If Vyse makes the Elite Eight, it'll be a terrible bracket.

And I say this as a huge Vyse fan.

Actually, it would be pretty awesome if a random 'obscure yet loved' fodder character like Vyse, Laharl, Guybrush ect. boosted to high heaven one year and started kicking ass. Would certainly shake 1 on 1 matches up a bit.

If you had to risk your life on either Snake beating Sephiroth or Vyse winning a match against a random member of the Villains Contest, which would you risk on?

A contest where Guybrush is winning matches is a contest I don't want to see.

I'd take Laharl and feel good about it.

That should tell you plenty about what I think of Guybrush.

Well let's see who's under Ramirez in the stats.

Wesker
Master Hand
Ghaleon
Kuja
Pyramid Head
Luca Blight
Giygas
Officer Tenpenny

Would you take Vyse over any of them besides Tenpenny?

I wouldn't have any problem taking Vyse over any of the bottom four. Maybe Ghaleon, too.

You know you're weak when you vs. Ghaleon is debatable.

KamikazePotato | Posted 8/15/2008 8:41:17 PM | message detail
Wesker is out after his last performance. Master Hand is obviously out. Kuja would win too, for the virtue of being from an FF game. Pyramid Head put up a decent performance last year, so he might win. Giygas would also win; his only match was against Ganondorf, and may have been SFF, and even without that Earthbound is still much more popular than SoA.

Lunar probably got hit by the site shift harder than Skies of Arcadia did, so Ghaleon would lose. Same with Suikoden and Luca Blight. Tenpenny is...yeah.


So...Snake>Sephiroth for me, then.

And since we seem to need a new fodder line, how about Ness? He's been pretty consistent, won't randomly decrease due to the SSB series, and won't randomly increase either due to Nintendo giving us the finger on Mother-related games.

Malakuko | Posted 8/15/2008 9:12:36 PM | message detail
Ness seems fitting as the fodder line

I don't see how this board ever agreed that you have to be weaker than Vyse to be fodder

honestly Nana would do 65% on Vyse

Neither, as I'd be too busy writing out my will for my inevitably quick death.

So I havent posted on gamefaqs since last contest. Could anyone get me up to date on new fad characters, and who 4chan supports? Not knowing all the fads is what sunk my bracket last year.

Let's make it SF Ryu and Ryu Hayabusa handcuffed together.

And I mean the actual Antichrist, but he gets a pic of Cloud and Sephiroth making out (clothed).

Not knowing all the fads is what sunk my bracket last year.

Doubtful, since fad characters rarely get into the 2nd round, and thus don't cost a lot of points. And no one knew L-block would be this strong.

Donkey Kong couldn't get 65% on Vyse. No way Nana does.

Knowing about Bidoof and Mudkip would have been helpful though, and their success could have been predicted by people in the know.

consolefreak | Posted 8/16/2008 9:50:24 AM | message detail
Yeah 2 out of the bunch of joke characters that made it to round 2. Like I said, not a lot of points.

Also, wouldn't common sense tell you to pick Bidoof over Agent J and Miles Edgeworth? Insanely obscure character versus Pokemon character. If anything, knowing the fads might have lead you to pick Miles.

I'll give you Mudkip, though I'm sure he had some legitimate strength there.

Of course, knowing the fads can't hurt. I just doubt it could have "sunk" your bracket last year.

Random Question:

If Sonic and Crono's position in the 2002 bracket are switched, does Sonic beat Mario at the Final 4?

I'm gonna say, Yes actually. Adjusting for what I think is right, it seems like Sonic was just barely below Mario then anyway, and with all of the anti-Mario sentiment behind him that year, I think he might have been able to do it.

Doubt it. He may have given Mario a good fight, but plumberman would have a firm handle on things. Mario World obliterated Sonic 2 less than two years later, and while I know characters and games can't simply be interchanged, it's clear enough that Mario has always had the advantage on this site. If Samus could equal Sonic before she was ever blessed with the Prime series, I don't think Mario would be in any danger of losing.

Norris takes the board vote, but Vin Diesel wins, much to the horror of B8. Believe.

As for the surveillance camera... it's just lame. I'm not sure what I can say, really. I just don't see what's funny about it other than "it's an object let's nominate it for the lulz." I've never seen any sort of charm in the surveillance camera, maybe you could explain to me why you think it's funny instead of me explaining what's so bad?

The Ladder at least had a hilarious and unique boss fight going for it.
