superange128 posted... Get her supports with the Avatar (whether male of female) I've gotten at least the first one with my male avatar. Already got an S-rank with another female though, so I'll have to wait for the next playthrough to finish it. I'm going to assume the dialogue doesn't change with Tharja regarding gender, yes? --- Now Awaiting: Tales of Xillia, Squigly patch for Skullgirls |
I'm
amazed at how few people are giving Tiny Tina a shot. She doesn't have
to be as strong as Claptrap to win her match. I have Tharja, but I'm
worried about Tiny Tina, not Juliet. I expect Juliet to be massively
more popular with people who don't come to Gamefaqs. --- SC2K13 Bracket: -0 Next upset: Jak > Draven/Chie Expert Challenge: -0 RIP Tingle Oracle: Team Frog and Magus |
I
would have had more faith in Juliet last year when he game was out,
everyone was aware of her and especially with Suda51's association. Today, Lollipop Chainsaw hasn't even become a cult game by any means. --- In Oz; cruel is the usual punishment. |
I'm
also more worried about Tina than most seem to be, but I don't know a
thing about Borderlands. I don't even know if Tina is a relatively
important character to the main story or if she's DLC-only (her name
seems to be tied to some DLC). If it's the latter, than I suppose it's
no big deal. If it's the former, though, then she does have what is
easily the strongest game in the poll backing her up. --- http://i.imgur.com/IjkDZMA.jpg |
StarStormScream posted... superange128 posted...Get her supports with the Avatar (whether male of female) I think it's almost exactly the same which is hilarious --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
I'm definitely not counting Tiny Tina out since she's from the Game of the Year of 2012 it's just that her reception is rather mixed but who knows if it's just a few people that don't like her --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
The
Leaderboard page has been updated, so we can all laugh at Devin_Morgan
and see how many people have 0, 1, 2, or 3 bracket points. --- Character Battle IX: 3/3 points, Next matches: Shepard, Tharja http://backloggery.com/articuno2001/sig.gif |

I'm not sure if it's the same one with her name in it or not, but I picked up BL2 a while back and she wasn't part of the starting lineup. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
Articuno2001 posted... The Leaderboard page has been updated, so we can all laugh at Devin_Morgan and see how many people have 0, 1, 2, or 3 bracket points. No % of correct picks per match but at least we have the number of brackets that got matches right listed as stats. Doing the math I got the following for 15,254 brackets submitted. Link/Isaac/Tingle - 97.59% Raiden/Waluigi/Alan Wake - 75.27% Yoshi/Solaire/Demi-Fiend - 83.77% --- In Oz; cruel is the usual punishment. |
I really,really don't know about the next match If it was Borderlands 2 VS Lolipop Chainsaw,Borderlands 2 would win with 70% or something If it was any major character from Borderlands 2(Vault Hunters,Clatptrap,Handsome Jack) they would beat Juliet so easily But since this is Tiny Tina,that about half of Borderlands 2 fans hate her,I really doubt i also don't think the latest DLC will give her any kind of boost - casuals players (which are..alot) only played the main story and don't bother with DLC....so only about 10%? of BL2 gamers got the fourth dlc I believe Some references- http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/638784-borderlands-2/66665324 http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/638784-borderlands-2/66629234 http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/638784-borderlands-2/66586059 http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/638784-borderlands-2/66218739 http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/638784-borderlands-2/64315822 http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/638784-borderlands-2/64199910 http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/638784-borderlands-2/64207556 But then again,why would anyone care for Juliet? I only know about her existence because of Jessica Nigri |
While we're posting more PROOF I sorta recently posted a poll at the Lollipop Chainsaw PS3 board http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/637317-lollipop-chainsaw/66549348 WHile it's a much smaller "sample" of people than the results we could get on the Awakening or Borderlands 2 boards it's still something --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
This is really annoying that the poll result page doesn't have direct links to "Your Bracket" and "Your Expert Challenge" pages This is stupid |
She's a NPC in the main game. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 2/2 Today's Picks: Yoshi and Shepard |
Here's
a surprise X-Factor to consider for tonight's match: Two Best Friends
Play has a Lollipop Chainsaw video and it has over a million views...!
Plus, Matt is a big fan of Jessica Nigri (the girl who portrays Juliet),
so yeah. LPers deciding matches, perhaps LMS was a harbinger of the fall all along. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Just
thought I'd mention they added a little graph to the bottom of the
leaderboard page showing how many people have what scores. It is a bit
more difficult to interpret then in previous years, and I still can't
find anything about how many people got each match correct, but it is a
start at least. --- This is my signature. |
Oh right, trend chart for the night match: Time | Yoshi | Solaire | Demi | Votes 0:05 | 65.57% | 22.00% | 12.43% | 909 1:00 | 62.02% | 23.56% | 14.42% | 6066 2:00 | 61.47% | 24.04% | 14.49% | 3382 3:00 | 58.55% | 25.93% | 15.52% | 2603 4:00 | 55.73% | 27.33% | 16.94% | 2049 5:00 | 56.10% | 26.95% | 16.96% | 1722 6:00 | 56.54% | 27.85% | 15.61% | 1537 7:00 | 58.54% | 25.99% | 15.48% | 1693 8:00 | 58.23% | 28.51% | 13.26% | 1968 9:00 | 60.52% | 25.23% | 14.25% | 2287 10:00 | 60.28% | 25.43% | 14.29% | 2379 11:00 | 62.50% | 22.59% | 14.91% | 2408 12:00 | 62.85% | 21.90% | 15.25% | 2393 Trend-wise, this is pretty much what you would expect. Strong board vote and Power Hour for Yoshi, who then dies off during the night and comes back strong in the morning. He also continues the trend of the winning character finishing the match with his strongest hour. Also to no one's surprise, Solaire and Demi-Fiend are strongest at night. X-Stats: Yoshi – 50.00% Solaire of Astora – 29.39% Demi-Fiend – 19.95% --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
And
speaking of X-Stats, this match says good things about Shepard.
According to Kain's 2004 stat, Shepard breaks 40% on Link...! --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
i
don't think that means much, i predicted Shepard to do better and Kain
to do worse than this and i have Shepard losing to Aeris --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
Using Olimar and Shepard breaks 20% on Link >_> --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 2/2 Today's Picks: Yoshi and Shepard |
yeah but Olimar's been behind SFF all this time...! --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Articuno2001 posted... The Leaderboard page has been updated, so we can all laugh at Devin_Morgan and see how many people have 0, 1, 2, or 3 bracket points. Damn Tingle getting third place. I'm beat today with Olimar getting more votes than anticipated too. :P --- Devin Morgan | CRP #3579 NES FAQ Completion Project: http://faqs.retronintendo.com |
have you purchased a Waluigi costume yet --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
Better get that Waluigi costume ready --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
In
2004 Kain would likely have beaten Olimar. Olimar would lose by a
decent bit to guys like Wario or Marth.... right? I don't think this
bodes that well for Shephard. Referring back to Gordon Freeman vs. Tina Armstrong (Tina won with 60%, who got more than triple by Aeris, suggesting TJF against Gordon), I'm guessing Juliet will do pretty well tomorrow. If Juliet scores a distant last, though, then I might be obligated to say that Gordon really WAS that weak in 2002. --- "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." |
Devin Morgan posted... Articuno2001 posted...The Leaderboard page has been updated, so we can all laugh at Devin_Morgan and see how many people have 0, 1, 2, or 3 bracket points. Don't worry I had Tingle in 2nd also; we can still come back! ...But I also had Olimar in 2nd so can't help you there --- This is my signature. |
Is the whole Waluigi bet based on the Bracket or Expert Challenge score? I'm guessing Bracket, but was it specified? --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Legacy
of Kain had a decent following from 2002-2004 with Raziel and Kain
being high fodder/borderline fodder, but no games since 2003 would kill
any non-Nintendo/Square character. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 2/2 Today's Picks: Yoshi and Shepard |
Don't know if I should bank the next match or not for Expert. Ugh. --- "This is a fantasy based on reality." DChemist |
Give us the match pics, Allen/Devin! --- "This is a fantasy based on reality." DChemist |
Dilated Chemist posted... Don't know if I should bank the next match or not for Expert. Ugh. I'm certainly doing no bets. I don't trust any of these characters. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
But
if you chance it and get it right for +6, you'll coast the next match
until the next debatable one (which is probably Draven/Jak but that one
seems easy to me). --- "This is a fantasy based on reality." DChemist |
A 3rd character that goes above 15%.Nice. --- 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'm
