You know, today's poll seems familiar... http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3463 Oh, right. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Looking
at the remaining potential Pokemon on the list, Gardevoir stands out as
the weak link to me. Gen 3, not a legendary or starter. Does have its
fans but lots of non-legendaries/non-starters in RBY do too. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Yawn still boring. wake me up when division 6 starts --- https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BMcwhStCYAAr-mC.jpg Dallas Cowboys and Mavs |
I get the feeling that that's no accident. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
I kinda hope Bacon institutes a special Pokemon cap if this discussion takes it's logical course. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

Hey, Gardevoir would get votes from the more... special segment of Pokemon fans. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
OK, i just lol IRL about the idea of having a Pokemon Character Battle Contest with Link winning anyway |
I like the idea of having a special contest where the only entrants are characters who have never been in one of these things. --- Brawl FC - 1332 8069 6690 http://i.imgur.com/OZ9aS.png |

BTW
assuming a constant Ramza, Squirtle is on Aeris's level while JC Denton
is weaker than EVERY character from the 2010 bracket other than Sandal. I would've thought JC to be stronger than in 2004 since his game's on Steam, but I guess not. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
You don't need Link when you've got http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-bw/599.shtml I'm aware someone else made that joke already. --- Haman Korn! You're the source of all kernels in this world! Your time has come! -Cornille You've made a poor choice for your final popping place! -Haman Korn |

I
would've said yes to that before the past couple contests, but we have
seriously scraped the bottom of the barrel out entirely. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
LeonhartFour posted... SunSolFlare posted...I say we add Metal Sonic to the list. Sonic CD being widely released on everything (except Nintendo lol), plus his likeness to Sonic could net him a win. He is liked among the "classic" side of the fanbase. He definitely isn't disliked like many of the other Sonic characters . --- 3DS FC: 0533-4894-2073 |
I'm
part of the "classic" side of the fanbase and Metal Sonic is pretty
whatever. He's a couple of (admittedly cool) boss fights, but that's it. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
However,
if you plug JC's 2004 value into the 2010 x-stats, Squirtle is
projected to be the strongest Pokemon ever seen in a contest.
Meanwhile, Ramza is overperforming by about 2.5% on JC going off of
their last known x-stat values, putting 2013 Ramza on the same level as
2010 HK-47 (speaking of which, how did no one from KOTOR get into this
contest?) assuming a constant JC. JC is definitely weaker. Makes sense too, since in spite of his game being more easily accessible now due to Steam, it's definitely not as big. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
I never understood why people consider Gorebyss and Huntail forgotten They are gimmick Pokemon, you don't forget gimmick Pokemon Personally as a big Pokemon fan I don't think there is a single Pokemon I consider "forgotten" but casuals opinion on this subject is more important |
Nanis23 posted... I never understood why people consider Gorebyss and Huntail forgotten ...i didn't even know they had a gimmick --- .-#Elements of Water#-. |
Blastoise and Bulbasaur are all we need. Pichu if you just want to round out the Smash Bros Melee cast along with Roy. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
Nanis23 posted... I never understood why people consider Gorebyss and Huntail forgotten They are considered forgotten because people forget about them. There is no reason for a common player to give one damn about Huntail and Gorebyss once they've been added to the Pokédex, and if you're not trying to complete the Pokédex, then there's no reason whatsoever. They're just a couple generic Water-types that are hard to obtain and don't really stick out at all. The only notable thing about them outside of competitive battling is the split evolution, and how one of them kinda sorta looks like the other one backwards. I also remember one anime episode where a boy said that Gorebyss was cool and a girl said that Huntail was cute. --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
Honestly
I feel like a good 60% of Pokemon that are post gen 1 would be
virtually identical when it comes to contest strength. The ones that
wouldn't be would be the ones that are really early in the game or
really strong or have some sorta noted following for any other reason.
Most Pokemon past the beginning of the game are just catch and go at
best for casual Pokemon fans. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
How would a Team Rocket Grunt do? I'd take it over Ethan/Gold IMO --- sc2us: MileS.151 |
How much ˘ would the weakest Pokémon be worth? --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
Split evolution depending on item in trade is a gimmick unique to them This is like saying Karrablast and Shelmet are forgettable |
All
this talk about "we shouldve nominated this we shouldve nominated that"
reminds me that the best character on the DS is not in the contest Dahlia Hawthorne would be weaker than Miles but at least she would go head to head with 47! |
How
about this: if Bayonetta 2 is extremely well received and (by the grace
of God) Bayonetta is actually given a guest spot in Smash, do you take
her to beat Dante? --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif |

