My brother showed me the guy over Christmas-break, he's a robot you kinda rely on from Borderlands...one that likes to dance. I thought it was funny in the menu-screen too, though I don't know a lot more about it than that. Silly and likable, but shouldn't be taken seriously to beat any FF-lead. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

I still think Klaptrap from DKC would do better than Borderlands Claptrap will. he got 53.49% on Tidus with Isaac and Serge in the poll. Replacing Isaac and Serge with Leon and Vivi only moved Pikachu up to 53.69% on Tidus. So if there's any one match I'd call an anomaly there, it'd be Pikachu's round 2 match. Not sure what's so anomalous about this. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

And
the sad thing for Liquid is that Altair's still going up in percentage
even though we're in night vote territory. It looks like, as long as
Altair can avoid the first six hours of the poll or so, he's golden. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |

Altair seems like he will get that 59% afterall. Damn nice performance

Ezio is not beating Zelda. If DK can have brackets against Vivi, Ezio is not beating the #2 Zelda character in a day match. --- I am the Dragon of Blood, a relentless prince of pain Renouncing God on His throne, my blood is forever stained. |
red sox 777 | Posted 1/23/2010 7:03:19 PM | message detail |
Not sure what's so anomalous about this. You'd think Isaac and Serge add up to a more or less fair match, while having Vivi in there obviously favors Pikachu. That he did the same in both rounds then looks strange. But really, you have to look at Pikachu's performances since his 2007 R3 match too, which I think are closer to that match than his R2 match. --- 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.... |

Personally,
I'd love to see Ganon kick Zelda's bony behind, but Zelda outright wins
due to her name being the ****ing franchise title. It's like if you introduced a new Halo character called Halo, they'd automatically be the second strongest character on this site. --- The Gamer In Me "Ike and Ash and co. saw a Yoshi and didn't catch it" - Mer telling us his dream |

Match XVII: (1) Mario vs. (16) Falco Lombardi Information Name: Mario Game/Series: Super Mario Bros. Previous Contest: 2008 Performance: 3rd in round 5 Name: Falco Lombardi Game/Series: Star Fox Previous Contest: 2008 Performance: 4th in round 2 Analysis One would think that SBAllen would have tried to avoid uninteresting SFF matches in round 1. Then again the only 16 seed that Falco would have been able to switch without leading to the same result is Lightning. Given the stronger lower seeds because of the vote-ins this match has the potential be the biggest blowout of the contest, which currently stands at a modest 79.81%. On the small off-chance Falco avoids getting SFF Mario is still likely to approach a tripling on the bird. Falco did have a decent performance in the first round last contest, but given the nature of supporting second place given that first place is obvious I would expect his second round performance to have been more telling of his strength. Of course I believe that Mario will SFF Falco and I can see him struggling to break 15% overall. It’s a shame that SBAllen made all of the latter rounds so predictable. Mario is more or less a lock to the semi-finals with only bad luck or a massive site change blocking the way. charmander6000’s Bracket: Mario > Falco Lombardi charmander6000’s Prediction: Mario wins, 84.62% - 15.38% --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 10/14 - Today's Winners: Vivi and Liquid Snake |

LeonhartFour | Posted 1/23/2010 8:03:02 PM | message detail |
Yeah, I wouldn't be too confident with whoever I took in Ganon/Zelda, though I'd take Zelda because she's Not-Ganon. And I said a long time ago that Zelda's as popular as she is because of Sheik, and I remember people calling me out on that! --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |

Is Crew Analysis topic #2 up yet? If so, then may I have the link, please? As far as other topics, woah is Altair ever pasting Liquid Snake! I will vote for this guy next round for sure! Impressive on his part...but what happened, Liquid? Somehow I think Mario is going to disappoint us. A SMG pic against an SSBM pic doesn't exactly help matters. |

It's up, should be on the first page of topics right now. I'd love to see Falco do well to make competitive SSBM characters look good, even though I don't play him in SSBM. Mario will probably show us a boring SFF dismantling though. --- 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.... |

Just
to show how close the matches seem this year, if you take the average
percent of the 16 winners and take the 16 closest round 1 1v1 matches
of the other contests the percents are rather comparable and that's
with blowouts such as Link/Thrall and WCC/Sandal tipping the scale. 2002 - 60.20% 2003 - 59.73% 2004 - 58.21% 2005 - 57.61% 2006 - 58.38% 2010 - 60.47% --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 10/14 - Today's Winners: Vivi and Liquid Snake |
