I'd
say Clementine is more liked than Lee by the Walking Dead fanbase. And I
just can't see Spyro beating Game and Watch or even Meat Boy. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
ZeldaTPLink posted... LinkMarioSamus posted...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. I don't see your point. That sounds more like evidence against Mr. Game & Watch winning. I do kinda feel that Mr. Game & Watch could benefit from recognizability, but I just feel that SSB characters struggle with that - see also: Marth allowing Duke Nukem to come dangerously close to him and then not even putting up a fight the minute another Nintendo character showed up to leech him, and then Marth getting owned by Phoenix Wright this contest. It also feels similar to the deal with Yoshimitsu benefitting from recognizability against Groose - HOWEVER: -Yoshimitsu is far more important to his games than Mr. Game & Watch is to his. -Yoshimitsu gets extra points for The Badass Factor (TBF). -Yoshimitsu is against a side character and...I have no idea what role Lu Bu plays in Dynasty Warriors. Mr. Game & Watch is, as I said, against the main character of two very popular games from the last few years. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
I like how everyone's still treating Spyro like bottom-of-the-barrel fodder trash even after his big win. Sometimes, previous stats are worthless.

There's probably more of a chance of Mr. Game & Watch losing to Meat Boy than beating Lee. Let me explain. You can talk as much as you want about plot and character development, and the only thing that matters is that, on gamefaqs, SSB is way more popular than The Walking Dead. |
Lu Bu is the destroyer of universes you will bow before his majesty. Anyway they aren't popular enough on GameFAQs and Clementine just got smoked by Spyro. The fact you can still take Lee winning anything after Clementine got maimed is hilarious. --- Death is not to be feared, but avoidance never hurt anyone. http://i.imgur.com/hDIb02X.jpg |
I have no clue who either of the opponents in the G&W match even are, and I'm fairly certain a majority of voters will share that similarity. The only person I even gambled taking that I wasn't familiar with (other than Tharja, of whom I had no clue who anyone in her match was) was Elizabeth, and that's undoubtedly my shakiest pick remaining of the first round, and I'm worried sick about Thr- -and now I see I have Booker winning his match. Was I even sober when I filled this bracket out --- sig |

Didn't stop Marth from getting thrashed around by Phoenix. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Phoenix Wright would get 90% on Lee <_<. --- Death is not to be feared, but avoidance never hurt anyone. http://i.imgur.com/hDIb02X.jpg |

If you've kept up with modern gaming at all you should at least know who Meat Boy is. Then again, me having actually played Super Meat Boy recently (while not having unlocked Mr. Game & Watch in my ongoing "unlock as much stuff in Brawl as possible" playthrough) is probably making my statement a bit biased. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |

How
can you have so much faith in Lee after seeing what happened to
Clementine, sure Spyro is likely to be stronger, but he had no issue
winning. Lee can still win the match, but it will be due to G&W's weakness (shouldn't be hard to argue that he'll be weak, but he'll need to be very weak) --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 18/20 Today's Picks: Clementine and Luigi |
Now I wish we had Shulk vs Lee, so we could get something like this again. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101221072205/board8/images/b/b5/GotD-82.jpg --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
In other news, Luigi currently has 84.09% on Jade. The 2006 x-stats project him to get 85.49% on Jade. If Luigi is supposed to be stronger now than he was in 2006, I guess Jade did get the meager boost from her game being rereleased on PSN (and XBLA?) that I was expecting her to receive. As for the other character, the 2010 stats project Luigi to get 70.26% on Balthier. Luigi currently has 74.32% on Balthier. Makes sense that Luigi and Jade would have boosted while Balthier has fallen even further. Of course, if Balthier has fallen further, Midna is likely to have fallen even further as well. Really bad news for Sephiroth! --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |

The
2010 stats project Sephiroth to get 71.15% on Midna. In this contest,
Sephiroth got 70.03% on Midna. If you believe that Midna has been
subject to a similar decline as Balthier, then this is truly bad news
for Sephiroth. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |

I
will say LMS's posting has been much better this contest. He actually
makes some good points at times, plus he's not going on his usual
off-topic rants. Mr. Game and Watch seems like he should be Lucas-level weak, but he does have Melee as well, plus he can be considered more of a Smash Bros/Nintendo mascot at this point. If anything, I think G&W will be closer to Sandbag than Lucas. That said, still no clue about that match. Hell, I could see Meat Boy winning that one since he's one of the big faces of the indie gaming movement, though drawing Lee probably won't do him any favors. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
Okay,
I'm all for Game & Watch winning; I have it in my bracket. But
there's one little thing that keeps nagging at me. Namely, this: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/4528 Yes, it's only Rivalry Rumble, but that was an insanely impressive performance. Something like 6.57% better than the average Oracle expectations. Against friggin' Final Fantasy. Game and Watch should win, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if Meat Boy gets over 43% directly on him, maybe even over 45%. (Also, whoever made up the blurbs for the Rivalry Rumble matches didn't even bother looking that hard to figure out what the actual Oracle average was; they all showed the actual match result as the "Oracle Expectation". --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar.

