voltch (#237) why is Amano art so ugly? it's well drawn but it ain't exactly easy on the eye. It's not ugly, I like it. It's just not contest pic material. |

well it's ugly for match pics,I don't mind the larger pics which look
like paintings,but individual character models can be an eyesore. --- Del Boy:He who dares, wins! |

Good to see some support for my fave FF6 characters. I saw Sabin's name
pop up in a couple nom-rally discussion topics this year pre-contest,
so that's why i had some hope B8 would get behind nom'ing him or Shadow
(or better yet both!). Waiting for a FF6 remake probably would be best
though. Man i wish Square had put Sabin in Dissidia instead of f'ing
Terra, he's such a better fit for a fighting game. --- Proud member of the A1 Steak Sauce Guild |

Well of course Mog would do well, he's a freaking moogle... and he has
at least a cameo in many FF games. Which is why i wouldn't nom him to
represent FFVI, he's more representative of the series as a whole. I
will definitely nom him if there's a rally for him though. --- Proud member of the A1 Steak Sauce Guild |

We don't need more FFVI characters, at least until we've had a few more
FFVII characters who would actually be fairly strong: Cid, Red XIII,
and Yuffie at least. I think Rufus Shinra would be a decent midcarder
too. --- Crono's quest to kick L-Block out of this contest: Round 2: Crono > L-Block > Ryu > Amaterasu |

Hmmm. Is the Ammy day vote failing us? She's been hovering around that 16.50% for the past 4 hours without any gains. She gained about 1.5% from the freeze till the night vote ended, though, for some reason --- "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses." --Ezekiel 23:20 |

It's a weekend, so the day vote is weaker than usual, and Ammy isn't a
day character anyway- she's rather balanced. Crono, however, is as bad
or worse at the early morning as he is during the day. --- Crono's quest to kick L-Block out of this contest: Round 2: Crono > L-Block > Ryu > Amaterasu |

I was thinking CATS for the fodder line since he's just about the strongest fodder character out there right? --- Del Boy:He who dares, wins! |
| HaRRicH | Posted 10/26/2008 12:54:25 PM | message detail |
| I think whichever character "decides" the
fodder-line should be somebody who doesn't really suffer SFF from
people much/ever but still looks to be a regular based on trends. They
should also have enough respect to be able to deem people as above or
below fodder strictly off of how they compare to the character.
So...Kefka would be a good choice if he hasn't been laughed at the past
few years -- the fodder line should have some remaining respect so we
don't just say "Oh, he only beat Kefka, nobody cares" or "He actually
LOST to Kefka?! What a terrible character!" We've also seen him SFF'd
by Crono and he could probably be SFF'd by other characters (Cloud
didn't last year, but I suspect because he was already driven to his
most hardcore fans). I would like to make a motion for Duke Nukem to be the new fodder line, at least for this format. He barely beat Altair, fairly beat Niko, and more soundly beat Kefka yet is still in his realm. This would put Marth just a little bit above the fodder line. He also beat Gordon last year pre-OB, so -- while we know Gordon would win now (as R2 showed us last year) -- Duke's not going to be easily SFF'd (if you would say that match had SFF; I personally would). He's made several one-on-one brackets, and based on his returns in this format and surprise victories, he is probably here to stay awhile. Any disagreements? --- NRT winners: Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Star Fox 64, Donkey Kong Country 2 Remember these games! |

Man, I'm glad the last couple of days had boring matches. Easy for me
to catch up on the stats topic! Impressed by Crono's showing here and
glad the Block isn't doing so well. It almost seems like a normal
character now. I can only hope so anyway! ...This is just an excuse to give me false hope about Tidus beating the Cube later on anyway! Whoo, Tidus for round 3! --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: Sora, Fox McCloud, Yoshi |

