Keep in mind that Luster still thinks Europe is only a band. So 3 votes is pretty great.


XD at Nick. No, I don't think that.

#256 | Regaro_Ukiera | Posted 7/14/2013 6:39:52 AM | message detail
dude I expected this match to be close

is Dracula secretly strong or something

I mean Cain is obviously fodder of the highest order but weren't some people hyping Lucina as not awful

because I don't give Drac a shot at Barret next round, let alone Sonic but he's still putting up nearly 60%

Leave it to B8 to hype RPG characters who no one knows or cares about.

I'm just surprised people are so surprised at this result.

This board has such a ridiculous hivemind sometimes...

Have we found someone who can be weaker than Tanner?

i figured Dracula to be sub Alucard, but not by a whole lot. and Lucina to be somewhere around Neku or maybe a bit stronger... but clearly below Laharl.

if those are both true, that puts Caim a bit above Tanner, but definitely closer than any other character has come to being that weak.

I think this match has a chance to set a new record low in vote totals for a night match. Here is the current record for a night match:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/4536

At this point in time for the Crash/Pac-Man match, there were 19674 votes. While this one is currently at 19772 votes.

Due to Caim rising during the night Dracula would have to have Neku's strength for Tanner to be stronger than Caim.

Match XII: (9) Professor Layton vs. (10) Barret Wallace vs. (19) Reimu Hakurei

Previous Contest

Professor Layton – 2010
31.21% against Isaac

Barret Wallace – N/A
N/A

Reimu Hakurei – N/A
N/A

Analysis

The winner of the Nomination Rally Tournament makes his appearance in the contest. When I was younger I always though Barret Wallace was one of the strongest outside of Cloud and Sephiroth, but the board seem to think otherwise. Regardless of where he ranks among the Final Fantasy VII cast he should automatically have decent strength and given the opponents he could push for one of the largest blowouts of the contest.

It is amazing that characters like Layton could be favoured to finish ahead of someone. Isaac is not exactly a powerhouse yet he was able to double Layton in 2010. It is difficult to place him in second, but at the same time I have no faith in Reimu.

Reimu is the first of three Touhou characters and she will give us an insight to whether the trio are very low fodder or if they are in contention of being the weakest characters in the entire bracket. I feel that their small, but loyal fanbase will prevent them from being the worst characters.

The key word for Reimu is small and I think she will struggle to break 10% in the match. Barret on the other hand could be in the 60s given how weak these guys are. There is a large movement that Final Fantasy VII is weaker this contest and while we have stats for Layton it would be best to wait judgement for a later a match.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Barret Wallace > Professor Layton and Reimu Hakurei

charmander6000’s Prediction: Barret Wallace – 68.83%, Professor Layton – 22.36%, Reimu Hakurei – 8.81%

You know what I just realized was most impressive about Tanner? He got in when the field was only 64 characters. It took a field nearly 6 times as large in order for us to finally find someone who might, might, be able to score less than 60% on Tanner. I really think it's hard to comprehend just how completely awful Tanner's performance was.

if tiny tina managed to do even half-decently despite being a polarizing not-that-important npc with minimal rallying

is it possible that handsome jack has a chance to upset frog?

Hmm
I have the opinion that Chrono Trigger got very weak but even then Im not sure Frog will lose to Handsome Jack
He is pretty much the best villian in the last 5 years or something and is much more loved by the fans than Tina
However this is Borderlands 2 fans VS Chrono Trigger fans...and weak as it might be,CT is still more popular

I like how this Tanner dude is getting ripped on by all of us.

Looking him up...not only is he the main character of an entire series, but his first name is John and his series recently got revived with Driver: San Francisco. I say we get him into our next 243-character contest!


Worst argument ever (even for LMS). What if him name was Joe.... I mean Joe > John right?!?!

That was not an argument for anything. I just find it weird that we all call him Tanner and leave out his first name.

No, the fact that they're weak will take them down.

Aeris also underperformed if you look at her match objectively.
