If
anything should be giving confidence to people taking Crash >
Wheatley, it's that modern characters have almost always struggled, if
not outright bombed. Even the premier modern character couldn't manage a
doubling on Captain Olimar, who is all-but confirmed to be bad fodder. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
kinsho3 posted... Not sure why you guys are so quick to calling this one over. Not until Jak hits the 500 vote barrier here. Keep in mind that Tiny Tina was down by several hundred votes yesterday. Well, Chie has to start doing some stalls soon. At this rate it'll be over well before we get into the late hours. |
This definitely makes me feel good about my Spyro upset. I took Wheatley, but had Crash for awhile. bah gawd Jak --- The Great GameFAQs Character Battle IX contest - 5/6 pts | Expert Challenge: 14/36 NP: Draven > Jak > Chie Satonaka |
I
don't think it's over and Chie will probably make some cuts overnight,
but this isn't non-main Fire Emblem character here. Jak is a
recognizable icon type of character. Granted he is not abundantly
popular, but he will suck up casual votes far, far, far more easily than
Tharja. I'm not even sure who the casual vote would have gone to in
that match; in this match, it's very clear who it will go to. --- Still smilin' :> |
At this point, I'm pretty sure Daxter would beat Draven. --- Still smilin' :> |

Even the premier modern character couldn't manage a doubling on Captain Olimar, who is all-but confirmed to be bad fodder. I took Crash without a second thought in that match and have no idea why people took otherwise. He has never looked that bad in a contest and Wheatley will be far, far weaker than GlaDOS. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
Wow Draven is trash --- Tornadoman78: tornadoman and tornadogirl like to kick box each other in my tornaolayzers and she dosent even mind getting hit |
Over. Holy f***. --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, Rest in peace Kazbar :( |
Yeah
Jak is destroying right now. It would take a mighty effort to come back
now as he's showing no signs of slowing down at the moment. He'll
easily breach 500 in less than an hour. --- Still smilin' :> |
I thought Draven was practically a lock for last but... I didn't think it would be this bad --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

Even the premier modern character couldn't manage a doubling on Captain Olimar, who is all-but confirmed to be bad fodder. This match makes me feel better about picking Crash > Wheatley. We have Jak easily winning today's match. There is a parallel between Jak and Crash - they are both PlayStation platformer characters from 2 different generations. Crash is stronger than Jak and the night match will benefit Crash, since he is very strong in Europe. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Am I the only one who thinks that Wheatley looking like one of GlaDOS' cores will help him out? --- http://img.imgcake.com/whatisurnameplz/kermitgifre.gif http://www.gamnesia.com/ |

