Red's beating MMX. Upset of the contest, imo |

That's
why we're counting on you to make great Pokemon-pics, KP! And say that
PT is not Red in your comment-box with the pictures...I dunno, maybe
that'll help. Also Squall/Geno SFF? If there's no overlap between old and new square then what reason is there to think there is one for Geno? Yeah, I used to be a fan of saying Geno was SFF'd by Squall and Bowser, but Geno still looks really bad and about the same, so that would mean either Bowser and Squall affect Geno the same amount for different reasons...or that there was no SFF. Between that and seeing Fawful and every Mario-RPG game fail to catch wind here aside from SMRPG, I don't think Geno's got much of a shot...and this is coming from somebody who tried hard to find a reason to pick not-Ness this year. Geno got ~53% on Deckard Kain. Ness has beaten Jak, CJ, and Zidane worse than that and has had SSBB since then. He should be fine. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

Red will probably get a Brawl picture since it isn't the sprite round.

You better have picked Big Daddy then HaRR! --- He's gonna win anyway! |
HaRRicH | Posted 1/22/2010 12:43:12 PM | message detail |
I
did, never thought twice about putting Big Daddy > Ness in my
bracket (though I do think Ness could make a match out of it). --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |
voltch | Posted 1/22/2010 12:57:32 PM | message detail |
I'm wondering, because big daddy is a pretty large character, who are the strongest giants in the contests? Because a lot of top tier characters seem rather normal in stature or a little short and usually very well built physically, but of the bigger guys I can only think of Bowser and he's not always massive. --- Shakes Fist! |
Fayt_Esteed | Posted 1/22/2010 1:12:13 PM | message detail |
I can't think of any reasons Geno has to beat Ness... And a mere 53% on Deckard Cain isn't convincing in the slightest. --- "Here I go! Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |

someone get a feedback ticket from SBAllen saying fanart could be used

Dark_Spiral | Posted 1/22/2010 1:24:50 PM | message detail |
If Red has pics like that then Red > MMX is even more likely to happen |
HaRRicH | Posted 1/22/2010 1:25:22 PM | message detail |
Just a question, but...how well does SB know what is and isn't fan-art for each and every character? --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

Ah. I remember sending my sources for pics for awhile, but eventually stopped and still had some accepted, so I didn't know. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

Not surprised to see GlaDOS doing well. A triumph, indeed. And I'm extremely pleased with Kirby's performance. I even a had good Oracle (#4, behind by .02) for a change! --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

It's
weird how I've missed only one match but feel like I'm having a
terrible contest. The margins of victory have been very surprising in
several matches. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Remember how people were saying we haven't been seeing any asv trends yet this year? Well, this match is sure showing we'll still have asv! --- http://i48.tinypic.com/24ytvz8.png Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli Fanboyism |

but Ocelot is probably a great deal stronger than he was in 2005 when he lost to Pac-Man. Just look at Liquid or Big Boss. Yeah, he really killed Jill last contest with that MGS4 boost. --- KrahenProphet and Nintendo cleaned me out in the Guru Contest. |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 1/22/2010 2:30:43 PM | message detail |
Liquid's
SFF matches are obviously unreliable, but even in Round 1
(Luigi/Roxas/Sho), he managed over 45% on Luigi. If he's legitimately
worth even low 40s on Luigi, then I doubt Altair gives him much
trouble. Altair couldn't beat Duke Nukem; there's no way he cracks 40%
on Luigi. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Oh wow, Fawful's getting a nice ASV. Or GlaDOS is just having a bad one. Either one. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |
Sonic_Factor | Posted 1/22/2010 2:35:02 PM | message detail |
What a boring match. So what do people think Vivi will do to DK? I'm thinking 55-45.. maybe more since there is no ASV. --- Nominate Red XIII for the Character Battle VII! He's the Lion with a fire tail from Final Fantasy VII. |
Not_Wylvane | Posted 1/22/2010 2:35:37 PM | message detail |
GlaDOS
is beating Fawful even worse than I expected. Seriously, though, people
thought the weak handheld M&L series villain Fawful would take on
the well-known villain from Portal, a game that actually has decent
strength here? Didn't expect it to be this bad, but I should have in retrospect. Still surprised it's not close like half the other matches we've had so far! --- Not Wylvane |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 1/22/2010 2:37:06 PM | message detail |
For a Nintendo character, DK is night-oriented, isn't he? Vivi managed 56% in 2004, so I'll go with something around there. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I
still maintain Duke's stronger than most people think. Not strong
enough to upset Charizard or even give him a close match, but I expect
Duke to break 40% on Charizard, people to declare Charizard weak, and
then Charizard to impress with a great match with Kratos. Then people
will say Kratos is weak, even after he breaks 90% on Tails, until he
beats Sora, that is! --- Not Wylvane |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 1/22/2010 2:39:08 PM | message detail |
Fawful
only has 15% support in the Guru. There was very little Nintendo Fear
at work here, especially since Fawful himself is a completely unknown
variable and GlaDOS ain't too much better. --- Yoblazer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2s024p4.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
LeonhartFour | Posted 1/22/2010 2:39:30 PM | message detail |
From: LOLContests | #438 Red does better, but I really, really doubt he breaks 52% by the end of the match. Heck, he'd probably be lucky to hit 51%. From: red sox 777 | #441 A great deal? Ehhhhhhh, I've seen no reason to believe that. This is still the guy who lost to Jill Valentine and Marcus Fenix. --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness!

From: PartOfYourWorld | #486 Yeah, DK's very night-oriented for a Nintendo character. The kiddies don't like him much, I guess. He's an old school guy. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
