http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09vVF-Hvykg Look at my list, my list is amazing: http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/New_Characters --- ~*creativename's contest site (all things contest!)*~ www.gamefaqscontests.com ~*The Board 8 Wiki (lots of useful contest and board information, including all past Post-Contest Analysis from Ulti, transience, Ed Bellis and others)*~ http://board8.wikia.com/ ~*List of All Polls (a search bar is at the bottom)*~ http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html ~*NGamer64's Archive Sites (good stuff!) and (LOL) X-Stats Sim (some offensive language)*~ http://www.thengamer.com/ http://thengamer.com/xstats ~*GameFAQs Contests Hall of Fame*~ http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/GameFAQs_Contests_Hall_of_Fame http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/GameFAQs_Contests_Match_Hall_of_Fame ~*Character Contest Histories*~ http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Contest_Histories ~*Simple Explanation of Extrapolated Standings*~ A = Strongest Character B = Character Weaker than A C = Character Weaker than B To figure out a character's Xsts Percentage ---> [(CvB)(BvA)]/50 = CvA To compare how C would do against B ---> [(CvA)/(BvA)]*50 = CvB To figure out how B would do against A ---> [(CvA)/(CvB)]*50 = BvA ~*All the Match Pics*~ http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/index.php ~*Leonhart4's Trend Charts*~ https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?hl=en&key=tOGmynfNIiNy5VukpEF-PdA&hl=en#gid=0 ~*Daily Vote Trends - An Explanation for Dummies*~ http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Daily_Vote_Trends ~*Acronyms and Percentages for Dummies*~ http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Acronyms_and_Percentages ~*Say What? Common Stats Topic Lingo Defined*~ SFF (Same Fanbase Factor) - Same Fanbase Factor is the theory that, if two contestants share a common fanbase, the weaker of the two options will underperform in a direct matchup. For instance, Link was expected to defeat Ganon with 65% of the vote in 2004, based on their 2003 values. Instead, Link collected near 88% of the vote. This is the best example of SFF we've ever seen. However take some SFF labels with a grain of salt, as many people will slap it onto any match that doesn't make perfect sense. Extrapolated Standings - The mathematical "strength" of a contestant that's determined based on their performance relative to the rest of the field. This number is typically based on the contest entrant's loss, but adjustments are sometimes made. See above for a watered down explanation for how the stats are calculated. --- ~Zen |
YET AGAIN, here is the list of Pokemon we have on the list of potential newcomers for next contest: Blastoise, Blaziken, Bulbasaur, Ditto, Dragonite,If anyone wants to add/remove one, give a reason why (a good reason at this point is "f*** that pokemon") and I'll alter it full list here: http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/New_Characters --- ~Zen |
ZenOfThunder posted... YET AGAIN, here is the list of Pokemon we have on the list of potential newcomers for next contest: Is Gold not his official name, since Silver is after all, Silver? --- From: Regaro_Ukiera | MWC is god-tier |
Meowty, Rayquaza, and Oak are the way to go Professor Oak 2015 champ --- For your SuperNiceDog. At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza |
No
Venusaur? Can't say I'm not surprised though. The best of the original
starters can't also claim to be the most popular. That just wouldn't be
fair. --- Brawl FC - 1332 8069 6690 http://i.imgur.com/OZ9aS.png |
Who the f*** is Ethan --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
pjbasis posted... Who the f*** is Ethan Gold's anime name. Which means it is pretty good chance it IS his official name, since everyone elses anime name is their real name after Red and Blue.... I just thought it was Gold though. --- From: Regaro_Ukiera | MWC is god-tier |
Originally I had down "Pokemon Trainer Gold" but it turns out his new canon name is Ethan we can still nom Gold and Bacon prob wouldn't notice --- ~Zen |
Does the anime really matter though. At the very least I think he gains like 10% just by being named Gold --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
We just don't tell Bacon he's supposed to be Ethan, then. I'll change his name back to Gold and we'll speak no more of this. --- ~Zen |
We really don't need to find out if the trainer does better as Gold or Ethan. --- http://i52.tinypic.com/2zfiu09.gif http://i54.tinypic.com/10729w2.gif |
He would do better as Gold, but he wouldn't do well regardless. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
