Not sure if Bacon's taste is horrible, amazing, or both. Some of that list makes me feel so conflicted, dang. |
That's a weird list. --- For your SuperNiceDog. At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza |
I
somehow managed to convince myself that Ragna could beat Cole, so I'm
hoping he pulls a miracle here somehow. Maybe he can do something now
that the Cole Power Hour is ending. --- Pokemon VGC2013 BC Regional - 16th place Pokemon VGC2013 US National - 39th place |
It's
weird how Ragna is obliterating GLaDOS's percentage directly. Like
Cole is staying steady but Ragna's stolen 0.8% from GLaDOS over the last
few updates. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Speaking of SB... Is the Waluigi bet for the normal bracket or the expert challenge (or both) --- Congratulation to SuperNiceDog. Guru Champ and Rivalry Rumble Master |
My non-traditional Noble Nine, JUST FOR THE RECORD Batman The Star Wars Guys (in order: Vader, Yoda, Han Solo, Obi-Wan/Luke/Boba Fett/Lando/R2-D2/100 others) The Tolkien Guys (in order: Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Bilbo, rest of the Hobbits) Spiderman Wolverine Homer Simpson James Bond Iron Man Superman But around the same level of Supes/Iron Man would be the Leonardos and Simbas and Aladdins and Cartmans and Buzz Lightyears of the world. The Joker and some other X-Men and Indiana Jones would be in the mix as well. --- thengamer.com/guru | thengamer.com/xstats | board8.wikia.com Oh gosh, you really should listen to The Show! |

Aghhhhh, I thought I had Wander in 3rd and N in 2nd but it was the other way around. >_< Goodbye for now, leaderboard.... --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsbvaQcuW9k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3EAmdg3xls |

