Perhaps Red was fresh in some people's memories from that otherwise terrible Rivalry Rumble. It's a shame that couldn't have been Charizard vs. Blastoise vs. Venusaur. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
Oh god Bacon please don't give Red Brawl match pics again. |
Game
of the Decade probably helped Red punch above his weight in nominations
like how memories of its glory days from 2007 helped L-block. And by Game of the Decade I mean Rivalry Rumble obviously! --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |

Would you guys be willing to support the idea of including this in the first post of all future stats topics: ~*Daily Vote Trends - An Explanation for Dummies*~ http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Daily_Vote_Trends During the contest season, we do talk about trends a lot, so adding that to the first post would help newbies understand all of the acronyms associated with the different time periods. Earlier today, I updated that Board 8 wiki page to include information about 12-hour match trends. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Maybe
Red gets more noms because he doesn't have any many other choices to
split with; there's a whole lot of Pokemon to nominate, but Red is
easily the strongest human from Pokemon. Or maybe casuals don't think
of generic species as characters to nominate. --- Congrats to 2011 Guru champ SuperNiceDog! |
I'm glad my theory was wrong. Should be a fun bracket though. Can't wait to see the rest. I wonder what the lowest seed to win is going to be. |

I'm
happy to see Crono got a 1 seed! Unfortunately taking 3rd in a match
with Cloud and Snake is not his best opportunity to shine, but I'll take
it. Crono might hurt Cloud a bit, but I'd expect the impact to be very
small. CT and FFVII have often demonstrated their independence. Link/Mario/(Cloud/Snake) looks like an interesting final. Can Mario LFF Link enough to make Cloud/Snake win? Remember, Cloud/Sephiroth LFF was only enough to lower Cloud from 56% to 50% on Snake. Link and Mario are more independent, and I wouldn't really expect Mario to stand up to Link in this situation (a final where Link needs the votes). I think I'm probably still going to take Link to win. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
PREDIX: Chester's seed I'm gonna say 10. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima SuperNiceDog: Bracket: Good, Taste: Bad |
I will be so incredibly disappointed if Red gets Brawl pics again. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

