From: machinegungeek | Posted: 12/28/2009 2:38:11 PM | #148 Kirby likely beat Sonic due to beating MC. I have no doubts the casuals picked him to reach the finals after beasting on 2k7, which is why Kirby then proceeded to bandwagon: casuals thought "WHOAOMG HE KILLED A POTENTIAL CONTENDER KIRBY = BEAST" and decided to take him further. And you quote messages with GameFOX. ;) --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |

I don't get why Kirby is suddenly classified as top of the food chain outside of the 9. After L block's outrageous antics I think people would take these results with a grain of salt. Snake beat Cloud, so Clinkeroth must be dead right! Auron beat SNOIC too so Auron + Kirby + Snake = Snakirburon are coming for YOU Clinkeroth! --- Signature |

My words on some issues: Alucard/Magus - As both Chrono Trigger and SotN have been going down on this site, I'm banking on the fact that Magus comes from the more popular game. Plus people will want to vote for him to see a rematch against Link! Drake/The Boss - Well, I was swayed by you guys, and decided to pick The Boss. She may be unreliable, but a character who lost to CATS isn't going to defeat a character from one of the site's top 20 games. Yep, according to the 2006 x-stats The Boss scores 64% on CATS. Sonic/Kirby/Ganondorf - I now have Sonic winning the match. Kirby did kinda sorta benefit from bandwagoning last year. Of course, people might want to vote for Kirby to prevent all 1 seeds from making the elite eight. I honestly think Ganondorf has no chance against Sonic though; I mean Sonic may be choking, but he's not going to be losing to somebody who gets SFFd by SAMUS. Altair/Liquid Snake - I gotta hear a REALLY good argument for Altair winning here. Mario/Big Boss - Yes, this will be quite interesting. Ryu H./M. Chief - If Ryu breaks 70% on Crash Bandicoot then I'll be joining the bandwagon. For now, though, I think Chief has it covered. L-Block/Charizard/Kratos - I personally think Charizard is going to win this trio. He's one of the most popular characters from one of the site's most popular games; there's no way he DOESN'T have this. And why are people arguing otherwise? Phoenix Wright/Jecht - Why isn't this getting more attention? Have we all assumed that Phoenix wins handily? I do. Leon/Ryu/Dante - I originally picked Ryu to win this trio, but now I changed my mind to Dante. Leon certainly isn't doing anything and is squarely last in this trio. Snake/Protoman - How much do you wager Protoman gets? We've seen him in a contest before, but he was, uh, SFFd by Zero there. Revan/Terra - I think Terra will win this on the Final Fantasy name alone. Snake/Squall - "Squall inreased 8% in four years! Come 2010, he might have a chance at a rematch. <_<" Seems like Ulti got his wish! I don't think Snake will lose though, if only because of the awesome MGS4 boost. Vincent/Guybrush - HOW THE HELL DID GUYBRUSH GET BACK INTO THE CONTEST??? HOW THE HELL DID HE GET A 9 SEED??? HOW THE HELL WAS THIS DIVISION RIGGED SO THAT WE COULD SEE SEPHIROTH/VINCENT IN ROUND 2??? IN REALITY WE SHOULD BE SEEING A 4/5 MATCH BETWEEN VINCENT AND CRONO!!! |

From: LinkMarioSamus | #172 So, you have Squall > Auron as a sure thing? What's your reasoning? Main character > side character leading to SFF? As a FF fan I don't know who is over who in this hierarchy. Revan will beat Terra. FF6 =/= character battles. I'm happy someone else likes Mario/BB :) I like Alucard over Magus. He was kind of in the new DS games and stuff. And Magus is falling like a rock. Agree w/ Altair/Liquid. I mean, he isn't even in AC2 and everyone who played AC said that Altair was a lousy character. For Charizard, L-block may or may not be solid mid-carder level and Kratos is tough. And has GoW 3 on the horizon. Though you may convince me of Char>L-block... And ND needs PS3 boost. But he can't be CATS-fodder weak again, can he? |

