It'd be in the afternoon sometime, I'd wager. --- Support Seifer Almasy (Final Fantasy VIII) for Character Battle IX! http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/9342/banner3seifer.jpg |
Nomination topics usually go up sometime between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM EST. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
-LusterSoldier- posted... Doing match pictures for that type of contest seems like it would be hard to do. Doing match pics for the "Best Developer" Contest would be kind of hard, yeah, but you can get creative as each round passes by. You know, joining Fallout and The Elder Scrolls' matchpics with "Bethesda" on the center, or Ryu and Leon Kennedy, one on each side, and have "Capcom" on the center. I just had an idea for a "Best Video Game Weapon" contest, which would cover any type of weapon used to physically assault someone in a video game. This includes guns, swords, spears, or other melee weapons. Doing match pictures for that type of contest wouldn't be hard at all. In the past, all of our contests have involved characters, video games, or an entire video game series. I think the concept is too vague and doesn't seem to have any kind of structure in it. What would you have for a final match like that? Master Sword > Ragnarok > Masamune > AK-47? --- I didn't know Zelda games were supposed to be linked. (No pun intended.) -freshmakerrrr Currently playing: Tetris (NES) |
While
it's almost certainly go to the Master Sword, I'd love to see some of
the weapons nominated. Laptop gun/Farsight (PD), Cerebral Bore (Turok
2), Gravity Gun/crowbar (HL2), plasma grenades (Halo)...and those are
just FPS-games. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate E P O N A. |

Advokaiser posted... -A "Most Atractive Character Battle" sounds like it would be really fun, but since I believe 85% of the contenders would be female characters, people would be drooling everywhere and touching themselves (I'd go with Morrigan > Zero Suit Samus > Yuna on that one). GameFAQs bad taste strikes again. Leon Kennedy and Sarah Kerrigan are sexier than any Nintendo character. I'd probably rank Samus as third there among those who I have exposure to, although I think I'd consider Power Suit Samus to be more attractive than Suitless Samus! They're both real close either way. --- Currently Playing - StarCraft: Brood War |

I
understand this is old news, blah blah blah blah blah, but for just
about no reason whatsoever I felt like posting the Spring 2009 x-stats,
except with all of the entrants shared with the Fall 2010 field in the
order of their own x-stats. I would like you guys to voice your
thoughts on how accurate you think this is (well, it probably would have
loads of minor issues IMO but nothing particularly glaring...) - also I
will post where Fall 2010 entrants were in the Spring 2009 stats. 1) LoZ: OoT 2) FFVII 3) LoZ: MM (34) 4) FFX (11) 5) Pokemon RBY 6) SSBB (3) 7) MGS1 8) LoZ: LttP 9) SM64 10) SMW 11) SSBM (4) 12) CT 13) SMB3 14) LoZ: TP (6) 15) Fallout 3 (30) 16) Pokemon GSC (14) 17) Metroid Prime (51) 18) LoZ: WW (36) 19) RE4 (17) 20) GoldenEye 21) FFVIII 22) SMB1 23) SMRPG 24) LoZ1 25) FFVI 26) MK64 27) HL2 (28) 28) MGS3 (18) 29) SotC (56) 30) MGS2 (39) 31) MGS4 (15) 32) KH2 (19) 33) GoW1 (33) 34) Portal (49) 35) FFT 36) KH1 (16) 37) Oblivion (29) 38) LoZ: LA 39) ToS (32) 40) GTAIII (55) 41) FFIV 42) StarCraft 43) D2 (43) 44) FFIX (27) 45) RE2 46) Okami (57) 47) Paper Mario (77) 48) Halo 1 (46) 49) SMG1 (64) 50) BioShock (54) 51) ME1 (86) 52) KotOR (50) 53) SotN 54) CC (85) 55) GTA: SA (40) 56) FFXII (31) 57) Halo 3 (58) 58) SFIV (90) 59) MMX 60) RE1 61) HL1 62) Sonic 1 63) MM3 64) TF2 (102) 65) Super Metroid 66) SMK 67) SMW2 68) SF64 69) Sonic 2 70) CoD4 (48) 71) GTA: VC (44) 72) SFII 73) WoW (37) 74) Halo 2 (48) 75) LBP (96) 76) Tetris 77) GTAIV (52) 78) Sonic 3 79) DKC1 80) Doom 81) MM2 82) SC1 83) Morrowind (73) 84) FF1 85) Gears of War 1 (75) 86) FE7 (94) 87) Battletoads 88) Earthbound 89) L4D1 (70) 90) Pokemon DPP (71) 91) Pac-Man 92) MK2 93) Xenogears 94) Perfect Dark (95) 95) P4 (90) 96) Phoenix Wright 1 (83) 97) KSS 98) Metroid 1 99) SoM 100) DKC2 101) Oregon Trail 102) Deus Ex (103) 103) Disgaea (75) 104) SH2 (104) --- Currently Playing - StarCraft: Brood War |
ZenOfThunder posted... chris redfield dem beefy arms mmmmmm Deceptively skinny > Beefy Also an awesome voice helps. Leon and Kerrigan have that. Samus only has that in my imagination. --- Currently Playing - StarCraft: Brood War |
What's
up with you, LMS? You find Power Suit Samus to be sexier than Zero Suit
Samus? If you're attracted by robots (or robotic suits, for that
matter) then Master Chief >>>>> Suit Samus. Oh wait, you think KERRIGAN is sexy? So, you think Sindel is sexy too? --- I didn't know Zelda games were supposed to be linked. (No pun intended.) -freshmakerrrr Currently playing: Tetris (NES) |
Oh great, now not only does Link win again, Ganondorf wins, too. Worst contest ever. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
Oh god, new GameFAQs contest announced. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
Is this.. tag team? --- http://i54.tinypic.com/2yziu0o.jpg http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
From: FateStayAlbion | #264 Looks like it. --- http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif |
I came home just in time! Link/Ganondorf has to be the favorite, though this may be better-suited for Cloud/Sephiroth than Cloud alone against Link. Who pairs off with Solid Snake? --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate E P O N A. |
GameFAQS Contests are masters at providing solutions to problems that don't exist. --- "Ahem! There is *sand* on my *boot*!"--Kefka Black Turtle beat me, Yesmar in the Fall 2010 Guru Contest! |
Solid Snake vs. Big Boss or Liquid, either one. --- Support Barret Wallace (Final Fantasy VII) for Character Battle IX! http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/3834/banner1barret.jpg |
Will Magus make Frog choke or will Frog make Magus win a close match? This is important, guys. |
Link vs. Dark Link!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Oh man, Frog vs. Magus, the ultimate team --- http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2369/mythbattlers.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |
Einstein/Hitler Both have fictional video game versions! --- http://i54.tinypic.com/2yziu0o.jpg http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
Any
advantage Cloud/Sephiroth might have in a tag team format might be
lessened by the phrasing of the teams as "rivalries." That probably
helps out characters from older, long running series. Hey on the plus side, we'll probably be getting a 1v1 24 hour matches for this contest! --- "Ahem! There is *sand* on my *boot*!"--Kefka Black Turtle beat me, Yesmar in the Fall 2010 Guru Contest! |
From: LeonhartFour | #271 'sold' Who do we pair up with Crono though? Lavos? --- Also, we're doing Alucard/Dracula, are we not? It's just too fitting. --- Currently playing: League of Legends, Chrono Cross. Current Projects: Fool's Overture, CYOA: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/60143513 |
Who do we pair up with Crono though? Lavos? Dalton or Queen Zeal --- http://i54.tinypic.com/2yziu0o.jpg http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
Oh right, forgot about another one. Captain Falcon: does he come with Blood Falcon or somebody else? --- Currently playing: League of Legends, Chrono Cross. Current Projects: Fool's Overture, CYOA: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/60143513 |