creativename posted... From looking at the Oracle topic, most had Glados high 50's, Cole mid to high 20's and Ragna in the 15+ish range. Oracle Consensus (not quite up to date but can't see it shifting much, if anything slightly upwards for Ragna and down for Cole) GlaDOS 55.65 Cole 27.94 Ragna 16.19 Also can't believe people are calling BlazBlue a bad game and the characters bad. I would kill for less! Double also, I would so antivote Luke Skywalker. Being called Luke, that **** gets old. Even now people still do the quotes at me on a regular basis. --- Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time |
I'd
want to see a fictional contest so we can watch them bomb and everyone
agrees thereafter to stick to what the site is supposed to be about. --- Watch me play games! http://www.twitch.tv/lordofdabu |
I
would want to fill an all origins contest with just really dumb movie
tie-in game characters... Like figure out how many versions of the same
actor we could get into one contest so it's hush Jeff Bridges vs Jeff
Bridges or something in every match. --- For your SuperNiceDog. At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza |
How would Jason Brody do in this contest? Worse than Cole? |
what the hell is a jason brody --- ~Zen |
Ngamer64 posted... My non-traditional Noble Nine, JUST FOR THE RECORD I would take Joker over half your N9. He'd most likely be the Sephiroth to Batman's Cloud. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
ZenOfThunder posted... what the hell is a jason brody Main character of Far Cry 3 that you don't even know how he looks aside from flashback or something |
I've
always had doubts about the DBZ guys threatening the upper tiers in a
contest like this. Maybe I'm just biased cause I never watched DBZ
myself, but it's not nearly as universal as a lot of other series.
Everyone I know has seen Star Wars and Lord of the Rings and has some
experience with the major superheroes. On the other hand, there's plenty
of people that never watched DBZ. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. |
Brody would be uber-fodder. I played through Far Cry 3 and you're right, I couldn't even identify how he looks like. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
I'm
surprised at the reaction to Cole's performance. Just look at him!
There's no appeal to his design whatsoever. He's just a typical
western-designed character - ugly, plain features, boring clothes - and
looks like an everyman. This guy makes me long for Nathan Hale. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
charmander6000 posted... As a warning the Star Wars movies did not age well visually, more than the usual old movies. Duly noted. I've watched old Star Treks, so I should be used to it by now. MegatokyoEd posted... Oh man. This is seriously happening. Cole is pretty damn close to the percentage I predicted...but Ragna's TEN PERCENT HIGHER. Honest to god, if you took 10% from my GLaDOS prediction and moved it to Ragna, the result would be a 49.73. This is just... That weird moment where your expert challenge is doing just fine, your percentage on the second place finisher is highly respectable, and your Oracle still sucks because you massively underestimated the character that's still finishing last. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
TsunamiXXVIII posted... Yeah. I've seen the first two movies of the prequel trilogy, and if that's the "inferior product", I can only imagine the original trilogy is amazing. Oh wow my opinions on the first two prequels are exactly the opposite. Still, to each his own, and it's not like they are movies I like to talk about. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Also,
Tsunami, over that post in the other topic, I thought the PS1 was more
mainstream than the N64 and GameCube and Final Fantasy VII was the game
that made the PS1 big, hence why I said that FFVII was more mainstream
than Nintendo. Now it is no longer more mainstream, obviously. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
I'm still taking Link over Batman, but I think it'd be a heck of a match. The cool thing about getting non-traditional characters in, though, is that I think our regular guys take a huge dropoff after Link/Cloud/Mario/Snake/Samus/Seph, to the point where anything's possible elsewhere in the bracket. Like would you really feel confident picking Crono/Pikachu/Bowser/Luigi/Vincent/Tifa over Leonardo? Really? After further thought here's my revised Noble Nine Plus, because I do agree that I overrated Superman and underrated Joker in the last one. The New Noble Nine+ Batman Vader, Yoda, Han Solo, Obi-Wan, Boba Fett, Luke, Lando, R2-D2, 100 others Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Bilbo, rest of the Hobbits Spiderman Wolverine Homer Simpson James Bond Leonardo/Donatello/Michelangelo/Raphael/Splinter/Shredder Joker Iron Man Bart Simpson Superman Goku Aladdin Mufasa/Simba/Scar Magneto/Professor X/Gambit Dumbledore/Hermione/Harry/Ron/Snape Buzz Lightyear/Woody Indiana Jones Captain Jack Sparrow Hulk/Captain America/Thor/Deadpool/Doctor Doom/Juggernaut/Cyclops/Jean Grey/Sabretooth/Punisher/Venom/Green Goblin/Thing/Storm/Blade Cartman/Stan/Kyle/Kenny/Butters/Randy Optimus Prime/Megatron Sherlock Holmes Wonder Woman/Catwoman/Harley Quinn/Lex Luthor/Bane/Flash/Green Arrow/Green Lantern/Doomsday/Darkseid/Lobo --- thengamer.com/guru | thengamer.com/xstats | board8.wikia.com Oh gosh, you really should listen to The Show! |
fyi Ike > Robotnik > Proto Man and Epona > Niko > Mordin --- If you believe in Jesus Christ and are 100% proud, put this in your sig. Steam ID: hookd_on_foniks | I play lots of TF2 when I have nothing to do... |
Man I wonder if GLaDOS actually loses some updates in the dead hours. She barely drew 45% that last update. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Why would doctor irreleveant will beat Protoman |
I think Proto Man and Robotnik will be close, but Sonic fanboys. --- If you believe in Jesus Christ and are 100% proud, put this in your sig. Steam ID: hookd_on_foniks | I play lots of TF2 when I have nothing to do... |
Nah Protoman actually has a fanbase whereas Robotnik is just that Sonic villain. He's going to crush Robotnik. This is his first match where he's not against SFF or freakin Snake so I expect him to do really well. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Protoman is the one that can wreck brackets in that match. Robotnik is taking last, I guarantee it. --- Bracket score: 28 / Expert score: 144 |
Robotnik needed perhaps the most ridiculous picture in a non-sprite round of all time to beat Sin, and he did worse against Ganondorf than Ansem did. You know, the Ansem who was losing to CATS for several hours. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |
Assuming a constant Snake, Protoman's worth 61% against Isaac. That's better than 62% against Prinny. Of course, it's egregious to extrapolate in such manner, for all we know, this could be a weaker Isaac or a stronger Snake this year, the latter is a lot more possible. --- Zinsanity of the Helix Board |
You're also assuming a constant Protoman, which could be a mistake! --- Guess who I am! http://gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs3/1345748_o.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... Robotnik needed perhaps the most ridiculous picture in a non-sprite round of all time to beat Sin, and he did worse against Ganondorf than Ansem did. As bad as Sin's picture was, it still wasn't the worst picture of that round. That honor goes to Calendar Virgil vs. Imodium Ghaleon. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
As a whole picture, that may have been worse. But Fin Sin probably cost it that match, and it still almost won anyway. --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |

N shows typical Nintendo trends with the fast start, but he stays pretty consistent after that. Wander does a little better at night.

