GameFAQs Contests
Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1025
I would probably say 15 seconds tops. --- xyzzy |

He led Magus for half an hour........so let's go with less than 1 minute. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
You
know, Link himself may generate contest discussion, but it's hard to
care about what the opponent who's about to face him does! Against an
opponent like Sonic/Robotnik next round, we'd be talking up that big
showdown after a disappointing performance for Mega Man/Wily, but with
Link/Ganon ahead, it doesn't even matter. So Sonic/Robotnik vs. Mega Man/Wily: Who ya got? --- "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!" |
Megaman/Wily still win. It's not like this performance is outright bad; MM is going to come in just a little shy of the spread. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
Mega
Man easy. I still think that this result is more Zidane boosting than
anything. Let's compare what Mega Man has done in the last 3 years to
what Sonic has done. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? |
And next round will be the first real test of what Ganondorf brings to the table as a partner. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
Votals seems to be going up... This match just break 50k while DK vs MK and Kirby vs Sonic failed to do so --- Link's is pretty much the video game equivalent of the Jesus story. -- Yoblaser |
From: BlAcK TuRtLe | #155 Mega Man looked pretty bad in 2007 and 2008. He only started looking good again in 2010. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
From: LeonhartFour | #158 Compared to Sonic? --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? |
For the record, assuming Sonic/Robotnik and Mega Man/Wily are equal, Kirby/Meta Knight get 55.13% on Zidane/Kuja. Anything more than that, and Sonic would win. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
From: BlAcK TuRtLe | #159 Couldn't even beat Samus when she was getting LFF'd by Yoshi, ending up much closer than Ryu than to Samus in 2007. Getting crushed by Snake and barely able to beat Snake combined with Zero in 2008, losing to WCC. Not good showings for Mega Man, no matter what metric you use. Sonic has reason to improve since the last time he's been in a 1-on-1 contest anyway. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
I'm not sure why we're making 1-on-1 comparisons here anyway. That's not what we're arguing. --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |
MM
looked a lot better than Sonic in 2008 and 2010. That's undisputable.
Getting beaten up by Snake, Samus, and Mario is par for the course for
MM. Getting beaten by Auron and Kirby......is quite another matter. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
That's
not really the issue here though, so I'm still not sure why we're
arguing about it. Yes, Mega Man didn't look as bad as Sonic in 2008, but
from 2006-2009 (counting the Games Contest), he looked pretty subpar by
his usual standards. He rose back up to the occasion in 2010, sure. I
don't mind admitting that. But Sonic has had two well received games since the last time he was in a 1-on-1 contest, and 1-on-1 comparisons don't correlate 100% to this contest, so whether Mega Man is stronger than Sonic 1-on-1 (or was from 2007-2010) is irrelevant to the matter of whether Mega Man/Wily would beat Sonic/Robotnik now. --- http://i.imgur.com/CbfFb.jpg |
Well,
I think we're approaching this from the perspective that MM/Sonic 1v1
is the best measurement we have currently. The general feeling seems to
be that Wily is slightly better a partner than Robotnik or they're
equal. I mean, who knows how strong Kirby/MK is relative to
Zidane/Kuja? (Or if there's SFF in Sonic/Kirby) We can't make good
comparisons based on stuff we're very unsure on, so we're going to fall
back on 1v1 stuff that's a bit more definite. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
foxhead84 | Posted 11/28/2011 10:50:08 PM | message detail Votals seems to be going up... This match just break 50k while DK vs MK and Kirby vs Sonic failed to do so Well, we did just have 2 matches in a row involving Noble Niners, so I don't think it's surprising at all. I'll wait and see if this trend can continue, which means I'll need to see at least the next 2 matches break 50000 votes before I can say that votals are increasing. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
And yet we can't even say Mega Man is still stronger than Sonic 1-on-1 now. No, we can't determine how strong Kirby/Meta Knight are to Zidane/Kuja, but I'm pretty sure people would bet the house on Kirby/Meta Knight if you gave that match a 55/45 spread. That's all I'm saying. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
I
don't know about that. I know I wouldn't bet too much on that spread.
Zidane was close to Ike last year, who did better against Mario with
26% than I would expect out of Kirby. 45% on Pikachu too, which is only
a little worse than I'd expect out of Kirby. Throw in rivalry factor
and the site losing half its voters, and I wouldn't be confident in
Kirby/MK beating that spread. I'd bet more on MM/Wily beating Sonic/Robotnik, honestly. And there is the matter of SFF to deal with- Sonic and MM are both quasi-Nintendo at this point. We've seen MM blast Nintendo midcarders with SFF before, and I don't see why Sonic can't do it too. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
From: red sox 777 | #168 Mario wouldn't SFF Kirby that badly, I would wager. --- http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/8516/whatisdesiresig.gif |
It seems kinda disturbing to me that such a large chunk of the board is predicting a 56-58% Alucard win. Makes it feel like it'll be way off, in one direction or the other. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Phoenix
will probably pull a Phoenix and do worse. He's Zidane-ish in that way
where he dodges expectations for no good reason but to pester Oracle
predictions. --- "Ovelia ... SPOILERS IN THE KEYWORDS WOOPS" - Vormav |

How long was that? 1 minute? Hah. --- "Ovelia ... SPOILERS IN THE KEYWORDS WOOPS" - Vormav |
Phoenix couldn't even hold onto the lead for more than 2 minutes... I expected him to lead by the freeze --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |

not bad, Phoenix. is this the first real lead change of the contest? --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
IngmarBirdman | Posted 11/29/2011 12:03:03 AM | message detail How long was that? 1 minute? Hah. About 1 minute, 15 seconds. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
From: transcience | #185 Pretty much, yeah. We haven't had a match within 55/45 at the freeze yet. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |
transcience posted... not bad, Phoenix. is this the first real lead change of the contest? I wouldn't call a lead change 2 minutes in as a "real lead change". --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
It's pretty sad that this is by far the best match so far even though I know the lawyers are doomed after the first 5. The fact that there's any doubt as to the winner is just great. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
it only took 40+ matches. what a contest. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
It only took 40+ matches and Phoenix goddamn Wright to have a match within what, 55-45 at the freeze? --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/FII1z.gif |
Phoenix
held up better than I expected there. I'm sure it'll still be like
55-56% Alucard but at least he's looking respectable here. --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
Last round, Phoenix fell almost 6% from the freeze to the end. If he does that again, then the 55/45 streak obviously continues. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Phoenix has got this obviously these are just bracket votes. --- Starcraft is my life, so without it I wouldn't exist. - Artosis |
So, Alucard vs. Phoenix 1 v 1? If this ends 55-45 I can see myself taking him. Dracula is a much, much better #2 than Edgeworth. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
lol this match what a choke artist Phoenix. --- http://img.imgcake.com/alecoweenpngam.png http://img.imgcake.com/alecpngym.png |
I'd
laugh if the next update came and Phoenix was up by 10 or something.
The entire topic would die of shock. "A...close...match?!" --- "oh my god oh my god a spider just crawled INTO MY KEYBOARD" -pxlated "It just wants some web access." - Ness26 |
