GameFAQs Contests

Well uhhh you see, California is one of the country's biggest MMA havens, and everyone knows Boss can armbar a grizzly bear, so perhaps Drake has no chance even there.

Please, stop pretending that losing is enough to discount any progress a character has made strength wise.

'k.

Except what I meant was that given where Drake was starting, I wasn't confident any boost, and I was sure he'd certainly get some kind of one, was going to be enough to beat even The Boss, in spite of that not generally being so much of a challenge.

If I got burned on that logic, so be it. I didn't expect the same entity that went and got blown out by CATS, but I also couldn't see how exactly Drake was going to get that big a boost off of a game, even if GotY.

SC2k6 (190/240) 99.4958 Percentile

Okay, Drake's done. The percentage should look better by the end of this and it's clear Uncharted 2 did a lot for him, but not enough to beat The Boss (yay). This brings up her next match with WCC...does she have a good chance to advance again? WCC/Sandal didn't have a high vote total and I imagine The Boss/Drake could beat Sandal down hard too.

The Boss is better than people give her credit for. I would take her to beat Ocelot and Raiden fairly easily.

---
KrahenProphet lived up to his name.

Maybe she beats Raiden because there's no question who the MGS fanbase favors, but she's never proven she can contend with Ocelot. Ocelot is about 50/50 with Jill, and Boss just isn't at that level.

The Boss will beat WCC, but that'll be as far as she goes, imo

Prediction percentage for this match should probably be pretty miserable, no?
---
If you're seeing this sig, I'm not on my computer!

I know the vote-in suggests it, but I'd still have a hard time taking her over Raiden. MGS2-lead and made to be a lot more bad-ass in MGS4 versus respectable rival in MGS3...I mean, it'd probably happen in a match, but that still seems weird to me.

The Boss's cooler in MGS3 than Revolver in the first three games combined though (can't say anything about MGS4). The love for Revolver's always been weird to me -- he's okay, but come on. Volgin kicked his ass in MGS3 and that's where people seem to go craziest for him...and yeah, I figure I'll catch hell for that.

We should be in ASV territory now and it's not helping Drake in any way. ASV typically starts by 2:30-3:00 PM. If The Boss loses I will be really shocked.

1) I went 5 for 8 in this division. I didn't have any of the wrong picks advancing further, but damn.

2) The Boss is one of the most underrated characters in history. Wonderful to see her winning.

I love the MGS series but I've never been a big fan of Ocelot. Snake, Raiden, Boss are all awesome. Ocelot...eh.

Revolver just exudes "cool". Young Ocelot was freaking hilarious in MGS3... and he's an essential character in MGS4.

I'd take him over The Boss in a heartbeat.
---

"We have 2 giant hamsters running on a massive wheel in our secret underground cave..."

Yeah, I'm 7/8 in this bracket, but the one I missed won't advance further and I doubt someone's going to have a perfect bracket out of all 127 matches

What I want to see is the MMX and Red match

I don't think The Boss would beat Ocelot either. He's actually in all 3 (4?) games, while I think The Boss is only in one. Ocelot is a lot more widespread, and The Boss has never really proven to be around Ocelot's level, ever.

Not impossible, but I wouldn't bet on it.

I'm 7/8 as well, only mistake was Ocelot who was a half hour from winning his match so I have no regrets.

I took The Boss > WCC in round 2 though.. not sure about that anymore. I dunno if The Boss would beat Sandal with 78%. We'll see what happens in a month.

To me Ocelot seems like one of those people continuously make excuses for, like the entire cats of FFVI. "He's so cool!" "The fanbase loves him!" "He's been in every game!"

And then it never pans out. Give me Boss over that loser.

Deluded. Look at The Boss and Jill within the same division in 2006. Ocelot's more than a step above her.

I think Ocelot will turn out more impressive in the stats this year than the Boss.

Gordon Freeman (2002c) VS Gordon Freeman (2006c)

Gordon Freeman has a strength of 11.31.
Gordon Freeman has a strength of 25.36.

