Mario really looking like quite a beast here if this holds. --- Oops! I'm breaking the fourth wall! http://imgon.net/di-CFMD.gif |

I love this. Seriously I like FF7 as much as the next guy, but this is hilarious. --- `·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.~*ST*~.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.· I am one yet many. |
Yeah
how the heck is the Ryu/Ken rivalry so strong even though Street
Fighter games and all Street Fighter characters aside from Ryu are low
midcarders at absolute best? We'd take Ridley over Ken, right? --- Currently Playing - StarCraft: Brood War |
...They just keep going up. How. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |

Ryu/Ken is a well known video game rivalry. It's normal and was expected from them to be strong. --- Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place Pokemon VGC2012 NW Regional - 16th place |
Totally saw this coming to be honest. --- you just can't live in that negative way...make way for the positive day |
From: LinkMarioSamus | #103 Rivalries, to some extent, matter. --- Official ~Trendsetter~ of Board 8 |
Wow Trainers keep going up. |
60% lets do this! --- "I am riding the Poke-wave, using the metaphorical Surf and hopping on my Blastoise, all the way to Mario vs Bowser." - RPGLord |
Trainers looking good. I also have a hard time seeing this as a bandwagon considering that they just lost and not many people outside of this board were expecting a 3rd place match. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Rivalry Rumble: 117/160 Today: Cloud/Sephiroth |
Ryu/Ken even match with Cloud/Seph lol --- Starcraft is my life, so without it I wouldn't exist. - Artosis |
Sounds good to me! --- "When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it." |
...yeah, unless we have trends like Cloud/Captain Falcon or something, this is over. --- Fight like dragons, have no fear, swords are made of STEEEEEEEEL~ |
I
think we at least have to let this hour play out to get an idea of what
might happen. Trainers have consistently lost big chunks of percentage
after the initial few hours. --- Inter-planetary-mega-stellar-hydro-static. There's no gravity between us. Our love is automatic. |
It feels so good to be right for once. It's also quite refreshing as a huge Mario fan to see Mario finally be vindicated, even if only indirectly. Mario usually has a bad break in these contests, only really shining against Cloud in 2002 and a rather easy 2005 win where he then got smacked down by Sephiroth. Still, being #4 on the site was nothing to sneeze at, and he smacked down plenty of characters like a champ, but still, it's just so nice to see him actually be able to compete with Link in, well, anything for once. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy IV (FF2US) http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3445328 |
From: Janus5000 | #115 Still want to see what happens overnight though, so we can see what it means for Mario/Link if anything --- http://img.imgcake.com/RegaroUlquiorrapngse.png |
...yeah, unless we have trends like Cloud/Captain Falcon or something, this is over. It's entirely possible we get trends even more extreme than that. --- Pokemon VGC2011 US Nationals - 54th place Pokemon VGC2012 NW Regional - 16th place |
Clearly Link has been rSFFing Mario the whole time, who has been rSFFing Samus the whole time. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |
From: PartOfYourWorld | #098 #6? You mean, right below Mario and Trainers but everyone else in his half below them? 63.22% --- http://i.minus.com/iH9vIGOBoyTQ2.gif |
This
is over. Trainers should at least hold the mid-50s by the end of the
Power Hour, and no collapse could cause them to lose that. No matter how
much Cloud and Seph work at night, the Trainers will come during the
day if it's close. I guess we spend the next wondering if Link is as beastly as we thought, or if single-game rivalries (not named Red/Blue) are just disadvantaged. --- Yoblazer: http://8board.webs.com/ariel.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Team Rocket Elite posted... Ryu/Ken is a well known video game rivalry. It's normal and was expected from them to be strong. I also just remembered that Street Fighter the series is actually pretty strong. And as Ryu and Ken are, to my knowledge, the "original two", such a rivalry apparently encapsulates the whole SF series. Okay, I'm sold. --- Currently Playing - StarCraft: Brood War |
The famous Cloud/Sephiroth reverse bandwagon of 2011, that's what it'll be called. --- When you've got a pretty-boy monkey on your back constantly calling you a puppet, you hardly want to seem like you're happy to be used. - DSakaCharanJ |
From: _Regaro_ | #118 Exactly. Even if it's over, it's still going to be interesting to see how the percentages play out. --- Will not remove this line of my signature until the Seahawks, Jazz or Rockies win a title (Started 5-16-09) This line reserved for the Guru winner (TBD) |
So, you know really looks like crap about now? The Snakes. --- "Go get me Jared...from Subway!" -- CM Punk This line reserved for Rivalry Guru winner. |
Bosses > Snakes I think everyone can live with this. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png http://i.imgur.com/597oi.png |
NONE of the perfect battle brackets went with cloud/seph or banked --- Luster Reloaded: Damn, that's some crazy s***. |
This is incredible This makes this contest kinda worth it I'm legitimately excited to see Mario / Link now!! --- The return of...Me_Pie_Three |
The trainers went up by more than a tenth of a percent. No sign of collapse yet! --- Currently Playing - StarCraft: Brood War |
the fall begins...! --- thelefty for analysis crew 2008 imo -tranny I have a third degree burn in flame-o-nomics -Sir Chris |
percent drop alert --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Rivalry Rumble: 117/160 Today: Cloud/Sephiroth |
Pathetic results. --- LM |
Huh I thought they went up from 59.71% to 59.83%. --- Currently Playing - StarCraft: Brood War |
So now they slow down the Trainers Next update they stall them completely Next update Cloud/Seph start winning updates --- http://i42.tinypic.com/11jol1t.gif Oracle Challenge ~ Rank: 8th ~Today's prediction: Cloud / Seph - 51.18% |
From: XIII_rocks | #128 battle stats aren't even updated yet! --- thelefty for analysis crew 2008 imo -tranny I have a third degree burn in flame-o-nomics -Sir Chris |
The
bracket and the stats for this contest haven't updated yet. Also, it
still says "(1) Link vs. Ganondorf over (1) Cloud Strife vs. Sephiroth
(In Progress)" on my battle bracket page. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
From: LinkMarioSamus | #134 Well the percent right now is 59.02 so... --- The return of...Me_Pie_Three |
I refreshed the page and everyone had a higher score (201600). weird. --- "The great fallacy is that the game is first and foremost about winning. It's nothing of the kind. The game is about glory." - Danny Blanchflower |
Pokémon
fell off greatly during the Mario match, as against Samus. I expect
similar behavior here, but hard to tell if they'll fall enough to
actually lose. --- "Ovelia ... SPOILERS IN THE KEYWORDS WOOPS" - Vormav |
What was the actual vote differential change there, though? --- http://img.imgcake.com/RegaroUlquiorrapngse.png |
sounds like the stats of poll x were dependent on poll x+1 being in progress... but instead it's poll x+2 |
Yes the trainers went down from 59.83% to 59.02% in one update. Now the trainers are collapsing, I see! --- Currently Playing - StarCraft: Brood War |
(1) Link vs. Ganondorf over (1) Cloud Strife vs. Sephiroth (Correct) Finally, that updated. The bracket has been updated (if you view the bracket page), although making a pick for the final match isn't up yet. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
Looks like this is where Link/Dorf started slowing down their games last match. It's actually following Link/Dorf trends pretty closely. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy IV (FF2US) http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3445328 |
interesting --- http://i42.tinypic.com/11jol1t.gif Oracle Challenge ~ Rank: 8th ~Today's prediction: Cloud / Seph - 51.18% |
First time on the leaderboard, on the last day of the contest. Success! Yes I am sitting here in this topic bragging to all you people who have done this multiple times in the past . >.< |
Percent is dropping, but the trainers are still making decent gains. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Rivalry Rumble: 117/160 Today: Cloud/Sephiroth |
