## Results and Analysis
### Interesting Facts
- The Ultimate Loser of the 2006 Contest was Master Chief. Chief lost to Sub-Zero, who lost to Auron, who lost to Crono, who lost to Sonic, who lost to Solid Snake, who lost to Samus.
- 14 of the 64 characters who appeared in this contest haven't made a Character Battle since. To no one's surprise, 13 of the 14 are female; the only male on that list is Soma Cruz.
### Ulti's Analysis
CJayC halfway announced a surprise twist this time around by making the nomination form 7 male 7 female. He never actually said what the twist \*was\*, but the three ideas thrown around were a 32-32 bracket, a tag team battle or a 48-16 bracket. The last one made no sense and a tag team would be match pic hell for Ceej, so even though no one wanted to admit it until they saw it, we were due for some 32-32 goodness. Or badness.
The last post Slowflake read before leaving Board 8 for good (allegedly \<\_\<):
*From CJayC Posted 8/18/2006 8:00:34 PM \#001*
*Preliminary, may change, but looking solid.*
*1s:*
*Solid Snake, Sora, Sonic, Crono.*
*Samus, Zelda, Tifa, Yuna.*
*8s:*
*Soma, CATS, Captain Falcon, Tingle.*
*Roll. Carmen Sandiego, Ivy, Nidoran F.*
*And, for the record, Midgar Zolom and Jay Solano weren't even remotely in the running.*
This did little more than reveal the 32-32 format, as well as an 8x8 format therein. General consensus was that the male side was a beast to predict, but the female side was horrendous. Given how everything went down, it's hard to disagree with this.
My personal ranking of contests:
1. Summer 2002
2. Spring 2004 (Games)
3. Summer 2006
4. Summer 2003
5. Summer 2005
6. Spring 2006 (Series)
7. Spring 2005 (Villains)
8. Summer 2004
### Ngamer's Analysis
Eh, I think everyone knows the story of '06 pretty well. Really terrible and fodderific (as in, *Villains-bad*) Female half pulled out of the fire at least somewhat by Peach/Jill and the complete insanity that was Samus/Tifa, while the Male side was great throughout. That half was just solid top to bottom, and featured some true gems in Sonic/Crono, the truly delightful Subby \> MC, and fun upsets in Luigi \> Zero and Steroid Snake's awesome run. And then to have more surprises in the BR with Mario dropping out early and Snake outlasting Sephy was just the icing on the cake. Overall I'd rate 2006 as a "Very Good" Contest, but the 28 or so useless Female matchups are always going to hold it back from "Great" status.

Of all the joke characters that were heavily rallied by Board 8, Nidoran F was the one that made it. I don't know how much of this had to do with Ceej manually not caring about some results (there's no WAY Solano didn't have enough noms), but it's a known fact that Nidoran also had the full backing of LUE and LL. Her reward was to be 8 seed fodder.
*Insert silly "The first match isn't about who wins, but by how much" line*
We've had what, eight contests? And 8 times, we've seen Nintendo take the \#1 overall seed. 8 times, we've seen Nintendo make a killing in that first match. This one was a mite different depending on your perspective. Either Samus was supposed to SFF Nidoran F into oblivion en route to like a 95-5 beating, or you remembered that Samus always stinks up the joint against Nintendo. And in this case, that paired with the joke entrant factor kept Samus under 80% for quite awhile. She eventually would "only" win with 81.85% of the vote, and leave it to Board 8 to start writing a character's epitaph after ONLY scoring 81.85% in a match. Nothing here proved anything about Samus; NF just had the joke factor going for her, plus Pokemon has legitimate strength anyway. NOMINATE MEWTWO PLZ KTHX.

This match was the first of many that would cause mass whining about the female bracket, though the whining was kind of funny in this match. "Who the F is Jade?" was the slogan of the day, as well as postulations claiming that Jade from Mortal Kombat would have given Ada a real match.
...come to think of it, I can't remember what game Jade is from. Beyond Good and Evil, was it?
Anyway, depending on your perspective, this match was one of two things. Either Ada was a complete beast, or Jade just sucked. It wouldn't take long for us to find out, because Ada's easy win meant a date with Samus in the next round.
Fun little note: the Resident Evil day vote is so pathetic that Ada's percentage actually went down a little bit before she made a slight recovery in the evening. I'm also completely out of things to say (boring matches featuring two noobs do that), so I'll just ask "HOW THE \*\*\*\* DID JADE GET A 5 SEED?" and move on.
Honestly, Jade was so pathetic that our streak of matches breaking 100,000 total votes ended by about 1850. Damn yoooooooou. On the bright side, I had actually polished up RE4 just before this contest began. Seeing Ada win a match was pretty nice, and I don't care what XIII says. Ada is the third best character in Mercs for her semi-auto rifle *alone*. As for how much damage she takes, stop sucking and learn how to avoid things \<\_\<

