Karma Hunter posted... ShatteredElysium posted...No. Says the oracle predictions where the absolutely overwhelming favorite is Morrigan and not even in a close fashion. So what exactly defines a debatable match then? One that you get wrong? --- It's like paying for bubble wrap. -transience on Final Fantasy: All the Bravest |
hawk533 posted... Kind of wishing I hadn't listened and changed to Morrigan > 47. Should have banked. Yes, other than that, the match is mostly playing out how I thought. Morrigan around the mid-40s, while Edge squeaks past 47 --- Now Awaiting: Tales of Xillia, Squigly patch for Skullgirls |
I hope 47 starts cutting soon. Or shooting. --- Pts: 19/19 Today's Picks: Sephiroth & Morrigan IX: Link-VV-BB-SS-Cloud-Sora-Samus-Mario-Zard |
Next match is the first match i'm worrying about the first place Probably Spyro since he is the most known but. 1.I have no idea about The Walking Dead popularity 2.Xenoblade as a game was too damn strong in the games contest but Dunban was pretty weak And I have no idea if Reyn>Dunban as I have not played the game and I don't know who is more popular (maybe one of them is even the main character,I dunno) 3.Is Skylanders part of the Spyro franchise? because I think Skylanders is popular |
Man,
if I hadn't of changed my bracket at the last minute I'd still have a
perfect. But I just had to be "different" and pick dumb upsets. Bleh. --- The Great GameFAQs Character Battle IX contest - 16/18 pts | Expert Challenge: 49/108 NP: Sephiroth > Midna > Little Mac |
I kind of want to wait until the picture comes out. Reyn looks like the kind of character that's not exactly photogenic. At least all the pictures I saw looked pretty stupid. Depending on how stupid he looks there I think I might put him last =\ --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
I
haven't played either Xenoblade or The Walking Dead, but I'm going to
guess that Reyn is just a member of an ensemble cast while I'd have to
imagine that Clementine is very prominent in her game. Again though, a little girl and a generic JRPG buff dude vs. a f***ing dragon. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
redrocket posted... Karma Hunter posted...ShatteredElysium posted...No. Says the oracle predictions where the absolutely overwhelming favorite is Morrigan and not even in a close fashion. I got this match correct; it was still debatable. The board will overwhelming support what they perceive to be even a minor consensus favorite. Take the last contest, for instance: Squall versus Auron. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3839 The board expected it to be a close, hard fought match. It *was* a close, hard fought match. Squall and Auron were close in the stats and looked similarly impressive. Squall was determined to have looked ever so slightly more impressive. The Oracle consensus? 80% for Squall, 20% for Auron. Get outta here with that talk. == sig |
Then00bAvenger posted... I kind of want to wait until the picture comes out. Pretty much how I felt when I looked him up so that I could write my guest analysis well. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Karma Hunter posted... redrocket posted...Karma Hunter posted...ShatteredElysium posted...No. Says the oracle predictions where the absolutely overwhelming favorite is Morrigan and not even in a close fashion. There's one problem here. This isn't a close match. Morrigan is blowing these chumps away. --- It's like paying for bubble wrap. -transience on Final Fantasy: All the Bravest |
KamikazePotato posted... Spyro is up against two really good characters. He's going to win, but I hope he doesn't. I'm playing TWD right now. Clem's cool but Spyro deserves this after that 2002 embarrassment. --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
Spyro wins a match. SPYRO! 2002-2013, took long enough. Fodder-line. GameFAQs voters are... pedophiles. Clem time. Zombies. Reyn wins. LOL Who the **** is Reyn? Oh, from Xenoblade. --- Pts: 19/19 Today's Picks: Sephiroth & Morrigan IX: Link-VV-BB-SS-Cloud-Sora-Samus-Mario-Zard |
Ehhh,
I secretly had Edgeworth second. There was too much of a trend of
action characters bombing, and him only being in because of the large
pool sealed the deal for me. --- "i am pretty sure 3-year old children would generate more thoughtful discussion than board 8 on any topic of sexism" - Naye745 |
Next match will be my first miss I believe. --- 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~ |
