red sox 777 posted... Uh, if Crono could match Sephiroth's numbers against anyone, I'd be super super happy. There's too much of a strength gap there for Crono to beat Sephiroth's numbers against anyone. Remember that time Crono got within 3% of Missingno's percentage on Sephiroth? Bad times, man, bad times. |
Also,
Crono's not going to lose percentage today because of the day vote
because it is already the height of the summer day vote (no ASV!). He
might lose more percentage, but only because of rallying. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
KanzarisKelshen posted... That I do. Big Daddy>Lloyd by less than 60% seems like a fairly legit thing to me. What do you expect Lloyd to get on Tifa? |
Would you give Lloyd a shot at beating Ness? --- 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 |
Remember that time Crono got within 3% of Missingno's percentage on Sephiroth? Exactly, even with Missingno, a character tailor-made to embarrass Sephiroth, Crono was still a fair ways away from matching Sephiroth's performance. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Was it Lloyd who almost lost to Sam Fisher? |
And Kerrigan cut Missile by 20. What is this match?! |
FranzyvonKarma posted... Was it Lloyd who almost lost to Sam Fisher? That was Gordon Freeman. Unless you're talking 4-ways, then that was Raiden. --- http://gifsoup.com/view/874243/big-boss-o.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... Fox doubled Lloyd back in 2010. I guess it depends on how you think Pikachu/Fox goes. ...OK yeah, fair point. I'd take either of those two guys to put a comfortable 40% on this poll, minimum (and probably push closer to 50% than 30%). But I give the 'percentage ceiling' more credit than most of the stat topic, I think. I knew 70% was a good performance for Link the second I saw it, for example, because it just seemed intuitively wrong for him to pull down more than that. I feel like every point past, like 45-50% is exponentially harder to earn than the last one, so a 5% difference against stronger competition might be deceptive and not indicative of the strength of two contestants being as similar as it might seem. I know this is probably a theory not many people buy into though, and if Pikachu really pushes hard for the high 50s we can start tolling the doom bells for Crono right away. |
Not_Wylvane posted... How much would Magikarp be getting on Crono right now? ...I'm getting 89.68% ...which makes me think I've forgotten how to calculate X-Stats from the bottom-up more than anything else. >_> --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
This
isn't really a bad performance, even if you assume Kerrigan is as weak
as ever, and I've been calling for Crono's head. This rallied Missile's
worth a cool 61% on Kerrigan so far, which pegs him at about CATS level.
Kerrigan should be stronger, too. --- sig |
Hmm...I'm thinking without rallying Missile is a lot weaker than Kerrigan, which probably means even more good things for Crono. |
LeonhartFour posted... Would you give Lloyd a shot at beating Ness? Mmmmmmmaybe? I'd probably take Ness, but it'd be close. I wouldn't expect Lloyd to get embarrassed by him or anything unless you count losing to Ness as an embarrassment. It'd be, like, a 3-4% loss at most. |
Yeah.
Now that we're finally starting to accept that Pikachu's got a decent
shot at beating Crono even in a fair fight, you just know that Magus
will somehow find a way to make it to round 2 and take away the "fair
fight" aspect. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
Yeah,
just taking the Crono/Kerrigan performance at face value should be
enough to get past Pikachu. Just depends on if Magus being there matters
or not (if he's there. If he's not, Crono wins). --- http://i.imgur.com/M7vKB.gif |
TsunamiXXVIII posted... Now that we're finally starting to accept that Pikachu's got a decent shot at beating Crono even in a fair fight spoilers nobody actually believes that --- 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 |
TsunamiXXVIII posted... Yeah. Now that we're finally starting to accept that Pikachu's got a decent shot at beating Crono even in a fair fight, you just know that Magus will somehow find a way to make it to round 2 and take away the "fair fight" aspect. He doesn't. At all. To even consider otherwise is preposterous. --- sig |
This is the year where Magus beats Crono. Prepare yourself. |
Just to clarify, all I said was that if Pikachu could get 55%+ tomorrow, I'd be worried about him beating Crono. I don't actually expect that. Not even close. --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |
FranzyvonKarma posted... This is the year where Magus beats Crono. Remember when Link/Magus was the real final? Yeah, Magus gonna finally live up to 2003 expectations... |
Assuming
Crono gets 55% on Pikachu normally (what Snake got in the sprite
round), Magus needs to leech enough to make up a 55/45 gap. By past
matches, Sephiroth leeches enough off of Cloud to turn a 56/44 match
into a 50/50 match. Crono is likely to beat down Magus much worse than
Cloud can beat down Sephiroth, however. Closer than my initial thoughts on seeing the bracket. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
I do. Not by much, but yeah, Pikachu should be able to pull 55%. Of course, I haven't exactly been the best at prognosticating thus far. I had Crono's percentage much higher than this for this match! --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
TheOneAboveAll posted... FranzyvonKarma posted...This is the year where Magus beats Crono. Link/Magus/Mario finals. Magus's True Strength only shows up in years that end in 3. |
Oh, I have a feeling his true strength will show up tomorrow, all right...! --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonpngpe.png http://img.imgcake.com/squalloweenpngem.png |
