Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1021
Seeing Sonic ROFLSTOMP like this really makes me wonder, though... How on bloody earth did the 'atherines do so well? --- "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 |

From: PartOfYourWorld | #199 I don't doubt that. But it's not much different than Terra/Kefka looking good. It's more about their opponents being abysmal than them being really strong. Expecting the Bosses to squash. --- http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/8718/leonflowchart.png |

So we lost 0(?) battle brackets. Everyone was smart enough to make their second round picks, I guess... lame. I was banking (lol) on a few people forgetting to get myself onto the leaderboard. --- http://www.funnycorner.net/funny-pictures/4834/big-boss.jpg |

From: PartOfYourWorld | #191 Well, I don't usually like to toot my own horn, but I will in this case because it's for something worthwhile I TOLD YOU PEOPLE that the GameFAQs voterbase is smarter than most of us would ever care to admit. That's not smarter because Kirby/MK is the better rivalry of these two <_< It'd blindly supporting the old school if anything Personally, I like Sonic/Robotnik better. If DeDeDe was in MK's place, it'd be really tough, but... personally, I think Robotnik is a really underrated character. In fact, he's probably one of my favorite VG villains. --- "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 |
Dedede what. Kirby/MK is a better rivalry than Kirby/Dedede too <_< --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

Nintendoboy375 posted... This match is over. I wonder how many battle brackets will be lost... I banked on this match. I have Sonic in my contest bracket, but without any record of the Katherine/Catherine duo's strength, I didn't feel comfortable letting 56,100 points ride on a wild guess. Which is fine for me, because the people that are getting through this match intact will probably be busting some time this round anyway. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
Chris/Wesker is going to get crushed by the Bosses. It's 100% irrelevant in the most popular Resident Evil game. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/FII1z.gif |

From: MegatokyoEd | #219 Eh, I'm not sure they beat Tidus/Jecht, personally. Tidus/Jecht probably beat either Chris or Wesker in a contest poll. Or at the very least, it'd be very close. And FFX is a much more popular game than RE5. --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonpngpe.png http://img.imgcake.com/squalloweenpngem.png |
I expect Big Boss to beat Chris worse than he beat Tidus. Doubt that one is even semi-close. --- peace comes from within |
IT DOESNT MATTER NOW WHAT HAPPENS l WILL NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT |
Kind of crazy that anyone thinks Chris/Wesker stand a chance! --- http://i.imgur.com/Z2q8O.jpg http://www.yourgamercards.net/trophy/a/CaptainRockman.png |
red sox 777 posted... I think this is the site losing half its voters having its effect. We lost a lot of the younger voters, and are left with a core of 90s gamers. Good point, Kirby wasn't around in the 90s. --- You feel better but not much. |
Chris/Wesker
is the usual 'overrate someone based on beating up fodder'. The
stronger half of Dan/Sagat (because they sure as hell don't have RIVALRY
FACTOR) lost to Alex goddamn Mercer. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/FII1z.gif |

Well, I won't argue that he's one of the "deepest" or "objectively best" ones or anything. The boss battles against him in the older Sonic titles are great, though - moreso than Bowser battles, if you ask me - and I think he's a legitimately funny character too. I'll never understand why he's not more popular. --- "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 |
Big Boss/Boss gonna wipe the floor with CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS/Wesker. Only KoolAid factor could possibly save them. (need it to happen for the BB/TB > Samus/Ridley upset!) --- http://www.celebrityclubber.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Sort_of_want.jpg |
So...Jill/Nemesis or Leon/Ada: Which pair is stronger? --- http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/7760/222bj.jpg |
Chris
and Wesker don't stand a chance, but I hope they do well. They may be
aided by the fact that their rivalry is 15 years and several games in
the making, while Boss/Boss is a one-game deal. --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/ml36gl_th.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

More
BlowoutFAQs in action - at least in a relative sense. I'm not going
under 55% on the Oracle again until I actually see a match where that
happens, or we get to Dante / Sora where I have no clue. --- "Ovelia ... SPOILERS IN THE KEYWORDS WOOPS" - Vormav |
Sonic/Kirby was a day match, wasn't it? Because that's why I was never worried about this. Kirby couldn't get close to Sonic without the night dragging him down. This is going to get real ugly. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/FII1z.gif |
From: LeonhartFour | #223 Faulty reasoning! We all know how disproportionate the popularity of FFX and it's characters are. Chris/Wesker embody the whole series too, originating from the first game which definitely gets nostalgia and "classic" vote. |
Man.
I really liked this contest at first - I thought it was a lot of fun
seeing the characters boost due to the contest format. Now, though, I'm
dying for a break from all these blowouts. >_> --- "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 |
PartOfYourWorld posted... Chris and Wesker don't stand a chance, but I hope they do well. They may be aided by the fact that their rivalry is 15 years and several games in the making, while Boss/Boss is a one-game deal. Don't think that would apply to Chris/Wesker. I would wager most people didn't even care about their 'rivalry' pre-RE5, especially given how poorly old Resident Evil games have done in the past. If anything, I think the typical voters for Chris/Wesker are likely to give their votes for Big Boss/Boss. --- peace comes from within |
Wow, Sonic. What a wasted freakin' bracket. If we weren't gonna get Mario/Sonic, at least exercise some authoritarian special privilege and give us Sonic/Knuckles. Those two against X/Zero in a divisional final or quarterfinal would have been beautiful. --- Yoblazer: http://oi52.tinypic.com/ad21i1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Sonic's
at 77% in Europe and 79% in Asia. It's still real early for those
numbers to mean anything, but we could be in for a really rough night
for Kirby. I'm pinning this squarely on site demographics changing, so: Sonic, welcome back to the elite. --- 90s games > 00s games |
From: pjbasis | #237 You realize RE games before RE4 aren't very popular, right? I'm just saying that individually, Tidus, Jecht, Chris, and Wesker probably aren't very far apart. So I'd side with the (much) stronger game in that case. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
Wow
this is a surprising result. Hopefully Sonic manages to look better
against Mario this time than the debacle in the game contest. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
I
really hope the Trainers and Plumbers have a close match. If not, we
might not have another potentially close one until ChellDOS/Frogus. --- "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 |
From: TheCodeisBosco | #244 I'd be shocked if Red/Blue vs. Luigi/Waluigi was any closer than this match right here. --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!" |

Sonic would need 67.65% or higher on Kirby to pull that off. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
From: LeonhartFour | #242 I agree, but I think the series is stronger than any individual game, and rivalry factor should really help these guys out. It's kinda like Kirby. The games themselves are rather short and even fans wouldn't consider them the best games ever or anything. |