redrocket posted... There's one problem here. This isn't a close match. Morrigan is blowing these chumps away. You're being dense now. Debatable matches need not in any capacity be close matches. Or don't you remember Vincent/Kerrigan? == sig |
Karma Hunter posted... redrocket posted...There's one problem here. This isn't a close match. Morrigan is blowing these chumps away. Why was it debateable again? |
Nanis23 posted... Karma Hunter posted...redrocket posted...There's one problem here. This isn't a close match. Morrigan is blowing these chumps away. And so we come full circle. == sig |
Karma Hunter posted... redrocket posted...Karma Hunter posted...ShatteredElysium posted...No. Says the oracle predictions where the absolutely overwhelming favorite is Morrigan and not even in a close fashion. Except there's a big difference between your example and todays match. Your example. 80/20 but everyone predicting 51/49 Today's match. 95/5 and everyone predicting 62/38 (effectively if it was 1 vs 1 between Morrigan/Edgeworth) --- Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time |
Karma Hunter posted... The Oracle consensus? 80% for Squall, 20% for Auron. Get outta here with that talk. The 'oracle consensus' isn't just how many people pick what character, but also what they pick them by. Pretty sure the consensus was something like "Squall with 53%" which is pretty close. Can't check exactly what it was though. That would be a useful stat to put on the oraclechallenge website, to be honest... --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Morrigan should raise a couple of % after the Power Hour. Edgeworth and Agent 47 is gonna be close still, I think. Blind hope I suppose, though it would be pretty epic to see a Hitman comeback and assassinate a prosecutor in the last minutes. --- Pts: 19/19 Today's Picks: Sephiroth & Morrigan IX: Link-VV-BB-SS-Cloud-Sora-Samus-Mario-Zard |
Karma Hunter posted... redrocket posted...There's one problem here. This isn't a close match. Morrigan is blowing these chumps away. You literally just gave an example of a close match, and emphasized through your whole post how close it was, to prove that it was debatable in spite of a large Oracle consensus. --- It's like paying for bubble wrap. -transience on Final Fantasy: All the Bravest |
Karma Hunter posted... Nanis23 posted...Karma Hunter posted...redrocket posted...There's one problem here. This isn't a close match. Morrigan is blowing these chumps away. Oh yeah I read Ulti analys on the wiki This is stupid |

thank you thank you i'll be making tjf pics all contest season --- ~Zen |
ZenOfThunder posted... thank you thank you catgirl lightning please --- i'll do rydia -Dante |
Clem tjf pics pls --- You know who's sexy? Black Turtle, the 2010 Games Contest Guru Winner, that's who! |
i had a dream that Bacon picked Cloud Cosplay Lightning and all our brackets fell apart catgirl lightning sounds like a better idea --- ~Zen |
ShatteredElysium posted... Except there's a big difference between your example and todays match. I cited an extreme example to demonstrate the pure consistency of the groupthink. If your intent is to have me admit that Morrigan winning today's match was less debatable than Squall winning against Auron, I will freely offer that (although even in THAT match you had the winning side expressing 'shock' that Squall winning was ever debated). A match need not be as even as Squall//Auron to qualify as 'debatable'. Results like Link > fodder and Morrigan > Edgeworth aren't even in the same ballpark. == sig |
Would Phoenix Wright be winning here or no? --- Pts: 19/19 Today's Picks: Sephiroth & Morrigan IX: Link-VV-BB-SS-Cloud-Sora-Samus-Mario-Zard |
Probably. I dunno what UMvC3 SFF would do to the both of them. --- ~Zen |
I feel like just counting all the veterans who have fallen so far and what contest they debuted in. Tingle - Summer 2006 Captain Olimar - Summer 2003 Kain - Summer 2004 Jak - Summer 2004 Yuri Lowell - Winter 2010 Fei Fong Wong - Fall 2008 Professor Layton - Fall 2008 Marth - Summer 2007 Nightmare - Summer 2007 KOS-MOS - Summer 2003 Heavy - Summer 2008 Frank West - Summer 2007 Meta-Knight - Summer 2007 Midna - Summer 2007 Little Mac - Summer 2002 Miles Edgeworth - Summer 2007 Agent 47 - Summer 2005 I guess the reason why I've been tracking this is because I've been reading up the contest histories for all of these characters as they've lost, including reading the analyses for every match they've been in. It feels rather odd to be reading analyses of pre-2007 matches, almost as if 2007 marked the beginning of a new era for contests. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
LinkMarioSamus posted...
