GameFAQs Contests

Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 850

Karma Hunter | Posted 2/25/2010 5:19:37 PM | message detail
Vincent may have the worst pic of the lot, but his doesn't *matter*. Big Daddy is probably the most screwed relative to his chances, but obviously I'm not complaining there because I'm a hypocrite and have Ness winning.

...also I really don't care about that boring-ass match. There's a reason why Vincent/Ganondorf 2k6 was one of the most anticipated matches of that entire contest despite it being only a R1 match. We like to see our heavy-hitters go at it.

Vincent is annoying to make pictures for. He has one pic from FF7, a bunch of cartoony fan art and Advent Children stuff that's difficult to crop out. I'd rather deal with light sabres than realistic hair.

I think Terra's is by far the worst. Or at least the weirdest. I'm scouring Google and I cannot for the life of me find where that's from.

I am not new,I am here from 2002 and take part in the contests since 2003.but I found very strange that some people vote based on a picture.Also I find it very strange that some people decide if they want to buy a game based on reviews.It doesn't make sense.But hey opinions so...

Probably! But don't you find it interesting that DMC2 Dante would be used AGAIN here oh the tangled webs of conspiracy this contest weaves


Nah, I'm just glad that Ryu isn't heaVILY disadvantaged. Fair pic. Actually, maybe a slight advantage to Dante because he does look more badass. The biggest disappoint is Cloud's pic. That's just a shame.

And actually, I'm feeling pretty good about Daddy's pic (very relieved). I thought he'd look horrible; instead, he just looks genuinely frightening and it sets up a HUGE contrast with Ness, maybe the biggest picture contrast ever.

Cloud loses the board vote even if its a picture of Jesus Christ.

My Cloud picture is a manly picture of him. The sunglasses one should be saved for later rounds.

Oh, and for the reasons why Dante is screwed:

Imagine, if you will, that Mario or Link received a CD-i pic.

I'm honestly surprised Bacon chose purple for my Ezio. Of all the gradients I submitted... Purple? I only made it to have the whole rainbow because I'm OCD like that. Also my Zelda looked better in yellow or red, but I guess light blue isn't the worse he could have picked.

PartOfYourWorld | Posted 2/25/2010 5:42:29 PM | message detail
That picture just has a bad rep because Dante had it when he flubbed against Yoshi. I don't see anything wrong with it; it's Dante, and he looks all brooding and badass. It's not like this site really gives a crap about which game the picture is from; all of Dante's games wouldn't be worth crap on GameFAQs.

That picture has a bad rep because it's of Devil May Cry 2 Dante. DMC2 is one of the most reviled big-name games to come out in years, and Dante utterly sucked in it.

To be honest, that pic might be better for him. As it stood,he was gonna get SFF'd into looking like fodder anyway. At least a few voters can be like, " lol a gun" and vote for him.

It sucks that Terra is going to get SFF blasted by Squall - we don't get any hints on how much Dissidia helped her, or how strong Revan really is.

Yeah, you can't even see him. The concept is pretty good - gun pointed straight at you. But it looks odd. Thankfully that's pretty much the match in which the pic is most irrelevant, Vincent dies brutally no matter what.

Though I do think he's going to resist SFF better than most expect (well at least I did anyway, before seeing the pic).

The average voter on GameFAQs, JRPG and FF7 Central, won't know what Vincent looks like. Good call.

Yeah I think the dante pic is fine, its not like you cant recognize who it is (cover of a game). And I actually really like Vincent's gun in yo face pic.

Big daddy needs all the help he can get imo. I would scour the internet for a "better" pic (one probably doesnt exist though given daddy's proportions) but I'm at work and am absolutely mortified of what "big daddy" would conjure up in google images. The submitted pic kind of looks like the face of a spider.

I guess its kind of cool.

I actually think Big Daddy looks awesome, personally. Though Ness actually has a good picture for once, so he'll probably make a match out of it.
