I saw the comments and was expecting some sort of weird abomination for Ganondorf but it wasn't really all that bad. Am I missing something? >_>

Zack looks less like Cloud in his pic. Underperformance imminent.

People who vote for Zack because he looks like Cloud are losers! Much better reasons to vote for Zack than this!

I don't even know if you could call that a smile. More like a glaring smirk

A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice.

Smirks don't show teeth, and they're definitely not that wide!

Ganondorf looks like the guy who farted in the elevator and is trying not to laugh about it so no one knows it was him.

XDDD

Ken>Ganondorf...Possible? I mean, look at that abomination!
...Ganondorf would probably still win even with a CD-i picture, but Ken has a chance to prove that he is not so horrible now and at least look good. Like 30%?

Man, I gotta say this round 2 theme is no good.

Indeed.

I really don't like the framing of the pictures.

That said I think I have one great rally push in me -- and I'm going to rally for Ken I think. Now that rallying is allowed of course. I will also obviously be rallying for Ezio. But Ken is more important to me as a character and I hope he can pull it off.

Also wouldn't it be awesome if Sonic broke 70% on Knux?

Character Battle VIII - 57/68 - Today's Winners: Luigi and The Boss

The picture framing is hit-or-miss with me. It just depends on the picture chosen. Honestly, for Luigi, as much as I don't like the picture, the framing worked for him, and it worked for Ammy, so it was a good pic. Link/Alucard was pretty good, and it worked for them. It's got to be a pretty simple picture for it to work though. Anything too over the top and it looks bad.

Elevator-farting Ganon ftl

I was very happy with the Zack pic, because I knew the buster sword would be hidden by the Round 2 Frames. Good old Crisis Core pretty boy shot ^_^

And hey, picked my Ryu H. Even though I have MC winning, it would be great to see the Super Dragon Ninja pull this off.

i'm going to say that luigi vs. wwc is a toss up match

luigi did really weak against ammy but wwc is doing not the greatest against the boss

though, maybe i'm underestimating the boss's strength since he did beat nathan drake as well

oh wait LOL nathan drake

luigi > wwc

Now this is entertainment!

You guys have a pretty high opinion of Kirby after a loss to Big Boss and a 4-way bandwagon. Not that I really mind, I'll enjoy Big Boss giving Mario a match if you're all right about Kirby's strength.

KrahenProphet and Nintendo cleaned me out in the Guru Contest.

Hah and people thought Bacondorf was bad XD

Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. KrahenProfit > Me

I still have the mindset he didn't lose to big boss, He lost to Snake.

and then went on to beat him. Kirby made no sense.

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.

Contest score: 59/70 Today's picks: Luigi & The Boss

From: Shoenin_Kakashi | #179

and then went on to beat him. Kirby made no sense.

Yeah, not like Raiden was LFFing Big Boss in round 2 or anything.
---
"But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside."
"I am lightning...the rain transformed."

Raiden got rSFF'd in the ground there, we all know Raiden is actually stronger than Big Boss.

If you're seeing this sig, I'm not on my computer!

And then went on to lose to him again!


And I didn't recognize Zack at first, either. It's a good picture, but as somebody that has only played FF7 out of his library of games, I didn't have much of a clue who he was. I'm pretty sure that's the first time I've had that problem with him.

Round 1, Has Snake pic. Beats Kirby rather easily.
Round 2, Has Big Boss pic. Dies along with Raiden.

The latter isn't true. Boss SFF'd the hell out of Raiden and may have actually won the match if Raiden wasn't there. In a 3way and with a Snake pic, Boss would have cleaned house.

Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world!

Fact/Fiction: Sonic breaks 60% on Knuckles (or I guess we should ask if you think Sonic is going to SFF Knux)

I have a feeling Knux is going to rSFF Sonic. Sonic is being hated big time, and in an inter-franchise match like this, I believe Knux can take advantage of it. 55% for Sonic max.

Fact/Fiction: Ganondorf doubles Ken

Pretty close. I'm going to guess a little under, but it will still be a pretty strong showing for Ganondorf.

"Calling Pokemon RBY a top 10 game was the most insane contest jibba-jabba ever
Woe unto he who sig bets with the near-invincible Lord High creativename

I'm pretty sure that's the first time I've had that problem with him.

It's not much different from this:

http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/albums/cb7/cb7-33.jpg

Round 2, Has Big Boss pic. Dies along with Raiden.

Big Boss still got 45.40% on Kirby in that round with Raiden obviously hampering him. He probably does better with a Naked Snake pic, but it's pretty obvious that Big Boss is pretty beastly in any form now.
---
"But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside."
"I am lightning...the rain transformed."

