GameFAQs Contests

Not all fictional characters, but all video game characters regardless of first appearance would be best. Most popular fictional characters have probably been in video games anyway, but that would give it some legitimacy since we're on a video game website.

What are some good video games Adult Jesus has been in?

I'd totally be down for broad spectrum character contest once this new format gets stale in a couple years. But this format is REALLY good, so I'd love to stick with it.

Speaking of which, we should get Eric Cartman in one of these things!

And I think a 64-character 24-hour Fictional Contest would work as a side contest, assuming we don't have contest regulars like Link and the ilk! That or a Female Villains Contest!

it shouldn't be a side thing...it should be merged with the standard contest. Darth Vader vs. Sephiroth and stuff like that

Eh, I think it'd work fine as a stand-alone contest, with a bonus match where the winner faces Link if you're really into comparing x-stats between two radically different groups of people.

I think it'd be more interesting to find people and fictional characters who haven't been in games!

Female Villains Contest

Hey, let's combine two of the worst contest ideas ever! Smart! *obvious sarcasm*

I've been all for this contest since 2006!

Anyway, one last Fact/Fiction for the night.

Fact/Fiction: We will see at least one more big upset before the end of the contest (Squall > Snake, Samus > Cloud, Snake > Seph, Mario > Link, Seph > Cloud, Cloud > Link, etc.).
---
Not Wylvane

Fact: Sonic > Charizard.

More seriously, I feel like either Samus > Cloud or -- more likely -- Solid > Seph will happen. I don't really believe in the chances of any other upset and I don't think both of them would happen (though imagine the hell FF7 would catch if they both did), but I'm feeling better about those upsets lately.
---
Picking Auron > Squall was dumb, but not as dumb as thinking I could beat Leonhart!

I actually really like the tag-team idea...in theory. But I don't think it would work out too well in practice. If you teamed people up by nominations, the winners would be Link and, like, Wander or two random upper midcarders. Do either of those options feel right to you? Themed tag teams sound more appealing to me, but that would waste tons of characters and be even worse than 4-ways in terms of getting accurate reads.

Besides, I'm still not tired of this format yet!

Also, though I would participate in a tag-team contest, I would do so begrudgingly. It's got little value, though it could provide some random fun in a similar way four-ways do.

I just realized that I picked Samus over Cloud and Snake over Sephiroth because I really think (hoped?) that FFVII had fallen this year. And then I went and screwed up and picked Snake over Samus in the semis. I have no idea why I did that.

Isn't Samus vs Cloud a night match? That's pretty good for Cloud, and pretty bad for Samus...

creative has explained statistically many times why FF7's day vote is massively better than its night vote.

All you love is a lie.

How's Snake night vs. day? Does the day match help him or Sephiroth?

Metal Gear Solid in general sucks during the day compared to the night.

'woops' got the order wrong

That's not it. FF7's night vote is better than its day vote, but the early vote counteracts this to the point where both 12 hour periods are about even.

What, FF7's day vote better significantly better than its night vote? I'd like to hear that explanation >_>

Assuming FF7 gets anti-voted as usual(anti-voting happens because it's the start of the poll, maybe the impact would be lessened on a day match but it's still going to be there) i don't see why that would be true. They make a killing in the dead zone
---
A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice.

And yeah, we haven't seen Cloud or Sephiroth in a day match yet, so the early anti-voting could actually reveal that the day vote is noticeably worse for them (Tifa has different trends so she can't really be used).
---

Yeah, Cloud/Ryu should be the best barometer of how much better (or worse) a day match will be for FF7 characters.

Oh wait Vincent had a day match. The anti-voting was quite diluted there, especially considering I would think of Guybrush as a good board vote guy (not positive on that though). But it was on a weekend.
---

I know creative has explained his theory, but I'm still skeptical. Cloud's Power Hour is absolutely his worst time, but the Euro/dead vote is his best. In the games contest, we saw FFVII, for the first time ever, dip during the day. Now, if Cloud's first hour tomorrow is much better than his Power Hour, then he really might be better in the day, but I think we may be forgetting that voters aren't mutually exclusive to a 12-hour time period here. I'm guessing many of the people who love to anti-vote Clodface during the Power Hour will be around tomorrow.

As for Snake being the 2nd most nominated character, I think Menji was the one who stated it in that same topic which revealed that Link was the most nominated character through feedback ticket. Of course, Menji was later exposed as lying so i don't know whether you can trust it.

Looking forward to Cloud/Ryu and Snake/Squall. Get to see FF7's day vote in action and where Snake's strength exactly lies.

I thought 'Zard would be between Mewtwo and Pikachu.

Now watch him not make it into next year's contest somehow.

If he doesn't make it, we'll have a new term to throw around: "Tifa Syndrome".

Isn't it sad, Sacchin?

CB8 score: 183
Incorrect picks: More than my signature will allow.

Also: Charizard over Bowser (3.17%) was the worst prediction percentage ever in the 1v1 format. Only the final three rounds of L-Block's run had a lower percentage. If Charizard somehow takes down Mario, L-Block's record might just fall.

3,17% for Charizard?Are you kidding me?We just witness a record!And you know what is funny?Let us say Charizard wins the contest less people chose him over Missingno!Now that is something!

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~

Another thing is that Samus' last two opponents had pulled off an impressive performance of their own in a prior round, and yet she doubled them, and in a night match no less.

