Who
would rally against a girl who loves meat and can kick tanks and giant
robots into orbit. Rallying could do anything and LoL is pretty popular
off this site at least. I don't think it'll be a huge victory for Draven
if he wins like some people think though. I expect it to be about as
close as Tharja/Juliet/Tina. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
Many people believed that Tiny Tina was not well-liked with fans of Borderlands 2. Yeah, she almost came in 1st. --- "This is a fantasy based on reality." DChemist |
I find it hard to understand why people like FFVIII But I find it impossible to understand why people like Rinoa YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE ME Oh god worst FF character ever |
Almost came in first because the other 2 characters were weaker than we expected. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Dear
lord the things you can learn from these maps. Hero is currently
winning 6/50 states. Also, a vote was cast from Tanzania before a vote
was cast from New Hampshire, which is the only state that has yet to
vote. --- This is my signature. |
I was joking about PS All Stars, but it is pretty impressive that half the characters from that game are in the contest: Big daddy Cole Dante Drake Isaac C. Jak Kat Kratos Raiden Ratchet Sackboy Sly I don't think Kat gets in without that for sure. If you count Cole/Evil Cole as one character, then 12/23 made it in. Too bad Sweet Tooth has never been in a contest. |
Like
honestly if Draven were rallied against a character that was actually
popular like say Link I could see Link's percentage actually going up
from the rally. Draven's only in the contest because the League
fanbase couldn't decide on a character the fanbase actually likes and
fell back on the meme guy(s). Thing is people don't actually like
the character. In fact the meme is almost like, negative, because it's
kinda about the guy being OP (which means most people hate him unless
they play him) Only reason I think he has a chance is because well who cares about the other two. A Draven rally might work just because "who are these other two" --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Do you know anyone who is a big Jak fan? --- "This is a fantasy based on reality." DChemist |
Do you know anyone who is a big Tiny Tina fan? Neither do I --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
All
the intangibles point to a Draven Victory. I have Jak in my bracket,
but at this point I'm convinced that a rally will win it for Draven. --- SC2K13 Bracket: -0 Next upset: Jak > Draven/Chie (gonna be close) Expert Challenge: -3 Gave Tina credit, but not enough! Oracle: Team Frog and Magus |
So, Draven slightly edges out Jak. Really though, Chie could pull an upset and take 2nd. --- "This is a fantasy based on reality." DChemist |
Just chiming in with Chris to say that DQV is amazing and so is Hero. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
DoctorJimmy133 posted... LoL is the #3 game on the site. No. --- "i am pretty sure 3-year old children would generate more thoughtful discussion than board 8 on any topic of sexism" - Naye745 |
I'm
going with Chie out of pure fanboyism. But I went with Tharja due to
the same reason and I went with Hero in 2nd due to my strong anti-FF8
sentiment, so I'm feeling good about it. |
i have Draven in last atm. going for 3 matches in a row of 0 points despite picking in all of them. --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
So 2 things. 1)How many people fell of the leaderboard? 2)First match that the lower seed is winning. --- 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~ |
MarioSuperstar posted... DoctorJimmy133 posted...LoL is the #3 game on the site. Yes. You can argue how much this means, but it's true. --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
DoctorJimmy133 posted... MarioSuperstar posted...DoctorJimmy133 posted...LoL is the #3 game on the site. Being on the most popular game list doesn't mean squat in these contests. People have used that excuse for years and it's never amounted to anything. Top FAQs an Top Hits don't relate to how popular the game is relative to other games. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/4779 This is more of an accurate representation of what to possibly expect from this game in terms of actual play rate. It's probably not as low as that now, though. --- "i am pretty sure 3-year old children would generate more thoughtful discussion than board 8 on any topic of sexism" - Naye745 |
[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster] |
Chie for 1st. Who's doing it? --- "This is a fantasy based on reality." DChemist |
And
to add on to that, not many PC characters have hope in doing much in
these contests. Gordon Freeman is the best we have. Everything weaker
has been fodderline at best. Diablo carried the game's name at least. --- "i am pretty sure 3-year old children would generate more thoughtful discussion than board 8 on any topic of sexism" - Naye745 |
DoctorJimmy133 posted... MarioSuperstar posted...DoctorJimmy133 posted...LoL is the #3 game on the site. That depends entirely on how you mean that statement. I mean if someone were to ask "What's the #1 game on this site" I don't think the right answer is "Animal Crossing: New Leaf" in the context of contest discussion. It's "Ocarina of Time." --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Dilated Chemist posted... Chie for 1st. Who's doing it? My currently perfect negative bracket. |
swordz9 posted... I might even play DQV if it has a big amazon price drop again. The P3&4 silent protagonist trio are my favorite silent protagonist, but then again there aren't a whole lot I really care about anyways. Worth the $40 it's going for on Amazon. Can't get a better DS, or 3DS, game. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Dilated Chemist posted... Chie for 1st. Who's doing it? I am. Expert Challenge I currently am banking on, we'll see if that changes. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
MarioSuperstar posted... DoctorJimmy133 posted...MarioSuperstar posted...DoctorJimmy133 posted...LoL is the #3 game on the site. My point was that the game has an active fanbase that could rally for Draven, and as we have seen today, rallies can put you over in close matches. I'm not arguing that masses of casuals are going for Draven. And again, you said "no" as if to indicate that it was not the #3 game on the site, which is false. No need to strawman me. --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
I've
got Chie winning. I think P4's fanbase on the site is just barely
enough to put her over Jak, who lost to Lloyd a few years ago. Should
be close though. Draven's going to be a joke and will probably struggle to break 25%. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7f_HsjpSVaI --- "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 |
Wow okay, I thought Hero was a b8 thing and destined to fail. So what, will Spring Breeze Dancin' pull these shenanigans too? --- ... as if rights are like muscles - the more you use it, the better it gets. Indeed he may be exercising his first amendment-- but he's an IDIOT! - A. Scalia |
When
you said "it's a matter of whether LoL fans care about Draven or not" I
was under the impression that you literally thought it was the #3 game
of the site in popularity. Even if LoL fans did care, Draven could still lose, because it's not the #3 most popular game overall on the site. It's just the most searched game. Big difference especially when it comes to actual play rate. --- "i am pretty sure 3-year old children would generate more thoughtful discussion than board 8 on any topic of sexism" - Naye745 |
I
don't see the deal with Draven, other than being from League of
Legends, which doesn't seem like the sort of game that GameFAQs would
take to. A PC exclusive MOBA isn't part of the typical wheelhouse for
this site. Jak is kind of whatever - he's so far removed from being
relevant and I don't know anyone who actually loves the guy. Chie always
seemed like the right choice for that match. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Can someone link me to the expert challenge leader boards? I can't find them on mobile --- I keep coming back here where everything... slipped Ahhahhahaa |
I
think Draven's 3 Seed has a lot of people psychologically freaked out,
when all is means is that he got a rally on a forum during the
nomination period. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
IngmarBirdman posted... Wow okay, I thought Hero was a b8 thing and destined to fail. Wouldn't that be great? --- Nominate Spring Breeze Dancin' from Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon for Character Battle IX! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJrnlFW4IMc |
OlDirtyNumbers posted... Can someone link me to the expert challenge leader boards? I can't find them on mobile They're on the same page as the bracket challenge leaderboards. I don't think there is a separate link. But here's that link just in case: http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/cb9_leaderboard --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