I think someone saw that Kerrigan cut and restarted the rally. |
TheOneAboveAll posted... FranzyvonKarma posted...This is the year where Magus beats Crono. Hahaha. Well, it's not like there isn't a precedent for the obvious last-place finisher winning the match. Remember how the big question before the match was whether or not Kefka would leech Zack enough for Ryu to pull the upset? Pretty sure most of us figured there was no way Kefka was finishing anywhere but third with Zack in the poll. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
Safer_777 posted... What EXACTLY is Missile?I didn't know anything and thought it would be an object like Cube or L-Block.But I find it is a dog that talks? I wouldn't have known who Missile is if it wasn't for him doing well in NCAA Characters. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
LeonhartFour posted... Oh, I have a feeling his true strength will show up tomorrow, all right...! Magus with the 90% domination...of whatever Jade gets. |
It was another blip. Missile only gained 10 that time. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
LeonhartFour posted... FranzyvonKarma posted...Was it Lloyd who almost lost to Sam Fisher? Gordon Freeman didn't almost lose to Sam Fisher, he actually lost. Oh GFNW sure was fun. --- Ngamer64: Zylo, you're making less sense every day. SuperNiceDog > Me |
Votals about 1.5k-2k higher than normal at this time, it's quite a significant rally. --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |
--Smurf-- posted... There isn't a significant Korean or Chinese voting population on Gamefaqs, I'm not sure what people are expecting out of this. You're absolutely correct about this. I actually looked at some past polls and calculated that South Korea gets even less votes than Japan on a daily basis. In this year's age poll, I calculated that Japan got 146 votes, while South Korea got 53 votes and China got 54 votes. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Changing
the topic (sort of), what does this mean for StarCraft itself in a
games contest setting? Heck, what do you think would be the strongest
game from the GOTD field that StarCraft would beat? I'd say it's GTA: San Andreas. I'd take Halo over StarCraft in a rematch (heck, Halo was probably stronger even in 2004). --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Golden Sun > Starcraft > San Andreas sounds right --- If you believe in the Lord FE7 and you accept FE7 as the Savior of video games and are 100% proud of it, put this in your sig. |
-LusterSoldier- posted... --Smurf-- posted...There isn't a significant Korean or Chinese voting population on Gamefaqs, I'm not sure what people are expecting out of this. Did you get any data on Ireland out of interest? --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |
Starcraft
is more of a game that doesn't give its strength to its characters,
kind of like Tales in a way. Starcraft would probably still do very well
in a game contest. --- Character Battle IX: 39/45 points, Next matches: Crono, Pikachu http://backloggery.com/articuno2001/sig.gif |
How
do you even predict stuff like Missile's performance though? I mean I
assume something as simple as Missile's devastatingly cute contest
picture probably factors into it. --- @w@ Gamertag: SliceSabre |
Why would Koreans even care about Kerrigan? Most of them probably don't even touch the SP. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
Articuno2001 posted... Starcraft is more of a game that doesn't give its strength to its characters, kind of like Tales in a way. Starcraft would probably still do very well in a game contest. Yes, it did REAL well in its last games contest, I know. The five games I most want to see StarCraft face off against in a games contest: Halo, Diablo II, Wind Waker, Golden Sun, Symphony of the Night. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
StarCraft chumped out to FF8 in the last games contest, and didn't really even put up a fight. It's not particularly strong now. --- sig |
Precisely what I was arguing. Although getting thrashed around by Final Fantasy VIII...there could be worse contest fates. That sounded so wrong. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
--Smurf-- posted... -LusterSoldier- posted...--Smurf-- posted...There isn't a significant Korean or Chinese voting population on Gamefaqs, I'm not sure what people are expecting out of this. My back of the envelope calculations give me 171, after trying to guess off the percentages. --- 'We will see a similar beam of particles coming out of the soil on the other side of the planet. Then we will know there is a little quasar inside the planet. |
--Smurf-- posted... Did you get any data on Ireland out of interest? 171 votes from Ireland in that poll. And for reference, New Zealand had 242 votes. Since Ireland and New Zealand have a similar population total, I found it interesting that New Zealand got about 41% more votes than Ireland in that poll. I used the age poll from this year because of the ridiculous vote totals. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

Thanks. It's never really been a popular site here for some reason. *shrug* --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |
Europeans tend to stick with European websites so it is not that surprising. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 38/44 Today's Picks: Gordon Freeman and Crono |
Actually
glad to see that things are starting to look boring. Crono's well on
his way back to breaking 60% and Missile/Kerrigan hasn't moved more than
11 votes in an update for the past half hour. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
This probably means that Sarah Kerrigan is more or less naturally on par with unrallied Missile --- sig |
