From: RottingToe | #097 If they got that much on rachet I would give them the advantage. Kerrigan is turbofodder. --- KingBartz: Oracle Ranked #70 Bracket is 8/9 with today's pick being Luigi/Waluigi |

From: UltimaterializerX | #098 Really beating yourself up over that, aren't you? |
From: UltimaterializerX | #098 LOL I have them losing to Samus/Ridley, which I'm even now starting to doubt... Go Weegee, let's get to 60%! --- I'm a mess http://i43.tinypic.com/205o5l.gif |
So when I pay too much attention to my bracket, I lose. This time, I tried the opposite, and I'm still going to lose. I see that there is no winning strategy. And now for something completely different. Crash/Cortex vs Pac-Man/Blinky, who ya got? --- "You know what, forget it. Nothing I can think of posting will really be of much use to anyone in any way, shape, or form." ~LinkMarioSamus |
uh whats happening --- KingBartz: Oracle Ranked #70 Bracket is 8/9 with today's pick being Luigi/Waluigi |
Go Weegee, let's keep it around 56%! Unless you're gonna lose, that'd be okay too! |
I took Pac-Man and Blinky without a second thought. --- And then the car wash cost five dollars. Pokemon White: 4427 1095 9089 |

Man, if only Cecil had popped up with this strength about 20 minutes ago. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/FII1z.gif |
I'm not so sure this match is over. 390 votes and Luigi only gained by 20. --- Pobody's nerfect. |
Went with Crash. --- peace comes from within |
From: junk_funk | #112 It is over --- Not changing this sig until the Bengals, Bills, Browns and Lions win the Super Bowl (10/10/10) The most American Canadian on Board 8 - #9 Bro on Board 8 |
This totally means Cecil is going to win the ASV. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/FII1z.gif |
From: WarThaNemesis2 | #115 You're joking, right? --- I'm a mess http://i43.tinypic.com/205o5l.gif |
No, I'm clearly being serious about Final Fantasy winning the ASV against Nintendo. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/FII1z.gif |
Sorry, sarcasm gets muddled on the interwebz. Now, how much do you think this Nintendo power favors Fox/Wolf? (lol c wut i did thar?) --- I'm a mess http://i43.tinypic.com/205o5l.gif |
Poll isn't quite over yet, but.... Q1: If this were Cecil vs. Kain, would they be beating Luigi/Waluigi right now? Methinks they would be winning narrowly. Q2: If this were a night match and the FF4 characters used sprites, would they win? Mmm....not quite, but it'd be a lot closer, I say! Q3: Both Q1 and Q2 combined? I think most definitely Team FF4 would have won! --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
We
underestimated Golbez, I think. I doubt anyone that got into the first
Dissidia is worse than decent fodder, and Golbez actually has an
acceptable-strength game to back it up. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
This
is the Luigi who beat Cube, Bowser, Pikachu, Kirby, and pulled 45% on
Yoshi. Luigi is a high tier Nintendo character. Wawaweegee doesn't bring
him down that much. Cecil's never won a thing, and Kain is fodder. --- I'm a mess http://i43.tinypic.com/205o5l.gif |
If Kain was in this, they might be winning. |
I have no doubts about Ryu/Ken winning the next round, but Fox/Wolf vs. Yuna/Seymour has me a bit worried... --- Official Marth of the SSBU Board Sign here http://bit.ly/qqDDST and copy this to your sig if you want Majora's Mask 3D. |
From: shinigami820 | #123 Fox/Wolf no doubt. --- I'm a mess http://i43.tinypic.com/205o5l.gif |
From: RottingToe | #121 That's where I disagree. I thought Luigi/Waluigi were gonna go big (upped my Oracle to 62% at the end). I thought the day match, picture advantage, and these guys being pushed as HEY GUYZ, IT'S TOTALLY A RIVALRY by Nintendo would be enough. Turns out it isn't. This is another warning shot for Link. Can't wait to see how he responds. --- Yoblazer: http://i32.tinypic.com/zlf1w7.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Is
this match THAT weird? I'm not sure I'd take Luigi to go much over 60%
in a 1v1 against Cecil, and Golbez brings a lot more to the table than
Waluigi does. Luigi is actually doing better than my expectations... I
expected a 51-53% kinda win for him here. --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
Fox and wolf will beat yuna and seymour easily. |
X-stats say that Luigi would win with 61.3% in a 1vs1 against Cecil so yeah, it is a tad weird compared to the expected. --- Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time |
ShatteredElysium posted... X-stats say that Luigi would win with 61.3% in a 1vs1 against Cecil so yeah, it is a tad weird compared to the expected. But after what we've been seeing recently, we should throw that kinda stuff out the window and look at the rivalries... Luigi/Waluigi is a joke rivalry, while Cecil/Golbez is a good rivalry. Theres no way it was ever going to be 62%+ like I saw some people going for. That would suggest that Waluigi makes Luigi stronger. --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
Cecil probably gets a cut or two in during this match, I would think. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
Has anyone asked SBAllen about the Battle Stats? He really should get those fixed up before Phoenix/Gordon. --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/ml36gl_th.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Battle stats were broken throughout most of the last contest, I don't suspect that'll change this time! --- I wish I could wear skirts and dresses :( -GMUN |
Cecil/Golbez
isn't even a proper rivalry. I'll be honest I think it isn't so much
rivalry factor they're getting as anti-rivalry factor... against
Luigi/Waluigi. That's why I voted for them, at least. Now, Cecil/Kain, there was a rivalry. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
Why would this match signal problems for Link, geez. DA NATIVES ARE RESTLESS. This match is just lol Waluigi. He's dopey antagonism, not a decent rival or boss / villain. Mario / Bowser takes a hit if you swap in Wario, either due to the raw strength loss or the poor rivalry. Mario / Bowser is the most comparable benchmark here, and it suggests Link / Ganon will open a can. --- "Getting lucky 100% of the time... it's called PRO SKILL." -BlAcK TuRtLe |