Can someone please use N stats with Wander to see if he was weaker than Lucario |
_SecretSquirrel posted... LeonhartFour posted...Robotnik needed perhaps the most ridiculous picture in a non-sprite round of all time to beat Sin, and he did worse against Ganondorf than Ansem did. What's so bad about that one? It looks kinda plain but not so terrible? (Also why the hell is Vergil 'calendar' Vergil there) |
It's literally a fin. Sin has a completely awesome monster design, and the match pic was a fin. Also, the match pic of Vergil has a small calendar in the lower corner of the pic. --- http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... It's literally a fin. ...Holy crap it does. Yeah, that does cement it as the worst pic ever while Sin is a huge contender for worst individual pic. Goddamn Ceej, you lazed out hard. |
A
lot of Ceej's match pics were sloppy, honestly, especially the first
couple years. There's probably a reason most of his match pics were up
against a white background. --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonhjpguz.jpg |
He took this picture from a promotional desktop wallpaper and didn't brush it out. http://www.gamersbin.com/attachments/f137/10400d1312545283-vergil-devil-may-cry-3-dantes-awakening-wallpaper-vergil-wallpaper-vergil.jpg --- Agent Triple Zero at your service!

I'm on of those 3 more tied at 140 for the expert leaderboard. Got this match perfect. Hopefully that puts me on it at noon. |
I'm predicting overall Mega Man boost, so I think Proto Man will impress. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
Im kinda surprised how bad people are doing in the expert bracket So much people between 0 and 50 points...but it can be due to stopping picking after a few rounds too |
I
considered dropping out of the Expert challenge after the first round
where I only gained points in 4 of the 9 matches. Then I realized how
much more fun it would be watching this contest if I was doing the
Expert challenge. I kind of wish I had banked in some matches, but I think I've gained from risking it as much as I would have gained from banking in matches I wasn't sure about. --- Bracket Pts: 30/31 Expert Pts: 130 Today's Picks: Proto Man > Ike & Epona > Niko |
Pretty
much the same for me. I figured my awful first division would put me
out of the running but I only stayed in it for the fun. Wouldn't be surprised if there were a ton of people that dropped out --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Match XXXII: (5) Ike vs. (14) Proto Man vs. (23) Dr. Ivo Robotnik Previous Contest Ike 2010 62.49% against Prinny 51.55% against Zidane Tribal 25.90% against Mario Proto Man 2010 27.65% against Solid Snake Dr. Ivo Robotnik Villains 51.32% against Sin 59.50% against Master Hand 23.36% against Ganondorf Analysis We have a Nintendo character and two pseudo-Nintendo characters here, but whether or not there will be SFF is questionable. Despite looking pretty bad against Prinny (maybe he has strength for some reason) Ike should have no problem winning this match. He was able to avoid getting tripled by Mario while Robotnik got tripled by Ganondorf and Proto Man did not perform too much better on a more neutral character. I feel people underestimate Ike on this board; his 2008 performance was quite impressive while Zidane probably received a Dissidia boost. The fight for second could be interesting. The board seems content on placing Robotnik in last, but besides his performance against Ganondorf he did not look half bad in the villains contest. Besides he is the main villain of one of the most known series in gaming. Sure he is no Bowser, but he will not be a complete weakling. Still Proto Man has shown that he is no slouch either. His performance against Snake is decent and it would have taken quite the SFF beat down by Ganondorf for Robotnik to come into contention. Even if it was true with Ike in the poll Robotnik could just as likely fold against the SFF hammer again. If Ike is able to SFF these two characters we could see him reach for some ridiculous percentages. I do not think Ike will SFF these characters, but the possibility is there. Regardless he will need to look as good as possible for him to show that he can take on GlaDOS even with the potential of Epona showing up. charmander6000s Bracket: Ike > Proto Man and Dr. Ivo Robotnik charmander6000s Prediction: Ike 44.74%, Proto Man 29.46%, Dr. Ivo Robotnik 25.80% --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 25/30 Today's Picks: GlaDOS and Ike |
So
is it safe to say that Robotnik is the weakest of the Noble Nine main
villains? Ganondorf and Bowser are obviously a lot stronger,
Sephroth/Cloud are obviously way stronger, whoever you classify as the
MGS main villain (I've never played MGS4) would dominate Robotnik.
Ridley and Wiley would probably be close but would still win. The only
one I could see Robotnik beating would be Lavos. --- http://i.imgur.com/CQVaT6Xl.jpg |
I have a bad feeling about Proto Man here... I think Robotnik is being totally underestimated and could beat him. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