Crash > Jax but Wheatley >>>> Draven and Chie but Wheatley is my favorite character ever... so it might be a bias on my part... Seriously the funniest character ever --- Congratulation to SuperNiceDog. Guru Champ and Rivalry Rumble Master |
Yep, this match is over. |
This first round is really pissing me off. I would have been better off just banking and getting that third zero in a row. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
So, does Lightning have a chance against Zelda/Charizard? --- Points: 6/6 Today's Picks: Draven & Ryu (SF) ===DChemist=== |
First wrong pick in the contest. --- Points: 6/6 Today's Picks: Draven & Ryu (SF) ===DChemist=== |
Dilated Chemist posted... So, does Lightning have a chance against Zelda/Charizard? I'm a big FFXIII fan but I don't see Zard losing this one --- Congratulation to SuperNiceDog. Guru Champ and Rivalry Rumble Master |
These crazy gains by Jak are so much fun. --- Still smilin' :> |
The scariest thing about this match is that it could be much worse if it was a day match. I'd expect Jak to do even better then. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
I
told myself that I wouldn't look at the results page for at least an
hour so that I wouldn't jump to hasty conclusions based on early
results. I can now breathe a happy sigh of relief that my prediction was
correct. I had Jak winning in my Bracket and Jak > Chie > Draven in my Expert Challenge. I really needed that +6 in order to recover and still have a shot in this contest. I was never confident in Draven, but I wasn't really that confident in Chie, either. I guess Persona has a bigger fanbase than LoL on GameFAQs. --- http://i.imgur.com/6OHUIst.jpg |
Draven getting doubled is hilarious. --- Character Battle IX: 6/6 points, Next matches: Chie, Ryu http://backloggery.com/articuno2001/sig.gif |
it's kind of sad when jak is at 43%. man is there a lot of fodder this year |
So,
what do you guys think of Phoenix v. Marth? My bracket has Phoenix,
but the more I think about it, the more I'm thinking I should have taken
Marth to win that match. They're really close to each other on the 2010 x-stats, and Phoenix has hype surrounding his upcoming new title, but I can't help but feel like Marth's strength keeps getting stuck behind JRPG SFF. And Phoenix has never been exceptionally consistent. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
Whoa. How did Draven win the board vote, while Chie lost it...? I mean I could figure bracket/expert votes helped Draven, but I don't know how the hell a Personal character loses the board vote. This board LOVES Persona. |
whatisurnameplz posted... Am I the only one who thinks that Wheatley looking like one of GlaDOS' cores will help him out? Yeah, his design will help voters make an instant connection to Portal in a way that GLaDOS's first contest appearances failed to do so. Also, it helps that he appears on screen in the introduction of Portal 2, unlike Gladdy in the 1st game. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
creativename posted... Whoa. How did Draven win the board vote, while Chie lost it...? Bracket votes in a debated match, I'm sure. --- Wii Fit Trainer MASTER RACE |
Anyone
else expecting the average Expert Challenge score for this match to be
negative? I think the aggregate scores will decline because of this
match. I feel like Expert brackets were likely all over the place, and
in a random ordering the expectation is negative points. BTW, what do people feel like with Shepard vs. Aeris now that we've seen both in action? I feel like doubling Hero while getting LFFed (perhaps badly) by Rinoa is more impressive than doubling Olimar. Olimar is trash. But then, we have no idea how strong Hero is. He also could be trash, though IMO he is above being turbofodder. Just plain fodder. So I'm feeling somewhat confident in Aeris at the moment. Ytterbium_70 posted... creativename posted...Whoa. How did Draven win the board vote, while Chie lost it...? Well yes as I said that could explain Draven, but it doesn't really explain Chie losing the board vote. That's the most surprising aspect of the match to me (and I had Draven in my bracket...but him being turbofodder isn't surprising at all). |
I
should have researched Draven and LoL more. In retrospect, picking a
PC-only character in a massive ensemble cast of a game comparable to WoW
over a semi-recognizable character was a terrible idea. Greyfeld posted... So, what do you guys think of Phoenix v. Marth? My bracket has Phoenix, but the more I think about it, the more I'm thinking I should have taken Marth to win that match. I really want Phoenix to win and was completely indecisive right before the contest start, so I took Marth. Either Phoenix wins a match or I get a point. Win-win. Same logic as the finale: Either Link doesn't win or I get 81 points. --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
I
don't know why everyone is writing off Olimar. He's been stuck behind
Nintendo SFF in every prior contest appearance, and had so much going
for him in that match. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
lol draven --- Jon Thomson - HKP: 179, 180's: 16, top kill: 160 congrats supernicedog |
FFDragon posted... lol LoL you and me both brudda Shouldve known Noxus would turn out to be ****. Urgot and --- Oh SuperNiceDog's doing it again dude. SuperNiceDog, you ain't no pimp dude |
Oh my god Draven sucks so much I don't know,I didn't check Jak match history but from memory I rememeber he was pretty terrible and lost like everything To see a character from the most played game in the world losing to someone like that... Well,at least I have Chie second place so only -4 points yay... Though,bye bye perfect bracket |
OK,what would happen if Riot done a in-game rallying? When you enter the game and then some window pops up - "Vote for Draven in GameFaqs Character Battle!" linking to the poll? |
Nanis23 posted... OK,what would happen if Riot done a in-game rallying? While we're talking about things that would never happen, what would YOU do if you had a million dollars? --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
Greyfeld posted... Nanis23 posted...OK,what would happen if Riot done a in-game rallying? You could say the same thing about Gordon Freeman on GameSpot's character battle. What's the difference? --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
Chie didn't lose the board vote. When I voted, she was winning and it was something like Draven 15 Chie 33 Jak 20. Also, CREATIVENAAAAAAAAAAAME --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best Game Ever" Contest http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, Rest in peace Kazbar :( |
Greyfeld posted... Nanis23 posted...OK,what would happen if Riot done a in-game rallying? Well,this is the only company in the contest that can do something like that I guess Valve can do something like that too when you open Steam,but Valve is a big company that doesn't care about those kind of things Riot? go figure... |
Jak's up by over 1000 now. |
I feel like we should have seen this coming a bit clearer I mean, I asked multiple LoL players and they all said they would never vote Draven over Jak people don't blindly vote. it's weird how we think the casuals are all morons, but they really do value character over exposure --- ~Zen |
I think Draven might be getting a rally here. He's already cut 64 votes off a 1458 vote lead. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

Wait, LoLers will actually leave their game to come vote? --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |

-LusterSoldier- posted... Draven rallies spotted. Are they being effective yet? --- "Taken 2 would probably be good because it's Taken 2 and Liam Neeson doesn't know who you are but he will find you and get you laid." -Silvercross |
Draven is picking up some %s, but even Chie seems uncatchable now. --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
Apparently yes, Draven has shaved 250 votes of Chie in 30 minutes --- "Taken 2 would probably be good because it's Taken 2 and Liam Neeson doesn't know who you are but he will find you and get you laid." -Silvercross |
AlecTrevelyan006 posted... Are they being effective yet? Oh, the rallies are definitely being effective. Draven has cut off about 250 votes from Chie's lead so far. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Lead peaked at 1455 half a hour ago,now 1203 But those rallies won't help more than that |
Jak isn't slowing down. He's still going to win. But Chie seems to be getting hurt. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
