Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 207
From: Slowflake | Posted: 8/18/2005 7:23:04 PM | Message Detail
The X-Sts have been given a swift kick in the rear so far because of an apparent change in demographics (seriously, I got nothing to explain Nintendo and New Square leaving everything else in the dust), a weak Magus we could've seen coming but didn't, seeing how we were blinded by his showing against Link and Ganondorf's non-apparent-but-still-real- boost (which is all an unfortunate coincidence, really) and the man in green (no comment, never have the X-Sts been this off on a non-SFF match, EVER).

I'll say it again, because it's worth repeating, the X-Sts are like a puzzle that has to be assembled. The Angel Kefka and Sam Fisher pieces didn't go together, and we paid dearly for it.

man, this match sucks. looks like a tripling ain't happening here. I can't even come up with anything interesting to say about this match.

someone come up with a crazy theory or something so I have something to read.

Analysis

Final match of the round and it can be anywhere from a boring blowout to an upset. Ocelot is the third and final character to make it to a summer contest. I will like to say that Pac-Man is one of my favorite characters and that I have overestimated him in all three of his contests (had him over Scorpion and Kefka and thought he would easily break 40% against Luigi), but hopefully I won’t overestimate him.

Like I said Ocelot’s only contest was the Villains contest we had last spring. He did very well for himself beating both Nemesis and Dr. Wily and getting 35% against Bowser. I know it’s hard to relate this contest with the regular summer contests, but Ocelot did do better than Kefka and Kefka beat Pac-Man so that alone may be the reason why Ocelot should win this match.

Now for Pac-Man, he’s a very weird character. Everyone that’s ever played video games knows him, but when it comes to voting people will abandon him and vote for the other character that they know since Pac-Man isn’t really high on people’s favorite characters list. So let’s put it this way Pac-Man does better against cult like or unknown characters to the average person and does worse against characters that are mainstream (like Mario, Master Chief and Sonic). That would explain why Pac-Man did so bad against Luigi while Kefka put up some good numbers against Knuckles. So what does it have to do with Ocelot? Well I wouldn’t say he’s mainstream like Luigi, but he’ll probably show strength closer to what he had in 2k2 and against Kefka.

So there’s a big range here for Pac-Man to get. This could be a 65/35 match to a 55/45 match (but that is if the x-st for the villains contest has any kind of meaning). I don’t see Ocelot getting 65/35 on Pac-Man since I don’t think he’s mainstream as Luigi (who also put some weird numbers against KOS-MOS). I also wouldn’t be surprised if Pac-Man won the match, but after thinking about that I don’t think that would be a great idea since Yoshi will beat Pac-Man Luigi style, but I’m hoping Pac-Man does well.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Revolver Ocelot over Pac-Man

charmander6000’s Prediction: Ocelot wins, 53.55% - 46.45%

*We now interrupt your regularly scheduled analysis for something more…special.*

Samus vs. Lara III – The Hand Strikes Back Edition

*The scene starts off in a small, gray room, with one lightbulb hanging from the ceiling. In a corner, there is a bed, and on the other side of the room, is a TV on top of an empty box. Inside the room, there are some Contest characters.*

Tails: *sigh*

*All of a sudden, the door bursts open, and Shadow charges in, his guns raised in the air*

Shadow: WHERE THE HELL AM I?

Tails: Shadow!

Shadow: SHUT THE **** UP! WHY AM I NOT OUT THERE PERFORMING WITH THE REST OF THOSE CHARACTERS?

*Liquid Snake rose from the opposite side of the room*

Liquid: Because, this is a room for snubbed characters.

*Shadow drops his guns*

Shadow: No…No, this can’t be. I refuse to believe it. I am the Ultimate Lifeform!

Liquid: Well, it’s a reality. We have to stay in this room and there is nothing we can do about it.

Tails: Hey guys, at least they gave us a TV! We can watch the Contest on it!

*Shadow observes the room*

Shadow: What’s that over there?

Liquid: You mean Bomberman’s corpse, I can explain. I was hungry, and he was looking so tas-

Shadow: No, I mean that girl over there.

Tails: You mean Aeris?

Shadow: Yeah.

Liquid: She’s been in here for a while now. She doesn’t say or do much anymore. Just sits there with that flower in her hand.

Shadow: How flattering…

Liquid: Yeah, we’re only keeping her alive because we’re thinking she’s on the verge of breaking soon, and when she does, she might finally want to have sex with me.

