Hey, I think that Uminkeo will be uber-fodder, just not as bad as Tanner. Adventure would probably get at least 5% on Pac-Man after all. --- "Ahem! There is *sand* on my *boot*!"--Kefka Dr. Football beat me, Yesmar in the 2010 Guru Contest! |

People forget Tanner was the perfect storm. Uber fodder against the perfect opponent to skull **** him (Solid Snake). In my mind, the best blowout is still Mega Man beating Ms. Pac-Man and Serious Sam the way he did in 2002. --- "I just cannot imagine how my sister would have gotten an STD." -WackJackman |

Yeah,
two 90+% performances in a row still hasn't been touched. How many 90+%
matches have we seen since then, anyway? Three maybe? I'm not gonna
bother thinking of four-ways, but that's some devastation. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate EPONA here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/55150177 |

From: yoshifan823 | #250 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3692 Hey look, a visual novel character broke 5% on Pac-Man and 10 other characters. Umineko would be pretty bad fodder, but I don't think anything it could face this contest will be able to break 90% on it, especially with the increase in anti-voting the last few contests. --- Congrats to Dr_Football - Guru Champion 2010 |
G0EMONIMPACT | Posted 9/5/2010 10:54:20 AM | message detail |
That
reminds me; we NEED to get Tanner in next contest. He's got a new game
coming out, and when he crashes in the game he can teleport his mind
into the essence of another vehicle. So Tanner is now essentially GOD. CB2011 time. --- And I certainly do not agree with my words being taken out of context. - Vlado |

Yeah based on Archer Umineko won't be the worst thing ever. It'll still be down there. --- Calintares made a whole lot of geolocation x-stats Congrats to Dr. Football for winning the Guru. |

From: Xeybozn | #254 A visual novel with an anime/manga presence in America. Umineko has literally nothing based on it released in the US, and nothing that suggests that it has any presence in America at all other than the people who download fansubs of anime/manga/visual novels, which is a small, small subset of the population. Driver would get 65% on Umineko. And I mean the game, Driver. Hell, maybe even 70%. --- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Guru winnah Explicit Content, that's quis. |
charmander6000 | Posted 9/5/2010 11:00:24 AM | message detail |
Umineko will also benifit from anti-votes from its opponent. Characters like Solid Snake and Mega Man had very little anti-voters. --- Calintares made a whole lot of geolocation x-stats Congrats to Dr. Football for winning the Guru. |

From: charmander6000 | #258 What games would it get anti-votes from? The only games that it would get benefits from facing would be an FPS, because any anti-votes that any JRPG would get are for reasons that Umineko suffers from even more (overly Japanese and overly linear). If it was up against Halo or Call of Duty I could see it breaking double digits, but, again, Pac-Man would hang 90% on it. --- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

WarThaNemesis2 | Posted 9/5/2010 11:03:52 AM | message detail |
I
would take Fate/Stay Night to break 85% on Umineko before SFF. With SFF
Fate/Stay Night could seriously break LoZ's % on Adventure. The only thing that gives Umineko a chance at avoiding being worse than Tanner is getting the benefit of opponent's anti-votes. The worst opponent for Umineko for the final X-Stats is probably something like No Mercy of all things, where it would be strong enough to murder Umineko and then get anti-voted to hell the next round. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png Nominate Ogre Battle 64 for the Game of the Decade contest! |

"Archer"
is a very awesome sounding name. "Umineko" will make people go "wtf is
this weaboo trash?" if the opponent is beloved. I doubt we see a 95-5
slaying this contest unless Bacon puts Comet Crashers in against MGS4
as a joke or something. --- "Spoil FFX for me. I'm never going to play that game so I want to know if Jecht's going to be another Auron or another Sin." -Soul on PW vs Jecht |

FFX/Umineko would be hilarious because there is no % that wouldn't have the board saying FFX has no chance against Melee/Brawl. 99%? FFX?

FFX
has "Final Fantasy" in the title, so there will be enough anti-voters
to keep it below records. You'd have to put it against something else. --- ·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.· http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z277/raptorlc/lol.jpg |

I'm
well aware we've seen Melee/FFX, but clearly FFX's inability to pull
100% on Umineko shows that FFX has fallen off a cliff and is vulnerable
to Metroid Prime. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png Nominate Ogre Battle 64 for the Game of the Decade contest! |