I know right There are so many things that now seems so obvious but were debateable then |
What I learned today: the French are the horniest people in the world, followed by the Brazilian. |
LinkMarioSamus posted... I feel like just counting all the veterans who have fallen so far and what contest they debuted in. What are you saying? Tingle, Olimar, Kain, Jak, Layton, and more on that list were fodder when they started. Heck, some of the guys in your list are stronger now than when they debuted. I honestly have no idea what you're trying to say here. |
Also the British seem to love Agent 47 for some reason. James Bond? |
So out of 246 Gurus 107 got Spyro first 108 got Clementine first 30 got Reyn first I guess Reyn lock for 3rd place and Spyro and Clementine can be anything? |
None of those three is a lock for any position. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif |
I have Reyn in my bracket, but I really wish I didn't. I'm feeling Spyro > Clem > Reyn is the most likely outcome. --- Bracket score: 18 / Expert score: 90 |
Clem > Reyn > Spyro --- *shrug* |
Ultimaphazon posted... I have Reyn in my bracket, but I really wish I didn't. I'm feeling Spyro > Clem > Reyn is the most likely outcome. How do you have any gauge on the Walking Dead's strength? I feel like we'll get Spyro > Reyn, though Dunban didn't do any worse on Vincent than I think Spyro would have. I have no idea where Clem is going to end up. I'm putting her on the bottom because she's a child, but she could win for all I know. --- Bracket Pts: 19/20 Expert Pts: 76 Today's Picks: Spyro > Reyn & Luigi > Balthier |
Karma Hunter posted... ShatteredElysium posted...No. Says the oracle predictions where the absolutely overwhelming favorite is Morrigan and not even in a close fashion. Except to have a debatable match...you kind of literally have to have some debate. Like, there was literally no debate on who was winning this match. Morrigan was always considered the clear choice for #1. If there was any debate it was trivial and probably hipster-style "want to be different!" stuff. The debate in this match was all about Edgey and 47. Now that was very much debated, lots of talk about it and nobody seemed to have much confidence in either guy. But I never saw anybody seriously thinking Edgey or 47 would beat Morrigan. This was expected to be the beatdown it is. --- |
I have Reyn in my bracket. But I think I'm going Spyro > Clem > Reyn, unfortunately. I got a 0 for today's match for thinking 47 > Edgey. Can't be getting -6 for the next match. But if Reyn wins lol --- Pts: 20/20 Today's Picks: Reyn & Luigi IX: Link-VV-BB-SS-Cloud-Sora-Samus-Mario-Zard |
The next match is a complete toss-up. I have absolutely no idea who will win and neither does anyone else. Pretty sure Reyn will be 3rd though. Going with bank-bank-Reyn in my Expert. 1 single point FTW! --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
creativename posted... The next match is a complete toss-up. I have absolutely no idea who will win and neither does anyone else. LOL That's exactly what I was thinking and what I have in my Expert pick. --- Pokemon Showdown Peak Ranking OU: 2004 And then lost 7 matches in a row >_> |
TheOneAboveAll posted... LinkMarioSamus posted...I feel like just counting all the veterans who have fallen so far and what contest they debuted in. It has nothing to do with any of these specific characters. I meant more how odd it feels to be reading analyses of pre-2007 contest matches, making it seem as if the 2007 contest was the beginning of a new era for GameFAQs contests. In all honesty, that sounds about right to me. I'll just admit right now that I randomly stumbled on the Wiki one fine day in Summer 2008 and...pretty much got hooked right from there. I ended up reading through every contest analysis right there, and eventually caught the Fall 2008 contest right as it was taking place. I then came to this board so that I could do more with the Spring 2009 contest, and the rest is history. That being said, the main point I wanted to make was that in Summer 2008 six contests had yet to take place including this ongoing one, so back then it felt like the pre-2007 matches were the norm. Now that era just feels weird to read about interspersed with all the 2007 and later stuff. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
creativename posted... The next match is a complete toss-up. I have absolutely no idea who will win and neither does anyone else. Can't wait to hear the reactions if this match turns out to be a blow-out for any of the characters. --- Bracket Pts: 19/20 Expert Pts: 76 Today's Picks: Spyro > Reyn & Luigi > Balthier |

Morrigan was always considered the clear choice for #1. If there was any debate it was trivial and probably hipster-style "want to be different!" stuff. This is your trademark tunnel vision at work here - your assertion is demonstrably false. You may want to play revisionist history now and say there was no debate over a character we hadn't seen in twelve years win this match without doubt, but a quick glance at pre-battle discussions prove otherwise. == sig |
hawk533 posted... creativename posted...The next match is a complete toss-up. I have absolutely no idea who will win and neither does anyone else. why was this match debated, [X] was the obvious choice == sig |
Karma Hunter posted... hawk533 posted...creativename posted...The next match is a complete toss-up. I have absolutely no idea who will win and neither does anyone else. You're just being completely silly just for the heck of it now, aren't you? Virtually all the debate about this match was for 2nd. The Oracle consensus had Morrigan in a blowout. Any discussion about #1 here was trivial, and would only be considered "debatable" if you considered discussion of any kind to be debatable. Almost all of us were confident Morrigan had this easily. You're the one trying to revise history here. Oracle consensus=blowout. Most discussion centered on 2nd. Edgey and 47 were both considered low level fodder by all, thus Morrigan was the heavy favorite by default. Not because we had confidence in the strength of a character not seen in 12 years. But because we knew her opponents were so goddamned weak there was very little chance she could blow this. When there's a heavy favorite, and that favorite is expected to win in blowout fashion, you simply cannot call that debatable. This is not to say that when there's no debate people can't be wrong (Knuckles/Magus). But people weren't wrong, they expected Morrigan to trounce these clowns and that's exactly what happened. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
