why not misty?

Because Misty is a trophy.

I was looking at old stats topics, and I noticed this one former bracket that Slowflake made:

http://membres.lycos.fr/shindohikaru/stats1.htm (Scroll down to the second post)

Can I just say that I love the bottom part of the South Division? Magus gets exposed as a fraud by almost losing to Yoshi, but then who does he face in the sprite round, but Solid ****? How hilarious would it have been if a "weakened" Magus beat Snake by more than he beat Yoshi?

Tifa - Crono/Megaman,this will prove once and for all the validity of her match vs Samus

Niko - Ness,then we can all go Lol RacistFaqs.

Meta-Knight -hmmm,how about Magus?

Kirby - Dante

CATS - Vyse,I'm sure CATS is above VFL and last year he gets a fourpack he could never get out of but look at link's,Mewtwo also had hell when other fourpacks included Duke Nukem and Gordon Freeman,wait we need CATS vs Gordon Freeman too!

Meta-Knight -hmmm,how about Magus?

i don't really find that interesting. Magus just wins a ho-hum match.

i honestly can't picture Meta-Knight stronger than Donkey Kong or even near his level. all he practically has is Brawl. The Kirby series was never as big as anything DK shelled out.. except maybe Konga.

i just put magus because i think this board is very well capable of creating a bandwagon for anything brawl.
magus is a near lock but i still see people picking the upset.

I'll agree with voltch that -- after Magus unimpressively beat PW and lost hard to Big Boss last year, not to mention his bitter loss to Knuckles years ago -- MK would be considered a sexy upset pick for some of the board...

...considered by some. Ultimately, Magus would win it in an unimpressive fashion.


As for the MK/DK comparison...this time last year, I would have agreed this would have been above MK's peak. However, last year MK showed he could clearly outdo Peach, Wario, or Captain Falcon BEFORE SSBB. There was a different format so that makes a huge difference, but I don't think many people would have taken Peach or especially Wario over MK after his performances. Considering that, MK was pretty close to DK pre-SSBB if not on-par. Now with SSBB out and MK being both very easy and very likable as well as small things like his stage being one of the coolest and his "character" in the SSE being one of the most fun to watch, I think it's hard to contest with MK being able to hang with DK if not beat him. Perhaps SFF would change things, but right now I would think MK is at least indirectly stronger.





Tifa - Ganondorf or Zelda sounds sweet.

Niko - Kefka could be fitting, and controversy would ensue both before and after the match.

Meta-Knight - DK works, but I'll reach for the stars here; Master Chief would cause a massive board split.

Kirby - Magus, Sora, Ryu, Kratos...all of them work, but I'll say I'd like to see Kirby fight Ryu the most just to upset Leonhart. =P

CATS - Forget giving him a match he could win, let him face Solid Snake for the sake of fan-fiction.

Tifa - Ganondorf would be a good bet - I almost want to see her face Vincent or Squall but couldn't see her beating either.

Niko - Donkey Kong, mostly to see how he stacks up against Vercetti.

Meta-Knight - I sorta want to see him face Diddy Kong, but that just seems like a waste of at least one interesting newcomer... let's go with Axel instead.

Kirby - Vyse in round 1, Phoenix Wright in round 2, and then... actually, Ryu works fine. <_<

CATS - Phoenix Wright. Screw interesting matches.

MarioSuperstar | Posted 7/28/2008 1:37:54 PM | message detail
i guess it wouldn't be impossible to have MK be indirectly stronger than Donkey Kong, but beating Peach in a multi-poll isn't really much to brag about if you really think about it. is she worth much even in that formt?

and beating Wario (who is in the same trailer) isn't saying much either.

Beating Peach in a format where Vincent beat post-TP Zelda by 10% isn't that impressive. Princesses and villains not named Sephiroth really sucked it up due to the format, I think. Unless we think Vincent is actually close to being on-par with Samus for some insane reason.

Correction: Hilariously enough, Vincent actually beat post-TP Zelda by...get this....8.8%

I can't see Meta Knight beating Magus. I actually think MK would be a little stronger, strictly speaking. But, Magus would just pull a Frog, I'm sure. I think I'd take MK over Frog, though it'd be close. SC2K7 showed something very interesting... check out these two matches.

http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/drupal/node/22?matchnum=2896&num=4
http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/drupal/node/22?matchnum=2900&num=4

Frog did just as well on Samus as Magus did on Mario. (okay, Samus probably suffered a bit from Midna's presence). But, Samus showed to be very close to Mario in strength, showing to be just as strong in '07 as in '04 as evidenced by Samus' showing against Cloud (and other things). And, Mario didn't do much better against Sephiroth than Samus did against Cloud, suggesting Mario and Samus are near-equals. It's quite interesting how close Frog and Magus might be. It's just a maybe, but I think it's a pretty good chance. In the past it was agreed Magus was a good deal above Frog.

