GameFAQs Contests

Just got home, and this result owns. Cube winning, Boss keeping it close. Win-win for me.

And it did it one round sooner than it was supposed to, with two massive upsets

Huh? There was only one upset.

I guess you could consider Big Daddy > Soap an upset just because it was a 14 > 3 even though Big Daddy was a Guru favorite and the overall bracket favorite.

Oh no it's Wind Waker Ganondorf!

Time for him to underperform!

Oh wait, didn't we see Wind Waker Zelda last year and she DIDN'T underperform?

I'm confused...

We saw Wind Waker Ganon in the Villains Contest against Robotnik, and he did just fine. It wasn't lawl-worthy like this pic is though.

<.<

Like I've said from the beginning -- Sonic team is just fine. Also the hierarchy goes very simply like:

Sonic > Knuckles > Shadow >= Tails

Sonic was against Lightning, the female version of Cloud, her game was already out in Japan, ported to America by many people I'm sure, and the reviews were out. The hype train was already rolling on Lightning when she faced Sonic -- and MANY characters have been shown to be extremely strong in hype phase. You think every gamer out there doesn't know her game comes out on March 9th? I guarantee that people have been coming to this site just looking for FFXIII reviews before that match and well after. Sonic is a ****ing powerhouse this year and you'll see it. Lightning definitely > Cid Highwind in my mind.

Knuckles got stuck again Cecil in Cecil's first true 1v1 that didn't involve ZOMGNINTENDOBOOST, SFF, and also has the added bonus of exposure from multiple ports of his game to bigger systems AND Dissidia. If you think this is the same Cecil that lost badly to Kirby back then you're delusional. Cecil had final fantasy base behind him for sure. I actually had him losing to Cecil here in anticipation of this, but I am very proud of Knuckles for pulling through.

Shadow got stuck against someone that most of us didn't expect to be as strong as she was. Even so he hung in tight, and Ammy turned around and put up respectable numbers on Luigi. Assuming nobody under or over-performed this makes Shadow look pretty decent (although no where near his peak when he got 45 on MARIO).

Tails? I don't even need to speak for him. His performance speaks for itself.

So finally I leave you with this. Who do you have, Knuckles or Luigi in a match? I honestly think that Knuckles would pull that out with about 51%

I've said this for a while now but the Sonic team just doesn't perform well in the 4 ways. You can say what you want about 4 ways being accurate in terms of contest strength so far -- that doesn't apply to the Sonic team. They thrive in 1v1s because their fanbase is largely static and dependent on who they are facing. They still have their hardcore fans -- but watch out because they are still very strong.

Stop thinking stupid.

The division could redeem itself if Ness/Big Daddy is close, Seph 80-20's Vincent, and if Yoshi upsets M.

Eh, if Yoshi DOES overcome MissingNo, he could potentially bandwagon up to Seph.

And why would an 80-20 Seph blowout be interesting? Except to crush Guybrush in the stats?

;_;

The only way the division redeems itself is if Guybrush > Gordon Freeman is the final.

The Jenova division might end up being fun due to Missingno, however that doesn't change the fact that it was the most epically awful bracket setup in a long, looong time.

It would be interesting (well, more funny than interesting) to see a SFF match go a la Link/Ganon, Seph/Vince is kinda like that.

And Yoshi? Bandwagon? Sephiroth? HA!

Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 2: Yoshi

The Jenova division might end up being fun due to Missingno, however that doesn't change the fact that it was the most epically awful bracket setup in a long, looong time.

This. Even 2004's Hyrule Division and Midgar Division have NOTHING on just how terrible the Jenova division is.

"Here I go! Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia

Epically awful bracket set-up? Sure. Epically awful division? No way. This was the clear "Group of Death" at the start of the tournament, and it turned out to be even tougher than we thought, with Missingno. upsetting Crono and Peach actually standing up to Gordon. Contrast that to the Heart Division, which has absolutely no drama and only four characters with any proven strength, one of which was as a joke-force and another of which already got knocked out because he was up against one of the remaining 2, who by the way are meeting in the division semis, not the division finals. The Heart Division is epically bad, and it's only going to look worse once Mario is done stomping all over the champion in the quarterfinals.

