What have you got against the Bible, Ulti?


I have nothing against the bible (I have five of just the Christian version, not counting all the other ones I've read up on).

Zealots who use it as an excuse/crutch to act like hypocritical idiots, persecute others and generally treat people like crap deserve all the crap that gets flung at them, like Republicans with their family values on camera, cheating with staff members off camera nonsense.

So we can agree extremists and hypocrites suck. Awesome.

Now make another topic for that mess.

It's not quite the stats topic without Turtle, Albion, MWC and Wylvane working their magic.

oh they won't make the field...if it's a 64 character contest.
128 feels so greedy.

don't put Wylvane in the same class as those other guys, he can actually be funny (and even insightful once a month!)

HaRRicH | Posted 11/21/2009 2:27:07 PM | message detail
True, but we'll probably also see Charizard and Red make their debut...and Jigglypuff has a chance too. That'll counteract the loss too, depending on how much people think they'll make it in.

hat should we expect from charizard and red though?
Compared to say Mewtwo and Pikachu, stronger, weaker or in between the two, there's quite a bit of range between those two.
Honestly I don't see Red being anything other than fodder though i keep nominating him every year, but Charizard could be close to pikachu imo/

I have a feeling Nintendo is going to lay an egg this year (with the exception of the Mario crew, ironically including Yoshi). Expect to see at most, 10 of the Smash crew (Snake/Sonic included). I'm curious to see who, if anyone, from this year's games makes it into the contest. Noone stands out off the top of my head.
HaRRicH | Posted 11/21/2009 2:36:42 PM | message detail
Ten at most? Uh...2002 had nine, and that was before we had nominations, 128 characters in our brackets, or SSBB.

I'm not sold on either Charizard or Red getting in. I have a lot of faith in Red in a contest setting, but in a nomination setting he seems the kind of guy that would easily fly under the radar. And Charizard got a lot of support last year too, and didn't get in.

HaRRicH | Posted 11/21/2009 2:41:17 PM | message detail
It's hard for me to imagine any Poke-character aside from Pikachu gets decent nomination-support outside of B8 (ignoring jokes), but that's not stopped the bunch we've seen before...and Charizard's support this time is bound to be more than what it was last year. Mewtwo made it as the NRT-champion, so Charizard gets his chance now.

10 is pretty low, even if we only have a 64 character bracket the following will most likely get in.

Bowser
Donkey Kong
Ganondorf
Kirby
Link
Luigi
Mario
Pikachu
Samus
Yoshi
Zelda

That's already eleven plus characters like Fox and Ness could sneak in and Captain Falcon, Ike, Jigglypuff, Red, Charizard, Mewtwo, Meta Knight, Peach and Wario are long shots.

You know we should finish the list for the series

Ice Climbers (Popo)
Jigglypuff
Mr. Game & Watch
Pichu
Pokemon Trainer (Charizard/Ivysaur/Squirtle)
ROB
Roy
Wolf

no way is jiggly getting in over either Red or Charizard though, I'd still love to see Oak in a contest one day, his anime counterpart isn't hated like Ash and he's the guy who gave you your first pokemon for a lot of gamers, so the nostalgia factor should be really high.

KamikazePotato | Posted 11/21/2009 2:56:04 PM | message detail
Although being listed in the database as Pokemon Trainer Red increases his chances a lot more than Red does. I'm kind of surprised we never thought of just combining the two possible names for him. Score one for Bacon!

Well, that comment was made on the assumption that we're having a normal 64-character bracket (stupid assumption). And 11 is pretty damn close to 10

And how the hell did you post that? When I copy/pasted, it came up saying there was a banned word in there (hint, look between Yoshi and Zelda), which is odd for a couple of reasons

It's a stupid line break error that's existed on GameFAQs for years without getting fixed. I BLAME TRE FOR THIS.

*sigh*

Black Turtle and Ulti enter in the same topic. At least this means we're getting a contest.

On topic, I'm very much looking forward to seeing Zack this year, he better get in. I don't think the other FFVII characters have much of a chance...correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think we've ever seen Aerith and Tifa in the same year, so for Cid or Red to get in probably means Tifa or Vincent gets snubbed. And that seems very unlikely.

Well there's Sonic and Snake as well so it's 13 plus potential others. Which of the 11 characters charmander6000 listed did you think would not make a 64 character bracket?(Assuming no company caps)

I also said 64 characters as a bare minimum. If we have 128 (more likely) then we`ll easily get more than 10 smash characters.

That is a good point about the FF7 character cap. Hmm, if we get Cid Highwind in, it might kick out Tifa or hell, maybe even Zack. Lets hope it kicks out Vincent since nobody likes him.