If
Draven was a character with a good design that the fanbase actually
liked like Garen I'd be more inclined to back him. There's definitely
potential for a league character to be able to beat a couple of fodder
characters. I just don't think Draven is the guy, though. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
ZFS posted... swordz9 posted...I might even play DQV if it has a big amazon price drop again. The P3&4 silent protagonist trio are my favorite silent protagonist, but then again there aren't a whole lot I really care about anyways. That's more than twice what I'd want to pay for a game in a series I haven't enjoyed much. Between 3, 4, 7 and 8 the only one I have liked is 8 and 4&8 are the only ones I finished. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |

There's definitely potential for a league character to be able to beat a couple of fodder characters. I just don't think Draven is the guy, though. Why didn't they nominate Garen then? --- It's like paying for bubble wrap. -transience on Final Fantasy: All the Bravest |
The
LoL fanbase definitely likes Draven, but it's in that 'fan favorite'
way and not an 'icon' way. I probably would've taken Garen there, yeah,
but not Draven. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

What was it that made 8 enjoyable for you? --- It's like paying for bubble wrap. -transience on Final Fantasy: All the Bravest |
The
reason I picked Jak over Chie was because P4 can be divisive with its
female characters. You're talking about an ensemble cast to begin with,
but then you have to realize that even fans of P4 may vote against Chie
because they shipped Yukiko or Rise or Naoto. You're not just dealing
with the character as a Persona 4 proxy, but also as a shipping proxy. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
redrocket posted... What was it that made 8 enjoyable for you? Compared to the others it being 3D and having voice acting helped. Also had characters I liked enough to say I like them. Basically it felt more like the JRPGs I like than the other DQs do I guess. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
People
on this board are seriously underestimating Draven. He has a better
chance of winning his round 2 match then he does of losing his round 1
match. Also I'm fairly certain Draven is at absolute worst in the top 10% of champions as far as who would do well in this contest. I can't think of many that would do better then him except like Ashe or something --- This is my signature. |
People
didn't nominate Garen because Draven has the meme and Garen doesn't.
There was squabbling over which League guy to back so yeah the ones with
the memes were the fallbacks. Draven and Teemo aren't the two strongest LoL offerings though. Probably not even top 10, though honestly once you get past the first few the strength difference is gonna be minor anyway. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Rinoa starting to make cuts? --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
Hero keeps suffering from cuts. He's down 31 votes in 15 minutes. That's no good. --- Nominate Spring Breeze Dancin' from Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon for Character Battle IX! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJrnlFW4IMc |
I'm surprised people didn't try to get a female like Ahri or Sona in. Boobs would help, I think. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
I
wish I liked the DQ series, I really do. But it always felt like they
slapped a fist full of anime stereotypes onto 2-dimensional characters,
then shoved them into a pretty world where the bulk of the game is spent
grinding out experience points. I don't mind a game with stereotypes... or grinding... as long as the story or characters are interesting, and the gameplay is fun. But when neither of those things are true, it makes it hard to care. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
Dilated Chemist posted... Many people believed that Tiny Tina was not well-liked with fans of Borderlands 2. Yet more fuel on the fire for Vaas to beat out his group of turbocrap. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
Hey Play Dragon Quest V --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
