Magus from CT vs. The Magus Sisters vs. Strago Magus --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |

We've never gotten a good read on Wario, but he probably beats Magus Seriously guys Magus ranked 84th out of 128 in 2010 --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Wario has literally never gotten 40% in any poll he's ever been in. --- http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/9919/leonhart.png |
kinsho3 posted... Karma Hunter posted...No, Alucard and Falcon are low midcarders, people need to accept that - the latter essentially put up the same number on Cloud as Ridley did. Magus is bordering on fodder these days. Alucard has considerably weakened from his heyday. Like, a *lot*. He can't even come close to contending with someone like Sub-Zero anymore. He choked a match away to Liquid Snake. Falcon's not strong, and he can barely even handle him. He's a low midcarder. --- sig |
Simon picture is terrible Like,if the name was just "Simon" without the "Belmont" I would never know it's Simon Simon is generic looking anyway...so this picture is..ugh |
Whoa, whoa. Keep in mind that Zidane lost to Ike. Ike is no midcarder. He almost lost to Proto Man. --- Drop it to the floor... |
Alucard vs. Magus --- Pts: 38/44 Today's Picks: Gordon Freeman & Crono IX: Link-VV-BB-SS-Cloud-Sora-Samus-Mario-Zard |
I have no issues with Proto Man being around that level, either. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
kinsho3 posted... Whoa, whoa. Keep in mind that Zidane lost to Ike. Ike is no midcarder. He almost lost to Proto Man. Ike is a midcarder. So is Protoman. I think people like to hold those Prinny and Claptrap matches against Ike and Zidane in 2010, but those guys are just better than we expected. Prinny just proved it a few days ago (granted, against Cloud, but still). --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |
Karma Hunter posted... kinsho3 posted...Karma Hunter posted...No, Alucard and Falcon are low midcarders, people need to accept that - the latter essentially put up the same number on Cloud as Ridley did. Magus is bordering on fodder these days. For what it's worth, he did destroy Liquid the next round though. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
Falcon isn't that weak, he straight up beat Riku. It's just implausible to think Zidane blows out Falcon, Alucard, Riku and all these other guys now. Dissidia boost I guess... --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
kinsho3 posted... Whoa, whoa. Keep in mind that Zidane lost to Ike. Ike is no midcarder. He almost lost to Proto Man. Zidane can't handle Sub-Zero, either. He certainly has the potential to win a match against Alucard, however. --- sig |
Also, low midcarder doesn't even necessarily mean they're that strong. It usually just means 20-25% on Base Link. --- http://i52.tinypic.com/2zfiu09.gif http://i54.tinypic.com/10729w2.gif |
_SecretSquirrel posted... For what it's worth, he did destroy Liquid the next round though. And got destroyed by Yuna in the process! --- 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 |
Taking
Otocon to beat Magus just because he always flops is dumb. Thats the
same as taking Yu to beat Shadow yesterday, or Phoenix over Gordon back
in 2006. Even a choke artist wins if the compeitition is really weak.
Magus probably gets over 50% tomorrow and you guys will look foolish --- Feeling tired? Allow me to prescribe you a peppermint latte |
From: LeonhartFour | Posted: 7/31/2013 1:16:55 AM | #104 Wario has literally never gotten 40% in any poll he's ever been in. Funny but meaningless trivia. He's only had one 1v1 match. Squall also didn't get 40% in his first 1v1 match. --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
Shadow has actually looked decent. Speaking of which Shadow (2010c) VS Magus (2010c) Shadow has a strength of 26.42. Magus has a strength of 23.40. Shadow wins with 55.72% of the vote! A win of 8,385 with 73,354 total votes cast. To beat Magus, Otacon only has to be slightly stronger than Yu Narukami --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Xuxon posted... Funny but meaningless trivia. He's only had one 1v1 match. Squall also didn't get 40% in his first 1v1 match. He didn't get 40% in a match with Jade Curtiss and pre-Dissidia Cecil either! hey guys remember when people thought Wario could beat Zack --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
Karma Hunter posted... kinsho3 posted...Karma Hunter posted...No, Alucard and Falcon are low midcarders, people need to accept that - the latter essentially put up the same number on Cloud as Ridley did. Magus is bordering on fodder these days. You keep bashing Falcon but you have faith in Pit to beat Cecil? WTF? --- Feeling tired? Allow me to prescribe you a peppermint latte |
as is just I don't see what's wrong with this site why would more than 40% of you ever vote against Snake it doesn't make logical sense --- sig |
MegatokyoEd posted... Falcon isn't that weak, he straight up beat Riku. Well, "blows out" is certainly a bit much. Straight up beating them isn't out of the realm of possibility unless you think all of those guys are clearly stronger than Ike. --- http://i.imgur.com/fe05x.png http://i.imgur.com/stNJf.png |

