they're going to humiliate the winner of Samus/Bosses even worse, too --- http://i42.tinypic.com/11jol1t.gif Oracle Challenge ~ Rank: 13th ~Today's prediction: MMX / Zero - 59.97% |

All
right. Here's a scary thought, what if instead of Red vs. Blue, we had
Charizard vs. Blastoise vs. Venusaur in the only three way rivalry. How much ass could they possibly kick? --- "Go get me Jared...from Subway!" -- CM Punk This line reserved for Rivalry Guru winner. |
From: _Regaro_ | #394 It was more of a reference to that update than this result. I'm surprisingly apathetic to this result. Only Big Boss downing Samus tomorrow can make me care about this contest again at this point. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
I sacrifice your own entertainment for my own, Leon! --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
From: PartOfYourWorld | #399 I'm already out of contention though, so go go Pokemon. Gotta bust 'em all. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v712/ExTha/10and14.jpg "I was wrong." - SmartMuffin |
Hey, I don't blame you. I'd do the same! --- http://img.imgcake.com/nio/26leonpngat.png http://img.imgcake.com/nio/daigohadoupnguj.png |
From: FantomXD | #397 Because they're the trainers weapons ! --- http://img.imgcake.com/gaysinspacegifuz.gif |
I'm
assuming Extha has Cloud/Seph winning. If the Trainers beat Mario and
lose to Cloud/Seph in the final, I don't think there will be many
brackets at all with that result. He could conceivably win with a wrong
semifinal pick. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
From: JJH777 | #381 Yes there was, this contest was about rivalries. And after the second match of the contest, when it became obvious that rivalries actually matter here, everyone else should have came over to my side that I was on once the brakcet was released. I can't believe the denial some of you live in. MY GOD. This is the gaming rivalry, nothing is close (maybe Mario Sonic), their whole story arc is rival. That is all they are. They were always going to destroy things. These 2 vs each other is RBY, Red/Ash alone is not, at all. --- From: Regaro_Ukiera | MWC is god-tier |
ZFS posted... Pokemon is one of the most baffling things. I played RBY back in the day quite a bit, but I feel like I totally missed something here. Red vs. Blue what is even special about this. To me it just felt like a JRPG without any real story that just focused on grinding. I was like 22 or 23 first time I played it though so I was already out of the target demographic I guess. --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |
From: LeonhartFour | #403 Not even Cloud > Link? --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png |
Leon I would prepare to be interested just a little longer. BOSSES. --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
Red
suffers in a normal contest situation for many reasons. You can't give a
guy like that a Brawl pic and expect people to 'get' it. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
From: red sox 777 | #408 Nah, I have Link > Mario in the final. I only took Pokemon to the semis. Looks like I might have undershot their strength by quite a bit. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v712/ExTha/10and14.jpg "I was wrong." - SmartMuffin |
If Cloud actually wins this contest, then maybe. But I'm not even really considering that a viable option right now. --- http://i.imgur.com/fe05x.png http://i.imgur.com/stNJf.png |

I'm
still not sure why everyone is so convinced Ryu and Ken are so strong. I
would still take Samus over them without much trouble. Red is killing it here, no doubt. #4 entrant is probably locked up at this point. but let's not lose sight of the fact that Ryu and Ken are sucking it up too. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |

Maybe there are more alts interfering with the -1s and -2s stats since the prediction percentage falls to the mid 70s and fades quickly starting from the -3s. I'm looking forward to seeing the result the first Guru upset has on the leaderboard. 3 people fell off the Top 50.

Woooow wtf. This is beautiful. Smell ya later! --- http://speeddemosarchive.com/MetroidPrime.html#PAL100 |
Serious question. Do we think Mario/Bowser matches this performance? Personally, I'm not sure. ZFS posted... Pokemon is one of the most baffling things. I played RBY back in the day quite a bit, but I feel like I totally missed something here. Red vs. Blue what is even special about this. It really must be Charizard vs. Blastoise proxy voting. That's the only reason I can think of. And to be fair, Charizard vs. Blastoise would legitimately deserve to win the contest! --- "Claire likes to say 'You can be part of the problem, or part of the solution.'

