GameFAQs Contests

This Canned Corn im eating sucks ass.

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.

Oh man, I just remembered that Squall has a picture disadvantage.

I suppose that has to do with characters like Cloud and Squall not being known to their fans as sprites first?

And once again, we really need to have the #1 seeds get day matches next contest.
Nah, today was classic board early overreaction. Snake wins this easily in the day too. He may end up well above 55% if he keeps this up. Pika's doing well in America though, so maybe the morning vote brings him back down a little. Still, I think 55% is a minimum here, which means he still easily wins the day. Besides, MM/Mario will be so much more awesome for being at night.

I don't think the pic is that much of a difference maker. I don't see it disproportionately favoring Auron.

Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created.

Two 12-hour normal polls wouldn't be that weird. Plus it'd shake things up a bit. Imagine Samus/Cloud or Snake/Pikachu in the day! As is, all #1 seeds are stuck at night, which is when the weaker ones excluding Sora do best!

If we want real upsets, #1 seeds getting day matches is the way to go.

Not Wylvane

It's not a horrible disadvantage or anything, but I can see it swaying the result in a match where both characters are already close and when most voters probably like both guys.

I think Auron is the favorite all of a sudden.

Fact or Fiction: Auron/Squall finally ends up deposing Frog/Liquid as the closest wire-to-wire match of all time.

No match for KrahenProphet's extreme Guru skills.

No, no, the later generations were better because they actually had a story. Of course, the originals were fun because they were so buggy. So I guess...

DPP >= RB (Y?) > RSE > GSC > FRLG

...Actually, you almost have to separate Platinum from Diamond and Pearl. Yeah, I think this looks better:

Pt > RB > RSE => DP > GSC > FRLG

From what I hear, though, HGSS should rank ahead of GSC, and possibly ahead of RSE/DP.

54.41% hour for Snake there, and he should start doing even better now. I think 56% is still potentially within reach, at least at some point in the match, even if he doesn't finish with it.
---

Snake's risen over 5% since the freeze so far. I feel like 56% is not so out of reach, depending on how the morning vote goes.

I know I'm not stupid anymore when I start saying the same things as Leon.

Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created.

Yeah, that was a compliment. I get the impression you're one of the most respected and liked guys in the stats topic, probably right after Red Sox.
New idea bound to cause much arguing and mayhem: Rank the stats topic guys as you think the board feels about them!

Fact or Fiction: Auron/Squall finally ends up deposing Frog/Liquid as the closest wire-to-wire match of all time.

If it's close after the first three hours -- and there's no reason why it shouldn't be -- it's got a real shot at it. It's an SFF-match in a format with diluted trends, and it's not like they have greatly varying trends anyway. If only it was a weekend-match, too, but even then some places are on spring break this week...!

Eh...actually, now that I'm thinking about it, GSC was, like, one of the better ones to begin with. And I'm probably ranking RB too high because Missingno. mania is sweeping the board. Okay, let's try this again:

Pt > RSE > GSC > DP > RBY

There, that looks pretty good. And no, I don't understand where all the hatred for Generation III is coming from; Generation III kicked ass. The berries that you could plant yourself? A Generation III innovation. Abilities? Also a Generation III innovation. Contests? Generation III, and also, they were actually good, unlike that crap in Generation IV where there are no more combos and the first two segments are this random dress-up **** and this random dancing ****. Villains? Team Magma and Team Aqua were a lot better than Team Rocket ever was, and Team Galactic didn't come to the head of the list until Platinum, when we all realized just what a madman Cyrus really was. Starters? Fairly awesome. Generation I's will always be the best, but Generation III's are probably the second-best trio--although Torterra and Empoleon are both awesome, I give the fourth generation points off for Infernape, dorkier-looking intermediate forms than usual, and the fact that the anime is pushing Piplup as the new Pikachu. Reasons to keep coming back? Uh, Mirage Island, anyone? For that gamer that just has to do everything that can possibly be done, finding Mirage Island is the ultimate test of endurance--and frustration. Sure, Generation III took away the night/day feature, which was really sucky, but overall, it was one of the better entries, in my opinion.

I'm not touching ranking the regs here, but Leonhart and red sox are both rightfully among the very respected.

Pretty much everything is on the line for me in the next match, and I've been anticipating it ever since I saw it on the bracket. If Auron wins, I can potentially win a prize (provided the 'Zard and Seph pull through in their matches...though I may still be able to win one with Bowser).

Nothing like going all-in on one of your favorite characters.

GO AURON!

"The great GF...Bahamut."
"...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..."

Ranking the regs was not at all meant to be taken seriously. I just meant that it would be 1000 times worse than earlier tonight if people tried. I mentioned Red Sox and Leon, and I don't wanna say anything else so no one gets left out or insulted.
Wow. Now if people rank the regulars I'll be blamed for destroying board 8. Oops.

Haha, it's cool, we've recently done other measuring contests like who has the most posts ever and stuff like that. I'm just staying out of publicly ranking people here. I like most people here a lot and ya'll in and out of contest-seasons are the biggest reason I stick around...so I'll try to stay on good terms. =)


Tiger Woods might top the list though.

