GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1012
Ya
know, the more I look at it, the more I'm not sure if the Trainers got a
great picture. There's so much white space and your eyes (well, my eyes
anyway) are automatically drawn to the bottom option. It looks like a
half finished picture with all that empty space. Insult away. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

It's
more relevant than "breen sucks whatever!" GameFAQs doesn't care for
Half-Life the same way as GameSpot, true, but we don't have any better
info on Dr. Breen individually either. I'll laugh the day another Top 100 List is announced...! foxhead84 posted... Is he like Andrew Ryan's Bioshock? I've played very little of Bioshock, but their speeches have similarities from what I've read/heard from Andrew Ryan. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate E P O N A. |
The
next two fights are going to be interesting. Red based on 2010 stats is
going to be the weakest one seed so far, but he's paired with Blue and
up against what the vote-ins imply is only slightly better than what one
seeds have already 80-20'd. The rivalry factor seems pretty strong for
Red though. Luigi's match reminds me of Sonic's. Sonic was by far the best thing in his match; Luigi is pretty much in the same position, if not quite that far ahead. Waluigi may actually be equal to or worse than Cecil and Golbez, whereas Robotnik was likely a bit stronger than either Katherine. --- "Getting lucky 100% of the time... it's called PRO SKILL." -BlAcK TuRtLe |
If you've played and love Pokemon, then it's a great picture. If you aren't that kind of person, then it's "okay." --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |
Calintares posted... Huh, I was sure that niche was taken by LMS? I can't believe my name's been mentioned when discussing the niche LMS has locked up. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate E P O N A. |
LMS was too young to use the boards when the original list came out. --- http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/8516/whatisdesiresig.gif |
Andrew Ryan >> Dr. Breen Ryan is the titan who powers Bioshock's plot. He's built up throughout the game, and the powerful climax features him front and center. Ryan would destroy - easily destroy - Breen in a poll. I've beaten both games (within the past two years), and there's little comparison to be made there. --- Yoblazer: http://8board.webs.com/ariel.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Some thoughts from me on the bracket, now that we know how significant rivalry factor is: -I really can't see Phoenix/Edgeworth losing to the HL2 duo. Honestly, I don't even think it'll be a close match. -WaLuigi is screwed next round. However, I don't think anyone should be worrying about Cecil/Golbez winning - rivalry factor isn't that huge! -**** yeah, so glad I took Fox and Wolf over Yuna/"lol." -I'm feeling great about my Southwest Division. I'm glad I bought into the Aludrac hype, and Frog/Magus is almost certainly winning the division, since they should benefit more than just about anyone from rivalry factor. -And finally... man, I really hope this helps Crash/Cortex! --- "Claire likes to say 'You can be part of the problem, or part of the solution.' But I happen to believe you can be both." - Phil Dunphy |
From: PartOfYourWorld | #207 I highly doubt this. Win, most likely, but I'd put it at a 55-45 kind of situation. --- Will not remove this line of my signature until the Seahawks, Jazz or Rockies win a title (Started 5-16-09) http://www.sporcle.com/games/Kazbar/gfaqscontest |
I don't think Ryan would destroy Breen, but I don't think it'd be 55-45 either. I'm thinking 60-40. --- "Claire likes to say 'You can be part of the problem, or part of the solution.' But I happen to believe you can be both." - Phil Dunphy |
Match IX: (1) Pokemon Trainer Red/Pokemon Trainer Blue vs. (8) Jim Raynor/Sarah Kerrigan Previous Contest Pokemon Trainer Red – 2010 50.16% against Revolver Ocelot 38.84% against Mega Man X Pokemon Trainer Blue – N/A N/A Jim Raynor – N/A N/A Sarah Kerrigan – 2007 11.06% against Samus Aran, Frog and Axel Analysis Red/Blue is by far the most hyped pair of the contest with predictions of where will they go ranging from second round all the way to the semi-finals. Pokemon seems to get a lot of the talking ever since the second games, but that’s what happens when you have a group that underestimates them a lot and another group that overestimates them. With the release of Starcraft II last year I’m expecting Kerrigan to get a decent boost for this contest. Of course by boost I mean instead of bad fodder she’s just regular fodder meaning that the pair still stands no chance against the trainers. There is the possibility that Husky could link his followers, but I find it unlikely. Husky would have to have been given word about the match prior to this match starting, which given his younger audience may not even know GameFAQs let alone care enough about the contests then he would have to decide whether it is worth it, though I’m leaning towards that he would if enough people tell him. I doubt he’ll do anything after the match starts because he’s usually busy playing or casting Starcraft II at night and sleeping in during the morning. The main debate for Red and Blue is how much rivalry factor they will receive. Without any I doubt they would survive the second round give Red’s performance last contest and that