There was this Round 4 match: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=998 --- Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place Pokemon VGC2012 NW Regional - 16th place |
 |
I
think Alucard/Dracula or Frog/Magus has a non-negligible chance of
doing better than this because there won't be any SFF involved. --- http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif |
From: GrapefruitKing | #399 huh, well Mario got 81.5% on DK in Round 3 of SC2k2 ... that's gonna pretty hard to top --- http://i42.tinypic.com/11jol1t.gif Oracle Challenge ~ Rank: 18th ~Today's prediction: Link / Dorf - 73.01% |
Yeah I've got good money that Alucard does better than Mega Man. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Round
3 of the last Character Battle was pretty bad. Only Sephiroth/Missingno
and Squall/Auron were within 55/45 and we saw several 70%+ showings. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
Also, this was a round 3 match: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2449 --- http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif |
What's the largest win for one NN against another? --- :> |
From: vcharon | #407 1-on-1? Pretty sure it's Link/Sonic from last year. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
Yeah, I thought that might be it. This doesn't bode well for anyone thinking Link could actually lose then. --- :> |
From: vcharon | #409 Once again, making comparisons between this contest and traditional 1-on-1 contests is a bad idea. No way Link puts up this on Mega Man 1-on-1. This is more like the Series Contest than anything, where the top tier "rivalries" just obliterate anything that isn't remotely in their league. --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif |
Biggest Blowouts by Round (excludes 128 entry brackets and 4-ways): Round 1 LoZ vs Adventure - 95.20% Round 2 Mega Man vs Serious Sam - 91.84% Round 3 LoZ vs Metroid (Series) - 84.70% Round 4 Link vs Scorpion - 75.98% Round 5 Link vs Mega Man - 67.61% Round 6 Link vs Mario - 62.53% Too bad that Round 2 record should be pretty much impossible to beat. --- Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place Pokemon VGC2012 NW Regional - 16th place |
I moved up 2 spots on both leaderboards. I wonder if it was the same two doofs who fell off both. --- For your BlAcK TuRtLe. At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza |
I'm
not convinced of that... adding in two villains really will sway this
many people to vote for Link instead? Are they voting for Ganondorf or
anti-voting Wily? Rivalries might matter, but against already strong
characters I don't think it does as much. --- :> |
From: vcharon | #413 So you really think Link beats Mega Man this much worse than he beats Mega Man X, Luigi, or Sonic? --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif |
And
besides, it's not that hard to like Mega Man better than Link but think
Link/Ganondorf is a better "rivalry" than Mega Man/Wily. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
You know, I'm starting to understand why red sox likes Link matches. There's something oddly cathartic about watching him effortlessly demolish everything. --- I wish I could wear skirts and dresses :( -GMUN |
From: The Mana Sword | #416 Well, yeah, this sort of blowout is strangely impressive and it's almost fun to watch him skyrocket against high level competition. That's why Link was so boring in 2010. He couldn't manage anything remotely on this level last year. --- http://i52.tinypic.com/2zfiu09.gif http://i54.tinypic.com/10729w2.gif |
I
don't think Mega Man is weaker than those characters, obviously. I just
think Link might be randomly stronger, or what's left of people who
vote in the contests are a lot more Link/Nintendo biased. --- :> |
I think this format lends itself to bigger blowouts. When we get back to 1-on-1s, this will go away. --- http://img.imgcake.com/nio/26leonpngat.png http://img.imgcake.com/nio/daigohadoupnguj.png |
I just think Link might be randomly stronger It actually wouldn't be all that random for Link to be stronger considering Skyward Sword just came out. --- Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place Pokemon VGC2012 NW Regional - 16th place |
If we go back to 1-on-1s !! Bring back 4-ways imo. --- I wish I could wear skirts and dresses :( -GMUN |
From: The Mana Sword | #421 time to bail --- http://i.imgur.com/CbfFb.jpg |
This
is an unnatural boost regardless of a game release. It's either the
format or the number of voters or some combination. Considering we have
less than half the voters from the games contests... you would have to
assume that would end up playing some sort of role. --- :> |
From: vcharon | #418 It's possible, but I think it's more likely that the strength of games and series are coming into play here, and a tripling (if not a lot worse) is something that the Zelda series would manage on Mega Man. Remember that Ganon is in like half a dozen Zelda games, including some of the most popular (OoT, LttP, TP). He is as encompassing of his series as any other villain barring Bowser. --- Yoblazer: http://oi52.tinypic.com/ad21i1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

4 ways superior. 1v1s are a relic. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
