LogFAQs > #938533198

I was 17 years old at the time and my mother was working two jobs to afford me to go to college. While she worked, I studied the GameFAQs contest history. I also devised secret formulas that the "gurus" of Board 8 didn't even dared to dream. Well, I DARED TO DREAM and I am great position to take first place in the contest. As of yesterday, I am the highest Cloud bracket. Cloud > Link is all I need to net first place and I'm here to tell you why it is inevitable that this particular result happens.

My bracket has the finals being Cloud, Link, Snake and Sonic. Let me start by saying that I knew L-Block would make it to the finals, I just didn't want to change it. This is actually good for Link because Sonic would have drained the holy hell out of him. We confirmed this is Zelda/Tails. Regardless, Cloud will still beat Link. Cloud has consistently outperformed Link very round. No exceptions. While Link was struggling to break 70% on Agent J, Edgeworth and Bidoof, Cloud was SFFing everyone into oblivion left and right. Cloud has gotten stronger and received new SFF powers this contest thanks to the site's second playthrough of Kingdom Hearts II or SPF. Conversely, Twilight Princess has weakened Link and the other Zelda characters as well as causing him to lose his SFF powers. Link failed to SFF Samus, Mario and Bidoof. How sad. I refer to the negative affects of Twilight Princess to be TPFF (Twilight Princess Flop Factor). Solid Snake is a no-factor here and he won't even get 10%. He's embarrassed himself this contest and anyone voting for him is wasting their vote.

Now onto L-Block. I for one am not amused. However, some of you think he has been getting stronger this round. Well, as Lux Luthor would put it "Wrooong!" L-Block got 30% last round against 3 stronger characters of radically different fanbases. This round, he's only doing 5% better despite facing a much weaker four-pack of characters that are somewhat similar (compared to last round anyways). Also, 35% on this four-pack is impressive, but Link and Cloud would be getting close to 45% here. L-Block is going to fold in the face of real competition. To summaries, I am a communist, I am in college, Solid Snake is a joke, Cloud is stronger this year, Link is weaker this year and L-Block is not as strong as you think he is.

Hochiminh's Krazy Prediction: Cloud with 32%, Link with 31%, L-Block with 28%, Solid Stupid with 9%
