Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1037
Also, I guess this means Squall/Seifer could've beaten Crono/Lavos? Squall > Crono in 2012 let's do this --- http://i.minus.com/iH9vIGOBoyTQ2.gif |

Cloud Strife vs. Sephiroth 56.25% Squall Leonhart vs. Seifer Almasy 43.75% TOTAL VOTES: Philippines Well, here's the problem. Cloud's power base, the place that always returns 85% for him against Link, is barely supporting him tonight. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
Gordon Freeman vs. Dr. Breen – 16.87% Zidane Tribal vs. Kuja – 16.77% Ness vs. Giygas – 16.63% Commander Shepard vs. Saren Arterius – 16.47% Amaterasu vs. Orochi – 16.31% Wanna see some of these matches. --- :> |
Cloud
should get a big percentage jump in the Philippines soon. It's still
early in the match and with very few votes in the Philippines. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
are people really giving up on Cloud/Seph because of this match? lol he is not beating Link but this match means nothing --- ... |
Crono should lose to Vincent, Squall and Auron now, but that's just a guess I'm making without any statistical data. --- :> |
Squall is actually more popular relative to Cloud outside of the U.S. so he might not get a ton of help there. At least, that's what Geolocation results in 2008 seemed to indicate. --- http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/8516/whatisdesiresig.gif |
There's some progress. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
abdou posted... are people really giving up on Cloud/Seph because of this match? lol he is not beating Link but this match means nothing I agree, but we're in the minority I'm sure. --- :> |

Gonna give it some time. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
From: abdou | #055 Nah, people gave up on Cloud/Seph long before this contest even began! --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif |
I
basically didn't give up until Link/Alucard - you could sort of explain
away everything else, but not that. It was more Cloud/Seph still having
a shot at redemption and they aren't taking it. |
wow. It's like losing our last 3 perfects on Cloud/Sephiroth 2004, except far far worse. You were close. There was actually only one perfect bracket going into Cloud vs Sephiroth 2k4. The person has Sephiroth winning the tournament so the match did wipe out the last perfect bracket. --- Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place Pokemon VGC2012 NW Regional - 16th place |
Hmm
Leon I forgot if you live in Tennessee or Georgia, but seeing as Squall
is doing much much better in Tennessee right now, I'm going to guess
you live in that state. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
Tennessee is where I'm from originally, but I live in Georgia now. But I'm glad my home state is doin' me proud. --- http://i.minus.com/iH9vIGOBoyTQ2.gif |
Would
anyone complain about the following bracket for the next CB? We have
Link removed to face the winner. Then we have either a 64- or
128-character bracket with the other 8 Noble Niners being the #1 seeds.
They are set up so the quarterfinals are as follows: Mario Crono Samus Sephiroth Mega Man Sonic Snake Cloud (Mega Man and Crono could be switched, I guess.) |
Getting close to 73% |
Europe love Squall --- ... |
From: TheOneAboveAll | #066 Mario/Crono again? --- "nah, it's not my team if I drop pitchers for merely being horrible" -War13104 |
I like the setup someone suggested in the last topic, with Snake/Mario, winner faces Samus, winner faces Cloud --- thelefty for analysis crew 2008 imo -tranny I have a third degree burn in flame-o-nomics -Sir Chris |
This
is actually pretty good for Cloud/Seph considering last CB Sephiroth
was letting Tifa break 40% on him. Their not the favourites, but their
chances haven't changed from this result. --- The Gamer In Me His dark secret is he's really Spark Brushel in disguise. If people knew, he'd be ruined. - Spiral on the black psyche locks |
From: paulg235 | #351 I disagree, they have changed. I would have made them underdogs to Link pretty much no matter what, unless maybe they broke 80% or something - but they needed a higher score than this for their stock to be neutral. Now they may very well end up with a tripling, but still, that just barely matches what Cloud did to Squall 1v1. And Seifer is weak. So this means that Sephiroth isn't added much synergy or "team chemistry" to the team. Whereas we've seen that Link/Ganon outdoes what Link does 1v1. I'd say that's more because the opponents are weaker than Link/Ganon being stronger than Link, but the fact is that Link/Ganon is outdoing the field by more than Link alone. I think Mario vs. Bowser could be the second strongest team. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Mega
