Northwest Division: Round 1 - Match 30 – (4) Siegfried/Nightmare vs. (5) Ramza/Delita Moltar’s Analysis Siegfried/Nightmare Nightmare the best soul calibur character Ramza/Delita Ramza? Didn’t that guy lose to Hogger? what a joke So we’ve gone through 29 matches without an upset. Is this going to be the lucky match? I actually had Ramza/Delita here until lockdown by accident. Am I going to end up regretting fixing it? Let’s get this straight, Ramza is weak. He lost to Hogger and got beaten easily by Riku in KH’s worst post-KH2 year. Still, he’s Final Fantasy, and that means this match is automatically debatable since Nightfried is non-Nintendo/Square and not that strong. Also Delita who? We’ve seen both Sieg and Nightmare in fourways, and neither did too badly. Sieg even got a number close to what Ramza got on Riku, only Riku was stronger back in 2008 and that was a 24 hour match. Nightmare also faced Riku back in 2007, and he managed to break 40%. So basically, while the Soul Calibur guys look stronger, this match is still in question because Ramza = FF and fourways stats are unreliable. I’m not sure what to expect here percentage-wise, but I do think Siegmare wins this match. Nightmare is stronger than Ramza, Sieg might be stronger or around the same level, fighting game rivalries have done well while new Square isn’t looking too hot. This could be close or it could be a good beating. I’ll go somewhere in the middle. Moltar’s Bracket: Siegfried/Nightmare Moltar’s Prediction: Siegfried/Nightmare - 55% Lopen’s Analysis I'm not sure why Nightmare/Siegfried is the favorite in this one, and by such a margin. The idea is that Nightmare's looked “better” than Ramza has in past years, but what has he really been tested against? He's beaten down junk like Raz, Crash, Rayman, and Vyse, and folded badly to anything better than that. I just don't think that makes him look very impressive. Through extrapolation through Riku I guess the idea is that he's supposed to do better than Ramza did in 2010? Meh. I'm not convinced. Another factor in this (as someone who's played the whole series) is that I don't think that the Nightmare/Siegfried relationship is really a big focus in Soul Calibur-- it's there but Ryu/Ken or Sub-Zero/Scorpion it is not. Ramza/Delita wins out there in terms of relevance. So uh, yeah, Nightmare is overrated and Ramza/Delita win RIVALRY FACTOR and take the match (don't give me that “foil” crap Leon voters won't know the difference-- 40% of people voted for Crono vs LAVOS for crissakes) Lopen's prediction: Ramza vs Delita with 55.37% Leon’s Analysis This match has bothered me from day 1. Looking at the stats, Nightmare has looked the best out of any character in this match. Ramza lost to Hogger and nearly lost to Laharl in 2008, and Delita will be even worse. Siegfried’s not that great, but it’s not like Ramza would blow him out. My hesitance doesn’t really come from the fact that this is an FF rivalry because FF rivalries haven’t done that great up to this point. And while fighting game rivalries have done well up to this point (except for Dan/Sagat anyway, lawl), putting confidence in SoulCalibur bothers me. It’s a third tier fighting game going up against a third tier Final Fantasy game. That usually favors Final Fantasy. If we had some solid 1-on-1 data on Nightmare, I’d probably feel better, but he has two 4-way appearances where he’s looked kinda inconsistent from round to round. He SHOULD be the strongest character in this match, but who knows. |
Interesting
to note that Siegfried, Nightmare, and Ramza all have had a match
against Riku. Nightmare easily came out the best. Siegfried and Ramza
did relatively the same, but Ramza got to face Riku in a night match in
KH’s worst year since KH2 released. Nearly all the contest data we’ve
seen in the last few years points to Nightmare and Siegfried winning
this match, but if Ramza/Delita go 60/40 here, I wouldn’t even blink. I
just have a bad feeling about this one, but I’m stickin’ with what I
originally picked. Leonhart’s Prediction: Siegfried Schtauffen vs. Nightmare with 56.50% Kleenex’s Analysis For my money, this is the toughest match of round 1. We don't have very good reads on any of these guys and on the surface, they seem to be all about the same level as far as strength goes. My snap judgment was to side with Ramza, but the more time I've had to think about it, the more I'm feeling like Nightmare is the right choice. Siegfried did surprisingly well (at least I think so) in his lone match - the fact that he even got into a contest at all is sort of crazy - and I don't think Delita is going to be worth a whole lot. FFT in general just doesn't feel like it has the relevance it used to, whether it be