Oh snap, Phoenix with a cut. ASV comeback?!?!? --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |
 |
Hmm
I think Phoenix/Edgeworth are a stronger pair than Raiden/Vamp so this
is a good performance by the vampires, but on the other hand we all know
that Chrono Trigger sucks in daymatches so Frog/Magus should be a lot
stronger in 24 hour matches. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. Black Turtle > Me |
Nah just the lawyers of the world calling a recess at the same time. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Rivalry Rumble: 45/50 Today: Mega Man/Dr. Wily |
Just the lawyers trolling Oracles! --- Sack Up Or Shut Up™ |
Phoenix
is still going 50/50 in Europe and Asia (he's also winning quite
comfortably in Oceania). Ultimate night character indeed. That said, however, he has held up very well during this ASV. --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/5nw45i.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
From: Safer Sephiroth 777 | #1705 Yes, always have faith in Chrono Trigger for pulling close matches out of its ass. In all likelihood the CT match probably will be the first under 55%. From: Zylo the wolf | #1752 Well MGS has a bad day vote too so that might cancel out. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
We
had two MGS/CT matches this year, and MGS outdid it with the ASV both
times, though it wasn't by any significant margin. Still, Chell/GlaDOS
ought to be night oriented as well. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |
red sox 777 | Posted 11/29/2011 1:46:07 PM | message detail Yup, Phoenix may have worst day vote locked down now that he's lost it to both Magus and Alucard. Phoenix easily lost the morning vote to Alucard, although he is losing the ASV to Alucard by a slight amount. Alucard had just slightly under 56% in the US when the morning vote kicked in, and ended up around 59% by the ASV. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
Frog's face photo looks......not identifiable as Frog unless you stare at it for a while. The sprite battle is awesome though. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
If
you've played the PS1 or DS port, it's pretty easy to identify. But
either way, CT sprites of the battle with Magus from the game is about
as good of a picture as they can hope for here. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
Both teams ended up with good pictures. Should be a nice match. --- "When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it." |
Would be amazing with just the sprites, but good picture anyway. --- Black Turtle and Zelda always win! |
So, having forgotten the first round percentages, who's the favorite here? --- SubDeity wants to vote for Calvin Coolidge. [Evil Republican] Play Der Langrisser. |
Frog/Magus are still the favorites, from the general impressions on the board. --- http://img.imgcake.com/nio/26leonpngat.png http://img.imgcake.com/nio/daigohadoupnguj.png |
It's
not that the picture it was taken from is unidentifiable, it's that it
looks like a green blob with one eye in it, because the other side of
the face was cut off. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
*shrugs* Looks like a frog to me. --- http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif |
I thought it was a picture in profile at first, which was really weird. --- Black Turtle and Zelda always win! |
Hey, my Portal pic made it, and CT has sprites as well. Not bad. --- "Go get me Jared...from Subway!" -- CM Punk Future 2011 Battle Challenge Champion! |
It's a good-looking pic for both sides. Frog's half-face is a little off-putting, but it still works. --- http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg Nominate E P O N A. |
I love that Frog/Magus pic --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? |
Yeah
I think that pic would be a lot better without the face cutaways.
