Not many fighting characters do well in GameFAQs Contests. Ryu is not one of them. Definitely worthy of being in the Contest.

Ok, this is a nice example of a match that is hard to predict looking at it, but easy once you look into the stats. KOS-MOS and Ryu both faced Samus. Ryu faced her in 2002 and lost 42-58. KOS-MOS faced her in 2003 and lost 30-70. Samus was even slightly weaker in 2003 than in 2002. Ryu also had a better showing in 2003. The Street Fighter wins easily. Unfortunately, we also get only 1 KOS-MOS match pic this year. ;_;

<b>Moltar's Bracket Says:</b> Ryu will win.

<b>Moltar's Prediction is:</b> KOS-MOS 42% - Ryu 58%

<b>Ulti's Analysis</b>

This match is being debated? There is <i>no</i> reason for this match to be debated:

Summer 2003 - North Round 1 - (7) KOS-MOS [30.25%] vs (2) Samus [69.75%] - 39.5%

Summer 2002 - West Round 2 - (5) Samus [57.85%] vs (4) Ryu [42.15%] - 15.7%

They each have a common opponent, and there is too large a gap between them for KOS-MOS to make up.

<b>Ulti's Bracket/Prediction</b> - Ryu/Ryu with 57.44%

<b>Cena's Analysis</b>

Good, another interesting match. I'm liking this division so far. KOS-MOS is a sexy robot, and Ryu is, well, he's the man (aside from Ken Masters, of course). I honestly don't have much to say for this match, except it's possible that it could go either way. KOS-MOS is from Xenosaga, a well known, well reviewed RPG. That's straight down GameFAQs' alley. Plus, she's female, so that's gotta be 20,000 votes right there. Ryu, however, is from the more popular Street Figher series, in which he kicks major ass and doesn't even bother to take names. Like I said, it could go either way, but I'm expecting Ryu to take it.

I used a lot of commas there.

<b>Cena's Vote:</b> Ryu

<b>Cena's Prediction:</b> Ryu with 54% (I wonder if Ryu could take down Sonic in round 2)
