GameFAQs Contests

[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]

The ideal situation is for Auron to look good on Squall and for Squall to look good (read: beat!) Snake. Then that confirms good characters are all still liked.

What are you trying to get at here? SFF as we use it means someone is disproportionately favored by that fanbase. Everyone shares a fanbase.

Yes, I realize that. The point is that I doubt anyone would have predicted Squall to slaughter Tidus that way before the match. We can't really be certain it won't happen to Auron just because he's Auron instead of Tidus.

Auron leading in Canada. Now it's the land of good taste again (though still not quite as good as other places!)
---

Man people doomsaying Auron because of this are silly.

Granted I always had Squall as the favorite but this isn't really too far off from what consensus should've been vs Zero.
---
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

There's a big strength difference between Squall and Tidus though. Characters who are close in strength usually don't SFF each other.

Too bad the consensus isn't good enough!

Tell that to poor old Samus!

Remember, in one week, all Final Fantasy characters will receive an unpress indented boost as the biggest Square game since FFX is released

That's why I said "usually" instead of "never!"

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

Also missed some great posts. TRE, if you're still doing requests, mind checking both Not_Wylvane and L33t_Rappa_Sam?

SFF isn't just when two characters from the same fanbase battle, it's when two characters from the same fanbase battle and the fanbase uniquely favors a side that you wouldn't see in an indirect comparison. Do you think Square-fans uniquely favored Vincent over Squall in 2005, in a way that an indirect comparison wouldn't suggest back then?

Whoa, Auron failure. Or maybe this is some Zero redemption after the past couple years.

wheresoever you go, go with all your heart

Wylvane is one of my favorite people, so hopefully he stays around for awhile in this topic. Him posting more is always a good thing.

It'd be nice if the Mega Man resurgence was the real deal, and we finally got that Mario/Mega Man match we wanted years ago and it's worthwhile!

year of the capcom boost that's what this is

---
wheresoever you go, go with all your heart

Well, then let's do this!

Zero
Dante

Ryu
Mega Man X

Pick your poison!
---
"But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside."
"I am lightning...the rain transformed."

Dante > Ryu

You heard me right.
---

Ryu > Dante. That's four very close matches, though.

---
wheresoever you go, go with all your heart

Or three!

---
wheresoever you go, go with all your heart

Zero > Ryu
---
No match for KrahenProphet's extreme Guru skills.

Dante > Ryu

DMC5 announced to propel Dante to victory this time! One can hope, anyway.
---

Which picture does Dante get?

Looks like KH2 boost recipients are dropping back to normal levels.. ?

Krahen Prophet did a fatality.

Viewtiful Dante
MMZ Zero

SF1 Ryu
RE2 Leon Kennedy

WHO WINS
---
"But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside."
"I am lightning...the rain transformed."

that is the worst idea since the female villains bracket

---
wheresoever you go, go with all your heart

No one. We all lose.

Thanks, TRE. Don't know if I'm actually surprised I posted that much!

Then again, I have over 12k posts at another forum I've been going to since late 2004, and I have nearly 17k posts on LL, though I've stopped posting there for the past couple years. Wouldn't be surprised if I've made over 20k posts on GameFAQs over the past 9 or so years I've been posting here between the hundred or so accounts I've had. And that's not factoring in other forums I've posted at.

So that's likely at least 50,000 posts I've made on the internet in the past fifteen years or so. Damn.

Not Wylvane

Random cut.

"The problem with the future is that it keeps turning into the present." -Hobbes

Another random cut. I thought Zero was supposed to get killed late night. He's not doing great, but he's keeping it below 55% in the last hour.
And Canada is back to dead even, so now no one thinks they are cool.

Its not the late night. Late night 4-6 AM EST. Thats when Mega Man characters really die.

