I
don't think I've ever seen more delusion in regards to a few loud
individuals insisting a total fodder character has strength than the
next match. And I was one of the losers who took Ramza of Hogger, for
god's sake. --- http://25.media.tumblr.com/577e7c376f5f1ba2c1e99c2bd374a202/tumblr_mpnimmUE2m1solfhro1_500.gif http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmmb4idD68O1r37arko1400gifve.gif |
ChenKenichiFan posted... Based on these trends, it's not a stretch to assume that Rydia is hurting Alucard a bit more. She's showing just as strong a night vote as he is. Does that necessarily follow? I mean, in a match like Mario/Cloud/Sora you've got two strong day vote characters, but all the dead weight is certainly going to be on Cloud. I'm just niggling at this point though idk --- sig |
I
think Wander is just going to be viewed as completely irrelevant in the
poll. There's too many '3rd place characters' getting destroyed that
really shouldn't be. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
If you adjust Rydia up for LPF she's actually creaming these two jokers. Damn you LPF --- sig |
I
deduced that Bayonetta is probably worth around 30% on Dante, which
would make her worth about 60% on Wander. Sounds about right. The seeds are in exactly the opposite order of game popularity on this site, too. Wander could be much stronger now since his game was a beast in GOTD. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
I think there's a very distinct possibility of Wander making a run at N for second. I wouldn't bet on it, though. --- http://25.media.tumblr.com/577e7c376f5f1ba2c1e99c2bd374a202/tumblr_mpnimmUE2m1solfhro1_500.gif http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmmb4idD68O1r37arko1400gifve.gif |
Fair
point, but I just ran a bunch of examples in my head and it just seems
that characters that share very similar trends would overlap a little
more. I think that changes for very recent games, though. I'm pretty
sure something like Mass Effect is day-oriented, but I doubt that
overlaps any more with Nintendo than it does with Sony. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/NQTthNf.jpg |
I
wouldn't be surprised if Wander wins. His game would crush either of
his opponents' games in a games contest, Bayonetta is probably worth
only around 60% on 2010 Wander, and then if Wander has boosted...and
we've already discussed N. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
I know nothing about Wander except how Falcon embarrassed him in Winter 2010 --- The official rad dude of the Pokemon X board. |
I
think Bayonetta rolls this so easily. The series and the character has
just gotten way too much exposure recently, and it never, never hurts to
have the game named after you. Plus, I think we're forgetting that
Bayonetta actually had a pretty good ad campaign. She's got some good
stuff going for her. --- http://i.imgur.com/a4GuDV3.gif |
Wander is a great example of games != characters. No one except for HM gives two ****s about Wander. That game is all about the colossi. I'd be shocked if Wander broke 20% --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
WellThoughtName posted... How high would Rydia go on the FF power ranking? Her performance is pretty good there tbqh. Prolly Solid Mid. Which I am ok with. Cloud Seph Vince Auron Squall Tifa Zack Vivi Kefka Terra Cecil Tidus Yuna Balthier Celes(atm but cna change depending) Sin Ramza :( Dunno where to put the rest. --- Oh SuperNiceDog's doing it again dude. SuperNiceDog, you ain't no pimp dude |
Bayonetta
could stand to have a bit more 'oomph' in her picture (with all the
amazing art she has that one almost comes off as a bit of an attempt at
sabotage), but she should really be able to take the match on name power
alone. If there's any justice...! --- sig |
Look on the bright side: At least Ramza might still beat Vaan! --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Well thats true Vaan is never getting in here though --- Oh SuperNiceDog's doing it again dude. SuperNiceDog, you ain't no pimp dude |
Damn, it has turned into a boring stallfest. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
Alucard can't win this. He's cut like 25 votes in the past hour --- Watch me play on Twitch! http://www.twitch.tv/kbartz RIP Ryan Davis. I'll miss you like nuts! |
A cut over 15, too little too late probably. Either that or more stall by Falcon for the next 45 minutes. --- http://i.imgur.com/32RNLnc.gif |
That's
a really awful Bayonetta pic and this match is making me have second
thoughts about the site having moved on from voting Nintendo over
everything in droves regardless the character. --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |
To hell with it! My expert's toast now and I love Pokemon. N > Bayonetta, here we go! --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
--Smurf-- posted... That's a really awful Bayonetta pic and this match is making me have second thoughts about the site having moved on from voting Nintendo over everything in droves regardless the character. There are three groups of people. Crazy people who fangasm over N. People who played Black/White but don't care about N. People who haven't played Black/White. Guess which one is the only one that will vote N in droves? And guess which one is the smallest group? --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima SuperNiceDog: Bracket: Good, Taste: Bad |
I don't care about N but he is from Pokemon and I didn't play Bayonetta and SotC is aweful |
Wow that Bayonetta pic is awful kinda having some doubts now. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
But she got The Butt Factor |
Lopen posted... Wander is a great example of games != characters. Fixed. But honestly, I was playing SOTC a few days ago and I don't understand how any fan of the game wouldn't care for Wander. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
What proportion of people who played SotC even know that Wander is his name? I'd guess it's not all that high. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
