Division 5: Round 1 - Match 17 – Donkey Kong vs. Tails vs. Tidus vs. Weighted Companion Cube Moltar’s Analysis Donkey Kong Game/Series Known From: Donkey Kong 2007 Results: 2nd Place in Round 1 vs. Kratos, Marth and Prince of all Cosmos 4th Place in Round 2 vs. Kratos, L-Block and Kirby Brawl Character #17, match #17, keeping up so far! Tails Game/Series Known From: Sonic 2007 Results: 4th Place in Round 1 vs. Vincent, Zelda and The Boss The Boss is awesome and all…but wow Tails, that’s just sad Tidus Game/Series Known From: Final Fantasy X 2007 Results: 2nd Place in Round 1vs. Pikachu, Isaac and Serge 4th Place in Round 2 vs. Leon, Pikachu and Vivi The guy/girl we love to hate is back. WCC Game/Series Known From: Portal 2007 Results: N/A Not even incineration can kill it Well this is a match made up of three Contest flops and a Cube. Don’t you just love these groups? DK’s been known to choke in the past, but last year he pretty much did what everyone expected. Second in round 1 due to Kratos being stronger than him and Marth taking votes. Then he looked pretty bad in Round 2, but that’s because Kirby took the majority of the Nintendo vote. This year he gets a much easier group to start, so let’s hope he doesn’t choke this one away. Tails lost to The Boss. Yes, I know MGS looked great in Round 1 last year, while Sonic Team looked bad. Still, you don’t lose to The Boss and then go on to beat DK and Tidus. Tails is likely to end up last here…again. Tidus is another choker. After losing to Ganondorf in a close match during Square’s year, he went on to embarrass himself year after year with bigger than expected losses to Mega Man, Kirby and Squall. Last year was no exception, as suddenly Pikachu was able to take advantage of the four-way format and beat Tidus. Oddly enough, he looked better in Round 2 where there was stronger competition. He came close to beating Vivi, and the two weren’t far away from the 2nd place Pikachu. Then there’s the unknown variable, Weighted Companion Cube. Yes, it’s a joke character, but one with a small bit of potential. We saw it pull 20% in a joke poll at the end of the last contest, and we saw GlaDOS pull 20% with Vincent and Falco, meaning a fair amount of people have played Portal and will vote it over whatever else. With the Cube, it gets that plus people who are “in” on the joke. It has a good chance of taking one of the two top spots, considering DK and Tidus aren’t the most reliable competitors and JokeFAQs is still running strong. However, I just don’t think Portal and the Cube is at that level (though GlaDOS’s performance scares me). Even if it does get that 20% and then some, I can see both Tidus and DK outdoing that by a little. As for who gets first, I’m going with Tidus, since I think he’s stronger, and Square fans are more likely to support him than Nintendo with DK, as evidenced in Round 2 from both competitors. Moltar’s Bracket Says: Tidus > DK Moltar’s Prediction is: Tidus: 33% - DK: 27% - WCC: 25% - Tails: 15% Heroic Mario’s Analysis This is being written pre-Block, so if turns out the joke characters are out in full force this year -- 'whoops.' (Moltar note: whoops indeed) |

| The big question in this match is how well does
the Cube do. Depending on how many people find the idea of a cube with
hearts on it winning funny will determine whether or not it advances.