Zelda has looked stronger than Ryu the last few years (screw 2007), but then if that's still true now then Travis Touchdown > Balthier, which I have a hard time believing in...then again given that Zelda didn't get her ASV against Mr. Touchdown while new Square is apparently going down. And if you assume Samus = Zelda then the queen only gets 54% on CAPTAIN FALCON, which would be way too low in just about any other contest. This could definetely be SFF, given that both of these characters draw a lot of strength from SSB and that Samus has SFFd Ganondorf three times before.

If you assume this is not an SFF match, then Samus actually goes into the next round with the upper hand, quite easily.

Finally, Snake > Sephiroth has a really good chance at happening based on Snake/Fox and Sephy/Marth, considering Fox is supposed to be much stronger.

lol at the idea of Samus > Cloud. It's ****ing Cloud. He will only lose to Link. The reason he hasn't looked as good is because it's harder to make up for anti-voting in a 12 hour poll. You really think ridley is worth 30 on Cloud? lol Samus doesn't break 45.

Curt
Hey soul sister, hey that mister mister on the radio, stereo, the way you move ain't fair ya know.

You know, there's a part of me that hopes Samus doesn't win because a Link/Samus final is very unappealing, but if Samus beats Cloud, we'll either get Sephiroth/Samus or Snake/Samus, which would be good, I guess.
---
Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created.

If Samus beats Cloud, her semifinals match is almost sure to be completely uninteresting. Sephiroth isn't taking her down unless the 12 hour thing REALLY kills FF7 - and even then, Cloud's still a different ballgame. I suppose if Samus beat Cloud by the skin of her teeth and Snake beat down Sephiroth we could have something, but even then I'd probably give her a free pass. It's freaking Cloud, man.

Before SFF Cloud/Sephiroth probably doesn't go above 55%, but you're probably right.

Character Battle VIII - 181/224 - Today's Winners: Samus and Cloud

Heck, I'd probably peg Link/Samus to be the more interesting match than a Samus/Seph or Samus/Snake showdown. Samus beating Cloud could muster one heck of a bandwagon, and she appears to be the least antivoted character in the contest at this point (ew). She wouldn't win, but I wouldn't mind seeing her make Link sweat it out for a few hours before finishing respectably.

(KH Note: Cloud > Samus and Snake > Seph are both still locks tbqh)

Character Battle VIII - 181/224 - Today's Winners: Samus and Cloud

Cloud and Sephiroth's day half was slightly better than its night half in 2008, not massively. This could become flipped if:

1. You think FFVII's day vote failures reflect a change in the characters' trends also.
2. The anti-voters will vote no matter whether it is a day match or night match.

But either way you shouldn't expect a big difference between day and night for FFVII characters.

As for Samus/Cloud, this isn't really Megaman > Mario logic. It's more like the annual Cloud > Link logic......so hope on, if you prefer Samus, but it isn't happening.

Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created.

I don't think or want it to happen. I'm just throwing it out as a possibility

Snake > Sephy is actually a larger possibility given Snake doing only 4% worse on Fox than Sephy did against Marth, and I am actually rooting for that upset, though I wouldn't mind any result there.

Can someone please explain why people keep using Cloud/Seph fodder matches to try and prove Snake>Seph or Samus>Cloud?
---
derp

CATS predicted Link > Cloud 2k4. Fodder matches can be quite telling.

However, in this format, so far removed from our last 1v1 contest, with so many question marks surrounding said matches... yeah, I wouldn't use Jill/Sub/Fox/Marth to determine much of anything. This Zelda match is important, though - Zelda's not fodder, and so will Ryu and Squall in their upcoming bouts.

Match CXVIII: (1) Cloud Strife vs. (7) Ryu

Last Round

Cloud Strife – 69.93%
Captain Falcon – 30.07%

Leon Kennedy – 43.12%
Ryu – 56.88%

Analysis

It has been hard to predict Cloud’s matches. I feel that he should be performing better, but his early vote has really hurt him in this contest and with each match only lasting for 12 hours he doesn’t have as much time to recover from that start. It’s nice to see Ryu in the fourth round of a contest again, but it’s pretty safe to say that he won’t be making it out of this match alive.

Ryu is quite easily the strongest opponent for Cloud so far this contest. The last time the two went against each other was four-ways where Ryu only managed 28% on Cloud, however after seeing Captain Falcon put up 30% on him I expect the street fighter to have a better performance. As impressive as Captain Falcon was this contest I still think Ryu is a great deal stronger than he is.

Ryu should easily avoid the doubling against Cloud and has a great chance at pushing for 35%. This is the first time Cloud has gotten a day match in this contest so it will be interesting to see how he will perform. Will his usual bad start happen here or will it be diluted throughout the day? I also love to watch Ryu’s California vote; maybe he’ll be the first character to make sizable gains on Cloud after the first two hours.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Cloud Strife > Ryu

charmander6000’s Prediction: Cloud wins, 64.76% - 35.24%

Character Battle VIII - 181/224 - Today's Winners: Samus and Cloud

It's undeniable that Samus has looked much better than Cloud so far. I still consider it an upset, but looking at stats Samus has looked Cloud level at times while Cloud has been underperforming, making Samus>Cloud logical assuming the stats are accurate.

Assuming they are.

Samus hasn't looked Cloud level as so much as Cloud has looked Samus level.
