So basically Duke Nukem and Niko Bellic are looking more like night characters than Kefka?

Demyx is better than Axel.

Or Kefka is just that weak, and both will totally own Kefka during the day.
Master Moltar | Posted 9/19/2008 10:53:10 PM | message detail
Niko isn't even doing anything, this is just Kefka failing

(so glad i jumped off that ship)

Duke/Kefka/Marth/Niko - Bracket: Marth > Niko - Vote: Marth (4/8)

Kefka somewhat winning the day vote would be a sight to see!

Kefka isn't a night character so much as an early vote character. he's just really, really good in that opening vote.

You know, acting like a debated match was a sure thing all along doesn't get you much respect.

Yeah, that's what we have Hochi for, to call Marth>Kefka the easiest pick ever and then watch this happen.

KP, you could also calculate X-stat results using the tool out on creative's site:

http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/drupal/node/48

If you say Marth=29 on one line and Kefka=21 on the next and hit Submit it will tell you what would happen in a match between the two.

So, uh, I tried to use the calculator Ngamer just posted to estimate Zidane/Shadow/Luke's values based on BL, using Link's value last year. I got this:

Link: 59.9
Zidane: 25.8
Shadow: 22.8
Luke: 10


Something tells me this isn't right. >_>

Well, Luke got 9% against Link yesterday, but I don't know if it supports those values that you got or not.

Crazy update.

Tried it again using Link's value from 2k5, as it was the lowest while still being kinda sorta recent.

Link: 54.56
Zidane: 23.3
Shadow: 20.7
Luke: 8.8

Seems more likely when you factor in Link/Shadow LFF.

KamikazePotato | Posted 9/19/2008 11:10:21 PM | message detail
Took Wario's stat from last year, gave him a 2% Brawl increase (which is probably too generous), and...

Zack: 23.5
Wario: 19.68
Cecil: 11.25
Jade: 4.5

That Cecil value cannot be right, but the Jade value matches up with last year's value when you factor in the possible 4th Character being weakened a bit thing. Maybe Zack SFFd Cecil some? I don't know. This is turning out less helpful than I thought.

Hey, this is the same crazy stats-mangling that led me to pick Link>Zidane. Don't judge me. >_>

KP, I was thinking about this last night, didn't you used to be Brett with Atreyu? >.> Just curious.

And damnit man you should've talked me into that Zidane pick. I thought little enough of Shadow that I might've listened.

KamikazePotato | Posted 9/19/2008 11:15:05 PM | message detail
Yeah, I did. That account got banned for a very very silly reason.

And I was talking people OUT of Link>Zidane. I knew it had a possibility, having worked out the mangled stats myself, but I never thought it would actually pan out. I mean, it's Zidane.

KamikazePotato | Posted 9/19/2008 11:16:48 PM | message detail
Hey, the Z in GameZAQs can stand for more than one character you know!

(no amount of stats mangling will be able for us to make sense of the first two matches, and Zidane vs. Zack will be interesting no matter what the outcome)

Also, Zack...uh...crack! Or something.

ExThaNemesis | Posted 9/19/2008 11:18:07 PM | message detail
Yeah, I did. That account got banned for a very very silly reason.

I was just thinking because I very seldom like to switch what I call people over the years(i am the game is the one exception), and I recall still calling you Brett for quite a while, but KP is a lot easier to type and you seem to have adopted that. I know I will never be able to change from ExTha, though.

The one thing that was missing from last year's contest was a match where more than just two characters had a shot for one place. This one has potential for an all out melee.
