From: LeonhartFour | #250 I always read it, and its one of my favorite parts of the stats topic. I just never comment on it due to nothing really to say about it. But still its very useful and I hope you continue it :) --- http://i48.tinypic.com/b8mkn7.jpg Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli Fanboyism |

I
still think Guybrush will avoid the tripling. There's no way this won't
be his best year yet, and it's kind of a shame that Guybrush doesn't
get to have his own fodder/fodder match like Laharl and Ratchet got.
For all we know, Guybrush might be high fodder now! --- Not Wylvane |

Oh,
this says nothing about Zelda/Ezio, or almost nothing anyway. It says
way way more about Travis (about whose strength we knew little) than
about Zelda (a well established contest regular). --- 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, Leon's charts are pretty interesting. Just not really discussion-worthy, but still nice to look at. At least Zelda tries to do stuff. She's the one who forms the plot against Ganondorf in OoT as a ten-year-old girl. It kinda fails, but still not bad for a kid her age. She's also pretty badass in WW, at least until she spends the rest of the game underwater. Better than Tingle stalking you because you dress like a fairy and wanting to molest you. I still want a Link/Tingle match. --- Not Wylvane |
red sox 777 | Posted 2/3/2010 9:30:12 PM | message detail |
And
yes, I consider it a huge insult that Nintendo did not allow us to
navigate and find the triforce pieces ourselves, but had Tingle do a
stupid dance that didn't even involve the least bit of cartographic
skill and made us pay 398 rupees for it.....8 times. --- 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.... |
TheCodeisBosco | Posted 2/3/2010 9:30:16 PM | message detail |
Yeah,
thanks for providing the charts, Leon! They're always interesting to
look at. I'm pretty shocked Ratchet managed a 70% hour. Marin is my LoZ girl of choice. She's probably my favorite female video game character, all things considered. Great character from a stellar game - I wonder how she'd do in a contest? After all, Link's Awakening did quite well in the last game contest. --- KRATOS > CHARIZARD: Somehow, I found an upset even dumber than Fawful > GlaDOS. |

Oh,
and as for Sandal/Eddie comparisons: Based on the 2008 stats, WCC beats
Ratchet with 77.08%, which means that Sandal basically doubles Eddie. Although my projections request involved WCC's, Ratchet's, and Sandal's performance during this contest so far. I wasn't asking for projections using the stats of previous contests. Plus, I think WCC overperformed a bit last year. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

Midna
and Link-after-reading-that-one-wrteup are the only worthwhile
characters in the Zelda series. And I love the Zelda series. I would vote The Moon from Majora's Mask over pretty much everyone else! --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

From: MyWorldIsCrono | #272 Tingle will get way too many joke votes. You need someone that can't possibly be anti-voted against someone pitifully generic and weak.

From: MyWorldIsCrono | #272 That's why we have to figure out a way to make Tingle a 16-seed next year. Link/Tingle is a match that needs to happen. It'll give a good barometer in anti-votes, give us an epic SFF smackdown, and it'll make Tingle look even more pathetic than he already appears, if that's even possible. Tingle must make it in so that miserable little ****er can suffer. --- Not Wylvane |
red sox 777 | Posted 2/3/2010 9:34:31 PM | message detail |
Link/Tingle
ought to be the biggest blowout ever, but I have little faith in
Gamefaqs making it happen. If 25% of voters chose Tingle over Sora,
clearly not everyone hates him. It only takes like 1 out of 18 people
voting for Tingle over Link because they think it's funny to get him
past Tanner's percentage against Snake. --- 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.... |

obscure FPS guy is all you need to recreate Snake/Tanner. The hardest

it'll give Link the highest prediction percentage ever, as only

their favorite bracket? --- Not Wylvane |

His
picture can't be appealing. His name can't be appealing. Nothing about
him can look like a "joke." No Jay Solano or Lester K. Chaykin. Voters
are too smarky now and joke votes and anti-votes alone will push almost
anything over Tanner's 5.7%. We need to find the absolute essence of
"generic." A character not even the game creator remembers or cares
about. --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/ml36gl_th.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Well, there's virtually no doubt about that, but I wanted to create as big of a blowout as possible. If it wasn't for the LFF that allowed WCC to defeat Mega Man, WCC's X-Stat value would have been a bit lower than it ended up being. So far, no one has done a projection on what WCC gets against Eddie. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ! |

For
the biggest possible blowout... how about Samus or Snake against Agent
Michael Ford, from The Conduit? Samus and Snake probably get less
anti-votes than the rest of the Noble Nine, and Ford is a generic
protagonist from a FPS that was notably disappointing to many who
played it. --- KRATOS > CHARIZARD: Somehow, I found an upset even dumber than Fawful > GlaDOS. |
