you mean "Ellis" is a man?

that's a trap name right there.

Though I wouldn't be adverse to bringing in other summoners. Rydia easily deserves another shot in the contest!

I never saw the appeal of the gimmicky four-way format, tbh. Partially because the winner is decided by who else is in the match with them, meaning that LFF plays a huge role, potentially allowing a clearly weaker contestant to advance ahead of two stronger ones (I'm looking at YOU, Mewtwo!).

thats the point

its more unpredictable instead of just going by character strength, you need to consider additional factors

Wow, of all the possible examples, you chose Mewtwo?

Mewtwo isn't even the biggest Pokemon guilty of doing this!

Eh, that was the one who stood out most to me; Squall and Sora would probably cream him. And in all fairness to Pika and 2007 (if that's what you're hinting at), we hadn't seen Pika in a contest then - not since 2003, anyway.

Joke characters and 4-ways getting owned. The site has spoken. It prefers Link and Cloud.

While "could use fewer joke characters" is doing well in second place, "needs more joke characters" is right behind it in third place. Hard to say whether the site dislikes joke characters when both joke character options are pretty close to each other and when "Terrible" is winning the poll.

I'd imagine the site is evenly split on the issue. Of course, joke characters overperform because of outside users voting from rallies and what-not.

I ended up making some super-tweaked adjusted standings. These standings are *highly* adjusted according to my own beliefs, although I believe most of the adjustments are conservative. I also made a bunch of day/night adjustments, but only very obvious ones. For entertainment purposes only! Do not use dumbly :p

List of adjustments (the number is what I set their % to in the match they lost):
-Mario - 43.00% (SFF)
-Sephiroth - 48.00% (24 hour adjustment)
-Samus Aran - 46.25% (24 hour adjustment)
-Charizard - 43.00% (Charizard in-contest boost)
-Sonic the Hedgehog - 34.00% (SFF)
-Mega Man - 44.00% (SFF)
-Luigi - 32.00% (SFF)
-Missingno - 46.00% (24 hour adjustment)
-Pikachu - 40.83% (Solid **** - equal to Squall)
-Leon Kennedy - 44.50% (Leon sprite)
-Captain Falcon - 28.75% (24 hour adjustment)
-Sora - 47.75% (24 hour adjustment)
-Ganondorf - 45.00% (Bacondorf)
-Vincent Valentine - 43.84% (SFF - equal to Tifa)
-Kefka - 39.25% (24 hour adjustment)
-Laharl - 30.00% (24 hour adjustment)
-Knuckles the Echidna - 37.00% (SFF)

Looking at Geolocation quickly, it seems South America enjoys Character Battles more than any other continent, and UK really hates them, probably because Link always wins. The 4-ways option is doing much worse in the U.S. relative to the rest of the world. Only Brazil, Germany, and the Netherlands like 4-ways less than the U.S. does right now.

-Mega Man X - 34.00% (SFF)

My Sonic and MMX adjustments are even more arbitrary than I'd like. Since these are my own personal stats and I'll do whatever I want, I am open to ideas :)

Crono didn't get his night vote, so he may have won a 24-hour match. I was arguing that if Missingno's trends were even then he would've at least done better against Sephiroth.

Would we pick Gordon Freeman to beat Master Chief now? It seems very dicey, and I'd still pick Chief to win (remember pick Chief to win debatable matches against opponents whose ASVs are horrible).

Also in the earlier bracket...if Rikku beat Freeman it would be with like 53% at most. I'd pick such in a bracket, but it's 43% on Kirby when you have the advantage vs. 38% on Tifa when neither character really has a clear advantage. Wait, how did Freeman do with the ASV this year?

Man you really overuse that word horribly :) That's the second or third time I've seen you use that word today. Or maybe I'm confusing you with someone else?

Crono winning a 24 hour match is likely - Crono as we know is more of a first half character. Definite, no, but likely.

Saying someone is "delusional" for thinking this, is a statement horribly lacking in credibility.

In any case the adjustment is totally minor and changes nothing of significance.

X-Stats should also be removing the effect of rallying. Without it, I'd say Crono had a very good shot at beating Missingno. in a 24 hour match.

Eh I didn't know Freeman was mid-tier with the ASV now, I thought he was a total sucker or something. Granted, he only lost 2% in the ASV against Sora in '06 from what I read on the Wiki, so I guess that shows that his ASV is not toal suckage. Then again it makes sense for an FPS deriving a good portion of popularity from Xbox/360 releases to have a decent ASV.

So would HL2 win the ASV against a Blizzard game?

Yeah, I really wish MN had beaten Sephiroth and made the final. He could have been internet god-rallied past Link there.

Crono tied Missingno in the half of the day he's weaker on

logic would suggest the other half of the day would go to Crono.

anyways, Missingno won't be strong anymore after this year, Jokes are only funny one time to people here, as L block showed. he will keep himself at midcarder to uppercarder level but that's about it.
LinkMarioSamus | Posted 3/22/2010 2:05:06 AM | message detail
Which would mean that this format is essentially bogus and that Missingno/Crono was not fair, therefore the Noble Nine is not broken yet. Clinkeroth is broken however, as struggling to stay above 47% against somebody who could only manage 55% on PIKACHU just two rounds prior isn't exactly good.
SonicRaptor | Posted 3/22/2010 3:43:43 AM | message detail

No doubt.

Strong joke characters take a big drop after their glory year as we've seen in the past from the Block and the Cube.

If Crono and Missingno meet again in 2011, Crono wins easy. Even then, their match this year was actually really close near the end.

Aw yeah Phoenix hangin' with the contest elite

This has certainly been an interesting few months. I really enjoyed it, for the most part. Great format, some fun matches, and of course HOCKEY FACTOR, THE ZARD, and Missingno! I've never been so involved in the contest before, even though I've been following these things since the second one in 2003. I'll be hanging around to see a few ranking and rating topics finish. Gotta see SSBM_Guy rank the AA characters, Yesmar rank the contest matches, and Ulti give his Analysis.

Thanks for the memories, everyone. This was fun! Hopefully we can get Bacon do try something new/interesting later this year.

the Asia stats are unbelievably lopsided.

the top three are the only ones projected to even manage to avoid a doubling at the hands of Cloud, and we think Link is dominant when he always has at least two characters projected to get 45% on him.

Also, the order of Samus and Sephiroth on the Europe stats should be reversed

So if all the regions were weighted equally what significant changes would there have been in the bracket?
