GameFAQs Contests

What exactly was it that gave people some sort of faith in TWD?

Clementine pulling away now. Unless Reyn makes a killing overnight (which I guess he could) I'd be surprised to see this change.

So true. Man the hindsight on this one is... f*** 20/20, it's laser vision.

I thought Spyro was just so weak that someone from a popular game could beat him.

I know it really has nothing to do with this match, but at least this is making me feel good about Crash over Wheatley.

Crash is going to kill it in his match.

After totally blowing the last few semi-debatable matches somehow, it feels so good to be right again.

I'm sure I'll be back to making comically stupid mistakes soon though!

True, this looks good for Crash and horrible for Lee Everett, both of which help my bracket.

Pretty easy match for those at the very top but prediction percentage falls sharply from there. While the perfects are in the mid-70s, the -3s are in the mid-40s. We lose some 0 brackets as well.

5 people fell off the Top 49. Aprosenf, Ayvuir2, backinblack167, ChubToad_ and dark0950 did not have Morrigan winning the match.

I actually picked Crash in my bracket, but I did not believe in Spyro because he's so much weaker than Crash.

Being a well known character helps even if nobody actually likes you. Jak would have easily won his match before the massive rallies too.

the only way this could be good for my bracket is if it allows Drake to somehow make round 3, since i have Pikachu winning the division. but i highly doubt that, unfortunately.

That's pretty much what I think too. In hindsight it seems so logical given the opposition. But pre-match Spyro just looked so damn terrible from previous performances that it didn't look like it would take all that much to beat him so it was conceivable for practically any newcomer to be that strong.

I mean he was what? 15% ish in the xstats? Hard to take anyone that weak with any sort of confidence regardless of opposition!

Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time

Xenoblade characters are trying to make Tales characters look good.

This is horrendous by Reyn.
---

http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom

I think we have similar brackets then (at least in that division), as I also have Pikachu > Sora because of Drake being the third entrant. I think he can make it if his two second round opponents are Mr. GW (huge favorite now) and Pokemon Trainer Blue. Those guys will split the Nintendo vote heavily.

In other, far worse news... Reyn has ended.

It never even began. =(

Oh well, at least Altair > Ratchet > Shulk is locked in now.

lol Reyn. Shulk is totally getting last place against Altair and Ratchet.

I never thought that Reyn would be weaker than Dunban.

Dunban got 16.54% against Vincent while Reyn has 22.66% against Spyro. You can tell which performance is weaker.

i don't have Drake in the match, i just have Pikachu winning. i'd gladly sac the points for Fox to get a Pikachu division win and Cloud to the finals, though. of course i have Magikarp winning the contest so i probably have a pretty big margin for error in the early rounds.

Holy crap, I just noticed the Guru was split between Spyro and Clementine! Looks like my policy of "If I've never heard of this character they're probably not gonna win" pays off yet again.
---
Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite?
However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog

Dammit this is just like with Draven, had him and Spyro on there for awhile and then stupidly changed it.

Still think Weatly can take it, Portal 2 seems to be well played. Though I never saw how G&W doesn't take it. Always bank on Smash when up against unknowns.

Man, F*** THAT, let's play some s***ty ones!" - Angry Video Game Nerd

Yeah no... Jak's performance should have been a clue. You would assume League of Legends should be the more popular game on this website, even prior to the rallies, and Draven was going to get doubled.
---

Yeah, I was wrong on REYN TIME.

Xenoblade characters are just garbage it seems. Live and learn!

This contest truly is the Revenge of 2002.

Would be kind of cool if Spyro completes the circle and upsets Morrigan for 2nd place next round.

Having played Xenoblade I can completely see why Dunban would be more popular.

Reyn just seemed to be more liked on B8.

Go Spyro! Finally, I went for an upset pick that turned out to be right.

Its actually glad to see him winning a match. With good artwork to boot.

Spyro's Pac-Maning this match. I bet he gets crushed by as much or more than you'd expect next round.

Have you played Xenoblade? If Dunban isn't the strongest character I would be shocked. I guess there is a small possibility that Shulk might be stronger simply because he is the main character but I personally doubt it.

If you believe that Abed is the true Messiah and you are 100% proud of it make this your signature.

God damn Reyn, doubled by the kid. This doesn't even feel like a victory anymore. =(

Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave.

Reyn at least has the meme.

He's likely the only one people who haven't played Xenoblade might have heard of.

I've played Xenoblade all the way through, and I vastly preferred Reyn to Dunban personally.

So this is good news for Draven, right? Because it shows that the Jak he beat wasn't entirely fodderific. Meaning he would need less of a rally than expected to beat Mega Man X. Granted, it will still need to be a massive one. But now he needs a massive rally as normal fodder and not crazy uber-fodder.

Xenoblade is ass unfortunately. Looks like people would be better off nominating Citan Uzuki
---

Yeah, I never had any doubt in my mind that Dunban would be stronger than Reyn. Shulk is probably still the strongest based entirely on being the main character but Dunban would be the easy #2 pick for me.

Stop complaining. I have Eggman and Pac-Man getting to round 3.

Nah Spyro's still fodder

He'll get < 15% next round count on it

---
Leafs / Raptors / Blue Jays / TFC / Argos / Tottenham
We'll get 'em next year.

This is one of those instances where I think going off gut rather than stats paid off for a lot of people. My first instinct was that Spyro takes this on recognition alone, but then looking at past contests he just looked so damn weak, it was hard to conceive that he'd actually win a match.

No, it just means no one cares about TWD and Xenoblade.

Morrigan's competition craps all over what Spyro's up against here. Edgeworth would probably be blowing out this poll.

Spyro is still getting annihilated next round.
