From: _Regaro_ | #249 To reference a match made famous by George Romero in which we went through at least 5 stat topics over the course of the match: BARRIERS --- http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/8718/leonflowchart.png |

Pokemon is the modern day CT when it comes to close matches. You absolutely do not want to have it as your opponent in one. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
Actually, if that were true, you would WANT to face CT in close matches because, Frog aside, its record is not so good. If we want to talk Mario or MGS, then that's another story. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |
I still haven't forgiven MGS2 for that
match with SotC. Really thought it had saved my battle points when it
took the lead in the final hour... only to choke it away. :( --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
60000 votes GET And we still have enough time to break 62000 as well. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ! |
Huzzah! I never thought we'd see 60,000 votes again --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
So wait, what's the best guess on Link's % anyway? 61? 64? --- SubDeity wants to vote for Calvin Coolidge. [Evil Republican] Play Der Langrisser. |
I'd say Link gets not more than 56% --- I think I broke the LOL |
this
match should be thought of as one of the 5 best of all time. hugely
strong opponents, unpredictable trends, huge comebacks, a big upset to
the usual balance of the contest, dead even for 12 hours straight -- and
yet very few people really care. I guess that's because there's no
brackets on the line, but still. CT vs. LTTP wasn't this close or this
unpredictable and that match had people reloading like crazy all night. Mario tonight... I have no idea. this 10/5/1% thing is going to be the death of me. --- xyzzy |
Link gets 66%. BOOK IT --- 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 |
Link with 59 - 60 % Risking everything I have that's more than allen's points with an all-out straight pick on that anyway, this match is unbelievable. I've been refreshing all day long. I've been refreshing on my phone and on here. I'm SHOCKED there isn't more discussion Where you at board 8??? --- Nominate Link vs. Dark Link for the rivalries battle! The return of...Me_Pie_Three |
From: transience | #259 Speaking of good matches, I still feel TF2/Fable getting forgotten as one of our better matches is a travesty >_> I know it was two weak opponents and had minimal contest significance, but that was a damn match. --- Chex Warrior (Chex Quest) for CB2011 |
2 votes! It's been within 44 votes for the last 3 hours and 25 minutes. --- Red vs. Blue what is even special about this. -ZFS here's a guy that doesn't get it! No desire to be the very best! -SHINE GET 64 |
Two votes...good lord. --- SubDeity wants to vote for Calvin Coolidge. [Evil Republican] Play Der Langrisser. |
From: AlecTrevelyan006 | #262 As far as matches I've actually followed, I'd say Missingno/Crono, Fable/TF2, then this one. But Missingno/Crono is what really sparked my interest in contests to begin with so <_< --- http://img.imgcake.com/RegaroUlquiorrapngse.png |
omg omg omg I know it's a popularity contest and I shouldn't care which pair of characters is more popular but this is sweet --- Nominate Link vs. Dark Link for the rivalries battle! The return of...Me_Pie_Three |
Pokemon Trainer Red vs. Pokemon Trainer Blue 50% 30277 Cloud vs. Sephiroth 50% 30275 TOTAL VOTES 60552 There's a 2 lead vote right there, ladies and gentlemen. OH THE IRONY --- I think I broke the LOL |
Cloud/Seph struggling to take the lead now, instead of actually holding on to it. --- - |
What's the irony of the two vote lead? I'm missing something... --- Nominate Link vs. Dark Link for the rivalries battle! The return of...Me_Pie_Three |
Fantastic match. --- Where Batman goes, adventure follows! Aquaman |
My top 5 from GOTD: 1. SotC/MGS2 2. MM/FFX 3. TF2/Fable 4. Brawl/Melee 5. P4/DR And I'm leaving off some good matches there. --- Praise the Black Turtle, Game of the Decade Guru Champ. (Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!) |
still nuts --- ~Acting on Impulse~ Black Turtle still didn't MAJORA'S MASK |
Huh, that 19 vote lead maintained through the update. --- 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) |
TF2/Fable was super forgettable. those games are just weak and people only cared because it was worth a point in their brackets. --- xyzzy |
Honestly, a match just being close the whole time isn't all that
exciting. Huge comebacks are where the excitement is at. It's one of
the reasons I don't like 12-hour matches as much. You've killed the
potential for big comebacks when you cut the match in half and
effectively eliminate trends. --- http://i.imgur.com/CbfFb.jpg |
Leave it to Pokelosers to vote stuff in a meaningless match. This fanbase never ceases to amaze me. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? |

This match is nuts! Is this match going to go down in contest history as being closer/more exciting than Frog vs. Master Chief in 2004 (Frog wins by 7 votes)? |
Wouldn't it be funny if this ended closer than Frog/Liquid, but we can't count it because it's not an official contest poll. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? |
tied match... this late... who would have thought??? --- Link's is pretty much the video game equivalent of the Jesus story. -- Yoblaser |
It is official. It just doesn't mean anything. Officially. --- 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) |
Lets go Cloud! --- LM |
'Dat five vote lead. --- 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) |
IN-DE-STRUCTIBLE wait --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Best match since LTTP/CT --- SubDeity wants to vote for Calvin Coolidge. [Evil Republican] Play Der Langrisser. |
The
fact that this is tied, combined with the fact that this may have the
highest votals of any poll this contest, really shows that good bracket
making could have saved this one. I mean, it wouldn't have been great,
but it would have been a LOT better. This is one of the best matches
ever, and if the trainers pull it off, it'd at least be my number 1. You might even say it would be the very best, like no one ever was. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
From: BlAcK TuRtLe | #284 Wouldn't it be funny if this ended closer than Frog/Liquid, but we can't count it because it's not an official contest poll. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=2882 Why does everyone forget? --- :| |
