Preemptively:
If Duke Nukem gets close to Charizard tonight, that does guarantee a
Kratos win next round. Charizard will pick up a fair amount of strength
going from a night match to a day match, and Duke may have a pretty
substantial picture advantage tonight. Plus Duke is not weak to start
with. --- 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.... |

Who'd
have thought that Duke becoming a joke would lead to him becoming more
powerful than ever, well I guess Arnie made a ton of cash making
comedies, so duke must be going for that route too. If Duke was real, would you vote for him to become the governor of your state? --- Shakes Fist! |

Preemptively: If Duke Nukem gets close to Charizard tonight, that does guarantee a Kratos win next round Did you mean to say does not guarantee? I do think if Duke gets like 45% that pretty much means Kratos wins though. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

The other perfect had Frog > Bowser. Good for him! Speaking of which... Lower thine guard, and thou'rt allowing the enemy in. I don't care if Frog's match was yesterday. All stats topics should begin with a Frog quote. --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

If
it wouldn't result in Biolizard getting pissy, I'd totally make the
next topic right now with "I am a stupid amphibian with a cool sword.
DID I DO IT RIGHT CN?" as the quote. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png |

I
just remembered. They changed Frog's speech in the DS version. For
example, that famous line at the beginning of this topic was changed to: "Lower your guard, and you will allow the enemy in!" This explains why Frog did not get a CTDS boost and break 45% on Bowser. It's true that Frog's speech in the SNES version was not always grammatical, but that matters not! --- 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.... |

LeonhartFour | Posted 1/30/2010 1:35:52 PM | message detail |
If
Duke gets close to Charizard (45%+), then Kratos should definitely be
the favorite going into round 2, barring something absolutely bizarre
in his match with Tails. Going to a day match will help him, but Kratos
has a fine day vote himself. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |

From: LeonhartFour | Posted: 1/30/2010 12:18:51 PM | #039 The idea of one character being the fodder line was always silly. It should be a numerical x-stat value. --- How does it feel when all you're counting on is scatterbrained? |
LeonhartFour | Posted 1/30/2010 1:42:55 PM | message detail |
The problem is that there's really been no way to measure it for years now. We don't know what 20% on BL even is anymore. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
red sox 777 | Posted 1/30/2010 1:47:50 PM | message detail |
I'd be fine with making it 20% on the current Link instead of 2002/3 Link. --- 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.... |
LeonhartFour | Posted 1/30/2010 1:48:46 PM | message detail |
I guess we can do that. This is the first year we'll even be able to do a 20% on Link since 2005 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!" |
creativename | Posted 1/30/2010 1:49:51 PM | message detail |
Base
Link isn't really necessary, nor really even computable, way too much
has changed. It should just be based on the winner (like sox said,
typically current Link). --- gamefaqscontests.com gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

20% against the winner as the fodder line is a bit high, but nobody seems to be getting blown out anyways. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 21/28 - Today's Winners: HK-47 and Isaac |

KanzarisKelshen | Posted 1/30/2010 2:29:17 PM | message detail |
I'd
say 17-18% is a better fodder line than 20, IMO. There's a bunch of
characters hovering around 20 who are almost indisputably low
midcarders, while there's few characters with 18% who you could argue
to beat down a regular entrant. --- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. |

KamikazePotato | Posted 1/30/2010 3:29:36 PM | message detail |
Okay, just marathoned all of the Dissidia cutscenes on youtube to see who would potentially boost the most. 1. I can completely buy Kefka boosting now. Woah. 2. What kind of an abortion of a storyline was that. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |
TheKoolAidShoto | Posted 1/30/2010 3:31:29 PM | message detail |
From: KamikazePotato | #132 Its amazingly awful, but Kefka is great, even if he SMACK down in the middle of fanfic territory. You can try to find a coherent plotline in there, but you'd JUST BE WASTING YOUR TIME! --- holy crap, you used an apostrophe to make a word plural at least 3 times in that post. that's like cryptonite to me if I was batman - Bako Ikporamee |

When the game's closest parallel has the Story Mode of Subspace Emissary, Dissidia looks like a work of literary genius. --- turnturnturn your brain in http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |
KamikazePotato | Posted 1/30/2010 3:39:36 PM | message detail |
Yeah outside of Kefka and Jecht no one really stood out. They were pretty much all the same way they were in their games. Maybe Zidane and Squall get a little extra boost, but it wouldn't be anything huge. Kefka though? Completely awesome. Made me a fan and I wasn't one before! (this is all excluding the natural increased exposure boost) --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

And uh...Subapce Emissary's story > Dissidia's story. There's a reason everyone in SSE doesn't talk. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

Just how bad is Dissidia's story anyway? Gimme examples. --- Ah, you know it's funny, these people, they go to sleep. They think everything's fine, everything's good... They wake up the next day and they're on fire. |

Imagine
every FF protagonist contemplating the meaning of dreams, friendship,
purpose, and destiny in literally every scene they're in. Often in
tandem with each other. Also, only one villain has any sort of real
plan. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |
