You were here for last topic, right? I can turn this topic into a 500 post flame fest against me at my will. Don't direct me and I won't direct you. Hell, I bet I get some responses from just responding to your post. That's how damn influential I am in this topic.

Saved because someone in the last topic quoted him verbatim. I wouldn't doubt that this lil' number was the one that put him over the top.

What a moron.

Man, I love how people are saying that Snake is sucking it up. He's going to finish anywhere from 84-85% in this match, which is what anybody should have reasonably expected from this match.

Squall Leonhart's Road to the Summer Contest 2005 Championship
Round 1: (7) Geno

People don't understand how weak Tanner actually was. No other character should EVER perform as horribly as he did. He is a generic character from a game that is HARDLY popular on GameFAQS.

On top of that, he has entirely NO look going for him. He looks like an random guy in a suit, and it wasn't even that detailed a pic. He could be your across the street neighbor, or the guy that works in the men's department at Macy's. I could DRAW a made-up character and I guarantee that my drawing would get more votes than Tanner.

Any character like Manny or ANY type of cartoonish character will draw at least SOME votes due to having a distinct look...

That being said, Snake is doing fine in this match. As long as he got over 80%, I didn't think this match would show anything beneficial. I'd rather weigh in how he does against Vivi/Zelda before I judge him...

And the sad part is you are still giving him attention. In a way, he has accomplished his goal. You all are still talking about him and giving him attention. So thanks to people like you Steve, Tequilla wins in the end. So grow up and drop it, Steve. You are ruining my stats topic.

Hmmmm...Nice alt.

Manny is doing better than I would have thought, I called him the weakest fodder of the contest previously. Glad to see I was wrong.
---
Today's subliminal thought is:

Yeah, I think Yuri will win the ultimate jobber fodder award now. Agent 47 so isn't getting it though. 47 will avoid the tripling, mark my words.
---
Raiden fact of the contest: Alucard is a plagiarist, this year Raiden will prove it!

As a matter of fact, the only people who I think would have a good chance of beating Snake outside of the "noble nine" are Zero, Ganondorf, Magus, Auron, and Bowser (who is my upset special). Also if Vincent and Tifa are as strong as I think they are, then they should also be able to beat Snake.

I draw my line at Ryu... I don't think Ryu will be able to take a close match...

2) Tequilla's not exactly here right now; him winning is out of the question.

I hate to mark, I really do, but if I see any more off-topic posts/challengings like this ("So grow up and drop it, Steve."), I'm gonna do my part to get it out. Ulti, Chichiri, Tequila, JonDoe1234...don't care who; I just wanna see this senseless-ness end.

Agent 47 likely won't be THE weakest character we've seen in this contest or even among the worse two or three (well...maybe three), but he'll still be hard-pressed to avoid the tripling.
---

Yuri would be projected to get 10.02% on 2k4 Link... I just don't think we're getting a contest where no one is projected to get less than 10% on the champ, ever. Sora needs 82.46% to send 47 under 10%, and 82.42% to have Yuri over 47. I think he can manage that.

Agent 47 with 25.47% of the vote. Book it. And no, I'm not even a Hitman fan, I just have a feeling he'll surprise us all.

Um... how high does that put him in the stats? I want to see how ridiculous that prediction actually is.

Well below HK-47; I'm actually far too lazy to do the official stats right now, seeing as how I'm dizzy.

Snake put a decent hurt on Ryu back in '03; I'm not really sure how well they'd fare if they squared off again today. I'd presume somewhere around 54/46 as a final.

I'm interested in seeing Solid square off versus a Nintendo character, which - unless something freakish happens - should occur at least once in this tournament.

Tequilla's not exactly here right now; him winning is out of the question.

He's already posting in the topic with two alts, so I don't even get the point of saying that in the first place. Not that it matters, because he'll just screw up again and get modded anyway.

Anyway, Could Manny beat Joanna Dark or Yuri?

Freakish? Zelda's gonna have to fight hard to face him next round, and Bowser's gonna have to fight hard twice...and nevermind the fact that Solid could go down before the Gear and Dream division champs face each other, too. It would be somewhat surprising to see neither get to face him, but it's anything but freakish.

Hillary Clinton: We need to treat violent video games the way we treat tobacco or alcohol.

The prediction puts Agent 47 at 14.73% on 2k3 Link, above Freeman, below Lara Croft.

There's nothing wrong with that from where I stand. 47 will pull that one off.

Zelda would have to lose to Vivi, and Snake would have to lose to either Ryu or Tidus in order not to face a Nintendo character. Highly unlikely, but at least possible.

And it's pretty obvious who that alt is, at least to me. So just ignore him.

I'll admit, Manny is doing better than I thought, but Manny does indeed have a cult following. And Snake will probably reach 85-86% by the end.

And I predict tomorrow's match 51-49% with Vivi winning. It could go either way and it's not going beyond 52% for whoever wins.

Laharl over 47 is a given? You could've fooled me. (and for the record, Laharl is still above Agent 47 with my pick) Agent 47 beating anyone Laharl or lower doesn't seem too off if you ask me. I definitely can't see him beating Pac Man, though.
---
Raiden fact of the contest: Alucard is a plagiarist, this year Raiden will prove it!

I don't think the Driver series totally bombed in sales either. I mean, there are two sequels...

Damn CB rule ruining jokes.

Snake is not going to finish with nearly that high of a percentage. He's struggling to get 84% as is.

So did the Driver games and that doesn't stop Tanner from being the weakest person statistically. Not only that, but Agent 47 fits the qualities of Tanner - generic name and pic.

He has a generic look to those who haven't played his game, but those who have like the guy, which is more than you could say about Tanner.

Yeah, and the Hitman series has one. The games have sold decently well, I think.

Indeed. The original Hitman sold over a million copies and Hitman 2 sold 600,000 copies, both in America alone.

Driv3r, the game Tanner comes from, didn't even sell 500,000 copies in America. So, that goes to show the difference.

Me too.


The only thing I'm feelin' certain about anymore with Neo-Tanner is that he's gonna be a good bit weaker than HK-47...but he may avoid the tripling afterall. I'm still bankin' on him coming short of it though; probably about 23%.

Tanner . . . I would assume is a mute.
---
I need to put something here.

You're telling me "Agent 47" is as generic a name as "Tanner"? Not a chance. Tanner's generic just because it's just a name. Agent 47 is intended to sound generic, and in doing so, it's not. I know that sounds weird, but it's true.

His match picture is also about 10x better than Tanner's, he looks less generic too if you ask me. At least some could say he looks "badass"... say that about Tanner with a straight face.
---

When you get upset, remember it takes 42 muscles to frown, but only 4 to extend your middle finger.

Wait, Laharl over Agent 47 a given? That's hardly the case. People really shouldn't expect Agent 47 to be that low. Sheesh, it isn't as though no one has heard about him. He'll be far above the likes of Tanner. You can't even compare those two.

I played the first Driver game, though none of the actual main story. It was more fun just to drive around and evade the cops than it was to play the actual game itself. The free-roaming was better.

Never played Driv-three-r though.

Atleast you admitted you were wrong.

I got a question: if Manny = Guybrush and we assume that Solid gained strength from every bit of the rest of the extra percentage he has on Manny, where would that put him against Link 2k4?

Anyway, I don't think Agent 47 will be anywhere as weak as Tanner. He's got a cool picture, cool name, and has been in a few commercials in the past. I see a tripling from Sora, but not 80%.

That, uh, depends. Snake's projected to get 82.27% unadjusted and 84.05% adjusted. So at this point in time, through his adjusted ranking, he's dropped.
