Of course, I could also use Link/Ganondorf to get Alucard in single digits! But that's no fun! --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |

The fact that its Ocelot vs Red does not bode well. People only care about the pokemon, not the trainer himself. --- "If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh." -Magus |

Yeah, I suppose Red/Ocelot should be enough to take my mind off of this. Should. But probably won't be. Magus has fallen pretty far in my personal favorite characters list though (from top 2 to top 5, but that's a bigger gap than between top 5 and someone I've never heard of), so I'm primarily concerned about Crono here. --- 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.... |

Have
you ever noticed that Ocelot tends to lose when he's the favorite
(Ocelot/Pac-Man, Ocelot/Jill last year), but he tends to win when he's
the underdog (Ocelot/Jill 2007, and maybe Ocelot/Wily, I can't
remember)? Make your time, Red. --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!" |

Ocelot was favored against Wily at least until he let Nemmy get 45% on him. --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

So,
Magus is doing quite a bit worse than expected. Last contest, Shepard
did quite poorly in the poll he was in (Shepard/Magus/Sandbag/Sonic). So... what does this mean for Shepard/Ellis? --- Poor Magus. CURRENTLY PLAYING: Electroplankton (DS), Pokemon Gold (GBC) |

Man, Knuckles really did a job to Magus' credibility. Seriously, it's been downhill for Magus ever since that shocker from 2005. --- ...Just repeat to yourself / It's just a show / I should really just relax... |
LOLContests | Posted 1/16/2010 1:12:21 PM | message detail |
I just realized that Magus has failed me *every* year he's been in. 2003: I have him losing to Ganondorf 2004: I have beating Crono. <_< 2005. I have him making the Elite 8 2007: I have him making the 3rd Round 2008: I have him beating Sandbag. 2010: I have him beating Alucard. **** YOU MAGUS. **** YOU. --- "COWARD!

Fact or Fiction: Magus would be winning right now if he had beaten Knuckles in 2005. --- 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.... |

Ocelot was the underdog against Wily? then again, I went with Wily. Yes. Ocelot and Peasant winning ruined my perfect braket. --- Ah, you know it's funny, these people, they go to sleep. They think everything's fine, everything's good... They wake up the next day and they're on fire. |

I
don't think it means very much. I don't think anybody thinks Shepard
will be anything but weak it's just Ellis will be even worse. --- "Those whose memories fade seek to carve them in their hearts..." "All dreams are but another reality. Never forget..." |

Fiction.
Moving a couple thousand votes on Knux doesn't change the fact that
Trigger has been downhill since Mario/Crono III (or maybe Frog/Snake, I
dunno which happened first). --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png |

Im going with Ellis personally <_< I am too, man. I'm not exactly sure what drove me to take a risk like that, but maybe it'll pay off! After all, Louis and Zoey didn't really do horrible in the write-in poll, and Ellis certainly seems more popular than them. --- Poor Magus.

So
what would you guys expect Alucard to get on Crono? He got just shy of
36% last year while SOTN failed to break 30% on CT in the games
contest. Then he gets 58% on Magus. --- 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.... |
MarioSuperstar | Posted 1/16/2010 1:33:06 PM | message detail |
And extrapolating from 42% on Alucard to 36% on Crono.. Magus once again gets 30% on Crono. --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |
MarioSuperstar | Posted 1/16/2010 1:33:39 PM | message detail |
Oh, now that you mention it, Auron beating Sonic isn't such a surprise anymore now is it? --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |

I think Sonic/Ganon and Sonic/Kirby just became more interesting, despite Link's disappointing opening performance. --- 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.... |

LeonhartFour | Posted 1/16/2010 1:40:39 PM | message detail |
From: MarioSuperstar | #277 It wasn't a surprise to begin with! From: Shoenin_Kakashi | #267 Maybe not at the beginning, but yeah, after Ocelot's stinker against Nemesis, I think Wily became the favorite. Actually, looking at the Oracle, Ocelot still had more people picking him. Maybe it was just the stats topic. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
LeonhartFour | Posted 1/16/2010 1:41:27 PM | message detail |
I
really don't expect Sonic/Kirby to be that competitive. I mean, are we
forgetting that Kirby let Big Boss get 48% in a 4-way, and he didn't
beat the Chief by that much in round 2? --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |

hehe, sure did my bit. --- Shakes Fist! |
red sox 777 | Posted 1/16/2010 1:42:23 PM | message detail |
Hmm,
forgot about the sprite round there. But regardless, even after
Link/Thrall, after today Ganon's chances look much brighter. Alucard
is currently projected to get 48% on Sonic. You can probably check off
First Place Factor in Sonic/Magus/Sandbag as confirmed, but it's still
enough to make me nervous. --- 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.... |
LeonhartFour | Posted 1/16/2010 1:43:20 PM | message detail |
Alucard is currently projected to get 48% on Sonic. What about using round 2 Sandbag? Because that seems more accurate at this point. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
RPGuy96 | Posted 1/16/2010 1:43:23 PM | message detail |
The
pigged one got 65% on Frog while Sonic only got 60% on Magus. I still
think Frog/Magus is basically a wash, but if you think Frog > Magus
after today Ganondorf looks even better. --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 1/16/2010 1:44:54 PM | message detail |
From: LeonhartFour | #281 I agree, but he still beat Sonic in a match that was pretty "fair" by 4way standards. I think Sonic will be OK, but Kirby definitely earned the board bracket support he's picked up. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Eh, I still think Bacondorf is stronger than Kirby, or would be in a 1v1 indirect situation anyway. --- 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.... |

Luigi beat Bacondorf, so Kirby probably isn't too far behind. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |

I'd
take Ganon over Kirby in a second. Ganon has accomplished more in this
format, and Kirby has never actually beaten the Tier 2 Mario guys. I
wouldn't consider taking any version of Ganon(dorf) over Sonic, which
is why I'm going with the Noble 9er again. Like other Sonic supporters,
I think the Kirby we saw in earlier 2008 matches (the one who's around
that level with Naked Snake and Dante, if not a bit lower) is much
closer to the one we'll see here, and that ain't enough to get it done
against Sonic. And if it is, then LOL. --- 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 2:03:08 PM | message detail |
And using Round 2 Sandbag gives Sonic about 60% on 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.... |
LeonhartFour | Posted 1/16/2010 2:03:59 PM | message detail |
Alucard with 59.87% that last hour. Good grief, Magus. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
red sox 777 | Posted 1/16/2010 2:05:00 PM | message detail |
And
I'm glad Sonic has the sprite round as a cushion here, for the Noble
Nine's sake. The 46% on Auron really drives it home, since Ganon was
still above Auron as late as 2006. --- 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.... |

XFD, I had Magus originally but then I came to my senses and switched to Alucard. Thank God. Also, OCELOT ftw tomorrow. Nobody gives a **** about Red. MGS fans give a **** about Ocelot.

Eh,
it's only a matter of time until the bottom rungs of the Noble 9 fall
apart. We've said it for years, but it looks like the site demographics
have changed too much with this generation, and the old icons aren't
getting any younger. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