I'm banking on the Cube not being as widespread as it needs to be in
order for that to happen. You can make the argument that you don't need
to know the story behind a cube with hearts on it, but unlike L-Block
it doesn't instantly click with most people. It may not be "funny"
enough without knowing the idea behind it...or maybe not. Who knows
with these joke characters -- I don't like predicting them. Out of all
of them, though, the Cube has the best competition to advance. Tidus and DK, while not that weak, have gained a reputation for choking. DK almost always loses matches where he's expected to win, and Tidus seems to keep falling more and more each year -- going 50/50 with Ganon to 50/50 with Shadow to losing to Pikachu. He's seen better years. Still, I think he gets knocked a bit too much. For all that he lost to Pikachu last year, it wasn't a blowout -- it was primarily underestimating how much the "Pokehate" had gone down. It's still not a good thing that Tidus lost, but it doesn't render him fodder, not in this format where Pokemon seem to thrive. If you look back at round 2, Tidus would have advanced in Pikachu's place if you took Vivi away. He got around 20% against Leon Kennedy, Pikachu, and Vivi. That seems to tell me he's got a solid amount of people who will back him despite the competition he's up against. Here, he's going up against what might as well be two Nintendo characters and a cube. Given how the Nintendo guys have performed this year -- certainly not in for another year of domination post-Brawl -- I think Tidus is primed to take first here. It'll probably be close, but I like his chances. And when there's a chance, I go with Square! woo bias Prediction: Tidus - 33% ; DK - 30% ; WCC - 22% ; Tails - 15% Bracket: Tidus > DK Vote: Tidus Yoblazer’s Analysis http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=973 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1351 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1740 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2106 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1307 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1754 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2104 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2516 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2885 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3240 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3257 ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5FTJxfV3pc Donkey Kong - 25% Miles "Tails" Prower - 17% Tidus - 28% Weighted Companion Cube - 30% Lopen’s Analysis Battle of the choke artists so it's called. What if I said that two chokes make a... um... free air flow? ... whatever the opposite of a choke is! Manually breathing. Losing the game? I don't know! What I'm saying is I'm not taking Tidus or DK to lose here. I've always doubted the WCC's power to harness JOKEFEAR. It's just... too obscure to get the kinda support L-Block does. I'm not saying Portal doesn't have a fanbase here, but it's not enough. I'm sure Yoblazer will be quick to cite GlaDOS's success earlier this round as support for the Cube, but I really don't see it as a huge benefit... in some ways it almost makes me doubt the Cube more, wondering how many raw joke votes WCC really got in the final last year. With GlaDOS pulling in those numbers, that 20% WCC got in the joke invitational could've been basically all Portal fans. Is the name/design really funny enough to draw in people who don't know Portal? Not sure. |
| Master Moltar | Posted 10/3/2008 8:11:11 PM | message detail |
| I've also gotta doubt Cube's rate of conversion
from GlaDOS. Although we can't really draw much from this, it's curious
anyway that I conducted a poll on B8 among GlaDOS voters, and asked if
they were voting the cube/would they vote GlaDOS were she in the cube's
place. Amazingly, well over half of them (got about 20-25 responses)
replied that they were not, but would vote GlaDOS were she there. Not
exactly "scientific study" material, but something to consider
nonetheless. So yeah... basically, while I think Cube should do well for itself, with DK and Tidus being fairly balanced at around 30% each a weak (static?) joke fanbase and the relatively small Portal fanbase probably won't be enough to place. Now, Cube aside... DK vs Tidus, who ya got in this battle of chokers? Me, I took Tidus. Way I see it: Tidus and Vivi about split evenly last year. Vivi beat DK pretty soundly a few years ago. LOTS of boosts in DK's corner since then, but there's also the format, which to me should favor Tidus. DK dropped down to a lowly 14% last year when he was thrown in with Kratos, Kirby, and L. Tidus held up a lot better against an arguably tougher group that also had SFF in it in Vivi, Leon, and Pikachu. To me that says Tidus likes the format more. Also, Miles Per Hour probably hurts DK more than Tidus, for however much that's worth. "Icon SFF" or something. Lopen's Prediction: Tidus – 30.61% DK – 27.30% Cube – 23.03% Miles Per Hour – 19.06% Transience’s Analysis okay, let's start with the "real" characters first, then we'll get to the Cube. DK, Tidus and Tails are three of the biggest choke jobs we have. DK's lost a host of famous matches, from Tommy Vercetti in 2003 to the epic Master Chief collapse in 2005 to dropping the biggest vote total in contest history before barely coming back in the Game Contest against Duck Hunt. Tidus has been embarrassed four years in a row - Mega Man in 2004, Kirby in 2005, Squall in 2006 and Pikachu in 2007. Tails is just weak, and flat-out trash in this format. when we compare Tidus and DK statistically, DK comes out on top - 49% on 2005 Master Chief is better than 42% on 2005 Kirby. DK got 28% in a poll with Marth and Kratos -- Tidus got 32% against friggin' Serge, Isaac and Pikachu. DK also has had Brawl this year while Tidus has.. Dissidia hype. yeah, goin' with DK between those two. then there's the Cube. we've seen three Orange Box characters so far - Glados, Gordon Freeman, Spy - and all of them have exceeded most people's expectations. Orange Box looks like a real, legitimate factor, and the Cube *has* to be stronger than Glados given that it's more recognizable. Glados got 20% in a poll with much better competition - Vincent rocks any of these guys and Falco's probably close to DK. plus, GameFAQs has shown that they'll vote en masse for inanimate objects, and the Cube is far more endearing than the L-Block is. of course, L-Block wins out big on the recognizability factor, but I think people would vote for the Cube that wouldn't vote for the Block. if people right now are voting for L-Block because it's funny, they should vote for the Cube even if they have no idea what it is. L-Block's success compels people to vote for the Cube, I think. the Cube's got a pretty easy path if he/she/it gets past round 1. if it moves on - and I think it will - then we'll be seeing it walk out of its division with ease. hail the Cube. DK beats Tee-dus so does the Companion Cube embarrassed once more transience's prediction: Donkey Kong with 30.30%, Weighted Companion Cube with 29.45%, Tidus with 26.51%, Tails with 13.74% |

Ngamer’s Analysis After a stretch of bad results there, I'd forgotten how good it feels to go out on a limb and be right for a change. I gave Ike plenty of credit but still expected Arthas to have a little too much in the tank in terms of WotLK hype and rally power to fall back on if need be, and that was correct- whoo! (What's that you say? Arthas wasn't even the risky pick there? Hey, stop killing my buzz!) And now we return to... joke character territory, uh oh! Now as I explained in that post-Block writeup I DO think that jokes add something to the 4-way table. In the first round, that is. L-Block and WCC and Hogger and Sandbag, all of these are legitimately enjoyable matches to discuss and debate beforehand, because the element of the unknown means these jokes could either be true threats or absolute busts. The trouble is that from R2 and on, we're able to pin their strength down pretty easily, and their static fanbases work to actually makes results from then on LESS interesting. But okay, I'm starting to get carried away, got to break that line of thought and jump right into where these fellows finished up last time around: Last Known Values Tidus - 22.69% (2007) Donkey Kong - 21.53% (2007) Tails - 18.26% (2007) WCC - new (however if you count the bonus match and base it off L-Block, it's... really high) The Cube is undoubtedly the one to watch out of this whole delightful mess. In my opinion it has a pretty tremendous range: I could see it pulling anywhere from 20.00% (which is what GlaDOS managed against Vincent and is probably a pretty good indication of what pure Portal appeal is worth) and 31.81% (what L-Block managed against Ryu; we know Block could have gone higher if not for The Dog, but I can't see WCC having that kind of broad appeal right off the bat, so 32 seems about right). The trouble of course is that if its more to the low end, all Cube can hope for is to hold off Tails for third place... but if it performs toward the high end, it could not only win this four pack but do it convincingly. I hope that I'm just being too knee-jerkingly reactionary, but sorry, the way Block performed at mid-season '07 levels while having enough "funny" jokes left over for The Dog to look like at least somewhat decent fodder has me suffering from a pretty severe case of JOKEFEAR right now. I see the Cube finishing closer to the high end of my given range, which adds a whole new layer of excitement to this match- only one other option can survive here. Who will it be?! Let's eliminate Tails from the running right off the bat. Even if WCC was Tanner-level fodder no one would be giving this guy a shot at advancement, and with good reason; you don't go from losing to The Boss to knocking out decent midcarders, especially not when your Sonic Teams pals have been bombing left and right ever since this new format came into play. OK, so how about Tidus? I think the FFX lead has been given a great opportunity here. He gets to act as a lightning rod for all things FF/Square/RPG and really stands out from this crowd of fuzzy animals and weird boxes. The underperformance from Vincent aside (which I still don't understand BTW), that's been a recipe for success so far this season, and I'm not seeing any reason for it to stop now. The only negative I see for Tidus is his match picture, but eh, he always looks kind of embarrasingly feminine in his pics, and that's never stop- Alright, so maybe it HAS stopped him before. But still, bad pics should just be a natural part of his (lack of?) strength by this point, so I don't see him flopping TOO far below expectations. |
| Master Moltar | Posted 10/3/2008 8:12:29 PM | message detail |
| That leaves us with only Donkey Kong. The poor
guy... I see him losing here, finishing out of the running in third and
having to put up with wave after wave of "better loosen that tie DK,
you're choking
again!" topics in the next 24 hours, but he really won't deserve it.
