I
dunno, people seem to think it's the greatest thing ever and can
completely turn a match around. It's not a bad pic, but it's not this
holy grail of pics either! --- wheresoever you go, go with all your heart |

From: ExThaNemesis | #348 There is a right way to generate hype and there is a wrong way to generate hype In fact, I don't think he generates hype for events. He generates hype toward himself so that people rag him when he fails. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |

MWC
is a terrific poster. Everything he says makes me laugh or improves my
day. If all Yankees fans were like him, I'd have to like the team. --- 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: MyWorldIsCrono | #351 all publicity is good publicity my friend. Like I said I plan to have Sephiroth vs. Snake hyped up beyond belief, and part of that will be at that point so many people are going to want Snake to win just so that I look hilariously bad, and that's just fine! --- "I learned in England not to deceive the referees" - Cristiano Ronaldo http://i50.tinypic.com/ohsr5j.jpg |

But back to Kratos/L Block iirc, isn't Block totally pathetic at day? And isn't Kratos pretty good at day? --- http://i50.tinypic.com/2cmp311.gif Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli Fanboyism |

That pic just works stupidly well for Duke. It's...perfect. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

From: ExThaNemesis | #359 People would want Sephiroth to lose even if you didn't make a single post about the match. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
Not_Wylvane | Posted 1/29/2010 9:31:11 PM | message detail |
And
American Duke is one of my favorite pics ever. It's badass, it's
random, and it's pretty ****ing hilarious. It really does symbolize
everything that is awesome about Duke Nukem while capturing the sense
of humor associated with his games. And hell, I've said before Duke is stronger than most of you expect. But if he does well, most people will blame it on the awesome pic rather than Duke being legit. Really interested in seeing how Charizard does. Pic or not, he's still got the match as far as I care. --- Not Wylvane |

Block
is strong early and fades for the rest of the match, except that the
board hates him now, so he goes up for some time before reaching his
peak. --- 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.... |

My
biggest fear though is something like, Sephiroth coming out and laying
an egg against Vincent and Crono while Snake obliterates all his
opposition or vice versa. I want the match to at least look a bit up in
the air beforehand. --- "I learned in England not to deceive the referees" - Cristiano Ronaldo http://i50.tinypic.com/ohsr5j.jpg |
KamikazePotato | Posted 1/29/2010 9:31:52 PM | message detail |
People don't want Snake to win to make you look bad, they want Snake to win because he's a much better character than Sephiroth. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |
LeonhartFour | Posted 1/29/2010 9:32:20 PM | message detail |
From: MyWorldIsCrono | #360 Yeah, L-Block's day vote is pretty bad, but that's partially because he's generally frontloaded. His day vote last year was bad, but it certainly wasn't bleeding massive amounts of percentage all day like he did in 2007. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
ExThaNemesis | Posted 1/29/2010 9:32:28 PM | message detail |
From: LeonhartFour | #363 Yes they would, but it wouldn't be to the level that it's going to be. You'll see what I mean! --- "I learned in England not to deceive the referees" - Cristiano Ronaldo http://i50.tinypic.com/ohsr5j.jpg |

I'm not complaining about the Snake > Sephiroth supporters. A lot less brackets for me to worry about! --- Not Wylvane |
LeonhartFour | Posted 1/29/2010 9:33:16 PM | message detail |
And almost right on cue, L-Block loses .5% on an update. --- "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!" |

My
biggest fear though is something like, Sephiroth coming out and laying
an egg against Vincent and Crono while Snake obliterates all his
opposition or vice versa. I want the match to at least look a bit up in
the air beforehand. Nah, that would make the hype more intense. Snake has to look like he has a chance for it to be exciting, and if Sephiroth and Snake both put up equal performances before, Seph will be the huge favorite by match time. Just look at 2005: Sephiroth failed horribly against Bowser and Ganondorf while Mario rampaged his way through the main bracket. Then he got slaughtered. --- 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.... |
TheResurrECtion | Posted 1/29/2010 9:33:25 PM | message detail |
yeah, only a true beast like Samus could take down Seph. --- Can't stop, won't stop. |
LeonhartFour | Posted 1/29/2010 9:33:48 PM | message detail |
From: ExThaNemesis | #370 *shrugs* You can't do anything to make this board hate Sephiroth more than it already does. --- "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!" |
ExThaNemesis | Posted 1/29/2010 9:33:58 PM | message detail |
From: KamikazePotato | #368 I'm looking to mix both of these together so much that everyone on the board is going to be chomping at the bit for this match for one reason or another! And Snake is awesome. That's part of what makes this so good. I'm going to be ragging on a character that is so universally liked and is consensus maybe the best character in the contest. --- "I learned in England not to deceive the referees" - Cristiano Ronaldo http://i50.tinypic.com/ohsr5j.jpg |

His day vote last year was bad, but it certainly wasn't bleeding massive amounts of percentage all day like he did in 2007. And yet Ryu still lost the day vote to L-Block. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |
LeonhartFour | Posted 1/29/2010 9:35:41 PM | message detail |
From: -LusterSoldier- | #377 Cube and L-Block both had weird trends in their first round matches. They basically lost ground until they were about to lose the lead, and then they...just kept fighting back and never gave it up. It's almost uncanny how similar their first round and second round matches were. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

People don't want Snake to win to make you look bad, they want Snake to win because he's a much better character than Sephiroth. Well that and, I have 100 bucks riding on that magnificent eunich. --- Ah, you know it's funny, these people, they go to sleep. They think everything's fine, everything's good...

LeonhartFour | Posted 1/29/2010 9:37:33 PM | message detail |
From: MyWorldIsCrono | #380 I think we basically suspected as much at the time, too. Not that it really matters because they end up advancing anyway. --- "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!" |

So what's everyone's view on Isaac/Layton? I don't see Isaac losing, but at the same time Layton will at least look respectable in the match. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 21/28 - Today's Winners: HK-47 and Isaac |

Isaac wins in a boring match that's never really in doubt while I play video games and do homework most of the day instead. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

It's not weird, it's just easy to rally L-block. Hey guys, vote for this block from Tetris! Tetris is awesome! I even mention in my crew writeup that if HK were to win this match, it'd have to be by more than 51% because L-block fans would not allow it to lose by that close of a margin. --- CBVIII: 25/27 - 25 pts - Losses: Ocelot, Liquid Day Pick: Bowser Night Pick: L-Block |

Isaac
wasn't that impressive in his match while Layton has a new game plus
his first game was released in Europe (which for what ever reason loved
it) --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 21/28 - Today's Winners: HK-47 and Isaac |
LeonhartFour | Posted 1/29/2010 9:41:02 PM | message detail |
Going
even with Lucario is a lot more impressive than failing to get 10% in a
fourpack with Chief, Raiden, and Kain Highwind. Layton's just not the
sort of character that's going to be particularly strong here or
anywhere. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
KamikazePotato | Posted 1/29/2010 9:41:12 PM | message detail |
Going even with Lucario is enough to double Layton. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |
RPGuy96 | Posted 1/29/2010 9:41:30 PM | message detail |
Critical thinking is the key to success. And Isaac only got 60% on Mancomb Seepgood. Layton can't be that bad. --- Mustache...and Green... http://backloggery.com/rpguy96 |

Guybrush would probably beat Layton 55-45. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |
KamikazePotato | Posted 1/29/2010 9:42:29 PM | message detail |
And Isaac was LFFing with Lucario at the time anyway, so he would probably double Guybrush. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |
MyWorldIsCrono | Posted 1/29/2010 9:43:01 PM | message detail |
From: KamikazePotato | #392 Nah, Layton would beat him 70-30%. If Guybrush couldnt' get over 30% against ryo, he ain't getting above 30% on anyone --- http://i50.tinypic.com/2cmp311.gif Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli Fanboyism |

Isaac
/ Layton feels like one of those things where the stats are all against
it, but it will totally go in favor of Layton because like... it
should? It just feels right maybe I shouldn't have made Isaac's picture so awesome... I probably shot myself in the foot ;>_> --- For your health. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Cyclo/pokewhat.jpg This is my Chocomander, KrahenProphet |
KamikazePotato | Posted 1/29/2010 9:46:12 PM | message detail |
Man you guys are overthinking this. See Laharl/Neku? Well, Isaac is probably stronger than Laharl, and Layton is definitely weaker than Neku. And Isaac has a big picture advantage in a match of the unknowns. It's not going to be pretty! --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |
