Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 115
From: AmazingKirby | Posted: 5/5/2005 12:20:36 PM | Message Detail
Can we agree Liquid having Snake in his name did him wonders now, at least?

Considering he holds about the same proportion to Solid Snake as Shadow holds to Sonic (by the 2003 stats, at least), that was pretty much a given.

Makes me wonder how Naked Snake could do, what with having Snake in his name and looking exactly like Solid...

My guess is about less than 60% on Knuckles.

And I'm pretty much dropping the favorite characters list.

Another project that you're crapping out on? You disappoint me.

Well at the very least, go list your top five and rant about Magus. >_>

It still wasn't something that was held as certain by everyone though. Now, I think it may be certain by everyone...

...and in my created bracket, I have Naked Snake facing Dante in the first round, then Shadow the Hedgehog in the next.

If Dark Link were to Link as Liquid is to Solid and Shadow is to Sonic, yes he would. Wouldn't exactly bank on it, though, but whatever.

Personally, I think Wily escapes tomorrow by the skin of his rather large rear (53%ish or less), and then goes on to do the exact opposite to Ocelot (pull in 47-50%). Why? Because I think all of these characters are ultimately fodder. If it happens, such that they all fall within a 60/40 of eachother, it means that they are ALL either a) strong, b) mid-tier or c) weak bastards (TM).

I agree with you, and that was a good post. Most of the characters in this field are weak bastards and/or varying levels of rat.

I think Ocelot is the only character who could really be affected by his picture... If people have only played MGS 3 then they have no idea that this Ocelot is the same one they fought in the game they played.

When I am proven right, every fanboy and every noob can pay me homage, as they should be doing already for my well written satirical columns!

Tonight...Wily vs Ultros...look for it...read it...and be enlightened by it!

I just looked at Moltar's topic, and I just now noticed that I picked Ocelot to win with just over 58% of the vote. I don't know what possessed me to pick that, but it's working out pretty well.

I'm going to laugh my ass off if Wily fails to break 53% tomorrow.

Yeah, let's see you say that when he doesn't even break 60% on Ultros.

He will be breaking 60% on Ultros and he will have a very good shot at beating Ocelot. He just isn't anywhere near the strength people were making him out to be. This showing today is nothing but disappointing from Ocelot.

I still maintain that Ocelot will get 67% on Wily.

I got something to think about - If somehow tomorrow's match is close (i.e. winner with less than 55% or so), would that be an indication that Wily is weaker than expected, Ultros is stronger than expected, or a little of both? I'm inclined to think it may be Ultros being stronger than expected. After all, he is Final Fantasy, and one of the most liked FFs on GameFAQs.

Tomorrow's pic is gonna be hilarious... a close-up of Ultros. lol And think about what the next pic would look like with the field sprite of Ultros on the piano...

I have a top 25 characters/game list made... but there are so many that I didn't think I should bother to put it up. Especially since I'm not exactly talkative on here...

If Wily struggles to beat Ultros, then he's probably pretty weak. I couldn't see the octopus being that close to Kefka.

Considering this comes from Heroic Mario, we know that the exact opposite will happen. Expect Ultros to win with 55% of the vote.

Considering it won't be the same percentage, I think it is safe to say that Wily's performance will be better. Wily shouldn't have a problem scoring over 60% on him. And either way, Bowser is going to have an absolute cakewalk getting out of the division. I mean, damn, this is far weaker than I expected from any of the contestants in this division.

Again, as was said, whatever HM says is way off base. Sorry, but I just don't think Wily will be any more impressive than anyone else has been so far, barring Bowser of course. I said from the begining that tomorrow's match had me ill at ease upon first glance, and having seen the last day and a half of matches I'm starting to feel that way again. Don't count out a square character.

And it isn't as though you're more correct on the matter than I am. Unless I state something that unreasonable due to bias, which this is not, there's no reason to suddenly think that I'm wrong. Mega Man character or not.

You certainly don't ever praise him.

That's because if I praise him people will go off saying that Magus is more than he actually is. This board has a habit of thinking Magus is incredibly deep and is a villain, both of which could not be more wrong. I actually like Magus, but you probably couldn't notice it because I bring him down in comparison to what people make him out to be. Unfortunate, but what can you do? =|