Squall/Seifer represent Remember to nom that! --- Currently playing: League of Legends, Chrono Cross. Current Projects: Fool's Overture, CYOA: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/60143513 |
Wait, so you can have multiple rivalries with the same character? Joke nom process for a joke contest confirmed. Link Vs. Ganondorf Vs. Link Vs. Vaati for the Final 4 or something ridiculous like that. --- "Ahem! There is *sand* on my *boot*!"--Kefka Black Turtle beat me, Yesmar in the Fall 2010 Guru Contest! |
From: LOLContests | #279 The rules say that only one rivalry will get chosen. --- Support Morrigan Aensland (Darkstalkers) for Character Battle IX! http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/9302/banner5morrigan2.jpg |
So which block is L-block's rival? |
L Block vs Z Block --- caps |
I guess this means we can pretty much throw all of our NRT winners out the window. Or do we expand them to a rivalry, like (Seifer/Squall, Morrigan/Demitri?, Otacon/?, Squirtle/?,) Also ,I hate how Bahamut doesn't really have a rival... Would Bahamut/Alexander count? The Bahamut vs Alexander scene in FFIX is pretty awesome. --- Nominate Bahamut for the next Character Battle http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/0/0e/Ffx-bahamut.jpg |
I guess we'll just have to toss the NRT results. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
We can't save it for next time? --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
They'll be two years old by the time we get a new contest. At that point, it'd probably be better just to redo them. --- Support Morrigan Aensland (Darkstalkers) for Character Battle IX! http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/9302/banner5morrigan2.jpg |
I changed pants after a shower. I need to change em again. --- Vote for this guy in every contest: ZFS |
Bacon
is going crazy with adding new rivalries to the database. When I
posted a link to a list of known rivalries that the nomination form
recognizes, I only had about 25 rivalries listed. Now there's a total
of 66 in the database. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
I think Squall/Seifer works. Who is a better rival for Squall? The rest though.. meh. Maybe Squirtle/charmander? --- http://i54.tinypic.com/2yziu0o.jpg http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
why is X vs Sigma in over X vs Zero? |
Naked Snake / The Boss is a good one that probably won't be nominated enough. Snake / Liquid will top Snake / Big Boss. --- peace comes from within |
wow, how is this topic not up to 500 yet. --- Vote for this guy in every contest: ZFS |
The nomination process for this is so weird. Could be a cool contest though! --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
Really stupid contest, should have at least expanded the rivals part (Sonic/Mario would be killer). Time for joke noms! --- Calling Pokemon RBY a top 10 game was the most insane contest jibba-jabba ever Woe unto he who sig bets with the near-invincible Lord High creativename |
Once the bracket comes around, the topic will be moving really fast. Not really sure what to think of it right now --- http://i54.tinypic.com/2yziu0o.jpg http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
FateStayAlbion posted... I think Squall/Seifer works. Who is a better rival for Squall? The rest though.. meh. Maybe Squirtle/charmander? I thought of Charizard/Blastoise, but people seem to be bigger on Red VS Blue. |
Yeah, this is a pretty silly idea. Hard to say much about it until there's a bracket! --- peace comes from within |
I nominated Zard/Blastoise and was a bit sad to see it wasn't recognised yet. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
