Well, at least Ness broke 40%. That's enough to please me.

I'm convinced Ness/Porky would have done a lot better.

haha, are you serious?

That makes 60% seem like a stretch and holy crap does this contest need a close match.

Yeah so far not even one close match and not even a surprise result.Must be the most boring contest.

Have to admit even as someone who isn't big on CT, the Frog/Magus rivalry was a really good one. The plot arc concerning these two was definitely the highlight of the game for me, I'm hoping to see some proof of existence of the "rivalry matters" notion here.

Well a close match here would be pretty awesome. MGS and Chrono Trigger in a close match? Yes please.

Though I'm not sure MGS fans will care enough to go all out to rally Raiden and Vamp to victory.

Like I said Raiden going up against Frog or Magus may be debatable, but this is almost a 2v1 situation.

Frog/Magus actually have a pretty big pic advantage, too, which makes this even worse.

If they continue to lose ground - which is entirely possible - then yes, Chell and GlaDOS deserve to be the favorites next round.

#340 | PartOfYourWorld | Posted 11/14/2011 9:10:19 AM | message detail | (edited)
Alucard is the favorite now, pretty clearly.

Wondering: how many entrants don't feature a main protagonist as one of the rivals? There aren't many: the 'atherines, Yuna/Seymour (although Yuna is kinda co-lead with Tidus), Dan/Sagat. Oh well, unless they fall to the mid-50s or some crap, I won't proclaim doom.

Terra/Kefka is definitely the stronger rivalry, though.

this could end in the mid-50s. I'll still take Frog/Magus over Chell/Glados but... wow. hopefully KP is right and Raiden is suddenly boosted by the addition of Vamp (what)

Well, there are a couple ways to spin this. Raiden/Vamp did win a vote-in, and the first MGS duo looked great. I don't think CT will have trouble reaching Alucard, but yeah, getting the win there will be tough.

Chrono Trigger needs some new exposure. It can't be worse than FFVI like this!

Vamp and Raiden are awesome, don't hate!

Also on a completely irrelevant note, I can barely study my medicine without laughing anymore because RE5 ruined the word "saturation" for me. I'll be in surgery one day laughing, damn you Capcom.

I've only played MGS2 (well an hour of MGS4 so far but haven't seen Raiden), but is the rivalry between Raiden and Vamp significantly better in MGS4 or something? I don't remember them being much of rivals at all outside of some boss fights in MGS2

Once again the perfects do way better than everyone else. They end up nearly 20 percentage points ahead of the -1s. The -1s only do a little better than the overall average.

10 people fell off the Top 50. supersabata, Lonewolf00B, yyyyy11, tigger93, FF_Wakka, WynterWaters, Dark_SS, VDontheLadyYo, RedC19 and mastaofdarklink did not have Chell vs. GlaDOS winning their match.

is the rivalry between Raiden and Vamp significantly better in MGS4 or something?


There was a 47-minute MGS4 hype trailer composed entirely of them fighting and Kojima jerking it in the background, no joke.
