SubDeity posted... Why do people talk about EVO being a factor here? I can't imagine more than 10-15% of voters watch it, let alone stuff besides MvC and SF. I just don't think it matters at all. This is what annoys you...? "Project X Zone boost" and "Marth being mentioned at Awakening boost" are worse |
Safer_777 posted... 1)His opponents turned up to be really weak though. There's no evidence of this. We should wait until round 2. Spyro could do well, maybe even beat Morrigan. 2)Layton is known to everyone while Barret is is from FF VII and doesn't appear anywhere else.Also he is black,thus racist faqs.Plus he ended up above 50% so that is good. I stopped believing in RacistFAQs as soon as Vince and Seph disappointed. 3)Chester is from an indie game and only got here because a guy from Board 8 made it.What did you expected? Great reading comprehension there, buddy. --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |

Those are all the worst pics goddamn Except CATS. CATS lookin' good. |
OK
let me take that back, Punished Snake and Viridian look good. But the
rest, dang. I kinda want to blame the format because it doesn't help at
all but Bacon must have terrible pic taste. |
Big Boss could stand to look more Snakey but it won't matter anyway. Locke gets...what is that from again? It almost looks like the N64 concept art, heh. For some reason the Elizabeth pic doesn't instill much confidence in her --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Thrall staring at dem boobs That Elizabeth pic isn't my favorite, but Thrall looks even worse so it pans out Peacock packing heat, it's over Viridian --- You know who's sexy? Black Turtle, the 2010 Games Contest Guru Winner, that's who! |
Then00bAvenger posted... Big Boss could stand to look more Snakey but it won't matter anyway. My thoughts precisely (minus Punished Snake not being awesome). I'm amazed the picture picked was not 'classical' Elizabeth with the short black hair and dress. |
I thought Poison would have pic advantage but man bad pic for her. I mean I guess she still does because the other two are so bad but yeah --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
KanzarisKelshen posted... My thoughts precisely (minus Punished Snake not being awesome) Well it still looks cool but it doesn't benefit as much from "Hey, this looks like Solid Snake" factor --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

Over half of the perfects get the match wrong while those 3 to 7 points out nearly reach 70% in terms of prediction percentage. 24 people fell off the Top 49. Former first place -LusterSoldier-, former second place 3-ways, Achromatic, ALAKA, Almerith, Ambertwo, Amyson, anime29, arachnidkid, aznchaos3, BaronvonPanda, Baseman, Carriacou, codebreaker177, creativename, CWFinady, DantheSage, DarkFalconX, dethfdddddh, Devin_Morgan, Doooooooooougie, Dragon66116, Durandi and the Board Odds Project consensus bracket Board8_BOP did not have Spyro winning. SBAllen also loses his perfect on this match but he wasn't on the Top 49. --- Pokemon VGC2013 BC Regional - 16th place Pokemon VGC2013 US National - 39th place |
SubDeity posted... Why do people talk about EVO being a factor here? I can't imagine more than 10-15% of voters watch it, let alone stuff besides MvC and SF. I just don't think it matters at all. ~250,000 people watched EVO, a couple thousand more were there in Vegas to play. It's not a trivial number. --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? [HERO'S PLUNGE] http://img.imgcake.com/finegifdy.gif |
That is pretty trivial, actually. That's less than the sales of plenty of fodderific games. --- "Hamas isn't really a terror organization." -Terran [Evil Republican] Play Der Langrisser. |
If a game sold 250k in like 2 or 3 days then that'd be pretty significant for a character's strength I think. I mean I'm not saying EVO is going to be a big factor or not here I'm just saying that comparing viewership of an event to a game that sells 250k lifetime is a bit silly. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Then00bAvenger posted... Big Boss could stand to look more Snakey but it won't matter anyway. Eh, I think at this point, everyone knows who he really is (and how badass he is). I think if anything, his MGS5 design may help him since it's really flippin sexy. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/NQTthNf.jpg |
Viridian is so screwed. So much pink in the Kirby/Terra/Peach picture. Eesh. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
Speaking of which, has Big Boss ever gotten a Naked Snake picture? Seems like they've been avoiding that. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
yesss dance puppets dance to the power of my Peacock pic --- ~Zen |
Lopen posted... If a game sold 250k in like 2 or 3 days then that'd be pretty significant for a character's strength I think. Well, compare it to a tv show that gets 250k viewers, then. Also, keep in mind that just because somebody watched EVO doesn't mean they saw a game like Skullgirls or learned the characters. Most probably just watched stuff like Street Fighter. It's just such a minuscule blip I can't see making a difference at all. --- "Hamas isn't really a terror organization." -Terran [Evil Republican] Play Der Langrisser. |
He's
gotten Naked Snake quite a few times. He got an amazing Naked Snake
picture back in the first 4way contest (2007) in a debated match against
Magus. Snake was the underdog in most people's brackets but utilized
the pic advantage and shredded Magus. He did the same against Kirby in
the 2008 4way contest. http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/albums/cb6/thumb_cb6-38.jpg http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/albums/cb7/cb7-25.jpg --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/gdl8lcn.jpg |
Then00bAvenger posted... Speaking of which, has Big Boss ever gotten a Naked Snake picture? Seems like they've been avoiding that. uhhh he's been getting Naked Snake pics since 2007 He almost never gets old man pics anymore. Also Viridian blends into the background of his pic. You can barely even see him. And honestly, that's probably the best pic Locke could've asked for. Better than Amano or Theatrhythm stuff. But LOL Thrall --- http://gifsoup.com/view/477513/red-vs-blue-road-rage-part-1-o.gif http://gifsoup.com/view/477534/red-vs-blue-road-rage-part-2-o.gif |