Gordon Freeman wins with 77.70% of the vote!
A win of 59,477 with 107,355 total votes cast.

It's not too far away from Gordon's boost.

Character Battle VIII - 3/6 - Today's Winners: WCC and The Boss

2006 Female Division is trash for any sort of stats. Lots of weird results in there.

Because of what happened in later rounds in other divisions. The Tifa eightpack taken on its own is solid. Certainly more than a completely unsubstantiated claim that beating this completely unknown quantity today warrants taking over Ocelot.

It doesn't hold up in direct strength or using interfanbase preference. It's like arguing Raiden could stand up to BB all over again.

---
If you're seeing this sig, I'm not on my computer!

Big Boss is directly stronger than Raiden these days. Bad example.

And no, that eightpack wasn't solid. Tifa, Yuna, Zelda, and others overpowered quite a bit that year in pretty much all of their matches. It's like considering what Bowser/Ganondorf did in the Villains Contest to be applicable.

---

The Boss went from 25% on Tifa to 30% on Vincent, then again that's female bracket vs. four-ways.

Ah, sucks that Drake couldn't pull it off. I figured he'd be the more popular character these days. Well, at least I've got WCC in round 3!

---
wheresoever you go, go with all your heart

It doesn't really matter though because unless you think Tifa 'changed strength' between facing Peach and The Boss, The Boss really doesn't come close. Tifa would have to change drastically (for whatever reason) for it to even be 50/50. Then considering the fact that Tails is nowhere near Jill ANYWAY, and I still take Ocelot even disregarding the Female bracket completely. Seeing Shadow today tells me how BAD Tails could possibly be.
---

Only if you lack reading comprehension. I meant exactly that - Ocelot is directly stronger, and he's stronger within the fanbase. There's no two ways about it, really, and you haven't provided a shred of evidence otherwise.

And no, that eightpack wasn't solid. Tifa, Yuna, Zelda, and others overpowered quite a bit that year in pretty much all of their matches. It's like considering what Bowser/Ganondorf did in the Villains Contest to be applicable.

Tifa has one overperformance - Samus. Everything else that she did was either pretty much on point or considered to be an underperformance (with the notable exception of The Boss match. which is telling.). More importantly, using the same analogy everything that Bowser and Ganondorf did in the Villains Contest was largely in the same vein. Bowser let Ocelot overperform on him, Ganondorf got a bigger chunk bitten out of him from Diablo than was warranted. Only because of their final matches with Sephiroth do they lay any claim to overrating as a whole.

You can't wave away the Tifa division when it's isolated from everything else. There's nothing to mismanage on.

Except I think The Boss is stronger directly outside the fanbase. Inside the fanbase is debatable.

And I don't really need to provide proof, honestly, nor can I. Our stats from 4 years ago are trash. At this point I'm working on gut instinct - doesn't make for a good argument tool, but I've got a perfect division so far!

I realize it's not the popular pick or whatever, but denying any possibility of it is silly. Ocelot lives to underperform, Boss does the opposite.

---
KrahenProphet lived up to his name.

The only reason Ocelot underperforms more is because he's been in more matches.
---
*is Dranze*
Krahen Prophet did a fatality.

And he's underperformed in all but 1 of them.

---

Well, so far Drake and Magus are the only two red marks on my bracket. I guess my fanboism towards CT and Uncharted 2 kind of damned me there. No biggie though.

Ocelot beats The Boss both directly and indirectly. There's not real argument there, even with Ocelot's bad track record. Beating Celes, going even with Tails, and scrapping by Nathan Drake does not make you hot stuff.

---
wheresoever you go, go with all your heart

Wily, Bowser, Jill 2k7, and Red this year are all signs of clear overperformances from Ocelot.

Ocelot's opponents...

Nemesis
Dr. Wily
Bowser
Pac-Man
Cloud/Jill/Zolom
Cloud/Fenix/Kefka
Kratos/Jill/Heavy
Pokemon Trainer Red

Ocelot underperformed against Nemesis, Pac-Man and Kratos/Jill/Heavy. Everything else he either surprised in or did as expected.
