I have Neku in my bracket, but am definitely voting for Catherine. It'd be great to see her win since Yu and Chie lost. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
Pretty
sure Fox would win 1v1 here. Almost all of Wolf's voters would go to
Fox. Doubt many people would have Wolf > Blue > Fox. --- Obviously... ~~{{ctesjbuvf}}~~ |
I have a serious fear of Seifer finishing dead last in that match, but I'm not sure if it's well founded or just paranoia. --- http://i.imgur.com/fe05x.png http://i.imgur.com/stNJf.png |
Blue would win with around 51%.No way all of Wolf's votes go to Fox. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
Catherine would have to be as strong as Laharl, and I don't feel ready to say that she is Especially seeing as Neku probably boosted a bit since he lost to Laharl no faith in Vaas, though --- ~Zen |
Was Celes in Dissidia? Locke kind of sucked it up against Ness. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
I don't think Celes was in dissidia --- ~Zen |
Knuckles was winning that even before Celes got put in there to make it boring. the only question about the match is whether she gets distant-thirded or holds up to the other two at her (low) actual strength. --- Leafs / Raptors / Blue Jays / TFC / Argos / Tottenham We'll get 'em next year. |
Nope, Celes wasn't in Dissidia. We already know Celes is terrible. That's what makes me terrified of Seifer doing worse...! --- http://i.imgur.com/kCpvD.gif |
I
find it rather amusing that Sailor Bacon set up this match this way. It
makes me chuckle. A classic example of LFF to look back on. |
LeonhartFour posted... I have a serious fear of Seifer finishing dead last in that match, but I'm not sure if it's well founded or just paranoia. I dunno, dude - Celes is a FF6 character, and if there's one constant about FF6 characters, it's that they generally don't do well. I'd take Seifer over Celes 1v1, for what it's worth... --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
Celes
is probably slightly stronger than Locke, who we already saw was a
disappointment. Dissidia puts Kefka and Terra far out of her reach. --- Leafs / Raptors / Blue Jays / TFC / Argos / Tottenham We'll get 'em next year. |
Safer_777 posted... Blue would win with around 51%.No way all of Wolf's votes go to Fox. At least 75% would, I'm sure. |
LeonhartFour posted... ecksgem posted...Any adjustment might make Ocelot seem a tad high, but Red also beats him pretty comfortably in a 24-hour match. I certainly can't explain Price! X is kind of an enigma. --- "Pardon me for breathing, which I never do any way so I don't know why I bother to say it, oh God, I'm so depressed." |
Yeah
I wish I hadn't taken Ryu > X especially in light of the SSB
announcement... but there's a good argument to be made that MM > X by
a decent amount. It wasn't the craziest pick in the world. I mean, I have Mewtwo > Vincent! --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
I'm
not sure where we got the idea that Mega Man and X had to be tied at
the hip anyway. Well, I guess I can see why people would think that, but
it's never really worked out that way with anything. --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
And
guys, this probably ends up at something like 52/48 in Blue's favor or
closer by the rate Fox is going at. Bumping him up only to 51/49 is kind
of hard! That match probably goes 50/50. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |

ZeldaTPLink posted...Where can I see the pics for the next matches? Thanks. Some things I noticed: - Red has a regular 2D pic, like Blue. We may have a chance to see if the Smash pic was really being bad to him like some people have been saying. - Catherine doesn't look that bad IMO. She is still pretty sexy. - Jill Valentine doesn't look good. She looks like an anime character. I can see her being defeated by Red Bird, who has an awesome pic. - Falco has a really weird pose. |
You guys think Marisa could beat Adam Jensen and Recette could beat Travis? --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Seifer will not lose to Celes --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
Jill's not losing to Red Bird. And Falco is doing the sexy catgirl pose since Lightning refuses to do it. --- http://img.imgcake.com/nio/26leonpngat.png http://img.imgcake.com/nio/daigohadoupnguj.png |
If Jill lost to Red Bird, I might kill myself. It has a next to nothing chance of of happening. --- http://i.imgur.com/32RNLnc.gif |
Just
reminding everyone (especially Turtle) that they were assuming that
Wolf would be another Zero when it came to withstanding SFF. Obviously
there must have been some other people who thought otherwise
because the spread had Wolf fairly low, but nobody else thought that
Wolf would be super-weak. Seriously people. While actual character strengths were completely out of whack in Rivalry Rumble--I mean, Meat Boy/Dr. Fetus managed to hang 35% on Zidane/Kuja, and look how poorly Meat Boy did. There's only so much of that that you can attribute to Zidane/Kuja's awful pick/Mr. Game & Watch taking away some of Meat Boy's "looking ridiculous in the match pic to draw joke votes" factor--the one clear pattern we decided on was that having a "real rivalry" gave you an advantage over a pairing that was "not a real rivalry". Based on expectations for a 1v1 between Fox and the opposite "protagonist", Fox/Wolf massively underperformed against Ryu/Ken ("real rivalry") and did only a little better than expected against Yuna/Seymour ("not a real rivalry"). Now, this still doesn't prove that Wolf would be absolute fodder normally. But clearly Fox/Wolf wasn't perceived as a real rivalry. I suspect that the lack of decent Star Fox games in recent years (not counting the 3DS rerelease, we've only seen three games since SF64 came out 16 years ago, and IIRC only one of them was well-received) means that the Star Fox