pjbasis posted... Such a disappointing loss. Vincent Tifa Ryu Missingno (technically, but only one contest lol) Edit: Forgot the Zard, but see Missingno I think that's it. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Damn you Vincent. And people really think Barret is gonna be that far below Tifa and Vincent? Come on --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
The only poll we have to base Barret's popularity on says he's bottom-tier for FFVII. Of course, lol All Those Ways and 2002, but Barret would do pretty well to be on par with 2010 Cid. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Such a disappointing loss. Who else is in that category? Not counting one shot fodder characters like Tanner and characters who've only been in one 1-on-1 contest (i.e., those who debuted in 4-way years and thus have only been in 2010): The Noble Nine themselves (minus Crono) Vincent Zelda Tifa Pretty sure that's the list unless I'm forgetting someone. Kirby would be on that list if he hadn't lost to Squall in 2004, and a couple of characters are only one loss away from being on that list as well (Bowser losing to Charizard in 2010 knocked him off the list, for instance). --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Ryu lost to Bowser in 2005. He's another one of those guys who's only one loss away from being on the list. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Augh, that's right. I forgot the list Ryu (was) on was the 'finished above 40% all the times one before 2010. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
And yeah, I expect Barret to be the weakest FFVII character we've seen thus far, not counting the Midgar Zolom. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Barret weaker than Cid? I just can't believe it! This guy is in the beginning of the game! He's iconic! --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
Augh, that's right. I forgot the list Ryu (was) on was the 'finished above 40% all the times one. Kirby is STILL on that list! Heck, Squall is the only loss keeping him from being on the "Finished at least 45% in every match" list as well and just barely at that, since he got 44.99%. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Man, I've missed discussing contest stats. I feel like I'm getting my second wind! --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=845 I mean, I know this poll is absolutely terrible to use, but unlike others this one has held up pretty well aside from Tifa. If we want to argue Cloud hurt Tifa more than usual in here because plot (and thus Cloud/Tifa hurt Barret as much), Barret's probably around the Cid/Red level. That's a lot of assumptions to make for a decade+ year old poll though, but I don't think it's necessarily unreasonable. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
3-ways actually sounds like a fun idea to me. I take it we're not guessing 2nd place based on the bracket entry test? --- Menji~ Cat Daddy~ http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/3549/katef.gif |
Correct, 2nd place is irrelevant in this contest. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
If you know it's so terrible don't even use it! We don't have to bring up those Mario polls where Yoshi takes first right --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
Well,
we've seen things can change quite a bit over the years. We saw Mario
make big leaps and bounds in the Mario character poll over the years. But again, yeah, I don't have high hopes for Barret. I'd be kind of surprised if he goes out in round one though unless he gets a tough draw like Cid did. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
pjbasis posted... If you know it's so terrible don't even use it! I already said it's probably terrible, BUT it held up well! Unless you were one of those who ignored it and took Kerrigan over Vincent in 2005. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Man, Vincent/Kerrigan was such an amazing match. The overreactions were glorious. And then Tifa quadrupled Vyse a few days later and everyone was like "Did the FFVII fans just give all their support to Vincent and Tifa now that Cloud and Sephy are retired?" So good. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
And then Vincent and Tifa got 'embarrassed' by Dante and Luigi relative to the overreaction, respectively. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Especially Luigi in Tifa's case. remember when people were seriously picking KOS-MOS to win that match --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
I didn't show up on this board until Magus/Knuckles, so no! I will always take solace in the fact that even though my instincts said Kefka > Crono was a lock, those same instincts said Mario was going to run wild on the main bracket. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Ha, at this point we've been here so long I forget when people joined. But yeah, there were people seriously taking KOS-MOS > Luigi as an upset, because Luigi's X-Stat value in 2003 was pretty sucky (He finished below friggin' Donkey Kong). Of course, this was before we knew anything about the Nintendo Boost. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
LeonhartFour posted...