Where are the stats and the hour stuff for the previous match? --- 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~ |
It's
a bit hard to find a decent smash character to use as a comparison.
Game & Watch is a character that gets almost all his strength from
smash, but is not a fan favourite. Characters like Marth and Captain
Falcon are both fan favourites while Ness and Lucario both have other
games to get their strength. Lucas and Pit were stuck in SFF matches
plus Pit has a new game now. Nana would be a decent comparison as she got 18% against Sephiroth, but Tifa was in the poll so Sephiroth likely wins by more. I'd say that's a good upper limit. However, using 2007 Ratchet to adjust for LFF Nana gets 15% on Sephiroth. This is all assuming people treat Nana as Ice Climbers --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 18/20 Today's Picks: Clementine and Luigi |
If Mr. Game and Watch gets a picture of himself using that hammer with [9] over his head he'll win with 150% of the vote. |
Meat Boy wins in a match against two black characters by virtue of having no skin. --- Leonhart posting from his phone |
Peacock and VVVVV guy are going to be so weak darn it Big Boss with 75%+ |
Big Boss with 80%+. Skullgirls has a super small fanbase and VVVVVV's might even be smaller. You have an icon in his own right that looks like fellow icon Solid Snake and there's really no reason to anti-vote him and who the hell has played the other two games Punished Snake is going to punish them --- ~Zen |
Is there a consensus at all on Viridian and Peacock in the battle for second? Still mulling over my expert pick. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
I
don't think there's a 100% consensus, but I think Peacock's fans are
more diehard and loyal than VVVVVV's. I'd say their fanbases are
aboooout equal, but Peacock's has more crossover with bigger fanbases
(you know, her game is at EVO and stuff, all the fighting game community
people know about Skullgirls and respect it w/o playing it), and
because they're so committed they're less likely to flip to Big Boss's
side. --- ~Zen |
Not sure if you can call it a "consensus" but generally accepted that Peacock got it |
I see, thank you. I'll probably just take the 3 points and run. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
I'm going with Peacock, but no confidence really. Big Boss is gonna look GREAT in this match. holy crap. --- The Great GameFAQs Character Battle IX contest - 18/21 pts | Expert Challenge: 67/126 NP: Luigi > Balthier Bunansa > Jade |
Yeah,
banking is probably the smart thing to do. I'm not smart though and I'm
doing crappy enough that I'm just going to pick Peacock and pray. --- ~Zen |
http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/keep-skullgirls-growing This kind of proves my point about Skullgirls fans being more diehard, but there's no VVVVVV kickstarter to counter me, so this probably means nothing still makes me feel slightly better though --- ~Zen |
Big Boss time. --- Pts: 21/22 Today's Picks: Big Boss & Ness IX: Link-VV-BB-SS-Cloud-Sora-Samus-Mario-Zard |
Masato_Tanaka posted... hey guys Who knows? I don't think Link would even be the character to get the highest score against Chester because of anti-votes. It would be a good way to measure not-Link votes, though. --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
Based on 2010 Mewtwo Link scores 97.86% on Chester. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 18/20 Today's Picks: Clementine and Luigi |
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. --- "Hamas isn't really a terror organization." -Terran [Evil Republican] Play Der Langrisser. |
Haven't been around for the past week. Top three surprising results for me since then: 1)Spyro getting over 50%.... REALLY? He quadrupled Reyn, too. o_O 2)Barret laying an egg, failing to double up Layton. 3)Mewtwo getting over 80%.... but I didn't realize Chester was literally not known outside B8. So, I'm feeling much better about taking G&W to win this round. Regarding Spyro, I figure he's just increased in strength, just like Ratchet and Crash. Maybe also his 2007 score (Leon - 40%, Vivi - 31%, Ridley - 19%, Spyro - 10%) was a bit low for his strength... he was 4th place, after all. He should do a little better against Morrigan this time around. Not that he has any shot at 2nd. Then again, Spyro could get "SFFed" by Sephiroth, just like Crash was. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those! It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
1)His opponents turned up to be really weak though. 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. 3)Chester is from an indie game and only got here because a guy from Board 8 made it.What did you expected? --- 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~ |