I
can't see many people coming up with strong emotions of hate for
something they know nothing about other than it's name. They are voting
for "not Final Fantasy" so it's not like they care very much what the
other game is (unless it's another Final Fantasy game, I guess). --- "Let me believe what you've always believed! That living is wonderful!" "Thank you so much... Thank you for loving me." |
Team Rocket Elite (Moderator) | Posted 9/5/2010 11:17:00 AM | message detail |
And
a lot of Final Fantasy anti-votes comes from "Final Fantasy always
wins". Hate from those people wouldn't necessarily extend to Umineko
even if they did know what it was. --- "Let me believe what you've always believed! That living is wonderful!" "Thank you so much... Thank you for loving me." |
yoshifan823 | Posted 9/5/2010 11:17:57 AM | message detail |
From: Team Rocket Elite | #268 Yeah, but a good portion of the people who hate FF hate it for it's japanese-ness. And I'm sure that Umineko is the most japanese sounding name, especially if they use the full name. --- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Guru winnah Explicit Content, that's quis. |

From: UItimaterializer | #265 I don't understand why people who are so adamantly pro-pic factor don't think that pic was worth 750 swing votes (which is all FFX needed to win). But I really think SSB's stock has fallen in the last year or two. FFX can beat it. --- Support Squirtle (Pokemon R/B/Y) for Character Battle IX! http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/8463/banner2squirtle.jpg |

SSB's
stock has fallen a lot in the past 2 years, but it went up a huge
amount from 2004 to the height of Brawl hype too. Overall, Nintendo is
in a stronger position relative to Square now than in 2004, although
it's a lot closer than in the Nintendo domination years of 2005-2007. --- Crono > Sephiroth. 7 years of waiting, and perhaps many more to go. Remain steadfast. |
LeonhartFour | Posted 9/5/2010 1:19:46 PM | message detail |
I
just wish FFX had gotten a fair shot at Melee or Brawl in the last
Games Contest, but the FFX/KH/Melee match gives me a faint hope that
FFX could come out on top of that one. But I'd be picking FFX to win this thing, no matter what, so I guess logic doesn't really matter to me on this one. --- Please sign up to support the 2010 Nomination Rally Tournament winners! http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/55967577 |

Speaking
of Nintendo's fall the past 2 years, the contrast between the Jan. 2008
Game of the Century poll and the Jan 2010 poll is striking: 2008: Square (FFX): 24.75% Nintendo (MP, WW, TP, SMG): 43.08% Others (GTA:SA, RE4): 32.17% 2010: Square (FFX, CC): 30.25% Nintendo (MP, WW, TP, SMG, Brawl): 35.33% Others: (GTA: SA, RE4, MW2): 34.5% Nintendo goes from 63.51% to 53.87% on Square by adding Brawl and Chrono Cross to the mix, plus 2 years of time. --- Crono > Sephiroth. 7 years of waiting, and perhaps many more to go. Remain steadfast. |
red sox 777 | Posted 9/5/2010 1:27:52 PM | message detail |
And
interestingly enough, the Gamecube games did about the same as they did
in 2008. The losses came basically entirely out of TP and SMG, which
lost so much percentage that even after Brawl was added, TP+SMG+Brawl
still ended up 8% below TP+SMG from the 2008 poll. --- Crono > Sephiroth. 7 years of waiting, and perhaps many more to go. Remain steadfast. |

yeah, so lol Umineko vs Melee, which is probably the top game with the least anti-hate. well that or Umineko vs RE4, like how many people vocally hate on it? --- Nyoro~n |
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 9/5/2010 4:53:01 PM | message detail |
Those
are some really great observations, red sox. It hints to me that Wii is
now less popular than before, and even with games like SMG2 and Other M
out and with Skyward Sword announced, it may be too late to salvage
that system's reputation among gamers. I think most voters see it as an
empty well since early 2008. It's gotten little while the HD consoles
have given people plenty of hardcore games and superior multiplayer (an
area Nintendo had led for over a decade). I was weary of ever taking
Brawl to win the contest before, but I'm even less likely now. I wasn't
paying attention at the time, but it really should have looked more
impressive relative to the other Nintendo games, not just a blip ahead
of second-place TP (which had to deal with another Zelda in the poll). --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/5nw45i.jpg Watch and you'll see... some day I'll be... part of your world! |

then again, is umineko more popular than Fate/Stay Night? I don't think it's even close to Fate/Stay Night in terms of popularity. The vast majority of the voters aren't going to know either so they'll both be working off their name and their match pic. If Umineko is lucky, it'll get one of the portrait pictures for a match pic. If not, it'll get Ryuukishi artwork. <_< --- "Let me believe what you've always believed! That living is wonderful!" "Thank you so much... Thank you for loving me." |

if
vote-ins happen again, umineko will probably be in that and get
crushed, so i really don't see it making it in to the field of 128 --- It all makes sense, we're capable of beauty. RUSTY ~ your messiah |

it gets crushed in vote ins, then lulz once we start extrpolating
