Round 1- Division 4 Group B Characters Involved: Tails Summer 2002 Contest North Division - 11 Seed Northern Round 1 --- Lost to (6) Alucard, 28190 [45.68%] - 33516 [54.32%] Extrapolated Strength --- 28th Place [20.74%] Summer 2003 Contest East Division - 9 Seed Eastern Round 1 --- Lost to (8) Auron, 38685 [35.53%] - 70199 [64.47%] Extrapolated Strength --- 41st Place [19.76%] Summer 2004 Contest Chaos Division - 12 Seed Chaos Round 1 --- Defeated (5) Viewtiful Joe, 43775 [54.80%] - 36102 [45.20%] Chaos Quarterfinal --- Lost to (4) Dante, 33472 [42.60%] - 45109 [57.40%] Extrapolated Strength --- 33rd Place [21.71%] Sonic's loveable sidekick returns to the field, and is stuck in a match he can't possible get out of. Shame. He should get third place though. The Boss Summer 2006 Contest Limit Division - 4 Seed Limit Round 1 --- Defeated (5) Celes, 66787 [61.08%] - 42565 [38.92%] Limit Semifinal --- Lost to (1) Tifa, 30934 [25.45%] - 90595 [74.55%] Extrapolated Strength --- 39th Place [25.20%] I don't know much about The Boss (seeing as I got about a third of the way through MGS3 before putting it down out of sheer boredom), but I do know that last year, Tifa completely embarassed her. Still, Boss is incredibly weak here and should be a lock for last place. Though she may play a critical role here, but I'll get to that later. Vincent Valentine Summer 2005 Contest Devil Division - 5 Seed Devil Round 1 --- Defeated (4) Kerrigan, 79200 [79.00%] - 21058 [21.00%] Devil Semifinal --- Defeated (1) Dante, 53882 [54.00%] - 45893 [46.00%] Devil Final --- Defeated (2) Squall, 49446 [50.59%] - 48297 [49.41%] Elite Eight --- Lost to (2) Crono, 42546 [44.62%] - 52814 [55.38%] Extrapolated Strength --- 11th Place [32.60%] Summer 2006 Contest Blast Division - 5 Seed Blast Round 1 --- Defeated (4) Ganondorf, 67321 [52.59%] - 60685 [47.41%] Blast Semifinal --- Lost to (1) Sonic the Hedgehog, 59497 [47.91%] - 64699 [52.09%] Extrapolated Strength --- 8th Place [40.44%] Vincent Valentine, easily the star of 2005 and one of the strongest characters knocking at the door of the Noble Nine. He's a lock to advance here and the next round. |

Zelda Summer 2003 Contest West Division - 10 Seed Western Round 1 --- Defeated (7) Lara Croft, 70941 [62.29%] - 42940 [37.71%] Western Quarterfinal --- Lost to (2) Mega Man, 43239 [39.25%] - 65528 [60.75%] Extrapolated Strength --- 19th Place [30.29%] Summer 2005 Contest Gear Division - 5 Seed Gear Round 1 --- Defeated (4) Vivi, 62347 [59.56%] - 42324 [40.44%] Gear Semifinal --- Lost to (1) Solid Snake, 48941 [45.59%] - 58421 [54.41%] Extrapolated Strength --- 14th Place [30.89%] Summer 2006 Contest Triforce Division - 1 Seed Triforce Round 1 --- Defeated (8) Carmen Sandiego, 102509 [86.08%] - 16578 [13.92%] Triforce Semifinal --- Defeated (4) Terra, 92826 [79.45%] - 24005 [20.55%] Triforce Final --- Defeated (2) Aeris, 71597 [56.87%] - 54300 [43.13%] Elite Eight --- Defeated (1) Yuna, 77105 [57.02%] - 58112 [42.98%] Final Four --- Lost to (1) Samus, 58985 [44.73%] - 72890 [55.27%] Extrapolated Srength --- 4th Place [44.73%] Zelda is another one of those near-elites, and nothing showed that more than her performance last year. She may be a bit overrated in her match with Samus, but the point remains that she dominated her half of the female bracket completely. The other lock to advance, it's a shame she's wasted against Link in round 2, because she could have done some major damage with a different draw. Predictions: This is basically Ganon/Vincent 2.0, although a few things are different this time around. Like last year, it's a member of the Zelda triumvirate up against the moody FF7 optional character, and like last year, the Board is almost split 50/50 on this one. However, unlike last year, it is the Zelda character with the new release and boost potential. Twilight Princess has come out since we last saw Zelda, and general hype surrounding Brawl has increased tenfold. She also has a DS game coming up this holiday season. So even if you think Ganondorf > Zelda, Vincent still has a realistic shot at losing this. The one critical factor here, will be The Boss. Metal Gear/Final Fantasy SFF has been seen time and time again, except for once, it is the Final Fantasy character that will suffer. It won't be much, but it should be enough that our lovely princess should be able to pull off the win. Expect it to be close, and with a good vote swing. TuRtLe's Prediction: Zelda 36%, Vincent 34%, Tails 20%, The Boss 10% TuRtLe's Bracket: Zelda > Vincent TuRtLe's Vote: Zelda TuRtLe ~~~ 38/48 in the contest. Next pick: Link > Bidoof BlAcK TuRtLe.

Simple math lesson. Let's take this match as an example. Say, Zelda and Vincent 50/50. Throw in Tails. He's not exactly related to either character, but for the sake of argument let's say he's considered more Nintendo. He takes a slice of both character's votes, but should take more from Zelda, So that gives us Zelda 38%, Vincent 40% and Tails with 22% (once again for the sake of argument). Now we've seen the MGS/FF overlap many times before (most notably in this case, Tifa vs The Boss last year). Throw in The Boss, and due to the overlap, she should take more votes from Vincent than Zelda, and to a bigger degree than Tails did. That brings us to my pulled-out-of-the ass number.

No matter what happens tomorrow, I come out a winrar. Zelda wins, it
proves the same train of thought I had when I took Zero. Vincent wins
it proves that higher seeded characters have a tendency to overperform. TuRtLe ~~~ 38/48 in the contest. Next pick: Link > Bidoof BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Snake hurt Cloud more than Link, so shouldn't The Boss hurt Vincent
more than Zelda? Yeah, it won't be a huge number, but I believe that it
will be a close match, and even a small amount could be decisive. --- Rapid analysis, accurate judgment, and superb powers of concentration. That is all we need. |

Snake hurt Cloud more than Link, so shouldn't The Boss hurt Vincent more than Zelda? Snake hurt him by about a percent more, so the difference is negligible unless it turns out to be really close. --- "I'm no hero...Never was. I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work." |

What I meant, is that if Zelda loses this, with everything going in her
favour, that means last year was a complete fluke for her, which means
it was likely a complete fluke for Sora, Luigi and Yuna as well. TuRtLe ~~~ 38/48 in the contest. Next pick: Link > Bidoof BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |

Maybe it is just this format, but FF/MGS SFF became pretty suspect when

You don't have to believe my whacky seed theories or anything like
that, but I still see how people believe Mega Man dropped last year
after him and Sonic got nearly the same percentage on Snake. Everything
this year has pointed to Mega Man being the same as always last year
(Axel impressing, Ryu impressing). Really, the only "evidence" for a
Mega Man drop is Sora being near-elite, and that can be explained by
both the recency of KH2 last year and his 1-seed. TuRtLe ~~~ 38/48 in the contest. Next pick: Link > Bidoof BlAcK TuRtLe. The cream of Zero fanboyism |
