Denzokuken posted... I can't believe people think a Mass Effect character is going to beat a character from Ocarina of Time. Mordin's going to lose, but I'd take Shepard over Epona with trivial ease. It's the Peach factor - no one cares. --- sig |
KamikazePotato posted... Seriously, we need to start giving Link some heat for his recent performances. This guy let Thrall do decently on him. He wrecked the SFF matches but that's just what they are - SFF. He seems to be the only one getting anti-voted like the FFVII crew (though not as badly), but it's all in meaningless matches. Mario, Samus, Sonic and Mega Man - all of these guys would get SFF'd by him. Snake could do well, but man, he really lucked out by avoiding Link until he grew dominant enough to be anti-voted. Snake never got the doubling (or worse) that all the other non-Cloud/Seph guys got. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/gdl8lcn.jpg |
Alucard with almost 50% prediction?The plan worked. --- 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~ |
Yeah,
I think of Epona as that character you vote for if you don't care for
the other characters, but Epona would flop under actual competition. A
lot like Tetris back in the day perhaps. Anybody not familiar with ME2 will likely just vote Epona out of love for OoT. --- "i am pretty sure 3-year old children would generate more thoughtful discussion than board 8 on any topic of sexism" - Naye745 |
LeonhartFour posted... ALUCARD FEARS NOT THE NIGHT, as his two best hours were the last two of the match. Wait, I see a 39.39% hour for Alucard earlier in this match. The last 2 hours of the match would be his second and third best hours overa ll. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
ChenKenichiFan posted... he really lucked out by avoiding Link until he grew dominant enough to be anti-voted. Got him in 2008! Although I suppose you mean before he got Brawl and MGS4 in 2006, in which case, yeah. Still one of those rare characters who's never been pushed below 40% in a 1-on-1! --- http://i.imgur.com/eqOQs.gif |
Sorry, I got a little excited in my trend chart. Regardless, the point still sort of stands, because Alucard's three best hours were in the last four hours of the match...! --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |
GlaDOS > Cole > Ragna Ike > Protoman > Robotnik Epona > Mordin > Nike Altair > Ratchet > Shulk Lara > Slime > Yuri Zak > Ryu > Kefka Wow this division is hard First places are all easy aside from Protoman-Ike but Ike is favorable to win Second places...Xenoblade characters sucked hard this contest so i'm not sure about Shulk I have no idea what Shadow Hearts is and never heard of it but Hero done well..kinda (maybe mostly joke votes but who knows) Ryu would lose to Kefka but thanks to Zack SFF he will probably get second place |
Nanis23 posted... GlaDOS > Cole > Ragna Perhaps I'm underestimating FF7's strength and overestimating FF6, but is Zack beating Kefka really that much of a sure thing? Kefka is debated as being the best villain in FF games along with Seph and Kuja. Zack was a minor character in FF7 who was the protagonist of a spinoff. I have Kefka winning 2 rounds, which is probably really dumb, but to me he's just so much more iconic and immediately recognizable than Zack Fair.. --- I pwn you all! |
Zack is black-haired Cloud. You wouldn't feel confident with dark-skinned Link even if you account for RacistFAQs? --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
the best villain in FF games along with... Kuja --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
raginbull911 posted... Nanis23 posted...GlaDOS > Cole > Ragna Kuja lost to Master Hand, so saying Kefka is anywhere near him isn't a big compliment. >_> Kefka is pretty weak (unfortunately). Zack impressed a lot in that one contest (uhh 2009 or something?) and proved to be far stronger than Kefka. Probably because he's in FF7 (even as a minor character) and is pretty much black-haired Cloud. --- Surskit Don't keep the lion in a coma. |
Denzokuken posted... the best villain in FF games along with... Kuja If I'm reading this right, I agree 100%. Sephiroth might be the most overrated character in video gaming. --- I pwn you all! |
*Wakes up* *Checks last match's results* I knew it. I said it early and I never stopped thinking about it...last night was The Night. Time to go listen to the Symphony of Tonight to celebrate now! http://www.gordonmcneil.com/VGCWsymphonyoftonight_extended.mp3 Seriously, can't believe Alucard did it. Monstering with the morning vote? Unbelievable! He really bucked all the trends to secure the win for those who believed in him! That's my guy! Now on a different note... ...We're talking Epona/Mordin again? Really guys? I just don't see it. I don't. Look, I get we always make jokes about how Tifa's Orthopedic Underwear can win matches, and how a leech like Zelda has strength, but this is a horse. It's a ****ing horse. I think it was KP who said it once and I agree, our voters might look dumb but they're way smarter than they appear. I'm as big a Nintendrone as they come, I always vote for Mario no matter who he's up against, I would prefer it if Link squashed Snake/Cloud in the finals as usual and then was retired unbeaten...but I'm not voting for Epona. Because IT'S A HORSE. Let's get real now! |