Blue is most likely even weaker. Of course even though this contest is quite young rivalry factor has made its presence known and while some people doubt its existence the question they should really be asking is how much. This match will be a good set up to see how strong their rivalry power-up is. Raynor and Kerrigan are no weaklings in the decent rivalry department so if the trainers want to impress they not only need the rivalry boost, they need one that trumps Raynor and Kerrigan. I feel that the pair will reach the high 60s, but breaking 70% is certainly possible. charmander6000’s Bracket: Pokemon Trainer Red/Pokemon Trainer Blue > Jim Raynor/Sarah Kerrigan charmander6000’s Prediction: Pokemon Trainer Red/Pokemon Trainer Blue wins, 67.83% - 32.17% --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Rivalry Rumble: 6/6 Today: Donkey Kong/King K. Rool & Sub-Zero/Scorpion |
Looks like this will be our first day match (and the first one this contest) to break 40000 votes. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
Hmmm...I
wonder how high Sub-Zero/Scorpion's prediction percentage is here. The
lowest we've had so far was 63% for Ike/Black Knight. Everything else
has been 69%+. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
From: TheCodeisBosco | #208 I'm gonna play Crash Twinsanity on that day in tribute of their upcoming victory --- http://www.yourgamercards.net/trophy/a/NathanDrake90.png |
I'm
not sure if Crash/Cortex could win. Crash is high fodder and Cortex
will be turbofodder, so it's hard to see them winning. Also, the series
has a whole should have a much lower playrate than Pac-Man. Pac-Man
has a 96.85% playrate based on this poll: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3918 It certainly helps out Pac-Man that he has a high playrate, but he also has to hope that the voters consider Pac-Man/Blinky to be a good rivalry. --- Luster Soldier - Popular at school. ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ |
Blinky would be turbo fodder as well. He'd just be more known turbo fodder. --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!" |
he also has to hope that the voters consider Pac-Man/Blinky to be a good rivalry. Of course not, it's Blinky, that'll really hurt him. Inky maybe. --- This space intentionally left blank 45541548 |
Blinky and Inky would always double team me. Curse you Pac-Man mechanics. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Rivalry Rumble: 6/6 Today: Donkey Kong/King K. Rool & Sub-Zero/Scorpion |
In
Crash's entire contest career, he's only won a single contest match and
that was in the lol 2002 contest. In the 4-ways, he got third place in
one match and fourth place in another match. Hopefully this contest will continue the trend of Crash only having one contest win in his entire career. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
Luster, you make the best posts. --- Yoblazer: http://oi53.tinypic.com/2hd0dh1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
I feel like if it was Pac-Man vs. Ghosts, he'd beat Crash easily. I don't know if anyone cares about any of the individual ghosts, but maybe that's just me. --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!" |
I
don't think they have to care. Just the novelty of one of the ghosts on
the front page is more than enough to beat Crash, I think. That match
could even turn ugly. Pac-Man really drew a perfect opponent. --- Yoblazer: http://oi52.tinypic.com/ad21i1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Novelty? Not sure I really see it that way. --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif |
Will
the voters actually care that it's just one ghost and not all of them?
Pac-man and Blinky still try to actively kill each other and have been
at it for decades. --- Pokemon VGC2011 NW Regional - Top 8 Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place |
Eager to see the thrashing Ryu/Ken will lay down on the poor saps they're facing. Samus is officially On. Notice. Also interested in seeing Frog/Magus. Raiden/Vamp can't keep that one respectable right...? If they do then something is seriously wrong. Also this makes me continue to think Mario/Bowser have a shot at taking this thing. Not a great shot, but it's possible via bandwagoning. Poor Kerrigan, she's about to get another beatdown. She'd get beatdown anyway but this match pic isn't even fair. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
From: creativename | #225 Samus gotta get through The Bosses before worrying about Ryu/Ken...! Frog/Magus should wreck Raiden/Vamp though, especially taking RIVALRIES MATTER into account. Mario/Bowser have a shot if Cloud/Sephiroth beat Link/Ganondorf just due to finals craziness. If they face Link/Ganondorf in the finals, I can't see Mario/Bowser winning that. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Only way I see Mario/Bowser winning is if Cloud/Sephiroth defeat Link. SFFis still present. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Rivalry Rumble: 6/6 Today: Donkey Kong/King K. Rool & Sub-Zero/Scorpion |
Also
this makes me continue to think Mario/Bowser have a shot at taking this
thing. Not a great shot, but it's possible via bandwagoning. What makes you think that? Link/Ganondorf is a bad opponent for Mario/Bowser but a Cloud/Sephiroth that already beat Link/Ganondorf doesn't seem much better. --- Pokemon VGC2011 NW Regional - Top 8 Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place |