Tails and Shadow: o_O;; Oookay.

Liquid: Erm…let’s turn on that TV now.

*The 3 gather around the TV and watch the Summer Contest 2005 on it.*

Icon: Hello folks, and welcome to the Summer Contest 2005 Contest. I’m Icon, the announcer for this event. For the folks wondering, no, I’m not wearing any pants. Today’s match is Revolver Ocelot from Metal Gear Solid, versus Pac-Man, from Pac-Man. Earlier on, we interviewed them on their thoughts on the match, let’s see what they had to say.

Ocelot: *opens his mouth, as to speak, but then closes it and handgestures* Love me, *****es.

Pac-Man: WAKKA WAKKA WAKKA! *eats camera*

Icon: As they say on the Internets, “Them’s fighting words.” Now let’s go up to the Analysis Booth, where Moltar and Ulti wait to tell you why they’re right, you’re wrong, and that they sleep with your mothers. Now excuse me, but EC is charging at me at a dangerously fast speed and *BAM*
From: Master Moltar | Posted: 8/18/2005 7:30:49 PM | Message Detail
Moltar: Thank you, Icon. Hello gamers, I’m Moltar here with Ulti.

Ulti: *waves*

Moltar: Today’s match is Revolver Ocelot vs. Pac-Man. Ulti, a penny for your thoughts?

Ulti: More like a dollar for them. I mean, I DID win the 2004 Spring Contest. But anyway, I believe that Pac-Man has become nothing but a damned weakling in these Contests. Back in 2002, while Ms. Pac-Man was getting raped by Mega Man…

*scene cuts to a shed at night, and voices are heard from inside, along with a squeaking sound*

Ms. Pac-Man: WAKKA!

Mega Man: SHUT UP! *blasts*

*momentary silence* *the squeaking continues*

Ulti: Pac-Man was making it to the Sweet 16. Then in 2003, something happened. Pac-Man…lost to Kefka, and thus he lost all Contest respect anyone ever had for him. Then he rolled over to Luigi in 2004. Now he’s back, and I see him rolling over to Ocelot as well.

Moltar: I agree. Pac-Man is definitely not the competitor he used to be. He went from hunting the fodder, to becoming the hunted. He’s nothing but fodder in both mine, and Ocelot’s eyes.

Ulti: See, I’m always right. Now let’s go back down to the field, where the match is scheduled to take place….now.

Soul: Ok guys, I’m the referee here. I want this to be a nice, clean match. Ocelot, no killing half the crowd this time.

Ocelot: Whatever do you mean, ref?

Soul: You remember what happened last time…

*cut to flashback of Ocelot hand-gesturing half the crowd to death*

Ocelot: Oh...yeah.

Pac-Man: Wakka!

Soul: Let’s get this start-ALAYEELAYAEEYAEEEYEAYYE!

*Hassan enters*

Soul: HASSAN! *tackles*

*the bell rings and Ocelot draws his pistols and fires at Pac-Man*

Ocelot: Die you…yellow munching thing!

*Pac-Man eats the bullets*

Ocelot:….Oh snap. *handgestures*

*Pac-Man is unaffected*

Ocelot: *runs*

Crowd: Boo!

*Back in the backroom, the Snubs watch the match on TV*

Shadow: This is stupid, come on guys, we’re going to make an impact.

Liquid: I’m with you. Let’s get some payback.

Tails: Uh…I guess I can help!

Shadow: Excellent. Aeris, are you coming too?

*Aeris says nothing*

Shadow: Ooook, everyone grab onto me.

*Shadow pulls out a chaos emerald*

Shadow: CHAOS CONTROL!

*The 4 of them are instantly warped to the field*

Liquid: Time to get our revenge! *fires at the crowd*

Shadow: Chaos Spear! *aims at the crowd and some of the other competitors* HAHAHAHA!

Ocelot: Time for me to put an end to this…*pulls out Master Hand and puts him on his hand* *grows 50 feet tall*

Outback: Now he has become…Ocelot Reborn!

Ocelot: That’s clever. Did you come up with it all by yourself?

Outback: Yes…yes I did.

*from inside the locker room in the back*

Magus: Hey guys, it looks like there’s trouble outside!

Crono: …

Magus: Well Crono, it seems that Ocelot has grown into a giant and the snubbed characters are destroying everything.

Frog: Art there any hot lasses out yonder so ye can touch thou?

Crono: …

Magus: He’s right, that is gross. Anyway, let’s get out there!