KanzarisKelshen posted... *Wakes up* Never doubt the plan! --- @w@ Gamertag: SliceSabre |
Don't listen to SOTN, listen to this: http://megaranmusic.com/track/aria-of-the-bloodline --- You think this is over because I am dead. It's not over. The games have just begun. |
From: KanzarisKelshen | #365 but I'm not voting for Epona. Because IT'S A HORSE. Let's get real now! How is voting for a horse any different than a dragon beating 2 humans, or the robot that's projected to stomp 1st place tomorrow? --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
-hotdogturtle-- posted... From: KanzarisKelshen | #365 Epona's going to win, but are you seriously comparing that useless horse to GlaDOS what in the world is wrong with your brain --- sig |
She's not a horse. She's THE horse. And she talks in Twilight Princess. Clearly she's much more of a character than Charizard. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
He said nothing about it being useless. His sole reason for voting against it is because it's a horse. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
horse racist --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
-hotdogturtle-- posted... From: KanzarisKelshen | #365 Because one of those is a protagonist and the other one is the central focus of two games. And the third one is a horse. Not even a protagonist horse either, just a horse with one scene per game, two tops. It's like the big brother version of 'Midgar Zolom would kill the polls guys, just you watch!'. |
Zack
and Kefka got about the same against Mega Man and Bowser respectively,
sure Zack had a night match and Kefka had a day, but I don't think it
will make up the difference between Mega Man and Bowser. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 24/28 Today's Picks: Falcon and Bayonetta |
-hotdogturtle-- posted... He said nothing about it being useless. His sole reason for voting against it is because it's a horse. Is this kind of density even possible in the Year of our contest winner Snake 2013 --- sig |
To
be fair, for a horse, Epona has a pretty cool side story related to her
in OoT. You riding Epona out of Lon Lon Ranch as an adult was great. I mean, it's still a horse, but I think OoT people will legitimately like Epona to a certain degree. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
I
have a feeling that Zack will have dropped from the previous contest.
If FF7 is going down the tubes, then Zack is probably going to be the
first to falter. He's not exactly the most important or memorable
character from it. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Epona is awesome. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
KamikazePotato posted... To be fair, for a horse, Epona has a pretty cool side story related to her in OoT. You riding Epona out of Lon Lon Ranch as an adult was great. Sure! And I acknowledge that! The Lon Lon Ranch escape was awesome and it's a fond memory for me! But Epona is still a horse. There's being a leech, there's being an enormous leech (hi Ness), and then there's being a horse who's supposed to have strength just for being in strong games. Basically the argument I'm making is, if you apply this type of logic to say Epona is strong, you have to accept wholeheartedly that the Happy Mask Salesman would dominate the poll because he has every reason to be just as strong as Epona or stronger considering how he has an actually big role in at least one game. And...I don't see that. If I had to rank characters from OoT in strength it would easily be Link>Ganondorf/Zelda>Ruto/Saria/Nabooru/maybe Darunia>>>>everybody else. It just doesn't make sense to me to expect Epona to be strong. It doesn't. My arguments are not super coherent I think, and I get why you'd be skeptical about them, but seriously, my gut feeling says that trusting Epona to be good is way wrong. |
I
kinda feel the opposite. If anyone will feel the least from FFVII
anti-votes and the general drop in strength, it's probably Zack for the
exact reason that he's not a relevant character in the original game. --- http://img.imgcake.com/nio/26leonpngat.png http://img.imgcake.com/nio/daigohadoupnguj.png |
KanzarisKelshen posted... my gut feeling says that trusting Epona to be good is way wrong. But Epona doesn't have to be good to beat the weakest Mass Effect side character in this contest. Really, she doesn't. --- sig |
Epona would stomp if her match pic had Link riding her --- The official rad dude of the Pokemon X board. |
LeonhartFour posted... I kinda feel the opposite. If anyone will feel the least from FFVII anti-votes and the general drop in strength, it's probably Zack for the exact reason that he's not a relevant character in the original game. Yeah, that's how I feel. Zack is FFVII, but he's a bit distant from it at the same time. People are probably less likely to turn on him, or not care as much. He sort of stands out compared to the others. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Karma Hunter posted... KanzarisKelshen posted...my gut feeling says that trusting Epona to be good is way wrong. I don't think Mordin is gonna be the weakest, actually. Or if he is, it'll be by a scant few bits of percentage compared to Wrex. I mean, what reason does Mordin have to be worse than Wrex when he was in a bigger game AND then more easily carried over to the end of the trilogy? |
