Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 528

(But how the heck is BB beating Fox?)

This is the early vote, the pic factor isn't NEARLY as apparent. We follow the contest, we know who BB is.

Samus 2K5 is horribly underrated, and is indirectly stronger than Mario. KHF sucks and never existed either, much like my package.

From Lieutenant Kettch
I could actually see Sephy rising as far as last round. We're replacing 3 Nintendo characters with 2 Nintendo characters and Big Boss who'll die off soon enough.

No, that won't happen, but he'll get 45% at least.

Can't see Sephiroth rising nearly that high this round. It may be two Nintendo characters, but one of them is Mario. Probably a good bet to put him around 45% by the end, which looks like right around expectations.

I would have voted for Mario, but Fox needed support to look less like crap.

Mario gets my vote next round unless Zero's there.

I meant rise the same amount (10% or so), not rise to the same percentage. I think he could go for 47ish.

Cloud gained 5.3% from this point to the end of his match. Assuming Seph makes about 75% of that gain, he should get around 44%.

Anyway, seeing as how this thing is over and we're in for 24 hours of quiet time before the good stuff, I figure I'd post my Best Fictional Character for you guys to predict. This is what I'm hoping we see within the next 12 months, either right before or after another Games Contest. If we make a good enough case for it to Bacon, I really can't see why he won't do it.


The Death Star
(1)Darth Vader vs. (16)Space Ghost
(8)The Hulk vs. (9)John Rambo
(5)Bugs Bunny vs. (12)Peter Griffin
(4)Mickey Mouse vs. (13)Pikachu
(6)Harry Potter vs. (11)Count Dracula
(3)Sephiroth vs. (14)Rogue
(7)Indiana Jones vs. (10)Hercules
(2)Wolverine vs. (15)Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Hyrule
(1)Link vs. (16)Ariel
(8)Stewie Griffin vs. (9)C. Montgomery Burns
(5)James Bond vs. (12)Zorro
(4)Master Chief vs. (13)The Terminator
(6)Luke Skywalker vs. (11)Tifa Lockheart
(3)Superman vs. (14)Sherlock Holmes
(7)Samus Aran vs. (10)Crono
(2)Cloud Strife vs. (15)Captain Jean-Luc Picard

New York, New York
(1)Spider-Man vs. (16)The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
(8)Rocky Balboa vs. (9)Captain Jack Sparrow
(5)Bart Simpson vs. (12)Wonder Woman
(4)Han Solo vs. (13)Hannibal Lecter
(6)Eric Cartman vs. (11)Gambit
(3)Obi-Wan Kenobi vs. (14)Bender Rodriguez
(7)Goku vs. (10)Magneto
(2)Homer Simpson vs. (15)Phillip J. Fry

Gotham City
(1)Batman vs. (16)Tanner
(8)Walker, Texas Ranger vs. (9)Jack Bauer
(5)Captain America vs. (12)Aragorn
(4)Sonic the Hedgehog vs. (13)Vegeta
(6)Mega Man vs. (11)Storm
(3)Mario vs. (14)Catwoman
(7)Gandalf vs. (10)The Joker
(2)Solid Snake vs. (15)Al Bundy


I wanted the bracket to represent a truly eclectic list of characters, so I limited the gaming characters to the Noble Nine, a few beatable representatives, and Tanner (because I think Batman might potentially out-Snake Snake against him). You'll notice that characters originating from comics, cartoons, and movies have pretty equal representation when compared to their gaming buddies. Also, if the gaming characters seem a bit bunched up in some areas of the bracket, just know that that was intentional on my part. There's always the possibility that the Noble 9 would tear through this thing, so I wanted to confine them a bit.

At this point Cloud gained 4.4% and he was also rising a lot faster than Sephiroth currently is. 45% seems pretty farfetched to me

I hope Square-Enix goes out of business tomorrow, crushing all hopes of a FF7 remake. Sephiroth is eventually kicked out of Clinkeroth and replaced by Mega Man when he gets into Brawl and has his own Metroid-style FPS that gets a multi-console release. Zero also guest stars and starts beating Sonic and Snake.

Okay, what happened to Lopen while I was gone?

And I think Bacon might not do a fictional character contest, seeing as this is a video game website. (Link would probably just win again anyway.)

mario looked intently at bowser with a burning passion in his eyes, if only he could reach the key on the other side of the bridge he could save his beloved princess toadstool.

bowser snorted an evil snort as he slowly began to breathe in

quickly, mario saw the opportunity to make his move and began taking his overalls...

"WHO WANTS SUM"

bowser jumped in the pit of hellfire below at the sight

mario wins

the end

I don't think it's out of question that Sephiroth gets near 44%. He's nearly got 41% during the power hour with Mario in the poll. Pretty good start, if you ask me.

Cloud was also against Ocelot, Jill, Kefka and Ryu, 4 of the worst day vote characters in contest history. Granted, Big Boss is guarenteed to have an epicly bad day vote with that picture, but he doesn't have enough percent to donate here.

Actually... Mario is probably better with the first hour than any of Cloud's opponents.

Especially due to rallying, yeah. 44-45% is probably where he'll end up, I guess.

I'm wondering where Big Boss will end up, actually; right now it looks like his pic isn't hurting him much, but that could just be the crazy first hour.
