charmander6000 10/19/18 5:03:17 PM #20:	Match V: (3) Vivi vs. (14) Yu Narukami Previous Contest Performance Vivi - 2013 Round 1: 62.18% against Adam Jensen (23.87%) and Marisa Kirisame (13.95%) Round 2: 41.27% against Mario (41.09%) and Ganondorf (17.64%) Round 3: 33.84% against Pokemon Trainer Red (39.10%) and Squall Leonhart (27.05%) Yu Narukami - 2013 Round 1: 32.59% against Shadow the Hedgehog (49.76%) and Kat (17.65%) Analysis With a five-year gap between character battles it is only natural that some characters have increased or decreased in strength and as gurus we must make decisions to stay ahead of the curve. One of my expectations is that Final Fantasy IX characters will be stronger this year. The game had a great performance in 2015 and it feels like people are getting warmer towards what was once a relatively forgotten game of the series. Now that doesnt mean I think Vivi will defeat Mario, but I do feel he has the potential to reach the Squall/Auron/Tifa tier of Final Fantasy characters. Yu also has reasons to be stronger too. The Persona series has gone from niche to relatively popular, especially with the release of Persona 5. Yu may have missed out on the full boost, but its clear that Persona 4 has gotten more popular as well. Of course, this wont cover the gap between Vivi and Yu, but we could see a bit of an overperformance. charmander6000s Bracket: Vivi > Yu Narukami charmander6000s Prediction: 70.32% - 29.68% Match VI: (6) Victor Sullivan vs. (11) Aya Brea Previous Contest Performance Victor Sullivan - N/A N/A Aya Brea - 2013 Round 1: 18.18% against Sora (46.81%) and Scorpion (35.00%) Analysis After taking a long break Aya Brea returned in 2013 to show us that she is, unsurprisingly no longer equal to Donkey Kong. She may not be horrible fodder, but she is fodder nonetheless and with nothing since the last contest I dont expect much out of her. Though to be fair, I dont expect much out of Victor Sullivan whom is only here because of a board rally. Nathan Drake hasnt shown much strength in these contests so to expect a side character, even a popular one from the same series to be worth anything is not wise. Still I wouldnt completely discredit Sullivans chances. Aya Brea could be even weaker now to the point where shes horrible, but the safe bet is to go with Aya Brea. charmander6000s Bracket: Aya Brea > Victor Sullivan charmander6000s Prediction: Aya Brea wins, 62.73% - 37.27% --- CBX - Today's Winners: Dante, Lightning, Chun-Li, Ganondorf Score: 0/0 <cite>charmander6000 posted [p:910814180] in Contest St...
