Is
there a way to see how many people have what score?For example I have
26 score.How many more have 26?In all previous contest you could easily
see that.But I don't know why you can't now. --- 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~ |

You can't seriously expect Bacon to accept a picture of Link on Epona. That's so ridiculous. It would never happen until freeform round, if ever. --- ~Zen |

Thanks foxhead.I am above average.But with round 2 that will end. --- 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~ |
Nanis23 posted... Nanis! So Pokemon is finally catching up to the point of giving characterization on par with the standards of the SNES era? Grats.... I guess.... |
foxhead84 posted... ZenOfThunder posted...You can't seriously expect Bacon to accept a picture of Link on Epona. I just sent in a feedback ticket to Bacon about this so people will stop expecting/asking for it. The Pokemon pic was always a bad call by Bacon. He's used fanart, too. He makes mistakes. But even then, the Pokemon are tools of the Trainers and a major part of the rivalry, which was the theme of the contest. We could have Link riding Epona in a Link pic because she's a tool he uses, but you can't have Link in an Epona pic. It just doesn't work that way. Shaped like a horse to not be ridden like a horse. --- ~Zen |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... I can get behind Vic Viper and Cammy. Those 2 would be able to crush a third of this bracket. I really think Cammy is the #5 SF character (behind Ryu, Ken, Chunners and Bison) You know, now I want to see the ZoE Vic Viper. Would it do better than the classic one, or worse because 'lol cockpit'? |
scaryice posted... creativename posted...I've always been very curious to see how Dark Link would perform - but at the same time dreaded it, because he could possibly beat half the Noble Nine while just being a gimmick/Link proxy, essentially. I could get behind this. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. |

God damnit I just realized that my expert bracket is a karma entry for some reason --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
http://img.gamefaqs.net/images/cbnine/battle/5174.jpg Dayum, I'm not scared of this match, but when I looked at how Ike and Eggman are positioned and then the middle pic, I heard a whistle passing through. This is one badass picture. On a similar note... http://img.gamefaqs.net/images/cbnine/battle/5176.jpg DAT SHULK DAT ALTAIR Top tier picture right here, even if Ratchet doesn't quite measure up. And good picture for the Mordin/Epona showdown. Mordin looks suprisingly badass, Epona is good, and Niko is appropriately derp enough to get LPF'd to oblivion. All is right in the world. |
Greymon/WarGreymon (Digimon Adventures) Why would Digimon be allowed? I'd like to see it, though. --- Haman Korn! You're the source of all kernels in this world! Your time has come! -Cornille You've made a poor choice for your final popping place! -Haman Korn |
Bayonetta is by far the most recognizable. --- http://img.imgcake.com/KommunistKoala/koalajpgehsa.jpg http://img.imgcake.com/KKpngat.png |