because of its own aging, or the sour feelings the FFTA games left in fans. Soul Calibur has some hype behind it because 5 comes out in a couple months, and everything just feels right about a Nightmare win to me. Kleenex's Prediction: Siegfried vs. Nightmare with 55.12% Applekidjosh’s Analysis Ugh this match is like a battle to see who you feel less apathy toward. It is my understanding there are a couple Final Fantasy Tactics fans out there for some reason (the same kind of masochistic people that enjoy hitting themselves in the junk, I assume). Meanwhile who the heck actually cares about Soul Calibur characters? Or the story at all? This is no Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter, I mean maybe these guys are more recognizable than Tekken or Virtua Fighter amongst the general populace but they're nothing special. I mean if Soul Calibur is going to send a representative they should've sent LINK! Now there's a top tier fighting game character! Link vs Nightmare, man I wonder how strong that would be? Anyway the match pic looks gross (KP's was beautiful darn you bacon) the characters are gross this is just 12 hours of who cares. And the winner gets fed to Squall next round. I'm going with Square over third tier fighting games. AKJ predix Ramza vs Delita with 53.00% Guest’s Analysis - Luis This match has been getting some talk of late. Siegfried/Nightmare were the pre-bracket favourites, and aren't leaps and bounds ahead of Ramza in strength, and some people feel the FFT guys have a pic advantage, but I think that's really just borne of desperation for there to be an upset in round 1. Spoilers: there won't be. Old Square has seen a resurgence of late, but this has never seemed to include Ramza, whilst the SC guys, particularly Nightmare, have always been decent, and will only get stronger with SC5 around the corner. They don't have the raw strength, or big name rivalry like the Ryu/Ken's or Subby/Scorp's of the world to blow someone who isn't awful fodder away, but I don't think we'll be far off a 60/40 match here all the same. Siegfried vs Nightmare with 57.99% Crew Consensus: Lopen and AKJ have the FFT characters, but everyone else is backing Soul Calibur. |

(3) Dante/Vergil vs. (6) Sol Badguy/Ky Kiske Another blowout. This should at least be on the same scale as Chris/Wesker vs. Dan/Sagat and Terra/Kefka vs. Vyse/Galcian, and probably even bigger given that Dante/Vergil should be stronger than both those pairings while Sol/Ky should be just about the weakest entry in the bracket. Sol actually made a vote-in before, where he got less than 5% of the vote, and was easily doubled by Tails, Prince of Persia and Simon Belmont. Dante/Vergil could go well into the 80s here and it wouldn't influnce anyone's opinion of their chances against Sora/Riku. Moving on. Dante vs. Vergil with 80.5% of the vote. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |

Dante vs Sol Dante's one of those Ryu Hayabusa kind of characters; good recognition, cool character design (until this new games arrives at least), sweet match pics, no reason to be anti-voted (though again, that might change soon), uniquely designed to blow out fodder. And he's done a great job of it in his career, hanging 70 on Q*Bert/Terra/Axel and pushing toward 80 on Ryo and Ratchet (heh). Of course this "liked but not loved" dynamic is also why he folds the instant someone with a real fan base shows up (like Ryu or Yoshi). Now, which of the two camps do Sol and Ky fall into? Please, you already know the answer! This was going to be ugly even before taking into consideration how DMC does well outside the US, Vergil's not totally pathetic himself, this should earn some decent "real rivalry" points, and Sol/Ky are dominated in this match pic. Now it'll be brutal. Dante - 77.76% --- thengamer.com/guru thengamer.com/xstats board8.wikia.com You should search for The Show, the cool podcast featuring Guru Champ Black Turtle! |
Northwest Division: Round 1 - Match 31 – (3) Dante/Vergil vs. (6) Sol Badguy/Ky Kiske Moltar’s Analysis Dante/Vergil swordz Sol/Ky more swordz Well this is a match. You’ve got Dante, a strong character that loves scoring big blowouts in R1 and Vergil, who is...high fodder I’d guess, against two characters from a series that hasn’t gotten 6000 votes in a GameFAQs poll yet. I wonder who wins that. So this is going to be a huge blowout, and as if Dante/Vergil needed any more insurance, they’ve also got UMVC3 which just came out. I like Guilty Gear, but the site doesn’t care for it, and I doubt they would care about its characters too. I mean, BlazBlue is similar to GG, and we saw Ragna and Jin get 3% in their vote-in poll. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the biggest blowout of the contest. Moltar’s Bracket: Dante/Vergil Moltar’s Prediction: Dante/Vergil - 82% Lopen’s Analysis Oh my god this match is so badass look 4 swords 4 badasses the elements of lightning fire gun DEVIL-- okay 3 badasses and Ky but you know Ky is cool too. … man, why do Sol and Ky have to appear in the one place in the bracket where I actually prefer the other rivalry :(. Whatever, they have my vote anyway. Anyway, speaking as the reason Sol/Ky managed to get into the contest (oh yeah trading 10 nominations) I can tell you that they have a very strong possibility of being the weakest entrants on the field. Anything below 80% for Dante/Vergil I would probably consider them the underdog next round. This site just doesn't care about Guilty Gear. We've seen Sol Badguy in a vote in (http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3694) and he got 5%, only beating Maxwell from scribblenauts and the main of ToS 2. But I'm just happy to see them here ^_^. Go my Dante vs Vergil first step towards taking the division tonight. Lopen's prediction: Dante vs Vergil with 83.19% Leon’s Analysis I feel like we just saw a match like this one fairly recently. Let me think for a second…Oh yeah: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4524 Good chance this one gets that ugly, too, because Guilty Gear is probably really, really weak, and Dante seems to be really good at blowing out bad fodder. Leonhart’s Prediction: Dante vs. Vergil with 80.05% |
Kleenex’s Analysis Sol Badguy and Ky Kiske? Really? This is who got into the contest? And without needing to win a vote-in no less. Forget any match results, this is the biggest upset of the contest. Dante vs. Vergil might be the best rivalry in the bracket, and they should win pretty easily here. I'm getting a bit of a nagging feeling that they might underperform for some reason, but I don't even know what I'd use to measure that because Sol Badguy vs. Ky Kiske. Kleenex's Prediction: Dante vs. Vergil with 72.45% Applekidjosh’s Analysis I take it back, Soul Calibur must be a 2nd tier fighting game because nobody plays Guilty Gear. It's such a nerd game even in the gaming room at Anime Central people would rather play Smash, SF4, or MvC. And for those of us who haven't played and are going on name + pic factor? lmao holy crap is this guy's name seriously "badguy"? Unless we're talking about Zettai Hero Project: Unlosing Ranger vs Darkdeath Evilman, which is obviously intended to be cheesy, a name like "badguy" is just ludicrous. Meanwhile apparently they made some video games off of that Devil May Cry movie that's coming out soon, huzzah! Not my type of game but from what I understand it's a lot of fun, is very flashy, and if you play the game you will love Dante and his relationship with Vergil. Sounds PERFECT for this contest! On top of everything else, Dante gets the Marvel vs Capcom boost that obviously helped Amatarocksu and Chris Redfield. All signs point to a Dante overperformance that will get the Dante > Sora train rolling for next round (and that train is destined to crash and burn gloriously, hahahaha!) AKJ predix Dante vs Vergil with 72.00% Dante’s Analysis So, fun fact: I’m probably not even in the top half of Dante fans on this crew, so if you came in here expecting me to have a deep bias for this match, you’ll be sorely disappointed! Anyway, I have no idea who Sol and Ky are. I think they’re from guilty gear? Man, fighting games have so many entrants in this contest – probably since fighting games have nothing but rivalries going for them. Anyway Dante and Vergil have been together ever since the 1200’s. Although back then Vergil was guiding Dante around, I dunno what happened to make them hate each other 2005, but they had so many fights that people ate it up. Anyway point is Dante wins Winner - Dante/Vergil – 74.50% Guest’s Analysis - numbers As much as I like Sol and Ky, they've got no shot here. Dante/Vergil's a great rivalry, and while so is Sol/Ky, it's far less known, so I expect Dante/Vergil to kinda lay the beatdown here. Sol's jobbed in his only poll appearance, and Ky hasn't even made that. Dante's of course extremely powerful in these contests and Vergil just made it in to UMVC3, which I'm sure would probably put him above Sol/Ky by himself! It's actually kind of weird that they even made the bracket past the vote-ins; did anyone on B8 try and rally for them that I didn't notice? I went into this write-up having a gut feeling that it wouldn't be a really big blowout, but the more I think about it the worse I feel. I actually kind of think that the DMC crew has a decent shot at this division, so maybe we'll see what they're made of tonight. Maybe Dante will go easy, since Sol is a pretty hardcore guy. He'd totally approve of the Guilty Gear universe! HEAVEN OR HELL LET'S ROCK. Dante/Vergil with 79.65% Crew Consensus: Dante and Vergil get the party started big. |

I take a break from playing Zelda to bring this prediction. (1) Sora/Riku vs. (8) William B.J. Blazkowicz vs. Adolf Hitler Time for some end of round one craziness? I doubt it. Sora and Riku both laid eggs last contest - losing debated matches against Bowser and Falcon comfortably. They should still be a strong, if not elite, entrant regardless. Vulnerable to a very potent joke option - see Missingno - but not to weaker ones. The problem for BJ/Hitler here is that there's going to be a large section of voters out there who will anti-vote Hitler on sight, and I think that will deny them the chance of getting within striking distance against an entrant with a good base strength, especially in a day match. Still, they got 39% on the Bosses in the vote-in, and while they might slightly overperform in that format, I doubt they'd move hugely away from that value. I'd expect the Bosses to beat Sora/Riku, if not as badly as they did Tidus/Jecht, so something in the high 50s or low 60s seems reasonable. Sora vs. Riku with 58.5% of the vote. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |

Sora vs Hitler "You don't bet against Kingdom Hearts in a Day Match." I feel like I've said that 100 times in the past six years, and it's still true, despite how much my Battle Bracket would love for it to fail in this one. A lesser-known but equally useful truth is "always bet against a Kingdom Hearts blowout"; it's a strong series but has always had its fair share of anti-voters, and that trend has only strengthened as these characters have weakened in recent years. In other words, don't be fooled into thinking this will be an 80% beatdown! The Sora anti-voters will be joined in force by people who think this Hitler duo is funny (apparently more than you'd imagine, given their strong showing in the vote in), anyone on the fence who gets won over by that amazing match pic (one of my favorites of the whole round!), and old school PC gamers (both of us!), plus you can be sure that if the result is at all in doubt this will turn into the biggest rally since good ol' Mizno. ...shame that I can't see it ever being in doubt. Still, all the cards are on the table for an underperformance of massive proportions, and I'd be a fool to look the other way.

Northwest Division: Round 1 - Match 32 – (2) Sora/Riku vs. (7) B.J. Blazkowicz/Adolf Moltar’s Analysis Sora/Riku Sora and Riku have fought off thousands of Darkness... B.J/Adolf ...but now they face their Darkest challenge yet, Hitler. um I’m not even sure where to start or how to approach this match. Both Sora and Riku looked bad in 2010, but by putting these two together as rivals, they should do fine in this contest. Their opponents? A joke nomination that performed well in the vote-ins because it was a joke option. They didn’t win the poll, but they did beat Katherine/Catherine!...... KH is pretty easy to rally against, but I don’t think Sora and Riku are losing here. Sora/Riku is too much of a challenge too soon, and BJ/Hitler didn’t blow everyone away like Missingno did in its vote-in poll before going on to upset Crono. I wouldn’t be surprised if Sora/Riku underperform, as KH can’t really score blowouts, but I don’t think it will be that close. Too much apathy to rally all day for a joke, too many kiddies to blindly vote for KH in a day match, Sora/Riku will be fine. Moltar’s Bracket: Sora/Riku Moltar’s Prediction: Sora/Riku - 65% Lopen’s Analysis If there were ever one contest that 4Chan could derail, it's this one. Our vote totals have been ass and well, that's enough, really. I don't think they manage it in a 12 hour day match against Kingdom Hearts, though. Hell, they might not even care enough to try, cause this contest idea is kinda dumb. Then again it beats best video game sidekick so what do I know. This match is probably like 70-30 normally, which means that Sora vs Riku would win by 16000 votes given a 40k vote match, but I think 4chan can swing quite a bit here. Enough to make it a 6000 vote gap in a 50k vote match, maybe? Won't quite be enough, but given a night match I might take the upset. Hitler's picture being kinda hilarious might make a difference too, I suppose, so I won't entirely rule this upset out. I gotta think most people don't think voting for Hitler is very funny though! Lopen's prediction: Sora vs Riku with 55.45% Leon’s Analysis I think Sora/Riku are pretty lucky this is a day match because it makes the upset attempt less likely. I just can’t imagine 50% of the voters on this site (or most sites) siding with Adolf Hitler, jokes, 4chan rallies, or whatever. Something just feels wrong about it. Sora/Riku’s day vote should seal the deal here, and that’s all I feel like saying about this one. Leonhart’s Prediction: Sora vs. Riku with 61.25% Kleenex’s Analysis This is dumb. Kleenex's Prediction: Sora vs. Riku with 63.89% |
