Who would win in a match, Link or Guybrush Threepwood? --- Current Let's Play: Legend of Mana - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3474994 Previous LP's: http://lparchive.org/search/Mega64#results |
Not_Wylvane posted... Who would win in a match, Quadratus (colossus #2 in SOTC) or Guybrush Threepwood? Fixed. On another note, how well do you guys think Blast Corps, Diddy Kong Racing, and Jet Force Gemini would perform if they made it into a games contest? They...would probably all be really bad fodder aside from DKR which could pass for high fodder/extremely low midcarder, right. Conker's Bad Fur Day already performed like terrible fodder (how sad), so it probably only makes sense for JFG to be even weaker and Blast Corps likely being outclassed by both of them. Uhhh...Wii Sports vs. Jet Force Gemini or Blast Corps who've you got? |
Yeah, I've been checking B8 everyday for an SBAllen sticky topic. --- Your favorite Trapper's favorite Trapper What am I doing? Oh yeah that's right I'm doing me |
TRE Public Account posted... Any plans for a GameFAQs contest this year? SBAllen posted... @TRE Public Account: Yes. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/400-current-events/63979171/716030684 http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/400-current-events/63979171/716032379 --- SuperNiceDog was not so nice to my bracket. Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the Rivalry Rumble Guru Contest! |
So any day now. --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |
Is TRE the best mod ever? --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
That is awesome, I hope it's not anything weird like Rivals contest --- ... |
When was Rivalry Rumble announced? --- Yoblazer: http://oi52.tinypic.com/ad21i1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
From: Team Rocket Elite | #200 The 2011 contest was announced on September 23rd, 2011. --- Guess who I am! http://gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs3/1345748_o.gif |
Excellent. --- Yoblazer: http://i43.tinypic.com/25z1non.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Good to hear that there will be a contest coming soon, hopefully it's the character battle. |
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/400-current-events/63979171/716044003 http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/400-current-events/63979171/716075967 Bacon prefers to come up with the contest idea first before getting CBSi to provide the money for the prizes. We wouldn't have to wait as long as for contests if Bacon asks CBSi to provide some money towards the prizes. While waiting for approval from CBSi, that's when he should work on coming up with the contest idea. Once the money for the contest has been approved by CBSi, then Bacon can announce the contest at any time, so he doesn't need to finalize the contest idea before the money has been approved. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Will they clear money for a contest before SBAllen even tells them what the contest will be about? --- Pokemon VGC2012 Canadian Nationals - 8th place |
Under
most circumstances, CBSi should always assume that the money for the
contest will go towards a standard bracket contest. If Bacon doesn't
know what kind of contest he has in mind, he could tell CBSi that it
might another Character Battle or Games Contest. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/nominate_entry.php I wonder why that page is active right now? That's for last year's Rivalry Rumble. It even shows the nominations I made. If that nomination form is active right now, I guess it might suggest that Bacon is working on the nomination form for the next contest. By the way, I switched over to another account and made a nomination. I ended up getting nomination 14812 on another account, so that means we had a total of 14811 nominations for the Rivalry Rumble. Also, these pages are working again: http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/rivals_mybracket.html http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/rivals_bracket.html http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/rivals_stats.html http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/rivals_battle_stats.html So you could view your bracket again if you wanted to. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

It's
more likely that there is a bug on the site which allows you to view
the nomination form on GameFAQs. After all, a lot of bugs popped up on
GameFAQs when we had the move to AWS. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Woo. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
What's the general consensus on this contest? Gimmick'd again or a straight games/character battle? --- ST. LOUIS CARDINALS- YOUR WORLD SERIES CHAMPS! |
I
think it is very likely going to be a straightforward contest, with no
gimmicks. He already tried to make something 'new' last year and I
believe the feedback was pretty clear, no body liked it. The question is whether we are going to have games, series or character? I am hoping for a games contest with no restrictions, game of the decade was really fun and I would like to have another games contest with the older games included. --- ... |
We
should just have a straight up Character Battle to celebrate 10 years
of contests, even if we've already passed the 10 year anniversary of the
final match. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
Oh man, hints for an upcoming announcement. MY BODY IS READY --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
