Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 552

KamikazePotato | Posted 8/8/2008 4:36:30 PM | message detail
but we don't need them in a contest since they're all going to be about the same - where Marth was. go ahead and nominate them, but you couldn't make a more predictable entrant.

Ike is the Brawl casual favorite and has two FE games to draw on. At the very least I want to see how much he's increased.

Ed Bellis | Posted 8/8/2008 4:36:42 PM | message detail
So I'm trying to solely nominate characters who I think would do well and haven't had good chances to demonstrate their strength yet, plus characters who I'd like to see more of in a 1-on-1 setting. So far I've got:

L-Block
Arthas
Mewtwo

Leaning towards Ken as well. Any other good takers?

(and no, none of this NOMINATE PLZ stuff >_>)

Reminder: we all agree to nominate Charizard this year instead of Mewtwo/Lucario/Pokemon Trainer/anything else Pokemon.


...it's true! Even HM!

He isn't a killer. He just wins - thoroughly.

I think Akuma deserves a shot in a 1 on 1 setting.

Demyx is better than Axel.
Just like Explicit Content is better than me for winning the Guru contest.

Yeah, you know what, I just signed Charizard as my last nomination

Yall, we seriously need to get Tron Bonne into this contest though. I don't care if she's absolutely dead bottom on the x-stats, it would make me happy.

Proto Man

Seriously, he got screwed, and unlike Raiden doesn't suck. So why should Raiden get a second chance and not him?

Why should Raiden get another shot over Protoman? There's a tough one.

Sailor Bacon is my hero! I wish I could join in the discussions more, but I'm busy busy busy.

I know I'm nominating Wario! Oh, and L-Block just because I'm curious like everyone else to see how it'll do in another contest. If L-Block doesn't face a powerhouse in the first few rounds, it might threaten another championship. I wouldn't be surprised if SBAllen bans L-Block, as well as any generic/random (you know what I mean) characters or objects.

I don't think Charizard deserves a spot more than Mewtwo, but I wouldn't mind seeing both. But, I want to see Jigglypuff, darn it!

Ken is the way to go. SF4 is coming "fall 08", and seeing as this will probably not start until at least October, Ken should be front and center.

he's the only serious entrant I seem to really care about this year. everything else I nominate will just be stupid stuff just for fun, like TIM

I'm pretty sure the console version of SF4 is next year. The only thing this year is the arcade.

Ken = Raiden >> Proto Man

I don't care much about Proto, especially since Mega Man kinda sucked last year.
trannyscience | Posted 8/8/2008 4:57:31 PM | message detail
the arcade version is already out - the console version was confirmed by Capcom as being Fall 08.

For Pokemon, I nominated Charizard and Pikachu. Charizard is obvious, and I really want to see how Pikachu does 1v1 years later with the hate died down. Obviously won't be benefiting from the split votes that led him to an epic run the likes of which were only beaten by L-Block, but he's probably gone a long way from being close to the likes of Parappa.

Hell, I want to see what the little fella can do.

Mister Ed Bellis, if you are looking for potentially strong characters who haven't had a shot yet, then please nominate GLaDOS. She's the star of Portal, and we all know how popular Portal is on the internet (this site included).

Screw Ken, we need Cammy. I think she could be better than Thunder Thighs due to the KMF (Kylie Minogue Factor)

Glados is barely named, and you only see "her" at the end of the game. but it's Glados, so it's pretty much awesome to nominate her either way.

Ngamer64 | Posted 8/8/2008 5:31:15 PM | message detail
Hmm, "Tifa Lockhart" and "Tifa Lockheart" are recognized as different people in the nomination system. I bet that's why she missed the cut last year- had her noms split, and no one thought to rejoin them.

Hopefully SB's on the ball with stuff like that this season.

They weren't separate people when I nominated her earlier. I bet one or two people who insist on a different spelling is messing it up.

I'm sure he'll check things like that.

Also, I'm nominating Diddy mostly because he was a NRT character who didn't make it in last year, and he probably had the highest base strength of the new Brawl crew (sans Snake and Sonic, of course).

CBVII Nominations: Squall Leonhart, Tidus, Seifer, Diddy, Akuma, Roxas, Ocelot, Locke, Phoenix Wright, Gray Fox, Neku, Laguna, Protoman, Ken Masters, Sub-Zero

I think every time someone nominates a character, that character (and any misspellings on the nomination form) gets added to the database.

Here's a question: Do you think Diddy could be stronger than Donkey Kong? I could see him being more popular, honestly.

WarThaNemesis2 | Posted 8/8/2008 6:07:00 PM | message detail
No way. Diddy to Donkey would get the Magus to Crono treatment. Yeah, his fanbase is more loyal, but Magus is from Chrono Trigger, and Diddy is from Donkey Kong Country games.

You say that, Ulti, but the moment we get our first great match that attitude will change.

Last contest's first division had more entertaining matches than all of 2006 pre-Battle Royale.

I'm not as excited this time around, not so much because of the delayed start but because I just know 4chan will get another joke character late into the contest if not flat-out winning it again.

I'll still submit the bracket and everything, but I just know something stupid will happen.
