There
was a lot of nastiness around that match, mostly from Vincent/Kerrigan
fallout. Vincent/Dante put an end to the Vincent > Crono hype. --- 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: LeonhartFour | Posted: 2/7/2010 1:03:13 AM | #045 He can happily have the last word, because Bacon allows people to circumvent the entire mod system. This topic just got 99% less annoying, for example. --- "Spoil FFX for me. I'm never going to play that game so I want to know if Jecht's going to be another Auron or another Sin." -Soul on PW vs Jecht |

Seriously, with all the crazy **** that happened in that division, Dante/Vincent doesn't stand out to me at all. Hell, I even remember a few people predicting Terra > Dante, not to mention debates like Vincent/Kerrigan, Magus/Squall, and the incredible (at the time) Knuckles > Magus upset that shocked everyone here. --- Not Wylvane |

From: KamikazePotato | Posted: 2/7/2010 1:04:07 AM | #050 Did he seriously call SPY a joke character? So he hasn't played Team Fortress 2, either. What terrible gaming taste, good god. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´`·.,¸¸,.·´ The wheel of fate is turning. |

Oh,
I remember what you're talking about specifically now- that argument
between Chichiri and someone that I didn't bother to read owing to it
being pages of walls of text. --- 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.... |

Oh,

From: red sox 777 | #056 Yes, that's the one. I don't think the guy's been back since, thankfully. I remember there were multiple stat topics where those two argued with one another in complete isolation from everybody else. That was bad. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

Anyone got any hilarious excerpts from those arguments? I don't feel like going through the old topics for a cheap laugh. --- Not Wylvane |

WTF was it about? Did one guy have etryu-like obsession with Dante? --- 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 |
LeonhartFour | Posted 2/6/2010 10:08:18 PM | message detail |
From: KamikazePotato | #059 Chichiri got involved. That's really all you need to know. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |

From: KamikazePotato | #059 That's a really good question. Of all the matches to get pissed about, seriously? --- Not Wylvane |

HEY GUYS! Mario is a joke character, since he's happy-go-lucky and is extremely fun in his games. Also Spy is clearly a joke character. Why else would Valve give him this much back story? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnuYi-nzE90 --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´`·.,¸¸,.·´ Don't you think my eyebrows rock? |
LeonhartFour | Posted 2/6/2010 10:08:50 PM | message detail |
And I'm trying to find one of the topics, but it's hard to know where they start. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Not_Wylvane | Posted 2/6/2010 10:09:16 PM | message detail |
And Chichiri sounds familiar, but I can't remember whether I liked or hated him, or hell, anything he ever did here. --- Not Wylvane |

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY DANTE IS DOING WELL AGAINST VINCENT ...Yeah, just can't get into it. I can't imagine anyone flipping out over that. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

Well,
take how dumb Ulti and charon are being a multiply it by a 2000
characters per post and several stats topics and you get the general
idea. --- Mustache...and Green... |
UltimaterializerX | Posted 2/6/2010 10:10:08 PM | message detail |
All
things considered, Chichiri is DAMN fun when he does the "argue angry"
thing. Massive walls of text, and he tends to be correct. My one-liners
cannot compare. Does anyone know which stat topic that all happened in? --- I am the Dragon of Blood, a relentless prince of pain Renouncing God on His throne, my blood is forever stained. |
Not_Wylvane | Posted 2/6/2010 10:10:46 PM | message detail |
And who was Chichiri arguing with anyway? And which side supported which character? --- Not Wylvane |

Man, going through these old Stats topics are funny. This makes me ask this: would anybody take Auron over Magus? XD --- 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 |

From: LeonhartFour | Posted: 2/7/2010 1:08:50 AM | #065 It's embarrassing to admit this, but topics 1 and 402 are the only ones I can specifically remember.

LeonhartFour | Posted 2/6/2010 10:13:41 PM | message detail |
From: UltimaterializerX | #077 Well, yeah, it's not like there's any reason to remember specific numbers. Except for like topics 175-182 being Kefka/Vercetti, or somewhere in that range. And old stat topics are good for a few roffles. --- "Spoil it for me. I'm never going to play that game so I want to know if he's going to be another Auron or another Sin." - Soul about Jecht vs. PW |

Hell, I don't even know if I posted in the Stats topics in 2003, or when I started posting here if not then. I don't know when I became a regular either. Oh well, go figure. --- Not Wylvane |

So is this Leon doing poorly or Vault Boy being a beast? I hope it's the latter. --- Oh, sorry, I got distracted by KrahenProphet. http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=99 |
LeonhartFour | Posted 2/6/2010 10:14:43 PM | message detail |
From: KamikazePotato | #075 Yes, after Vincent got 79% and Tifa got 79%, people were like, "Dude, Vincent and Tifa are Cloud and Sephiroth proxies since they're not in the contest! They're totally gonna win!" Or something similar. ...I don't even want to begin to think about all of the ridiculous theories we've come up with that haven't panned out over the years. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |

The original stat topic will always be my favorite. NeoElfboy for life. He still follows us, and loved the Sonic Team angst. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´`·.,¸¸,.·´ There's no point in hiding! |

From: Scott_Pilgrim | #082 Leon has no reason to do poorly... all of the other RE characters have looked very good. This should mean Vault boy is a legit low midcarder. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/2wmghtl.jpg Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli Fanboyism |
PhredPhelps | Posted 2/6/2010 10:15:45 PM | message detail |
I haven't really read a stats topic in a long time Thank you Ulti and vcharon for reminding me why that is btw learn the difference between a goddam "REAL" character vs a NOVELTY vs a JOKE REAL (actual character with plot significance that people like for their respective roles/design): Leon, Cloud, Sonic, etc NOVELTY (actual character with plot significance that fans of the game will rally around to be ironic and/or because the character symbolizes something larger): Vault Boy, MacMillan, Sackboy, Sandal, etc JOKE (something that cannot be considered a single character by any means but fans and non-fans alike will think it would be funny to see beat a REAL character): WCC, L-Block, Claptrap I hate you all --- SephirothG |
red sox 777 | Posted 2/6/2010 10:16:17 PM | message detail |
The general climate was: Before Vincent/Kerrigan: Vincent supporters: Easy win for Vincent, this is incredibly obvious. Kerrigan supporters: But but but Starcraft! Rallies! Comebacks! Korea! 5 minutes into Vincent/Kerrigan, when Vincent already had 78%: Vincent just won his division. Magus is toast. Forget Magus, Vincent is going to beat Crono! Vincent's going to win the main bracket! --- 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.... |

wonder how badly votals are going to suffer tomorrow with two weak
characters and the Super Bowl. It might be the only match that could
approach Laharl/Neku. --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/5nw45i.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I
do remember the morning I checked Vincent/Kerrigan. I hadn't bought
into the hype, and thought that Vincent would do well and get a
doubling. Then I voted. Literally winced as I realized what the board was going to look like when I checked it. --- KrahenProphet lived up to his name. |

I've never played Portal but a cursory look at WCC is that it's an inanimate object I could be wrong, it could be a novelty --- SephirothG |

Going by that Claptrap should be in novelty as well. --- Oh, sorry, I got distracted by KrahenProphet. http://thengamer.com/guru/bracket.php?id=99 |

NOVELTY
(actual character with plot significance that fans of the game will
rally around to be ironic and/or because the character symbolizes
something larger): Vault Boy, MacMillan, Sackboy, Sandal, etc What exactly is Vault Boy's plot significance? --- From his looks Magus is Macho Man Randy Savage as an anime zombie. The black wind howls, and one of you will snap into a Slim Jim ooh yeeeah! -sonicblastpunch |
