It
directly shows your character losing to the one you were calling a
weakling. I know Altair is likely stronger now but still, it was pretty
funny. Charizard would beat Altair and easily. --- "I learned in England not to deceive the referees" - Cristiano Ronaldo http://i50.tinypic.com/ohsr5j.jpg |

I
love how people can get all hyped about Charizard winning over a fodder
char, but Altair destroying a universally accepted
midcarder-highmidcarder means that they other character dropped because
there's no way Altair is that strong. If you ask me, what you're doing is no different. Liquid was overrated in the stats in 2008.

Duke
beat Altair in a 4 way, and Altair had to compete with two
smash/pokemon characters, and then Link and Zack (who would have a
large portion of Altair votes.) I say in a one on one Altair, even
without WSF and AC2, would have beaten Duke. Let alone now. Altair is
stronger than Charizard. --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |

the stats in 2008. After all, this IS the same guy who allowed Lavos to
break 45% on him. Again, Liquid has at least been ranked decently before the 4ways, and has a believable reason for boosting (MGS4).

From: red sox 777 | #361 60% On Jill is at least worth high-end mid-carder. If Tails is still as bad as he's been in the past this would imply that Kratos either dropped or moved nowhere since his loss to Ryu. --- *is Dranze* Krahen Prophet did a fatality. |

Kratos
will probably still rise a few points from here. He's probably a few
points below Kirby- better than he was in 2006, but not quite a
near-elite. Ryu did manage to beat Auron with Cloud in the poll, while
Kratos couldn't beat him with Sephiroth in the poll, after all. --- 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: EternalxCourage | #368 Duke beat Altair in a 4 way, and Altair had to compete with two smash/pokemon characters So Altair benefitted from LFF, K. and then Link and Zack (who would have a large portion of Altair votes.) And.. Duke didn't? Duke is a Western badass. Altair is a Western badass. Saying that one should be disproportionately disadvantaged is a shot in the dark at best. I say in a one on one Altair, even without WSF and AC2, would have beaten Duke. Based on what? Let alone now. Altair is stronger than Charizard. Again, with what are you basing this on? Your decision of where you think Duke is based on hocus pocus and BELIEVE? --- U Mad? |

If Liquid really DID boost, he wouldn't have done as badly as he did against Altair, now would he? Or Altair just boosted a lot more. Not inconceivable. Considering it was a 4 way format and not a good measure of Altair's strength to begin with -- we don't even know what his base value was. I doubt that he has a lot of hardcore fans as it is, so others might be more drawn to the other options in a 4 way. But at this point he's had enough time with his first game, and the success of the second game (and the impending 3rd game that everyone is waiting for.) It's definitely not inconceivable that Altair boosted a lot while we just underestimated his 1v1 strength to begin with, and Liquid dropped a bit. --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |
