It's
not so much I'm expecting Blue to be a powerhouse, its just the fact
that you've got Fox and Wolf in the same match together. Blue totally
has a chance to sneak through. Fox/Wolf aren't even heavy hitters like
that. --- | The Great GameFAQs Character Battle IX contest - COMING SOON to a GameFAQs near YOU | YES! YES! YES! |
Cecil
might make that 9-pack interesting. Also Red has proven himself to at
least have some strength. Overall I don't think people are giving Fox
much credit. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the guru contest. |
Well
if you want to use Rivalry Rumble, then since Fox/Wolf may have gotten a
rivalry boost I have a feeling that Fox will SFF Wolf really badly.
Heck, Fox would probably SFF any other Star Fox character really badly.
Who really gives a darn about any Star Fox character other than Fox
himself (I was about to say the man himself, lol Fox is not a man). Also Fox is probably a high midcarder at this point, unless you think he has deboosted just like the rest of his Nintendo brethren. Then again I only say he's a high midcarder because he's worth 30% on Cloud. By now a high midcarder is probably worth 35% on Cloud. Forget about that lol. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Blue
does have a chance, but Wolf would have to hold up and I don't see that
happening. I guess it may be possible for Blue to be stronger than Red. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the guru contest. |
Nope,
don't think Fox is a high midcarder, that territory is probably more
befitting for characters like Leon Kennedy, Zack, Kratos, Dante, Ryu,
etc. I'm siding with Fox as for now, but he's really not all that strong and with all those LFF weighing down on him, Blue might sneak in and secure a win. |
Barely putting 60% on Tails isn't what I call a, "high midcarder" --- Because Thulium_69 is just lame |
Wouldn't take Fox over those guys either, but Red (or Blue) won't come close to them as well. Fox vs. Tidus or Sub-Zero would be an interesting match IMO. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the guru contest. |
I
was so worried that Aerith and Pac-Man wouldn't get in. Happy that both
can get out of Round 1 and even have a shot at getting to the third
round (slim on Pac-Man's end, but possible)! Edit: But on an analytical level, does anyone think that Pac-Man has a shot at making it through to Round 3? If he and Game and Watch make it to Round 2, Pac-Man could take advantage of Nintendo LFF and sneak through, or if Blue takes advantage of LFF the round before, Pac-Man could just beat him and Lee straight up. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. |
Stats topic underrates pokémon! BINGO! --- *shrug* |
Tails
possibly rebounded in strength or maybe he wasn't as awful as what the
fourways had depicted. Yeah, that 61% was abit embarrassing, but i
still think Kratos is around high-midcarder. |
Damn,
this is the second time that Bacon has decided to run 2 polls in one
day outside of a contest setting. I can't imagine him putting a third
poll immediately after Sony's conference because that conference happens
very late in the evening. He'll probably wait until 12:00 AM EST to
put up a poll related to Sony's conference. Although maybe he does 2
polls tomorrow, one for Sony's conference and another one right after
the Nintendo Direct presentation. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

