FateStayAlbion posted... If this continues like it is, I feel pretty confident in the Fighters winning tomorrow I'd take Trainers > X/Zero I'd take Ninjas > Fighters ...Problem? --- "I am riding the Poke-wave, using the metaphorical Surf and hopping on my Blastoise, all the way to Mario vs Bowser." - RPGLord |

Ryu/Ken is the Guru favorite. --- http://i52.tinypic.com/2zfiu09.gif http://i54.tinypic.com/10729w2.gif |
From: jacko_vdz | #301 Yeah, this is a bit of a problem. --- http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/8718/leonflowchart.png |
Red/Blue kill Mega Man, I think. Ryu would be losing here as well by about the same margin I imagine. --- :> |
From: jacko_vdz | #301 http://h3.abload.de/img/nickcagecrazylaughi5fhx.gif --- I worship Utli's wang - LtM |
From: vcharon | #304 I disagree strongly on both statements. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
I probably have too much respect for X/Zero, it's true. Just thought they'd get a big rivalry boost! --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
From: IngmarBirdman | #299 Subz/Scorpion is a lot more iconic. MMX/Zero is awesome; I'm not disparaging them, but ninjas might be one of the three most iconic and recognizable rivalries ever (given that Wily and Robotnik make their rivalries a lot lamer). --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/5nw45i.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Red and Blue win pretty handily tomorrow. By a bigger margin than what this match will end at --- http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn97/Grimno/GG-1.jpg http://www.yourgamercards.net/trophy/a/CaptainRockman.png |
Kotetsu534 posted... Can't be the only person who's had the thought "If this was Ryu/Ken, they'd be winning here, or at least going 50/50. Do Red/Blue > X/Zero?" I like the way this guy thinks. As for the Guru picks, Ryu/Ken - 128 (58.18%) Red/Blue - 82 (37.27%) Luigi/Waluigi - 7 (3.18%) Fox/Wolf - 2 (0.91%) Raynor/Kerrigan - 1 (0.45%) --- thengamer.com/guru thengamer.com/xstats board8.wikia.com I'd search B8 for The Show if I were you. *wink wink* |
Fighters got this on lockdown --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
Subz/Scorpion
is a lot more iconic. MMX/Zero is awesome; I'm not disparaging them,
but ninjas might be one of the three most iconic and recognizable
rivalries ever. Ah. I thought they were equally well-regarded. Otherwise I would have stuck with 58% (given that Wily and Robotnik make their rivalries a lot lamer) Link going to be responsible for the first NN'er tripling another NN'er, albeit with a wonky format? --- "Ovelia ... SPOILERS IN THE KEYWORDS WOOPS" - Vormav |
From: SHINE GET 64 | #309 I wouldn't be surprised. If they do win tomorrow, by any margin, I'll consider them the #4 team in the bracket. I don't think they'd have any problem with teams hampered by Robotnik/Wily, and I'd take them over X/Zero and the Snakes. --- Yoblazer: http://8board.webs.com/ariel.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Well, I feel X/Zero > Red/Blue, and Fighters > Ninjas I don't think this match does anything to hurt my confidence, especially since it'll likely finish closer then its at now. --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
Fighters
didn't impress me against Fox; I really don't buy they are a whole lot
stronger than MK here. Pokemon has looked too strong and the series has
already shown it has a lot of momentum power. Virtually a 99% lock to
win and win big, in my opinion. Capcom has also had some negative press recently. I know that's pretty meaningless, but still. Seems to hamper Blizzard characters, one would think maybe eventually the same thing happens to Capcom entries. --- :> |
Ryu/Ken still got this tomorrow. Should be a close match, though. --- "When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it." |
Next. |
I'd take Red/Blue over X/Zero pretty easily --- thelefty for analysis crew 2008 imo -tranny I have a third degree burn in flame-o-nomics -Sir Chris |
From: vcharon | #315 Street Fighter has always been more well liked and well respected than Mortal Kombat. I don't buy Ryu/Ken and Sub/Scorp being virtual equals here. --- http://i.minus.com/iH9vIGOBoyTQ2.gif |
Also, yeah, Ryu would rock Sub. No doubt in my mind. --- "When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it." |
TheKoolAidShoto posted... From: jacko_vdz | #301 I'd take Ninjas > Fighters http://h3.abload.de/img/nickcagecrazylaughi5fhx.gif http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2010/8/17/133327d6-54ca-44c9-8f27-763e42775a29.jpg Seriously but, failing to double Fox/Wolf is less impressive then what Ninja's are doing here. Maybe i'm overestimating X/Zero though. *puts on Ash hat* Red/Blue are still 60/40ing fighters. --- "I am riding the Poke-wave, using the metaphorical Surf and hopping on my Blastoise, all the way to Mario vs Bowser." - RPGLord |
:looks at the pace of the lead: Oh, come on, at least make it close... sigh. |
Ken
would lose to either one on one, and I think their rivalry is more
iconic than Street Fighter's. Just my opinion, maybe doesn't work on
Gamefaqs but I think the results so far haven't proven it that. --- :> |
From: jacko_vdz | #321 Failing to double DK/K. Rool is less impressive than failing to double Fox/Wolf --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif |
Ken would have a legit shot at beating Scorpion. Scorps has never been much more than a low midcarder. Sub-Zero beats Ken, yeah. Ryu smokes all of them though. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
Given
how iconic stuff has done well for itself (See Robotnik actually
HELPING Sonic against Kirby), I could see DK/K. Rool threatening or even
beating Fox/Wolf. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |
Fox/Wolf is a lot more iconic than DK/K.Rool. I think you're confusing iconic with OLD. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Eh, maybe. I doubt it though. I think 72.5% on Yuna/Seymour is probably more impressive than 73% on Leon/Ada, too. I'm sure a lot of people also think that's a push, but that looks better to me. --- http://i.minus.com/iH9vIGOBoyTQ2.gif |
Indeed! Thank you for correcting me Lopen! As the Originator Of Old, I am ashamed to have forgotten! --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |

Rool is less impressive than failing to double Fox/Wolf Ah touche, forgot about that match... I don't know if I would take DK/Rool > Space Animals. By any means, I still think Ninjas would go toe to toe with Fighters in this format. --- "I am riding the Poke-wave, using the metaphorical Surf and hopping on my Blastoise, all the way to Mario vs Bowser." - RPGLord |
From: WarThaNemesis2 | #326 I passingly assumed Fox/Wolf had an automatic step or two on DK in this contest, but you raise an interesting point. I do think DKC would take any Star Fox game, even 64. Fox is also much more of a "Smash" guy than DK, and he might not get as much benefit from that in this, a contest that kinda encourages people to think about an entrant's "actual" games. The down side in this theory is that it makes Jill look even worse, as she lost to two glorified Smash bastards hiiiiiiii --- Yoblazer: http://oi53.tinypic.com/2hd0dh1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
I
think Ken is a clear second fiddle to Ryu where Sub-Zero and Scorpion
are more of dual faces for the series. Scorpion is even intended to be
the more popular one (though he is not here or in the MK fandom).
Scorpion has a list of accomplishments as well and decent performances. Ken's best performance is a narrow victory over someone who is probably the third or fourth strongest character from Resident Evil. I don't think Ken/Scorpion is a match. --- :> |
From: th3l3fty | #318 lol I guess you're forgetting that X already derailed that hype train. And Zero adds WAY more than blue does. I can't wait until Ryu/Ken finally put this trainer talk to rest. The best thing I can hope for in this contest is that the guru cookie goes perfect, because it's already too far gone to save, so we might as well stroke our collective e-peen. --- Game of the decade?

Rool takes Fox/Wolf. That's damn impressive by DKC, and I don't care about badly you think Mario Kart SFFs Star Fox, losing to Breath of Goddamn Fire and almost losing to Star Ocean while Chrono Trigger is in the poll is god awful. Edit: This is after factoring in that DK/K. Rool is actually worth a damn. I'd have taken Fox/Wolf over Dk/K. Rool easily pre-contest, but well, performances have changed that. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |
Red/Blue is a completely different entity from just Red Red is a character, Red vs. Blue is basically Pokemon RBY in its entirety --- thelefty for analysis crew 2008 imo -tranny I have a third degree burn in flame-o-nomics -Sir Chris |
From: PartOfYourWorld | #331 Neither series is very popular here, so that wouldn't necessarily be an accomplishment. But I'll take Yuna/Seymour > Ezio/Borgia, so... --- http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2369/mythbattlers.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |
yes, more updates like this, X/Zero --- http://i42.tinypic.com/11jol1t.gif Oracle Challenge ~ Rank: 13th ~Today's prediction: MMX / Zero - 59.97% |
Except
as we've said time and time again, noone gives a crap about the
Trainers. You can have a ridiculously strong game, and have all the
characters be garbage. See FF6 until Dissidia came out. R/B/Y is popular
because catching all the Pokemon was such an interesting concept, not
because of the rivalry between Red/Blue. While I do agree that Red/Blue
together are stronger than the sum of their parts, the sum of their
parts isn't much to begin with. People are hyping them up because they
SFF'd a character from the same company that was saddled with the
weakest character in the contest? X/Zero and Ryu/Ken have been far more
impressive against actual competition. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? |
http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3851 One Pokemon, against Mario. Once the series gets rolling it is hard to take down. Charizard is a SINGLE Pokemon; it was clear however he was representing the entire game, much like Red/Blue are doing here. Unless you think Ryu can get 46.5% on Mario, of course. --- :> |
What the hell were they supposed to do against luigi/waluigi to make them more impressive? |
From: vcharon | #339 I'm not entirely sure why he has to. --- http://i52.tinypic.com/2zfiu09.gif http://i54.tinypic.com/10729w2.gif |
Yep, panic averted. Back to picking Trainers with (slightly less) confidence. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
If Ryu made a random ass run I bet he could get 46.5 on Mario. Unfortunately that'd never happen. Well except maybe in this contest. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Nah, same run by the same unit. Pokemon running into Mario and going down in a similar fashion. --- :> |
From: vcharon | #339 Ya, one Pokemon. Charizard upset Bowser in one of the biggest upsets ever, of course he was going to boost the next round. We see it all the time when an underdog advances farther than they should. Red/Blue haven't beaten anything of note yet. And if they somehow get past the fighters, there's no way they beat Samus, so it's a moot point. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? |
Tomorrow's match can't come fast enough. --- "I am riding the Poke-wave, using the metaphorical Surf and hopping on my Blastoise, all the way to Mario vs Bowser." - RPGLord |
you better believe tomorrow's match pics will have multiple Pokemon in them! --- thelefty for analysis crew 2008 imo -tranny I have a third degree burn in flame-o-nomics -Sir Chris |
From: CP724 | #340 There's nothing they could have done that day to impress me. That's how little I think of that team, especially on the receiving end of SFF. Had it been 80% against any other team I may have been impressed. I still can't believe people had the uigi's winning that match. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? |
Did
you miss the Pokemon being inserted into the images for Red/Blue, BT?
They're going to continue being there I bet. This is better than one Pokemon, it is effectively the entire series. --- :> |
From: th3l3fty | #347 And if they do then it's not much of a fair match, and people should complain as match pic rules always stated it had to be the characters involved in the poll only. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? |
