If I remember Alucard/Arthas last year Kefka would have to get pretty close to Arthas for the match to be debatable. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 0/0 - Today's Winner: Link and Magus |

Pikachu
breaking 60% on Magus would be a lot less shocking. I mean, Pikachu did
beat L-Block, put up 46% against Crono, and then 38% up against Samus. --- 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.... |

From: PartOfYourWorld | #098 Since when is Pikachu weak at all? Besides his LFF and bandwagon shenanigans, he blew out Tidus, and I'm pretty sure Tidus vs. Alucard would be heavily debated. That performance was a big reason for me taking Alucard here! --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

Oh man, I noticed that creative's updater didn't track the last update of the last match. Take note of this: http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/drupal/node/22?matchnum=3730&num=2 The last update that the updater tracked had a total of 60302 votes, while the match finished at 60599 right here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3730 --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

I'll be picking not-Magus in the future, but I won't picking not-Kefka before that. So...I guess Magus. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

I'd probably pick Magus too since I've never been burned by Kefka and I don't want to start anytime soon. --- "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 |

Current projection based on Crono/Vincent 2007: Magus wins with 50.51% --- 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.... |

Lost in all this is that the strongest non-Crono old Square characters is probably TJF Rydia. (Or maybe Kain, but that's less funny.) --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

pretty sure Tidus vs. Alucard would be heavily debated. That performance was a big reason for me taking Alucard here! I would have debated Magus/Tidus as well considering they've been close for a while statistically at least and losing to Sandbag couldn't be as worse than losing to a cube but after today.. it doesn't make sense at all. --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |

How much does Magus score on Gordon Freeman? Maybe...35%. Wow...if you went back in time to 2003 and told somebody that in 6 years Magus would be weaker than Gordon Freeman they would laugh like nobody's business perhaps. But now...it's all too believable. And maybe Frog scores 40% on Gordon. A character who once went even with Snake losing to a character who was once turbofodder...really something. Of course, it seems that Gordon has gotten a huge boost recently, from all these comparisons. Did he not get 40% on Samus last contest? Wow...if you went back in time to after the 2002 contest and told somebody that in 7 years Gordon Freeman would be breaking 40% on Samus they would think that you're mad. But it's happened. So now we've got three tiers of Noble Niners: Elites - Link, Cloud, Sephiroth Midcarders - Snake, Mario Low end of the stick - Samus, Sonic, Mega Man, Crono Then again Samus is likely so far ahead of the other three that she might be in a tier all her own. But failing to break 60% on a character who was once turbofodder is really something. How well does Freeman do on any of the low end Noble Niners? I'd estimate like 35% on Samus and 45% on the other three. Too much Freeman talk! Now watch as he loses in the first round again... |

Enjoy it while it lasts! I think Alucard will be winning in that projection within another half hour at the most. --- 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.... |

So with CT:DS proving to do nothing, do you guys still believe in Dissidia boosting those FF characters? --- "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 |

Losing to the Cube is better than losing to Sandbag. --- "Spoil it for me. I'm never going to play that game so I want to know if he's going to be another Auron or another Sin." - Soul about Jecht vs. PW |

CTDS probably did boost them a little bit. It just wasn't enough to prevent the bleeding CT does every year. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

You're boosting Gordon too high there. --- Good Times, Great Memories |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 1/16/2010 9:55:08 AM | message detail |
Well,
you'd think high 50s on Magus would be enough to beat Pikachu with
Captain Falcon sucking up 20% of the vote. Let's see if the rat can
remain a contender in 1v1s, though (I think we're all waiting to see
this). He's drawing Solid ****, so he better do well. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

red sox 777 | Posted 1/16/2010 9:57:10 AM | message detail |
Eh,
the silver lining (or damage control) of this is that it makes Pikachu
and Crono look pretty good, since they beat Alucard last year. Crono's
projected to over 62% on Sonic now going through Sonic/Magus and
Crono/Alucard. --- 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.... |

Unless it just means CT completely fell off the map since the 2008 contest and Crono is losing to Missingno. --- 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.... |

Alucard probably got LPF'd last year though. Everyone was on Crono and Pikachu to oust the Block. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |

From: KamikazePotato | #125 CTDS probably did boost them a little bit. It just wasn't enough to prevent the bleeding CT does every year. If this is "bleeding" it's because Crono had his head chopped off. --- -.- |
LinkMarioSamus | Posted 1/16/2010 9:58:09 AM | message detail |
Wait,
that's right! It's going to be Solid ***** against Pikachu's
overperforming sprite. Let's watch MGS get embarassed by Pokemon AGAIN! So now any debatable match featuring a weak-end Squintendo character will likely end in the Squintendo character losing. Yeesh. |

From: red sox 777 | #130 Or that its been falling for years, but its still got more then enough hardcore fans to get 30% or so in match.. but thats just not enough for 1v1 --- http://i48.tinypic.com/24ytvz8.png Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli Fanboyism |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 1/16/2010 10:02:09 AM | message detail |
Yoshi
got almost 43% against Brawl-hype Snake (also with poop pic) in 2006,
so Pikachu should aim for the high 30s here; that'd be a fine end to
his contest. Breaking 40% would be great. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
LinkMarioSamus | Posted 1/16/2010 10:07:05 AM | message detail |
If sprite Pikachu doesn't break 40% in the third round I'll be shocked! Yeah, CT is dying, dying, and dying. Back in 2002 I'd estimate most of the site came into gaming with the 4th generation of gaming (this assuming that teenagers around my age make up the majority of voters), but now it seems like the 6th generation is the benchmark. Of course, that's when I leaped into gaming too! Except that I had heard of Mario 64/GoldenEye/Ocarina/F-Zero/SSB beforehand, thanks to this one relative of mine. |

Pretty
much. As long as there's any chance for Frog/Bowser to redeem CT, then

Even
I didn't take Frog > Bowser.....it was just too much to ask of him.

Magus who's fallen off 3 cliffs and not all of CT. --- 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.... |
