Seriously, I can't believe most of you thought Rikku would easily break 40%. Rikku's clearly not that good. Rikku seems to be heading there. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 9/12 - Today's Winners: Kirby and Fawful |

Yeah because a match in 2005 when Tidus was the favorite, before Kirby sucked in steroids bears any relevance now. You saw Kirby's match against Bowser that year, didn't you? Also, Kirby has barely doubled his lead from the freeze in the last two updates. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |

Rikku well on her way to looking respectable. If I win the Guru I may force everyone to nominate her so she gets decent seeding for once. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png |

Pegging Rikku ending at 43%+. I have faith in her. --- ~AK~ // Merc |

Also,
all this "TIDUS LOST EVEN THOUGH HE WAS THE FAVORITE" stuff is pretty
silly. Kirby, Pikachu, and Cube all turned out to be stronger than we
expected. They surprised most of the board each year. --- "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 |

Yeah, Rikku will probably break 40% before this is all said and done. Kirby's board vote is just nuts. I wonder how good he can do against Link if he makes it that far. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |

I
don't think being the favorite means anyting for your strength, outside
a few votes at the start maybe. It certainly shouldn't mean much for
Tidus of all people, who this board has no particular love for. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Not_Wylvane | Posted 1/21/2010 9:22:52 PM | message detail |
I predicted Cube to win its Round 1 match in 2008 precisely because Tidus, DK, and Tails were all losers. I wouldn't exactly put Tidus in the same league of suck as Kefka, Magus, and Shadow, but he hasn't been very impressive recently. He could redeem himself by defeating Sub-Zero, who should be a strong opponent, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Sub-Zero break 60% on him. Then again, considering how this contest has been progressing, I expect Tidus/Sub-Zero to be another close match where the match ends with the winner below 53%. --- Not Wylvane |

From: PartOfYourWorld | #410 Yeah, after 2005 it was. They were relatively close in the stats that year. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |

Big change of topic, but sincewe were discussing fictional characters again the other day and I just saw this poll-result: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/geekend/?p=4072 Who is your favorite geek movie villain? * Darth Vader – Original Star Wars trilogy (44%) * HAL 9000 – 2001: A Space Odyssey (14%) * The Terminator (any of them) – Terminator series (12%) * Mr. Zorg – The Fifth Element (10%) * The Predator – Predator (10%) * Other – Let us know in the forums (9%) Total Votes: 1,945 Didn't expect Vader to kill the Terminator like that. Anyway, Rikku's looking a lot better now...not good, but better. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

Kirby
is decent in the morning, but nowhere near as good as his opening or
ASV. He'll probably just manage to stall Rikku's percentage gains in
the morning without gaining much back himself. --- 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: KamikazePotato | Posted: 1/22/2010 12:29:19 AM | #425 I doubt Ganon can win the sprite round. Where Sonic fails is with older gamers (note the voting blocks where Sonic team does well: morning and ASV), and nostalgia should save him against Ganon. But against Kirby, he is massively lucky he has a day match. Night time would be a complete blowout. --- "Opinions are like butts, little girl.

If there's one thing I'm looking forward to in the Sonic/Kirby match, it's to see where Lightning falls in relation to Rikku. Yes, out of all things, this is what the entire stats topic is looking forward to and dying to know :) I can see it already. Every 5 minutes... "And now Lightning would extrapolate to 50.16% on Rikku..." "OMG OMG *huuuge* cut by Rikku (and Kirby too but who cares about that), Rikku now rates to 50.08% on Lightning! Man I can't wait to see what the ASV will mean for Rikku (and also that Kirby whatshisname)" "Man what is this I sense barriers being put up by Lightning's followers (who's this werewolf looking blue dude in the match btw)" --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

But against Kirby, he is massively lucky he has a day match. Night time would be a complete blowout. It won't be much different either way. Kirby has Smash trends. He's got an amazing board vote and a great first hour, but his night after that is bad. Kirby will probably still smash Sonic with the board vote and first hour during the day. Plus, he has that Smash Bros. ASV to look forward to. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

Actually,
looking at Sonic/Kirby last year, it looks like Sonic did better with
the board vote than Kirby, a sign that Kirby wasn't bandwagoned in that
match like he was in the next one. --- 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.... |

But against Kirby, he is massively lucky he has a day match. Night time would be a complete blowout. Isn't it the other way around...? I don't know if trends really mean much for that match though. But, the board vote will be very tough for Sonic to overcome. And with a day match it might not all come at the start and thus look weaker, but it'll come at the end then; the board voters will have their say for sure, regardless of day or night. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
