GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1012
Kerrigan/Raynor shared that stinker vote-in poll with Gordon, right? Confidence in Phoenix ever-growing. --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/5nw45i.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

it's like no one looks at vote-ins or considers new game releases (Starcraft II) anymore --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
From: EmDubyaSee | #343 lol MWC calling the internet caring about our contests cheating But yeah, I'm really curious about what Link will do when the time comes for him to step out. If he puts out an 85% kill, I'm gonna mark out hard for THE HYLIAN HAMMER. It looks like AntiBlowoutFAQS has gone away for now and I want to see demolitions! --- Current Projects: Fool's Overture, CYOA: http://tinyurl.com/4y5ysx8 Sburbopolis, Homestuck RPG: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/60850665 |
I think Frog/Magus could do very well on Link/Ganondorf. As well as Magus did in 2003, or better even. --- 90s games > 00s games |
From: PartOfYourWorld | #351 Leon/Ada was in that one, too. --- http://i.imgur.com/fe05x.png http://i.imgur.com/stNJf.png |
Anti-BlowoutFAQs
might be a problem for judging Link's match. If he doesn't completely
kill his opponent, it may not necessarily be due to weakness. --- Pokemon VGC2011 NW Regional - Top 8 Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place |
ExThaNemesis posted... From: The Real Truth | #345 Yeah this match is going to drop below Vincent/Kerrigan numbers. Watch it finish around 76-77%. Red/Blue is decent for sure, but the Starcraft duo is just that weak. Nobody cares about the characters. I mean, I do, but this site doesn't. Yeah but this is probably what the Pokemon guys could do in a 24 hour match and they'd be obliterating in a day match, so this is good for them. We comin for you, Samus Since you mention Samus, does anyone else expect something like Ryu/Ken > Red/Blue > Samus/Ridley > Ryu/Ken --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.

85%
against Arthas/Illidan isn't that hard to believe, even before the
contest began, Arthas looked pretty weak last year and his partner is
pretty weak. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Rivalry Rumble: 6/6 Today: Donkey Kong/King K. Rool & Sub-Zero/Scorpion |
What is this "anchor" stuff I see people mentioning? Interesting talk about Kain instead of Golbez. Golbez is one of my faves but yeah, Cecil/Kain would definitely be the stronger pair, by a good amount. I think they'd do at least 5 points better on the Luigis than Cecil/Golbez. Possibly even 10 points. Kain is much stronger than Golbez. How many points better do others estimate Cecil/Kain would do against the Luigis? On Crono, Crono/Lavos got under 58% on Leon/Ada on this vote-in: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4482 Now of course 12-ways are highly unreliable and all that, but that's a big gap to make up - I think the ninjas are probably just stronger than Crono/Lavos. Lavos just kills Crono there. That match with the Snakes is going to get ugly. Unless it's Solid **** vs. sprite Crono :P It's too bad because I think I'd take Mario/Crono rivalry to win the contest. Alas. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
From: creativename | #359 anchor = the main character of the rivalry. --- http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/984/rvpi.jpg "I was wrong" - SmartMuffin |
Cecil/Kain might beat Luigi/Waluigi. Cecil/Golbez is a much, much tougher sell. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Also I am so upset that I didn't go with Phoenix/Edgeworth. I feel like Phoenix has grown considerably since he lost to Gordon last time, but I got burned there and just couldn't do it. --- http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/984/rvpi.jpg "I was wrong" - SmartMuffin |
From: KanzarisKelshen | #353 Haha, yes. We haven't seen THE HAMMER since he put up 70% on Sonic. Dunno how often we'll see it nowadays, though. 2010 suggested that he was beginning to get anti-voted. Of course, it probably won't happen against his BITTER RIVAL Cloud or Nintendo reps he should naturally SFF, but Arthas is neither of those, and it is a night match. --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/ml36gl_th.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Sub-Zero/Scorpion projected to get 68.22% on Crono/Lavos based on the vote-in, while we're on the subject. haw haw red sox --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonpngpe.png http://img.imgcake.com/squalloweenpngem.png |

