It's not Ryu, it's Yuri. As in the same one who got 13% on Samus back in 2005. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Baseman posted... So Lara > Yuri > Slime? Yuri was the weakest character in 2005, and Shadow Hearts has fewer fans here than Madden. I'd take every character we've seen so far except Chester to at worst have a 50/50 shot at beating Yuri. I'd be floored if Yuri came close to 2nd. |
Ok, cool thanks. --- ...--|D)--.................. ...--|D)ASEMAN--... |
Hey now Yuri could beat Caim --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
1337gamerpr0 posted... machinegungeek posted...I think Ratchet is doing poorly not due to his PS2 origins (or at least too much from this) but from the fact that Altair also thrives on recognition votes. Jak/Spyro relied on weak, niche competition. Altair, on the other hand, is probably exerting recognizability SFF on Ratchet. Or something. He didn't word it well, but what he's talking about is the reason why I was so astonished that people didn't have Spyro winning. Replace Altair with another character of that strength that isn't as mainstream, and Ratchet probably wins. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite?

Then00bAvenger posted... Hey now Caim is one of those '50/50's! |
1337gamerpr0 posted... LOLContests posted...ChenKenichiFan posted...Yeah but we can't just arbitrarily throw around "third place factor" when we clearly don't understand it. Reyn had even less reason to get "third place factor'd" than Shulk because Reyn stood out more. By the time the match started, it was obvious he'd be in third place. Heck, pretty much from the moment Dunban's match started. But before the contest, people actually thought Xenoblade could do okay. It was a big-name, critically-acclaimed RPG, and this site loves RPGs. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |

LinkMarioSamus posted... Nanis23 posted...2007 was 6 years ago so I don't remember With Epona, all the hipster nerds were upset that the horse from one of the best and most popular games of all time was beating their obscure Waifu JRPG character. With L-Block, it was just an obsurdly hilarious joke that "ruined" the "seriousness" of the contest. Both groups were moronic. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite?

I don't think we've had a Shadow Hearts game since 2006 and I don't even think Yuri was in that one. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 27/32 Today's Picks: Epona and Altair |
I never have heard of Shadow Hearts |
Baseman posted... So Lara > Yuri > Slime? Slime could potentially win! (Okay, it's not very likely, but Yuri certainly has no chance of making that happen!) --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |

Epona, all the hipster nerds were upset that the horse from one of the
best and most popular games of all time was beating their obscure Waifu

L-Block
was loved on the Board for most of its run when it was a joke that we
were playing on the rest of the site. It wasn't until people from
outside GameFAQS got involved and it became a joke that was being played
on *us*, and until people started coming on the board and attacking us,
that people turned against it. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... LinkMarioSamus posted...Nanis23 posted...2007 was 6 years ago so I don't remember What the heck? Epona's victory came against two Western characters. Her opponents next round are another Western character and a character who's in Brawl, which is pretty much a guarantee of not being "obscure" (though it also at least does make you Japanese). The only "female" of the four is a freakin' AI. But please, go on about how pissed people are about Epona beating their waifus. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
I wonder if Yuri from Red Alert can be stronger than Yuri from Shadow Hearts...! |

Jak/Spyro relied on weak, niche competition. Altair, on the other hand, is probably exerting recognizability SFF on Ratchet. Or something. People didn't have Spyro winning because they never learn that the only franchises you can trust to automatically give a character strength are those that are primarily associated with video games. It's the same reason why people thought that the name Darth Revan and a lightsaber in his match pic would be enough to beat Terra, and it didn't happen. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar.

Epona can't replicate that first hour magic, tanks overnight, and recovers a bit with the morning vote. Mordin and Niko do their best work at night. X-Stats: Epona – 50.00% Mordin Solus – 39.73% Niko Bellic – 29.89% Epona's prediction percentage was 53.27% --- http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/9919/leonhart.png |

It's
the same reason why people thought that the name Darth Revan and a
lightsaber in his match pic would be enough to beat Terra, and it didn't
happen. We also didn't expect Terra to be that strong, Revan does have some strength. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 27/32 Today's Picks: Epona and Altair |

Darth Revan didn't flop, it was just Terra being stronger than expected.

Revan would've beaten Terra if not for Dissidia. --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!" |

LeonhartFour posted... Revan would've beaten Terra if not for Dissidia. I remember I picked Terra initially, then I think the board convinced me to switch to Revan. Similarly, I picked Gilgamesh initially to win a match this contest, then the board convinced me to switch to Booker.