Albion Hero is the Cream of Loli fanboyism

Before the contest, i was thinking that Squall/Vincent/Auron might have a decent chance at beating MM. But with Megaman characters doing a mighty job at impressing, i don't really think that is possible at this point.
---
Snake's Mission "To make it to the finals for the fourth consecutive times"

I think 4-ways let us really doubt the strength of the Noble Nine. They became the NN in 1v1s for a reason. 4-ways were a pleasant chance at unseating them, but I think now we're really being reminded why they became the NN in the first place. I don't think there is any character (aside from Missingno.) we've ever had in a tournament who could beat any NNer in this format.
And no, Jay Solano would not win again.

L-Block would have.

:>

Also keep in mind a "cut" isn't a percentage loss...
---

There have been many percentage losses. Zero actually won two updates.

Squall to the Division Finals with Snake confirmed

99/116 points - The Great GameFAQs Character Battle VIII
NP: Auron > Zero | Squall Leonhart > Darth Revan

I don't know that pushing on for 56% against Zero is that bad at all. Zero put up over 67% on Fenix, which puts Auron at over 70% on him? Would >70% on Fenix be a bad performance?

---
Currently Playing: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Ocarina of Time, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

This is more of Zero impressing than Auron sucking to be honest. I think Squall is still the clear favorite so far but Auron/Squall does indeed have the potential of becoming the next Vincent/Squall but with Squall emerging victorious this time.
---
Snake's Mission "To make it to the finals for the fourth consecutive times"

If Zero and Squad Megaman has overall increased its power levels, then Auron/Squall should still be on, come on we want something good for round 3 where the points are worth double Ryu/Dante.
---
Shakes Fist!

I didn't expect Pika to have such a high percentage.I guess people love Pokemon!
---
GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~

Auron is doing just fine. Zero is projected to get 44% on Auron based on Marcus Fenix, which follows the general trend of MM characters impressing. This is all Zero here.
---
No match for KrahenProphet's extreme Guru skills.

Lol I've been watching a guy play Gears of War on YouTube. The game definetely deserved better than its thrashing in the contest (in addition to Fenix's thrashing here, though I did vote for Zero), that is for sure.

And in Auron/Squall I am certainly rooting for Auron, because it will be sad when a stupid emo kid defeats the wise old ghost-man. Though I must admit that I voted for Squall in round 1 and I am voting for him again in round 2 (Terra has like NO appeal, that's how bad it gets. I think she loses to Revan on a good number of other websites, simply because Revan's weapon of choice gives him far more appeal than Terra's weapon of choice, and that's what I thought here. I mean, why would you want to vote for some stupid knife-fighter over a guy with a lightsaber? Okay, joke question).

Well, Auron is exceeding his percentage on Fenix and still rising with the morning vote, so I will remain hopeful about Auron > Squall, but I'm certainly not going to be loud about it.

I'm delighted that this match makes Sonic look even worse than I thought, at least.
---
Mustache...and Green...

Now's about the time the morning vote kicks in. Zero can probably get this back under 56% before noon!

"Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and Hellboy" - trancer1

I believe Squall shall win.The bad thing is that I believe we can't be really sure since he is fighting a Square character so there might be a SFF or something like that.Also on a side note,Cloud is 1st,Sephiroth is 2nd and Squall what number is?I mean as a FF character.3rd?Or is Vincent or Tifa stronger?

Pikachu is almost as bad as Master Chief when it comes to bracket support.

Character Battle VIII - 89/112 - Today's Winners: Solid Snake and Pikachu

How well do you think Pikachu does against Master Chief? Then again I wouldn't be surprised if Chief and Shepard are in the same league at this point. Chief has obviously returned to being the low midcarder he used to be rather than the mid midcarder that he was last year, let alone Mr. Super Awesome Game Fuel from '07.

And I ended up opening YouTube Let's Plays of Final Fantasy VII (from Necroscope86), Final Fantasy VIII (from Resobaso) and Super Metroid (from SirRonLionHeart). FF7 is most definetely not overrated.

Vincent beat Squall before, so yeah it's likely Cloud>Seph>Vincent>Squall>Auron>=Tifa