*Back outside on the field*

Dante: THIS PARTY’S GETTIN’ CRAZY! *is hand-gestured and dies*

KOS-MOS: *pulls out all her weapons* Extermina-*battery dies*

Sora: My keyblade will unlock the good in your hearts!

Ganondorf: *takes said keyblade and shoves it up Sora’s ass*

Maplejet: This Contest has lost all credibility!

Moltar: All hell has broken lose…again. Ulti, what do you suppose we do?

Ulti: Well, I did predict this was going to happen, so I made some space pods! Unfortunately, only the first 500 posters can get one.

Poster 501: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Ulti: Sorry Vader, let’s go everyone!

*The 500 people in the pods escape, meanwhile, back on the field*

Tidus: Squall, there’s been something I’ve been meaning to tell you for a while.

Squall: What is it, Tidus?

Tidus: I…love you.

Squall:………..Dude, that’s totally ga-

Tidus: I was just playin’ dawg.

*Crono, Magus and Frog emerge, along with Sonic, Mega Man, Mario and Solid Snake*

Magus: Alright, we’ve gathered the strongest characters in the Contest.

Crono: …?

Frog: Thou art correct. Where art Samus?

*Samus is seen backstage with STA*

STA: Ok, CYOA. Do you choose to go inside Door 1, 2 or 3.

Samus: How about…Door 3.

STA: *sheds his skin, revealing he is a Manticore*

STA: You are surprised and raped by a STA! The STA slowly devours your insides with his tentacles!

Crono: …

Magus: He’s right, we have no time to wait for her. Attack!

*The fight wages on for minutes, but in a effort to slightly shorten your reading time, let’s just cut to the conclusion*

Ocelot: Haha! You think you can take down me and the Snubs? We are going to rule the world!

Crono: …

Magus: He’s right, we only have one opt-

*A loud howl is heard from above, everyone is silenced by it*

Inviso: Not so fast, Magus. I have come to free the Innocent One! Me, along with my army of furries will take what is rightfully ours, and we will go through anyone who gets in out way. Furries, attack!

Spoon: Not so fast, Inviso. I have come to take you and your furries down with my army of cat-girls! Come, my beauties, attack!

Yugi: NOT SO FAST, KAIBA! YOU’VE ACTIVATED MY TRAP, A COSTLY MISTAKE!

Outback: Will someone turn that TV down? Geez, Yu-Gi-Oh sucks…

Magus: Oh great, now we have to stop the armies of furries and cat-girls as well.

Peter Griffin: Dude, do those animals have boobs? Aww, sick.

*A wild CjayC appears*

CJayC: So…it has come to this. The only way to end the chaos is…to summon the Champions.

Random n00b: BUT CEEJ, IF J00 PUT THE CHAMPZ EN TAT MAKES THE CONTEST PREDICTIBULZ!!11!!11!1shift!!2!

CJayC: *takes a flashlight and shines it in the sky* *the light is shaped like a trophy*

*In some other part of the world, Link Cloud and Seph are all chilling in their Champ Cave.*

Link: *looks out the window* Hey guys, the Champ signal!

Cloud: Quick! To the Champmobile!

*they begin to run to the car*

Seph: Hold on…Sorry San Antonio Spurs, we can handle this one.

Spurs: Awww…*pouts*

Seph: NOW we go to the Champmobile.

*cue Batman transition scene*

*Back at the stadium, Ocelot and the Snubs are still owning everything. The characters couldn’t stop them, Arwings and other vehicles of destruction couldn’t stop them, not even Red XII and his band of bad trolls could stop them*

Red: Stop! Or I’ll haxxorz the poll and kill you!

*All hope seemed lost, until…*

Link: Have no fear, the champs are here!

*Link takes out the army of furries in one hit, while Cloud takes out the cat-girls.*

Inviso and Spoon: Aww…*cries*

Seph: Alright Ocelot, I’m going to take you down! *Seph draws his masamune*

Ocelot: Back off! *Ocelot knocks the masamune out of Seph’s hands, where it flies over to Aeris and strikes her. The sword cuts through her flesh, killing her instantly.*

Crowd: O_O!

Aga: Aeris Dies!

Moltar: Oh my God, they killed Aeris!

The JP: YOU BASTARDS! *commits seppuku*

Crowd: …..*cheers*

Link: If we’re going to beat these guys, we’re going to have to combine into our ultimate form.

