Me calling Peach jokefodder is one thing that HASN'T changed since 2005 and dammit that's how she'll always be to me --- sig |
The
last contest was three years ago, and the audience that votes in these
contests today is probably quite different from 2010. Times change,
preferences change, the audience changes - I don't have a hard time
believing certain characters would do better now compared to past
contests with all that in mind. Kuja I wouldn't expect to do much
better, or worse, but I can see Robotnik and Protoman being a bit better
than they were. I'm not arguing for Ike here, though, because it's not
like he's maintained and the others caught up. It's probably a mixture
of both. I just see a lot of 'TO A FIN' and it's like that matters about
as much as Cloud beating Link that one time. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Hey,
if you think Jill Valentine and Gordon Freeman are jokefodder, and if
you believe Crash Bandicoot = Crono, then that's your business. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |

Kirby/Terra/Peach
or Ike/Proto Man/Robotnik for highest strength floor? Feels like Peach
> Robotnik to me, but I might be wrong about that. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
that's what happens when you use a lot of e's man this is how these things work --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |

Actually I forgot all about Falcon/Alucard/Rydia. That's probably the one. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
Does Protoman has a change? --- 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~ |
peach is very weak and the last matchup proved it next match will be fun --- Psalm 73:20: As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. |
Turning back to the actual match (shock), if Protoman can keep stalling and throwing in the occasional cut, I'd wager he might
have a chance to come back here. Mega Man has one of the best second
night votes in the contest, if I remember correctly? Trends have been
inconsistent at best this year though. --- sig |
Proto
Man's hanging on. Maybe if he can stall it out to the last 3-4 hours
while being down less than 300-400 votes he can make a move. I think
he's got little chance though. Ike's saved by his day match strength
(again). --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |

As
funny as "a fin" was, FFX characters have shown to have decent
strength, if Jecht can defeat Phoenix Wright then Sin in fin form can
have some strength. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 25/30 Today's Picks: GlaDOS and Ike |

KamikazePotato posted... Ridley is ranked in the top half of the 2010 stats, around Ness, Tidus, Riku ect. Either he overperformed on Cloud or he's legit. Neither would surprise me too much. I think Ridley would seriously beat Tidus. There's the serious irony that Tidus's game would probably beat any game that Ridley is in in a GameFAQs contest, but then again Tidus's game would do even better against anything with Sub-Zero and we know how that worked out. Yeah, I think Tidus could find a way to pull off that choke job. Out of curiosity, would Ridley be another "I would have taken an easy first place in most threepacks this contest" character? --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Yay, another pic of mine was used! Just glad that it wasn't Ike's usual PoR art on the character page that's constantly used. --- "In fact, I should just play good games from now on... Man, F*** THAT, let's play some s***ty ones!" - Angry Video Game Nerd |
charmander6000 posted... peach is very weak and the last matchup proved it I will admit that is not a 'fair' match-up for Peach due to SFF. Kirby is not going to ever fall to some low-tier Nintendo character. Ever. Never. --- @w@ Gamertag: SliceSabre |
tennisboy213 posted... 152 vote lead for both Same, except 209-vote lead --- POKEFEAR |
how the hell does Proto Man keep ending up with exactly 1/3 of the votes |
Robotnik falling close to the 30% line. Might hit sub 30% and he'll look weaker than he really is for later years contests. --- @w@ Gamertag: SliceSabre |
Robotnik would win in a night match. --- nt |
And
it's time for Robotnik to cut Ike's lead. Wouldn't surprise me if he
started a serious comeback because that's how crazy this match is. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. SuperNiceDog > Me |
Tidus
dropping a match to Ridley would floor me. I mean, to say he's a
contentious FF lead is an understatement, but... at least people care
about him. I've never heard anyone give a damn about Ridley, ever,
without me at least suspecting it was some kind of elaborate troll.
Heck, pairing Samus with Ridley almost caused them to drop a match to
the Bosses! --- sig |

Never. Of course not, he's up there with Luigi/Bowser/Yoshi/Zelda/Ganondorf in terms of Nintendo characters with strength, but without SFF Kirby would not be able to double Peach. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 25/30 Today's Picks: GlaDOS and Ike |

Barring
some really odd trends, they should be set in this order, but this is
certainly something. I'd lean towards impressive from Robotnik rather
than weakness from the other two, but you never know... --- *shrug* |

There's also a large Ridley hatebase too because of said fanbase for Ridley in smash so Ridley probably gets anti-votes from them. --- @w@ Gamertag: SliceSabre |
Proto
Man doesn't have much reason to be weaker now compared with 2010, if
anything he may be slightly stronger due to Mega Man's announcement to
SSB4. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 25/30 Today's Picks: GlaDOS and Ike |

What was that Ike monster update I'm outta here,it's over |
I feel like I'm the only one who has noticed that Auron is the only FFX character to do jack in these contests. Tidus, Rikku and Yuna all have strength, they are just unlucky to get difficult opponents. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 25/30 Today's Picks: GlaDOS and Ike |
Tidus always runs into overseeded opponents, while Yuna and Rikku are always underseeded. But I'll be honest, it's definitely not a good thing to be the only character who has been in every contest, yet has never made the third round (Gordon Freeman sure is lucky!). --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Ridley
is dumb but so is Yoshi, Kirby, ect. Nintendo fans having a strange and
irrational love for him would be par for the course. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Heck, I'd like to point out that Samus is Top 5 despite none of her games being especially strong or cares about. Nintendo fans! --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Metroid Prime is strong enough. --- *2, *8,070,446 Kuroko no Basket *3, *6,495,240 Naruto |
KamikazePotato posted... Heck, I'd like to point out that Samus is Top 5 despite none of her games being especially strong or cares about. Nintendo fans! Samus has Smash (and no Ridley's 'appearance' in Brawl doesn't count). Moreover, Samus's relationship to her games is all just her benefiting from design. Look how much stronger Dante is compared to the DMCs, it's like that.. --- sig |

Heck, pairing Samus with Ridley almost caused them to drop a match to the Bosses! Ridley just feels like the perfect character to take advantage of anti-votes to me. He did so against Cloud, after all! And now he stands a good chance of actually beating an FF lead, too. Scary. As for the whole deal with Ridley weakening Samus in Rivalry Rumble...that's because Samus gets most of her strength from Smash Bros. Same deal with Kirby - Kirby's just a notch behind Sonic in strength and Meta Knight would wipe the floor with Eggman, yet pairing Meta Knight with Kirby weakened Kirby relative to Sonic because Kirby gets his strength from Smash Bros. Which is why I think any analysis based on that contest needs to stop. Not only was that contest so bad that I wasn't around for a good chunk of it, but it's worthless in terms of deducing character strength. Absolutely worthless. It would sooner help for a series or games contest, honestly. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