One of these days, I need to get around to playing the iso of Valkyrie Profile that I own (er, HAVE \<\_\<) just to see how Lenneth is doing so well in that "Who Would Win in a Fight?" contest. I don't think I've ever seen KOS-MOS lose a match in one of those things until this year.
And with that said, isn't it odd to think that Rikku is the FFX entity to pull off the biggest blowout for the series? Tidus, Auron, Yuna, and even FFX itself couldn't ever pull 75% in a poll, but Rikku could. Says a lot about how many people even know who Lenneth is.
I should also get around to playing Valkyrie Profile 2 one of these days, for the same reasons as above. But thinking about that is depressing, because my backlog of games is absolutely beyond catching up with :(
Hmm, what else can be said about such a boring blowout... Well the vote totals got back above 100,000, and I believe they stayed there for the rest of the contest. Rikku proved that last year's good match against Ryu was no fluke, at least in terms of being consistent. It's difficult for most flukes to ever break 75% in a match, unless they're up against complete jokes. And if this match didn't prove Rikku's worth, the second round likely would in the eyes of most.
You know, I just noticed that of all of Ceej's division names, "Spazer" is the most badass-sounding of them all. Ruin and Patriot come close, but come on. Spazer? FF6 taking a 1 seed in a games contest and being named the Havoc Wing division is the only thing I can think of that sounds more badass.

