GameFAQs Contests

About 24 hours until the third biggest match of the round. Exciting.

Big Daddy gonna dish out the pain! Bioshock 2 boost, baby!

"So cold. I am always by your side."
"There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!"

Wait, Yoshi/Jak is up next?

****, I thought it was Crono/Missingno. God dammit, all that hype for nothing. Who gives a **** about those two losers?

And I'd rather have another ten topics arguing over the merits of Guybrush Threepwood than hear Eternal ****head fellate Ezio's contest prowess for another fifty posts.

Interesting fact Jak received the least nominations before the vote-in with a tie of 196 nominations.

Is there a list of how many noms everybody got somewhere? I'd love to see it.

Nah. I asked Bacon a question about which characters that made the field got the most and least nominations and how many they got. Link got the most (surprise, surprise), and Ocelot and Jak tied for the least.

Ah, okay. Well that's disappointing. Thanks for telling me though!

All I have to say about the whole fodder debate is, I agree with creativename's idea: past performances, when applicable, should influence or even determine seeds. That'd solve a lot of the problems being talked about here.

Cases like Guybrush are kind of hard. The guy got enough nominations for a 9 seed, you can't really drop him by much without looking bias.

Nintendo Power Hour, Board Vote, and all that jazz, and the answer is incredibly obvious, but I absolutely have to ask anyway.

Jak or Guybrush?

If Yoshi does by some miracle make it to Sephiroth, it's going to be the best board vote ever.

"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

If Yoshi can keep up the tripling, he's going to look fantastic. Hell, right now he looks as strong as Vincent, who is pretty much equals with Crono at this point.

I don't even know if I'm taking myself seriously here. I just find it hilarious that Yoshi's doing this well and is pulling the same numbers as Vincent against an obviously stronger opponent.

Yoshi vs Vincent would've been interesting to watch. Instead, we have to settle for... Sephiroth vs Vincent. *facepalm*

"Stay with me until the end. Please."

I don't really know why people thought Yoshi deboosted like crazy last year. Squall is near-elite and a potential NN breaker. Yoshi will be just fine.

Not that I'm biased.

Well, if Yoshi vs Vincent is interesting, presumably Yoshi vs Crono would be interesting. I suspect Yoshi falls to 72-73% here, though that would still be a pretty great result considering the lack of blowouts.
---
Prove me wrong and keep the tripling!

So... anyone changed their mind about Yoshi/Crono maybe being a good match now?

We still have Yoshi/Crono, though, and that may turn out to be more interesting than originally anticipated.

And considering Yoshi broke 40% on Steroid **** Snake, I could see Yoshi breaking 45% on Crono. Still think Crono's the favorite, but it's clear I've been underestimating Yoshi.

This is no big deal. Jak hasn't even been next-gen'd yet; the Jak of 2004 probably kills the Jak of today. The picture also doesn't help him one bit; both guys are bright and cartoonie; Jak would have benefited much more from a starker contrast. Looking good for my Oracle, though.
