voltch posted... Now the real question is, have you ever bought a game because of a character's contest runs? Don't think so, but I did buy Ace Attorney only coz of B8. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
I got Starcraft after the Spring 2004 run. >_> --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
From: ExThaNemesis | Posted: 8/1/2013 12:27:21 PM | #245 Also if you don't love Frog just a little bit extra because of his contest exploits, you don't have a soul. i waited until the last 10 seconds to vote for MC in that match. i didn't really care about the result, just wanted it to be as close as possible. --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
I'm going to guess series like Tales have a dedicated fanbase that will vote for them no matter what, explains the absolute % or Tales boost, somehow |
voltch posted... Now the real question is, have you ever bought a game because of a character's contest runs? Does using the money won in a contest to buy games count? --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2013/07/wyatt07062013.gif |
Magus: THE BLACK WIND HOWLS AGAIN IF MY FATE IS TO DIE, I MUST SIMPLY LAUGH Otacon: E.E.!!! aaaaaaaaahuhuhuhuh!!!! --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/gdl8lcn.jpg |
ExThaNemesis posted... Also if you don't love Frog just a little bit extra because of his contest exploits I already disliked Frog in CT, the fact that he has to cheat to win matches against scrubs (matches that I pick him to win!) doesn't exactly endear me to him. Also, Snake/Frog 2k4, but would I hold a grudge against something that long hahaha --- sig |
Although Magus choking fits in with his CT personality as well. He failed at basically everything he set out to do in that game! --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Now the real question is, have you ever bought a game because of a character's contest runs? Yup, Chrono Trigger is the biggest one, but I have done it a few times. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 40/46 Today's Picks: Pikachu and Magus |

Lloyd 2013: 30.86% on Pikachu Lloyd 2010: 32.75% on Fox Fox assuming consistent Lloyd: 47.11% on Pikachu Fox 2008: 45.55% on Yoshi --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
ChenKenichiFan posted... Karma Hunter posted...ChenKenichiFan posted...If it was near the end of a contest, I wouldn't be too surprised if Pikachu managed just that. Why can't people acknowledge that weird crap happens now - usually to Pokemon's benefit and Square's detriment, and that certain characters can get hugely bandwagoned and gain in strength as contests roll on (again, Pokemon). Charizard, definitely. Pikachu is sadly just not on that level. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
Jakyl25 posted... voltch posted...Now the real question is, have you ever bought a game because of a character's contest runs? Only if you bought a game from the character who helped you get the points needed to win the contest. --- Dr voltchball - best in the world. |
AxemRedRanger posted... Lloyd 2013: 30.86% on Pikachu So Pika's worth about 48.34% on Yoshi 2008, putting him at about 40.74% on Squall 2008. Setting Crono = Squall, that would make next round's match... very interesting, but still siding with the rat. --- sig |
I
mostly got into Metal Gear due to seeing people's love for Snake in
these things back in 03/04, even when he wasn't doing well. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

You DON'T? --- XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism. |
Pikachu beating Cloud and Sephiroth would be gross. --- *2, *8,070,446 Kuroko no Basket *3, *6,495,240 Naruto |
The only character that deserves to be LFF'd to death is Link. Cloud and Seph don't deserve that fate. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
How
likely is it around 80-90 of the -2/-3 brackets got the current match
wrong? Just realized I'm one of the ties at -3 and would like to get on
the leaderboard at least once this contest. No way I survive this
division, so this will probably be my only shot at it. Unless Gilgamesh
somehow gets up (I doubt it now). --- ~ Ringworm ~ |
I forgot how awful all of you are. I only sided against Cloud because of MGS5 momentum this year, you deplorable haters. God. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
Hell there's lots of games/series I tried out due to characters just BEING IN A CONTEST (not even necessarily doing well) Tales of Symphonia Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes Castlevania: Symphony Ninja Gaiden (360) Chrono Trigger Shadow Hearts God of War Final Fantasy 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 Starcraft Xenosaga Disgaea Half-Life 2 etc. --- Want any VNs pre-patched?

All hail blonde blue eyed country boys. --- Dr voltchball - best in the world. |

ExThaNemesis posted... I forgot how awful all of you are. Not the fact that Sora's gonna be strangling him the whole time or anything --- sig |
Don't
think I have ever bought anything because of a contest. Pikachu beating
Cloud & Sephiroth would be great and I don't even dislike either
now. It would just be great to see all of the reactions. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
Cmon Lightning in KHIII to reach Auron/Vincent/Squall tier. I want Noctis to become awesome already. --- Dr voltchball - best in the world. |
I'd be stunned if Lightning somehow didn't end up in KHIII. Square loves her too much to not put her into the game. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
At the rate Square is going, Lightning will be the main character of KH3. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Also,
I consider the Fox/Wolf/Blue match to be a bit of a trial run on if
Crono can survive Pikachu and Magus next round, so I think it deserves a
bit more attention. I also have Fox winning that while I have Pikachu winning his match so that kinda contradicts what I just said, but let's roll with it anyway! --- sig |
KamikazePotato posted... Early freeze reminds me: Is this because of those people who use a script to get the first vote? That's who I'm going to blame. --- Watch me play games! http://www.twitch.tv/lordofdabu |
Hmm.
Magus and Otacon not doing too well compared to Jade, but if even Jade
Curtiss can manage to look half decent, maybe this is the contest for
JRPG characters (other than Xenoblade, which no one on this site has
actually played, and FF7). This match also makes Pikachu look a little more impressive against Lloyd, and of course pairs Magus with Crono, so it's a good match for the rat. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
I wonder if Magus doing good here means he will do good in the next round too...thus dragging Crono down more |
LordOfDabu posted... KamikazePotato posted...Early freeze reminds me: Presumably he means how you can have poll result pages for the future matches right now. Change the poll number or go to the result page and hit next battle and it's all set-up. You used to get an error message if you tried that before, right? --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |

Also,

Crono can survive Pikachu and Magus next round, so I think it deserves a
bit more attention. While it may give us some information it may not be very telling, Magus will hold up better than Wolf and there's the possibility that Fox will SFF Blue --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 40/46 Today's Picks: Pikachu and Magus |
I'm sorry I think I must have had a minor aneurysm I thought I just saw someone suggest Magus was doing well in this match --- sig |
Karma Hunter posted... Also, I consider the Fox/Wolf/Blue match to be a bit of a trial run on if Crono can survive Pikachu and Magus next round, so I think it deserves a bit more attention. I also have contradictory results in both matches. Crono and Blue. Let's see if either of our contradictions pan out or if we're both stupidly wrong. I think my bracket could take the Blue hit much better as I have Crono going to the last 9... which is probably silly anyway. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
http://img.gamefaqs.net/images/cbnine/battle/5196.jpg Blue stands out so much there. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
charmander6000 posted... Also, I consider the Fox/Wolf/Blue match to be a bit of a trial run on if Crono can survive Pikachu and Magus next round, so I think it deserves a bit more attention. Woah woah what? People think Magus is gonna hold up better than Wolf? That seems wacky to me. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
ExThaNemesis posted... Karma Hunter posted...Also, I consider the Fox/Wolf/Blue match to be a bit of a trial run on if Crono can survive Pikachu and Magus next round, so I think it deserves a bit more attention. Same here, Blue > Fox is worth little to me (3 points, as I have Fox next round as well). But if Pikachu can't pull it off, instead of Pikachu v Sora v Fox/Blue I'm looking at Crono v Sora v Fox/Blue and my Sora pick is screwwwwwwwwed --- sig |
What if we have it all wrong. Blue takes advantage of Sora/Crono LFF somehow and makes it to the final 9. |
FranzyvonKarma posted... What if we have it all wrong. I am oddly okay with this. SMELL YA LATER, etc. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
Why are people so surprise about Jade being male Just look at FE7 Lucius |
FranzyvonKarma posted... What if we have it all wrong. Wouldn't completely rule it out, but that's a scenario where Crono presumably has just slapped Pikachu down while shouldering Magus in the middle of the day. Don't see it happening. --- sig |
Woah woah what? People think Magus is gonna hold up better than Wolf? That seems wacky to me. Wolf is going to crushed by Fox. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 40/46 Today's Picks: Pikachu and Magus |
lol Chrono Trigger fans are shooting themselves in the foot by voting for Magus --- 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. |
charmander6000 posted... Woah woah what? I doubt it. At least not on the level that Crono is going to massacre Magus. Wolf was loved in Brawl and has a lot of fun catch phrases that I can see him really hurting Fox, and Fox is not that strong to begin with really. Him SFFing Blue just seems silly to me too, especially after the rivalry thing. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