Snake was the underdog in most people's brackets but utilized the pic advantage and shredded Magus. He did the same against Kirby in the 2008 4way contest. Aren't those Portable Ops pics? I'm referring to MGS3 pics --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
I
never played it so I wouldn't know, but he earns the title Big Boss at
the end of MGS3 so I just figured that would be his new moniker after
that. But yeah, I just meant MGS3 --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
He's still called Snake in every game after that. --- http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o8250gifyd.gif http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o6250gifuv.gif |
Oh
yeah EVO isn't going to help Skullgirls I agree. It's not because of
the numbers of the event though (comparing it to a TV show isn't really
fair either because EVO is specifically marketed to well, people like
GameFAQs voters) it's because Skullgirls was such a minor part of the
event. I wouldn't doubt Morrigan may have got a slight boost from EVO happening recently, though. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Oh,
we're arguing a potential EVO boost for Skullgirls? Ain't happening
lol. I agree that characters like Morrigan/Zero/Akuma may have gotten
tiny temporary boosts because they defined the events, but Skullgirls
was invisible. Anyway, I have a feeling that Boss is going ballistic tonight, like even bigger than we're expecting. Is anyone on here planning to vote for either of his opponents? --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/NQTthNf.jpg |
Big Boss is just a codename the CIA gave him. His real name is John. --- Pts: 21/22 Today's Picks: Big Boss & Ness IX: Link-VV-BB-SS-Cloud-Sora-Samus-Mario-Zard |
But he likes the name Snake. --- Pts: 21/22 Today's Picks: Big Boss & Ness IX: Link-VV-BB-SS-Cloud-Sora-Samus-Mario-Zard |
I will be voting VVVVVV for the laughs --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
I
went low on Big Boss in my Oracle just to be conservative, but I'm
expecting 70% at bare minimum. Night match helps him here a lot, too. --- http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo22vfguji1qzxr43.gif |
I'm
thinking he ends right between Link and Mewtwo, which is around 77%.
The more I think about his opponents, the more pathetic they appear. And
no one hates Boss so he ain't getting anti-voted. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/gdl8lcn.jpg |
Oh
my god. The uber-pink Kirby-Terra-Peach pic is so awesome. But then I
spend a lot of time my my 7 year old girl cousin who has pink
everything... Also I was fairly confident Elizabeth would win that match but that is one ugly ass pic. Not sure if it matters though considering the weak competition. Also I'm shock - like total shock - that Locke doensn't look horrible. I had no idea a good non-sprite pic of him even existed. Where is that from? I was sure we'd get Amano art or something equally crappy, but that's not bad at all. Not that it matters as he should be a near-lock for 2nd, but still, kudos to whoever submitted that pic. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Pretty sure that Locke pic is from the FFVI advance instruction manual, where they all have pics in that style. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
I submitted that Locke pic. --- Pts: 21/22 Today's Picks: Big Boss & Ness IX: Link-VV-BB-SS-Cloud-Sora-Samus-Mario-Zard |
RagingPhoenix13 posted... I am so glad clem lost I agree. I love getting off from the tears of the clem fanboys, I get a sense of enjoyment from seeing them falling from the top and into the ground. These users spent hours on their brackets but in the end are no better than us lurkers. I get one wrong so far thanks to morrigan, but again clem getting slaughtered pleases me and cheers me up |
Dilated Chemist posted... I submitted that Locke pic. *golf clap* --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
I highly doubt any guru spent more than 10 minutes on their bracket. >_> --- http://i.imgur.com/32RNLnc.gif |
Spyro beating Sephiroth would be epic. LOL but that isn't happening. Still, Spyro with 50%+? Wow. --- Pts: 21/22 Today's Picks: Big Boss & Ness IX: Link-VV-BB-SS-Cloud-Sora-Samus-Mario-Zard |
DSknightWrighto posted... RagingPhoenix13 posted...I am so glad clem lost You are very sad. --- Death is not to be feared, but avoidance never hurt anyone. http://i.imgur.com/hDIb02X.jpg |
So, this Luigi performance compared to Sephiroth's, which is better? Midna probably beats Balthier. And Little Mac probably beats Jade cause he's Nintendo. --- Pts: 21/22 Today's Picks: Big Boss & Ness IX: Link-VV-BB-SS-Cloud-Sora-Samus-Mario-Zard |
Been lurking for a couple weeks now. I miss the good old days before a job when I could frequent the boards daily. Go Vincent! --- 128 character battle royale? My head hurts. RIP: Tnote827 - 4/4/05 |
The
3D models for FF6 characters are pretty old, though I'm not sure where
they came from. There's similar models for the FF5 crew in their various
jobs as well. Could've been for the PS1 remakes, but again, that's only
a guess. Surprised nobody's seen them before. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
Jade is by far the weakest entity between those two matches. Balthier's probably on Mac's level. --- http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2011/8/22/2094c2de-bae8-4f5b-9f27-67eaff0aaeaf.jpg |
Achromatic posted... DSknightWrighto posted...RagingPhoenix13 posted...I am so glad clem lost Hah I would be 'very sad' if Wrighto loses in round 2, but right now I am more than fine |
What do you mean "if" Wrighto loses? |
go Peacock! --- Leafs / Raptors / Blue Jays / TFC / Argos / Tottenham We'll get 'em next year. |
and Locke! --- Leafs / Raptors / Blue Jays / TFC / Argos / Tottenham We'll get 'em next year. |