Yeah, you could blame MK's victories over Peach being based off low-tiered Nintendo characters doing poorly in the format, but I still consider over 18% in that Round 1 match as some pretty good proof of legit strength, considering Sephiroth + Peach + CATS for the opponents, as well as being leeched by Peach... it's obvious he'd get well over 20% against Sephiroth alone. Heck, just take CATS' 11.22% out of the match ,distribute between Peach, MK, and Sephiroth as appropriate, and MK's already up to 21%.

(ran out of time...)

i'll never see Frog and Magus as near equals. has something like that ever happened before, anyway? one character drops faster than the other and eventually they become equal?

doesn't make sense to me. the format just can't simply be trusted to the exact percent.

I remember Tnote arguing Frog > Magus a long time ago, but there's never been a point where I thought Frog really had an edge on Magus. It wouldn't be a blow-out, but I'll still take Magus.

hmm. as of 12:30pm:

Wii ownership: 57.29%
360 ownership: 47.78%
PS3 ownership: 31.72%

85% of GameFAQs users own one of the three consoles as well. that seems pretty high.

HaRRicH | Posted 7/29/2008 10:09:02 AM | message detail
The Wii and especially the 360 should go up some later in the day, though I'm not 100% sure they'll reach their previous marks (59.82% and 50.22%, respectively). The PS3 is looking good no matter what...in comparison with itself, at least...but I don't know if it'll go up through-out the day or not. It's currently smoking its old mark of 26.29%, whatever the case.

One thing to look out for though is how many 360-owners there are. Those the PS3 is making big gains, the PS3 and 360 are still largely in more direct competition with each other...and 360 is still owning it. It could be hard for the PS3 to make many more gains from here when the 360 ownership is as high as it is, even with MGS4.

I was thinking the same thing. I kinda figure the Wii should suffer a little less since SSBB hit Europe since the last Got Wii?-poll...but yeah, if a lot of the PS3's increase is from new people instead of GameFAQs-regulars getting PS3's, then it's natural the rest will suffer. Hmmm...I wonder how many of these will stick around.

apart from MGS4 is there anything the PS3 has up it's sleeve that's not a FPS?
even with multiplatform FFXIII will sell better on PS3 but I would like to see PS3 ownership rise.

it would make things interesting to have new midcard level characters from different consoles facing off.
we need new blood in the contests tbh.

Hey guys, while I've been waiting for Portal to install I've been dabbling with a screw-around bracket. It's only got thirty-two people in it and a lot of the first-round matches are throw-away matches (purposefully due to not being able to think of more people...hopefully someone will get a laugh), but I think there's some good stuff in there too. Check it out:



1-Mewtwo
8-Bidoof
4-Pac-Man
5-Raiden
3-Alucard
6-Liquid Snake
2-Charmander
7-Mudkip

1-Master Chief
8-Cait Sith
4-Altair
5-Gordon Freeman
3-Meta-Knight
6-Revolver Ocelot
2-Donkey Kong

1-Rikku
8-Yuffie

5-Kefka

1-Mewtwo > 8-Bidoof

The entertaining part would be laughing as we compare Mewtwo to Vincent based on constant Bidoof

5-Raiden > 4-Pac-Man

Post-MGS4 Raiden can't be lower than 2k5 Ocelot.

6-Liquid Snake > 3-Alucard

I'll buy a significant MGS boost.

2-Charmander > 7-Mudkip

uhh...yeah

1-Master Chief > 8-Cait Sith

...Yuffie would be debatable. Not Cait Sith >_>

5-Gordon Freeman > 4-Altair

Solely because I don't know who Altair is >_>

6-Revolver Ocelot > 3-Meta-Knight

Ocelot is my surprise super booster.

2-Donkey Kong > 7-Lanky Kong

lol DK SFFing somebody >_>

8-Yuffie > 1-Rikku

As I said, Yuffie could possibly be more than a solid midcarder. I'll take the upset out of sheer Yuffie-bias.

5-Kefka > 4-Diddy Kong

Kefka hasn't fallen this bad. Yet.

6-Ryu Hayabusa > 3-Frog

This would be questionable after 2k5. ...Frog has fallen, while Ryu probably hasn't. I mean...Ryu would probably be about 47-48% on post-KH2 Riku. Frog was 52% on pre-KH2 Riku

2-Niko > 7-Roxas

....lol Roxas

1-Sub-Zero > 8-Reptile

Sub > MK

4-Marth > 5-Ike

lol Fire Emblem games actually mattering

6-Knuckles > 3- Yuna

Knuckles was on-par with Rikku despite Yoshi being there. Rikku is fairly close to Yuna.

2-Vivi > 7-Tidus

....I just took FF9 in an SFF matchup. God save us all.

Round Two

Mewtwo > Raiden

...I really don't know why I'm taking this. I just like Mewtwo's chances of being pretty decent.

Liquid > Charmander

....not Charmander, though. Charizard, sure. Not mander.

Chief > Freeman

Another easy Chief win.

Ocelot > Donkey Kong

Oh yes, I went there. Nanofear.

