GameFAQs Contests

Actually, aside from Yoshi, Missigno doesn't look too inconsistant in the end. Given Sephiroth's decline, I'd say he's at least linear enough to not look too bad. Plus Magus and Frog looked much better after the second round happened.

Dude, nobody's talking about nominating Eiko here.

I like to ignore that game! Otherwise Zell would be the 15th most obnoxious FF character.

pfff, disliking FFIX means Black Turtle, simply does not exist in this topic.

Dr_Football wrecked my bracket with his awesome goals.

Yeah, Missingno didn't look so nonlinear in the end. And to clarify, I fully support people making adjusted stats, I just don't think there should be an "official" adjusted stats list.
---
Dr. Football was not stopped by any of us, and won the Guru Contest.

Oh man, the battle between "Great, best one yet, don't change a thing" and "Not so good, I liked the four-way battles better" is exciting! Only 9 votes between them!

Now that I think about it, Sephiroths weakening would have been obvious except for the fact that he's had SFF as an excuse for so long. The last truly legit match from him before this year is the tournament of champions in 2005.
---
Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die.

I'm sure we can get one going which is a "stats topic consensus" list. If I knew/cared enough or had enough time to do the math, I would make a project out of it.

Hmmm...I'm still not sure what number to give Pikachu for Snake. I hate using arbitrary assignments with no basis in previous matches.

Arbitrary assignments such as setting Solid **** to be 40% on regular Snake, then adjusting Pikachu's number based on a Snake readjusted for the picture?

Popular at school, but not as cool as Dr_Football, Guru Champ!

Well Yoshi went from 50% against Squall in 2006 to 42% in 2008.

2004 Frog gets 61% on 2005 Frog, but that has Chrono Trigger sprite factor

2005 Bowser gets 55.5% on 2006 Bowser.

The "four-way battles" option had a maximum lead of 172 votes over "Best one yet" at 6:30 PM. Now the "four-way battles" option is in good position to finally fall back down to last place.

Dr_Football wrecked my bracket with his awesome goals.

Here is some random contest trivia. Can you name:

-the only 2 non-NNers who have broken 40% on Mario in a 1vs1 setting?

-the only non-Nintendo/Capcom character that Leon Kennedy has lost to?

-the character who almost upset the eventual champion but didn't get in the year afterwards?

-a character who once finished above Snake in the x-stats, but ended below Gordon Freeman in this year's x-stats?

-the only character who has never gotten to the third round despite being in every contest thus far?

-the only non-Clinkeroth character who has never been held under 40% in a 1vs1 setting?

Bonus question:

Which two characters do you think have had the largest increase in strength from their debut to today?

Wait, Hope got second in a "Favorite FF13 character" poll? My faith in Japan has been renewed.

Wyoming x-stats are priceless. I mean, Jak is in the Top 10. Simply incredible.

I'm curious what teams we'd get if we used the x-stats to make them, like 1/128, 2/127, etc. and make a bracket based on them. Hey, if someone gets bored, there's a time killer for them!

As for what to do now? There's always my mock bracket collaboration idea! Make the best damn bracket possible and all that!

The first challenge is actually picking 128 characters for the thing!

Ooh, fun!

Lessee...

-Shadow and... uh... I can only think of Shadow.
-No idea
-Tifa
-I'm betting it's Master Chief.
-Tee-dus
-It was Ryu until this contest. Kirby's come close. There's Missingno and Charizard but they've only had one contest.
Bonus: Pikachu is one. I would say the other one is either Luigi or Kirby.

It took a while for FFXIII to finally get ahead of "I haven't played a single one of those games", so that's probably the case.

And FFXIII should kill this poll once we get past the early vote. It'll dominate overnight for sure.

I won't lie, I haven't played a single one of these games. The only 2010 game I have played is Glory of Heracles... which is a lot of fun, by the way.

What's the consensus on HeartGold/SoulSilver? I love Pokemon Gold, but the remake doesn't interest me too much... especially since FireRed/LeafGreen was kind of lousy in my opinion.

Final Fantasy XV: The Legend of Zelda

In this new RPG brought to you by Square and Nintendo, you take the role of a bright-eyed and heroic boy, Cloud Strife, with a traumatic past he cannot remember, as he travels across 5 continents and through more than 50 cities and towns, and discovers the truth about the great hero of time Link and the Legend of Zelda.

"I couldn't stand a Dr_Football without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now."

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

For the "only non-Clinkeroth NNer who has never been held under 40% in a 1vs1 setting" I was actually thinking of Kirby, though yeah looking back Snake fits the mold as well. Kirby is also 0.1% away from being the only non-Clinkeroth NNer who has never been held under 45%, if I remember correctly.

And for the bonus question, I was thinking of Pikachu and Gordon Freeman.

Gordon Freeman has had the second highest rise, he was uber-fodder in 2002 and is a decent mid-carder now. Pikachu rocks him though, especially thanks to sprite Snake.

Kirby isn't a Noble Niner.

"So cold. I am always by your side."
"There ain't no gettin' off of this Dr_Football we on!"

I'm not entirely happy with them, but I don't know if I'll really mess with them further.

Dr_Football wrecked my bracket with his awesome goals.

@LeonHartFour: Well, the "NNer" part, was a mistake. I was absent-minded when typing that, obviously.

I think Knuckles should have been moved higher. Do you have any way to compare him. I think we all agreed he was at the very least SFFed a little by Sonic.

Also, is there a mistake with the Tails adjustment? Shouldn't he have been moved higher than that with the Mario adjustment?
