SnoicFactor posted... Do you guys think that the Wii and Wii U hate on this site is finally affecting Nintendo's performance in the contests? Nah, there is hate for the Wii U but that's only because Nintendo hasn't announced any real games for the immediate future. There is still love for their series and their characters. If anything, there is a greater argument for Link getting anti-voted by people who don't want to see him win again than Nintendo hate. --- In Oz; cruel is the usual punishment. |
SnoicFactor posted... Do you guys think that the Wii and Wii U hate on this site is finally affecting Nintendo's performance in the contests? Isaac isn't exactly Tanner level IMO. Him getting 15% on LoZ is not terribly surprising. --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
I
mean, The Binding of Isaac did sell a few million copies, which is
really impressive for an indie game, and Isaac has the benefit of being
the title character. --- Green is not a creative color |
Freshly-Picked: Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/930503-freshly-picked-tingles-rosy-rupeeland --- http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/cb9_code?c=5vsjNPEzTFfxNmO426ofUiDZYFTl1zjtMn |
Description: "Still single at 35, Tingle sets off on a search for happiness! One day, our hero hears a mysterious story... It says that only those who save their rupees and throw them into the Western Pool are sure to be led to the dreamy Rupeeland. Mesmerized by the tale and tired of his dull everyday existence, our hero becomes Tingle and sets out on a journey to collect all the rupees he can. Tingle finds himself traveling through a harsh world where no one is to be trusted, and whose inhabitants have an insatiable desire for rupees. He must learn to hold his nerve in high-stakes negotiations and enter dangerous dungeons on the road to Rupeeland!"

122 vote lead. Match over. --- http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/cb9_code?c=5vsjNPEzTFfxNmO426ofUiDZYFTl1zjtMn |
One
thing to consider: relative to our expectations, Link had a surprising
underperformance in his last opener against Thrall way back in 2010.
Since then, the average votals per poll has dipped by another, what, 20%
or so? It could be argued that the lower the votals get, the larger
percentage of those votals is comprised by smart, snarky, longtime users
who would vote for fodder and anti-vote the clear winners for a laugh. I don't think this is some sort of reprimand against Nintendo for the Wii U. Let's not forget that just about every big gaming company - from Nintendo to Square to EA to Microsoft to Capcom - has done its fair share to piss off or disappoint gamers over the past three years. Nintendo hardly seems like it would be the biggest recipient for company anti-voting, especially since we've already had years to get used to the way they do things with the Wii. --- http://i.imgur.com/IjkDZMA.jpg |
Isaac trying to pull away now. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |

I have this suspicion as well-- not necessarily that the motive is anti-vote or spite, but rather that the voting population is trending towards long-timers who might be more familiar with the lesser known characters. Maybe legit character development counts for more than it used to, and name-recognition counts for relatively less? At the same time, I wonder if SBAllen's social media promotion of the contest will spur any kind of counteractive voting force. I think probably not enough to bring votals back up, but we'll see. I'm no stat guru, tbqh. --- http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr263/crypto_magnum/Polycosm_sig.jpg |
Day 1 reminder that Epona will be going very deep into this contest. --- "Thank you, thank you, no applause necessary, just send money..." |
Isaac's taking off. --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
Do we have an updater around yet? --- "i am pretty sure 3-year old children would generate more thoughtful discussion than board 8 on any topic of sexism" - Naye745 |
No
updater yet. creativename hasn't even logged into his account since
last Thursday. I emailed him about the updater, but it may take a while
before he sees my email. For now, I will have to track poll updates
myself. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

Did you always have to scroll so far to even see the poll on the mobile site? Or is my phone's browser at fault --- Watch me play games! http://www.twitch.tv/lordofdabu |

Thinking
about it, it wasn't smart to think Link would get more percentage here
than in his last 1v1, weaker competition or not. If he finishes around
75%, which it looks like he will, everything actually makes sense. Now,
two days until we get our first interesting match. For 1st place that
is. --- *2, *8,070,446 Kuroko no Basket *3, *6,495,240 Naruto |
Only 70%? Link is so screwed when Sephiroth arrives! --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. SuperNiceDog > Me |
I wake up and see results that kinda surprise me. --- Dr voltchball - best in the world. |
That match pic has me really worried about Waluigi. I think it's going to be closer than most people initially thought. |
As in, Raiden having trouble? --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
This
just means nobody else is even gonna break 70% in the first round.
Maybe Cloud and Snake won't even get past 65%? Don't worry, Link will
still win. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
LinkMarioSamus posted... As in, Raiden having trouble? Yes. That said, Raiden is in his MGS4 guise which seems to be a lot more popular and 'accepted' among most fans. If he was in his MGS2 gear I would be a lot more concerned. Ahh what does it matter! It's Waluigi! This guy sucks and if Raiden does actually lose he should be excommunicated from all further contests. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - First opponent - Link |
I can't be the only one who keeps cracking up at Isaac's picture right? --- The Great GameFAQs Character Battle IX contest - 0/0 points NP: Link > Isaac (BOI) > Tingle | |

Hey
guys, does anybody have a link to that page that shows the percentages
for each individual update as they come in? This page also showed the
votes for each character, the amount each was being by, etc... --- Point Total: 76/84. Guru Status: Alive(36) My Bracket Says: Night: MM Day: MC |
What the heck is with the Raiden/WaLuigi match pick? It's god awful! --- Point Total: 76/84. Guru Status: Alive(36) My Bracket Says: Night: MM Day: MC |
hellfire104 posted... Hey guys, does anybody have a link to that page that shows the percentages for each individual update as they come in?

AlecTrevelyan006 posted... http://img.imgcake.com/votepngna.png I have figured out the reason why your vote didn't count. For now, I would recommend that you vote directly from the poll results page instead until this problem can be fixed. I have just reported this problem to Bacon. This issue only applies to users who are on Throwback Mode. If you use Throwback Mode, you should vote directly from the poll results page. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Link
only at 70%? Either he's weaker, or Tingle is legit dragging him down
and LFF is going to be nutty this contest. Really glad I banked on the
latter in a lot of key matches. REALLY glad I switched to Blue winning twice. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, Rest in peace Kazbar :( |
I
wake up to see the match and what is going on?Link barely 70%?If Link
ends with under 70% it will be a glorious day.Also that means that if
the final is Snake/Link/Mario,Snake wins for sure.Man if that happens I
except in the next contest Link to break 90% in every match. But I am worried about FF7.If Link is doing this,how will Sephiroth do?Yeah much worse.Oh well. --- 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~ |
Well,
something weird is going on, because apparently 2013 Isaac + 2013
Tingle is comparable to 2010 Sonic. Sure makes the contest more
interesting! --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
Are you seriously comparing a 3-way to a 1v1? In that case 2007 Edgeworth + 2007 Bidoof + 2007 Agent J = SFFd 2010 Sonic. And oh hey Link just got himself over 71%. That being said, despite this his percentage against Isaac has been gradually decreasing, from 82.3% a while back to 81.7% now. Seems that Tingle has been the big loser for the past few hours, probably falling off just like a joke character normally would. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
I
ended up having Snake defeating Cloud, but I already kind of regret it.
I mean, I'm still leaning on Snake taking it due to Crono or Sora. But
if Cloud wins I'll really regret not going with my Cloud. --- *2, *8,070,446 Kuroko no Basket *3, *6,495,240 Naruto |
BK_Sheikah00 posted... This just means nobody else is even gonna break 70% in the first round. Maybe Cloud and Snake won't even get past 65%? Don't worry, Link will still win. Yeah, I'm agreeing with this. I'm thinking some of the predictions for this match with Link in the 80s just may have been a bit unrealistic. Throw in some anti-Link votes mattering a bit more with low votals and this really doesn't look bad at all. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
Unrealistic?People Link has broken 70% in a 4-WAY match!Was it unrealistic to have him break 80% on a 3-way match? --- 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~ |
Windwaker HD hype is clearly depowering Link, --- Dr voltchball - best in the world. |
Concerned with anyone who would say "don't worry, Link will win". Are people actively rooting for him? Still? --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
LinkMarioSamus posted... Are you seriously comparing a 3-way to a 1v1? What the hell. You're making sense all of a sudden. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
Also
I agree about Ulti picking Blue.I had him too,but I asked here and
everyone said that Fox wins easily so I picked Fox.Yeah my ass.Blue has
it. --- 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~ |
Luster, unless I'm mistaken your updater stopped working at 7:31 am. I don't know why. |
Yeah I feel better about picking Blue. --- http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/cb9_code?c=5vsjNPEzTFfxNmO426ofUiDZYFTl1zjtMn |
I hope Sephiroth falls early... --- http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/cb9_code?c=5vsjNPEzTFfxNmO426ofUiDZYFTl1zjtMn |
I
don't think this match has anything to do with LFF, Link's competition
is just stronger then people expected and/or anti-Link sentiments on the
site or more present then people expected. I don't believe this says
anything about the Fox/Wolf/Blue match or other matches where LFF will
be important though. --- This is my signature. |
This match says vote totals suck. --- http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/cb9_code?c=5vsjNPEzTFfxNmO426ofUiDZYFTl1zjtMn |
Link recovered.If he stayed under 70% it would be so awesome but not.So he fill finish with an expected percentage. --- 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 never doubted Blue was going to win his match, I still think he's going to embarrass fox, even with Wolf there. One match I am worried about is Zack/Kefka/Ryu. The FF split definitely could be enough to push Ryu in front (I took Zack). |