Yeah, Big Boss probably wins that match (or at least advances) without Raiden. Then we could've had Sonic in fourth place two rounds later!
---
Mustache...and Green...

Hey, just a heads up, never talk to GMUN about contest related affairs "seriously".

Anyone else think MC > Ryu just based on Spy >> Crash? Or does Crash have some fight left in him yet?

---
Metal Gear Solid OOOOOWWWWNS!

MC could easily beat MC. They're on the exact same tier and MC gets anti voted a lot.

Thing is, it's a day match (or so I believe) and Halo is getting Reach soon (lots of news coming out about it) and new maps or something for ODST (again, I believe). He should be pretty safe, but anything could happen in that match.

You guys have a pretty high opinion of Kirby after a loss to Big Boss and a 4-way bandwagon. Not that I really mind, I'll enjoy Big Boss giving Mario a match if you're all right about Kirby's strength.

I agree with this. Also, Kirby's first round match with Rikku looks bad if you take the vote-ins at face value, because going through Rikku and Frog, they imply he gets like 43% on Bowser now.
---
Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 2: Yoshi

There's also the issue of MC drawing in 30k more votes than Ryu. I gotta say MC is the big favorite here, but who knows with Ryu and his ridiculous matches (Riku anyone?).

---
Metal Gear Solid OOOOOWWWWNS!

Basically, don't be disappointed if Big Boss doesn't put on any fireworks against Mario. 40% will be satisfactory, and I probably have one of the lowest opinions of post-2008 Mario here. Master Chief and the other people in that pack are not that strong.
---
Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 2: Yoshi

Also, Soul, would you say Crash > Spy then?

---
Metal Gear Solid OOOOOWWWWNS!

You can't ask me that because I'm a huge Spy fan and would take him in most debatable matches. It would be close though.

Anyway, time to finish grades!

Midgar Division Grades

Cloud Strife - This was a pretty bad performance for Cloud, but I don't think it's quite as bad as everyone else thinks it is. I think the fact that Ridley has a picture that doesn't look like a red streak of nothing helped him a good bit. Still a pretty sorry showing for Cloud though.

Grade: C-

Ridley - He did a lot better than most people expected or that he reasonably should have. Was this all FFVII anti-voting or just Ridley benefiting from a good picture for once? Time will tell.

Grade: B

Chris Redfield - He doubled up Swamp Thing, but I wasn't particularly impressed with it. After how well RE5 has done in this contest, I honestly expected 70%+ for Chris because MacMillan is trash. I thought he could do better than this, but that's just personal expectations though. It wasn't that bad.

Grade: C

Captain MacMillan - Nothing really to say about this guy other than the fact that it's sad that this guy will probably become a contest regular with how popular Call of Duty seems to be nowadays.

Grade: F

Riku - Only getting 62% on a guy who barely beat Laharl and lost to Hogger is pretty bad. He had a great morning vote though, which saved him from the embarrassment of getting less than 60% overall. He gave Captain Falcon pickers hope for next round.

Grade: C-

Ramza Beoulve - Unfortunately, last year may have been Ramza's best chance of ever getting to round two, and after blowing it against Hogger, he's basically stuck with being a first round punching bag for midcarders. Oh well.

Grade: D

Captain Falcon - After Riku underachieved, Captain Falcon had a chance to establish himself as a solid favorite with a strong performance against Wander, who was one of the contest's weakest characters both years of 4-ways. Well...he didn't. He only got 71% and made me feel like he relinquished favorite status back to Riku because I'd have to think Ramza beats Wander pretty easily. Falcon can still win, certainly, but underperforming against the worst of fodder characters certainly isn't inspiring.

Grade: C-

Wander - He got nearly 29% on a character who actually may not be fodder. That's better than I would've figured Wander could do.

Grade: D+

Leon Kennedy - While I think this match was more Vault Boy impressing than Leon disappointing, I also think that it proves that, even with a general RE boost, Leon's still not going to compete with Leon/Ryu in round 3.

Grade: C-

Vault Boy - I was very impressed with Vault Boy. I had no idea he could be strong enough to get nearly 40% on a solid midcarder and basically showed that he was actually a low midcarder himself. Definitely a guy worth bringing back next year and could create an intriguing matchup with someone like, say...Donkey Kong or Kefka.

Grade: B+

Sackboy - I was impressed with how easily and how handily Sackboy won this match. He might have shown himself to be the strongest PS3-exclusive character (Well, there is the LittleBigPlanet on PSP, so maybe I should say this-gen Sony exclusive) out there. Sackboy vs. Nathan Drake: Who you got?