The King of the Kongs has just been placed in a really unfavorable
position here: we've already seen that there's a pretty serious
connection between Nintendo and Sonic these days with the way Mario and
Zelda caused Knuckles and Shadow to underperform, and so even though
Tails shouldn't be pulling in a very large percentage of these votes,
the few voters he does win over will be coming at DK's expense IMO. On
top of that I just get the unexplainable impression that WCC, much like
L-Block before it, is going to take the biggest bite out of old school
Nintendo characters, and since we've already seen how bad DK looked
when dealing with pressure from Blocky and Kirby, that feels like
another strike against him. Maybe that sounds weird, but yeah, I can't
shake the idea that Tidus supporters are going to be more loyal and
less willing to toss their vote to the Cube for the sake of a laugh. In summation, if DK is able to overcome all these obstacles and advance tomorrow, I'll be hugely impressed. If Tidus blows all of his advantages and fails tomorrow, he will earn the title of the undisputed biggest choker in GameFAQs history. If JOKEFEAR fails me tomorrow and the Cube flops hard, I will be very surprised (but also overjoyed). Let's numberize those thoughts, stir them in the pot for a few minutes, and come out with: Weighted Companion Cube - 27.66% Tidus - 27.55% Donkey Kong - 26.23% Miles 'Tails' Prower - 18.56% And with that we reach the sad end of an era, as I've been forced to pick against my bracket (Tidus > DK) for the first time this year. *wipes away a single tear* Ngamer Says: WCC > Tidus Guest’s Analysis - nintendogirl1 NGirl guest analysis time wooo! First things first, I am a Portal fan. A big Portal fan. If you are one of those people who doesn’t like the Weighted Companion Cube, this is probably not something you want to be reading. You should also rush to the euthanasia clinic and end yorself, because I cannot continue until your bad opinions have been incinerated. Ready to start now? Excellent. The match I clamoured to analyze is a real humdinger of a poll between a longtime Nintendo heavyweight no-one really likes, the main character of a Final Fantasy game that no-one really likes (the character, not the game), a Sonic character that has most likely died with the rest of Sonic Team in a big ball of burning 3-D **** and one of three characters from an innovative puzzler that received rave reviews from the critics. Can you spot where the bias is going yet? First up is the big dumb ape Donkey Kong. Yes, Donkey Kong is here and for the first time he isn’t the only Kong in the contest. Diddy’s awesome showing doesn’t exactly fill you with confidence in the Kong’s though does it? For a character that Board 8 has been trying to get in for years, he showed exactly why he had never gotten in before. No-one cares about Donkey Kong games.DK in my opinion gets his votes for having been a Nintendo character since the very beginning, franchise voting at it’s finest. The chance of an SSBB boost is looking less and less likely after epic fails by Lucario and Diddy, with no characters from it looking good except Falcon and Nintendo’s Big Three. But the most important thing about DK in the contests? He throws everything away with an inexplicably bad day vote. Master Chief and Tommy Vercetti took him to the cleaners and he didn’t fair so well against L-Block either. |
| Master Moltar | Posted 10/3/2008 8:13:04 PM | message detail |
| Next up is Tidus, according to Zachnorn’s
interpretation the B8 wiki describes him as “perhaps the most
underappreciated character of all-time.” I think it was closer to the
mark when Red Shifter tagged him as “The most hated character ever,”
even among rabid Square fans. That may be a little extreme but it would
not shock me in the slightest if Zack creamed Tidus in an SFF blowout
of awesome proportions. Tidus also has been on an ever increasing
plummet from grace in the contest. He started with a 41% showing on
Sonic way back in 2k2, went nearly 50/50 with the Gdorf in 2k3,
sneaking past Shadow by 1500 votes in 2k4 and then getting crushed by
Kirby in 2k5, Squall in 2k6 in an SFF blowout and Leon in 2k7 albeit