Alucard/Magus
- As both Chrono Trigger and SotN have been going down on this site,
I'm banking on the fact that Magus comes from the more popular game.
Plus people will want to vote for him to see a rematch against Link! As we can see from GTA, popular game =/= votes for the character. Mario/Big Boss - Yes, this will be quite interesting. IF Big Boss gets a Naked Snake picture, he could get 40+%. Match isn't interesting besides that. Ryu H./M. Chief - If Ryu breaks 70% on Crash Bandicoot then I'll be joining the bandwagon. For now, though, I think Chief has it covered. Wouldn't surprise me to see Ryu H get 70% just because who the **** cares about Crash? Crash got beat by KOS-MOS and it wasn't even close, it was 61%. Yeah, MC got a 70% win on Crash... and he's anti-voted down to 55% wins almost every time. That means people hate Crash even more than Master Chief. CATS scored better than Crash on the Chief, that speaks ****ing volumes. Ryu H would have to score 80% for me to really worry about the Chief. L-Block/Charizard/Kratos - I personally think Charizard is going to win this trio. He's one of the most popular characters from one of the site's most popular games; there's no way he DOESN'T have this. And why are people arguing otherwise? Uhhh.. you do realize Kratos is a good midcarder right? And we saw how some Pokemon like Lucario and Mewtwo (who has SSB to boot to back him) did. They do get support but I doubt it's enough to beat a guy as strong as Kratos, who has GoW3 coming soon. --- http://www.last.fm/user/VinnyMendoza "This is all we have... when we die.." |

Phoenix Wright/Jecht - Why isn't this getting more attention? Have we all assumed that Phoenix wins handily? I do. People are assuming Phoenix wins? I guess I don't doubt it, but I can't see why. I'm not sure how this fad made 3 seed, but then again much of the seeding in this bracket is perplexing. Also, could anyone fill me in on some of the popular opinions on L-Block/Charizard/Kratos? I must have missed the discussion, but it seems like everyone is assuming L will do poorly in this format. This one seems difficult because Kratos hasn't shown excessive strength, but is stable, while L-block has erratic strength. Charizard is obviously unknown, but has a sort of gut-shot power factor. --- 4th place in Summer Contest 2k4 |