Actually relating to the contest, Snake looks well on his way to getting a 55% hour and that should go up as we get through the night. Also his NA %age is rising decently quickly. I think 56% is doable?
So what do we think this is non-sprite? Even if we assume this made a 4% difference, then 40% on Snake is approaching a near elite. He's right around Bowser level and only a few point off Squall. Do we think the pic makes more of a difference than that?

I'm so glad I'm off work tomorrow, I can catch all of the good parts of Squall v. Auron

NP: Solid Snake > Pikachu | Squall Leonhart > Auron

Solid, as always, is suffering from Solid **** and it doesn't help that his sprite keeps aging worse than the year before. We've also seen Pikachu kick ass with sprites before (though 2008 shouldn't count, really -- only one of his five pics was a sprite). Combine the two, and holy moly.

Even still, Pikachu's doing better on post-SSBB/MGS4 Solid **** in a night-match than Yoshi did on a pre-SSBB/MGS2 Solid **** in a full match, and Yoshi's sprite is pretty universally known and liked...and is doing so with nearly 4% to spare. Pikachu's looking good.

Snake really rising in NA now. I'd actually be surprised if this ended under 56%.
At least, I would have until 2 seconds ago. What the heck was that Pika spike?

Didn't Snake have a different sprite in that Yoshi match - one that was even worse? Also, how did Snake NOT underperform with that abomination he got against Zelda in 2005??

Snake had Ghost Babel sprite against Yoshi in 2006.

And Snake may have underperformed against Zelda, but at least he still looked like a human being somewhat.

Tiger Woods might top the list though.

Hopefully, he'll be making a grand appearance tomorrow!

Oh, and 55.49% for Snake that last hour. Still picking up steam!

lol snake

but uhh Pikachu IS stronger than Missingno right guys. right? oh man...

Cloud/Ryu is a day match isn't it? That will be interesting to see

Snake had Ghost Babel sprite against Yoshi in 2006.

...Somehow, some way, they just find a way to make Snake look worse and worse in the sprite round every year, don't they...

In 06, they did do a good job of putting a recognizable background picture behind the characters in the sprite round. Snake's was especially smaller, so it showed a lot of the background picture. Although, this one might be showing a lot too.

Contest bracket status: ELIMINATED

Sephiroth is gonna do about as good as Snake is doing here, give or take a few %.

"Nothing is true. Everything is permitted."

This isn't really all that awful for Snake. He should finish around 55-56%, so if you allow 2-3% for the sprite he'd have put in a reasonable performance.

Pikachu vs. Ryu, who's your pick?

Hey, I called it! Pika managed a hilarious scare and fell short.

Alright. Get psyched, Missingno. This is the big one. BELIEVE.

Pokemon Platinum: 1719 9497 5082

Not even 55% for Snake?Is Pokemon really that popular?Now I fear about Sephiroth.Also really low percentage for the previous match but that is logical since most people had Dante advancing.Also the next match will be really close.Hopefully Squall can do it.
---
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~

Yeah, Sephiroth/Missingno does indeed look kinda scary now. Missingno being Joke/Pokemon should absolutely dominate Sephiroth with the board vote and beside that, it is much easier to rally against a hated FF7 character.

Super Pokemon/Joke craze, people craving for huge upset, FF7 anti-votes and the fact that Sephiroth looks kinda of awful with that pic are all indications to look out for. If Sephiroth does fall, i think Snake(my favorite VG character of all time) would succumb to Missingno too.
---
Snake's Mission "To make it to the finals for the fourth consecutive times"

Jokes have been failing left and right, though.

I'm not convinced.
---
It may be insulting, but it's the truth!
Now this is entertainment!

Joke characters have strength the first time they are in the contest.Missingno first match beat a NN,then beat Yoshi worst that it beat Crono so it is legit I think.The only drawback is that it fights Sephiroth an a night match while night is strong for FF 7 and weak for Pokemon.But if Pika can keep Snake under 55% then...
---

Well, i support the idea that Jokes are only strong in their first contest appearance. Missingno looked mighty impressive in all of its rounds so far compared to fallen joke characters like L-block/WCC, btw Missingno isn't just getting joke votes, it is getting the crazy Pokemon / anti-FF7 votes too.


---
Snake's Mission "To make it to the finals for the fourth consecutive times"

Pikachu is stalling with the morning, so I'm not sure if Snake can reach 55% or not. I think probably yes once the before school vote ends. Either way, congratulations to Pikachu for beating Yoshi's mark with ease, and in a night match too.

Missingno's quest to avenge Crono - Round 3: Sephiroth!!!
Link's quest to save us from the oppression of the jokes- Round 4: Luigi

Great performance by the rat today. Too bad this is not a day match. I agree with the sentiment that next contest, 1 seeds should get day matches. If only to see how that shifts the trends.

Not too optimistic about Missingno's chances against Sephiroth. Pika fell pretty good during the night, which also happens to be Sephiroth's best time. The fact that Missingno had day matches and went even with Crono and Yoshi does not draw much confidence in a night match against a stronger character whose best time is the dead hours. The glitch needs a bandwagon, but if there is any character to bandwagon against, Sephy would be the one.

Even though I voted against him the previous two rounds, I will be supporting Missingno from here on out. I hope that the first match I vote for Missingno is not the one he loses in.

Could someone who has them post the trends from Missingno's vote-in poll?
