction: Sephiroth with 64.00% Upset Potential: 0% Upper Bound: Sephiroth with 70% Lower Bound: Sephiroth with 61% Crew Consensus: Seph takes out Tifa |

though, just kidding around, I don't want to be like that for such a

FantasyFreak999's Backup Writeup Well, since Sephiroth failed to SFF Vincent into the ground, he should have similar results with Tifa. Sephiroth - 65.42% --- "Run, run, or you'll be well done!" ~Kefka, Final Fantasy 6~ |
Quickie w/ Ng: We all know that Vincent > Tifa, but maybe not today.