Grade: A

Kratos Aurion - I expected better from Kratos here. I didn't think he was quite this weak. Maybe Sackboy's actually pretty decent, but we won't find out until he faces Leon later this round. As it stands, Kratos didn't even put up a fight here.

Grade: D-
---
"I can set you free, mate."
"My freedom was forfeit long ago!"

Ryu - He did everything he needed to do to make it look like he can take on Dante next round. This is one of the few anticipated round 2 matchups where both characters impressed and looked good rather than both characters seeming pretty underwhelming. It's nice to know that both Ryu and Dante look to be going into round 2 in good shape.

Grade: A-

Balthier Bunansa - Like Ramza, it makes me sad that someone like Balthier is going to be limited to being a punching bag in these contests, but at least he made it past the first round once.

Grade: F

Dante - After Ryu's performance on Balthier had everyone talking about how good he was looking going into that round 2 matchup, Dante goes out and puts up a great performance of his own. He was even outdoing Mega Man's performance on Axel in 2006 for a little while before the KH ASV brought it down. Even at the end, it was a strong performance, and Dante gave me my first #1 Oracle prediction ever! Huzzah!

Grade: A

Axel - Riku looked pretty unimpressive earlier in this division, and Axel followed suit. Thankfully, the KH ASV saved a little bit of his dignity and got him above 30%, but he still looked pretty bad.

Grade: F

Star of the Division: Dante
Turd of the Division: Kratos Aurion
---
"I can set you free, mate."
"My freedom was forfeit long ago!"

Gear Division Grades

Solid Snake - This wasn't a stellar performance or anything, but Protoman is an unknown quantity overall. His only match before this was against Zero in 2004, and Snake did better on Protoman than Zero did, which doesn't really mean anything, I guess.

Grade: C

Protoman - Pretty good performance from Protoman overall. He showed that he's at least worth bringing back next year and can probably win a match if you put him with someone who's not Snake or can SFF him.

Grade: C+

Lloyd Irving - I wasn't expecting Lloyd to be competitive or anything, but getting doubled by Fox is pretty bad. Not that Fox is weak or anything, but he's probably just an average midcarder.

Grade: F

Fox McCloud - He made Lloyd Irving look as bad as SFF'd Pikachu. I'm interested to see how well Fox can do on Snake next round because we've never really gotten a clear read on the guy since the very first contest. He should do pretty well.

Grade: A-

Pikachu - People were curious to see how Pikachu would handle 1-on-1 and the anti-voting and the answer is...He can do just fine. He may have laid a little SFF on Banjo (Not totally convinced about that myself, but it's a possibility), but Pikachu with a tripling on anybody means he's come a long way from less than 55% on PaRappa the Rapper.

Grade: A

Banjo - He couldn't even get 25% on Pikachu. Why does this guy keep coming back?

Grade: F

Commander Shepard - While I think this match speaks more for how weak Ellis is than how strong Shepard may or may not have become, a tripling on anyone is pretty impressive, especially now that we're on anti-blowoutFAQs. I don't think anyone expected him to do anywhere near this well.

Grade: A+

Ellis - When we're discussing whether or not you can beat Eddie Riggs or Sandal after your round one match, you can rest assured you did pretty badly.

Grade: F

Auron - He did basically what he needed to against Aerith to keep himself looking good for that round three showdown with Squall. The way he let Aerith gain percentage on him so easily is a little troubling, but that's just how FFVII rolls these days. Good, but not great performance.

Grade: C+

Aerith Gainsborough - Aerith proves the old mantra to be true: You just don't SFF FFVII unless you're also an FFVII character. You'd figure if any matchup would tend itself to an SFF beatdown, it'd be something like Auron/Aerith, but she did very well for herself and showed she's still got some strength left.

Grade: B-

Zero - A good performance for Zero after his awful showing in the 2008 contest. He won't be beating Auron, but he should do respectably.

Grade: B+

Marcus Fenix - Gears of War continues to fall off the face of the earth.

Grade: F

Darth Revan - I comment at length about Revan on The Show (</shameless plug>), so I'll just give my grade now.

Grade: F

Terra Branford - Old School FF continues to impress. Terra was a pretty big underdog going into this match, and she won this match without much trouble.

Grade: B+

Squall Leonhart - He did about what was expected on Akuma here. It's hard to say how good or bad it was because we don't know much about where Akuma stands, but Squall still remains the favorite in round three after this one.

Grade: C+

Akuma - Give this guy a winnable match next year, please.

Grade: D

Star of the Division: Commander Shepard
Turd of the Division: Darth Revan
