GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1022
I'd
go with Ryu/Ken. As good as the trainers are doing here right now, most
of it is due to sff and pic factor. It'll probably be close, though. --- Thanks for reinforcing your stupidity, jerks. Einstein > You |
 |
We already saw them do worse than this on Kerrigan Vs. Raynor. This performance doesn't really mean much except crushing SFF --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Huh,
I didn't expect the Trainers to lose so much percentage with the Europe
vote and morning vote considering this is Nintendo vs. Nintendo. --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif |
Europe loves them some Waluigi. --- I wish I could wear skirts and dresses :( -GMUN |
This performance doesn't really mean much except crushing SFF I don't buy this at all. You have to be well-liked by your fanbase to get dominant SFF to this degree. It's at least an indicator that the Nintendo voters should stick by them. Dominant SFF is not something that should be ignored or disregarded. I'm not insta-calling them over Ryu/Ken or anything, I just feel it's silly to call this match "meaningless." --- http://img806.imageshack.us/img806/7351/xiiirocks.jpg |
From: XIII_rocks | #405 Or your opponent has to be...not well-liked. It's probably a combination of the two here, honestly. Not trying to discredit Red/Blue here because 77% on Luigi is ridiculous, but still, some of this is anti-Waluigi, I think. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
I just noticed we have new banners. Time to refresh a few times to watch them all. EDIT: Here they are. http://image.com.com/gamefaqs/images/rivals/rivals-71-3.jpg http://image.com.com/gamefaqs/images/rivals/rivals-71-2.jpg The old ones still seem to be used as well though. --- There ain't no gettin' offa this "Cloud/Sephiroth > Link/Ganondorf" hype-train we're on! Confidence level 15% |
From: LeonhartFour | #406 There's no such thing as Anti Waluigi. It['s not hard to figure out...pokemon is extremelypopular on this site, noon gives a crap about Waluigi and Luigi would lose to just about every pokemon that has entered the contest including Bidoof. Noone cares about Waluigi. --- SSBB FC : lolyouactuallythinkiplaythiscrapgameonline |
Has Pokemon ever SFFed anything, though? I always thought Pokemon opposed Nintendo SFF, whether in favor or not. --- *huggles* |
Pokemon
hasn't really had much opportunity to SFF stuff. It's resisted SFF when
it's been the weaker element in the match (like R/B/Y against OoT), but
we've never really seen it have an opportunity to SFF something
noticeably weaker than itself. From: The_Djoker | #408 And that's the problem. I'm not sure what you're even arguing! --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
RBY likely SFFd Majora's Mask in the Games Contest. It would explain a lot. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
And that's the problem. I'm not sure what you're even arguing! I think the idea is "people don't actively antivote Waluigi - people just don't care about him". --- http://img806.imageshack.us/img806/7351/xiiirocks.jpg |
From: XIII_rocks | #412 I'm not sure how you can look at the two matches and draw that conclusion though! --- http://i.imgur.com/CbfFb.jpg |
So does anyone think the Trainers would have performed similarly against Fox/Wolf? --- *huggles* |
Fox/Wolf is probably stronger than Luigi/Waluigi. Probably. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
From: BK_Sheikah00 | #414 They'd probably rock face, but I don't think they'd SFF them this bad, because Fox/Wolf seems to be a respected rivalry, at least in comparison to Luigi/Waluigi. --- http://i.imgur.com/CbfFb.jpg |
Pictures through Zidane/Mega Man are up. This would have been a great time to get laughing Kefka into a pic. Oh well. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
That Fox/Wolf pic is bad. Everything else is great. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
All of those are great, except Fox/Wolf but they were doomed anyway --- ~ Rivalry Rumble Oracle Challenge ~ Rank - 27th Today's Prediction: Trainers - 65.17% |
http://image.com.com/gamefaqs/images/rivals/rivals-40.jpg Oh boy, that sure doesn't look good for the Bosses. That match could be a lot closer than expected with this pic. The Bosses should still have it, but I should preobably lower my Oracle. --- There ain't no gettin' offa this "Cloud/Sephiroth > Link/Ganondorf" hype-train we're on! Confidence level 15% |
Fighters going to overperform on Fox/Wolf. Also, looks like we have a new set of banners for the poll page (cut down from the 20 we had before). 2 and 3 are new. http://image.com.com/gamefaqs/images/rivals/rivals-71-1.jpg http://image.com.com/gamefaqs/images/rivals/rivals-71-2.jpg http://image.com.com/gamefaqs/images/rivals/rivals-71-3.jpg http://image.com.com/gamefaqs/images/rivals/rivals-71-4.jpg http://image.com.com/gamefaqs/images/rivals/rivals-71-5.jpg http://image.com.com/gamefaqs/images/rivals/rivals-71-6.jpg http://image.com.com/gamefaqs/images/rivals/rivals-71-7.jpg --- Sometimes life it takes you by the hand. It puts you down before you know it, It's gone and you're dead again. |
You'd think FFIX was old FF based on it's constant Dissidia pics. Chris/Wesker invoking MvC fans, as if they couldn't have more of a shot! Though the Bosses look....quite boss. |
MGS
melty art usually isn't the best for MGS characters, but it's not like
the Bosses are in any danger of losing (LOL pjbasis). Zidane/Kuja pic is good because they actually look like Zidane and Kuja. Not that it matters. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