Man should most certainly not switch with Crono there, that would be
the worst possible placement for Mega Man. Him and MMX have been thrown
against Mario and Link way too many times the past few contests. Since
2008, Mario is 4-0 on MMX and 1-0 on MM and Link is 1-0 on MMX and 1-0
on MM. It's worse than Snake vs FFVII because at least Snake wins that sometimes and still has a shot at beating Cloud in a fair match at some point. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Ramza Beoulve vs. Delita Hyral – 16.66% Laharl vs. Mid-Boss – 14.90% lol On the plus side, aside from Trainers, and if Mario doesn't get murdered too badly, we might see the Noble Nine all in the top 10. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? |
From: creativename | #072 Well, I said from the get-go that Mario/Bowser > Cloud/Sephiroth was more likely than Cloud/Sephiroth > Link/Ganon, so we end up getting a potentially really awesome match wasted by poor bracket setup. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
Leon,
I think Bacon knew that and avoided it intentionally. The point of this
was to see if Link can lose, period. He doesn't want to risk that by
possibly having Mario take out Clouderoth first. |
Well,
if Mario takes Cloud/Sephiroth out, then they obviously weren't beating
Link/Ganon, so I don't see the point! Either way, we end up with a Link
vs. Mario final. --- http://i.imgur.com/CbfFb.jpg |
There's still a lot less to wonder when Link himself faces Clouderoth. |
From: LeonhartFour | #357 Agreed, good match was wasted. Early part of Trainers vs. FF7 will be fun though. I see a repeat of Sephiroth vs. Missingno. I think the Trainers could lead for a while there. And that first update will be a complete slaughter. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Well, I'd rather be able to get a good match out of it if Cloud/Sephiroth aren't going to give Link a challenge anyway! --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
Mario/Bowser
still have no chance at Cloud/Sephiroth, and win or lose,
Cloud/Sephiroth are closer to Link/Ganon than Mario/Bowser. Cloud's
still good for beating his percentage from last year pretty easily,
probably 48%, maybe 49%, but winning seems difficult right now unless
C/S can do better with the next 23 hours. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
Confirm/Deny: FF7 vs. Trainers will be closer than FF7 vs. Link/Ganon? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
FF7 vs. Trainers will be closer than FF7 vs. Link/Ganon? Deny. Well, it might be closer in the sense that Trainers/FF7 may have a lead change, but as far as the final result, no. Trainers/FF7 may end up looking like CT/FFVII- Trainers holding a lead for an hour and proceeding to get obliterated overnight. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
FF7 vs. Trainers will be closer than FF7 vs. Link/Ganon? Deny. Red/Blue didn't look good enough against Samus/Ridley. I still doubt Link/Ganondorf will win by all that much over Cloud/Sephiroth. --- Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place Pokemon VGC2012 NW Regional - 16th place |
Yesterday's chart: Time | Linkdorf | Aludrac | Votes | Demographic EBV | 78.24% | 21.76% | 726 | (0:00-0:05) PHV | 77.36% | 22.64% | 5030 | (0:00-1:00) FNV | 76.10% | 23.90% | 10476 | (1:00-6:00) BSV | 76.35% | 23.65% | 5716 | (6:00-9:00) DSV | 77.50% | 22.50% | 13244 | (9:00-14:30) ASV | 79.03% | 20.97% | 16577 | (14:30-22:00) SNV | 78.10% | 21.90% | 3045 | (22:00-24:00) Link does a decent bit better during the ASV, but no huge shifts here. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
74% breached --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Cloud
and Seph are making pretty good progress considering the opponent is
Squall. Looks like they'll likely outdo Link's performance on MM after
all, to keep the hope alive. But Link's performance on Alucard is
looking out of reach. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
If
Cloud manages to land in the 75.99 to 77.59 range, it'll mean Link
broke the 9 year old Round 4 blowout record one day before Cloud would
have broken it and pushed it out of reach. --- Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place Pokemon VGC2012 NW Regional - 16th place |
Would
anyone complain about the following bracket for the next CB? We have
Link removed to face the winner. Then we have either a 64- or
128-character bracket with the other 8 Noble Niners being the #1 seeds.
