4
ways have actually been easier for contest regulars. I've ended all 3
4-way contests higher than the 99% percentile(heck usually higher than
99.5 percentile). I don't think I've ever done that well before
consistently. 4ways mess up casuals but regulars excel because of it --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

4-ways
might be the only chance I actually have at getting into the
leaderboard, something that I haven't been able to do yet in the
several contests I've entered so far. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

I
chuckled at Master Chief/Magus, if only because Magus happens to be one
of the few non-fodder characters I can see losing to Chief one-on-one. --- No match for KrahenProphet's extreme Guru skills. |

Kefka should be put into a first round match where people think he can win but ends up disappointing everyone. Honestly I think Epona would win that one with no trouble X_X --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

All I care about is exciting matches that I can't easily predict Then just do a bracket and don't bother following the contest because that's all 4-ways are good for. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "Krahenprophet is lightning...the rain transformed." |

Hey
guys here's a thought. How about instead of trying to think up the
latest gimmick to destroy the contests even further we push for a
return to the old style one v one which we all loved enough for us to
become contest analysts. Just a crazy idea. --- Smurf , The Cream of Sonic Fanboyism |

I
made a topic regarding tag-team character battle a few days ago. I
don't know whether people here have seen it and not interested or
people just plainly have not seen it, so I'll post it here again. Here's an example I have revised using ideas from the topic: Heart Division 1 Link/Ganondorf 8 Zig/CATS 4 Sora/Riku 5 Scorpion/Sub-Zero 3 Squall/Seifer 6 Phoenix Wright/Miles Edgeworth 2 Crono/Magus 7 Fox McCloud/Falco Coin Division 1 Sonic/Robotnik 8 Ness/Giygas 4 Master Chief/Cortana 5 L-Block/Z-Block 3 Auron/Jecht 6 Leon Kennedy/Albert Wesker 2 Samus/Ridley 7 Crash Bandicoot/N. Cortex Flower Division 1 Mario/Bowser 8 Wander/Agro 4 Dante/Vergil 5 Kirby/Dedede 3 Mega Man X/Zero 6 Terra/Kefka 2 Solid Snake/Big Boss 7 Donkey Kong/Diddy Kong HP Division 1 Cloud/Sephiroth 8 Banjo/Jinjo 4 Ryu/Ken 5 Gordon Freeman/Alyx Vance 3 Pikachu/Mewtwo 6 Liquid Snake/Ocelot 2 Mega Man/Dr Wily 7 GLaDOS/WCC The pair must be from the same game, so this is not like those Link/Tanner or Cloud/Tenpenny nonsense. If it's done this way, the bracket won't be cluttered with characters from one game, especially towards the later part of the contest. At the same time, any single game will be represented by two characters instead of just one, making it more 'representative' if you like, and more diverse. And if we expand this, we'll get the same amount of entrants as a 4-way while still making it 1 v 1. Everyone should be happy! Of course there will be a nomination phase, and people can choose which characters to pair as long as they meet the guidelines. I don't know whether it'd be better to set a one pair per game (or even series if it's a short bracket) limit or not. Is it worth seeing Tifa/Aeris and Luigi/Yoshi on top of Cloud/Sephi and Mario/Bowser? hmm... Now let's try to predict this bracket. How will you approach it? Only consider the stronger entrant in the pair or will the weaker entrant bog down the pair? See, THIS will be a blast to predict! So yeah, I think this has potential, and if Bacon only wants to do a short contest for this summer or next spring, this could be a good bracket tbqh --- www.board8.wikia.com ~ The definitive source of GameFAQs Contests And Krahen Prophet said, "Let OoT win," and OoT won. |

Magus
can beat Chief (don't know about will). He's not really that weak, he
just appears weaker than he is thanks to flopping all the time.
Similarly, Frog isn't as strong as he appears, thanks to pulling off
miracle comebacks all the time. --- Krahenprophet he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