http://image.com.com/gamefaqs/images/rivals/rivals-41.jpg Easily the nicest battle pic, both parts very well done. http://image.com.com/gamefaqs/images/rivals/rivals-39.jpg Easily the ugliest, those portrait boxes just suck. It'd be a much nicer battle pics with just the sprite landscape. --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic fanboyism |
WOW I like that Samus / Terra pic. --- "Ovelia ... SPOILERS IN THE KEYWORDS WOOPS" - Vormav |
I
can't tell what the heck's going on in the Orochi part of that Ammy
pic, but that's probably because I've barely played Okami at all. --- "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!" |
I like all of those pics except for Fox/Wolf. Especially Ryu/Ken, Terra/Kefka, Link/Ganon and Zidane/Kuja. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
If you've played Okami, that Orochi pic is as good as it gets. Not to mention Ammy looks godlike as always. --- There ain't no gettin' offa this "Cloud/Sephiroth > Link/Ganondorf" hype-train we're on! Confidence level 15% |
Wow, that Fox/Wofl pic is ugly. --- - |
Also, what game is that Link/Ganon artwork from? I don't think I've ever seen that one. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
Fox/Wolf is running for worst match pic of Round 2. That is just awful. :/ http://image.com.com/gamefaqs/images/rivals/rivals-39.jpg Can't be the only one who thought "too big", heh. --- Surskit .-#Elements of Water#-. |
From: LeonhartFour | #431 It's on the Ocarina of Time 3D soundtrack cover. --- Smurf , The Cream of Sonic Fanboyism |
Let's rank the following Nintendo rivalries in terms of strength: Kirby/Meta Knight DK/K. Rool Luigi/Waluigi Fox/Wolf --- "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!" |
My guess: Fox / Wolf Kirby / Meta Knight DK / K. Rool Luigi / Waluigi I can't see any of those other three doing better against Yuna / Seymour --- "Ovelia ... SPOILERS IN THE KEYWORDS WOOPS" - Vormav |
Kirby > Fox > DK > Luigi --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic fanboyism |
BK_Sheikah00 | Posted 11/23/2011 6:45:33 AM | message detail | quote Wait. Luster has 200+ alts with perfect brackets, but is dead in the guru? lol. That's because my main account isn't a perfect bracket. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
Why do you have all your alts with the same bracket, but your main account is different? --- http://i.imgur.com/fe05x.png http://i.imgur.com/stNJf.png |
Your
alt accounts only need to beat SBAllen's score to win Karma. Doing
something like submitting the BOP bracket will usually get the job done.
With your main account, you might opt to take some risks to try and get
a better score. However, taking risks has always been the wrong choice
so far. --- Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place Pokemon VGC2012 NW Regional - 16th place |
What's the point of karma if you don't need more than 75? I mean it's more impressive to have an older account than to have more karma. --- caps |
LeonhartFour | Posted 11/23/2011 5:26:40 PM | message detail | quote Why do you have all your alts with the same bracket, but your main account is different? Because I need my alts to be different than my main account so my main account doesn't get grouped into one whole entry like you see on the leaderboard. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
Kirby/MK Fox/Wolf DK/K.Rool (Wa)Luigi Luigi's not all that far ahead of Kirby/Fox/DK, his rivalry is practically non-existent, and Waluigi's an absolute hate-magnet. We've seen him be SFF'd to oblivion before anyway: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2328 FACT OR FICTION: Link/Tingle would beat the Trainers in a match. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate E P O N A. |
What's the point of karma if you don't need more than 75? I mean it's more impressive to have an older account than to have more karma. No real point other than you get to make topics about having over 100,000 Karma. --- Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place Pokemon VGC2012 NW Regional - 16th place |
From: HaRRicH | #442 oh god not this again. --- http://mypsn.eu.playstation.com/psn/profile/smurfsdabomb.png |
That Mario poll always makes me laugh at how bad Peach did. From: HaRRicH | #442 FACT We totally need a Link/Tingle vs. Cloud/Sephiroth bonus poll for the ultimate humiliation --- http://i52.tinypic.com/2zfiu09.gif http://i54.tinypic.com/10729w2.gif |
From: -LusterSoldier- | Posted: 11/23/2011 4:35:00 PM | #441 My 4 alts that are grouped together right below me on the leaderboard all have different brackets (mostly with different round 2/3 picks), and aren't grouped with my main bracket. I'm guessing it's because my main account is a prize bracket while the others are fun entries. --- Sometimes life it takes you by the hand. It puts you down before you know it, It's gone and you're dead again. |
If
Link/Ganon wins, the bonus poll should be splitting them up and having
Link vs. Ganon... just to see if Link can go over 88% today. >.> --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
so what does Ryu need to match this performance? 70%? yeah yeah yeah this one is SFF and doesn't matter blah blah whatever you say --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
70%
would make me feel good about it. I think as long as they manage 65% or
so, they've got a chance. Anything low-60s or below, and I'd be really
worried about them. --- http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/8718/leonflowchart.png |
I'd
say anywhere from 62 to 68 is my expected range for Ryu/Ken. Any higher
or lower and I start questioning if the match should still be
debatable. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/FII1z.gif |
