The Year of Luigi, baby --- http://img.imgcake.com/KommunistKoala/koalajpgehsa.jpg http://img.imgcake.com/KKpngat.png |
Ya'll always hating on Amano and Shinkawa artwork... --- You know who's sexy? Black Turtle, the 2010 Games Contest Guru Winner, that's who! |
I
picked Locke but I honestly cannot remember filling in my bracket and
as soon as I checked I was like 'wtf did I do this?'. I also picked
Slime to R3 and Garrus > Sub-Zero. The more I look at it, the more I am convinced it wasn't actually me who filled it in because no way would I dream of going with those in the Oracle or my Expert. I would say I was drunk but I haven't been drunk in 6 months so it can't be that! --- Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time |
Re-checking my expert challenge picks now I just can't...take Shulk over Ratchet I dunno,it seems to me like Xenoblade is the biggest joke in the contest Both Dunban and Reyn were pathetic |
Ratchet > Altair is a better upset pick if you're fishing for one! --- http://gifsoup.com/view/874243/big-boss-o.gif |
If Shulk beats Ratchet, me and Leon are leaving this website --- You know who's sexy? Black Turtle, the 2010 Games Contest Guru Winner, that's who! |
kefka isn't even very good in these contests. he has certainly bombed before |
I can't even take Shulk seriously as a name, nevermind as an upset pick! --- Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time |
Sounds too much like She-Hulk for my tastes. |
Why is FF6 so weak? Isn't it one of the more popular FFs on this website at least? --- If you believe in the Lord FE7 and you accept FE7 as the Savior of video games and are 100% proud of it, put this in your sig. |
I just thought of something funny This Board will explode if it happens Handsome Jack>Frog My god |
Agent
47 and Clementine left me -2 in this contest; I knew Agent 47 was a
high risk that I made on the belief that Morrigan 2002 was a weird
anamoly and it turns out I was wrong. Clementine, though, I made oddly
enough with the belief Spyro 2002 was a super-weak character (odd how I
considered 2002 correct in one case and wrong in another regarding stats
looking back now without realizing it then). He probably still is, but
I thought people would anti-vote him because of the past-Skylanders
association. --- In Oz; cruel is the usual punishment. |
Fun Fact: I thought people were talking about She-Hulk every time I saw a topic about 'Shulk' until like two months ago. --- ~FFDragon. (at Work !!) The Cream of Resident Evil Fanboyism. |

FFVI
doing so well in 2004 was probably a result of fans of 3-D FF voting
for a game they probably hadn't played and certainly didn't care about
because it had Final Fantasy in the name. This also explains why FFI did
almost as well on Mario 3 as Zelda 1 did, why FFT almost beat Metal
Gear Solid, and why all three of those FF games basically bombed in
2009. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
I
still think that as well. Even if I "know" otherwise, it is hard for
my conscious mind to grasp that somebody with that ridiculous name is
just a normal JRPG dude and not a Hulk/Rulk/Bulk/Shulk variant. |
Denzokuken posted... Final Fantasy XII sucks, by the way. I feel like mentioning that I recently made a new online friend who's a huge fan of the game, and it's his favorite Final Fantasy. Then again, it was also his first FF, and his second favorite Final Fantasy is...Final Fantasy XIII. He even admitted to me that it's an unpopular opinion! He is also a huge fan of Final Fantasies VI, VII, and X (not really VIII though, and he's currently playing IX and IV for the first time). He makes me butthurt over FFXIII not looking like an appealing game to me. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
LinkMarioSamus posted... I feel like mentioning that I recently made a new online friend...He makes me butthurt Thanks for the update. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
Luigi breaking that 65% --- Miyamoto: This Zelda was like losing my virginity, in the sense that we were making something completely new . |
KanzarisKelshen posted... You know what match is scaring me right now, oddly enough? Thrall/Poison/Elizabeth. Poison just got supremely lucky with being announced for SF4 recently, and I'd wager a huge part of our voter base watched Evolution 2013. Thrall should be bomba, but I have no idea about what Elizabeth can do. Clementine's match makes me feel kinda bad about her (every single argument you could make for Clem was made for Elizabeth as well and look how well things went for her), but gut says she was the strongest character in the match while we were making brackets. What do you think about that match, guys? Clementine was against the iconic (at least according to Wikipedia) star of an entire franchise. Elizabeth is against an enemy character from a game that has largely faded from the public eye and a member of an ensemble cast. I feel pretty comfortable about her winning, though that's probably just a total fodder-fest and I wouldn't be surprised if everyone in that match turned out to be weaker than Peach. That being said, Poison does have TJF and Thrall has STF. But I'm still confident that Elizabeth (can I just say "Liz"?) will come out on top in the end. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
I feel pretty confident that Thrall only did as well as he did in '10 because of not-Link votes. And Elizabeth isn't going up against anyone more recognizable than she is, so she got dis. --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |

I kind of suspect something weird happened in CT/FFVI's Round 3 matches that year due to the site redesign lowering votals. Both of them had overperformances back to back. And then you have FFT's apparent overperformance as well. In retrospect me and everyone else who had CT beating LttP got really lucky. If the poll had stayed at the top of the page like it was when the contest started, LttP makes it to the Finals no problem. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!"