## Results
**Round One**
Friday, September 15th, 2006
## Ulti's Analysis
- **Division:** Spazer Division
- **Match \#:** 04
- **Match Date:** Friday, September 15th, 2006
- **Vote difference:** 4,496
- **Oracle Expectations:** Kairi - 54.70% 110 for - 39 against
- **GameFAQs Prediction:** Kairi - 62.48% (26,645 brackets)
There were about 9 million good reasons for either character potentially winning this match, and I don't have nearly enough free time to cover them all. So here's a couple of bullet lists of pros that favored both characters:
Kairi:
- Kingdom Hearts 2
- Sora and Riku's past performances lining up well with RE's, and a KH2 boost would be enough to put Kairi over the top.
- KH fans care about Kairi a little more than RE fans care about Claire. The seeding for the two characters helps prove this weirdo theory people had.
- Jill went down pretty much every year until she was out of the bracket entirely, while the KH crew went up. Claire was in one bracket, 2002, and her Xst rating in that bracket is completely irrelevant.
Claire:
- Said 2002 performance proving some potential strength.
- Resident Evil 4; there had to be some carry-over to past games, right?
- KAIRI DOES NOTHING in either game until the tail end of both.
- Resident Evil had a higher Xst rating in the series contest than Kingdom Hearts, and the series contest happened post-KH2.
- RE2 fans claim that Claire is the most popular character in the game.
Basically, seeding aside, this was a good tossup match. A lot of people picked Kairi based on seeding and KH2, yet she is completely untested and likely only got the seeding because of how fodder-y the female half was. On Claire's side, we've at least seen her in action before with some strength, even if Tidus has since bombed to hell and back since his glory days of 2002-2003. Matches where we have no stats to go on and both characters have good chances of winning are always the best.
Kairi began the match with an expected bracket vote surge, and she kept up her momentum en route to a lead of over 500 after just over 90 minutes. But she never took full control of the match, and just like during Castlevania/Kingdom Hearts in the series contest, a night vote beast would put KH back on its heels.
1:40 into the match, Kairi had a 535 vote lead. 5 minutes later, Claire shot that thing down to 463 and just kept on rolling from there. RE's historically good night vote took over, and after a stall effort from Kairi in which she pushed her lead back over 500, Claire took control of the night. It was a painstaking process for her for quite awhile thanks to a ton of Kairi stalling, but the dead of night allowed Claire to push the lead under 200.
Unfortunately, the morning vote hit Claire like a storm surge and Kairi was back over 500 in no time. But then all of the kids went to school, and Claire once again found herself chipping away bit by bit. Her breakthrough finally came around lunchtime. 10:40 into the match, Kairi was up by 300 votes. It took Claire one hour to gain the lead for the first time, and she used the rest of the in-school vote very well; by the time the kids got out of school, Claire had a 500 vote lead of her own.
Here's where the fun really began. Now for starters, Smurf more or less bragged about vote-stuffing for Claire and got himself axed during the match. Whether or not he actually did will always be 'officially' unknown, but it's very rare for someone to get an axe for simply joking about cheating during a match that wasn't all that close.
And regardless, it didn't even matter in the end. All Kingdom Hearts fans and contest veterans knew what was coming, which was KH yet again laying waste to some poor sap during the day vote. KH came back against Soul Calibur twice during the day. Riku gave Frog a mild scare during the day. Sora turned an even match with Alucard into a joke during the day. Ansem, despite being in trouble against CATS for hours, laid waste to him once the day vote came along. And these are just famous example of KH winning matches this way; it's cut off a ton of percentage during the day vote in almost all of its losses as well.
Claire Redfield would end up the next sap in line for a KH day vote beating. At 2:25 EST, Claire was up by 500 votes on Kairi. It didn't even take an hour and a half for Kairi to erase all of that, and Kairi went absolutely berserk on Claire once she caught up to her. Claire's 500 vote lead turned into getting her face kicked in by almost 4500 votes by match's end. This rivals the great vote swings ever seen in contests, and turned a pretty good match into a one-sided joke. Claire was 9 and a half hours away from what would have been a pretty nice upset, but not a lot of people are going to remember that; instead, the KH day vote archive was being set in stone.
Regardless of who you were pulling for here, put some perspective on what Kairi did here. In all three KH games, the only action she takes that I like her for is the KH1 ending sequence. It's an amazing sequence and I love her for it, but you'll never hear me saying anything about how deep she is. She does hardly anything in any of the games, despite the story virtually revolving around Sora and Riku's shared love for her. And yet because of the series she stars in, she kicked the holy hell out of what RE fans consider an elite. Um... ouch?
KH2F confirmed. I don't think there's a chance in hell Kairi wins this if this match is held in 2005, but we'll never really know. What I can say for sure is that a handful of RE characters could certainly use a leading role or two in upcoming RE games, assuming they're as good as 4.
## Match Trends
## Ed Bellis' Analysis
It’s funny how it’s often the most inconsequential matches that prove the most exciting. This first-round tossup was more exciting than almost all of the other female bracket matches put together (which isn’t saying that much, but still). I’m pretty sure there were a bunch of lead changes (again, IIRC), with Claire leading for the morning and Kairi coming back with the afterschool vote, though it was a very neck-and-neck battle. It’s rare nowadays that a big-name match gets as much excitement as smaller ones do (this year being the exception – thanks, L-Block); four matches in and people were already eliminated from the Guru, including master predictor yoblazer.

This match wasn't at all interesting, so I'll first discuss the one thing that there is to discuss. Look at that match pic. Did you ever think that you would see the queen of TJF get TJF'D like that? God damn, Ivy could boob-smother Tifa at like a 2:1 ratio. This seriously caused like an extra 40k votes, I bet.
But seriously, the vote totals in this match were a bit ridiculous, especially given that this was a premeditated blowout. I know it was a weekend match involving FF7 and all, but you'd think Ivy would have brought the totals down a notch.
Tifa's performance here was probably the first truly dominant showing of the contest, given that for whatever reason people felt that Samus disappointed against Nidoran F. She broke 96000 votes against a character from a game that came within hours of beating Kingdom Hearts two years ago. On a related note, Ivy's doing badly, Soul Calibur's doing badly and Nightmare not even making the field despite placing in the Rally Tournament make me think that Soul Calibur's showing against KH was a fluke. Close fourpacks generally see anomalies, and Soul Calibur would be another good example of that. There's also the fact that Soul Calibur 3 didn't make nearly the splash of the first two games.
But hey, at least it's got boobs!
It's also pretty funny to think that Tifa's future scaring of Samus *may* have been clued in before this contest was a week old. Compare Tifa's first match to Samus's and ask yourself whose was more impressive.