Alucard/Magus
- As both Chrono Trigger and SotN have been going down on this site,
I'm banking on the fact that Magus comes from the more popular game.
Plus people will want to vote for him to see a rematch against Link! I don't think either will be a factor in whoever wins. Drake/The Boss - Well, I was swayed by you guys, and decided to pick The Boss. She may be unreliable, but a character who lost to CATS isn't going to defeat a character from one of the site's top 20 games. Yep, according to the 2006 x-stats The Boss scores 64% on CATS. The female half x-stats are overrated, plus she performed better in 2007. Sonic/Kirby/Ganondorf - I now have Sonic winning the match. Kirby did kinda sorta benefit from bandwagoning last year. Of course, people might want to vote for Kirby to prevent all 1 seeds from making the elite eight. I honestly think Ganondorf has no chance against Sonic though; I mean Sonic may be choking, but he's not going to be losing to somebody who gets SFFd by SAMUS. Kirby is not better than Ganondorf, getting 39% on Samus is pretty close to what he did in 2005 and Kirby hasn't exactly shown that he can contend with him. Altair/Liquid Snake - I gotta hear a REALLY good argument for Altair winning here. There isn't one, the only way Altair is going to win is if we have a major site shift toward western games. Mario/Big Boss - Yes, this will be quite interesting. Naked Snake got 35% in 2007, while he probably got a boost from MGS4 it won't be enough to challenge Mario. Ryu H./M. Chief - If Ryu breaks 70% on Crash Bandicoot then I'll be joining the bandwagon. For now, though, I think Chief has it covered. Chief is the favourite in that match, but 70% may be a bit much, Crash has looked a lot better over the years, but that may be due to the format. L-Block/Charizard/Kratos - I personally think Charizard is going to win this trio. He's one of the most popular characters from one of the site's most popular games; there's no way he DOESN'T have this. And why are people arguing otherwise? Same reason why Terra didn't defeat Dante or Kerrigan didn't make a match against Vincent, Games =/= Characters. Phoenix Wright/Jecht - Why isn't this getting more attention? Have we all assumed that Phoenix wins handily? I do. I agree that this match should have more discussion since the winner also wins round 2, but right now I can tell you that the board is siding with Jecht. Leon/Ryu/Dante - I originally picked Ryu to win this trio, but now I changed my mind to Dante. Leon certainly isn't doing anything and is squarely last in this trio. I agree that Leon won't defeat the winner of Dante/Ryu unless you think the guy got a mysterious RE5 boost. Snake/Protoman - How much do you wager Protoman gets? We've seen him in a contest before, but he was, uh, SFFd by Zero there. Maybe 25% Revan/Terra - I think Terra will win this on the Final Fantasy name alone. Games =/= Characters. Snake/Squall - "Squall inreased 8% in four years! Come 2010, he might have a chance at a rematch. <_<" Seems like Ulti got his wish! I don't think Snake will lose though, if only because of the awesome MGS4 boost. Squall will have a harder time against Auron than Snake will against Squall Vincent/Guybrush - HOW THE HELL DID GUYBRUSH GET BACK INTO THE CONTEST??? HOW THE HELL DID HE GET A 9 SEED??? HOW THE HELL WAS THIS DIVISION RIGGED SO THAT WE COULD SEE SEPHIROTH/VINCENT IN ROUND 2??? IN REALITY WE SHOULD BE SEEING A 4/5 MATCH BETWEEN VINCENT AND CRONO!!! Guybrush was able to reach a 64-character bracket so he always gets nominated. I agree that the Jenova Division was wasted with the exception of Soap/BD/Ness. |

Also,
could anyone fill me in on some of the popular opinions on
L-Block/Charizard/Kratos? I must have missed the discussion, but it
seems like everyone is assuming L will do poorly in this format. This
one seems difficult because Kratos hasn't shown excessive strength, but
is stable, while L-block has erratic strength. Charizard is obviously
unknown, but has a sort of gut-shot power factor. As seen in four-ways jokes tend to stablize at a certain percent which tends to be lower than 50%, that doesn't mean it'll lose to anybody, but it does mean the character will take a drop in strength. Also because Kratos easily defeated L-Block before the joke got out of hand in 2007. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Submit bracket here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=52670380 |