I
went with Thrall because he's the most established, and I'm willing to
bet this site has a lot more WoW/Warcraft players than BioShock Infinite
players. The latter game is simply too new and expensive right now.
Elizabeth wins based on the strength of her ad campaign and general
online exposure, which I have no problem admitting could be more than
enough to get her the win, but I simply backed the more established
character who will stand out in the poll. I acknowledge that it's quite
risky. The WEIRD Bioshock prediction, though, is Booker freakin' Dewitt. Why he is favored to beat Gilgamesh by 70% of the Gurus is beyond me. Maybe I'm just looking at this strangely, but that one is almost as obvious to me as GW > Lee. --- http://i.imgur.com/a4GuDV3.gif |
Yeah,
I took Gilgamesh > Booker without a second thought. Kinda surprised
Booker ended up being the favorite by such a big margin. --- http://i.imgur.com/fe05x.png http://i.imgur.com/stNJf.png |
If
anything, it's Mr. Game & Watch where I don't understand where the
faith for him is coming from. We already saw a similar Smash-reliant
character stink the joint - Mr. Game & Watch is far less important
to SSB than Marth and basically ONLY has SSB while Marth at least kind
of has his own games. Game & Watch then also has joke appeal, but
there's another joke-y kind of character in that poll anyway. Lee could
stand out for being the only human character against two weirdos! (to think Marth is more popular than Samus in Japan...) --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
To be fair Final Fantasy has not given me any warmth in thinking that pick is crazy. --- Death is not to be feared, but avoidance never hurt anyone. http://i.imgur.com/hDIb02X.jpg |
LeonhartFour posted... Yeah, I took Gilgamesh > Booker without a second thought. Kinda surprised Booker ended up being the favorite by such a big margin. Same, but then the board convinced me to switch to Booker. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
(G & W is so winning his match though) --- Death is not to be feared, but avoidance never hurt anyone. http://i.imgur.com/hDIb02X.jpg |
It's
the main character of one of the most popular and highly-regarded games
of last year - A PLOT-DRIVEN GAME, NO LESS - vs. a late unlockable in
Melee and Brawl who sucks ass in the former and loses out on joke appeal
to the third entrant in the poll. There's probably more of a chance of
Mr. Game & Watch losing to Meat Boy than beating Lee. Even SSB fans who haven't played The Walking Dead or Super Meat Boy aren't guaranteed to vote for Mr. Game & Watch. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
I am glad to know that LinkMarioSamus is back to making no sense. --- Death is not to be feared, but avoidance never hurt anyone. http://i.imgur.com/hDIb02X.jpg |
Final
Fantasy hasn't looked great so far, but it's been up against either
Nintendo or other established RPG characters that refused to get SFF'd.
Booker is none of those things. As a casual observer, I noted that the
Bioshock ad campaign and hype was focused FAR more on Elizabeth than
Booker (yeah kinda second guessing my Thrall pick, but I think he can
still do it). Elizabeth should definitely be the stronger character -
honestly, the only FPS main character with any kind of strength is
Master Chief, and he's the face of an entire console line. Booker is
going to be very bad. Gilgamesh has the crazy intangible of being present in like half the Final Fantasy games and being a name recognizable to every single FF fan. That's enough to put his match away imo. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif |

Like, it may happen, but my brain won't comprehend it. --- sig |
Except Marth's 'sucking ass' included a performance that showed he would kill Spyro. Hell, I'd take Nightmare over Spyro. |
Achromatic posted... I am glad to know that LinkMarioSamus is back to making no sense. Back? When did he ever leave? --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |

What do Nightmare and Spyro have to do with Lee/Meat Boy/Game & Watch at all? Like I said, no SSB-reliant character has ever really proven to be worth a darn. Ever. If you want, you can count Olimar's first round performance in this contest as an exception, but he had so many reasons to overperform there. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
I don't understand Why is Bioshock Infinte characters supposed to be weak but The Walking Dead characters are supposed to be strong? I'm confused..? |

Switch Elizabeth with Tiny Tina. Does she beat Tharja? --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |

BK_Sheikah00 posted... Switch Elizabeth with Tiny Tina. Does she beat Tharja? Would have taken that without any doubt. --- Death is not to be feared, but avoidance never hurt anyone. http://i.imgur.com/hDIb02X.jpg |
Being
completely honest, I still feel that there's a greater chance of Mr.
Game & Watch placing last in that match than placing first. He's a
late unlockable in two games, one of which he's horrible in and the
other of which is slowly dropping in popularity on this site, and he's
expected to take on the main characters of two of the most popular games
of the last few years? Give me a break. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
"two of the most popular games of the last few years." "Oh." --- Death is not to be feared, but avoidance never hurt anyone. http://i.imgur.com/hDIb02X.jpg |
