Karma Hunter posted... Also this argument is almost completely pointless for Samus - even assuming some kind of Other M backlash, I don't have faith enough in its playrate as a Wii Metroid game for that to be worth much. Even if she got severely hurt, who the hell is she going to lose to before getting smashed by Mario? Even against Auron/Tifa, she's got insurance because they're gonna be in the same match! DAMMIT Bacon like tifa is making it past dragonborn --- Fast Falcon ate my bracket for dinner in the guru contest. |
I
understand. But it still doesn't feel at all right to me that a
character who is nothing more than a faceless recurring boss breaking
45% on the main character of a PS1 Final Fantasy is considered
disappointing. Even then, I don't think anyone thought Ridley disappointed against Zidane, right? Just me starting to find evidence that Samus won't fall prey to the "disappointing game deboost" that Ryu Hayabusa and Big Daddy were hit by. Also to be fair, Samus and Ridley are arguably more established than those guys - they have a long-running series behind them, while Hayabusa pretty much just has some relatively low-key Xbox/360 games, remakes of those for PS3, and even lower-key games on the NES, and Big Daddy had only one game before his "disappointing" game. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |

DAMMIT Bacon If Tifa can't beat Dragonborn then Samus has nothing to fear from Auron regardless because FF just fell off a cliff in that case --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
If Blue = Mewtwo Ignoring SFF, how many Chesters is Wolf worth? |

Ridley
and Samus have never been particularly tied at the hip, anyway.
Ridley's been embarrassing himself in some of Samus's best years. If you
want to find an argument for Samus increasing or decreasing, we can
wait and actually see the match with HER in it. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |

DAMMIT Bacon Yeah, I think the only time Samus's placement is really debatable is in the Mario match, where she could theoretically get either second or third. |

There's
no way Dragonborn will be THAT strong. You can make him 9 different
races and/or a woman, and there's probably a lot of people who would
only vote for THEIR Dragonborn. It's like Shepard on a whole 'nother
level. --- ~Zen |

DAMMIT Bacon I'd honestly still like to see her flop even though she's my favorite character. Would be a nice change of pace from the contest norm. I agree, however, that Other M's playrate is likely small enough to not affect Samus. On the other hand, Samus not having anything all that big since 2007 could hurt her, as could the possibility that she was riding Other M hype last contest (there can't be a coincidence that everything Metroid-related exceeded expectations in contests that occurred in the same year as a new release for the series). --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
I
think Samus getting third in the Mario match is more or less a lock.
She's the most easily SFFed character by the Big M, and Mario will
probably give her a pounding worse than in 2005 to ensure he doesn't
drop the match to Charizard/Mega Man. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
i had no idea that leon was actually tiger woods this is oddly fitting --- ~Zen |
Dragonborn is more likely to lose in round 1 than win in round 2. I just wish I had the guts to say TOM NOOK OR PYRAMID HEAD WILL WIN A MATCH But I don't. --- http://gifsoup.com/view/874243/big-boss-o.gif |

It's like Shepard on a whole 'nother level. Zack went from being a midcard beast to jobbing against Kefka. The FF VII haterade will be even stronger against an icon of the series. --- Fast Falcon ate my bracket for dinner in the guru contest. |
spoilers Kefka is a midcarder now too (He'd probably be winning this match, too) --- http://gifsoup.com/view4/2077316/thane-dance-o.gif http://gifsoup.com/view1/1334641/pop-that-collar-o.gif |

It's like Shepard on a whole 'nother level. Honestly, I dunno. While Dragonborn doesn't quite go as far as to appear on his game's cover, I'd say that all of the trailers and advertising for Skyrim practically make him symbolic of his game. Like, I don't play Skyrim, but I can see Dragonborn's pic and immediately think of the game in question. But I'm just throwing out an idea. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
I am going to enjoy Kefka lose next match to, like, Lara Croft my bracket won't but that's beside the point --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
I almost wish I had taken Tom Nook for CRAZY UPSET PICK he's got dat animal crossing 3DS hype my bracket is shot anyway --- ~Zen |
Going
back to my original argument, am I the only one who feels that
everything Nintendo that isn't Mario-associated will have dropped in
strength since last character battle due to (relative) Nintendo ignoring
its non-Mario franchises lately? --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |

BioWare's stats chart thingy shows a decent chunk of people play with default Shep, but with Skyrim you never really get "default Dragonborn," and with all the gameplay differences/huge appearance differences of changing your race, plus the fact that you're never obligated/might not even find the mascot Dragonborn's signature helmet means that even less people are attached to him --- ~Zen |
LeonhartFour posted... LinkMarioSamus posted...I don't play Skyrim There's literally no point to this message other than to mock me like this. And there's so much to discuss, why fill these topics with mocking a particular user? --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Nintendo
in general really just hasn't been impressing me. I guess you can say
Falcon exceeded expectations but I thought he would win that match
comfortably! --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |

Yeah, that's the main knock against Dragonborn - being a highly customizable character with no characterization. I still feel that my theory holds weight though. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
10% of the characters in round 2 will be from Pokémon. Possibly 25% for round 3. Insane. --- Be a good little washing machine, now... o_0 |

Why LMS always likes to ignore Pokemon in all his Nintendo talk is something I'd like to know. Oh right. It's not a series that works for Let's Plays. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
don't make me rererepost the list of pokemon we could rally in --- ~Zen |
dude everyone knows what Dragonborn looks like. They know Dragonborn. That trailer, man. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
Also,
I'm with KH in not being particularly impressed with Nintendo thus far.
They've met my expectations a few times, but none of them have really
blown me away yet. Except for Blue here, I guess, but this is a weird match and it barely counts for anything. --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif |
BK_Sheikah00 posted... Why LMS always likes to ignore Pokemon in all his Nintendo talk is something I'd like to know. Uhhh... Pokémon has a massive Let's Play culture for an extra restrictive method of playing the series (Nuzlocke), let alone a straight play through. --- *shrug* |
also my response to Leon's post: http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Tiger-Woods-fistpump-slow-motion.gif --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |

Anyone even remotely interested in Skyrim I mean. I have played zero minutes of Skyrim and I am tremendously hyped for Dragonborn/know what he looks like. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
What's
that supposed to mean? It's not hard to not know a character from a
series you've probably never played. I didn't know any LoL characters
until this contest because I've never played it, seen it played or know
anybody who plays it. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
I'm going to be voting for Dragonborn even though I play as a female Redguard so I guess "what do I know" but we're gonna have to see how hype he is all the other Western characters have fallen flat on their faces. --- ~Zen |
Pokemon impressing or not impressing doesn't really matter that much anyway, not compared to them having by far the most favorable bracket positioning in the contest. They've got an excellent
shot at taking down two Noble Niners (Mega Man & Crono) thanks to
crippling fanbase splits, and a decent one at taking down two more
because of fanbase splitting (Mario & Samus). I can make MGS look decent too if I rig the bracket! --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |

I wasn't even sure what Dragonborn was until I looked it up the other day to do some research for my Oracle. I think reading about Dragonborn lowered my original expectations for him. --- http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif |
RockMFR posted... 10% of the characters in round 2 will be from Pokémon. Possibly 25% for round 3. Insane. You mean, 8 characters in round 2 and 7 in round 3, right? So round 2 would have to be something like this: Charizard > Zelda Pikachu > Crono Missigno > Squall Blue > Nathan Drake/MGW Mewtwo > Vincent Squirtle > Dante Red > Wario/Cecil Cloud > Lugia The scary thing is that I can see all those pokemon wins happening. |

ZenOfThunder posted... I'm going to be voting for Dragonborn even though I play as a female Redguard Same. My Dragonborn looks nothing like the advertised one but I'd still vote him. Would be the same deal with The Warden or Hawke from Dragon Age (and I even played as Fem Hawke) --- Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time |
I think I have IRL friends who, combined, have covered pretty much every game in this contest fanbase-wise except touhou i have never met a single person in real life that knows what a touhou is --- ~Zen |

I didn't know any LoL characters until this contest because I've never played it, seen it played or know anybody who plays it. I hear League of Legends is the best way to win all the ladies. |
I
mean I guess I could be wrong and no one actually cares about/gets
attached to Dragonborn. I just would be blindsided because I care about
him from a friggin trailer. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