From: machinegungeek | Posted: 12/28/2009 8:04:50 PM | #174 I can't speak for LMS, but my reasonins is simple. Squall's comfortably beaten Sora AND Tidus before. In both cases, he took the character's fanbase and made them look pretty bad, handily defeating them. Auron's base is basically a mix of KH's and FFX's. Since Squall has shown he can steal both of those from Auron, I'm taking him to win comfortably, 57-43 style. --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |
Not_Wylvane | Posted 12/28/2009 9:32:17 PM | message detail |
As
for Kratos/Charizard/L-Block, I'm going Kratos > Charizard >
L-Block. Kratos has already beat L-Block before, plus Kratos is just
getting stronger. I think Charizard will be on the stronger end of the
Pokemon food chain, enough to take out L-Block, but I honestly don't
know if I'd take Pikachu over Kratos 1v1 here, and I'm not betting on
Charizard pulling it off. I do think some people are underrating
L-Block just because it's a joke and this is 1v1, as it should have no
problem at all with HK-47 and should pull off some impressive
performances, but at the same time its path is set in stone. I don't
think L-Block's chances are zero, but it's a huge upset pick for it to
make the division finals. Charizard has a decent chance, but Kratos is
a solid favorite, and honestly I have Kratos > Sora as my big upset
pick this contest. For Sonic/Ganondorf/Kirby, again, Sonic > Ganondorf > Kirby. Four-ways really mucked some stuff up, so it's really hard to tell who exactly is the strongest Nintendo character after the big three. Ganondorf is probably the favorite for that position, but fluke performances or not I'm not completely ruling out Luigi, Kirby, or Pikachu until I see how they fare this contest. Again, I think people are underrating Kirby (OK, just Charmander), and if anyone got a boost from HAL's Brawl besides Snake and Sonic, it'd be HAL mascot Kirby, who's plastered throughout the game and even has two other characters from his series involved. Kirby could outperform Ganondorf on Sonic, and it wouldn't surprise me. Of course, it wouldn't be proof that Kirby > Ganondorf if that happens due to a potentially smaller bandwagon from people who remember the 2008 results and all those arguments about the Dorf sucking at SFF situations, but it'd definitely make Kirby look impressive. But yeah, Sonic should be the favorite. I don't see Ganondorf or Kirby beating him. However, I do see Sonic performing embarrassingly bad. I think Sonic/Ganondorf will be very close the whole match, and I actually see Kirby leading Sonic for at least 30 minutes or so, maybe even an hour or longer, before Sonic takes the lead. I think Sonic will win, but it'll be a Solid ****-level victory, where it'll be hilariously embarrassing and just further cement Sonic's position on being the ass of the Noble Nine. Except in Sonic's case, he won't have Sonic the Hedgehog 4 or the next Smash Bros game to bring him to superhuman strength. --- Not Wylvane |

But
maybe Project Needlemouse will make him decent again. Hey, it might be
working for Megaman, you can't rule out Sega doing it as well...completely. I'd say he has 5% odds of actually slowly regaining gaming's respect again! --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |

From: KanzarisKelshen | #181 Good point, but Auron is not Tidus or Sora in that he is indirectly stronger than both. Also, in last year's competition, didn't Sora hang pretty close to Squall (admittedly, Smilin' Squall)? Though he did beat him next round 60/40. I'm predicting a match that's dead close, a la Squall/Vincent. |

Mario/Big Boss - Yes, this will be quite interesting. Big Boss with a naked snake photo facing Mario in the night, i am expecting Big Boss to score 40-44% in this match. L-Block/Charizard/Kratos - I personally think Charizard is going to win this trio. He's one of the most popular characters from one of the site's most popular games; there's no way he DOESN'T have this. And why are people arguing otherwise? Just because Charizard is from one of most popular games on this site, that doesn't necessarily mean that he is going to beat a established solid-midcarder. FF6 was once a top 10 game on gamefaqs and you don't see Terra and Kefka ever doing anything impressive in this contest. Charizard winning is not a lock. Leon/Ryu/Dante - I originally picked Ryu to win this trio, but now I changed my mind to Dante. Leon certainly isn't doing anything and is squarely last in this trio. The only thing that i can agree with you. Snake/Protoman - How much do you wager Protoman gets? We've seen him in a contest before, but he was, uh, SFFd by Zero there. 22-28%. Revan/Terra - I think Terra will win this on the Final Fantasy name alone. I bet Revan will win this based on his name "Darth" alone. |
LinkMarioSamus | Posted 12/29/2009 4:42:47 AM | message detail |
After hearing the responses, here goes what I think now: Okay, so Alucard > Magus actually seems to be the majority pick. Then again, Magus wouldn't likely have done better on Alucard's first round fourpack in '08 (Falcon might've even broken 43% on him!), so I suppose I'll take your arguments. Bracket pick will change for me, but I'd still like to hear arguments for both. Mario/Big Boss will only be interesting to see how well Mario scores on Big Boss. We could get a repeat of Mario/Shadow here perhaps! Minus the fact that we'll have seen BB doing well coming. Okay, I suppose I'll take Kratos to beat Charizard now, and L-Block will probably get toasted no matter who it faces. Kratos did sneak through an SFFd Tifa, after all. Would Charizard do the same? Who knows? I dunno about Terra. She did beat Kerrigan, and StarCraft > KOTOR on this site, even if not on Empire Magazine (except that there SMG > RE1 > BioShock > KOTOR > MGS4, blah). But there is a point about Darth Revan having the name "Darth." Plus Revan is the higher seed. Bracket pick changes for me. On Soap/BD/Ness, I think Soap will whoop Big Daddy because CoD4 > BioShock on this site, even if not on destructoid (but there Civ3 > both of them, blah), and Soap is a support character from CoD4 while Big Daddy is the main villain of BioShock. BD probably does have the icon factor, though. I'm banking on Soap's seeding saving him from the upset. Ness will likely kill him; GTA: SA > CoD4 at this site (even if not at Edge Magazine), so Ness could probably score like 60%. However I have to think that Ness is weaker than Peach (I doubt Peach would get SFFd by Mewtwo that much, let alone enough to lose to freaking PAC-MAN). Actually yeah, MIDNA > Ness, and somehow I think Peach would be on Midna's level. Oh well, just say that Peach > Ness for now. Which means that the poor boy is toast against Tifa, and would be toast there even if Gordon somehow beat Tifa (lol!). |

