Tingle is set to be the shock of the contest!

Nidoran F would beat Tingle.

Damned Z1mZum, beating me by one point. I'm gonna be pissed if Toadette makes 2k6 and Mewtwo doesn't.
Gomu gomu nooooooooo Pistol!

But I think this is an overrated factor. Just being in Zelda isn't going to bring him any measure of strength. It's only worth so much.


Its funny how not too long ago, this was the same argument FF7 characters were getting. Now Zelda has taken that spot.

This was an argument back in the days when people were saying Epona wouldn't be fodder because she's from Zelda.

Epona probably would beat Tingle.

Now Tingle vs. Navi, there's a brain-buster.

That's a bit extreme. A horse would beat no one.

Also, I'm saying right now... if Meta-Knight and Kazooie are not 7 seeds I will be super upset.

For one, the Nidos are very popular Pokemon, so they aren't gonna get anti-voted. The most diehard Zelda fans still hate Tingle. When voters are faced with that decision, Nidoran F would win.

Navi would be the weakest character ever because she's always there and she's always annoying. Tingle is at least minor and in the less popular Zeldas, he's not nearly as in your face.

Navi flat out sucks.

If voters misread Tingle as "Tinkle" he could get the "tee-hee, his name is Tinkle, tee-hee!" vote.

...Honestly though, I'd be disgusted if he breaks 15% on one of the legitimate one seeds. Sora, on the other hand...

Team Rocket Elite | Posted 8/18/2006 10:01:38 PM | message detail
You know there's no guarentee that Navi and Epona aren't in this contest. If Tingle got into the male bracket, Navi and Epona have a great shot at the female side.

Nominations were linked to in the results page for Zelda vs FF. How much effect do you guys think this had on getting Zelda and FF characters into the contest?

I got pwnt by Z1mZum in the July 2006 Guru Contest.

LessThan3Presea | Posted 8/18/2006 10:02:28 PM | message detail
Probably had a decent effect. Half of the females bracket will probably be Square chicks.

When voters are faced with that decision, Nidoran F would win.

If by "win," you mean "lose horribly," of course. Nidoran F is going to be far worse off than Tingle.

Meh, I only post because it freaks everybody out. I'm sure there's some doujinshi of her out there that's actually frightening.

Kid could get in, which is really the only female of worth from CC.

Maybe, maybe not. Assuming that those seeds are locked, but their positioning isn't, that gives N-F a 1/4 shot at taking on Samus round 1.

And we know what happens when Samus runs into SFF... >_>

(But seriously, Nidoran F counts and Jay Solano doesn't? What the spoon, Ceej?)

Are you sure? I thought there was this huge uproar about a week ago when someone (Ulti?) let slip that JS wasn't going to be allowed. Granted, Ceej's topic makes it sound like he didn't get the nominations anyway, but it's more in how the bloody spoon Nidoran F counts as a unique character. At least Pika has Yellow and the anime/manga to draw on.

Mario vs Crono | Posted 8/18/2006 10:32:14 PM | message detail
I don't think anybody has mentioned it yet, but it looks like Crono has a tough road ahead for another shot at taking on Mario. I know it was mentioned a lot in 2k5, but this will probably be the first year without a Mario vs Crono battle.

2005: Mario | 55739 | 53.85% | Crono | 47762 | 46.15% | lead of 7977 |

I wasn't here last week, I wouldn't know.

But it doesn't matter either way if he was disallowed. It's good to have Nidoran F ;>_>

I think the whole "rivalry" thing between the two has just about run its course. Crono has only one once in their entire history; he doesn't look to win anytime soon either.

I suppose for the whole "tradition" thing it might be an issue, but for an actual match-up, it's not really a big loss. That said, Crono's looking pretty nice as far as the male bracket goes.

There was. Nidoran F and Midgar Zolom were also supposedly banned. However, Nidoran F is currently in the bracket so it seems CJayC changed his mind. It seems any character can get in as long as they are a character and they get enough noms.
