Janus5000 posted... Oh wow, this is actually kinda close. I kinda had a feeling X/Zero would look bad here but forgot to lower my oracle, oops. Not sure how much of this is Sub/Scorp being strong and how much is just X/Zero not being that great. I can't put much stock into beating up Black Shadow and FFV, and honestly I don't see DK.Rool being that great. X/Zero probably do respectably on Mariowser next round, but I don't think this is necessarily a good sign for the fighters tomorrow, especially if you're like me and would take the trainers over X/Zero. Man, I STILL have no idea why people are so confident in the Trainers. We have seen literally NOTHING to imply they would beat X/Zero. Does anyone seriously take Luigi/Waluigi over Bartz/Gilgamesh or Captain Falcon? --- Game of the Decade? More like Guru of the Decade mirite? |
I would, though Luigi/Waluigi was SFF so it doesn't change much. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Rivalry Rumble: 61/68 Today: Mega Man X/Zero |
From: Wii_TuRtLe | #052 If you want to take Bartz/Gilgamesh over Cecil/Golbez, go ahead. But people getting confident in the Trainers over Luigi/Waluigi are confident for the wrong reason, I think. It's an obvious SFF match, and I doubt Cecil/Golbez is a very strong rivalry. I think Yuna/Seymour could probably match them. --- http://i.minus.com/iH9vIGOBoyTQ2.gif |
I'd take Gilgamesh over Link. --- I wish I could wear skirts and dresses :( -GMUN |
Let
me rephrase that, does anyone take the SFF'd Luigi/Waluigi over them? I
don't think there's too much difference between Bartz/Gilgy and
Cecil/Golbez, and I would think that Ryu/Ken are pretty close to X/Zero
(at the very least matching Subby/Scorp. --- Game of the Decade? More like Guru of the Decade mirite? |
I think a better comparison would be would Ratchet/Dr. Nefarious break 39.80% on Kerrigan/Raynor? --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Rivalry Rumble: 61/68 Today: Mega Man X/Zero |
Nah, fodder/fodder comparisons are not good comparisons, usually. --- http://i.minus.com/iH9vIGOBoyTQ2.gif |
Well
I said last night that if the Ninjas finish over 47% here, the Fighters
should be the favorites... and it'll look like they'll do just that.
Hard to see the Fighters not being able to win if the Ninjas can do this
to X. --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
Dreams are going to be shattered tonight. --- :> |
Speaking of, 47% breached. --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |
Anyone
who takes Bartz/Gilgamesh to not get crushed by every FF duo in this
contest is either insane or Kleenex. They failed to double Guybrush in a
day match then finished less than 3% better than F-Zero. I'd struggle
to take them over Lightning/Whoever That Other Person was, and I'd take
Balthier/Dr. Cid over them without a second thought. And on the fodder comparison, Ada Wong vs. Frog, who do you take? If you took Frog, you better have taken Dante to stomp Ryu after the first round last character battle! (This is partially based on 4-ways, but still serves as proof as to why fodder comparisons are awful) --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |
Trainers will probably get 53-54% on Ryu/Ken a lot will be disappointed lol |
Man,
I STILL have no idea why people are so confident in the Trainers. We
have seen literally NOTHING to imply they would beat X/Zero. Does anyone
seriously take Luigi/Waluigi over Bartz/Gilgamesh or Captain Falcon? http://thengamer.com/stats/1001-1050/1022/Stats%20and%20Discussion%20Pt1022%20Pg8.htm I got the wrong post number last time. See post 385. Just 2 weeks ago you thought Red/Blue were on the level of X/Zero. Why are you so opposed to the idea now? --- Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place Pokemon VGC2012 NW Regional - 16th place |
From: WarThaNemesis2 | #062 More like Balthier vs. Axel who do you take --- http://i.imgur.com/CbfFb.jpg |