I just looked at the results. xfd this contest good lord --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? [HERO'S PLUNGE] http://img.imgcake.com/finegifdy.gif |
Good show, hero of time. It means just about nothing for the Link/Cloud match though. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
Another awesome showing by the champ! Working towards dat tripling. Too bad there's no arguing about opponents and matches Link is in ... everything is set in stone. ZeldaFAQs is back in action! --- "Ovelia ... SPOILERS IN THE KEYWORDS WOOPS" - Vormav |
Remember when we were shocked back in 2004 when Link doubled Mega Man? lol --- "Go get me Jared...from Subway!" -- CM Punk This line reserved for Rivalry Guru winner. |
So have people been focusing on making some kickass pure-sprite only pics for the Chrono Trigger characters? Because awesome pure sprite pics for Frog/Magus are the only way we're going to get a truly wire-to-wire match in this inhumanly lame contest. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
I've got this in the queue. I figure a little bit of both does both series well. http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/5945/aludracvsctcopy.png --- "Go get me Jared...from Subway!" -- CM Punk This line reserved for Rivalry Guru winner. |
why would you use something for Alucardracula that isn't from SotN? that middle part is thoroughly unrecognizable --- thelefty for analysis crew 2008 imo -tranny I have a third degree burn in flame-o-nomics -Sir Chris |
red sox 777 posted... Good show, hero of time. It means just about nothing for the Link/Cloud match though. 60-40 Link winz Written in stone. --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? [HERO'S PLUNGE] http://img.imgcake.com/finegifdy.gif |
Because SOTN sprites are s***. You wanna see what I had from there? http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/5945/aludracvsctcopy.png --- "Go get me Jared...from Subway!" -- CM Punk This line reserved for Rivalry Guru winner. |
Samus
dropped from 82% prediction percentage to 54%? Ow. The Bosses only had
37% when she had 82% - sounds like Tidus duped a lot of people hard. --- "Ovelia ... SPOILERS IN THE KEYWORDS WOOPS" - Vormav |
This onlu confirms megaman as the weakest n9...again --- http://www.threadbombing.com/data/media/31/f53sle_2.gif brawl 3524 9730 2525 - LALA |
Tidus always gets over-predicted. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
Does b8 have any way to influence who participates in the bonus match? Petition, etc. --- "Ovelia ... SPOILERS IN THE KEYWORDS WOOPS" - Vormav |
Frog
and Magus need pics that are sprite centric. The primary images
shouldn't be artwork, or they will NOT have a truly close match. The sprites need to be the left/right focus. Not in the middle only. This can't be emphasized enough! :) --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Please pic making people, we're dying for a close match. Do not fail us in our hour of most dire need! The black winds have never ceased to howl this whole contest. Pic-makers, do thine very best, as would our brave Crono. Sprite focus is our only hope...do not give up the fight....! --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Link
breaking 74% imminent. By the time this ordeal is finished Link will be
tripling another Noble Niner, albeit in a different format. ALL IS RIGHT WITH THE WROLD. --- "Ovelia ... SPOILERS IN THE KEYWORDS WOOPS" - Vormav |
So who are the perfect battlers favoring for the next match? If you had to choose between an 128-character four-way Female Villains Contest, all matches 24h, or this being the last contest ever, which would you choose? --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy IV (FF2US) http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3445328 |
All matches 24 hours. I mean, are there even 128 Female Villains really out there? Maybe between all of Board 8, we could come up with them, but that's A LOT of fodder. --- "Go get me Jared...from Subway!" -- CM Punk This line reserved for Rivalry Guru winner. |
Not_Wylvane posted... If you had to choose between an 128-character four-way Female Villains Contest, all matches 24h, or this being the last contest ever, which would you choose? A crappy contest is better than no contest at all... the people who say otherwise should stop caring and leave the CS + D topic.... --- Link's is pretty much the video game equivalent of the Jesus story. -- Yoblaser |
Who would be the strongest female villain in such contest, Dark Samus and Sephiroth aside of course. Ultimecia, Glados, Jill Valentine(not sure if she is eligible), Carmen Sandiego, Sarah, The Boss, Shodan, Schala, Alma, Eve. Incredibly weak field, not sure if i can even name 30 notable female villain. |
KATHERINE MARLOWE --- You saved science! Call me numbers. |
Gruntilda in the Final Four of a Contest? OK, maybe I change my mind. Let's see, Pronyma from ToS, Mother from House of the Dead: Overkill, maybe some fighting game characters. Yeah, aside from them and what's already been said, I got nothing. --- "Go get me Jared...from Subway!" -- CM Punk This line reserved for Rivalry Guru winner. |
Link's not getting that triple. Unless the ASV helps him even more than the night vote. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/pjbasis.png |
Mother Brain, Shadow Queen, uh... Bad Girl? at least it'd be unpredictable, I guess >_> --- Surskit .-#Elements of Water#-. |
