LeonhartFour posted... I know I don't see someone hatin' on Genie up in here Robin Williams naming his daughter after Princess Zelda Factor will provide a big boost Hey, Genie's awesome, but he ain't gonna be worth a damn in terms of strength compared to top guys and I have no idea why red listed him there. Would be like listing Meta Knight or something among noteworthy VG guys. Had no idea he named his daughter for Princess Zelda, that's awesome. And extremely weird, since Williams was middle aged when the NES came out o_O Maybe he played the game while coked out once. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

He also named his son after Cody from Final Fight. I wasn't aware people didn't think Genie was the best character from one of the best Disney animated films! --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
I wonder how many of the perfect battle brackets will be left/unbanked after these two matches. Whoever gets through these two matches unscathed is probably gonna win it all. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v712/ExTha/10and14.jpg "I was wrong." - SmartMuffin |

From: ExThaNemesis | #303 I'd wager very, very highly that most perfects picked Alucard and Frog. So unless Chell/GlaDOS wins tomorrow, I very much doubt today and tomorrow decides it. --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif |
I wonder how many of the perfect battle brackets will be left/unbanked after these two matches. Whoever gets through these two matches unscathed is probably gonna win it all. Assuming Frog/Magus win, it might still be over 100. --- Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place Pokemon VGC2012 NW Regional - 16th place |
If
we don't see any upsets, more than one of these 100+ perfects will run
the table. What the heck is the Battle tiebreaker, anyway? --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/5nw45i.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Although
I'll say the match that will probably go the furthest toward deciding
who wins will be Trainers/Fighters. By the time we get to
Trainers/Fighters vs. Samus/Bosses, the winner of the former will
probably be a heavy favorite over the winner of the latter. Heck, they
practically already are. But Trainers might end up being a very big favorite by the time that match rolls around. We would need to have an honest-to-goodness upset to really mess things up. Dante winning would probably do it. --- "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!" |

From: PartOfYourWorld | #307 As far as I know, there isn't one. I doubt Bacon anticipated this when he invented the Battle Challenge. --- http://i52.tinypic.com/2zfiu09.gif http://i54.tinypic.com/10729w2.gif |