League of Legends fans gearing up for the Draven rally early http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/954437-league-of-legends/66860423 --- ~Zen |
Also, if you subscribe to the notion that Alucard overperformed on Link, then Magus looks even worse I personally don't, but I know a certain hunter of karmas has mentioned it once or twice! --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Poor Magus. Remember when this happened? http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/1338 --- Fortune favors the bold. -Virgil |
You
know, it's kind of weird that people are reluctant to have faith in
Zidane being strong, just like for a while people were reluctant to have
faith in Captain Falcon being strong. Guess what they have in common? Getting blown out by Crono in their debuts! --- http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo22vfguji1qzxr43.gif |
rpgsruleall posted... Poor Magus. Remember when this happened? http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/1338 Now we have two matches establishing that Ganondorf loses to CATS --- sig |
rpgsruleall posted... Poor Magus. Remember when this happened? http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/1338 I remember even the FANFICTION for this being great. Magus got the Triforce of Power. Still gives me the nerd shivers to this day. Probably one of my favorite Board 8 memories, which is kind of sad. And great. --- ~Zen |
LeonhartFour posted...
Proto Man is not a midcarder. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3778 As much as I'd love for Proto Man to have some sway in these contests, he's simply not that strong, period. And for those of you who say Sub-Zero would obliterate the likes of Captain Falcon, well, in 2010... Captain Falcon got 30% against Cloud. Sub-Zero got 33% against Samus. And Samus got 47% against Cloud. I suck with x-stat math, but it's quite clear even without extrapolating here that according to the stats, Captain Falcon would put up a damn good fight against Sub-Zero in a head-to-head match-up. --- Drop it to the floor... |

Guess what they have in common? Add Kefka to that list. --- "When your enemies defy you, you must serve them steel and fire. When they go to their knees, however, you must help them back to their feet." |
LeonhartFour posted... MegatokyoEd posted...Falcon isn't that weak, he straight up beat Riku. I would call what Zidane did to Ridley pretty much a blow out. I would be surprised if Zidane could do that to one of those guys. I wouldn't be surprised if he won a close one against them. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
That result you posted is basically what a midcarder gets on Solid Snake. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Aybody
else disappointed CT gets no interesting matches this year? Crono, Frog
and Magus as well as the game CT itself have all always been involved
in great matches. But Magus and Frog in particular get really wasted.
It's contest traditon! Grrr SBAllen --- Feeling tired? Allow me to prescribe you a peppermint latte |
What I'm learning in this topic is that Crono SFFs literally everyone. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
MegatokyoEd posted... I would call what Zidane did to Ridley pretty much a blow out. I would be surprised if Zidane could do that to one of those guys. I wouldn't be surprised if he won a close one against them. It translates to a 55/45 win 1-on-1, which is a blowout by the Ulti definition of the term. Ridley's weaker than all those guys though, in all likelihood. --- http://i52.tinypic.com/2zfiu09.gif http://i54.tinypic.com/10729w2.gif |
Dr_Coffee posted... Aybody else disappointed CT gets no interesting matches this year? What? Two of the most important matches in the entire bracket involve CT! --- http://gifsoup.com/view4/2077316/thane-dance-o.gif http://gifsoup.com/view1/1334641/pop-that-collar-o.gif |
Magus/Otacon, and then Crono has about 15 chances to blow it. CT is in for some interesting times. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
kinsho3 posted... LeonhartFour posted... You're right, Subby is expected to post about 52.5% in that match. But the argument here is explicitly that Falcon overperformed significantly on Cloud - and that Samus didn't (well, she did ever so slightly because it was a 12 hour match, but it's accounted for and not nearly as important as Falcon/Ridley posting inflated numbers). --- sig |
And Frog/Lugia could be an interesting match for those of us with Expert brackets. --- http://i.imgur.com/fe05x.png http://i.imgur.com/stNJf.png |
KamikazePotato posted... That result you posted is basically what a midcarder gets on Solid Snake. That literally makes NO sense. Getting 30% against Cloud = low midcarder Getting 28% against Snake = midcarder --- Drop it to the floor... |
LeonhartFour posted... Dr_Coffee posted...Aybody else disappointed CT gets no interesting matches this year? Wel, Frog got wasted in stupid fashion. And if Magus blows Otocon out tomorrow, he is wasted too --- Feeling tired? Allow me to prescribe you a peppermint latte |
To
put it another way, I consider 30% on (a non-Sprite) Snake far more
impressive than 30% on today's Cloud. You could probably put 'Karma
Hunter' and a picture of a cardboard box on the front page and have it
garner 30% against Cloud. --- sig |
Cloud
does better against Falcon in a 24 hour match, and Proto does better
against Snake in a 24 hours match. Factor in Proto maybe being a little
stronger, Falcon maybe overperforming, and... --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
KamikazePotato posted... What I'm learning in this topic is that Crono SFFs literally everyone. also that Crono/Pikachu/(Magus/Otacon) isn't interesting at all |
Keep
in mind that Snake got 67% on Fox the next round, and I don't think any
of us will deny that Fox is a solid midcarder. Perhaps the very
definition of the term. Both matches with Snake translate to a 58/42 win for Fox. I'd say anyone who can break 40% on Fox probably falls in the "low midcard" range. --- http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/9919/leonhart.png |
I
think it wouldn't hurt to establish different levels of "midcard," or
at least simply acknowledge that midcard is easily the largest tier of
characters we have. The Noble 9 are nine. The near-elites are like...
another dozen? Then we have a ton of characters who'd never challenge someone like Bowser but shouldn't be called fodder either. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif |
I
also think the term fodder needs more clarification as well, because
with as many entrants as we have now, it gets thrown around a little
much. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
ChenKenichiFan posted... The near-elites are like... another dozen? I dunno if there are even that many anymore! Of course, everyone's definition on what qualifies as a near elite will differ, but I'd say it's anyone who could get at least 45% on someone like, say, Sonic. I was about to say Crono, but that might extend beyond a dozen at this point! --- http://i.imgur.com/eqOQs.gif |
I
know it goes against The Boss fodder line, who is probably a better
gauge SFF-speaking, but for a pure litmus test nothing works better for
fodder for me than Pac-Man. If you beat Pac-Man, you're low (maybe
*real* low) midcard. If you're below him, you're fodder. --- sig |