with Vivi in the poll alongside him. Tails has been in 4 contests, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2007. He has won only 1 match in all of them and he won with 55% over Viewtiful Joe. Sonic characters are falling apart both in this format and as legitimate character anyway as the series continues to be run into the ground in glorious next-gen 3D. Moving swiftly on... Finally, we have a new entry and complete wildcard in the Weighted Companion Cube or Cubey as I will affectionately call him from now on. It appears I also genderized it. Also when making a match pic, I saw some horrible pictures of Chell and Cubey that well ... there are times when you just wish the internet had never come up with Rule 34. Coming from Portal which is in my opinion the greatest modern puzzle game, being packaged in the Orange Box did wonders in getting what could have been a very cult game exposed to the masses. At the heart of it (ho ho ho), Cubey is a box that appears in level 17 of 19, and is simply a device to push switches with. Give it a heart though and force you to do terrible things, with Glados providing some excellent lines and it has become a phenomenon. Yes it’s a joke character, but like L-Block and Mudkip it comes with a following unlike that of CATS of people who will vote for it for reasons other then the joke. So how will this great mountain of fail with a Companion Cube thrown in work itself out when it comes down to the voters? Tails is fodder and will be getting last although he should manage to get in the high teens. DK and Tidus are virtually neck and neck at this point so expect a tightly fought match between them with Tidus squeaking out victory. But their epic battle will be for second place, because we have seen in L-Block that joke voting is still in fashion and the Cube has it’s solid Portal core that saw GlaDOS reach 30% on Vincent. That is Cubey’s absolute floor and it has the scope to easily reach the Division Fianl, which is where I have it going to. Should it get an L-Block-esque train rolling then expect to see them both in the Final with an end result of Link > Cloud. Won’t that be an awesome end to the contest? Percentage-wise I see it looking something like this: Tails: 18.69% DK: 23.73% Tidus: 24.52% Cube: 33.06% Remember if Cubey loses, the poll is a lie. Crew Consensus: Molt, HM, Lo have Tidus > DK; Yo, Ngame and Ngirl have Cube > Tidus; Tran has DK > Cube. There's no consensus here! |

The reasons for voting for WCC: Portal vote, Hur hur vote(internetz y
so seirus), and the misguided belief he is one of the only contestants
that stands a chance at stopping L-Block. I looked at the brackets, and
I can confidently say: no joke-vote stealing character can stop it
because they won't survive beyond round 2. If L-block continues on its
train no contest stands a chance against it. With that out of the way, go trample your competitors oh noble and faithful Weighted Companion Cube(who totally won't stab you). --- If you read this signature, then you have wasted your time. (:H --- Capt. Bullet, my mascot. |playing: BOF3, SP:DM |

Round 1 Division 5- Match 1 Donkey Kong One of the contest's biggest chokers, will he choke here? Tails One of the contest's biggest chokers, will he choke here? Tidus One of the contest's biggest chokers, will he choke here? Weighted Companion Cube Goddamn it Analysis: A very interesting match indeed. 3 characters that are infamous for their choke jobs, and a joke character. People are calling for Cube to be the next L-block, but it lacks a few things. 1 is instant recognizability. Portal is very niche, as evidenced by GlaDOS flopping. Tetris on the other hand is probably one of the most saturated, highest selling series of all time. This match will be interesting no matter the result as we can learn a few things here. One of which being how Tidus will perform with no other Square character in the poll, something we haven't seen since his match with Kirby. Secondly will be if DK and Tails affect eachother, confirming or debunking the Sonic/Nintendo SFF theories that are floating around. Lastly, we can see if L-block is a one of a kind, or if inanimate objects are the wave of the future. TuRtLe's Prediction: Tidus 28%, DK 26%, Cube 23%, Tails 23% TuRtLe's Bracket: Tidus > DK TuRtLe's Vote: Tails! |