It was the fanboy in me. --- Not so Gr8 anymore. |
I'll
be fair and say that I'll probably take any FFIV-related win I can
remotely justify, so I can't really insult people for considering
KOS-MOS > Luigi for similar reasons. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
I didn't start posting here till Charizard was finishing up his run. What a shame GotD was the only good thing I saw live. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
Well,
it's not like I haven't made my fair share of bad contest blunders
myself. My very first bracket, the original Games Contest, was a
disaster. I had Mario 3 winning the whole thing, Tetris beating Zelda 1,
Kingdom Hearts in the Elite Eight, yikes. I did manage to get the Final Four totally correct though! --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Serious
non-fanboy talk though, I was most hyped about seeing how
Mario/Samus/Snake/Cloud would shape up so seeing that both Mario and
Samus are in purely to be Link-fodder is really, really disappointing
and that alone makes this a terrible bracket to me. Unless we get a Cecil/Kain/Rydia first-round match, which would be funny and awesome you should do that Bacon so I become happy. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Yeah,
I'm very disappointed we didn't get some form of Cloud/Sephiroth vs.
Snake vs. Samus/Mario. Wasted opportunities there. I think Bacon
intentionally wants Mario to be in the final to at least try to make
people pause a LITTLE bit before automatically picking Link to win the
whole thing. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Samus is Mario fodder you mean --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
Well, yes, but Samus is Mario-fodder just to make sure she doesn't interfere in the plan of 'Link/Mario/CloudSnake' finals. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
I'm
actually kind of curious to see how well Samus holds up to Mario. I
mean, she's not going to win, of course, but she held up pretty well in
2008. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Who will be the first NN to lose? This could be interesting. --- GT: TriggerTRE / PSN: SolidTRE Life is short. Smile while you still have teeth! |
I hope Link is knocked out in round 1 somehow mmmhmm --- XBL GT: Demon Ninja X2 "There comes a time in every man's or woman's life where they have to make **** up to cover their ass." - Hazama |
Link vs. Missingno vs. L-Block ROUND ONE --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
I honestly would not be surprised if Bacon intentionally put either L-Block or Missingno in Crono's division. God, the debates that would spawn. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
LeonhartFour posted... Link vs. Missingno vs. L-Block ROUND ONE what about ? Block VS L Block VS Link Seriously the uproar of Link somehow losing in Round 1 would be delicious --- XBL GT: Demon Ninja X2 "There comes a time in every man's or woman's life where they have to make **** up to cover their ass." - Hazama |
I
don't want to see Missingno in Crono's division, honestly. Put him in
Mega Man or Sonic's division. Heck, put him in Snake or Samus's division
to see what it can really do. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
I would not be surprised if Bacon intentionally put both L-Block and Missingno in Crono's first match. SJF? --- Nominate Spring Breeze Dancin' from Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon for Character Battle IX! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJrnlFW4IMc |
LeonhartFour posted... I don't want to see Missingno in Crono's division, honestly. Put him in Mega Man or Sonic's division. Heck, put him in Snake or Samus's division to see what it can really do. It was more 'to spawn a debate on Snake/Cloud/BlockMissingno' than anybody thinking Crono could hold either of them off. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Well,
I wouldn't expect to see a second miracle L-Block run unless the
internet suddenly starts caring about GameFAQs again. Missingno could do
some damage though. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Korayashi posted... I would not be surprised if Bacon intentionally put both L-Block and Missingno in Crono's first match. SJF? JLF would be a better term for that. Joke Leech Factor. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
This bracket is gonna be so unpredictable. --- GT: TriggerTRE / PSN: SolidTRE Life is short. Smile while you still have teeth! |
And the Oracle Challenge... --- GT: TriggerTRE / PSN: SolidTRE Life is short. Smile while you still have teeth! |
I just realized Crono's division is the sixth one. ...Would Bacon really make Missingno the sixth seed of the sixth division? --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Dilated Chemist posted... And the Oracle Challenge... A new scoring system would need to be created for this Oracle Challenge. There's already a topic about that right now. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/66366793 --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Oracle is less fun when it's not 1-on-1, in my opinion. Doesn't mean I'm not going to participate, but still. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Cool. Thanks, Luster. --- GT: TriggerTRE / PSN: SolidTRE Life is short. Smile while you still have teeth! |
I
hope Bacon reveals the 2s and 3s relatively early in the afternoon
tomorrow since I have to work. I don't want to have to catch up the day
after! --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
I'm going to guess 2s sometime between 11AM-1PM PST and 3s sometime between 3PM-5PM PST --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
I
was thinking that I might take a joke character over Samus now, but I
decided against it in the end since jokes fall off the map too quickly. --- Currently Playing - Metroid Prime 3, Wind Waker, Final Fantasy VII, Enslaved, Symphony of the Night |
Let's
hope Bacon put Squall in Crono's division. Crono vs Squall would be
fun, regardless of the outcome, either of them would aid Snake in
beating Cloud. |
