What
kind of overlap would Halo and TF2 have? They don't even cater to the
same kind of FPS gamer! They don't even share a fanbase! Or do you
think people actually play Halo 1/2 on PC or TF2 on 360? I agree, the only real overlap is that it is an fps game. --- If I miss the failboat, will I make the winboat? |

Okay,
fine then, but it doesn't change that the face of FPS-gaming for the
past decade isn't looking impressive against another FPS-character. He
shouldn't anyway like I've been arguing, but maybe there's less reason
for me to be wrong on that than I thought there was. And I brought up WCC/GlaDOS for the same reason I brought up Spy -- Halo doesn't mean anything special to FPS-fans here. I feel like WCC/GlaDOS are worse examples than Spy for this, but whatever. I strayed from the argument of the Xbox-hierarchy and tried to prove MC wasn't special to the FPS-community here either, and I strayed too far. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

You guys realize Spy is sort of a 4chan icon yeah? --- :> |
Not_Wylvane | Posted 1/27/2010 10:00:39 AM | message detail |
I'm
actually more interested in seeing the votals for this. High votals
indicates Master Chief is still pretty good and would have no trouble
with Ryu H, while Spy would have had a nice healthy boost due to
increased Valve exposure the past year or so that would explain his
performance. Also, if Valve decides to rally for Spy, we can say goodbye to Chief's ASV! Hell, if the ASV is as diluted as it seems, Spy might end up with the best ASV so far with a Steam rally! --- Not Wylvane |
creativename | Posted 1/27/2010 10:00:56 AM | message detail |
And wherefore Albion? Slithered off to wait for the ASV I suppose, when Chief might get it to a high and mighty 64% :) Still thinking Chief>Ryu though, and I don't think it'll be all that close. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Man
how much can we increase spy if Chief finishes with 62/63%; LOWER than
Arthas. That'd be a pretty hefty to boost for anybody and Spy isn't
even a major character in the game. --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |

I
think Valve stated the GameSpot Gordon rally was the first and last
time they'd be doing that. I'm not holding out any hope for a rally,
especially since they'd probably rather back Gordon ahead of anyone
else. --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/5nw45i.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

As
wack as this division has been('sides Zack/Yuna), the second round is
gonna be very interesting. Just how much will black-haired Cloud get on
MM? Will Ryu H upset Master Choke? Does Ike suck THAT damn much that he
would lose to Zidane? --- Yeah, you lost your virginity. Just like a homeless guy staring into the window of an office building means he got a job.- Colonel Alloy |

From: KamikazePotato | #322 I think that's more Crash than Hayabusa. Crash and Lara Croft have always been awful vote draws. --- "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 |
Not_Wylvane | Posted 1/27/2010 10:07:29 AM | message detail |
How
is it not Ryu's fault he can't get votes? Will he suddenly get an
influx of votes because he's facing Master Chief instead of Crash
Bandicoot? Barring those hardcore anti-voters, of course. It's both Crash and Ryu's fault. It's not like even other midcarders have trouble getting votes against fodder. --- Not Wylvane |
vcharon | Posted 1/27/2010 10:07:32 AM | message detail |
Chief gains. --- :> |
DaruniaTheGoron | Posted 1/27/2010 10:08:54 AM | message detail |
Why
are people underestimating Spy? TF2 is REALLY popular among the
internet crowd, and it's easy to get behind TF2 guys if you're
anti-voting the Chief. It's harder to get behind other hated characters
like Crash which is why Chief blew him out. I predicted this. Bet MAX in the spread betting that Spy > 34% because Chief can't blow anything out that isn't hated as well. He'll still beat Ryu H and I'm like 99% confident in that especially considering how poorly Ryu H did against Crash. I expect Chief to rise to like 63.. maybe 64 or 65% if he gets an INSANE ASV. --- CBVIII: 21/23 -21 pts- Losses: Ocelot, Liquid Day Pick: Master ChiefNight Pick: Sora |
LeonhartFour | Posted 1/27/2010 10:08:59 AM | message detail |
From: Not_Wylvane | #325 Vote drawing power has never mean that much for a character's strength though. If Hayabusa loses to Chief, it's not going to be because he had the lowest vote totals of the first round. --- "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!" |
creativename | Posted 1/27/2010 10:09:16 AM | message detail |
It's more Crash's fault. But vote totals are being overrated. Vote totals are not why Ryu will lose, he's just not strong enough, especially in the day. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Also,
if Valve decides to rally for Spy, we can say goodbye to Chief's ASV!
Hell, if the ASV is as diluted as it seems, Spy might end up with the
best ASV so far with a Steam rally! The rally won't last too long anyways. When Spy got a rally in the vote-in poll, it only lasted for about 2 hours before Spy started performing normally again. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

LeonhartFour | Posted 1/27/2010 10:10:39 AM | message detail |
And
honestly, the fact that Crash and Lara Croft don't draw votes seems to
tell me that people would rather not vote at all than anti-vote them
with a character they don't know/like. It makes me wonder how much
anti-votes really matter. --- "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 |

From: creativename | #334 Chief will still get to 70% with the ASV, obviously. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
Not_Wylvane | Posted 1/27/2010 10:14:05 AM | message detail |
I
think votals are an important part of a character's strength. If a
character can't garner votes against a weak character, how will they
get votes against a character with actual strength? If I had time, I'd probably bother looking up Ryu's votals around noon for his last three or so contests and see how they compare to what he did against Crash. As is, I wasted too much time with this topic today as is, so if anyone else wants to mess around, there you go. --- Not Wylvane |
MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 1/27/2010 10:14:16 AM | message detail |
From: creativename | #334 I still take Chief due to it being a day match, but if it was a night match, I might have to favor Ryu H. I don't buy Spy improving so much when Arthas did better on him last contest and TF2 looked like junk last game contest. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/24ytvz8.png Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli Fanboyism |

So
I think obviously the next close match is Laharl vs Neku. I picked Neku
but as far as I'm concerned its a bit of a toss up. Anybody have a
better argument one way or the other? --- Point Total: 20/22 My Bracket Says: Night: Ryu Day: Master Chief |

match, I might have to favor Ryu H. I don't buy Spy improving so much
when Arthas did better on him last contest and TF2 looked like junk

From: hellfire104 | #342 Laharl is the higher seed. Hey, it worked for Vyse in 2004. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
vcharon | Posted 1/27/2010 10:20:04 AM | message detail |
No
argument that hasn't been presented before. TWEWY is the "bigger" game
and has the "Square Factor". Disgaea is a series and with Prinny doing
well one would expect Laharl too. Hard to say really. I still think a lot of Prinny's strength was joke factor and casuals who didn't know either character. --- :> |

better argument one way or the other? Prinny. Also people may recognize Laharl since he's been in more contests. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 16/22 - Today's Winners: Ryu Hayabusa and Master Chief |

Laharl
has the higher seed, has been in more contests, has a wide fanbase,
performed better last year (depending on who you ask). --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |
LOLContests | Posted 1/27/2010 10:21:41 AM | message detail |
I
was going through votals the other day, and for they do generally line
up with the average popularity of two characters in a match, for the
most part. Sonic characters, especially the Blue Blur himself, tend to
always underperform in regards to them*, but other than a few outliers
here and there they hold up fairly well. How this holds up to a two poll a day system I'm not sure, but I think that enough time has passed that most voters have gotten the hang of things. *What the hell happened with those votals in Sonic Vs. Ryu for example. --- "Duh, it's the company's fault for making it cost so much."--Donkey Kong Yesmar |
