Though Roll is definitely, no way around it, undoubtedly, without
question, forever and always weak-ass fodder that we can't use to
appropriately judge Yuna...she's still looking mighty fine. It's not as
if she wasn't the favorite to win the division anyway, but hey, this
doesn't hurt her chances any. Also, as it's already been said, this
makes Ganon look better as well. I'm going to try to tally up points in Ganon's favor and compare the points in Vincent's favor...and see how things look. Feel free to add to the list: Ganon: ~He has lots of reason to be adjusted much higher last year. ~Vincent could be a little over-rated. ~DS ownership has jumped about 20% since last year. ~The hype for the Wii and/or LoZ:TP is big and close. ~LoZ upset the board against FF in the Series Contest this summer. ~Ganon has both the LoZ and SSB fanbase to draw from, and SSB impressed this summer. ~He has the higher seed. ~He'll likely have the bracket support. ~Zelda broke 100,000 votes against Carmen in the only match we've seen feature a Nintendo character not in a SFF match -- Peach couldn't do that to Daisy though, for what it's worth. ~Samus/Nidoran has only been outdone in vote-totals by Tifa/Ivy and Zelda/Carmen. Tifa/Ivy outdid Zelda/Carmen though, sou you could take that as a small point for Vincent, but with the next three being (in order) Samus/Nidoran, Aeris/Marle, and Peach/Daisy, as well as Tifa/Aeris being in KH2 while Vincent wasn't, I'll take it as a small point for Ganon here. Vincent: ~In the unadjusted stats, Vincent has a huge lead on Ganon (Ganon gets 39.39% according to them). ~Aeris/Marle could have one argue Vincent didn't rSFF Crono, thus was legitimately that strong last year. ~He impressed with very minor bracket support last year. ~FF:AC showed him be very bad-ass, and lots of the site has seen it. ~DoC:FF7 has Vincent... ~~~...his first role since 1999 (yes, I counted Ehrgeiz). ~~~...goes outside his original genre. ~~~...was big on advertisements. ~~~...in a rather new game. ~FF7 in the Top 100 List says that it's still the top game around GameFAQs. ~Behind Cloud and Sephiroth, Vincent's consistantly the next in line in FF7-favorites. ~The KH2 wave brought a more Square-oriented influx here, and KH2 is probably still the biggest game released yet this year. ~HM supports Ganon with his bracket and heart. =P Did I miss any? Am I wrong on anything? --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

Celes/Boss looked good for Ganon and bad for Vincent. Yuna/Roll could
be seen as a match in Vincent's favor. Ganon's boosted every year since
he appeared (just like Crono lol). --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

Eh, I would sooner see Yuna/Roll being something in favor of Ganon. If
Yuna was underrated last year, it would be because of Samus/Mario,
Samus/Ganon or both. --- "Master using it and you can have this." http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/160/masterjg3.jpg |

What kind of logic is that? Joanna has absolutely nothing in common
with Kirby except that they both made an appearance on the N64 at one
time, and the comparison between Cortana and Navi is weak at best. I figured the gap between Master Chief and Joanna would be around the same as the gap between Link and someone like Kirby. Although now that I think about it... TuRtLe ~~~ I used my brain and statistics to make my bracket. Karma Hunter used MGS fanboyism. KH won. Commit it to memory. |

I just set the line too high! Let's put the standard at 14% or so! I don't think Yuna's stronger than she looks, and I don't think Roll has any trouble destroying Yuri.

Honestly, I feel that Vincent overperformed by a decent chunk last year. Mainly because FF7 generally SFF's other Square games. If Vincent really is at Squall's level, he should have beaten him by more than a few hundred. In actual fact, he's probably below Squall's level. At somebody like Knuckles level. Although at the same time. Knuckles > Magus > Ganondorf. >_< And the best character that Ganon has ever beaten is Tidus, and that was narrow at best too. I think the winner is going to choke aganist Sonic. --- Smurf The Cream of Sonic Fanboyism |

Psh, would you guys stop bringing up the Ganon/Seph match? Jeez. But hey, I could see Sonic winning against Ganon/Vincent 55-45... and that would be a "choke" in my books. --- Squall: "Hi, like Cloud from the last game, I am full of angst and am named after weather." - Slow Beef |

Look at it this way, Vincent almost directly scored 54% on Knuckles. No, there is no way in hell that Knuckles is anywhere near Sonic. So Vincent would not be able to mount any sort of challenge on Sonic. 45% at best. Which means that it's up to Ganon to better 55% on Vincent. Which he's not capable of doing. -_- So, I think it's almost likely that Ganon/Vincent will hover around 45% on Sonic. Assuming they haven't dropped for some reason. --- Smurf The Cream of Sonic Fanboyism |

But hey, I could see Sonic winning against Ganon/Vincent 55-45... and that would be a "choke" in my books. What? The stats predict Sonic to beat Vincent with 53.8%, and to beat -adjusted- Ganon with 56.31%. 55-45 is pretty much the expected range. Sonic is still the heavy favourite. Few people have the Ganon/Vincent upset. Look at it this way, Vincent almost directly scored 54% on Knuckles. No, there is no way in hell that Knuckles is anywhere near Sonic. So Vincent would not be able to mount any sort of challenge on Sonic. 45% at best. Which means that it's up to Ganon to better 55% on Vincent. Which he's not capable of doing. -_- So, I think it's almost likely that Ganon/Vincent will hover around 45% on Sonic. Assuming they haven't dropped for some reason. So you define choking as them simply losing? That's practically a given for most people.

55-45 is pretty much the expected range Even so, just "doing the expected" would be a disappointment for me. Maybe "choke" isn't quite the right word... but it'll work! --- Squall: "Hi, like Cloud from the last game, I am full of angst and am named after weather." - Slow Beef |

Let's see, in 2003 Tidus was behind an overrated Magus, while Auron was
SFFd into oblivion by Cloud. In 2004, Tidus was exposed and Auron was
behind another wall of SFF thanks to Sephiroth. In 2005, Tidus was
exposed yet again and could possibly be overrated thanks to
Bowser/Kirby and Solid ****. Auron, meanwhile, was behind potential
double SFF. --- Character Battle V Score - 12/12 points Current Prediction - Yuna vs. Roll |

What's the next best Ganon value we have? 2004? lol CATS. Villains? Hey, I guess Ganon is taking the male bracket after all! (lol HM) 2005 is almost definitely the closest to his "true" value, though I'd still think it underrates him significantly. --- Commit it to memory. |

Yeah, 2k3 is no longer feasible. You couldn't use 2002 stats in 2005, so it stands to reason you can't use 2003 stats now. Next year 2004 will be GONE. Woo. --- http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs9/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=22242738 Sign plz Hi-ho, Hi-ho, Z1m Zum, Z1m Zum...our guru champ. |

2004's stats were nigh-useless to begin with. 2003 serves as a
reference point for exactly how high Ganon has to have boosted since
his midcarder days. 50.5 on Tidus to 54 on Auron is no joke, though
it's damn hard to tell exactly where Auron stands in previous years.
Using either Tails or Scorpion presents problems. If Ganondorf does end up with a comparable percentage on Vincent as he did with Auron, I'm going to start feeling very scared for Master Chief. --- Commit it to memory. |

Auron being that good makes Scorpion look much better, which in turn
