The Board 8 BOP - http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB6%20BOP.xls
Match 4: Midna > Scorpion Points: 12/12
Haste_2 | Posted 9/6/2007 8:42:28 AM | message detail
Using an adjusted 47 through 2k4 Sora puts him at 16.93 on BL, for those who are wondering. This is probably still an improvement relative to that (implying that 47 boosted or that Sora 2k5 is underrated through this method). It also puts him about equal to Lloyd Irving, for what that's worth.

Yes, indeed, but another thing that's slightly "surprising" about Agent 47's performance is that Sora's supposed to underperform against fodder (i.e. non-linear anti-voting). If this poll means anything and that Agent 47 hasn't gotten too much stronger, that suggests Sora does in fact tend to be linear. And that leads to two other characters: Tingle and HK-47. Suddenly you can't blame Sora anti-votes for their "too high" of x-stat values (except for Mega Man's division being rated too high for Tingle, but even after accounting for that...), and now HK-47 just might deserve to be the favorite over not only Lloyd, but possibly Jak, too. And, that could suggest favors for Tingle over Mudkip and Pit.

I know I'm reading into it too much for such a tiny thing, but hey... something to think about a little. =P

Oh no, Haste. I fully expect Tingle to blow Mudkip and Pit out of the water because the Zelda fans actually CARE about him.

Oh, he is in that part? Yeah, he should be fine.

I'm still upset that I'll lose even more points with Marcus not coming in first tomorrow. =/
HaRRicH | Posted 9/6/2007 8:45:43 AM | message detail
I never really bought Sora over-rating other characters due to anti-votes...never really bought it for Mario either. Maybe I'm just a skeptic, but it's hard for me to believe I've seen lots of anti-votes come into much effect anywhere outside of Pikachu, Master Chief, and Sephiroth's run in the Villain Contest.

I just find it ironic that this poll makes Tingle look better, yet it makes Midna look worse (only naturally, because she's disappointing here).

Mudkip could still take it with rallying, but Pit has no chance at all.

Heroic_Maechen | Posted 9/6/2007 8:55:50 AM | message detail
I went and checked my bracket and I have Scorpion>Midna this round but Samus>Midna next round. WHAT WAS I, DRUNK?


Also, I am starting to regret Mudkip>Tingle.

A.Scorpion is over performing like nobodies business.
B.For a new character who is only in one game and is not the "main" character, Midna is not doing so bad.
C.Midna is getting slightly SFF'd by Kratos and is still doing average


The Zelda vote is powerful, hopefully the fad/pokemon/nintendo vote can outdo the Zelda one.

Don't look now, but Agent 47 just took a 20 vote bite out of Kratos's lead.

Could we have another comeback on our hands?*


*I'm being sarcastic/hyperbolic. If 47 starts coming back, I'm fully aware that he most likely would not pull anything off.

With Scorpion looking good, I really think we're primed for ANOTHER epic. With Samus' SFF record, I don't think you can count Midna ENTIRELY out (though her slight bomb today certainly hinders that)

I still think Tingle going through is a pretty rudimentary pick. Pit would be fodder before Brawl, and all he has at present is a trailer or two and the site itself, and Mudkip is a fad. A BIG fad, but a fad nonetheless. It might be good enough for Bidoof but in this scenario I don't think it's enough to put him over Tingle. As odd as that might sound.

I really really doubt this is Scorpion overperforming. Subzero showed that he, and Mortal Kombat, have a strong backing, specially with their newest game being one year old. Really shouldn't be surprising at all he's this strong.


...Of course, if he IS overperforming, that'd help out my Samus > Frog next round...

Wait, so you were saying it is good enough for FAD Bidoof to beat Miles and Agent J in the presence of Link, but not enough for FAD Mudkip (which is over 9000 times worse than Bidoof) to beat Little Mac and Tingle in the presence of Luigi? Sure Luigi and Link will win thanks to the Nintendo votes, however, just like Midna, not much Zelda fans will vote for some side-kick characters it seems...

I'm sure Pit and Tingle are going to be a lot stronger than Edgey and Agent J. Which is a shame but that's just how it goes. Switch Bidoof and Mudkip around and probably it's Mudkip prgressing rather than Bidoof.

And Link gonna take at least 3/4 of the votals, so the other 3 will fight for a ~10% to win, whereas Luigi may only take 50-60%.
