Master Chief vs. Sub-Zero / Bracket: Sub-Zero / Vote: Sub-Zero (29/31)
Tomorrow / Bracket: Samus / Vote: Samus
ChichiriMuyo | Posted 10/13/2006 9:09:12 PM | message detail
1. Sub-Zero over Master Chief: 20.27%
2. StarCraft over Halo: 24.09%
3. Castlevania over Halo: 31.49%

Pretty solid trend there, never count on Halo winning the unloseable match. It even made the hat trick of being the most miserable of failures in characters, games, and series'. Chumpstains.

That said... Go go Nidoran F! Just the idea that she'd be beating Ada if she were here today puts a huge smile on my face. I mean, sure, I suspect some level of rSFF and would likely still back Ada, but even the thought makes me happy.

1. Sub-Zero over Master Chief: 20.27%

And despite this, a perfect manages to live...

Still, it's funny that Halo dominates the top 3 on that list.

Well Pokemon just plain has SOME strength, you put any generic pokemon in there and you probably get the same number. And honestly I don't even know which one would do the best anymore but I guess Mewtwo is as good as any.

I'm a little too tipsy to do the calculations right now, but using Samus 2k5 and assuming she ends this at 79%, where does that put Jade on BL?

Wow, only 20% had Sub-Zero? Wow, the bracket makers must REALLY not care for Mortal Kombat. Sub-Zero got no respect. I admit I took Master Chief, but I struggled with it until brackets closed. I just chose to be conservative.

do you guys realize that if Ada finishes with 20%, Jade is expected to get 9.64% against Samus? OUCH. that's like Serious Sam stone levels of suckitude.

on the 2K5 x-stats Jade sits at 6.70% on Base Link

and the adjusted 2K5 x-stats put Jade at 8.04% on Base Link.

Daisy was extremely SFF'ed so she probably won't end up looking that bad in the end.

Jade vs. Tanner vs. Alyx Vance

I'll take Jade still. Alyx would've gotten Lara anti-votes, so she's probably even lower then what the stats indicate.

Seeing as how approximately half the posters that day were posting complaining that they thought it was MK Jade, probably !!

Daisy was extremely SFF'ed so she probably won't end up looking that bad in the end.

But there's no adjusting her.

so basically, Jade could beat Tanner, Mr. Driller, Ms. Pac-Man, Serious Sam Stone and MAYBE Dirk the Daring. yeesh, this looks bad.

i'm starting to think that the Great Nintendo Boost may still be in effect and that only Kirby and Bowser were overrated last year. i mean, look at the other Nintendo characters:

Samus - is destroying Ada
Peach - SFF'd Daisy (new character)
Zelda - completely destroyed Carmen Sandiego
Yoshi - beat Riku who most likely boosted from KH2
Tingle - did respectable against Sora, who most likely boosted from KH2
Luigi - easily defeated Zero
Ganondorf - narrowly lost to Vincent, who most likely boosted from FF&:AC and DofC.

Nintendo just might be as dominant as ever! this match certainly restores a small bit of faith in Yoshi and Vincent!

Whoa, it's kinda early to be saying there's another Nintendo boost. People forgot that Samus is a beast since she got SFF'd by Mario. And this is still Ada Wong. It's the second round of a GameFAQs character battle and Samus is facing Ada Wong. I like Ada and all, but she doesn't deserve to be in the second round of a contest. Samus killed Lara Croft and Sam Fisher like this in 2k4. I really wouldn't expect Ada to be stronger than those two...

Eh Samus and Zelda can blow out all the fodder they want it doesn't prove much to me. It's just that damn Luigi who stands out.

We need to get Sub-Zero in again next year.


And Scorpion too. And Reptile. Hell, let's nominate the whole palette + Johnny Cage and Raiden. (Let's see the whole palette would be... Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Reptile, Noob, Smoke, Ermac, Rain, and Chameleon. I think that's all of them... so that would be a full nomination list of MK characters ^_^)

I'm still throwing a flag up for Luigi/Zero. I may stand on an island by myself though. I'm hoping that Kirby doesn't beat Luigi so that we can see Luigi stand up to Sonic without SFF being able to take the blame. Plus I want to see how Mega Man ends up.

I ain't calling another Nintendo boost based on fodder blowouts, especially when Nintendo has failed to impress more than they have. If there is a match this round that could convince me of anything, it'll be...Sonic/Vincent, actually. If Vincent gives him a scare, I'll be much more impressed with the -dorf.

Vincent should give Sonic a nice run in that match. I would imagine it'd be around 48% or so.

#437 heh, the board is reminding me of why MC is nonlinear. if someone of similar strength to MC was losing, there wouldn't be much whining at all. but do it with Master Chief and it's antivoting and haters and jealousy and who knows what other excuse people will come up with!


See, the problem with Master Chief is that it IS antivoting and haters. For some reason, a large chunk of this site's userbase has an irrational, and frankly confusing disdain for anything remotely mainstream. If Nintendo ends up winning the next-gen console war, expect there to be alot less of the "Nintendrones" on this site as they all shift to the "indie" PS3 camp.

Samus kicking ass here. it's nice to see Samus look good for the first time in over a year. I was a little concerned, not to mention Leon looking so good a few days ago. makes me wonder about Bowser, even though it shouldn't.
