Kratos
Aurion had a decent match with Diablo in 2005, and then looked like
fodder in 4-ways. Ulti would say LOL 4WAYS and be done with it. --- 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.... |

If you people don't accept the Kratos/Midna LFF theory, then explain the difference between Midna in 2007 and Midna in 2008. Because there IS a difference. --- "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!" |

He
went from 43% on Diablo to barely beating Agent 47 and getting blown
out by Alucard. Considering what ToS did in the Games Contest, what
explanation do you have? --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

And
it isn't even trend/console LFF. It's just plain fanbase LFF. When
Tales of Symphonia came out it was pretty much the only RPG Nintendo
fans could play on the Gamecube. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

If you people don't accept the Kratos/Midna LFF theory, then explain the difference between Midna in 2007 and Midna in 2008. That's true, there is. I'm not sure how to explain Midna's 2008. I'd say FPF with Cloud, but then she did pretty good on Mewtwo. I'll plead puzzlement there, but it doesn't appear that she was LFF'd significantly by Mewtwo so I'm very hesitant to accept Kratos LFF. But if there is Kratos/Nintendo LFF, how badly does Captain Falcon beat Alucard in a fair match? I hope you gentlemen have Falcon over Riku if you're seriously considering that... --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

Captain Falcon could beat Alucard in a match. His match with Riku has me extremely worried. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |
LeonhartFour | Posted 1/29/2010 2:30:22 PM | message detail |
I
took Riku > Captain Falcon, but the good Captain does concern me
there, to be honest with you. He did worse against Pikachu than Ike did
though, so that kinda puzzles me. --- "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!" |

KamikazePotato | Posted 1/29/2010 2:31:42 PM | message detail |
From: LeonhartFour | #057 1. Falcon is pure Smash, so it's not hard to imaging he would lose support more quickly than someone with backing from another source (Ike has FE). 2. Ike needed support against Arthas. Pikachu needed support against Alucard. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

I'm surprised because you're usually very cautious on postulating LFF relationships, Leon. --- 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.... |
RPGuy96 | Posted 1/29/2010 2:33:03 PM | message detail |
It
does not seem impossible to me for Kratos to be falling over time. I'll
grant you that that's a weak response, but I remain unconvinced of
significant Midna/Kratos LFF. Captain Falcon could beat Alucard in a match. His match with Riku has me extremely worried. If that was triple LFF match, going by the others we've seen he probably wins with like 60%. That's beyond worried and into "Why on earth wouldn't you pick Falcon if you believed that?" --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |
RPGuy96 | Posted 1/29/2010 2:34:51 PM | message detail |
I
should clarify, I meant Falcon beats Alucard with like 60%. But without
looking at it closely, I don't think the gap between Alucard and Riku
is enormous. --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |
LeonhartFour | Posted 1/29/2010 2:35:38 PM | message detail |
From: red sox 777 | #060 I am, but there was really no reason for Kratos to do as badly as he did last year based on previous years (You can't even go LOL 4-WAYS here because he did well in 2007, relatively speaking), and it also explains the difference between Midna 2007 and 2008. Now if Kratos goes out and blows it against Sackboy, then disregard all this. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |

RPGuy96 | Posted 1/29/2010 2:37:34 PM | message detail |
ANYWAY
I'm still happy with Bowser. If nothing else this is at least
comparable to Ganondorf and I think most would still give Ganondorf a
shot a Sora. --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |
red sox 777 | Posted 1/29/2010 2:39:25 PM | message detail |
To
me at least, LOL 4-WAYS is not so much about how 4-ways are different
from 1v1s as how inconsistent 4-way results are with each other,
between rounds even. Basically, the predictive power of 4-way matches
is much lower than that of 1v1 matches, at least using our
extrapolation model. --- 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.... |

MarioSuperstar | Posted 1/29/2010 2:42:39 PM | message detail |
Mewtwo
easily wins that, however I'm not so sure if we can say Midna was LFF'd
because of the next following year. Midna/Mewtwo could have easily just
been because of Cloud being present. Midna today really still looks
like a low mid-carder based on Sora. --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |

Hey, you silly Brits, Canadians, and Australians, Bacon gave you regional stuff for your country on Geolocation. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |
KamikazePotato | Posted 1/29/2010 2:44:18 PM | message detail |
Through Midna, Mewtwo is at around 26% on Cloud. That seems about right to me. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

Midna/Mewtwo could have easily just been because of Cloud being present. What does Cloud have to do with it? Midna today really still looks like a low mid-carder based on Sora. Yeah, but she still looks stronger than Frog based on past years. Sora's been stronger than Bowser ever since KHII in our stats. --- "So cold. I am always by your side."

Lieutenant Kettch | Posted 1/29/2010 2:44:41 PM | message detail |
Bowser
has always had one of the weaker Nintendo day votes, so it's not that
surprising to seem him only make small gains against Frog here. He's
the one that dropped off the chart against Kirby way back. Only looked
good in recent years with characters like Ryu and Phoenix Wright in his
groups. --- KrahenProphet and Nintendo cleaned me out in the Guru Contest. |

It
looks like Bacon really loves this Geolocation thing. Good, because I
do too! Please make a global electoral college (with countries/states
given electoral votes by Gamefaqs traffic) the format next year. That
would be the best thing ever. --- 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.... |

Bowser
is still doing worse in a day match against Frog than Sora did in a
night match against Midna. Based solely on these two results, Sora wins
with ease. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

I
don't have any qualms about that. It's a fun system, and is no more
unfair than 12-hour matches, because very very few matches will be have
a different popular and electoral vote winner, no more than matches
where the 24-hour winner loses. --- 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.... |

Yeah,
I'm guessing including the world results still leaves Ocelot as the
electoral winner since he won the popular vote outside the US. But you
can't win them all, and I don't mind having results like that. It's
Red's "fault" for having his support so centered in big states like
California, New York, and Florida. --- 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.... |

I
dunno. I just think it's silly, and it'll just add a lot more
unnecessary whining to this contest in the event that someone advances
despite getting less than 50% of the vote. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |

MarioSuperstar | Posted 1/29/2010 3:01:00 PM | message detail |
What does Cloud have to do with it? I'm not sure, but maybe a strong presence just decreases the possible votes both characters would get, but I'm not convince she's anywhere near Mewtwo (like, breaking 48% or anything like that). Mewtwo got 40/41% on Ganondorf while she just barely escaped Sora's day vote with 36%, and while I think Sora is stronger than Ganondorf, I think Mewtwo would win that match a lot more than just 52% or so. --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |

Actually,
Ocelot might not have won the electoral vote under the system I was
proposing. The electoral votes would be based on Gamefaqs traffic, not
population, so if, say, states Red won had higher Gamefaqs traffic
relative to real population, he might still have won. --- 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.... |

Fiction. I refuse to believe Kefka could beat Frog at anything. Arthas just sucks.