yeah I think we can safely skip "Ethan" --- For your SuperNiceDog. At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza |
I
am suggesting for the next contest that the only characters allowed in
are Pokemon. Who is the most popular Pokemon on GameFAQs out of the
1,000 that exist now? --- Operation Rainfall: Three for Three Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story & Pandora's Tower - released |
I feel like Garchomp should be on that list. --- sc2us: MileS.151 |
pjbasis posted... Does the anime really matter though. I mean, yeah, it does. The canon name of all the video game characters (Now that Gold is Canon Ethan) after Red and Blue is their anime name. That's probably not a coincidence. --- From: Regaro_Ukiera | MWC is god-tier |
It's true that we really don't need Pokemon humans from beyong Gen 1. Brock, Misty, Giovanni, Oak, and Lance would all destroy N. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
Goddamn, Squirtle --- The official rad dude of the Pokemon X board. |
The thing about saying Squirtle should drop to 57% and could even drop to 55%... it's not really that far off
from what he's getting now. His average throwing out the first 10
minutes is like 59%. FFT + Deus Ex could just win the night vote by a
small amount to drop it that far. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
They
were equal in 2008, Laharl has had more reason to become stronger since
then. Feeling pretty good about Dante, though I always thought the
match would be one of those close, but never in danger types. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 34/40 Today's Picks: Squirtle and Zidane |
Feeling pretty good about Dante right now. So long as nobody gets cute with a DmC pic, he seems ready to rock the house. |
Man what a monstrous drop. Feels good --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
Dante could quite possibly beat Charizard so i don't get why everyone is overrating the hell out of Squirtle. --- Zinsanity of the Helix Board |
Since Update 2, Squirtle has done nothing but lose percentage. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
14_and_counting posted... The canon name of all the video game characters (Now that Gold is Canon Ethan) after Red and Blue is their anime name. Never heard of this. Source or example? --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
BTW, Gold's "anime name" is not Ethan, it's Jimmy. http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Jimmy_%28Johto%29 Ethan is his canon game name. --- Operation Rainfall: Three for Three Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story & Pandora's Tower - released |
charmander6000 posted... They were equal in 2008, Laharl has had more reason to become stronger since then. Feeling pretty good about Dante, though I always thought the match would be one of those close, but never in danger types. Specifically, Laharl has been in a minimum of like four games AND he has a game specifically centered on him coming out soonish (Disgaea D2 if you're curious). He really, really should just clearly beat Ramza no matter how big or small the votebase becomes at this point. |
Alright I added Garchomp are there any other Pokemon that are above the Vyse fodder line ...Are all of them above the Vyse fodder line? --- ~Zen |
I
would not take Dante over Charizard (or Blastoise). There was a
bandwagon and all, but Charizard's performances on Bowser and Mario just
seemed too good even when factoring that in. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Kairi
should probably be added to the list of characters who should return. I
noticed she was one of the characters who had only one contest
appearance and at least one win when I was putting together my list,
earlier. She looked pretty solid. Around the same strength as all the
other secondary Kingdom Hearts characters. Also you should add Poison since she clearly would have a win if not for Bioshock Infinite being so relatively new. ..... Seriously, though, Kairi's a fair addition. (Ayane for CBX.) --- Ace Detective in Sir Chris' Police http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/5783/3989110m.png |
Ethan is his name in HeartGold Also would anyone consider Kyogre (or Groundon) in that list? --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 34/40 Today's Picks: Squirtle and Zidane |