I thought the Fighters looked pretty legit in their first match. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v712/ExTha/10and14.jpg "I was wrong." - SmartMuffin |
And even if Big Boss beats Samus tomorrow, he still gets pasted by Red/Blue next round anyway. Bleh. --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif |
Well, nice work to anyone who took the Trainers>Samus upset; I didn't have the guts to do it myself. Looking at these results though, I dont think Samus has even even a slight shot. |

Red is killing it here, no doubt. #4 entrant is probably locked up at this point. but let's not lose sight of the fact that Ryu and Ken are sucking it up too. Nearly doubling Fox/Wolf isn't a small feat. Could even low noble niners double Fox in a normal contest? --- http://raptr.com/badge/cf898f37d9c30ef120ada6c35e636ad3/fs.png http://myanimelist.net/signature/RyanSaotome.png |

Red is killing it here, no doubt. #4 entrant is probably locked up at this point. but let's not lose sight of the fact that Ryu and Ken are sucking it up too. This is super revisionist history at its best. Just 20 minutes ago, people were talking about how Ryu/Ken beating Samus if they beat Red/Blue was a near-lock and how good Scorp/Sub made fighters look. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
And the Fighters have the whole day vote to live through tomorrow, too. Jesus christ. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v712/ExTha/10and14.jpg "I was wrong." - SmartMuffin |
LeonhartFour posted... And even if Big Boss beats Samus tomorrow, he still gets pasted by Red/Blue next round anyway. Bleh. It's probably for the best that he loses to Samus. --- "When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it." |
Hmm, if Samus makes it through the Bosses, I smell some awesome Charizard vs. Ridley pics being made. --- "Go get me Jared...from Subway!" -- CM Punk This line reserved for Rivalry Guru winner. |
Well I was wrong! Hopefully fighters will do their best to avoid being doubled. --- - |
From: FateStayAlbion | #426 Considering that's what Solid Snake got on him last year, probably not. But this isn't the same format, so it's not all that applicable. --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |
The
fighters have to be legit. Look at what Subby/Scorp just did to X/Zero
and there's no way that the premier fighting game rivalry is weaker than
them. So either Ken/Ryu are legit or X/Zero are straight up trash. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
From: transcience | #418 hahaha no. Wait for next round. Samus is going to get humiliated. She's gonna be begging for this percentage. Actually, she's now probably begging to lose tomorrow. --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/5nw45i.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

Man,
if only the Trainers could've gotten to go through Nathan Drake/Rival
and a couple other of HM's favorites we could've watched his soul get
destroyed completely. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v712/ExTha/10and14.jpg "I was wrong." - SmartMuffin |
I'm
surprised how much the Trainers would beat X/Zero by. I mean, Red got
60/40'd by MMX last year and Zero is not a bad partner at all. I guess
this means rivalry factor can have an astronomical impact on these
matches. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
So, anyone still wanna hope that Samus rSFFs the Trainers here? |
Pokemon Trainer Red vs. Pokemon Trainer Blue – 50.00% Ryu vs. Ken Masters – 35.17% Fox McCloud vs. Wolf O’Donnell – 24.63% Jim Raynor vs. Sarah Kerrigan – 23.08% Luigi vs. Waluigi – 22.04% Cecil Harvey vs. Golbez – 19.71% Yuna vs. Seymour Guado – 19.25% Ratchet vs. Dr. Nefarious – 12.92% Ryu projected to not even break 70% on Red's side, except ~72% on Cecil. These are about as worthless as the first division where it's projected Kirby will struggle to defeat Ike. x-stats are joke in this format. --- "Ovelia ... SPOILERS IN THE KEYWORDS WOOPS" - Vormav |
From: ExThaNemesis | #437 You'd understand how we felt watching you endure Snake/Sephiroth last year then, I suppose! --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |

What a shocker! --- :> |
I've
been talking down Ryu and Ken all contest, dude. smashing Ratchet
doesn't make them superstars. Sub and Scorpion take these guys. they're good, yeah. but not top 5 entrants or anything. --- add the c and back away iphonesience |
From: LeonhartFour | #441 At least he didn't have the contest victory riding on this. None of you will ever know my pain. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v712/ExTha/10and14.jpg "I was wrong." - SmartMuffin |
Red/Blue vs. Yuri Hyuga/Roger Bacon tastes like crushed HM soul --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Where's that guy that always says rivalries don't matter? --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png |
Sub/Scorpion
> Ryu/Ken just feel so incomprehensible to me. It would be like
Sonic > Mario. The inferior rival just can't win. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
Ryu/Ken
WOULD destroy Samus/Ridley. It wouldn't even be close. The Pokemon %
against Samus is going to be ridiculous, maybe the most ridiculous
percentage we've ever seen, considering who's gonna be on the ass end of
it. It might be at Luigi/Waluigi's level. Samus may get a large chunk
of her support from Poke-haters who are sick of this result. --- Yoblazer: http://i44.tinypic.com/5nw45i.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
From: transcience | #444 Nah, I still take Ryu/Ken > Sub/Scorp even after this. Mario/Bowser will paste X/Zero next round --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