North 1 Cloud Strife 16 Ken 8 Bowser 9 Leon Kennedy Cloud > Bowser is pretty obvious here. 5 Ike 12 Frog 4 Yoshi 13 Ryu Ike/Frog would be great to see just for the ASV, but I'm not sure Ike wouldn't already be winning. The stats definitely favor Ryu in the second match, but I just have a feeling Yoshi takes it. So, Yoshi > Ike. 6 Arthas 11 Gordon Freeman 3 Vincent Valentine 14 Red/Ash Vincent wrecks this fourpack, but at least Arthas/Gordon is debatable. Vincent > Gordon. 7 Sora 10 Zelda 2 Megaman 15 Phoenix Wright Sora's been more impressive than Zelda the last two years, but it could still be a close match. Mega Man > Sora. East 1 Solid Snake 16 Marth 8 Mewtwo 9 Tidus Mewtwo isn't weak, but Tidus is out of his league. Snake > Tidus 5 Dante 12 Ryu Hayabusa 4 Charizard 13 Robo We've seen the first match before, and I don't trust Chrono Trigger characters much. Dante already beat Pikachu. Dante > Charizard. 6 Revolver Ocelot 11 Red XIII 3 Samus Aran 14 The Boss At least there's the possibility that Red XIII is overrated. Samus > Red XIII. 7 L-Block 10 Locke Cole 2 Sephiroth 15 The Prince of Persia Not much to say here. Sephiroth > L-Block. South 1 Link 16 Sackboy 8 Kefka 9 Epona As bad as Kefka looks, losing to Epona actually seems probable. And then Link/Epona sets the record for biggest blowout ever. Link > Epona 5 Pikachu 12 Vivi 4 Master Chief 13 Magus You could probably make a decent argument for any of these guys to win. I'll go with... Pikachu > Master Chief? 6 Squall Leonhart 11 Meta-Knight 3 Auron 14 Pac-Man Squall > Auron, but I guess it could go the other way. 7 Kirby 10 Cid Highwind 2 Sonic the Hedgehog 15 Tommy Vercetti I don't think Kirby can beat Sonic in this format, but at least he beats Cid. Sonic > Kirby. West 1 Mario 16 CATS 8 Yuna 9 Saria Mario > Yuna. 5 Luigi 12 Zack Fair 4 Big Boss 13 Zero I like Big Boss/Zero. Shame Luigi wins here just to get stomped by Mario. Luigi > Big Boss. 6 Tifa Lockheart 11 Liquid Snake 3 Ganondorf 14 Riku Ganondorf/Tifa should be a great match. I'll take Ganon > Tifa. 7 Fox McCloud 10 Sub-Zero 2 Crono 15 Ness Fox/Sub-Zero should be interesting. Crono > Fox. Looking at the field, Knuckles, Kratos, Alucard and Donkey Kong are all pretty big snubs IMO. Later Rounds: North 1 Cloud Strife 4 Yoshi 3 Vincent Valentine 2 Mega Man Mega Man should survive Vincent. I hope he does - Cloud/Vincent would be the worst Elite Eight match since Link/Scorpion. Cloud > Mega Man. East 1 Solid Snake 5 Dante 3 Samus Aran 2 Sephiroth Snake/Sephiroth might be good, but if Seph can beat Mario so easily, I can't see why Snake would do much better. Sephiroth > Snake. South 1 Link 5 Pikachu 6 Squall Leonhart 2 Sonic the Hedgehog Squall/Sonic comes down to whether Sonic has completely bombed in popularity or if it's the format making him look weak. I think it's the latter, but then I'm a huge Sonic fan. Link > Sonic. West 1 Mario 5 Luigi 3 Ganondorf 2 Crono Not much to say here. Mario > Crono Final Four: Cloud Sephiroth Link Mario Bleh. Link > Cloud. --- Congrats to KrahenProfit |

Well...
if tag teams were done the way Carvey suggests (just pair up with the
person you relate to the closest), we basically turn the tournament
into a 1v1 Game/Series Contest. Which isn't what we expect out of a
Character Battle, but heck, at least we'd be getting 1v1s back, and
considering 1v1 Games is what we've wanted for years... I guess it
could be okay. Still would much rather see a normal 1v1 or All Fictional, but if tag teams were done that way at least I wouldn't tune the Contest out. --- KrahenProphet is the King of the Gurus! All Hail! thengamer.com/guru | thengamer.com/xstats | board8.wikia.com |

Oh and how has Sora looked more impressive than Zelda in the past two years? Dante/Ryu H is a stupid idea and might even be Same Genre SFF, but Bowser/Leon could be good if only to see how good the 2007 stats are. |