I agree that Kain would be better if only because he is a stronger character, but Golbez is still a great rival for Cecil. And the fact they put aside their differences and fight together at the end makes it an even better rivalry, since its not just the normal "Hero/Villain" thing. -end FF Spoilers- --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
As far as iconic rivalries go, Mario/Bowser is much better than Link/Ganon. The thing is, unlike Bowser, Ganondorf doesn't actually appear in that many games. Yeah he's popular, but he doesn't really have the same type of rivalry with Link that Bowser does with Mario. Let's not forget the Mario spinoffs, either, the RPGs at least certainly help the relationship between Bowser and Mario. I mean, Link/Ganondorf will still be beastly because, you know, Zelda, but not what we're used to from Link, I believe. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
I mean, Link/Ganondorf will still be beastly because, you know, Zelda, but not what we're used to from Link, I believe. This is definitely possible, and personally I would vote Mario / Bowser over Link / Ganon here because it is a more iconic rivalry ... but to say we already have evidence that Link will underperform. I'll believe that when and if he goes out and drops the ball by only tripling Arthas, not before. --- "Getting lucky 100% of the time... it's called PRO SKILL." -BlAcK TuRtLe |

He got like 79% on Thrall last contest, and Arthas is stronger than Thrall. Hell, I'd take Illidan to be stronger than Thrall too based on just character design. --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |

Besides *FF4 spoilers* That wasn't even really Golbez. The second we meet the real Golbez he's a good guy. *End spoilers* Kain is a much better example of a rivalry because you've got the ideological clash, they're competing for the same goal, and in the context of this contest, Kain's pretty good. Actually, the FFIV crew as a whole need to make more appearances. Post-FFIVDS and the legion of spinoffs and rereleases that came with it, FFIV characters may have never won, but they've always looked good. This match is no exception. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
ugh guys, what happened to the Nintendo ASV? >_> --- This signature is signed by Dr. Football |
Lol at people thinking Link will lose to Mario because of Mario's more "iconic" rivalry. Mario has always been head over heels more iconic than Link on an individual level. And he still gets schooled every time. --- Pobody's nerfect. |

Arthas is so close to Thrall, indirectly, that a tripling would indeed be an underperformance for this contest. If Link doesn't pull at least 80%, I'm going to have to call it a wash for the semis. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |

Ganondorf
is damn strong on his own, and he and Link do have a strong rivalry
that persists throughout the strongest game on the site. I think you guys are undervaluing the Link/Ganondorf rivalry just to find reasons it may lose. This isn't Luigi/Waluigi we're talking about. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy IV (FF2US) http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3445328 |
