Yeah, those bi-annual contests that are held over there.. A good amount of people make entries, I had a really good score last contest, but then again, most people did.

So, today is Samus Aran (Of Metroid fame) Vs. Nidoran (Female) from Pokemon, and although I expect the bounty hunter to pull through, I'm sure all of us have a spot in our hearts for the little critter.

After looking at my bracket, I'm starting to worry about the fact that I've got Zelda beating Aeris, and I totally under-estimated the fact that she's a character in FF7. Let's hope that Twilight Princess can come in a boost the Princess a bit, eh?

So, for anybody that has entered, what's on your bracket?

just put all nintendo and final fantasy characters as winners. you'll get everything right, i guarantee it.

on another note, why are they *still* making these? i remember it was a cool idea in like, summer 2003, but now it's just their replacement for daily polls, and they're all just as dumb and boring since the first one.

I was expecting someone like Mewtwo to appear on the list rather than a Nidoran Female.

As for the contest, I didn't enter it at all. I just vote for whoever I like on the poll and move on.

Why not enter? You can win stuff.

I got Solid Snake winning the male bracket and Zelda winning the female.

I participated in the contest they had about a month and a half ago, I did okay. I guess I didn't realize this was gonna be a contest, I just knew about the character nominations. I completely missed the part where you pick a bracket like last time.

I visited gamefaqs alot less since they changed layout, although the layout change isn't the main reason why I started visiting it less.

IT's still one of the better sites for information though as the other similar sites is even worse adlovers.

I would have picked a bracket but... Quebec... no prizes... waste of time... :\

Zelda vs. Aeris is REALLY tough to call. Don't have the brackets on me but that could easily be a final.

But who wins if Nidoran F wins? I mean, that's as close as you can get to "x character beats Link", but, could be something at least cooler, like Scizor, or Noctowl...

GameFAQs sucks. Pointless popularity contests suck.

I believe that's all that needs to be said on this matter.

I noticed KOS-MOS was also in that bracket, and she's became quite popular in more recent years.. In fact, that is probably the only remotely interesting bracket in the whole thing. I wouldn't mind finding out how that went, though a sinking feeling tells me Aeris will get it, just because it is FFVII related.

I tend to visit gamefaqs only to look something up or if I need a good laugh I'll go to the messageboards.

Final Fantasy = way overrated. There are better games out, although FF is not bad in general (well, except part eight )
GameFAQs only interests me in terms of game-specific information; like it is interesting to know the damage/spell formula in role playing games and such.

I won't vote, as it is simply only a contest. If the games I like are included, it's nice, if not - doesn't change anything.

KOS-MOS didn't do well the past two years so I don't see things changing. She's not as popular as you think, and if the Sonic fanboys show up Amy could get past her.

That's what you have to think about during the tournament; fan boys.

I like to set up my brackets just to see how much I don't agree with the general public of GameFAQs. I have Yoshi beating Ada Wong in the final, but that's just me and I can almost guaruntee that neither of those two will make it very far. Oh well, it's fun.

FUCK. Oderus is pissed!
Why did noone tell me about this? I wanted to put in my bracket like I do for every contest!

You will all pay for not telling me ahead of time...

I'm pretty sure I can call the final 8 and what'll happen after that.

Women: Samus Aran (Spazer), Princess Peach (Limit), Zelda (Triforce), Yuna (Aeon). Top 3 seeds and Peach because I think Tifa doesn't have enough fans. Aeris *could* beat Zelda and Yuna *could* fall to Lara but I don't see either of those happening.

Men: Solid Snake (Patriot), Mega Man (Destiny), Sonic (Blast), Master Chief (Time). I don't buy Sora as a solid #1 seed (hence Mega Man beating him) and Master Chief will get quite the Halo fanboy vote.

Women's Bracket: Samus beats Peach convincingly, Zelda edges past Yuna, Samus beats Zelda by 3-4%.

Men: Solid Snake gets by Mega Man, Master Chief beats Sonic handily, Snake just gets through over Chief.

Final: Samus over Snake by a 3% margin.

So yeah... I see Samus winning the whole thing but we shall see.

Surprising, I seem to see her mentioned a lot, or.. I used to.
Regardless, I agree with your original statement in that bracket being an interesting one, and yes, Amy, how did I miss that.. Hmm..