- **Oracle Expectations:** The Boss - 50.92% 81 for - 68 against
- **GameFAQs Prediction:** The Boss - 68.19% (29,080 brackets)
There were many a match unnecessarily debated pre-contest, and this one right here is one of my favorites of the bunch. I \*knew\* that Celes was going to lose despite all of the ridiculous hype given to this thing, and I'll try my best to repeat the reasons I gave when the "omg Celes will win :(" stress grew thicker and thicker as the match drew close. MAJOR SPOILERS FOR MGS3 AND FF6 ARE COMING, HEATHENS.
Celes is one of my favorite characters, and by far my favorite FF chick. She has a sense of rugged individuality about her that any man would admire and aspire to, and went through hell to earn it. She's got style. She's got grace. She's got class. And she's a Magitek-infused Imperial General that would whip your ass in a heartbeat if you \*\*\*\*ed with her. Let me live in my illusion that it took hundreds of soldiers to capture and jail Celes, mkay?
And even then, The Boss is just a better character and the ultimate patriot. She allows history to remember her as a defector and a traitor, as a woman who took the fall for America so that America could avoid a nuclear holocaust with the USSR. Then she dies for an America that spits on her time and time again in the process just so America could get her hands on the Philosopher's Legacy and clear its name of having fired a nuke in USSR territory in the first place. The Boss dies for a cause that no one knows exists and her own country sees her as one of history's big villains, setting the stage for perhaps the most touching moment in the HISTORY of gaming, and Celes's pathetic little cliff dive in which she fails at failing is supposed to compare? Give me a break.
Furthermore, FF6 features an ensemble cast. As a whole, the game is a masterpiece, but no one part of the whole is given overwhelming favoritism by the fanbase. Meanwhile, MGS fans love The Boss. Her character is a masterpiece and one of Kojima's finest works.
From a stats perspective, run a (lol) X-stats on 2005 Terra vs 2005 Ocelot. Supposedly overrated Terra gets creamed there, and Celes fans then turned around and assumed that The Boss vs Celes would see Celes make up a difference that large. Um... how? Why? FF6 characters have bombed time and time again in these things, yet people continue having blind faith in them anyway, assuming that SOMETHING from a game that popular has to be strong.
Which is a failure in logic, by the way. Are Diablo characters strong? Are Starcraft characters strong? Ensemble casts can be weak in these contests, even if their game is as powerful as FF6. But I digress. The match finally came, and The Boss laid down a 60-40 beating on Celes that everyone should have seen coming way in advance. There is absolutely nothing else to discuss, given all of the information above. But if you must have hard numbers, so be it. The Boss started on the 60-40 path from the opening cell and didn't stop until Celes was a bloody pulp at the end of the match. Period, end of story, see you all tomorrow.
WHY do you people feel the need to hype these types of matches? A desperate need to argue?

This will likely be the only match we ever see Sheena in; it's kind of a shame that she had zero chance to win. It's tough to write about matches where the winner was all but given a bye, because anyone could have just looked at a few numbers in advance to see what was going to happen. However, there are two things worth noting here.
Of all the stupid picks Lopen made, Sheena winning her fourpack was by far my favorite of them. I should make a topic making fun of him one of these days =p
As for the actual match, the final numbers are a bad indicator of certain things; namely, Resident Evil being terrible with the day vote. We all knew how bad it was when Street Fighter managed to make a match out of its loss to RE in the series contest, but Jill doing similarly badly against Sheena was just ridiculous. And remember, we've seen RE vs TOS before in the form of Lloyd needing the day vote to really finish off Wesker.
Sheena's day vote against Jill was kind of like that, though the match was never really in question. After Jill got an early bracket vote surge to get above 66%, she fell below a doubling 15 minutes into the match. She flirted in the 65% range all through the night vote, then mildly collapsed during the day. Jill giving up over 3% that late in the match to what is essentially a cult character is no small feat, and such lax performance during the after-school vote wouldn't cut it for Jill were she to see a close match later in the contest.

Two things killed the Jill/Peach hype. One was Jill's collapse against Sheena, and the other was Peach's killing of Daisy here in this match.
And let me tell you something. I know I promised to be nicer and as unbiased as possible during this project, but for one match, screw that. I've loved Peach ever since Mario 2 when I was a little kid, and Mario 2 was the Mario game that really got me into the series. In a way, I grew up with her almost as much as Mario himself. Then after a massive hiatus, Peach returned in all her glory in SSBM.

I mean damn, look how fat Daisy is. That match pic isn't Peach at her best (like here: [
