Oh man you're right, but man World of Warcraft did that game fuel thing right? I mean I just want equal footing! Yes, Mountain Dew Game Fuel was re-released earlier this year. The original Game Fuel flavor returned (the Halo 3 Game Fuel flavor from 2007), but it is called "Mountain Dew Game Fuel Horde Red" and is being used to promote World of Warcraft. In addition, a new Game Fuel flavor was also released, which is called "Mountain Dew Game Fuel Alliance Blue". I remember back in 2007 when I posted a topic calling for GFF (Game Fuel Factor) to give Master Chief a strength boost. Looks like I was right, because the Chief went all the way up to the semifinals. GFF is going to help out Arthas there. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

"Ash

Japan, is a fictional character in the Pokémon franchise owned by
Nintendo. Created by Satoshi Tajiri as the protagonist of the video
game Pokémon Red and Blue, the character has since appeared as the
protagonist of the related anime and manga series, as well as on
various merchandise related to the franchise." Wait so it says Ash was created as the main character of Pokemon Red/Blue, but his name isn't Ash? OR what? --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png Vote Vault Boy! |

Also, you are dumb if you think a picture of Ash would be stronger than a Classix sprite picture of Ash from Red/Blue. But we already know that you don't understand pokémon in any way. --- Stop trying. |

If
they intended it to be that way, it's changed since then. Ash has a
different design from Red, Red is called Red in the games, ect. Main
character of Pokemon Yellow was Ash, I think, but not Red/Blue. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

They have the same story, the same cast, the same everything. The starters are the same. The differences are literally that something like 8 pokémon aren't available in one but are exclusive to the other. So about the same as the different editions of Nintendigs, or is it unreasonable to lump Chihuahua & Friends in with Labrador & Friends? You had one and your friend had the other. --- Not a biggie. |

Let's assume you meant Noble Niner instead of 1 seed. Megaman could do pretty badly on Cid before you could really call his performance disappointing. I vote Crono, Sonic, or Sephioth. Missingno is a joke and they're always unpredictable, Sonic is Sonic and I'm wary of how this format will treat FFVII, especially Sephiroth. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |

You've

indirect strength. Vincent still holds his Noble Nine Challenger #1

So
what does everyone expect from the vote totals this year? Are we
thinking early SC2K2 numbers (50-75k)? SC2K4 numbers (80-95k)? Or do we
think we'll be able to break 100,000 on a regular basis? I'm predicting 60k on the night matches and 80k on the day matches. It's been suggested before that the people voting only in the day matches would be unlikely to vote in the night matches, while those voting in the night matches would be likely to vote in the day matches. Because of this, I think the weekend night matches might be a little higher than weekday night matches because the people who normally go to sleep early (due to school the next day) wouldn't have to worry about school on the weekend and so they would stay up late enough to vote in the night matches. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

Switched
to Sub-Zero. I like both characters (can't rely on fanboyism) and there
are no arguments that seal the deal for either, so I'm just going with
Tidus's history as a choker. It's basically the same reason I'm going
with Alucard. Are we in agreement that those are pretty much the toughest Round 1 matches, or at least among them? --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Noble Nine is probably more like Link > Cloud > Seph > Mario > Snake > Samus > Sonic > Mega Man > Crono I don't think Snake has what it takes to beat out Mario. As for the bottom 3, I'm not convinced that Sonic is as bad as people think. My general feeling is that the 4-way format was playing tricks with us. He still walloped Crono in 2k6 and I don't really see any reason for that to change. Mega Man/Crono would be a tossup for me. --- If you're seeing this sig, I'm not on my computer! |

Phoenix is a product of the 4ways I think. He was pretty weak in 2006, and I don't see him able to get 50% in a 1v1. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/Albion+Hero.png Vote Vault Boy! |

From: Cyclo_Reaper | #483 Phoenix is a product of the 4ways I think. He was pretty weak in 2006, and I don't see him able to get 50% in a 1v1. Think of it like this: In a Dig Dug/Tanner match SOMEONE has to get 50%, even if only 500 peoploe vote. --- Sad, but true. |

Phoenix
has a night match that's destined to get some of the worst votals of
the contest. If he's simply near Jecht's range, his fanbase can will
him to it for 12 hours. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

We've
seen incredibly weak people win before, I don't like that argument at
all. Phoenix also drew 46k votes in 2006, which is probably enough to
win a half-day match comfortably. I mean, yeah, he's weak, but Jecht? That's not exactly stiff competition. --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |
red sox 777 | Posted 12/16/2009 6:12:55 PM | message detail |
Yeah,
I actually decided to switch to Phoenix in that one. It's hard to guess
where Jecht is, but I thought he could be seen as kind of analogous to
Magus- as in he's as strong relative to other FFX characters as Magus
is relative to CT characters. Only, CT is a stronger game, and Jecht
should be further down the line due to have less screentime and just
getting less attention from the fanbase in general. The other thing is
that Phoenix should be helped a bit by the format if it does turn out
that people who follow the contest (read: early voters) will vote in
either poll. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |
KleenexTissue50 | Posted 12/16/2009 6:14:45 PM | message detail |
Why
are we all assuming Jecht is going to be balls? Because he's never
gotten in before? Because he's an NPC? Neither of those are that great
of arguments I don't think. --- If you're seeing this sig, I'm not on my computer! |
red sox 777 | Posted 12/16/2009 6:17:05 PM | message detail |
Well,
how close do you think he'll be to Tidus/Yuna/Rikku in strength? I
figure he'll be a good deal weaker than them at least (as in 55-45
minimum indirectly), and you really don't have to go too far below that
before you do reach Phoenix level, especially with a 12-hour poll to
help him out. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |
RPGuy96 | Posted 12/16/2009 6:17:44 PM | message detail |
Because
he's, well, Jecht, and pretty much every FF villain outside of
Sephiroth is balls. Jecht is almost certainly weaker than Tidus by a
wide margin, and that's not terribly strong. --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 12/16/2009 6:17:56 PM | message detail |
New
characters are always going to be doubted. Jecht was never talked about
until we had pretty much exhausted the well of contest characters, Sin
lost to Robotnik, and Phoenix is veteran of these things now (albeit a
weak one). Combine those with the assumption that this format can help
guys like Phoenix, and there you go. He seems like an alright pick. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

win a half-day match comfortably. I mean, yeah, he's weak, but Jecht? That's not exactly stiff competition. Jecht would surely be weaker than Gordon, who already defeated Phoenix in 2006. I'd give Phoenix a chance at pulling off a win here. Even though Jecht has the night vote, Phoenix should do fine with the dead zone and morning vote.

It's
just too easy to imagine Phoenix jumping out to a huge 30 minute lead
while his fanbase realizes they only have to hold it for half the time
(and realizing he'd also be guaranteed to win the next round). Jecht
has to be legitimately a couple of notches above Phoenix to get around
that. I'd rather trust the guy with crazy fans and a crazy early vote. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Phoenix
really didn't do badly in 2006. He pulled off a respectable 42% to
Gordon- yes it wasn't the Gordon we know now, but it wasn't classic
GFNW fodder Gordon either. He was projected through Gordon and Sora to
get 27.57% on Megaman. --- 6 years later, Crono's quest to defeat Sephiroth -- Round 1: Missingno 'Till shade is gone, 'till water is gone, into the shadow with teeth bared.... |