They are set up so the quarterfinals are as follows: Mario Crono Samus Sephiroth Mega Man Sonic Snake Cloud (Mega Man and Crono could be switched, I guess.) I would have Crono / Mega Man / Sonic duke it out, as well as Samus / Mario / Sephiroth / Snake. The only way would be: Mega Man - Crono (2-seed with MM) Sonic Cloud Sora - MissingNo etc. (high seeds, make the division more uncertain - another Heart division) Mario Snake Samus Sephiroth I don't think Crono has a prayer for a 1-seed slot anyways. --- "Ovelia ...

I know there's a 0% chance the second one gets picked since no Seph/Ganon but meh. --- Starcraft is my life, so without it I wouldn't exist. - Artosis |
I
feel like the first one could be improved by making the characters
larger. The full body doesn't need to be visible in the picture, but at
least a closer view of the face would be good here. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
Red
sox..you seriousky expected clouderoth yo get get 77%here??? Cmon.
Ffvii gets anti voted too much. 74% on squall/seifer is pretty damn
good. Also i still have faith in clouderoth. They can beat Link and They WILL beat him --- http://gifsoup.com/view2/3219901/nakedlightning-o.gif |
I
expected Cloud/Seph to beat whatever Link/Ganon got yesterday, yeah.
This is a major SFF match, Cloud's not doing better here with Seph than
he did by himself once. Though, Link/Ganon's result was probably more
surprising- I thought they'd come in a bit under the tripling and they
came in well over it. Must be Skyward Sword I guess. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
I
have to say that every single one of these pics is absolutely horrible.
Out of 11 pics, Cloud/Sephiroth have now had exactly 0 pictures with
original FFVII artwork. That's getting a little annoying, because it's
easily the best art for them. The Squall/Seifer pics are really bad too though, I mean really, the 60-1, 60-6 and 60-7 pics? That's borderline trolling, right? --- Do not pray for easier lives. Pray to be stronger men. - John F. Kennedy |
But
yeah, not giving up. Not after coming this far. Cloud/Seph look like
they're going to beat Link's percentage on MM which is enough to keep
hope alive. --- 2002 Link, 2003 Cloud, 2004 Link, 2005 Link, 2006 Link, 2008 Link, 2010 Link, 2011 Cloud. Link 6, Cloud 2 |
http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/6632/cloudvslinkmatch3.png Needs more Ganondorf and Sephiroth --- I think someone is being way, way too sensitive. Do we have to stop saying "You got owned" in order to not offend black people due to slavery? - wg64Z |
The pokemon thread on this board gives me a little hope. --- "I am riding the Poke-wave, using the metaphorical Surf and hopping on my Blastoise, all the way to Mario vs Bowser." - RPGLord |
Man over 82% support for a character in the final 8?I don't think this ever has happened before. --- 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~ |
We've never had such a weak final 8 entrant in Alucard/Dracula Before either. No doubt Linkadorf look good. But we've had this situation bfore, Cloud last year looked sub par against Samus/Snake and people expected link to 55 Cloud, he got less than 54 and still lost outside US. I think the reason why Links been putting these ridiculous % is the opponents he's been facing are really REALLY bad in europe. MM is invisble in Europe, he's barely a mid carder. Almost lost to Cid Highwind in europe. Seriously I understand what you're saying Red Sox but SFF or no SFF...FFVIII still has a decent fanbase on GF and they aren't going to just vote Cloud/seph, especially the FF8 fans i know they hate how popular FFVII is. FF8 is also a pretty strong game. 4th possibly 3rd strongest behind 7,10 and 6. --- http://gifsoup.com/view2/3219901/nakedlightning-o.gif |