Nanis23 posted... Split evolution depending on item in trade is a gimmick unique to them Karrablast/Shelmet at least have a 100% unique method of evolution. Huntail and Gorebyss… That's way too boring to be a gimmick! There are plenty of split evolutions, that's not even notably different. http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_with_branched_evolutions Do they really stand out among that crowd? How about this, Poochyena is a gimmick Pokémon because it's the only Dark-type to evolve by reaching Lv. 18. --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
And
going just by gut feeling and relative familiarity with Pokemans,
Gardevoir would most likely be just as terrible as Lucario, but probably
weaker. I never understood why people were into it. Poor man's Alakazam
imo --- The Great GameFAQs Character Battle IX contest: 35/40 pts NP: Squirtle > Ramza Beoluve > JC Denton |
Reading
this topic makes me sick. I can't be the only one who's really tired of
all these Pokemon. I realize some of them could have strength, but I'd
rather see new fodder characters than more Pokemon. I guess I'd be fine
with 1 or 2 Pokemon newcomers per contest, assuming we lose a few of the
ones in this contest. Replace N and Jiggly with Blastoise and Ivysaur
if the next contest follows the same format. I don't want to see 5 new
entrants from Pokemon each contest. I realize this may be hypocritical, since I have no qualms with our current number of FF characters, but the idea of turning these contests into a Pokemon battle just doesn't appeal to me at all, even if they would be our strongest newcomers. --- Bracket score: 37 / Expert score: 186 |
Oh,
trust me. I'm with you. Like I said before, if our best solution is to
oversaturate the bracket with Pokemon, I'm going to lose interest very
quickly. --- http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o8250gifyd.gif http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o6250gifuv.gif |
Yeah, let's focus on getting more joke characters in instead. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
LeonhartFour posted... Oh, trust me. I'm with you. Like I said before, if our best solution is to oversaturate the bracket with Pokemon, I'm going to lose interest very quickly. I would at least assume these entrants come at the expense of the less popular entries we've seen, such as N and Jigglypuff. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service!

I
think I'm gonna bank on the Shadow match, after taking Shadow for
first. I have no idea who might suck less between his 2 opponents --- The Great GameFAQs Character Battle IX contest: 35/40 pts NP: Squirtle > Ramza Beoluve > JC Denton |
Yu beating Shadow is more likely than Yu losing to the third character there --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Yeah,
don't do that. If you're positive Shadow will win (and he should, by
all means) then take Yu in second place. Persona isn't THAT bad; no
chance Kat can do anything but third. --- Still smilin' :> |
Hasn't Persona bombed so far though....? man, I need to play more modern video games :( --- The Great GameFAQs Character Battle IX contest: 35/40 pts NP: Squirtle > Ramza Beoluve > JC Denton |
Chie
put up nice numbers. Granted she still lost to Jak, but I don't think
Jak is particularly weak. Chie would have beaten Draven without his
rally also, and there's pretty much no way Kat is even that strong. --- Still smilin' :> |
Chie was beating Draven pretty easily until he got rallied. Persona 4 didn't do terrible in the games contest either. I mean it wasn't a strong showing for her but Kat probably wouldn't have been able to do that. Maybe I should've refreshed before posting whatever --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Even if P4 had bombed, Kat is from a Vita exclusive. She's one of those characters people speculate can pull Tanner numbers. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
so much pokemon in here all of a sudden I blame...KP --- F*** BT |
ChenKenichiFan posted... How about this: if Bayonetta 2 is extremely well received and (by the grace of God) Bayonetta is actually given a guest spot in Smash, do you take her to beat Dante? No. Ninty support is not enough to go from where Bayonetta is to Dante's 2010 level, unless Bayonetta 2 turns out to be the second Ocarina of Time. Dante is all character design, and there ain't no Smash that can buy the popularity that brings. |

Well, she's also DLC in PS Battle Royale, but really, who cares about that? --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
Hmm... Do you think there's a chance Hades could benefit from Dracula effect(people voting for the general Hades instead of just the specific character) and threaten Simon Belmont? --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Then00bAvenger posted... Hmm... Unlike Dracula, nobody thinks vanilla Hades is cool. It's all about James Woods Hades, so no. |
Squirtle make this one a wash, onto the next battle. --- @w@ Gamertag: SliceSabre |
Match XLII: (8) Spring Breeze Dancin’ vs. (11) Zidane Tribal vs. (20) Ridley Previous Contest Spring Breeze Dancin’ – N/A N/A Zidane Tribal – 2010 64.36% against Claptrap 48.45% against Ike Ridley – 2010 28.28% against Cloud Strife Analysis I originally took Zidane in this match without too much thought, but now I am quite worried that Ridley can pull off the upset. Even taking into account that Cloud is weaker and Ridley may have gotten some anti-vote support his performance was good. I feel the board was a bit harsh on Ridley due to him losing in the first round in the villain’s contest, but considering where Diablo finished he did end up having some strength. After watching Ike go even with Proto Man things do not look so great for Zidane as that technically places him below Ridley in the 2010 x-stats. Of course everyone could have different strengths 3 years later, but being place in the same neighbourhood almost begs for the upset. I always thought Dissidia would have helped Zidane more like it did to Cecil, Terra and Kefka, but I guess not. Spring was a board rally which is why he was given one of the “board” 8 seeds. He could be one of the weakest characters in the entire bracket. Just to put it in perspective Goemon, the main character of Mystic Ninja got 27.79% against Pac-Man in 2002, today he would likely get beaten even worse. What will stop him from being a Chester are his funny name and flashy picture. I am going to stick with Zidane, but I would not be surprised if Ridley pulls the upset. It would be nice to see Ridley finally win a match, though it will be 8 years too late for my contest bracket. charmander6000’s Bracket: Zidane Tribal > Ridley and Spring Breeze Dancin’ charmander6000’s Prediction: Zidane Tribal – 47.58%, Ridley – 45.87%, Spring Breeze Dancin’ – 6.55% --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 34/40 Today's Picks: Squirtle and Zidane |
Dancin'
might also get bracket votes. I have a feeling casuals will vote for
him as they may have taken the highest seed in their brackets. Between
Ridley (Nintendo/Smash) and seed bracketing, I feel like the casuals
might get destroyed if Zidane holds on here. |