The Battle tiebreaker is the same as the bracket tiebreaker, where you predict the vote total in the final match. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
From: ExThaNemesis | #312 It's getting to the point that you almost can't afford to bank if you are perfect. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
From: ExThaNemesis | #312 bwahahahaha --- "I wish I was French." - blindhobo13 "I don't think you know what "French" means." - As I Desire |
From: LeonhartFour | #315 Screw that, I'm banking at Dante/Sora. Not going to win prizes, probably not going to get on the leaderboard, so! --- "My goal is to make this s*** cool again." - CM Punk |
I thought about banking on Dante/Sora, but I'm still "reasonably confident" in Sora, so I'll probably still roll with him. The only match at this point I'd consider banking on is Trainers/Fighters. That's it. --- http://i.imgur.com/CbfFb.jpg |
Hopefully Chell/GlaDOS can pull off something amazing tomorrow to screw everyone over. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v712/ExTha/10and14.jpg "I was wrong." - SmartMuffin |
^One of the matches I'm afraid of... the Portal pair beating Frogus. --- LM |
The only matches I'd think about banking on are Samus/Bosses, Alucard/Frog, or Samus/Trainers. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
I'm shocked there's little talk about Dante vs. Sora. It's one of the few matches this far that we have little stats on. --- "Go get me Jared...from Subway!" -- CM Punk Future 2011 Rivalry Guru Champion! |
tbqh, the Bosses > Samus has never crossed my mind. =/ --- LM |
I'm
on the fence about Sora/Dante. The way Cloud/Squall look and the actual
match picture will probably play a role in who I pick, because I'm not
banking (still never banked in two contests wooo). If Cloud and Squall
don't look great and if the picture favors Dante, I may go that way. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Most
people in the battle at least will screw up on Trainers/Fighters,
because they will either bank or take the Trainers. The Trainers seem to
be the favorite here, they have the higher seed so whatever casuals are
left probably picked them. Of course the Fighters will win, nothing has showed me otherwise, thus screwing people up. --- - |
Sora/Dante
is definitely the match I'm most torn on. Normally I'd lean towards
"Squintendo > Not-Squintendo" in a match between strong characters,
but both Sora and Riku choked matches against beatable opponents last
time. Another little point: even if you think Sora/Riku would have gone
up 2% against Hitler without the rallying - and remember, Hitler won
Europe outright so they benefited big time from a day match - it'd still
be worse than what the Bosses got on Hitler in the vote-ins (which is a
format that surely favours the anti-vote magnet and disadvantages the
easy winner). I'd take Dante/Vergil to beat Chris/Wesker pretty easily.
If the match pic gives Dante/Vergil an advantage I think I'm gonna run
the upset. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
I
have Bosses > Samus in my bracket, but Team MGS3 did not impress me
enough in their matches to make me believe they can take down Samley. --- "Go get me Jared...from Subway!" -- CM Punk Future 2011 Rivalry Guru Champion! |
I'd take Bosses to beat either Sora or Dante somewhat easily, too. --- http://i.imgur.com/fe05x.png http://i.imgur.com/stNJf.png |
I guess I can't bank until the end. Hoping for massive perfect slaughter on Link/Cloud. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
Is Alucard still the favorite for this division? --- :> |
Depends on what Frog/Magus do tomorrow (or Chell/GlaDOS, if you prefer). And also where Alucard actually finishes. --- http://i.imgur.com/fe05x.png http://i.imgur.com/stNJf.png |
Speaking of, Alucard just broke 54% there. --- http://i52.tinypic.com/2zfiu09.gif http://i54.tinypic.com/10729w2.gif |
Kotetsu534 | Posted 11/29/2011 1:32:13 AM | message detail | (edited) Sora/Dante is definitely the match I'm most torn on. Normally I'd lean towards "Squintendo > Not-Squintendo" in a match between strong characters, but both Sora and Riku choked matches against beatable opponents last time. Another little point: even if you think Sora/Riku would have gone up 2% against Hitler without the rallying - and remember, Hitler won Europe outright so they benefited big time from a day match - it'd still be worse than what the Bosses got on Hitler in the vote-ins (which is a format that surely favours the anti-vote magnet and disadvantages the easy winner). I'd take Dante/Vergil to beat Chris/Wesker pretty easily. If the match pic gives Dante/Vergil an advantage I think I'm gonna run the upset. Hitler won Europe outright because the rallying affects the results of Europe far more than North America, as Europe gets way less votes than North America. For Sora/Riku, I think they would have done about 2.5% better without the rallying. I've attempted some x-stat calcuations involving Sora/Riku where I set them at 62.50% for the purpose of the calculations. 62.50% sounds ideal for Sora/Riku without the rallying, as they averaged 62.90% from 3:00 PM until the end of the match. I couldn't really get anything useful out of doing some x-stat calculations, so it's still a toss-up for me. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
Yeah, I think all that can really be said about Sora/Dante is that it's gonna be close one way or the other. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
Hmm,
vampires rising more than I thought. It's stabilized for now but it
looks like this might finish close to expectations after all.
Nervousness for Frog/Magus rising again... From: Kotetsu534 | #1606it'd still be worse than what the Bosses got on Hitler in the vote-ins (which is a format that surely favours the anti-vote magnet and disadvantages the easy winner). But The Bosses would be favored over both Sora and Dante's teams and Sora basically tied The Bosses on Hitler, so that doesn't really mean anything bad for Sora, in fact it makes him look very close to the Bosses - although of course that's very unreliable given the possible wonkiness of Adolf. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
This
was looking to be the closest match yet, but it might not be. Still
Phoenix is managing to stall this hour. Alucard's hardly gained 100
votes, and Phoenix has cut 3 times so far. --- KingBartz: Bracket is 47/52 with today's pick being Alucard/Dracula |
Haven't even been looking at this contest lately, looks like I missed 30 good minutes. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´ You and me could write a bad romance. |
So
this will be the first match that the winner has has under 55%?It seems
the lawyers have some strength then.Also everybody knew that the
lawyers would be the weakest 1st seed. --- 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~ |
Team
ALUDRAC can still push above 55%. We'll see how Phoenix holds up during
the second 12 hours. If Alucard makes noticeable day gains, then we'll
know that Phoenix is one of the most night-centric characters we have. --- Yoblazer: http://oi53.tinypic.com/2hd0dh1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
I
would hope the Lawyers are a little bit better than Castlevania during
the day, even if they'd need whatever exposure they got from UMvC3 to do
so. --- "Go get me Jared...from Subway!" -- CM Punk Future 2011 Rivalry Guru Champion! |
Looks like Alucard is making another push to start going up again, after being stalled by Phoenix (percentage-wise) all night. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
'Kay,
I notice that simple "hero/villain" relationships are performing a lot
better than expected in most cases - Crono, Ness, and The Kid are the
notable examples I cite. Speaking of The Kid, how well does Samus's team do against the Trainers if the IWBTG guys are set to be equal to the StarCraft guys in strength? --- Currently Playing - StarCraft: Brood War |
God I hope Dante wins, for many reasons. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png |
Alucard/Dracula making strong pushes after the morning sun has vanquished the horrible night Alucard: "What?!" Good to see this contest makes as much sense as always Well at least this is kinda amusing. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
It seems the vampires will finish above 55%.So the first real close match will be the next one.I believe CT can do it. --- 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~ |
Vampires taking off right now. This might get close to 56% by noon. |
55.84% at the 12 hour mark. Spread's still on! --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
This is all about rooting for the potentials, now. I've got Dante > Sora, Bosses > Samus, and Fighter > Trainers. Let's do this. --- Women come and go, but Metal Gear is forever. And, then there were 9 ... ~ Noble 9 |
Alucard has been averaging 59% since the morning vote ended. Thriving in the sunlight indeed --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
Yup, Phoenix may have worst day vote locked down now that he's lost it to both Magus and Alucard. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