How
long have brackets usually up before closing by the way? Or,
alternatively, has there been an official announcement regarding when
this bracket will close? If my memory is correct its usually like 2 weeks from when the full bracket is posted, which would place the date at about 6/24. That being said I know people here have better memories about these things then I do so I wanted to make sure --- This is my signature. |
Okay
whatever, I decided to take Nathan Drake over Fox again. Drake would
own that match pretty much anywhere else on the Internet. It would be
embarrassing to see GameFAQs stand by the Nintendo character who has
practically nothing aside from Smash Bros. and a 15-year old game over
the star of one of the biggest franchises this generation. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
I'm expecting the first match to start at the beginning of July. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the guru contest. |
I've got pac-man beating drake! --- Death is not to be feared, but avoidance never hurt anyone. |
pyresword posted... How long have brackets usually up before closing by the way? Or, alternatively, has there been an official announcement regarding when this bracket will close? We usually have 2 to 3 weeks to fill out a bracket before they close. I'm going to take a guess and say this contest starts on July 1st. That would give us almost 3 weeks to fill out a bracket. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Okay,
so I've seen some people justifying taking Clementine because of the
Walking Dead's status as a hit TV show. Now, I've got to be
honest--until this bracket went up, I didn't even know that there was
a Walking Dead video game. I know that it's a popular TV show based on a
comic book series, but that's it. Now, Clementine's first-round
opponents aren't exactly strong, so she may win anyway. But anyone using
the other arms of the multimedia franchise to justify their pick should
remember how much the Star Wars name did for Revan and HK-47. Non-video
game-related recognition doesn't seem to be worth a damn in this
contest. --- "Everyone has a dick although it may not be physical. You just have to learn to access it within your mind." NO SCIENCE NO PEACE |
The Walking Dead game also sold a lot, though... --- I'm in a blender |
http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/cb9_entry_test The official bracket entry page will be launched tomorrow. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I
took both to advance round one because I feel they are the strongest in
the group, but I do feel I am taking a risk while others seem more
comfortable with The Walking Dead. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/Rivalry%20BOP.xls Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the guru contest. |
The
Walking Dead is likely the strongest game of everything in that 9-pack
aside from Twilight Princess and FFVII, possibly by a significant
margin. I'd be real surprised if she failed to coast to 2nd place in the
2nd round. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
RacistFAQs But seriously, it's either Everett/G&W/Pac-Man. I have no faith in Nathan Drake. --- ~The Dilated One~ |
Oh wait, nvm I forgot that's where Fox/Blue are at. --- ~The Dilated One~ |
How
strong have point and click adventure characters been before? That's
essentially what the walking dead is... I don't buy it having strength. --- Conformity and rebellion...both ways are simple-minded--they are only for people who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity. |
It'll be stronger than most expect, but it still won't be very strong. Just strong enough that Lee and Clementine have a good shot at winning their matches. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy V - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3529748 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
anyone else think 3) Lee Everett will lose like CJ did against Ness back in 2005? I can't see Lee Everett winning... --- 2011 Rivalry Rumble Guru Champion 4) Yuri Lowell to win the 2013 contest =) First victims: 15)Ryu and 24) Face McShooty |
...It's a point-and-click? ...Yeah, I'm not buying it having strength. I'd much rather debate whether the presence of a new fanbase that doesn't even realize he's been around longer than they have can help Spyro overcome the fact that his original fanbase no longer gives a s*** about him. Honestly, though, I expect low votals, a sub-40% mark for the winner, and about 7% in round 2. --- "Everyone has a dick although it may not be physical. You just have to learn to access it within your mind." NO SCIENCE NO PEACE |
I'd take Ness over Everett without thinking much about it. --- ~The Dilated One~ |
Dilated Chemist posted... I'd take Ness over Everett without thinking much about it. Same here. What do you guys think about 11) Teemo? I think he's the fan favorite amongst League of Legends fans(over 3) Draven). He's just so cute and memorable! Can he get past 8) L-Block? --- 2011 Rivalry Rumble Guru Champion 4) Yuri Lowell to win the 2013 contest =) First victims: 15)Ryu and 24) Face McShooty |
SuperNiceDog posted... Dilated Chemist posted...I'd take Ness over Everett without thinking much about it. Teemo isn't a fan favorite. There's a reason we LoL fans joke about his hidden passive being a universal taunt. |
http://www.lolking.net/charts Teemo's the 4th most played champ as of now(Behind Miss Fortune, Nidalee, Master Yi). --- 2011 Rivalry Rumble Guru Champion 4) Yuri Lowell to win the 2013 contest =) First victims: 15)Ryu and 24) Face McShooty |
I
don't know what to make of Teemo. League of Legends is popular, but
it's also a crap game that's completely irrelevant now that Dota 2 has
hit its stride. That other LoL character I have never heard of (must be
new) and can't see him doing anything. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
Teemo is only popular with girls Guess who doesn't come to this site --- Watch me play games! http://www.livestream.com/dabu |
To be honest League is one of the only competitive games that manages to cater to both genders pretty well. I know a lot of people play it because it's the only game they can get their girlfriends to play with them! --- Watch me play games! http://www.livestream.com/dabu |

Sorry BT; but one of the two biggest MOBAs replaced Starcraft in Korea, and it sure as hell was not DotA. ****, to give you an idea on how big LoL is...I live in South America and I've seen custom LoL T-Shirts here. For reference about the only and I mean ONLY series I've ever seen that had normal people wearing themed shirts is Mario. LoL is ****ing enormous and the single biggest game in the world. Don't mislead people on just how big it is, because someone might mispick based on your words. |

Let's not forget that Allen is paying people to write league guides for this site! http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/954437-league-of-legends/65304780 League of Legends is huge, no doubt. Most people will probably know who Teemo is. But he isn't a character I see people voting for (Unless riot offers a free skin to people who go vote or something crazy like that) --- Watch me play games! http://www.livestream.com/dabu |
I
remember someone posting a PotD from a couple months ago that said that
about 40% of the site had never played LoL before (I don't know exact
numbers). LoL is big, but comparatively not that big on GameFAQS. |
It was this poll: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4779 GameFAQs has never been huge on pc gaming. On most sites, Kerrigan would be beating Crono in the first round! --- Watch me play games! http://www.livestream.com/dabu |
The
problem with LoL is that all the characters are so cookie cutter from
each other. Both in looks as well as ability. Dota 2 has way more depth
in the hero pool and way more to it mechanically. LoL is like babby's
first dota clone --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
I think LoL would do better in a game contest than in a characters contest. Slightly better. --- ~The Dilated One~ |

LoL is like babby's first dota clone If Dota 2's heroes have way more depth, then why did none of them managed to permeate into Internet culture yet like their fellow Valve comrades GLaDOS and the TF2 classes? That casual knowledge could help them... very negligibly to the point of non-factor. Which is to say I'm yelling at a cloud or something. |
Anyone changing their Sora pick? --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |

Vote
totals for this poll are off the charts. We'll probably end up with at
least 700 votes before the freeze and probably even 800 votes. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
788
votes at the freeze. I have a feeling that this poll is very
frontloaded and vote totals will drop back down to earth after the first
hour or so. Because this insane pace we're on right now would put this
poll on a path to surpass 50000 votes. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
After
the really insane start for this poll, we're only about 200 votes ahead
of this year's age poll at this point in time. This poll is probably
breaking 50000 votes unless this poll was extremely frontloaded at the
start of the poll, but I don't see it finishing with more votes than the
age poll. Or if Bacon decides to close this poll early to put up a new
poll right after the Nintendo's Direct presentation. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