Yuffie > Kefka

....lolz. After Kefka broke my bracket in 2k5, I'm not trusting him again. That, and Lettuce.

Ryu > Niko

Yuffie vs. Ryu Hayabusa. What a division.

Sub-Zero > Marth

Beating Chief > Losing to DK.

Knuckles > Vivi

...mainly because I don't trust FF9.

Round Three

Liquid > Mewtwo

Unlike Raiden, Liquid is goddamn Liquid.

Ocelot > Chief

...amazingly enough, we finally get to end the Ocelot/Liquid debate from Sp2k5

Yuffie > Ryu

What the hell at this division.

Knuckles > Sub-Zero

...yeah.

Ocelot > Liquid

Liquid Ocelot more like Ocelot Liquid

Knuckles > Yuffie

All these wins just to get smacked around by Knuckles, who gets his revenge on the Playstation for Knuckles/Snake.

Ocelot > Knuckles

2/10 Division

1 - Super Smash Brothers Brawl > 8 - Final Fantasy 4 DS

I hate you, Ulti. Why couldn't you have put my favorite game ever against WoW?

4 - Final Fantasy X > 5 - Soul Calibur 4

Um....SCIV won't be much stronger than SC, if at all.

3 - Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow > 6 - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Less Pokehate than there used to be.

2 - Super Mario Brothers 3 > 7 - Grand Theft Auto 4

Eh, can't see Mario 3 being weaker than in 2k4 thanks to VC, while GTAIV probably won't be above Vice City.

Zelda Division

1 - Zelda: Ocarina of Time > 8 - The Legend of Zelda

...I love this division already

4 - Zelda: Twilight Princess > 5 - Zelda: Link's Awakening

lawl GB games

3 - Chrono Trigger > 6 - Zelda: Wind Waker

I...refuse to put Wind Waker above any game of note

2 - Resident Evil 4 > 7 - Final Fantasy 6

That's right, RE4's making a major impact!

IP Flood Division

1 - World of Warcraft > 8 - Final Fantasy 12

oh god I want to take the upset so badly...not that it'll matter

4 - Kingdom Hearts > 5 - Final Fantasy Tactics

Wasn't "It'll lose to Kingdom Hearts anyways" the reasoning involved in Halo/Starcraft?

6 - Halo > 3 - Starcraft

Alright, it seriously won't matter this time.

2 - Super Smash Brothers Melee > 7 - Diablo 2

Because Melee's path is really...REALLY boring.

Round Two, lazy editions

Brawl > FFX
Mario 3 > Pokemon

Ocarina > Twilight
LttP > CT

FFVII > Mario World
RE4 > MGS

KH > WoW
Melee > Halo

Round Three

Mario 3 > Brawl

I swear to God that I am not just doing this to post another bracket (I was thinking about this at work today, and it's not a prediction bracket anyway) but I think I've figured out how the 2007 contest was seeded. Sorry if someone posted this last year, but I think I've figured out that each initial match represents a four pack, albeit not always in the same order. For example in the first division, the matches were:

Yoshi (4)
Knuckles (5)
Rikku (12)
Vaan (13)

Arthas (16)
Diablo (8)
KOS-MOS (9)
Mega Man (1)

Axel (10)
Frog (7)
Kerrigan (15)
Samus (2)

Agent 47 (14)
Kratos (11)
Midna (3)
Scorpion (6)

If this was not the way that the bracket was set up, I find it very interesting how a lot of these matches work out to form a neat little bracket. And naturally some of my seeding decisions might be wrong as well, but I think I'm on to something.

Full bracket in my next post:

I personally find it hard to believe that Pikachu would have gotten a 4 seed, or that Leon would have gotten a 2.

....let alone Mega Man being a 1 seed when Mario himself is a 2. >_>

And while we're turning 4-ways into 2-ways...

In 2k2...say it were 4-way matches.

Link vs. Sephiroth vs. Mario vs. Crono

What would you have taken back then? Sephiroth > Link?

*randomly drops in*

...People actually think Yuffie is more popular than Cid Highwind? That's complete nonsense. There is absolutely no way she beats him. He's closer to Red XIII than Yuffie.

*drops out*

Mega Man might have been a 2 seed. I just thought that Arthas was more likely to me a 16 seed than Kerrigan was.

Honestly, after two straight years of absolutely sucking, I could see nominators giving up on Kerrigan entirely.

Does anyone else think that the next contest will be something special? SBallin' said "it is not ready...", it's not that much work is it? Getting nominations up for best char or best game...

People should've given up on Kerrigan after the first time. Hopefully, they've learned their lesson.

Yeah, I'm not particularly sure what was so motivating for people to nominate her a SECOND time in 2006, much less a third time last year...but here's to hoping she falls off of the contest pages like Ryo Hazuki.

Well then who's on first? Yes. I mean the guy's name. Who. The guy on 1st. Who. The 1st baseman. Who. Who is on first! That's his name. That's who's name? Yes.

Female bracket. She could have probably beaten most of the 6 seeds down.

....possibly.