Sometimes less is more. The pic is kinda cluttered and the face
cutaways are kinda ugly. Still a solid pic though. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
From: red sox 777 | #1760 Agreed. The sprite pic in the middle is absolutely epic and perfect, but it doesn't stand out enough. And Frog's face looks like a green blob. So I have mixed feelings on this pic. In the end I'd say it's a neutral pic for both sides. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
The
picture does make me feel better about Frog/Magus winning tomorrow
(it's amazing!). If pics are even significant, they'll need a more
sprite-centered pick to have a shot against Alucardracula next round. I gotta believe Phoenix's team is stronger than Raiden/Vamp.... if not, Shepard and his rival make one WEAK pairing! Speaking of Alucard/Dracula's day vote, I wager that Dracula is causing a drastic improvement to Alucard in that. (if nobody said this already) --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. So...what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
Next round is supposed to be freeform, so you could expect just about anything for Team CT. --- "Go get me Jared...from Subway!" -- CM Punk Future 2011 Battle Challenge Champion! |
Match XLIV: (3) Chell/GlaDOS vs. (2) Frog/Magus Previous Round Chell/GlaDOS – 59.07% Ness/Giygas – 40.93% Frog/Magus – 56.13% Raiden/Vamp – 43.87% Analysis I wasn’t overly impressed with either performance last round, but to me that plays out better for Frog and Magus since Chell and GlaDOS needed to impress for me to believe that they would have a chance in this match. While this match won’t be a blowout at the same time I don’t see Frog and Magus losing this match. Unsurprisingly free Portal and the release of Portal 2 gave GlaDOS a nice boost in strength where she and Chell were able to defeat Ness and Giygas without too much of an issue. However Frog and Magus would have no problems defeating Ness by themselves, heck Raiden would have easily taken out Ness and I would probably take Vamp over Giygas. GlaDOS and Chell had a long way to go to match Frog and Magus and last round didn’t show that they were capable of doing that. Frog and Magus may not have looked that good against Raiden and Vamp, but I feel that it was good enough to show that they have some strength, though they are going to have to pull something special if they want to win the division next round. charmander6000’s Bracket: Frog/Magus > Chell/GlaDOS charmander6000’s Prediction: Frog/Magus wins, 55.27% - 44.73% --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Rivalry Rumble: 45/50 Today: Mega Man/Dr. Wily |
If pics are even significant, they'll need a more sprite-centered pick to have a shot against Alucardracula next round. Maybe the ***Do we even need to mark CT Spoilers at this point?*** Frog v Magus 1v1 battle in 12000 BC? ***End Spoilers*** I think it might be the strongest possible picture they could get, though the sprite part of this one isn't that far behind. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Raiden
would beat Phoenix pretty easily, so I dunno that Phoenix/Edgeworth is
stronger than Raiden/Vamp. Looks to be a good match either way next
round. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
Yeah,
that's the thing I don't get. We still need to mark FFVII spoilers,
but we haven't had to mark OOT spoilers for years and years. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
From: red sox 777 | #378 I really doubt that. I wouldn't pick Raiden to beat Jecht. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
I would take Raiden over Phoenix too, but I'd also still take Freeman over Phoenix despite what happen last round. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Rivalry Rumble: 45/50 Today: Mega Man/Dr. Wily |
there's a big difference between spoilers for a story-heavy game like FFVII and a more gameplay-oriented game like OoT --- thelefty for analysis crew 2008 imo -tranny I have a third degree burn in flame-o-nomics -Sir Chris |
OoT3DS spoiled the Link/Ganondorf boss fight in the commercial! --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster] |
I
don't know for sure, but I think the N64 OOT commercial spoiled that
fight too. But I was more referring to the spoilers that continually
eludes some Smash players. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
Uhhhh, which one is that? That Zelda and Sheik are the same person? --- "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!" |
Yup! I'm continually amazed there are people who play SSBM and are not aware of this. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
oh god OoT has been ruined for me forever now thanks Leon --- thelefty for analysis crew 2008 imo -tranny I have a third degree burn in flame-o-nomics -Sir Chris |
When
I first played through OoT in 1998, that swerve surprised the hell
outta me. I'm guessing I'm in a minority there, because few people ever
seem to give that swerve/scene any credit. --- Yoblazer: http://oi53.tinypic.com/2hd0dh1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Somebody spoiled that for me, or else I would have been surprised! --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
Hmm....Frog's Theme or Battle with Magus? --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
I am among the few that played OoT after Melee, so no comment. --- "Go get me Jared...from Subway!" -- CM Punk Future 2011 Battle Challenge Champion! |
Corridors of Time duh --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/ml36gl_th.gif Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5NJ4Wf2guo The part where Portal kills our brackets and battle predictions. --- "Go get me Jared...from Subway!" -- CM Punk Future 2011 Battle Challenge Champion! |
Corridors of Time is so good. Let's do this, CT. Crush 'em. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
From: red sox 777 | #391 Hmm....Frog's Theme or Battle with Magus? Battle with Magus, definitely. Frog's Theme is the emergency failsafe used in a close match towards the end. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
From: greatone10 | #1855 This makes me like their chances better...if they can get a pure sprite pic - no artwork whatsoever, just sprites - they'd be stronger than normal IMO. From: PartOfYourWorld | #1909 Actually I was reading a game magazine which was talking about OoT, and it had a picture of Sheik captioned "Who is this mysterious figure?" or something like that. And my immediate reaction was "Zelda". I mean you figure it's someone important, and the series only really has three important characters! :) And it surely wasn't Link or Ganon. So by the time I played the game, it was clear. However that in no way reduces the awesomeness of the game itself. As stated above, it's not a story oriented game - it's a boss-fight oriented game. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
