GameFAQs Contests

Assassin's Creed is nowhere NEAR the equal of FF9. Gimme a break. Nobody even recognizes Altair's picture. Meanwhile, black mages are a gaming icon. Recognizable from many FF games.

for anyone in the vivi camp, gimme a ^5!

Shakes Fist!

^5

KrahenProphet lived up to his name.

I wish I had gone higher on my Oracle for Vivi. I chickened out!

And this makes Alucard/Liquid round 2 in 2007 look like the more legitimate result!
---
"Stay with me until the end. Please."
"Not until the end. Always."

Wow, Liquid must blow then.

How the HELL did he do so well last year?

Probably ends around 55-45.

The difference between arrogance and confidence is confidence acts rather than speaks.
Sir Chris

even better, how bout that Snake > Seph upset

^5!

And Vivi's not sowing down yet! He might be able to essentially put this away at the 10 minute update.

Also LOL Ezio > Zelda upset train.

Good performance by the top performers again. The top 3 tiers go perfect and the top 8 stay above 90.

No one fell off top 50. That'll change with the current match.

^5 Voltch!

You, Wigs and Ulti crashing out on the same match? I chatted to the contest gods, now WAY was I allowing that.
---
*shudder*

Ouch, getting blown out early. I guess Altair could still win, but he needs to get in gear quick. Altair is just going to improve as we move away from the board vote and while he will be doing percentage cuts, the lead cuts are what's going to be most important here.

Popular at school, but not as cool as KrahenProphet, Guru Champ!

I will say that this is partially due to the pic. Altair and Ezio are very pic-dependent; Altair's R1 pic advantage vs. Liquid was huge. Here, he's got the pic disadvantage.

TRE, can you cross reference the Top 50s from the first round to work out who didn't have Vivi in this match?
---
Por favor.

Woah! This is pretty shocking. Is it possible that Altair is being Hayabusa'd due to Vivi having great character design as well.

---
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

Alright, if this keeps up and Vivi wins, maybe I won't get shafted much from reaching the leaderboard.
Assuming that not many people picked Vivi to win that is.

Can you overcome me?

Well at least Altair will have no trouble doing better than DK ... uuh if that's any consolation

Being hidden behind LFF for the next two rounds hindered us from spotting it, most likely.
---
"But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside."
"I am lightning...the rain transformed."

Altair had 55% at the board vote and ended at 59%. Even assuming he makes as big a swing, he still only ends up with 45% or so here.

---

Only 61.21% for Kirby, by the way. Seems awfully low.
---
"I can set you free, mate."
"My freedom was forfeit long ago!"

(first thing is referring to Liquid's match, obviously)

Actually, I'm gonna START posting about it just ta cheese everyone off!

Going by the "Transitive Law of Assassin's Creed" (AC can only follow up a huge bomb with a huge boost), I'd say Zelda has a lot to fear!!!

Looking at the predictions Altair wasn't a massive favourite, everyone knew it would be close, but they all sided with Altair (see Ocelot/Jill 2007)

I managed to get this one right (if the result holds) in my bracket. I was a little worried after seeing how well Altair did on Liquid Snake last round.

Liquid you making me feel so bad about you, I'd now take the freakin boss over you so forget about being second best to yo' BRRRROOOOOOTHER!
the MGS crew has abandoned you for sure.

Now come on Vivi keep it up and start aiming for the elite tiers!
---
Shakes Fist!

Ezio isn't beating Zelda, but if he gets a good pic he could look a lot better than Altair in the stats when all's said and done.

LFF? Even giving 100% of Bowser's votes to Luigi, assuming Vivi ends at 55%, Vivi is projected to beat Luigi with 51.19%. Although I guess that's possible.

I think we kinda should seen this coming after Ezio didn't do so well against Belmont. Not sure why we thought Altair would boost from losing to the Duke to beating Vivi from a game he's barely even in.

Well.

Obvious First Place Underperformance Factor

A.K.A. The idea that the first place winner is so obvious that most people don't vote for him and vote for someone else instead.

Hypothetical: Altair ends with about 1-2% more than Donkey Kong.

Altair vs. DK, who ya got?

Altair's percentage going up pretty good now. Should end 55/45.

Hey, I was right again. Altair is the same jobber he was last year, and Liquid Snake is all over the map as usual. I'll give you a ^5 on this one voltch!

You can show your face, we won't laugh THAT much. Most people in here misguidedly took Altair. We'll save the laughter for the Zelda match.