There's no gravity between us. Our love is automatic. |
ExThaNemesis posted... From: creativename | #359 What is this "anchor" stuff I see people mentioning? anchor = the main character of the rivalry. Well that doesn't make sense. It should be the opposite, the character who slows down the team. When a ship discharges its anchor, the ship slows down |
6
people fell off the Top 50. homura44, DarkHolyElf, BobtheBarbarian,
smashbros5000, Shadowwolf1015 and dilpickle31 did not have Sub-Zero vs.
Scorpion winning the match. Gotta love having your failures publicised. :p Lovin' the Red/Blue showing here, also. --- The RPG Duelling League: www.rpgdl.com An unparalleled source for RPG information and discussion |
From: ExThaNemesis | #360 Eh? I thought the anchor was referring to the weaker entry in the rivalry. Like it keeps them from moving forward, so to speak. I guess anchors can also keep things from being blown away too. |
If
Ryu/Ken get equal or lower on Ratchet/Nefarious, I'm calling Red/Blue
the favorite. A blowout from potentially anti-voted Pokemon is more
impressive, I think. Ryu/Ken probably get in the 80s at this rate, though. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
From: charmander6000 | #358 Yeah, you know what? I think it's totally doable. Arthas is probably stronger than Kerrigan, but Illidan is 100% obscure, way beyond Raynor. And Link is...Link, really. And he has the OoT factor in his back pocket. He's not gonna do 90%, but 85% can be done. --- Current Projects: Fool's Overture, CYOA: http://tinyurl.com/4y5ysx8 Sburbopolis, Homestuck RPG: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/60850665 |
Yeah, the anchor is the weaker character in the rivalry. --- http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2369/mythbattlers.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |
Lavos
sucks, why can't we have Crono/Crono as a rivalry? That team would
have so much in good characters on it that I'm not sure I could stand
even watching their matches. --- 90s games > 00s games |
85% on Arthas/Illidian is doable considering Link got 80% on Arthas last year. --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |
But
yeah, I'm really curious about what Link will do when the time comes
for him to step out. If he puts out an 85% kill, I'm gonna mark out hard
for THE HYLIAN HAMMER. It looks like AntiBlowoutFAQS has gone away for
now and I want to see demolitions! Oh god think about it: Link is the site's champ, and his and Ganon's individual strength far exceed Red's (albeit the rivalry part is a variable), and his match is going to basically replay this one: another Blizzard RTS character pairing that will be even less relevant getting blown out. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4481 Arthas picked up an unconvincing 4th here. Harman Smith vs. Kun Lan? Kyo Kusanagi vs. Iori Yagami? Ragna the Bloodedge vs. Jin Kisaragi? Ryo Hazuki vs. Lan Di? This poll is just as bad as the Gordon / Breen one. And he looks like crap in it. --- "Getting lucky 100% of the time... it's called PRO SKILL." -BlAcK TuRtLe |
From: KamikazePotato | #369 Don't be ridiculous KP, Ratchet totally beats Kerrigan. To say that if Ryu and Ken don't equal this performance they're in trouble is OK, but to say a similar result looks bad for them? Takin' it too far IMO. --- Current Projects: Fool's Overture, CYOA: http://tinyurl.com/4y5ysx8 Sburbopolis, Homestuck RPG: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/60850665 |
I've been using it to describe the stronger character, pretty sure. It does fit better for the #2 guy, though. What should we call the the #1 guy? --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/5nw45i.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
From: KamikazePotato | #361 That. No problems for Luigi imo. --- "whats a matter afried i might boobs punch you" - ertyu |
Ratchet would beat Kerrigan nowadays, yeah, but that doesn't mean Ratchet/Nefarious beats Raynor/Kerrigan. --- http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/8718/leonflowchart.png |
85% on Arthas/Illidian is doable considering Link got 80% on Arthas last year. How is that? You think Ganon adds more to the team than Illidan? 80 to 85 is a big big gap, it's the same as 50 to 62.5. --- 90s games > 00s games |
Raynor/Kerrigan vs. Ratchet/Nefarious would be pretty debatable. I'd probably take Kerrigan, if only for recency. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
PartOfYourWorld posted... I've been using it to describe the stronger character, pretty sure. It does fit better for the #2 guy, though. What should we call the the #1 guy? The propellor. A ship moves because of the proepller |
From: red sox 777 | #379 RIVALRY FACTOR It's not as simple as just adding whatever Ganondorf gets to Link to arrive at the number, I think. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |

Does anyone actively dislike Ganon? There's no reason to downvote Link because Ganon is in the poll. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site. We're not going to strip out the soul of the site. -CJayC |
I
don't know if I believe that, but I do believe rock-paper-scissors
results like that are possible a lot more than other people on this
board seem to. Brawl > Melee > MM > Brawl ( !! ) --- "Getting lucky 100% of the time... it's called PRO SKILL." -BlAcK TuRtLe |
RIVALRY FACTOR It's not as simple as just adding whatever Ganondorf gets to Link to arrive at the number, I think. That doesn't help Link. Ganondorf is a terrible rival. --- 90s games > 00s games |
From: The Real Truth | #385 Hi. --- http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/7760/222bj.jpg |

From: PartOfYourWorld | #376 Sail |
From: PartOfYourWorld | #376 The Headliner. --- ##Alec |
Even if Gordon wasn't in that poll, I'd be very worried for him right about now. Western characters are getting rocked so far. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
The captain --- "whats a matter afried i might boobs punch you" - ertyu |
I actually like calling the lead the anchor, because he 'anchors the team' and holds them firm and keeps them from blowing away. --- http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/984/rvpi.jpg "I was wrong" - SmartMuffin |
From: Colegreen_c12 | #390 I also thought this at first. Needs a windwaker pic to go with it. --- Chex Warrior (Chex Quest) for CB2011 |
I doubt most of GameFAQs thinks so. Rest assured they do. Given how popular Legend of Zelda is here, if Ganon wasn't not liked, he's be Noble Niner strength easily. --- 90s games > 00s games |
pjbasis posted... From: ExThaNemesis | #360 anchor = the main character of the rivalry. Eh? I thought the anchor was referring to the weaker entry in the rivalry. Like it keeps them from moving forward, so to speak. I guess anchors can also keep things from being blown away too. I think it makes more sense for the second character (whether weak or strong) to be the "anchor." I see it as relay race terminology, where the anchor is the last person to run. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