on *us*, and until people started coming on the board and attacking us,
that people turned against it. No it wasn't there were a lot of people upset that it made the contest, that's where the whole "some people don't know how to have fun" thing came up. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 27/32 Today's Picks: Epona and Altair |
Reminder
that even if Draven gets a massive rally and wins, it won't be nearly
as big of an upset as L-Block, who many experts on the board had losing
to Laharl. |
Yeah,
I don't recall the exact level of board favorability all throughout
L-Block's run, but there was opposition from the very beginning. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Most people were excited as hell for those L-Block board votes though. I think Moltar (jokingly) called L-Block > Link a minute into Block/Kirby! |
I still don't understand why people are afraid of Draven There is one thing to beat Jak and totally different thing to beat Link I believe Ryu and X SFFing each other will be enough to make Draven look like a joke as well |
Nanis23 posted... I still don't understand why people are afraid of Draven because of LoL rallying, because I suspect LoL has more of a hivemind compared to most other fanbases |
Nanis23 posted... I still don't understand why people are afraid of Draven The fear comes from the Draven side becoming increasingly prepared and more effective over time, I think. If nothing else, there was a considerable amount of time in the Jak match where Draven wasn't making use of a rally, that's an area that can easily be "improved" upon. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
If Draven wins Round 2, then I'm totally rooting for him to upset Link just for the hilarious result. --- The Gamer In Me "Ike and Ash & Co. saw a Yoshi and didn't catch it." - Mer telling us his dream. |
I
would worry more about Teemo, but if Draven can beat Ryu/X, then it's
worth discussion as Round 3 is 24 hours which will make it easier for
LoL to get a massive rally going. Link is going to also be receiving his
fair share of anti-votes in the beginning and that's all it will take
if the LoL rally is anything like L-Block in 2007. |
1337gamerpr0 posted... Nanis23 posted...I still don't understand why people are afraid of Draven Yes but that so-called rally let him beat Jak by 2900 votes Yoshi beat Jak with 76% Draven can't beat Draven even with a stronger rally...it just won't happen |
tgs2 posted... I would worry more about Teemo, but if Draven can beat Ryu/X, then it's worth discussion as Round 3 is 24 hours which will make it easier for LoL to get a massive rally going. Link is going to also be receiving his fair share of anti-votes in the beginning and that's all it will take if the LoL rally is anything like L-Block in 2007. the thing is nobody really anti-voted L-Block, people will anti-vote Draven quite heavily |
I still don't understand why people are afraid of Draven There is one thing to beat Jak and totally different thing to beat Link I believe Ryu and X SFFing each other will be enough to make Draven look like a joke as well Joke/Rallied characters don't follow strengths, let's say MMX gets 15k and Draven 2k votes in a normal match, Draven would need 13k to win which based on his peak performance is something he is capable of doing. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 27/32 Today's Picks: Epona and Altair |

Fingers crossed the LoL guys here make noises in the right places to make this happen. --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
Remember, Draven only had 20% in a match with Jak and Chie.
He's going to be starting from an even bigger deficit next time, and he
has to deal with the fact that a lot of these LoL guys are going to be
fans of MMX and Ryu as well. --- http://i.imgur.com/fe05x.png http://i.imgur.com/stNJf.png |
People
are entirely underestimating LoL's fanbase if they think he can't win
the whole thing. If riot puts a link on their client for an hour, he
will get more votes than most matches have. --- rawr |
Also, woo Altair. He was kind of a douche in AC1 but Revelations redeemed his character to the point that I'm rooting for him. Of course, there'll be an issue if he ends up outperforming Ezio. And I only realized today that SPRING BREEZE DANCIN'!!!!!!! 's match is on Monday omg the hype. --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
Let's
suppose Link goes down for a moment here. Just how bad does it get for
the remainder of the contest? I'm thinking the floodgates burst open at
that point and it just becomes ugly for Sephiroth and Cloud/Snake. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Now that people see him as a potential Link-breaker, he should have an increase in base strength. Not to mention, that previous rally only started 3 hours into the match, if the fanbase rallies him right from the get-go in the next match, it could get ugly easily. --- The cycle of life and death continues. We will live. And they will die. |
Altair was worse in Revelations. I liked him better when he was just generic assassin dude. --- 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 |
Assuming
Jak doubling Draven held true Draven got about 9.5k rallied votes,
they'll have more work to do, but winning is something they are capable
of doing. We'll wait to see what Teemo does. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 27/32 Today's Picks: Epona and Altair |
Obviously
with Link gone, there's no need to fight anymore, so Draven falls to
Sephiroth, leading to a Cloud/Sephiroth split allowing Mario to win it
all. |
But Sephiroth is gonna lose to Kirby! --- http://img.imgcake.com/KommunistKoala/koalajpgehsa.jpg http://img.imgcake.com/KKpngat.png |
Colegreen_c12 posted... People are entirely underestimating LoL's fanbase if they think he can't win the whole thing. If riot puts a link on their client for an hour, he will get more votes than most matches have. If Riot puts a link to Gamefaqs in the in-game client than by all means,Draven/Teemo wins the character battle Summoner Showcase gets 200-300k views in the first day and they are 4 minutes talk about NAILS AND PLUSHIES (yes i'm serious http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLY3iktPo2I&feature=player_embedded ) So clicking on a link,pressing a button that takes 3 seconds will not be a problem And if all the views that those videos get in a day goes to a gamefaqs poll..then we will have the poll with most votes ever (the Record was 195k? ) and about 10x as much votes as a regular match now But that only if Riot will do it...and they won't |