Cloud: You mean…

Seph: Yep…

Pac-Man: Wakka!

Clinkeroth: Your welcome, Pac-Man. Now we must depart. But before we go… *Clinkeroth raises his sword and everything is restored, well, at least the arena is. Most of the crowd and competitors are still dead.*

Soul: Back with the match! *Makes love to Christian*

*Pac-Man charges at the weakened Ocelot, but faints before he can reach him*

God: Hello Pac-Man.

Pac-Man: Wakka?

God: You died because of bullet posioning.

Pac-Man: :(

SSBM Announcer: THIS GAMES WINNER IS, OCELOT!

Ocelot: …I’m done with this bull****.

Moltar: And that concludes the match between Ocelot and Pac-Man. Ocelot has won and moves on to Round 2.

*Ulti’s pod crashes near Moltar, and he jumps out and no-sells his injuries*

Ulti: I predicted that…*faints*

*The scene fades out with random breakdancing, because no one expects random breakdancers.*

Moltar’s Bracket Says: Ocelot will win.

Moltar’s Prediction is:Ocelot: 54% - Pac-Man: 46%



Ulti’s Analysis

(Special note from Ulti: due to me having to take care of a bunch of wedding stuff, my analyses are going to be very lax and short until the end of August, possibly even later. Sorry in advance.)

(Special note from Moltar: Who are the Patriots?)

Another Pac Man match, another huge pic advantage for him. Yet somehow, I don't think he'll do that well anyway. Call it a hunch.

Prediction: Ocelot with 59.36%



Soul’s Analysis

My bracket says Ocelot. My heart says Pac-Man. My heart has been wrong on many occasions. My bracket has been dead since the second match. Tough decision? You betcha.

Ok, Pac-Man has a better picture (surprisingly), so he could get more votes that way. Ocelot is involved in the MGS universe in some way and has participated in the Spring Contest. Let's forget that, since it creates more problems then it does answers. Pac-Man got 49% on Lettuce Kefka. Ocelot got 34% on Bowser. Hmm... still a tough choice.

Bracket voters would tend to go with Ocelot, I believe. He should get a chunk of votes from there... You know what, I'm calling it. Ocelot wins.

My prediction: Ocelot wins with 54.64% of the vote. Round 2 is up next! Awesome.



Outback’s Analysis

Big Boss has shown us that, outside of people with "Snake" in their name, MGS really doesn't have much strength. Ocelot's subpar showing in SpC2k5 really didn't impress either. Ocelot won't struggle with Pac-Man, but he'll keep up the tradition of not impressing. This definitely will not be a doubling.

Ocelot with 58.67%

Inviso’s Analysis

This it the final match of the first round, between a ball with a mouth, and the hand gesture. That’s right…the hand gesture. Ocelot avoided being doubled by Bowser in the Spring Contest, a feat in and of itself for any MGS character other than Solid Snake. He beat on Nemesis and Dr. Wily, Wily, a character from Megaman, which has proven to be a stronger force here at Gamefaqs than Metal Gear Solid. Pacman on the other hand has been on the decline for the past 3 years. Pacman performed rather badly against two unknowns…Goemon and Kyo Kusanagi, before being beaten by Scorpion. Things got worse in 2003, when he lost to Kefka, and became a way of showing how bad Kefka really does in these contests. And just last year, he received the lower seed in a match and was obliterated by Luigi. Pacman has fallen, and will not get up. I’m surprised he even made this contest, since Lara Croft and Scorpion didn’t return. Ocelot wins to end the first round.

My Bracket: Revolver Ocelot
My Vote: Revolver Ocelot
My Prediction: Revolver Ocelot with 56.27%



Tnote’s Analysis

One hand gestures, one consumes ‘power’ pills to eat ‘ghosts.’ How anyone could possibly take a commy gunslinger over the original drug fiend is ludicrous, but I have no doubts that 52.83% of the clowns that vote will pick Snake’s adversary over the real gaming icon.



Vlado’s Analysis

The last match of the first round... It was a fun first half of the contest, wasn't it? I already feel sad, as the contest will end sooner than you can imagine. Time flies... Anyway, some people, for some reason, think this will be close. Some even have Pac-Man winning... Well, in short, I don't think he stands any chance. The fact that he did make the contest again is impressive by itself, but, by now, it must be clear to everyone that he'll more than likely never be able to win a match again.