Does Auron have a shot against Squall? I mean, if an optional character like Vincent Valentine can defeat Squall, why not the most popular character from the 2nd most popular FF game? It's not outside the realm of possibility, but everything we've seen points to Squall being nearly equal to Vincent, while Auron is always a step lower. Dissidia coming out this year and featuring Squall but not Auron certainly doesn't help things. --- http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

How strong is Big Boss if he gets an awesome Naked Snake Pic? --- Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die. |

Actually, Dissidia only did about 300k or so in the States, but it did do about a million in Japan. --- the journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step |

We'll
see what Dissidia does when we start seeing its characters in action.
Most of them haven't been featured in tens or hundreds of games
already, so the potential is there for some boosting. Until then there
exists potential for a boost, though it'll almost certainly be small. I agree that people are underrating L-Block's chances. This isn't the same L-Block that showed up in rounds 1 and 2 of 2007- this is an L-Block that a large group of voters know was contest champion before. We saw this last year in round 1 when L-Block beat Ryu, whom I think most of us would take over Kratos or Charizard, while displaying the trends of a normal character. Then the question is: how intransitive and nonlinear is this L-Block? The next round Crono was added to the poll, and L beat Ryu without a struggle this time as expected.......but he only got 54% on him. Replacing Meta-Knight and the Dog with Crono and Ammy cut Ryu's percentage from 32% to 24%, and L-Block's percentage from 32% to 28%. The Block was not linear.....but neither was he static. It's not enough to make L a good upset pick against the Kratos/Charizard winner, but don't count him out completely. --- 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.... |

Ganondorf
is probably the favorite for that position, but fluke performances or
not I'm not completely ruling out Luigi, Kirby, or Pikachu until I see
how they fare this contest. Don't forget about Zelda. She's looked just as popular if not more so than Ganondorf every year they've been in together. --- "Heh, heh...The wind...it is blowing."--Ganondorf This is Yesmar. |

How strong is Big Boss if he gets an awesome Naked Snake Pic? IMHO, judging from his performance last year, i think he should be at the very least a low tier near elite (someone like Dante, Ryu, Bowser, Yoshi). |

So
the board 8 wiki has the schedule... one thing I noticed was odd -
somewhat bold predictions. We so sure about these? For example: Thursday, Feb 25th Day - Zelda vs Ezio So Ezio>Belmont is a lock? There are some others there that I question too.... http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Character_Battle_8_Poll_Start_Times --- |

I
can't wait to see Link blow out other characters again. It's been too
long. Fortunately this year Link won't be going below 60%, hopefully
65%, until the final. 85% hopefully on Thrall, 80% definitely, 70%,
maybe 75% on Magus/Alucard barring another Magus overperformance, 70%
on the winner of Red/MMX, 70% on Sonic (he can do it!)......beautiful. --- 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.... |