not banking. One reason is that I'm already behind, another reason is
that the first round can make or break your chances at winning. Sure
there will be a couple more debatable matches in round 2 & 3, but by
the time we reach the late rounds we should be able to get a clear
picture of how the strong characters will play out. Then you just have to risk it on the chance of a Link upset in the final round. --- http://i.imgur.com/32RNLnc.gif |
ZenOfThunder posted... http://img.gamefaqs.net/images/cbnine/battle/5147.jpg I have to admit, the "who the **** are these characters??" votes will probably go to Juliet with her impressive rack front and center. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
ctesjbuvf posted... With these votals, my tiebreaker looks pretty bad. Hopefully, votals will go up in later rounds as usual and there'll be some rallying for Snake/Cloud and then rallying for Link later in the match so that my tiebreaker will still look decent. Well, the later rounds are gonna last an entire day, right? Hopefully the vote total picks up when the more contested matches start. On another subject, go Hero. The 3-way split is exactly the type of situation that could benefit a character with such a generic name, creating a fad effect for non-FF fans while the FF fanbase splits the vote (in Aerith's favor, naturally). I still remember how L-Block won an entire tournament due to how generic it was. --- *sigh* Lemme get my TI-83+ ...WTF!?

L-Block won because it was a joke vote magnet. Hero, not so much. The Final Fantasy series is just so much stronger than Dragon Quest that I have no doubt that Hero will have to fight tooth and nail just to come in last. Voters will go with Aerith or Rinoa based on whether they prefer FF7 or FF8, then the diehard DQ fans will watch Hero drown in a pool of his own tears. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
I had Tiny Tina at first because Borderlands 2 >>>>> Fire Emblem >>>>> Lollipop Chainsaw. But then I read some of her lines. http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Tiny_Tina#Quotes Ugh… --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |

How is voting for a character named Hero not funny? It's like voting for yourself! You're the goddamn hero! --- *sigh* Lemme get my TI-83+ ...WTF!? Piece of trash!!*throws it away*~Rodri316 during his proof of why -4^2=16 All Hail BlAcK TuRtLe! |
So, here's the thing about Tharja: - She's from a 3DS game. - She's a random party member from said game... in a huge ensemble cast. - She's popular, but this also makes the already small FE:A audience be quite divided on whether they love or hate her. - Even in NintendoFAQs, how many people who haven't played FE:A know Tharja? Really now. Nintendrones can't just pick the Nintendo option since they won't even know who the Nintendo option is. Meanwhile, nobody knows Juliet and everybody knows BL2... but nobody actually likes Tina. I dunno, I feel like this match will literally be decided by something silly like TJF or who looks cooler in the picture because none of these characters are worth anything. --- Surskit Don't keep the lion in a coma. |
EvilNcr posted... Greyfeld posted... You can think it's funny all you want, it doesn't mean everybody else is going to see it the same way. I'm telling you right now that Hero isn't going to attract a joke vote. Especially not against double Final Fantasy. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
How is voting for a character named Hero not funny? It's like voting for yourself! You're the goddamn hero! But I would probably lose to Rinoa and Aerith... -_- |
LionInAComa posted... So, here's the thing about Tharja: Borderlands might be popular, but just how popular is it on Gamefaqs? That's the real question. It doesn't really strike me as the sort of game that gains widespread appeal on a website that heavily favors Nintendo and JRPGs. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
Greyfeld posted... LionInAComa posted...So, here's the thing about Tharja: Borderlands 2 won Game of the Year 2012 on this site --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
Argh. I'm still sticking with Tharja, but Juliet totally "pops" in that match pic. Of course Rinoa kind of does too, lol. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. |
Day vote is favoring Shepard. Kind of weird to think this is our first contest to track day trends when there's no ASV and having a start time of midnight. --- "I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now." |
superange128 posted... Greyfeld posted...LionInAComa posted...So, here's the thing about Tharja: Yeah, and Call of Duty won GOTY in 2009. That doesn't mean jack **** for character battles. (or games battles, for that matter) --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
Tiny Tina for the UPSET SPECIAL, just watch. |