After a pretty successful first contest, where he made it to the Sweet 16, Pac-Man has dropped significantly and not even the huge bracket support could help him beat Kefka in the FFVI villain's weakest year in the contest. Last year, Pac-Man completely established himself as fodder, getting doubled by Luigi, one of the weakest Nintendo characters in the contest. He'll more than likely be around his 2003 and 2004 level now, which won't allow him to give Ocelot any trouble.

I was quite happy to see Revolver Ocelot win two matches in the spring contest and make it to the Elite Eight, before inevitably losing to Bowser. It's a solid fact - Metal Gear characters are strong here. I'm quite sure that Ocelot would have even beaten Diablo, had the two met in the spring, despite the stats claiming otherwise. I think that the villain contest will only have helped him and that he will perform even better this time, though I don't think it will be enough for him to beat Yoshi, seeing as Nintendo has been getting a huge support so far this summer.

Predicted percentage: Revolver Ocelot with 69.24%.

Uhhh, find a way to use Yoshi to explain Luigi's performance against KOS-MOS.

There's just no way. It's like Luigi's become the king of round 1 overkill.

Oh, and someone has to suggest to CJayC to put up a joke pic a few days before the match featuring Luigi's head vs. Tifa's ginormous jigglies. Of course it'd get changed, but the reaction would be priceless.

Simple math tells us Ocelot would win with 66.42%. I just assumed that he'll have gotten a little stronger since the spring, and Pac-Man a little weaker. That's all.

Time for some stat manipulation: if Bowser Sp2k5 is adjusted to 2k3 levels (against Link), and if Luigi and KOS-MOS remained constant from 2k4 to 2k5, then Pac-Man is projected to beat Ocelot tomorrow with 50.89% of the vote.

And now I'm almost starting to half-expect waking up tommorrow to see Pac-Man winning by less than 50%

WTF? O____O Was that intentional?

oh, and for the record, or whatever, i say that Yoshi will have 89% of the brackets and Ocelot will beat Pac-Man with about 60% of the votes.

How can BOTH Luigi and KOS-MOS stay constant, anyway?

And it's pretty hopeless if a best-case scenario doesn't have Pac-Man with even 51%.

So KOS-MOS would suddenly plummet to the level of Pac-Man despite having a new game out, which should have at least kept her constant?

And Luigi would explode to near-elite levels with a mere apparition in PM2, apparition that was pretty lame to boot?

Heh, writing it as Luigi and KOS-MOS both staying constant was a little misleading...I kept KOS-MOS's extrapolated value the same, and ignored all extrapolated values for Luigi, because KOS-MOS is the only one that we got an accurate reading on last year.

Either way, I hear XS2 made FFX-2 look, for lack of a more appropriate term, "disasterrific". I've seen people say it was such a train wreck Albedo couldn't salvage it.

Kinda like Bowser in SMRP*gets shot*

Yeah XS2 was....not good, to say the least. The only thing good about XS2 was that Albedo's character gets developed in it.

I like XS2 more than 1. it's barely any different - I don't understand why people don't like it besides the fact that the game is harder.

Luigi was actually hilarious in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga... not saying that would boost him up or anything. Just something for those that believe in minor appearance boosting up a characters popularity to bite on...

I said PM2, not M&L... which bored me to tears anyway, never finished it. My bro did, though, and he says Luigi's awesome in there. I'll take his word for it, because Luigi owns.

Let's not forget that we haven't had a clean X-Stat reading on Pac-Man since 2002. He was underrated in 2003 through Kefka, and last year he suffered from Luigi/Yoshi and Yoshi/Link. It's more than possible that he's not far off from that original 20.30% score in 2k2, if you assume that he'd still have a tight match with Kefka...the only problem here would be that Pac-Man around 20% would make Luigi appear to be some sort of beast, but we're going to have that problem anyway because of what he did to KOS-MOS.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with Vlado's pick at all. I too think that Ocelot is being underestimated.

Moltar, that was god damn hilarious.

I just shelled out $19.99 for Sonic Adventure 2: Battle thanks to FourthDeus telling me that it's the best Sonic game (or best 3D Sonic game, I don't remember). Was it worth it?

I think Luigi SFFed Pac-Man to a degree. All Pac-Man has going for him is old-school appeal. Luigi has that and so much more. What point is there to vote for Pac-Man?

I know about how underrated Pac-Man might be. I was just pointing out that KOS-MOS would not plummet to Pac-Man's 2k4 value. This suggests that Luigi may have overperformed in both matches.