LinkMarioSamus posted... I like how Final Fantasy VII isn't safe from that while Nintendo games are. Why do we even let you in here? Nintendo's always been the most "mainstream" company, just like Disney is with animation. RPGs are more popular on this site, but platformers have always been the most mainstream genre. If you opened the "popularity contest" to the masses instead of just the hardcore gamers that come here, Cloud easily gets his butt kicked against "lesser" characters like Sonic, and poor Crono would've never even got a chance at Mario, or at least not in 2002. 2002 contest: Crono might be able to win his first-round match against Simon, but he'd be hard-pressed to beat Dante, and he certainly wouldn't be able to beat Lara. 2003: Well, who knows if the bracket would even look like that if not for 2002--Crono and Mario were both given easy paths to a rematch. (Of course, Mario didn't exactly blow out Shadow in round 2, so maybe things would be different there, too.) Even in an "open" contest, Crono probably makes it to round 3 (especially if Kefka is still a salad), but he gets crushed. 2004: I don't even know. Crono probably makes it to R3 here, too, because CBFD was too obscure and Crono still wins an SFF match, but it's 2004. The most obvious bracket ever, full of SFF matches and rematches of all-time classics. Which I'm pretty sure Mario/Crono wouldn't have been. So it's not like he'd have actually faced Mario there. 2005: Another RPG character...but it's Old Square vs. New Square. Yeah, I don't think Crono would make it out of that first round, either. 2006: BAHAHAHAHA no. Not one of the four characters he ended up facing that year would lose to him in a poll of more casual gamers. 2007: Uh...probably wouldn't have done that much worse, actually. If he could beat Simon in 2002, he could do so in 2007, and he probably beats Sam Fisher as well so he makes it to R2. Only one round worse than in reality at worst, and Raiden was pretty unpopular so he might actually be able to beat Raiden in both of the first two rounds, thereby getting him into the exact same match that killed him in reality (except not because Vincent wouldn't have even made it out of R1, and thanks to Link still SFFing Zelda into submission in R2, it would've been something like Link vs. Crono vs. Zero vs. Tails. Why am I even still continuing this exercise when we've come up with something that stupid? Oh, right, because I'm refuting an LMS "point".) 2008: That's, um...based solely on who the other three characters appearing in each match are, he looks like he could reach round 4 at least (where Samus probably stops him due to Smash?), but in reality it wouldn't because that Crono > L-Block R2 result turns into Ryu > Crono and he gets knocked out in R3 by Pikachu and Ryu. 2010: He actually improves on his performance in 2010, because no non-gamer would "get" the Missingno joke. So he actually gets far enough to be beaten by Yoshi in Round 2. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
ZenOfThunder posted... foxhead84 posted...ZenOfThunder posted...You can't seriously expect Bacon to accept a picture of Link on Epona. That is a very good justification. I forget, has Epona ever been in any of Link's match pics? --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
Blairville posted... Greymon/WarGreymon (Digimon Adventures) Digimon first existed as Tamagotchis, which count as games. |
That makes sense. Why didn't we realize this before? --- Haman Korn! You're the source of all kernels in this world! Your time has come! -Cornille You've made a poor choice for your final popping place! -Haman Korn |
Looks like a yes. http://images.wikia.com/board8/images/7/76/Cb6-61.jpg Still, I could've sworn I remembered a far more epic picture of Link actually riding Epona being used in a match pic. Currently looking through Games Contest match pics to see if maybe it was in there. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
Blairville posted... That makes sense. Why didn't we realize this before? Nobody thought about it, I think. I had the original idea no earlier than a couple weeks ago and I've been floating it around since. I think guys like Greymon and Angemon just might be two new additions to the midcarder roster. |
Must've
imagined it, although I did find one with Link riding Epona. Still,
here's a full gallery of match pics in which Epona has appeared. http://images.wikia.com/board8/images/7/76/Cb6-61.jpg http://images.wikia.com/board8/images/6/61/Bge09-17.jpg http://images.wikia.com/board8/images/9/99/GotD-78.jpg --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
KanzarisKelshen posted... http://img.gamefaqs.net/images/cbnine/battle/5174.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d30OSJkt7Dc Protoman winning would make me the happiest man on earth. If Rivalry Rumble was a regular character battle, he was going to be my choice for Guru nom to get him a higher seed and a match against someone not named Zero or Snake. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
KanzarisKelshen posted... Blairville posted...That makes sense. Why didn't we realize this before? ...Except until we make it a true fictional character open, I have my doubts that something that draws a significant portion of its strength from a non-video game source will be terribly strong. I think...okay, maybe not. It's hard to argue that Pikachu wouldn't be just another Gen I Pokémon without the anime (and before you say "Smash", would he have really gotten into Smash without the anime?) Okay, let's try it. The more strong "things that are technically from video games but no one really thinks of them as such" we can get in, the better, because it opens the door to a Fictional Character Open. (*sad because the protagonist of my favorite anime meets the "originates from a video game" criterion, but would undoubtedly be extremely weak*) --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
TsunamiXXVIII posted... Must've imagined it, although I did find one with Link riding Epona. Still, here's a full gallery of match pics in which Epona has appeared. You missed FFX/MM. It featured Link riding out to fight Tidus. |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... KanzarisKelshen posted...http://img.gamefaqs.net/images/cbnine/battle/5174.jpg Naw man, wrong theme. Blues needs something badass to win this match. Something amazing. Something like a whistle sound, and then this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKAWlZGe18M Seriously. I'm pulling for Ike, because I have to hang tough until the Epona match and see if my upset pick pans out and I become the last perfect Guru standing, but if Protoman makes a push for it...I'm putting this on repeat and rooting for him. Light up the night, Protoman! Let's do it! |
Yeah, you're right. And that still isn't the picture I thought I remembered. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
Don't forget her biggest appearance! http://i.imgur.com/ab35IBW.png --- T H E S T A B L E - bring on Epona! http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |
Match XXXI: (2) GlaDOS vs. (17) Cole MacGrath vs. (26) Ragna the Bloodedge Previous Contest GlaDOS – 2010 66.78% against Fawful 31.60% against Kirby Cole MacGrath – N/A N/A Ragna the Bloodedge – N/A N/A Analysis Even without the expected boost I would probably take GlaDOS to win this match. A lot has happened for GlaDOS since we last saw her with free Portal and Portal 2 she is likely much stronger now. After Wheatley’s performance a few matches ago GlaDOS is in a great position to take advantage of LFF next round and could potentially reach the third round. For this match she has to show that she is capable of having the predicted strength we have set for her. Without knowing too much about either character I have decided to go with Cole for second. Infamous is a bit more well-known and while it was crushed in the Game of the Decade contest I do not see BlazBlue performing much better with it being a niche fighting game. While Ragna may be the main character of BlazBlue being in a fighting game not named Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat is a bad idea. Even Nightmare got crushed now that Soul Calibur is becoming passé. Still with a small dedicated fanbase I do not see him getting completely embarrassed. If both characters are quite weak GlaDOS should have no problem breaking 50%, especially if she does not want people to jump ship over her chance to reach the third round. Ike has shown to have strength and Epona is a wild card so she needs to look as good as possible. charmander6000’s Bracket: GlaDOS > Cole MacGrath and Ragna the Bloodedge charmander6000’s Prediction: GlaDOS – 53.37%, Cole MacGrath – 25.88%, Ragna the Bloodedge – 20.75% --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 24/28 Today's Picks: Falcon and Bayonetta |