-LusterSoldier- posted... I'm noticing that the new polls are going up slightly earlier than usual. Today's poll just went up at 11:59:43 PM EST, or about 18 seconds earlier than usual. This could cause problems for the First Vote contest, especially if the new poll does not go up consistently at 11:59:43 PM (or off by one second at the most). And now today's poll went up at 11:59:38 PM. This is becoming a big problem for both the Oracle Challenge and TRE's First Vote contest. New polls are continuing to go up earlier than earlier than usual. Soon, there will be a time when new polls will be going up before 11:59:00 PM EST. This is definitely one of the bugs associated with the new AWS server that GameFAQs is on. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
does Bacon know about this bug? he may be able to fix it before the contest begins. --- ... |
It's
not really a problem for the First Vote contest. Back in the day, polls
could be early or late by 15 minutes or more. People attempting to get
the First Vote just had to keep trying during the time period. The
Oracle Contest just had people submit their entries early and will
probably go back to that. --- Pokemon VGC2012 Canadian Nationals - 8th place |
Bacon doesn't know about the bug yet, but I can always report the bug to him so it can be fixed. As far as the Oracle Challenge is concerned, maybe I'll consider asking Kaxon to go back to the 11:55 PM deadline for predictions. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Blargh. That Link/Ganondorf vs. Cloud/Sephiroth match is making it hard to pull up much enthusiasm for this contest. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
why? that rivalry contest was stupid and a lot of matches were weird I would not take Link to 58/41 Cloud (or even Sephiroth) in a normal 1-on-1 battle. Besides we don't know if it's going to be CB or games contest yet --- ... |
Best Game Ever with a Tournament of Champions, please. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
From: red sox 777 | #234 Blargh. That Link/Ganondorf vs. Cloud/Sephiroth match is making it hard to pull up much enthusiasm for this contest. LOL how pathetic --- http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2369/mythbattlers.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |
I want to see Link at least challenged so it's fun when he wins. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Then you should've given up on contests in 2008. --- http://i52.tinypic.com/2zfiu09.gif http://i54.tinypic.com/10729w2.gif |
Have
an entire Character Battle without Link. At the end, throw Link in a
series of bonus matches, nonstop, one after the other. As voters get
increasingly tired of him, pit him against someone with crazy bandwagon
potential like Missingno. We get an exciting, Link-less bracket with at least four potential champions, Link fans get a bunch of Link matches at the end, and everyone gets the Link loss they've been waiting for, provided they sit through the week of Hylian Hammerings. --- Yoblazer: http://oi45.tinypic.com/258ngvc.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |
Man, Link was losing to a real character for 6 whole hours in 2008. Talk about invigorating (and horrifying!) --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Missingno is not a good opponent for beating Link. Any sort of "bandwagon potential" it may have is overrated. Plus, I'd rather have Link win than Missingno, yuck. --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |
And
meh, as long as Link had never managed to break 54% on Cloud, it was at
least close. 52-53% wins are exciting enough. 58% gives off an air of
finality. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
There was nothing exciting about Cloud/Link because it was
58% for the first hour. The rest of the match was Cloud slowly cutting
percentage and making the final result look somewhat respectable. --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonpngpe.png http://img.imgcake.com/squalloweenpngem.png |
But
we knew what the trends were, and that it would end much closer than
that. Plus, Cloud won hours. Prior to that rivals match, Link had
never managed to win all 24 hours before against Cloud. Not even on the
day TP came out, when Cloud squeezed out a win in the final hour of the
match. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
From: red sox 777 | #245 But we knew what the trends were Hence why it was horribly boring. --- http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2369/mythbattlers.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |
Not
to me. I had a lot of fun with all the Link/Cloud matches before the
rivals match (except perhaps the 2006 match, which was understandable
given that it was on TP launch day). --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Besides,
you're coming up with very technical reasons to excuse what we all know
was not an exciting match in the least unless you're a big Link fan or
FFVII hater. "Cloud won hours!" "We knew Cloud would make it closer in the end!" These do not make a good match. These things are completely irrelevant. --- http://i.imgur.com/eqOQs.gif |
To
me, it was a great victory that Cloud got 46.5% in that 2010 match. As
opposed to losing 58/42 or 60/40 as most people were
predicting/dreading. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Moral victories don't make exciting matches, and that's all you can come up with to justify it. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
