Because Pikachu represents all that is evil with regards to Pokemon.

And I associate him with Ash, which is a major downer. <_<;

Upper midcarder is past MEWTWO. Let's not get carried away here.

I thought upper mid-carder was like, Rikku/Yuna/Sub-Zero.

An upper-midcarder is someone like... Leon Kennedy. Or Knuckles. Mewtwo (and certainly not POKEMON TRAINER) ain't up there.

Anyone know what Bidoofs chances of beating Zelda are next round if 4chan rallies enough support? If Link can SFF her as hard as he did Ganondorf its not THAT unfeasible...

Can't think of a good sig.
Mumei | Posted 9/15/2007 4:17:06 PM | message detail
I was thinking Mewtwo could be Rikku level (~45% on Ryu in a one-on-one). Isn't that good enough for be upper-midcarder?

It doesn't particularly matter to me.

Bidoof dies next round, regardless - though it will be amusing to see them try.

I see Bidoof getting about the same amount of votes next round as this round. However, he won't be up against such crap, so that'll probably be him gone.
Karma Hunter | Posted 9/15/2007 4:19:44 PM | message detail
I anticipate Bidoof to beat Zelda regardless of rallying. It's not... that hard (and kind of pointless, seeing as how Vincent's easily advancing).

And Rikku's not an upper-midcarder. That's more like... Ryu, actually.

I was thinking of Ryu as a near-elite, I guess.

Pretty good regardless of rallying. Link made Ganondorf look worse than CATS. Zelda probably won't fare much better.

Near-elite is Vincent, Zelda, Ganondorf, Auron, Squall, etc. level... if you think Ryu has a chance against that kind of competition that's your opinion, but I personally think he'd be easily dispatched.

Yeah, it's really hard to look like Tanner-level fodder. Heck, I bet Tanner wouldn't look like Tanner-level fodder if he went up against Link.

Is Agent J going to be the bottom character in this contest?

Link vs Tanner would be a fun match, 99% for Link anyone?

Karma Hunter | Posted 9/15/2007 4:36:39 PM | message detail
No, that's exactly the point why Tanner wouldn't look like Tanner-level fodder. Firstly, Link gets anti-voted - many popular characters do to an extent, but being the long-running-winning-every-time-but-one-which-many-don't-even-count Champion always gives Link a decent amount of anti-votes he can't avoid (I know I anti-vote Link in all his matches). Then there's joke votes, the fact that we've got such high votals these days, and simply how ungodly difficult it is to get into the 90s, let alone the virtual impossibility of 99%...

...put it this way, in a one-on-one match Link would be VERY hard pressed to get 90% on Agent J despite how badly he's doing here. By pure stats, Tanner would probably look a world better than he did through 2004 extrapolation.

Yeah, it's no coincidence that the second lowest character in the stats was blown out by by a guy that got *really* blown out by Mega Man. Clinkeroth is probably the best set of characters for really bad fodder to face.

No, Snake wouldn't have a prayer of 70% here. But even if J managed 8% against Snake, if Snake gets ~15% in his match with Link, J probably looks worse than here.

Ama ain't ending up in the very bottom of the stats. He's not gonna be very high, but Okami's got more respect here than that to be compared with Agent J or Haseo.

Also, since 70% was brought up, Link's now officially over 70% and I really doubt he's ever looking back on it this match.

greatone10 | Posted 9/15/2007 5:11:06 PM | message detail
Tanner is one of those situations I don't think will ever happen again. Tanner was a character who needed a company cap and his game coming out during the nomination period just to make it in. Then, by the time his match happened, people realized how crappy Driv3r was and traded it in/returned it to Blockbuster and totally forgot about it. Then, he drew fellow action game star Solid Snake, which threw in a bit of SFF there as well. Combine all of that with the low votals of the 2004 contest and you have the fodderest fodder that ever foddered.

I've never even PLAYED Okami. It's got nothing to do with that, though of course, I'd halfway expect you to say something like that. I'm just stating that she won't come in last there.

It's not anything like PW or ToS in that regard...consider it more like SotC by your examples, where it's more highly regarded outside of GameFAQs. Not that its sales are great or that Ammy's gonna do well, but it's not a B8-fad.

Lady Ashe | Posted 9/15/2007 5:23:42 PM | message detail
Here is my theory for that match that I totally expect to be made fun of for. =/

Dante --> Link.
Matt --> Bidoof.
Ammy --> Edgeworth.
Little Mac --> Agent J.

I don't expect Little Mac to be nearly as bad as Agent J, but I'm still not really feeling that he has a shot. D:

And before anyone says "Yeah, Dante is totally going to have the same effect here as Link. Gotcha." in a sarcastic tone, you might want to think about the fact that Dante being weaker just hurts Ammy even more, in the same way it is hurting Edgeworth right now.

Well, I'm voting Matt anyway. It's either him or Little Mac for me, and it took me far too long to get into Punch-Out...plus Matt's in my bracket.

Not that I feel great about it, but hey, we'll see what happens. There's probably more people on GameFAQs who have played Wii Sports than people who played a DMC game/PO/Okami. I know that doesn't relate to strength at all, but it's something I can hang on until the match comes.

Nobody cares enough about a Mii to joke vote it.