If Ragna gets 20% GlaDOS is dead regardless of how Epona/Ike split. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
I
haven't read this entire thread (still need to catch up), so did anyone
ask this? When was the last time we filled up an entire thread in one
12-hour match? I feel like it's been a very long while, possible since
2010. |
_SecretSquirrel posted... I think you guys are looking for this match pic. So Epona's first proper CB pic was a dat ass pic? Goddammit deviant picsmiths WarThaNemesis2 posted... If Ragna gets 20% GlaDOS is dead regardless of how Epona/Ike split. Also this. Ragna is basically Archer plus a more famous fighting game, minus people actually liking him at all. Nobody who played FS/N thinks Archer is anything less than a man's man. Nobody who played Blazblue thinks Ragna is anything more than a fifth tier copy of Sol badguy with a more bishie look. |
I'd
be shocked if anything from Digimon is even remotely strong. They have
no video game presence to speak of and honestly the cartoon wasn't that popular. It was "that Pokemon knockoff that some people like and other people make fun of" --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

I feel like it's been a very long while, possible since 2010. Yup, this was the first properly hype match of the season (I don't think Draven vs The World filled up a topic). What can we say, It Delivered. |
Lopen posted... I'd be shocked if anything from Digimon is even remotely strong. They have no video game presence to speak of and honestly the cartoon wasn't that popular. It was "that Pokemon knockoff that some people like and other people make fun of" someone from the Agumon line should at least be a low midcarder I'd think --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
I'd
be shocked. I'd take like, Juliet Starling over any character from
Digimon. It's just too tangential to video games and not really
mainstream popular enough to penetrate into our voting much if it has no
video game presence. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Lopen posted... I'd be shocked. I'd take like, Juliet Starling over any character from Digimon. It's just too tangential to video games and not really mainstream popular enough to penetrate into our voting much if it has no video game presence. Disagree. I think a large portion of the website's users watched at least the first two seasons of the show and enjoyed it as 10-18 year-olds. The right character could get a lot of nostalgia depending on who they're up against. |
_SecretSquirrel posted...
Nah, that wasn't it either, I don't think. It might've been, what with Link riding towards his foe, but I seem to remember it being head on and the opponent being far more epic as well. Thought it might've been like a Link/Cloud match or something. Wait...multi-pic matches... ...Nope, still can't find what I was looking for. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar.

TheOneAboveAll posted... Lopen posted...I'd be shocked. I'd take like, Juliet Starling over any character from Digimon.

Let's use this as a litmus test because why not. Listen to this and tell me if it gives you any feeling of nostalgia. I know it did it for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEgPCa0lQxM |
KanzarisKelshen posted... TheOneAboveAll posted...I haven't read this entire thread (still need to catch up), so did anyone ask this? When was the last time we filled up an entire thread in one 12-hour match? I feel like it's been a very long while, possible since 2010. Two threads, actually. When Alucard-Falcon started, we were like 8 pages into topic 1071. By the time it ended, 1073 was full. And of course, we've almost filled up this topic in the span of 12 hours, too, due to a combination of the end of Alucard-Falcon, this match being hype, and this match spectacularly failing to live up to hype, leading to some people being made fools of (if you expect me to feel bad about it, you're going to be disappointed; it wouldn't be a proper contest if I didn't make a complete fool of myself at least once, and this is still far less embarrassing than my worst prediction for CBVIII was. Also, this is actually my second time this contest challenging the "common wisdom", and the first was completely right), followed by some arguing as to which generation of Pokémon was, objectively, the best. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
I never knew anyone who actually liked Digimon. Also if I believed in standout factor I would be hyped about Ratchet right now. --- Leonhart posting from his phone |

It's just too tangential to video games and not really mainstream popular enough to penetrate into our voting much if it has no video game presence. Nope, nothing, because I only ever watched the dub. If you're really trying to appeal to nostalgia for someone's childhood, you probably should try something that doesn't involve spending however many dollars on the DVDs for original subs, because kids don't have that kind of disposable income. Also you're depressing me again because my favorite anime character that technically originated from a video game has never actually had her show released on American television and would therefore be super weak. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar.

I really doubt Digimon would have strength here. This isn't Star Wars or Marvel/DC Comics we're talking about here. TsunamiXXVIII posted...

When was the last time we filled up an entire thread in one 12-hour match? I feel like it's been a very long while, possible since 2010. What are you talking about, this match had "hype" and you challenged the "common wisdom"? Everyone in the Oracle had Bayonetta over N by ten points and N over Wander by ten points. There was no hype for this match, excluding random clutter that takes place in even the most predictable matches. It's silly to pat yourself on the back for an incredibly predictable match that just about everyone had in the correct order. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
