I always thought Pokemon Trainer Red was Ash Ketchum. =\ They're all the same guy. Red, Red, Pokemon Trainer, Ash... they're all the same, they've just had divergent evolutions. except game Red and PT.

I know that Red and Blue are different in Gold/Silver, but I don't
think I got how Red and Blue were supposed to be different between ...
Red and Blue. --- In my first sig change in years, I salute Krahenprophet, winner of the Guru and of BGE2009. Huzzah! |

I
didn't notice Albion said Base Link. Well, 35% for Tifa on Base Link
sounds a lot more reasonable, but is also irrelevant to the original
issue. Here's the list of the characters who have broken 35% on Link: Cloud Strife (2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 [5 times], 2007 [2 times], 2008) Sephiroth (2002, 2005, 2006, 2007) Mario (2002, 2007) Crono (2004, 2008*) Samus Aran (2003) L-Block (2007) Solid Snake (2008) Vincent Valentine (2007*) *Denotes beneficial LFF situation --- 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.... |

The
only reason I picked Auron > Squall is because FFX >> FF8 on
this site. Games don't mean much, but when we have two characters that
are neck and neck without any evidence pointing to who's stronger,
choosing the stronger game isn't such a bad idea in my mind. --- "Calling Pokemon RBY a top 10 game was the most insane contest jibba-jabba ever Woe unto he who sig bets with the near-invincible Lord High creativename |

Not that match. The round 2 match is the one where he broke 35%, and Zelda and Bidoof were in it. --- 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.... |

And
heck, we don't have a solid read on Auron in ANY year except for 2006,
strangely enough. That guy ends up behind SFF every year somehow. (Squall's pretty cleanly ahead of him in 2006, for the record) --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

Data on Liquid looks a lot better than data on Altair, screwy or not. If you assume Link didn't SFF Mario and Mario didn't SFF Luigi, Liquid is projected to get 53.09% on Altair in 2008. That's close enough to take Altair on the basis of Assassin's Creed too, but it's also about as optimistic as it gets using 2008 stats. --- 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.... |

I
never realized Pokemon Trainer was modeled after Red from RBY until
reading it in the Stats topics. I wonder if most casual voters will
make the connection, considering that they probably won't read this
stuff and may not care enough to notice. Then bring up the fact that
Red's not a recognizable name, and what you really have is generic
Brawl character #4934 who will tell us nothing about the real Red and
will get crushed horribly by Ocelot. This is pretty ****ing awesome. --- Not Wylvane |
BlAcK TuRtLe | Posted 1/11/2010 8:32:39 PM | message detail |
Hold on a second.... Maybe I'm missing something here, but you'd think his Brawl model would be the best possible picture Red could get. Without it, only the hardcore Pokenerds would associate the generic, and likely never used name "Red" with Ash/Yourself in R/B/Y. Now at least he has some casual recognizability on top of the people with too much time on their hands. I was thinking about switching to the Ocelot upset, but now I'm pretty confident Red gets a chance to get the piss beat out of him by X. --- http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |

Just look at Pikachu's 2007 run which I called. That's the problem with Board 8, they think their "edgy", "anti-mainstream" tendencies are what the majority of the site votes, yet this is constantly shown to be extremely false time and time again.

After
thinking about it, I think people are too hung up on Magus' Four Way
bombings and are forgetting that he was even with Knuckles last time we
saw him in a real contest. Add to that anything that CT:DS might have
contributed and he shouldn't have any trouble with Alucard. I mean,
would you take Alucard > Knuckles? Sure that's a bad example given
how terribad Sonic Team has looked the last 2 years, but I find it hard
to take any of the four-way results at face value. --- http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |
