He can Dent Seph, he just cant beat him.

Brawl and 4 Might be able to power him up to beat Mr Shank, but its still doubtfull what with Sephy getting more games.

Guru with the stats topic regs might be a cool idea. I think it'd be more entertaining than competing with a bunch of people I haven't even heard of.

I think you mean more entertaining to lose to people you know rather than people you've never heard of.

Hi
transience | Posted 8/1/2007 11:35:24 PM | message detail
I think that was the original idea.. but then it turned into a board-wide contest. (which is cool -- I love the work Lt. Kettch does with eliminations and the effort N puts into his website)

but as far as competing goes? I like competing with people that I know, not a huge mishmash of users that I only kind of know. call me elitist - I am when it comes to contests - but that's how I roll.

I wouldn't mind a Guru with just stats topic regs, by the way. I love competing with my fellow elitist dorks!

Problem with that is deciding who counts as a reg and who doesn't. That's something that would get messy real fast.

yup. I'll sign up for the Guru just like I do every contest. I was talking hypothetically - it's just fun to compete with the people you spend so much time arguing with.

With 15 nominations, you'd better believe I'm nominating Toad.

For now I've only nominated the 5 I've pledged, though. Raiden, Mewtwo, Nightmare, Wario, and Terry Bogard.

Lopen | Posted 8/2/2007 12:08:32 AM | message detail
So I'm sure it's been speculated as to what the "twist" will be to death... but I'm thinking it has something to do with more entrants. Teams or a three way bracket could be... or it could just be a bigger bracket. I'm not sure which I'd rather have, honestly.

The three way/team bracket would be way harder to predict... but would it be a good thing? Traditional matches still have some appeal, man!

Eh, who knows. Whee, look at me giddily spam the topic!

Lopen is bye bye. Now is ninja time.
Lopen | Posted 8/2/2007 12:10:32 AM | message detail
I totally do want to! He's all but assured for one of those last 9 spaces, actually, since we're getting more nominations this time.

Man, if only X-Death had a snowball's chance in hell at getting in. I'd like to see what RAW FF5 POWER is.

Man, Axel Steel? Grim Ripper is where it's at. Or Pandora, or Judy Nails.

X-Death beats them all, of course. Though I'm now somewhat tempted to nominate a Guitar Hero character.

There's only one thing I'm concerned about at this point: If it's a regular character contest, Clinkeroth had BETTER not get involved with the main bracket.

RydiaOfTheMist | Posted 8/2/2007 3:34:36 AM | message detail
Well at least we got our nominations going in now. Have to say Wario was a good choice for the guru. Of the characters I want, in Rydia is up there with no chance of course. If she couldnt make a 32 chracter female all hope was lost but I will support Rydia til the end. FF4 is being remade for DS maybe that will be the catalyst right? LOL. Anyway I've put my nom in for Wario (Osfan) and heres to another contest!

Rydia: It's not yours!
Edge: That's okay it would be happy to be used by us!

lol x-death



If, by chance, this is a bigger bracket than our usual contest...there's a good chance we'll see Super Mario Galaxy out by the end of it. Hell, if it's a 128-bracket, we'll see SSBB out by then too.

Just saying, we might see some magic towards the end if this bracket gets too big.