• There are 4 Square near elites or higher in one division.
• Vincent, a potential 7/8th sstrongest entrant is being SFFed in round 2 with no debatable matches.

This is "epically awful".

Sorry, but true.

As someone who has been extremely critical of Luigi since 2008, do you seriously think he would be even with Cecil?

Well I think it's hard sometimes to compare character vs. character directly. Like a lot of Cecil fans might not be fans of Luigi, and vice versa. But I do think that Knuckles would beat Luigi. Knuckles is PROVEN strong in these contests. There's no way he becomes a flop THAT bad. Even if he missed a step I say he's close to Luigi. Let's not forget he posted almost 47% on Squall (a while ago, but still).

I've been saying for a long time that 4 ways don't favor Sonic characters. So take that out of the equation and his last 1v1 contest was when he lost to Squall. That looks pretty good to me.

Four Square near-elites in one division? Check.
Vincent and Tifa wasted? Check.
Boring matches for the most part? Triple-check.

Epically awful, the Jenova division is. And assuming that Sephiroth makes it out, it'll look even worse.

Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 2: Yoshi

Well I think it's hard sometimes to compare character vs. character directly.

In other words, you're just pulling stuff out of thin air and you have nothing to back it up.

Let's not forget he posted almost 47% on Squall (a while ago, but still).

Let's not forget that Squall would whip Knuckles like nobody's business nowadays. What Knuckles could do 5 years ago is irrelevant.
---
"The great GF...Bahamut."
"...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..."

Not really. We expected Seph to make it out, it'd be far worse if MissingNo gets out and ruins the Snake/Sephiroth match which the whole board is anticipating.
---
That would be awful.

Missingno/Cloud or Missingno/Link would be better than Snake/Sephiroth, and Missingno/Sephiroth would be just as good as Snake/Sephiroth.
---
Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 2: Yoshi

Missingno/Cloud or Missingno/Link would be better than Snake/Sephiroth

No, it wouldn't, because if Missingno gets that far, it's almost guaranteed to win. I don't want to see it.
---
"But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside."
"I am lightning...the rain transformed."

I don't think it's guaranteed. Enough voters might get sick of jokes winning for Link to pull it out, and it'll be a 24-hour match too.

Leon you've just been posting extreme opposites of everything I've been saying this contest. So I really don't put much stock in what you are saying. What proof do you have that Squall would whip Knuckles that badly? What hard proof do you have that Lightning < Cid and that Sonic is the weakest of the 'noble nine', I mean, besides that crap you're pulling out of your ass.

Just curious.

Strange, I was thinking the same thing.

What proof do you have that Squall would whip Knuckles that badly?

If Knuckles only getting 52% on Cecil and almost losing to Rikku despite Vaan being in the poll isn't enough proof for you, then I don't know what to tell you.

Well, other than you're a Sonic fanboy who ignores any result that's not favorable to your argument and you bring up a 5-year-old result as if it's more relevant than what happened this year.
---
"So cold. I am always by your side."
"There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!"

Well, the differences between Link and Cloud are that Link is stronger and less hated, and that Missingno will have added one more Noble Niner to its list of defeated when it reaches Link. Although yeah, it's possible (pretty unlikely) that Cloud could be the one to stop the glitch too.
---

Not sure why this hurts Missingno rather than helps it. If it can beat Cloud, people are going to be going crazy over getting Missingno past Link.
---
"So cold. I am always by your side."
"There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!"

My point is that you don't know Knuckles strength in 1v1 now, because 4 ways have shown nothing for Sonic characters. As far as stats are concerned thusfar the 4ways were irrelevant to Sonic characters.

As far as you're concerned, maybe, because the only way for you to deal with them is to discount them entirely.

Dissidia boosted Cecil to the point where he'd 75-25 his prior self!

...Come to think of it, would that even be enough to make that a decent showing by Knuckles? >_>