Dilated Chemist posted... Red could be the star of this contest. The best he'll do is LFF Mario enough to let a third party slip by, and I have serious doubts he'll even do that. In any case it won't be anywhere near Red/Blue's RR run. --- Will not remove this line of my signature until the Seahawks, Jazz or Rockies win a title (Started 5-16-09) SuperNiceDog: Guru winner |
People could think Mario is gonna win anyway and vote Red instead. Wishful thinking. --- GT: TriggerTRE / PSN: SolidTRE Life is short. Smile while you still have teeth! |
-LusterSoldier- posted... jacko_vdz posted...I sent a feedback request on this page: Message From jacko_vdz on 06/07/2013 I have a concern regarding the entrant Pokemon Trainer Red for the upcoming Character Battle. His picture on the "Meet the characters" page is of the Pokemon Trainer from Super Smash Bros. Brawl (SSBB), whose appearance is based on Red's character design in Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen. However they are not actually the same character, or else he would be referred to as 'Red' or 'Pokemon Trainer Red' The official trophy descriptions of the Pokemon Trainer from SSBB is listed as follows: Name: Pokémon Trainer Appearances: GBA Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen Description: A person who raises Pokémon and trains them as partners in battle. Source: http://www.mariowiki.com/Trophy_Descriptions_(Super_Smash_Bros._Brawl) The trophy specifically states that this is a generic Pokemon Trainer with no reference to Red in particular. Additionally it says that he originated in the GBA games, hence he logically can not be the same character. Hence, to not confuse voters and contestants, I would recommend his picture be changed to an official picture of Red from one of his game appearances. Some examples of official art from Pokemon Red/Blue and FireRed/LeafGreen are: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Red_Green_Red.png http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:FireRed_LeafGreen_Red.png Thank you kindly for your consideration. |
Emporer_Kazbar posted... I'm worried DB/MC will suffer some LFF and let the third party through if they aren't completely terrible. I mean, it won't be a whole lot, but I definitely think there will be a little. They're not going to LFF each other, don't be silly. They have absolutely nothing in common except 'games made by western companies'. |
KanzarisKelshen posted... Emporer_Kazbar posted...I'm worried DB/MC will suffer some LFF and let the third party through if they aren't completely terrible. I mean, it won't be a whole lot, but I definitely think there will be a little. Both the main markets of the game are on the 360. I'm not saying it will be much, and honestly there's no certainty it would happen at all, but I'd be surprised if there was none. --- Will not remove this line of my signature until the Seahawks, Jazz or Rockies win a title (Started 5-16-09) SuperNiceDog: Guru winner |
I thought Skyrim's main market was PC. Either way, the fanbase won't overlap much with the Halo diehards. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima SuperNiceDog: Bracket: Good, Taste: Bad |
DB is gonna embarrass MC if they meet up. --- GT: TriggerTRE / PSN: SolidTRE Life is short. Smile while you still have teeth! |
Ok, THAT's definitely not happening. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima SuperNiceDog: Bracket: Good, Taste: Bad |
Pokemon Trainer in SSBB and FRLG is Red. He looks exactly the same as the Red you face in the Pokemon BW2 Champions tournament. Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver spoilers Also the Red you face at the end of HGSS looks exactly like the Pokemon Trainer in SSBB It's too bad he'll probably get stuck with SSBB pictures since I think a fair number of people don't consider them as the same character even though they are. Maybe the older pics is what made him so much stronger in the Rivalry Rumble? Fortunately Blue won't have this problem if he makes it in since he looks pretty similar in all games. --- Pokemon VGC2013 OR Regional - 12th place Pokemon VGC2013 BC Regional - 16th place |
......this looks like one of the dumbest brackets ever. --- "It's just a vocal minority that hates Ulti for being right all the time." -ZenOfThunder |
There's no way a Brawl pic of Red is gonna hurt him more than a sprite pic of Leon and Snake. If people can recognize a bunch of brown pixels, yeah. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
A
voter can obviously make out what the character looks like from Red's
SSBB picture. The problem is when they think it's someone else. So this
is more like the problem with ZSS. The picture is clear but the voters
think it's a different character. Also the name Red isn't that recognizable either since it's just one of the default names in the original games and most people change the name of the trainer when they play. Or if they choose a default name, they choose Ash. You would need to meet Red in a different game to see his name as Red or simply hear from someone else that his official name is Red. --- Pokemon VGC2013 OR Regional - 12th place Pokemon VGC2013 BC Regional - 16th place |
Red Brawl pics don't draw on any of the nostalgia power of RBY, which is the entire point of nominating him, really. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Why's
Bacon so hellbent on letting Dante and Leon duke it out. Also assuming
if Zero made it to the divisional finals, it could be disastrous for
Mega Man depending on who the third contestant is. |
Speaking of match pictures, I wonder if SBAllen will let people try and sabotage Dante with DMC pictures. --- Pokemon VGC2013 OR Regional - 12th place Pokemon VGC2013 BC Regional - 16th place |
I'd assume yes since it's his newest game and people actually do like DMC Dante (just not many) --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
The "not many" part is a big problem in a popularity contest. However, I guess it probably won't matter in Round 1 or 2. --- Pokemon VGC2013 OR Regional - 12th place Pokemon VGC2013 BC Regional - 16th place |
Speaking of DMC Donte, how much of a factor would a FemShep pic be in the early rounds? |
that's not sabotage. that's using the newest. I'd expect at least half of his pictures to be from DMC. --- xyzzy |
http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2011/08/Mass-Effect-3-the-real-female-shepard.jpg This one right? I'd assume Fem Shepard should do fine. Lots of players who prefer it to Male Shepard (though I guess not necessarily the "canon" female design) --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
Dante/Leon is to Bacon as Snake/Knuckles is to CJayC --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima SuperNiceDog: Bracket: Good, Taste: Bad |
Why hasn't anyone brought this up yet? But why isn't Allen advertising any of this at the home page of the website? |
because it's not ready --- xyzzy |
I'm
not worried that there is no link on the home page. Once the entire
bracket has been revealed, I think he will put up a link on the home
page. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
yeah especially since the bracket's not even done, there's not point in confusing the general public... --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
That's sort of like wasting more time. The longer its on the main page the more amount of participants and stuff. |
Time to pick Squall to win the division --- Leonhart posting from his phone |
Also LOL Dante and Leon together again. Although Leon might actually have a shot this year with a Donte pick. Kinds surprised Lightning got such a high seed, but after seeing the 3 seeds I feel like Allen is taking a lot of liberties with seeding. --- Leonhart posting from his phone |

Mario probably still wins. |
It'd be a pretty hot fight. |