From: LinkMarioSamus | #375 Lopen posted...Wander is a great example of games != characters. Because Wander is about as interesting as you are, LMS --- Watch me play on Twitch! http://www.twitch.tv/kbartz RIP Ryan Davis. I'll miss you like nuts! |
40 votes cut in 10 minutes now. Shame about the 2 hour stall. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
Falcon awaits his morning vote --- The official rad dude of the Pokemon X board. |
AxemRedRanger posted... Look on the bright side: The day Vaan is stronger than Ramza is the day my brain hemorrhages and I die on the spot. Also, am I the only one who's most impressed with Rydia here? Going up against two popular characters having a close match, and she's holding her own when we've seen third wheels time after time just completely fold and get left behind, even when they have a reason to do respectably. Ditch Cecil and keep Rydia in these contests in the future imho --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |
Well, this match gives me zero confidence in taking Cecil for the upset in his match. CRAP |
ffmasterjose posted... Well, this match gives me zero confidence in taking Cecil for the upset in his match. ... Are you insane? Rydia doing this well against Falcon and Alucard is amazing for her. --- "When your enemies defy you, you must serve them steel and fire. When they go to their knees, however, you must help them back to their feet." |
ffmasterjose posted... Well, this match gives me zero confidence in taking Cecil for the upset in his match. Why? Pit and Wrex aren't stronger than these dudes. ...I wouldn't be totally surprised if Rydia was on Cecil's level though! --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
LeonhartFour posted... ffmasterjose posted...Well, this match gives me zero confidence in taking Cecil for the upset in his match. Going off this match, Rydia would win Cecil's match easily. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
Call
me crazy fellas, but until this match I thought Captain Falcon was
supposed to be terrible. I thought Rydia easily had 2nd place. I have a really bad feeling about Cecil is all. I hope I'm wrong and he kicks ass. |
You're crazy, dude. Falcon got 30% on Cloud in 2010 and beat Riku straight up. He's legit. --- 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 |
Just took another look at who else Cecil has to face, and now I feel slightly better about him advancing :D Man, why was I under the impression that Falcon was so bad |
I
woke up and I check the results.Okay what is going on?Everyone had
Alucard winning and now this?Nintendofaqs for sure.Prepare for an
extremely low prediction percentage again. --- 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~ |
I don't see Pit being that much weaker than Falcon nowadays, though. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
I wouldn't take Pit to beat Falcon. Ever. I'm sure Uprising helped, but the dude went 50/50 with King Dedede once. That's not a good thing. --- http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/7760/222bj.jpg |
Also,
I doubt Alucard ever ends up taking the lead now. Falcon's already
starting to recover from his night vote, and he should start
consistently winning updates again within the next 1-2 hours. --- http://i.imgur.com/kCpvD.gif |
Also, how would Rydia/Magus look according to this result? --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
Man,
Rydia is doing this well on pure FF4 strength. I think Cecil would be
able to take this match and is making me feel fantastic about taking him
to Round 3. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
This isn't pure FFIV strength...! --- 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 |
LeonhartFour posted... Also, I doubt Alucard ever ends up taking the lead now. Falcon's already starting to recover from his night vote, and he should start consistently winning updates again within the next 1-2 hours. Still, I can't help but feel hopeful for a comeback. It looks possible, though not probable, for the reasons you stated. --- http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr263/crypto_magnum/Polycosm_sig.jpg |
WarThaNemesis2 posted... Man, Rydia is doing this well on pure FF4 strength. I think Cecil would be able to take this match and is making me feel fantastic about taking him to Round 3. Actually kind of glad I'm not the only person on the board who has Cecil winning 2 matches >_> . |
Rydia has two things Cecil doesn't --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
People
talked a bit earlier about making The Boss the new fodderline, but
after seeing Isaac's performance, I'm gonna say make Isaac the
fodderline. 22% on Solid Snake should be pretty close. But more than that, Isaac sucks. It's nice that he doesn't blather endlessly like the other characters in Golden Sun, but he makes it up for it in later games. It's a bad sign that the universal response to him there is "oh god please go back to not talking." I feel the guy's a complete leech off a decent strength game and basically has no real appeal of his own. If you want claim to being even remotely strong, you should be able to beat this loser. Serious question: does anyone here actually like Isaac? --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
BK_Sheikah00 posted... Also, how would Rydia/Magus look according to this result? Rydia wins a with a bit more than 53% on 2010 Magus. For the sake of comedy, in 2005 Magus was expected to get 73% on Cecil. Also Leon you're right, I forgot Last Place Factor Rydia is underperforming by about 15% because of it. That's how it works, right? --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
Lots of people have Cecil winning two matches! Like me! Pit being such a big favorite kinda baffled me. Not sure where that came from. Can't see a 3DS game boosting Pit that much, no matter how well received it was, since he's not that strong in the first place. I know Pit has never gotten a fair match without getting shackled with another Nintendo guy, but 48% on Knuckles in a day match is way better than anything Pit has ever done. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |
