GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1017
From: FateStayAlbion | #347 I've played through the entire series in the past few months Raiden/Vamp is.... not a rivalry actually, I'm not sure why people nominated this in the first place --- ~ Rivalry Rumble Oracle Challenge ~ Rank - 32nd Today's Prediction: Frog/Magus - 66.55% |
 |
Why the hell did I pick Frog/Magus in spread betting. Ouch. Well... if we see Frog/Magus lose next round, maybe we avoid some perfects! >_> --- http://img.imgcake.com/drakeryn/alecjpguz.jpg |
I've played through the entire series in the past few months Raiden/Vamp is.... not a rivalry actually, I'm not sure why people nominated this in the first place It's a rivalry to some extent. They have two pretty awesome fights and it carries on from their relationship in MGS2 --- "The great fallacy is that the game is first and foremost about winning. It's nothing of the kind. The game is about glory." - Danny Blanchflower |
Uggghhh
I forgot about the spread. But yeah, that's one silver lining in all of
this: if they continue to fall, then it does make their R2 match the
least predictable so far. I'd like to know how many of the perfects will
risk a 43-match streak on Frog/Magus if they end up at 55% here. --- Yoblazer: http://oi53.tinypic.com/2hd0dh1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Frog and Magus getting fairly consistent update wins here --- http://thechive.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/6.gif |
Oh hey, Frog and Magus sucking. This isn't even a surprise anymore. Why do I keep taking these chumps to do well? >_< --- Fight like dragons, have no fear, swords are made of STEEEEEEEEL~ |
http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3731 What I wanna know is why anyone took Frog/Magus over Alucard in the first place. --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
From: FateStayAlbion | #357 I forgot to look at my bracket before the deadline. --- Gamefaqs' #1 Testicle Bettor: Proud owner of many testes http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/6553/alec.png |
Yoblazer on The Show is what convinced me to take Frog/Magus to win the division. WHY DO I KEEP LISTENING TO HIM. FIRST SUNSHINE, NOW THIS. Although I will say that Raiden/Vamp are both awesome. I love playing MGO as Raiden and facing Vamp. "I can't die just yet." Raiden > Snake imo --- http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/984/rvpi.jpg "I was wrong" - SmartMuffin |

I'd like to know how many of the perfects will risk a 43-match streak on Frog/Magus if they end up at 55% here. I'm not perfect because I decided to pick against Donkey Kong in the battle challenge. But once I get past the Crash/Pac-Man and Siegfried/Ramza matches, it's smooth sailing until Dante/Sora (that might be my first bank). --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
The addition of Frog was supposed to help Magus a lot more than the addition of Dracula helped Alucard, simple as that. Silly me, thinking the addition of Frog would help anything. --- Fight like dragons, have no fear, swords are made of STEEEEEEEEL~ |
Hey,
they still have a shot. Maybe Raiden/Vamp beat Shepard/Saren easily.
People here were thinking too highly of Shepard anyway. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
From: ExThaNemesis | #359" so very right. --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic fanboyism |
From: ExThaNemesis | #359 Let's not say things we'll regret --- "I wish I was French." - blindhobo13 "I don't think you know what "French" means." - As I Desire |
Obviously, Frog/Magus had to go to the percentage I had them to for the oracle before I changed it. Sooo lame. |
For what it's worth I'd take Raiden/Vamp over Shepard/Saren pretty easily. --- http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/984/rvpi.jpg "I was wrong" - SmartMuffin |
I thought that they could beat Chell.Now I don't believe it.Still it will be a good match. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
Raiden really is a better character than Solid Snake. Big Boss wrecks them all though. --- "Ulti has the world's largest ballsack that all of B8 rides on because people are way obsessed. Me included. <3 you Ulti." -Digi |
There
is still a chance that Phoenix/Edgeworth expose the vampires, but I
doubt it somehow. I'm not worried about Frog/Magus losing in R2
either... I'm not even sure I'd take Chell/GlaDOS over Raiden/Vamp. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
Snake=Raiden>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Big
Boss --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Snake's a better character than people give him credit for. Certainly in MGS1 and 2. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
Big
Boss is the best. I've actually had a girl ask me if she could pretend I
was Big Boss during lovemaking. I told her "fine, but only if I can
pretend YOU are Big Boss." --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/5nw45i.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Snake is a fantastic character in every game he's in. I would certainly hope people haven't forgotten that. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Snake is a bad character. Doesn't come close to Big Boss. --- caps |
Don't
even try to pretend that Snake isn't an awful character in MGS1 outside
of one-liners. MGS2 and Act 5 of MGS4 are where he becomes a damn good
character. |

Legitimate question: has Snake ever done anything significant that he wasn't unknowingly manipulated by someone else into doing? |