Chart from two days ago: Time | Samus | Nightmare | Ganondorf | Frog EBV | 37.71% | 12.79% | 26.26% | 23.23% | (0:00-0:05) PHV | 39.93% | 12.46% | 25.10% | 22.51% | (0:00-1:00) FNV | 39.81% | 15.07% | 23.24% | 21.88% | (1:00-6:00) BSV | 41.09% | 15.61% | 24.71% | 18.59% | (6:00-9:00) DSV | 39.97% | 14.90% | 24.78% | 20.35% | (9:00-14:30) ASV | 40.35% | 16.02% | 25.20% | 18.43% | (14:30-22:00) SNV | 40.39% | 16.51% | 24.08% | 19.02% | (22:00-24:00) Man, Nightmare's first hour was so bad that it neutralized Frog's powerful night vote. And for some reason, Samus didn't really drop with the night vote at all either. Ganondorf took a bit of a dip there though. Frog dropped a good bit with the day vote. Nightmare's actually got a pretty good day vote, seems like. Man, that early vote was horrible though. The stats: Samus Aran – 50.00% Ganondorf – 37.98% Frog – 33.14% Nightmare – 27.49% Division 3, Top Half Samus Aran – 50.00% Ganondorf – 37.98% Frog – 33.14% KOS-MOS – 28.66% Nightmare – 27.49% Crash Bandicoot – 24.45% Neku Sakuraba – 16.75% Raz – 13.63% Didn't both to adjust for Samus/Ganondorf/Frog messiness here. For one, it's hard to say exactly how much LFF was involved. If I left Ganon alone and made Frog proportional to him, he dips slightly below Nightmare, so that didn't work either. I didn't want to make an arbitrary adjustment, so I just left it as is. I adjusted Crash and Raz based on Nightmare's new value though. --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: Sora, Fox McCloud, Yoshi |

Yeah, Guybrush is too weak to be the fodder line. That said, our
midcard range is pretty large, so it makes sense that there should be
more midcarders than fodder characters. I actually like Kefka as fodder
line- yes, he was SFF'd by Crono, but seeing as he didn't appear to be
harmed by Cloud, Crono is possibly the only character who can SFF him-
maybe Magus and Frog too. Either way, that's not too bad. --- Crono's quest to kick L-Block out of this contest: Round 2: Crono > L-Block > Ryu > Amaterasu |

Yesterday's chart: Time | Vincent | Falco | Scorpion | Freeman EBV | 36.09% | 18.96% | 20.50% | 24.45% | (0:00-0:05) PHV | 37.55% | 17.17% | 19.98% | 25.30% | (0:00-1:00) FNV | 40.60% | 14.01% | 19.13% | 26.27% | (1:00-6:00) BSV | 41.84% | 15.86% | 17.57% | 24.73% | (6:00-9:00) DSV | 39.37% | 18.09% | 18.70% | 23.83% | (9:00-14:30) ASV | 40.17% | 16.77% | 19.11% | 23.95% | (14:30-22:00) SNV | 42.03% | 15.79% | 19.29% | 22.89% | (22:00-24:00) Falco with the good board vote and Vincent with the bad one, and they just decide to trade percentages at the end of the hour. Seriously, Falco's night vote there was just pathetic. Managed to recover a good bit during the day though. Gordon went down progressively through each demographic for the most part, and Scorpion went back and forth. Had a bad early morning vote, for some reason. Scorpion's usually fairly consistent. By the way, I'm almost starting to think Gordon loses in round 1 on purpose. He's done it twice to Duke and now to Scorpion: Lose by a small margin in round 1 and win by a large margin in round two, all the while still failing to get first place. If it hadn't been for Phoenix Wright! And what pic is he going to get anyway? Is someone going to submit a pic of Gordon holding an awesome weapon from first person view? Stats for yesterday's match: Vincent Valentine – 50.00% Gordon Freeman – 37.94% Scorpion – 32.11% Falco Lombardi – 29.21% Division 3, Bottom Half Vincent Valentine – 50.00% Gordon Freeman – 37.94% Scorpion – 32.11% Falco Lombardi – 29.21% Balthier Bunansa – 27.43% Big Daddy – 24.82% GlaDOS – 24.05% Wander – 11.15% I adjusted Scorpion/Gordon's fourpack off of Scorpion because adjusting it off of Gordon puts Balthier over Scorpion, so that doesn't work. Adjusted the rest of Vinny's fourpack off of this round's Falco, which makes a lot more sense, obviously. Big Daddy and GlaDOS for a barnburner, eh? --- Squall Leonhart's Path to the CBVII Championship Round 2: Sora, Fox McCloud, Yoshi |