Some initial numbers from the Rally Tournament. New Comers Charizard (Pokemon) – 14 Cid Highwind (Final Fantasy VII) – 14 Seifer Almasy (Final Fantasy VIII) – 11 Jecht (Final Fantasy X) - 10 Otacon (Metal Gear Solid) – 8 Jigglypuff (Pokemon) – 7 Psycho Mantis (Metal Gear Solid) – 7 Archer (Fate/Stay Night) – 6 Red XIII (Final Fantasy VII) – 6 Doc Louis (Punch-Out!!) – 5 Glass Joe (Punch-Out!!) – 5 Laguna Loire (Final Fantasy VIII) - 5 Locke Cole (Final Fantasy VI) – 5 Vault Boy (Fallout) – 5 Yoshimitsu (Tekken) – 5 Yuffie Kisaragi (Final Fantasy VII) - 5 Number of characters with at least 2 nominations: 41 Returners Ken Masters (Street Fighter) - 17 Protoman (Mega Man) - 10 Morrigan (Darkstalkers) – 9 Chun Li (Street Fighter) – 5 Master Hand (Super Smash Bros.) - 5 Strider Hiryu (Strider) - 5 Felix (Golden Sun) - 4 M. Bison (Street Fighter) - 3 Carmen Sandiego (Carmen Sandiego) – 2 Dr. Wily (Mega Man) – 2 Earthworm Jim (Earthworm Jim) – 2 King of All Cosmos (Katamari Damacy) - 2 Number of nominated characters: 30 Depending on how long nominations are open we could push for 128 characters, but some characters may only get one nomination. On the other hand with 64 spots two nominations may not be enough to qualify for the contest. Returners should be kept to 32 IMO since we only have just over 80 characters to work with. I'm actually surprised that Otacon is getting a lot of support and I thought Charizard would steal away from Jigglypuff's support. Morrigan is getting a lot of support as usual, same with Strider. From the way the board has been acting I think Cid may win the NRT. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Krahenprophet for winning the guru contest |

You
know, characters like Charizard and Cid may not need the NRT backing
since they already have a large group that will nominate them unless
something like Jigglypuff or a FFVII wins a spot on the NRT. Kind of
like how Mega Man 2 and Phoenix Wright got so many board nominations
despite not being winners. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Krahenprophet for winning the guru contest |

Seifer
has won a spot on the NRT twice and still failed to enter, sure you can
blame the female bracket, but the other time had 128 spots. I'm pretty
sure Charizard and Cid will get similar support whether or not they get
chosen, unless another character from the series wins the NRT. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/BGE2%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Krahenprophet for winning the guru contest |
HaRRicH | Posted 6/15/2009 8:11:57 AM | message detail |
I
think supporting any FF8-character at this point is just going to be a
lost cause. I didn't realize Seifer failed to take advantage of the
NRT-support twice, but I know he missed the Villain Contest
pre-NRT support and still hasn't made it in despite KH2. Rinoa also
missed the female bracket, Laguna was destroyed by Reno in an
IGN-poll, and I've never seen people open up to the idea of nominating
Zell until recently. We also saw the old FF8-poll where Squall smacked
everyone around, which was pre-KH...and Squall pre-KH was doubled by
Solid back in the day. Throw in the big Square down-turn since then,
and any side-FF8 character is going to have a bad time. I mean, it would be interesting to see one of them, sure, but nothing suggests they'd have any strength -- especially if they are unlucky enough to be in a SFF-situation -- and they have already missed some golden opportunities to get some representation outside of Squall. I don't care to bother with them anymore. --- KrahenProfit: a one-Guru wrecking crew. He savagely abused my bracket. |

I have a feeling getting any
new FF characters into a contest is going to be a tough proposition.
Especially if Cloud and Sephiroth are still allowed in. There are just
too many mainstays, expecially if we're only getting a 64 character 1
on 1 bracket. Hell, even Tifa missed the field in 2007. --- This is the kind of **** that allowed the Bhopal incident to happen. 5,000 dead Indians. Want that on your damn conscience, Square apologists? |

Time to make my case for Red from Pokemon RBY in here (I've done a 180 degree turn from a couple weeks ago on his prospects). Red, like Pokemon RBY in the past contest, has a huge range with a very high ceiling. How high is his ceiling, you ask? Well.....Crono! But that's crazy, isn't it? Is it? Red is the likable silent protagonist of the site's 3rd most popular RPG, 2nd if you take RBY over Chrono Trigger. Crono is the likable silent protagonist of the site's 2nd most popular RPG, 3rd if you take RBY over Chrono Trigger. People seem to become about as emotionally attached to Red as people become attached to Crono, and while his design isn't as cool, he also has a star role in a TV show as Ash. He could be the strongest character in his series, and he does have the highest ceiling. Put Red up against a near-elite, and you get a great Lopen-style upset for the very daring to take. Put him up against a midcarder, and you get an excellent debatable match. But, it is critical that you nominate Red and NOT Pokemon Trainer. Red is a specific character loved by many who have played Pokemon RBY, Pokemon Trainer is a generic term that could be interpreted to mean any Pokemon trainer. Crono would also be really weak if he were listed as "JRPG Silent Protagonist." --- Krahenprophet he come to town to win the Gamefaqs Contests. |

definitely agree "Pokemon Trainer" just sounds terrible; we threw a

giving Red a shot, but I better be encouraged more before I throw a
nomination his way. --- KrahenProfit: a one-Guru wrecking crew. He savagely abused my bracket. |
