anondum posted... to clarify here each match is a 9 way match, and the top one from each 3 pack advances? No, all matches are 3ways. |
Iamthekuzalol posted... LinkMarioSamus posted...I actually switched to Clementine > Spyro. The best argument I had for Spyro winning was that he's the star of an entire series while Clementine is from just one game. The only other one I could think of was child characters never performing well. I think this topic might have made me change my mind. I'm going to change back to Spyro. Actually wait, I just remembered why I picked Clementine over Spyro - I didn't want to see Spyro outlast Ratchet. Probably an extremely dumb excuse though, they may be around even in strength. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
If
you believe that The Walking Dead is going to flop then Spyro winning
is possible (Lee is in more danger of losing his match IMO) --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls BOP Topic: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/66439939 |

Also Crash performing well in his last three contests can at least kind of give hope for Spyro. I have Lee Everett > Mr. Game & Watch for the same reason I have Nathan Drake > Fox: I have faith that the characters with some of the most highly-regarded games this generation can beat out SSB-reliant characters considering how this site has shifted towards the former since last character battle. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
I've
seen a bit of Skylanders... it looks dumb (contrary to the PS1 Spyro
games), so I don't think Spyro is going to be strengthened at all. If we're counting Skylanders as a game, it's most likely the biggest game to come out in the past couple of years. Thing is massive. Don't know what it will do for Spyro in this contest though. --- Thinking Luigi and WAAAA > Pokemon Trainers was dumb, and Pokemon rocks. In other news, Valve is a pretty f***ing terrible company, let's be honest. |
LinkMarioSamus posted... Also Crash performing well in his last three contests can at least kind of give hope for Spyro. That Drake pick will never stop being a riot to me. That's the bracket equivalent of taking a wad of cash and setting it ablaze on a lark. |
Does
Skylanders have any popularity outside of kids and Jeff Gerstmann? I'd
think it'd have the same problem as Angry Birds; a large fanbase that
has no presence on GameFAQs. --- Our eyes were removed For our own safety. |
Dragonborn will be the bandwagon pick this year. Also am i crazy for picking Mewtwo over Vincent and Phoenix? --- Dallas Cowboys and Mavs gt: xxlightsout22xx |
From: lightsout06 | #057 Dragonborn will be the bandwagon pick this year. Yes, absolutely crazy. Vincent will dominate that match. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima SuperNiceDog: Bracket: Good, Taste: Bad |
If
you believe that FFVII has collapsed and Pokemon is even stronger due
to X&Y it isn't too crazy, Mewtwo got 41.35% on Ganondorf. I
wouldn't go for it personally. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls BOP Topic: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/66439939 |
If Mewtwo is threatening Vincent, then Pokemon has boosted (and Final Fantasy dropped) farther than anyone could imagine. And Pikachu would probably be going to the finals easily. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Well I see Pikachu beating Chrono --- Dallas Cowboys and Mavs gt: xxlightsout22xx |
Pikachu might beat Crono because of Magus being there. But I meant the actual finals. As in Pikachu beating Snake and Cloud. That is not happening. Absolutely not. It is impossible. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
I have also Pikachu and Charizard advancing a lot.I mean these 2 are the most known Pokemon. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
I
love the fact that Spyro is actually in a position to win a match
(Crash has a slight chance as well imo) and there's still a very strong
possibility that he'll/they'll tank. --- Submit your bracket for The Great GameFAQs Character Battle IX contest today!: http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/cb9_entry |
swirIdude posted... From: lightsout06 | #057Dragonborn will be the bandwagon pick this year. Even though there's a good chance Vincent will win, he wouldn't really dominate that match (and by dominate I mean getting 50%+) unless Mewtwo got his Eclair forme pic or something. --- Wii Fit Trainer MASTER RACE |
Ytterbium_70 posted... swirIdude posted...From: lightsout06 | #057Dragonborn will be the bandwagon pick this year. If you win by more than 10% over the next guy, you dominated, plain and simple. |
Just
looked up this old Crash match poll. It's 3 years ago I know, but it
gave me slight comfort about depending on Crash to get a W http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3752 I hadn't remembered getting that "high" of a percentage against Ryu H. --- Submit your bracket for The Great GameFAQs Character Battle IX contest today!: http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/cb9_entry |
yeah and Ryu H. did go on and beat Master Chief they next round iirc --- Dallas Cowboys and Mavs gt: xxlightsout22xx |
Yeah, but then this happened: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3831 Not really a great contest for Hayabusa. --- "Pardon me for breathing, which I never do any way so I don't know why I bother to say it, oh God, I'm so depressed." |
KanzarisKelshen posted... If you win by more than 10% over the next guy, you dominated, plain and simple. Ah, I see. I was thinking epic "I made a mid-midcarder and high fodder look like Tanner!" proportions blowout --- Wii Fit Trainer MASTER RACE |
ffmasterjose posted... Just looked up this old Crash match poll. It's 3 years ago I know, but it gave me slight comfort about depending on Crash to get a W That was a night match and you can see how Hayabusa got nearly 67% in North America, but got less than 55% outside of North America. In a day match, Hayabusa probably does about 2-3% better. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Now
that Aya Brea and Morrigan have made a second appearance in character
contests, who's the strongest of the SC2K2 cast yet to make a
re-appearance? ....ah, the answer is obvious now. Strider Hiryu. It's a shame he's still never made it back. We must rally for him next year! And, uh, does Seifer have a shot against Knuckles? --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those! It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
Polls for the next several days: 6/14/2013 - I don't know. Probably a poll related to E3, Xbox One, or the PS4. 6/15/2013 - Who won E3 this year? 6/16/2013 - I don't know. Probably an original poll idea. 6/17/2013 - Have you ever cheated in an online game? Haste_2 posted... And, uh, does Seifer have a shot against Knuckles? Probably not, with Celes Chere being in the match. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Rinoa
and Seifer would have had chances at advancing if both weren't
intentionally screwed by another FF character being in the same match. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
Now
that Aya Brea and Morrigan have made a second appearance in character
contests, who's the strongest of the SC2K2 cast yet to make a
re-appearance? ....ah, the answer is obvious now. Strider Hiryu. It's a shame he's still never made it back. We must rally for him next year! Interesting 20 characters from 2002 have never made the contest again. Abe Akira Yuki Bub Chop Chop Master Onion Dirk the Daring Gabe Logan Goemon Iori Yagami Kane Kazuya Mishima Kyo Mr. Driller Ms. Pac-Man Pitfall Harry Q*Bert Serious Sam Servbot Strider Tina Armstrong Ulala Only Kyo, Serious Sam and Strider won a match. Honestly I would take Ms. Pac-Man over all these characters, I still feel she was SFF by Mega Man like Pac-Man usually is against Mario characters. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls BOP Topic: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/66439939 |
Probably not, with Celes Chere being in the match. Kefka didn't get particularly hurt with Cloud in the poll. Likewise with Rydia when competing with Auron, unless she really is above the fodder line. Cecil suffered pretty badly when hanging with Zack, though. Yeah, I know 3-way will magnify 2-way leeching. We saw what Sephiroth did when he competed against 3 Nintendo characters. He did better against Fox, Meta-Knight, and Wario than against CATS, Meta-Knight, and Peach! Nevermind the fact that Fox was far beyond the Peach or CATS. Crono gained a decent bit against Link/Mario/Samus in 2008, but considering Mario and Samus were already SFFed by Link, Crono's performance isn't that impressive. Granted, FF8/FF6 don't have nearly the same overlap as Nintendo characters. But we can't forget that a character can overperform signifcantly when against 3 JRPG characters. See Ryu Hayabusa in 2007. Here I am going around in circles again.... about all we can say is that there will be, to some degree, more overlap in 3-way matches, which we already knew. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those! It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
Haste_2 posted... Now that Aya Brea and Morrigan have made a second appearance in character contests, who's the strongest of the SC2K2 cast yet to make a re-appearance? Wasn't there some silly stipulation that kept him from coming back, like the character didn't originate in a game or something like that? --- Now Playing Persona 4 Arena Currently repping Yukiko & Mitsuru |
Strider Hiryu was in the nomination database for this contest, so he could have gotten in, but didn't get enough nominations. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
So what's the deal with the guru and the share link? Are we using it? --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |

first mentioned the issues regarding the Guru on post #450 of the
previous stats topic. If you want to check out the posts, start from

Cecil didn't suffer that bad with Zack in the poll. He just sucked to begin with. Also LFF will be less significant with three characters. --- Leonhart posting from his phone |
Cecil is Knuckles level bro. Also he shouldn't be weaker than Kain and Rydia, though I'm not sure he looked that much worse than them anyway. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
I
don't see what the difference is between posting your bracket in the
form of a bunch of text or in a link that has a nice graphical design to
it. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
He wasn't at that level in 2008. --- Leonhart posting from his phone |
yeah well I don't like hearing the words Cecil and sucked too close together --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
At the moment I have a Noble Nine Final 9, doesn't feel right. --- This is a fantasy based on reality. ~DChemist~ |
charmander6000 posted... Now that Aya Brea and Morrigan have made a second appearance in character contests, who's the strongest of the SC2K2 cast yet to make a re-appearance? And Tina Armstrong. GFNW begins. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
Ytterbium_70 posted... KanzarisKelshen posted...If you win by more than 10% over the next guy, you dominated, plain and simple. There's that, then there's the Ulti-style blowout. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
pjbasis posted... yeah well I don't like hearing the words Cecil and sucked too close together Too bad because Cecil sucked before Dissidia. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |

The more I think about it, the more I feel that Epona is really going to shock a lot of people in this contest. --- Watch my Megan Man X3 LP! http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/66320479 |
By losing in the first round or reaching the third? --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls BOP Topic: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/66439939 |

turbopuns posted... charmander6000 posted...By losing in the first round or reaching the third? One less ....... |
Just keep in mind that Epona/Snake will be in round 3, which is customarily the sprite round. Pic of Link riding Epona vs. Sprite Snake Just keep that in mind. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Calling it first, there won't be a sprite round this contest. Really don't want to see Big Boss/Snake/Leon blobs again. |
I'm
all about a crazy contest-run for Epona, but Ike's probably going to be
in her R2-match and we're finally getting to see what Portal 2 (and its
better pictures, not including PotaDOS)
truly did for GLaDOS. I'll take Epona over anybody in her nine-pack
one-on-one, but I don't think LFF will be too kind for her...still
flip-flopping on who to take for Round Three because of this. --- T H E S T A B L E - bring on Epona! http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |
I'm
a bit nervous about GlaDOS she only got 31.60% on Kirby back in 2010
and even if Epona is a total flop Ike has decent strength (just under
45% against Pikachu and even getting SFF by Mario he ended above the
fodder line). Of course GlaDOS has had free Portal and Portal 2 since then --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls BOP Topic: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/66439939 |
