Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 223
From: ChichiriMuyo | Posted: 8/29/2005 3:24:53 AM | Message Detail
Boring, but comforting. There's a great deal of solace involved with seeing this match play out pretty much how we'd have always expected it to. After having to listen to so many poorly formed argmuents stating that the Xstats "r teh phail" it's nice to have some things go down like they should. Like, say... yesterday.

Crono under 71%. I would love it if Vercetti dipped him under a doubling. Almost no chance of it happening, but I would love it.

Yeah, not happening. Crono lobbed the poor bum's head off before he thought of looking for the Mac-10.

I was thinking the same thing. a calm day is something we haven't had in a week, and I'm liking it.

also, simple matches tend to be more linear and thus are easier to predict.

Right, I need a day for rest before I have to go on and on for thrirty posts on how owned so many of you were (that being in the future) by Vincent. Oh, and the praying I'm going to have to do for Knux>Squall. I have a lot of gods to contact and all.

Knuckles over Magus is the only chance in hell that I have. even then, I have no chance in hell.

therefore, I want Vincent to get creamed just to laugh.

it's not much of an owning if it's expected. if Vincent beats Crono, then an owning shall occur.

yeah, all of about 3 people out of 50. I don't think I've ever seen a character as popular to the stats topic as Vincent.

I'm afraid I have to say you're just blind, then. Vincent is by no means a favorite in this topic. Yes, most have seen the light and realize he isn't weak but many of those do so quite begrudgingly. Other than HM and myself, I can't recall anyone outright calling him one of their favorite characters.

If you insist "Solid ****" made a difference... (Regarding: Snake vs. Bowser)
From: lettuce Kefka | Posted: 8/29/2005 12:04:02 PM | Message Detail
Now, I'm sure there some people out there believe Bowser will beat Snake after performing better against Ryu than Snake did. But, a lot of you guys also say that Snake underperformed significantly with the "Solid ****" picture against Frog. Now, Snake also had a "Solid ****" picture against Ryu, now, so surely he should have significantly underperformed there, too. Now, so what looked like Bowser performing better is not necessarily true, if you take that into account.

Now, I don't know if someone else has pointed this out, as I haven't bothered looking. But, I don't really care, if they have, this point needed to be made twice (or more >_>).

ha. the only people who would say that are people that are huge Vincent fans. those same people are the ones who think Vincent is the strongest, too. that always worries me.

looking at today's match, Crono should be falling under 70% soon. this is a nice little way to measure how much SFF occurred between Crono and Kefka.

I gave him a doubling in the Oracle. after seeing Magus and Frog, I kind of expected Crono to underperform a bit.

I still say the MM/Sonic/Tifa winner has a chance at him. we'll see about Vincent.

In the case of Vincent, I expect him to beat Dante. Then he will face the winner of Knuckles/Squall. I still believe that Knux has a CHANCE to win (not saying he will, just the possibility is there). If he does: then I know he will beat Vincent as he will be on a roll.

Seeing Crono's better halves in Magus and Frog doing average then Crono laying the smackdown.

UNJUSTICE.

From: Slowflake | Posted: 8/29/2005 5:39:13 AM | Message Detail
Wow, what a predictable result. Well, at least there's a CT character out there that won't falter... too bad it's just Crono. He better not drop too much with the day vote though (which I guess is going to come later, what with school beginning for many people and all), because the closer he comes to Megaman's percentage, the more difficult it'll be for him later on.

Oh, and pull yer heads outta the sand everyone, Vincent and Tifa ARE dangerous. Jeez, some people here have the attention span of the modern gamer.

From: Sir Crono | Posted: 8/29/2005 5:55:15 AM | Message Detail
This is pretty much what I expected from Crono. I really don't get why anyone was thinking he had taken a drop. Frog and Magus were overrated from the start. It's just too bad we realized it too late (well, didn't particularly matter in Frog's case, as he was a 1 and done regardless). But Crono has repeatedly proven his strength. You don't do what he did against Mario THREE times on a fluke.

Squall Leonhart's Road to the Summer Contest 2005 Championship
Round 2: (3) Mag...Er...(6) Knuckles the Echidna
From: Tediz247 | Posted: 8/29/2005 5:58:57 AM | Message Detail
All the Vincent talk amuses me. A few days before Kerrigan, it was "Vincent will probably beat Dante, but his road likely stops there." Then it was "Vincent definitely beats Dante, and is a threat to win the division." Then, "Vincent isn't touched in this division now that Magus is gone." Now it's gotten all the way to "Vincent takes out Crono and wins the contest." Seriously, stop hyping based off of fodder. I love Kerrigan and it hurts me to see her as fodder, but after everything we've seen I simply can't see her being much stronger than Gordon Freeman, and that's being optimistic. She's in an ensemble cast on a popular PC game. Sound familiar? You're right, it doesn't. Freeman is at least a main character.

Vincent will probably beat Dante, but realistically, I see him having all kinds of problems with Squall.

I don't like him much, but I'd like him to be top 15 at this point, if only because the more strong characters, the better.

yeah, all of about 3 people out of 50. I don't think I've ever seen a character as popular to the stats topic as Vincent.

He seemed rather popular during his first match, though I wouldn't go quite so far.

... Too weak.

Well that depends if Dante increased with DMC3...

If you're generous and bring him to almost 30 on BL after DMC3, then Kerrigan lands around 13.6, CATS level. Eggplant CATS, not face CATS

Static Vincent, using 2K3 value since I'm nice to him isn't much difference. Just over 13. Like, 13.2.

He just has to win it, for the importance fo my bracket. Maybe he has the pic advantage (haven't seen pic yet). And Vincent is not one of the characters you can always play with so not everyone will know him.
