Zard is not winning with 65% here.... --- Ah, you know it's funny, these people, they go to sleep. They think everything's fine, everything's good... They wake up the next day and they're on fire. |

I think Bowser will win easily no matter what. I felt Zard had to at least match Luigi's percentage on WCC to stand a chance.

Around
midnight? 2003 matches started consistently around 11:45-11:50.
Mario/Crono was 5-10 minutes early of that. Most matches lasted within
5 minutes on either side of 24 hours, while Mario/Crono went 27 minutes
over. Mario did not win a single 24-hour section: it doesn't matter
whether you take off the first 20 minutes or the last- Mario still
loses. --- Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!! Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 4: Luigi |

Charizard
needs to tap his pyro reserves clean just to hit 61%. Regardless,
Bowser is the favorite because you've gotta favor him in an SFF match
like this one, but like I said earlier, no actual results have
indicated that Charizard can't win. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

People
throw out the term 'SFF match' far too much. OoT/RBY was supposed to be
an SFF match. Ganondorf/Mewtwo wasn't an SFF match. Since when has
Pokemon given a crap about fanbase overlaps? If Bowser is stronger, he
wins. If he's not, he loses. --- http://i46.tinypic.com/v4o0mx.jpg best sig bet EVER |

Heh, guess Charizard isn't a FernGully fan. Regardless, while I still say Charizard has a shot, this performance is NOT as impressive as the one Bowser just had. Wasn't a 60/40 right around the Oracle consensus? Even most of the people who had Bowser winning didn't give him almost 55%. --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/5nw45i.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I
guess it comes down to what you think is more impressive: getting 55%
on the guy who got 67% on Laharl or 60% on the one who got 60% on
(not)Issac. --- Currently 38th on the CBVIII Leaderboard ^_^ Dante > Cloud: ITS HAPPENING |

If Isaac = Laharl, Bowser wins with 52.75%. Instinct says Isaac beats Laharl (barely), but if Disgaea boosted or Sora really can't blow people out who knows. --- http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g320/HowDisturbing/stayawhile.jpg Stay a while and breathe me in. |

Also, a fire-themed picture is mandatory given the divisional final here: http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/9692/bowserzard.jpg I like it, but I've got two friendly suggestions: 1) What if you matched their eye-shots with artwork? Charizard's currently got artwork while Bowser's got a 3D-model. I think his Mario Stikers Charged artwork would be cool here if you did try matching artwork for artwork, especially since it only shows Bowser's right eye to only showing Charizard's left eye. http://www.hmtk.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/bowserms.png 2) Bowser's sprite is easy to overlook while Charizard's stands out, at least to me anyway. Is there a way to make them more evenly noticeable? Perhaps you could put the sprites closer to their names, or below/above their eye-shots instead of right/left of them...maybe even above/below "VERSUS" if you shrunk the word a bit (if not just change it to "VS"). I think those could be fun options to try out to make them more clearly visible. Cool picture again though, I've enjoyed seeing you making pictures this year. --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |

From: HaRRicH | #325 I like that first idea. I'll definitely submit a second version with that art in it. Sprites, I just went with each character's first game. So it's Mario 1 and Pokemon R/B. I'll try moving them around to see if I can get a less goofy range, yeah. --- ·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´`·.,¸¸,.· Hey, it's that dog! |
RPGuy96 | Posted 3/8/2010 1:57:39 PM | message detail |
I see Bowser ended up higher than his Power Hour percentage. Nice. Pretty solid performance from Charizard today, but not enough to beat Bowser. Charizard still has a shot because of the HG/SS thing - I guess we'll get to see how much of an effect that sort of thing might have with Jecht in a few days. --- Mustache...and Green... |
HaRRicH | Posted 3/8/2010 1:59:17 PM | message detail |
Ulti's
pic brings up something we should discuss now before the match happens:
does a Giga Bowser-pic hurt him against Charizard? I don't think so for
a variety of reasons, the biggest being that he did fine against
Sephiroth in 2005 before you could play as Giga Bowser in SSBB. His
name's more widely-recognized than Solid Snake or probably even Samus,
too, so I don't think Solid **** or ZSS-like issues of recognition
should arise so easily (and if Ulti's pic is chosen, he'll have an
eye-shot and sprite to help even more). That said, it's a pretty
drastically new rare look for him from only two games...so it's worth
asking. If Charizard wins with under 51%, would you blame Giga Bowser much for the loss? Any? --- T E A M C H O C O L A T E http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7355/64590879.png |
WarThaNemesis2 | Posted 3/8/2010 2:02:21 PM | message detail |
Giga
Bowser isn't a drastic enough change to hurt him. He still looks like a
giant murderous turtle. ZSS looks like a blond in a skintight suit as
opposed to a robot with a cool gun, and Solid **** looks like...well, a
piece of **** as opposed to a soldier. Now if Giga Bowser were Mario with a B on its hat, then it might hurt him. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png |

Well
let's not jump the gun. Bacon hasn't picked it yet, plus he likes to
use multiple submissions for freeform rounds. For all we know, my
picture will be 1 of 10 or something. Used your idea: http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/3451/bowserzard2.jpg Can't move the sprites, because the move tool auto-snaps them into weird places. The only other acceptable place to move them would be above/below the eye shot, but then it makes Giga Bowser look like he has a little devil on his shoulder. Kinda lame. Good idea with the other portrait though, I love it. --- ·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´`·.,¸¸,.· Currently Playing: Umineko, BioShock, Mario 64 DS, Emerald 386, Dissidia |

If Charizard wins with under 51%, would you blame Giga Bowser much for the loss? Any? I wouldn't, and there should be multiple pictures anyway. Samus had a couple ZSS pics last year and didn't appear to suffer from it, probably because they got lost in the suffle. --- Mustache...and Green... |