From: KanzarisKelshen | #379 you have to accept wholeheartedly that the Happy Mask Salesman would dominate the poll because he has every reason to be just as strong as Epona or stronger considering how he has an actually big role in at least one game. Are you implying that people wouldn't agree on this? He would obviously be stronger than Epona because he has a larger role in a better game, plus he has minor meme power behind him. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
I'd vote Epona over the Sages. Who votes for the Sages, really, especially over your horse. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Rad_Dudesman posted... Epona would stomp if her match pic had Link riding her This is true though. I really hope the picsmiths don't get stupid and try for the Link Factor here. Give Epona a solo pic and let her shine or lose on her own merits. No nonsense in a debatable match, please. |
Karma Hunter posted... KanzarisKelshen posted...my gut feeling says that trusting Epona to be good is way wrong. It really is a triple fodder match, so I'm inclined to go with a) the most recognizable character and b) the character from the most popular franchise. Both are Epona. Honestly, I think people are overrating Mordin big time. I wouldn't be shocked if Niko finishes ahead of him on name recognition alone. Want to go bowling, cousin? --- I pwn you all! |
KanzarisKelshen posted... Karma Hunter posted...KanzarisKelshen posted...my gut feeling says that trusting Epona to be good is way wrong. Oh, you think Mordin is stronger than Wrex. That lack of grasp on the ME fanbase would lead you to the conclusion you've come to! --- sig |
When
you think of the Happy Mask Salesman, the first thing that comes to
mind is Majora's Mask, not Ocarina of Time. Epona is literally the first
character you see when you turn on OoT. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
I don't think Bacon would allow a picture of Link in the match with Epona. I think he realizes that's inherently unfair. Or I hope he does. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
I
have Epona winning Round 1 and feel good about it, but I've been
definitely veering towards the "It's just a horse!" point of view lately
in regards to later rounds. I'm just getting a bad feeling about her,
and it's beginning to reek of Matt the Mii all over again. I mean, a
much much much much much more popular version of Matt the Mii, but same
basic situation. We came up with some theory about some character being
more popular than expected, and rather than admit that we could be
wrong, we just put up blinders and went full steam ahead. We came up
with the theory and found a character to fit it, instead of just finding
a popular character organically. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. |
I'm going to laugh so hard when Epona ends up with a Link pic and becomes stronger than Ganondorf and Zelda. --- Leafs / Raptors / Blue Jays / TFC / Argos / Tottenham We'll get 'em next year. |
I've
always been confused by Mordin's fanbase. I like him, but he was never
near my favorite of the cast, and quite a few of my friends don't get it
either. Garrus and Wrex seem to be the only two universally loved
squadmates. Legion probably would be if he had a bigger presence. Tali
would probably be third after Garrus and Wrex, and I'm surprised she
didn't make it when Mordin did. --- Green is not a creative color |
There wasn't a B8 rally for Tali. That's why she didn't make it. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
Mordin
has the nerddom fanbase - one that is small, dedicated, vocal. It's the
same principle as Otacon's strength (and I'll so far as to say if
Mordin can even give Epona a scare, Otacon > Magus is a mortal lock). --- sig |
I
don't think you can make a picture with Epona and Link in this format
without either zooming out too far or one of those joke pictures where
it is just Link with Epona's ear. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 24/28 Today's Picks: Falcon and Bayonetta |
I know I'm super late to the party, but when the HELL did Alucard beat Falcon? i must've been passed out . |
ZFS posted... I'd vote Epona over the Sages. Who votes for the Sages, really, especially over your horse. Other than Rauru (and Nabooru I guess) the Sages are all characters that people have reason to like prior to them becoming Sages. It's not like they only show up at the ends of the temples. I think that Saria could be pretty decent actually, and in hindsight I'm surprised there's never been a rally behind her. She definitely should have made the Female Bracket over some of the crap that made it in. And if she does bomb she has a perfect pic to put on the Results Page:http://tinyurl.com/lqwor59 --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. |
They didn't even give Nana her other Ice Climber. I doubt Epona gets Link --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
