From: charmander6000 | #199 I've been thinking about GoW3 hype recently as well, but man, that R1 match against Tails REALLY slaps that theory around. Also, if we assume a "relatively fair" split for Pikachu/Alucard, like a 55/45, doesn't that mean this Shepard flat-out beats Magus or at least gives him a fight? It's hard for me to believe that Shepard could turn that legit that fast, and I have to put at least a little bit of this on Pikachu being overrated last year, whether by the 4way format or a site-wide desire to kill L-Block. I'm betting Fox would still have an easy time with Pikachu, but the rat is still primed to outperform him in the sprite round. He could get overrated again. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

From: PartOfYourWorld | #198 It was almost exactly what Pikachu was expected to get on Kratos based on the 2008 stats, 0.01% off. From: KamikazePotato | #168 And it's strange that he's looked good because he was arguably the one who looked the worst in that part of the bracket last year. Couldn't beat LFF'd Pikachu, got rocked in that round three match, let LFF'd Captain Falcon get 44.4% on him, just a bad year overall. But there's apparently been some sort of Castlevania resurgence, what with how well Simon Belmont did. I dunno. --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?"

Also,
for the hell we've been giving Kratos, Tails didn't look bad in the
vote-ins and he did get GoW1/2 re-released for the PS3 last year while
GoW3-hype is coming. It probably didn't mean much, but I don't think
Kratos is gonna end up looking as bad and disappointing as we think.
It's not like Duke Nukem didn't surprise us several times in four-ways
or that Charizard's not a legitimate contender to win the division,
either, so Kratos is likely forgivable. We'll see though. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

We've
seen characters with just one game come in big before (from the Noble
Niners like Cloud/Sephiroth/Crono to more relevant examples like Dante)
and characters who have much bigger sequels define them than their
original game (from the Noble Niners like Mega Man to more relevant
examples like Drake). Shepard gaining a lot from ME2, especially
shortly after ME2's release, doesn't have to be impossibly hard to
understand or justify without blaming the opponent. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

BT
is a special case. You have to admire his commitment. While some people
constantly strive to be better, BT constantly strives to be that much
more awful, and so far he's done a commendable job. --- "I learned in England not to deceive the referees" - Cristiano Ronaldo http://i50.tinypic.com/ohsr5j.jpg |

It
takes substantial nerdiness to post in these topics even once with
something relevant, and most of us have been here for years and made
several topics in the series. I'm not going to defend Ulti against
random internet-hate from sugar-free 4chan (especially since he's done
his share of trolling in the past), but let's not be hypocrites here.
In terms of nerdiness, none of us are any better. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

There's nothing wrong with following the contests and posting in these topics. A passionate 10,000 word essay written just for ****s and giggles what could have been writtin in a 10th of the length is. I've always felt Ulti was a little on the Ulilia side of obsession (seriously, Single Character FFT runs?) and it's good to see that people not on Board 8 and without his balls in their mouths agree with me. --- "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" - trancer1 |

423k
posts is pretty crazy, though saying Ulti is responsible for those is
pretty funny. Heck I probably have the most posts if you were to add
those things up (if not at least in the top 5) --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB8%20BOP.xls Character Battle VIII - 89/112 - Today's Winners: Solid Snake and Pikachu |

Also
I put myself on a level above every other B8er because, while I have
some nerdiness in me, I am largely and athlete, have a successful job,
and live with my girlfriend (who I sleep with every night). Sorry mate, I am not as nerdy! --- Curt - PSN - CPhoenixM I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. |

Heck I probably have the most posts if you were to add those things up (if not at least in the top 5) That's an interesting thing to try adding up sometime, although it's ultimately just a dick-measuring contest. I'm like to think I'd be in the top ten...and maybe higher if I posted more. Ulti would definitely far and away have the most topics, too, much more topics than posts compared to others. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

From: HaRRicH | #221 You say that like I'm not getting a gigantic laugh out of all this. That list came from being bored one afternoon, and got far more attention than I could have ever hoped for. Ceej designing a garbage interface for it and the site not fixing it over the past four years isn't my fault. There is always an ironic anti-Ulti or pro-Ulti fad going on somewhere, and it's always funny. If I'm enjoying myself, who cares what people say. This topic says way more about BT than me. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´`·.,¸¸,.·´ If anyone is fit to shine, it is I. |

Ulti
making most of the topics isn't anything special. He makes them
200...300 posts in advance. It's not like he camps out for the topic to
hit 500. --- http://i46.tinypic.com/v4o0mx.jpg best sig bet EVER |

I
find it more disturbing that people actually wonder whether or not he
has a wife, a job, or why he spends so much time on this board. I think
we all just need to be a little more self-conscious and not worry as
much about the other people of this board. Of course, if that ever were to be true I could never troll again. Ah the dilemma we face.

From: EternalxCourage | #225 See this is how you make fun of someone in a hilariously awesome way, which is why I didn't want Curt betting his account on a dumb match. Also, "nerd" is the stupidest insult ever. Most people figure out by 14 or so that it's actually a compliment. Also yeah, I went and looked some stuff up and compared pictures. Your cat definitely has some wild species going on.