Applekidjosh’s Analysis Let's finish off round 1, shall we? I'd love to start taking a longer break between writeups! So what could I possibly say about Sora and Kingdom Hearts that hasn't been said to death? Oh I know, which of Riku's 8 forms are we voting for here?? Is this the Sora that's Sora, or the Heartless of the Nobody in the whozawatsit darknessssss. Ugh damn I tried not to fall into that and there it goes. Meanwhile this might just be my favorite joke entrant since CATS. I mean did you see that effing match picture? Hilarious! For those of us who are old enough to have actually played Wolf3D, it brings back glorious memories of shooting him a few times then running to that room on the side that had the health packs then running back out for a second, back and forth. Or just mashing MLI repeatedly! But the dude is obviously Hitler and he's obviously got some big guns. Hilarious. I mean it's not enough to make Sora lose here, but God would it be hilarious if it happened. Anyway hopefully joke votes will make for a huge Sora underperformance en route to everyone backing the previously mentioned Dante train, then when Sora comes back out of nowhere and cru-man I'm getting ahead of myself, save it for next round! AKJ predix Sora vs Riku with 58.00% Dante’s Analysis Yawn. I never bought into the hitler bandwagon, this isn’t gamespot. Have fun advancing Sora and Riku Winner - Sora/Riku – 76.63% Guest’s Analysis - Hitler/B.J. are the best possible opponents for Sora and Riku. It’s like... The most evil character to ever exist against the most tame rivalry in the whole contest. Is Sora/Riku even a rivalry anyway? I thought they were BAST FRIENDZ 4 EVER Anyway, last matches of Round 1 have often been weird (Sub-Zero beating Master Chief, Peach putting up a very impressive performance on Gordon Freeman, Pac-Man beating Ocelot), so I wouldn’t even be surprised to see frickin’ Hitler somehow winning this match. Kingdom Hearts isn’t what it once was on this site and both Sora and Riku have performed below expectations in their last contest, not even putting up a fight against Bowser and Captain Falcon, respectively. Unfortunately (or fortunately? It feels wrong to root for Hitler so I won’t) Fellatio/Hitler didn’t even do that good in their vote-in poll; despite leading at some point, they ended up not that much higher than the Catherines. It’s a day match too, and day voters are huge fans of everlasting love, friendship and all the good values showcased in KH. No DARKNESS for the day voters. At least, Oral sex/Hitler will have gotten the best possible match pic they could get, AKA Mecha-Hitler-Machine-Guns etc. etc. etc. So this could make them look not so horrible. I’m not sure if Hitler is supposed to get anti-voted because... Well he did some pretty f***ing screwed-up stuff in real life. Are people really gonna vote for the rivalry with B.J.? Do people who vote for Hitler in this match automatically go to hell? Would BJ/Hitler have a chance to win if there existed as many yaoi pictures of them as there are yaoi pictures of Sora/Riku (approximately 160 million)? I do know that Sora/Riku would get 95% of the votes if this was their match pic: http://i43.tinypic.com/263tqqc.jpg I’d expect Sora/Riku to win with something like 64% here, but when you add the « last match of round 1 is often waaaaaacky » factor it gives something like: GrapefruitKing’s surprisingly accurate prediction: Sora vs. Riku with 60.78% of love Crew Consensus: Sora and Riku will win. We ain’t afraid of no joke. |

I know it's impossible to glean any information off this match, but I'm feeling kinda good about Dante next round. --- I wish I could wear skirts and dresses :( -GMUN |
Well you can't really tell because of joke votes.Still I believe if Sora passes there is a 66% change he will beat Dante. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |

Sora can still win next round, but Dante would not be doing this badly here. Sora/Riku is proving today that they're pretty substantial anti-vote magnets, and that could come back to bite them in the butt. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
This is Dante's M.O. at this point Put up a huge round 1 blowout on bottom tier fodder that makes us think he could finally win the big match Choke in round 2 against a character that doesn't actually suck --- http://img.imgcake.com/nio/26leonpngat.png http://img.imgcake.com/nio/daigohadoupnguj.png |