^ wow, this new guy has the best sig I've ever seen. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Geez, people are so quick to bash the strength of CT characters! The most likely explanation is that Raiden/Vamp actually isn't as weak as most people thought they would be. I was confident that it would break 40, but still lose to Frog/Magus in the end. CT sure ain't anywhere near top level (besides Crono), but Frog and Magus have only lost to legitimate midcarders or better. |
Hey yoblazer, Jill has an UMVC3 DLC alt that looks like her old design. And Snake in MGS2 is his own force. In MGS4 he's 'technically' manipulated but it's more him cleaning up Big Boss' mess. He would've done it either way. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
BlackMetalex posted... Legitimate question: has Snake ever done anything significant that he wasn't unknowingly manipulated by someone else into doing? There's a lot, but his signature mission in Metal Gear is a textbook case - Big Boss *tried* to manipulate him into failing the mission, but Snake succeeded despite that and defeated him. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |
From: PartOfYourWorld | #372 Best post ever. But yeah Snake is only really good in MGS2. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´ "Every time MWE gets warned, an angel gets its wings." -FFDragon |
MGS4 Snake is the best. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
But it's so much fun telling people that they're awful human beings for disagreeing with my opinions on video game characters. |
Karma f***ing HUNTER yeaahhh Also Snake in MGS4 is one of the most amazing tragic heroes. He's an awesome character - the fact that Big Boss is probably (well, definitely) better shouldn't change that. --- http://img.imgcake.com/Nevest356/1dollagifas.gif |
I will never understand the BB love. He's a terrible character if you look past the surface. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Legitimate question: has Snake ever done anything significant that he wasn't unknowingly manipulated by someone else into doing? *MGSPW SPOILERS* As opposed to Raiden? Or Big Boss? Big Boss tries to get away from this in PW but Miller talked him into expanding Mother Base, getting Metal Gear, getting himself a nuke, taking a mission against the CIA, and who knows what else. The protagonists of MG are all pawns until after the credits of MGS4. --- When you've got a pretty-boy monkey on your back constantly calling you a puppet, you hardly want to seem like you're happy to be used. - DSakaCharanJ |
*Might* wanna edit that post for spoilers considering that's one of the biggest plot twists of the most recent MGS game. --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |
From: KamikazePotato | #387 Big Boss actually acts of his own accord and deals with FAR worse than Solid ever does. This isn't even up for debate. Maybe you like someone who is a glorified puppet, I don't. --- ·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.· http://img.imgcake.com/foolmoron/angajpgva.jpg |
KamikazePotato posted... I will never understand the BB love. He's a terrible character if you look past the surface. I can't name another character who causes world events to revolve around him entirely based on the fact that multiple people want to sleep with him. |
BB
is the biggest idiot in the series. he 'acts of his own accord' by
completely destroying his mentors last wishes and tries to create a
horrendous world of violence. There is absolutely nothing likable about
him. Snake knows he's being manipulated sometimes, but he doesn't care
as long as he does the right thing. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Oh,
and microwave scene alone>>everything BB ever had to 'deal with'.
BB had it easy compared to Snake. Friends, allies, fame. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
But that's why the ending of MGS4 is so good, because Snake finally breaks free of being a puppet. (obv Ocelot > all though tbqh) --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1045474.gif |
From: Kamekguy | #391 Ulti pulls that off pretty well. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.· http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v520/DS1/ani/breakin.gif |
But
really, BB is the MGS version of Che Guevara. He's a monster who
manages to convince everyone around him (in-universe and out of it) that
he's someone worth believing in. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
I'm just sayin', Frog/Magus are bleeding quite a bit of percentage right now...! --- "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 |
You *are* aware it was Zero that destroyed The Boss's last wishes, right? --- "I renamed my iPod 'The Titanic', so whenever I update it says 'The Titanic is syncing'." -Ryoko |
From: KamikazePotato | #396 And that's f***ing amazing He only really becomes a monster by Metal Gear 1/2 though tbqh. MGS3, PO and PW chart that descent pretty well, imo. --- :( http://i.imgur.com/KptHl.gif |
Big
Boss isn't a *total* monster, but PW definitely establishes that he's a
bitter and flawed individual. That's not a bad thing as far as
characterization goes, of course. Snake in MGS1 gets a worse rap though, and it's undeserved. That's actually the game where he gets his MOST characterization. He just happens to be an unrepentant sociopath at the beginning of it! --- http://i48.tinypic.com/1ryijd.jpg http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/020/b/f/Ariel_by_lolita_art.jpg |
