Nah, this says a lot more about how bad Dan/Sagat is than how good Chris/Wesker is, I think. --- http://i.minus.com/iH9vIGOBoyTQ2.gif |
Sagat is possibly the weakest original character, Dan is a lame joke character, and their rivalry is unknown. I don't know why anyone expected this to be in the 50s like some of the predictions I saw --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |

There's still only 24 of them left, though. The perfects do quite well but we still lose a bunch of them. The next few tiers below them all do roughly the same. Just 2 people fell off the Top 50 this time.

They are quite terrible actually. Compared to the starts of the other matches this tournament? And with such a weak team to boot (and the other one not being elite level)? It's much higher than I expected. |
redrocket posted... Woah, even better than Ryu/Ken? In terms of character, of the depth of the relationship between the two, yeah. It's a more powerful rivalry, you could say. Ryu/Ken are great for different reasons, though, and they would probably get the vote from me for those other reasons. --- peace comes from within |
Wesker/Chris
could be humored to win next round/the division with this performance
assuming neither Boss nor Tidus kill the other team. There now someone said it. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
You could also argue that this makes Kirby/Meta Knight look even better. Though I still think Sonic/Robotnik has that. --- "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 |

A
while back I wondered if these improbable blowouts by fodder-line
characters were due to bracket voting, yeah, because if nobody really
cares you'd think results would be a little less lopsided. Chris Redfield SECRET BEAST AMIRITE. --- "Getting lucky 100% of the time... it's called PRO SKILL." -BlAcK TuRtLe |

People
who only play Nintendo made games? I dunno, you make a good point.
>_> I guess I just have a hard time believing a character like
Amaterasu could put up 70 on anyone. And the idea of Tom Nook/Crazy Redd
being a "rivalry" might get some joke votes I suppose. --- Keeping this until Casey Mears wins his 2nd Nascar Cup race. 7/7/07 Yankees Fan. Jaguars Fan. Mark Sanchez Wannabe. |

I have faith in Nook/Redd to pull the upset! No I don't, at all, but I think they'll keep it under 70 tbqh. --- http://i.imgur.com/LjoWT.png |
Its
definitely possible, I give you that. I just don't quite see it
happening. And the Kefka/Marcus/Tom/Zelos makes it feel possible.
>_> Marcus and Kefka are *okay* and Tom Nook still put up 18% in a
four-way. And again, I think an Animal Crossing rivalry has a high
chance for joke votes. I don't know if thats just me or not. --- Keeping this until Casey Mears wins his 2nd Nascar Cup race. 7/7/07 Yankees Fan. Jaguars Fan. Mark Sanchez Wannabe. |
that was pre-Dissidia lettuce Kefka that beat Tom Nook, though! --- thelefty for analysis crew 2008 imo -tranny I have a third degree burn in flame-o-nomics -Sir Chris |
I have Chris/Wesker > Big Boss/The Boss I could be wrong though. Might be Chris/Wesker > Tidus/Jecht! |
Man,
we're really expecting BlowoutFAQs now. This might be another match
that finishes a crazy 10% ahead of the Oracle average, and it's barely
generating discussion. If this had been the third match of the contest,
we'd all be crapping ourselves lol. But anyway, I'm still really unsure about tomorrow's match. I'm not expecting Tidus to challenge or anything, but his is still a legit rivalry from a hugely popular RPG. BlowoutFAQs or not, I'm still very hesitant to take the Bosses big. I think the 55% spread line is a tricky one. --- Yoblazer: http://oi52.tinypic.com/ad21i1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I think the 55% spread line is a tricky one. Well, Fox/Wolf put 60% on Yuna/Seymour on a day match. I fully expect Tidus/Jecht to be the stronger FFX duo, but I don't know by how much. Similarly, the Bosses should run higher than Fox/Wolf. And this is also a day match. I think we could be looking at another 60-40 match. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
Tidus/Jecht
should be a lot stronger than Yuna's team. Sure, the jury has always
been out on whether Tidus or Yuna is the stronger FFX lead, but Jecht
kills Seymour and actually serves to make his rivalry legitimate
(whereas Seymour makes his look like a bad joke). If Bosses can 60/40 this legit FFX rivalry, than Samus could be looking at trouble earlier than most people expected. --- Yoblazer: http://oi52.tinypic.com/ad21i1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

If Bosses can 60/40 this legit FFX rivalry, than Samus could be looking at trouble earlier than most people expected. Whether or not you or I believe Yuna/Seymour is a legitimate rivalry doesn't really matter in this contest. The fact of the matter is, we don't actually know if Fox/Wolf failed to completely blow out Yuna/Seymour because the former is weaker than we thought, or the latter is stronger than we thought. In either case, I'm sure Tidus/Jecht is stronger, but compared to a baseline of what is the actual question. That said, if the Boss duo's strength is equally higher than the pair it's being compared against, then it doesn't really matter how strong the FFX team is. Unfortunately, I've only ever played MGS2, so I don't know much about them. I'm only going by x-stats and word of mouth. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