Chart from the day match: Time | Dante | Laharl | Raz | Votes 0:05 | 52.56% | 31.69% | 15.75% | 508 1:00 | 58.38% | 27.41% | 14.21% | 4301 2:00 | 59.64% | 25.64% | 14.72% | 3370 3:00 | 61.76% | 24.89% | 13.35% | 3049 4:00 | 60.48% | 24.72% | 14.80% | 2662 5:00 | 57.11% | 27.67% | 15.22% | 2497 6:00 | 60.40% | 24.71% | 14.90% | 2222 7:00 | 60.73% | 25.79% | 13.48% | 2121 8:00 | 60.94% | 24.24% | 14.82% | 1910 9:00 | 60.59% | 26.26% | 13.16% | 1733 10:00 | 61.93% | 23.98% | 14.09% | 1710 11:00 | 61.40% | 25.26% | 13.35% | 1663 12:00 | 60.17% | 23.91% | 15.92% | 1564 Handily losing the board vote to Laharl and Raz. That's...something, all right. Dante manages to recover pretty well from the slow start though. X-Stats: Dante – 50.00% Laharl – 29.93% Raz – 19.23% Dante's prediction percentage was 89.88% --- Guess who I am! http://gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs3/1345748_o.gif |
Nidoran F was definitely below the VFL, though they'd all beat Vyse at this point Boss Fodder Line wave of the future --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Oh because if you pick the girl Ethan becomes another rival character, right --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
ZenOfThunder posted... Alright I added Garchomp I doubt like Wurmple is (thougth Caterpie probably is) but I would say SAFELY 600 of the Pokemon are above the Vyse fodder line --- From: Regaro_Ukiera | MWC is god-tier |
Put a Pokeball on that list. It's just as valid as L block and ? Block. Plus, it also has the iconic factor going for it. --- Brawl FC - 1332 8069 6690 http://i.imgur.com/OZ9aS.png |
Dante now projected up to 53.3% on Squirtle assuming Ramza = Laharl. --- sig |
Also Ramza's up to 32% on Squirtle now, for comparison's sake. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
Rad Link 5 you are slowly working your way up my favorite users list the list was pretty much just like, KP, Leon, Yo, and a few others, then a biiiig gap, then Rad Link 5, then another biiig gap, then everyone else but that gap is getting smaller and smaller --- ~Zen |
KamikazePotato posted... I would not take Dante over Charizard (or Blastoise). There was a bandwagon and all, but Charizard's performances on Bowser and Mario just seemed too good even when factoring that in. KP...you're talking about a game day performance seriously. Just...think about it for a second. A peformance on the day a game released for a character. Let's get real here. Use Charizard's performance against Duke instead. It's more legit. Just to hammer the point about how inflated Charizard's stats are... Duke Nukem (2010c) has a strength of 27.62 against Base Link. Duke Nukem (2004c) has a strength of 20.47 against Base Link Duke Nukem (2010c) wins with 62.94% of the vote! A win of 17,734 with 68,504 total votes cast. Are we really gonna argue Duke gained 7 points over six years in spite of his earlier performance being boosted by an absolutely amazing pic (Milk Nukem)? Really? |
Speaking
of Pokemon human names, I never understood why he's called "Pokemon
Trainer Red" in these contests instead of just "Red". I mean he is
simply called "Red" in Pokemon RBY. --- POKEFEAR |
The Squirtle picture on the results page reminds me of the Bidoof comics --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Well Duke did get an amazing pic against Charizard too (AMERICA) I also think Duke boosted a bit since 2004. Probably not 7 points but 2 or 3 wouldn't surprise me --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
tennisboy213 posted... Speaking of Pokemon human names, I never understood why he's called "Pokemon Trainer Red" in these contests instead of just "Red". I mean he is simply called "Red" in Pokemon RBY. It's an amalgam of his Brawl name (Pokemon Trainer), his Gold/Silver name (IIRC it is Pokemon Trainer Red), and yeah, his RBY name. |
tennisboy213 posted... Speaking of Pokemon human names, I never understood why he's called "Pokemon Trainer Red" in these contests instead of just "Red". I mean he is simply called "Red" in Pokemon RBY. I think it's because of Brawl. People wanted to call him "Pokemon Trainer" and others wanted "Red" so Bacon was like "SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP HE'LL BE BOTH" --- ~Zen |
Also Zen you were thinking of making a list of characters in this contest that could potentially miss the next contest. If the next contest is a 128 character bracket then everyone seeded 15-27 (except 2 characters) would have missed the contest, anyone seeded 11-14 would be in likely danger of missing as well then you have to consider characters with board rallies (NRT, guru, independent). --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 34/40 Today's Picks: Squirtle and Zidane |
Charizard would kill Duke these days. DNF only made him weaker. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Speaking

Trainer Red" in these contests instead of just "Red". I mean he is
simply called "Red" in Pokemon RBY. He's refered to it when you battle him. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 34/40 Today's Picks: Squirtle and Zidane |