If you took Frog, you better have taken Dante to stomp Ryu after the first round last character battle! More like Balthier vs. Axel who do you take Balthier/Axel promotes the 'well they're probably close' argument. Ada smacked Balthier around while Frog miracled his ass past Axel, so if you take Frog you're 'wrong' beyond X-Stat Redemption! --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |
Where some characters exist to have great matches, some exist to choke, Axel exists to make statheads cry. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |
When Axel cries "BURN BABY" he is referring to your bracket --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonpngpe.png http://img.imgcake.com/squalloweenpngem.png |
No if he was burning your bracket he'd win something. He burns your battle challenge and Oracle. And at this point, what I expect is we'll know the outcome of Trainers/Fighters very quickly. Either Ryu/Ken will be pulling away/close real quick, or Red/Blue will get a big enough early lead that Ryu/Ken won't have enough time to do anything significant before the morning vote kills them. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |
5 straight cuts for the Ninjas Excellent Never you mind that those 5 cuts total 28 votes, never you mind --- http://i52.tinypic.com/2zfiu09.gif http://i54.tinypic.com/10729w2.gif |
In a just world Subz/Scorp would be winning! --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |
X/Zero was very overrated by people on this board. --- http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/5716/linkpron.gif |
The_Djoker posted... X/Zero was very overrated by people on this board. Are they? Both characters are strong and have a well known rivalry. Theres only so weak they can be. --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
It
may have been, but this is still a pretty impressive performance for
the MK Ninjas nonetheless. They've put up some numbers together that
they wouldn't have put up individually. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
There's the sixth straight cut, yessssssss --- http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/8516/whatisdesiresig.gif |
Trainers are going to start with a massive lead, Ryu/Ken could have 45% at the freeze and still win. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Rivalry Rumble: 61/68 Today: Mega Man X/Zero |
What the percentage is at the end of the first hour will tell us more than what the percentage is after five minutes. --- http://i52.tinypic.com/2zfiu09.gif http://i54.tinypic.com/10729w2.gif |
Red
had 54.63% at the freeze against Ocelot and 52.36% at the one hour
mark. Those seem like decent marks for the Trainers to reach for. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |
Someone
tell me honestly: Why is there so much more hype for the Trainers now
then pre contest? I know a lot of people liked them to win then, but
Fighters were still favorites... now it seems like nobody gives the
Fighters a chance. Is tripling a Starcraft duo and beating the worst
anchor in the contest in a SFF match really that impressive? Does the
Starcraft duo even beat Ratchets duo? I'm not sure. --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
Because they shocked the crap out of everyone against Luigi/Waluigi far beyond expectation. Though that match says about as much about Waluigi as it does about the Trainers. --- http://i.imgur.com/fe05x.png http://i.imgur.com/stNJf.png |
Doubling?
They tripled the Starcraft duo with room to spare. And honestly, if
Ratchet lost whatever boost he pulled off last contest, Kerrigan/Raynor
probably crush the Ratchet pair. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |
From: WarThaNemesis2 | #082 Why are we taking Kerrigan to crush anything and why would Ratchet lose that boost That boost probably comes from the PS3 games being more popular on this site than the PS2 ones --- http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif |
Wouldn't have expected Ninjas to make it this close. DK must really have risen, or K. Rool is actually pretty decent. I seem to remember Ridley and K. Rool being among the top of characters people wanted that didn't make it in Brawl. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png |
8 straight cuts for the Ninjas, by the way. They might actually win this hour! --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |
In
terms of this topic trainers are the loud minority and should we
actually poll everyone in here I think more people think Ryu and Ken are
going to win. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Rivalry Rumble: 61/68 Today: Mega Man X/Zero |
I don't think anyone excepted this close match.Less than 53% from X?Seems Mortal Kombat 9 boosted the Ninjas a lot. --- 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~ |
WarThaNemesis2 posted... Doubling? They tripled the Starcraft duo with room to spare. And honestly, if Ratchet lost whatever boost he pulled off last contest, Kerrigan/Raynor probably crush the Ratchet pair. Oh my bad, I typoed. But this first round was nothing but blowouts. Why didn't people go crazy and start calling Terra/Kefka out to be elites when they did better on Vyse? I'd take Vyse to beat Kerrigan, or at least make it close! The first round match doesn't really help their case at all, leaving a SFF match which is really unreliable in determining strength. Honestly nothing they've shown me makes me think the Fighters are in major trouble. --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
A
quick look at the Oracle seems to indicate that the Trainers are slight
favorites, but a lot of people who are picking the Trainers are picking
them to win big. People picking Ryu/Ken are expecting a close match. --- http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2369/mythbattlers.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |
Darn, the cut streak was snapped. They can still win the hour though! --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |

People were expecting Red to do big things last time? I glanced over his name on the bracket and never looked back. --- Black: 3310-7431-2094 |
A few people took Red to round three, but most people had him either losing to Ocelot or losing to MMX. --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonpngpe.png http://img.imgcake.com/squalloweenpngem.png |

I
honestly don't know why Ratchet would lose the boost, OLD FACTOR maybe?
Enough characters from actually popular recent games on this site have
disappointed that Ratchet/Nefarious could have fallen that much harder.
Kratos, Leon, Tidus/Jecht, Shepard all have looked real real bad, the
latter two even worse than their first rounds implied. I mean, in no way
should we come close to assuming Trainers crush Ryu/Ken because
Starcraft duo > Ratchet duo, but well, once again, comparing
performances on obvious trash is real real bad. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |
LeonhartFour posted... Because they shocked the crap out of everyone against Luigi/Waluigi far beyond expectation. Though that match says about as much about Waluigi as it does about the Trainers. You know who else shocked everyone far beyond expectation (except for me who got the Oracle point for it)? Mega Man vs. Ryu Hayabusa. He won so badly that people were honestly taking him over Mario the next round. He ended up getting his ass kicked. People on the board tend to put too much faith in overperformances, and I think the pre-contest expectations are a better judgement in this case, given how unreliable those results are. --- Game of the Decade? More like Guru of the Decade mirite? |
Wasn't
that just KP, and then everyone yelled at him that Mega Man was going
to get 60-40'd, then KP got mad everyone wasn't hyping a dumb upset? --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |
I
know it's not always the best indication of strength, but a good bit of
my confidence in the trainers comes from the fact that they've been
huge vote draws. And if the trainers can SFF Luigi to that extent, that
probably means the Nintendo faithful really likes them, at the least. --- Fight like dragons, have no fear, swords are made of STEEEEEEEEL~ |
There were actually 29 people in the Guru who took Red > MMX! --- http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/8718/leonflowchart.png |
For
Fighters/Trainers I believe the winner will have less then 53%.Or at
least less than 55%.Now for whom wins...If Trainers have
Charizard/Blastoise then them,otherwise Fighters. --- 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~ |