crew is drawing a lot more of their strength from Smash than they are from their own games. Now, that works fine for Fox, who's been in all three games--Captain Falcon's still a low midcarder, and he probably gets an even greater portion of his strength from the Smash series than Fox does--but for Wolf, who's only been in Brawl and is essentially a "Fox clone", it's awful. (Also, Mega Man/Zero is a special case, because Zero's from the Mega Man X series, not Classic Mega Man. As awful as SFF matches generally are, the one match I still want to see is Mega Man/Mega Man X, because I really think that X can win that one and it would probably rate as a "shocking upset". I know that nobody takes "series polls" seriously as an indicator of contest results, but the Mega Man X series beating the Classic Mega Man series in the "What is your favorite Mega Man series" poll would explain those Mega Man/Zero results, which compared to most other results involving SFF matches and a Noble Niner are especially anomalous. I mean, forget about the fourway for a moment. The only times a Noble Niner has allowed a greater percentage in an SFF win (because of course, plenty of Noble Niners have allowed over 50% in SFF matches against Link) are the two Cloud-Sephiroth matches, the first Samus-Zelda match, and Mario-Charizard. Sephiroth is of course himself a Noble Niner, Zelda has the LoZ > Metroid series SFF working for her so that may be an rSFF scenario as well, and Charizard had all sorts of factors working in his favor. I mean, I guess you could count Vincent's 1v1 loss to Crono? But again, if you're using the Square connection to call that an SFF match, you've got FFVII > everything else series SFF making it a plausible rSFF scenario.) --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
LinkMarioSamus posted... You guys think Marisa could beat Adam Jensen? Maybe. Reimu went better than most people thought. And Adam has the Generic McDude factor against him. |
I don't remember anyone saying they thought Wolf would hold up well to SFF let alone Zero level. Edit: Nevermind, I see where BlAcK TuRtLe said that. --- Pokemon VGC2013 BC Regional - 16th place Pokemon VGC2013 US National - 39th place |
LinkMarioSamus posted... You guys think Marisa could beat Adam Jensen and Recette could beat Travis? Perhaps on Marisa > Adam. Highly doubtful on Recette > Travis. --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
ecksgem posted... LeonhartFour posted...ecksgem posted...Any adjustment might make Ocelot seem a tad high, but Red also beats him pretty comfortably in a 24-hour match. Bracket voting casuals? It was a 4-13 match. You're right, that's a very good piece of evidence to contradict my theory. But still...Link-X 2010 was ever so slightly closer in percentage than Link-Mega 2004, and prorated out to 24 hours Link-X would have more votes. I guess maybe you could say that Link wasn't getting anti-voted as hard in 2004 because he had only won 1 championship? It's still a kind of tough sell, especially since Capcom's mismanagement of the Mega Man franchise would suggest that all Mega Man characters would've been far weaker in 2010 than in 2004. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
What's
sad is that Samus vs. Zelda 2006 was cited as an example of a rSFF
match due to Zelda breaking 45% on a possible acount of her series
benefiting, but then in the 2010 rematch Samus did a whopping 9% better,
and I honestly felt that it would make sense that Samus would SFF Zelda
since they both draw heavily from Smash Bros. Take note that in the
previous contest, there was a match where Samus SFFd Ganondorf down to
Gordon Freeman's level, so Samus probably SFFd Zelda/Ganondorf within
the SSB fanbases in 2008/2010, while Zelda resisted the SFF so well in
2006 due to Twilight Princess nearing release. Meanwhile, in 2008 - the same year Ganondorf got SFFd by Samus, Zelda avoided SFF from freaking Mario. Thus leading me to create a possibly out-there theory: Samus can SFF Zelda because they both draw much of their strength from Smash Bros., while Mario can't SFF Zelda because voters would actually see the poll as "Mario vs. Zelda", as if the characters were representing their franchises!

TsunamiXXVIII posted... ecksgem posted...LeonhartFour posted...ecksgem posted...Any adjustment might make Ocelot seem a tad high, but Red also beats him pretty comfortably in a 24-hour match. 2010 was before Capcom's mismanagement of Mega Man, no? Didn't Mega Man 10 come out that year, and Mega Man 9 just two years prior? --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
TsunamiXXVIII posted... Bracket voting casuals? It was a 4-13 match. X had 75% of the brackets despite being the 13 seed. 2004 Link > 2010 Link is also a factor. He almost certainly overperformed on Mega Man in 2004. On MMX, it's possible, especially if you want to believe in MMX >= MM, but I feel pretty confident in saying that was a legit performance on X's part. Could be wrong, but yeah. And if you need any evidence that 2004 Link and 2010 Link aren't the same beasts, compare these polls: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3842 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/1766 --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
Fayt_Esteed posted... LinkMarioSamus posted...You guys think Marisa could beat Adam Jensen and Recette could beat Travis? ...maybe Kratos could SFF Travis? They both have similar appeal methinks. EDIT: Okay, forget the latter. Recette isn't nearly as appealing design-wise as any of the Touhou chicks. I will now admit that I was briefly considering taking Adam Jensen over Vivi before wisely backing out of such stupidity, so it seems weird to think he could possibly lose to someone whose games have never been officially localized for Western countries! Also Adam may not suffer from Generic McDude syndrome as much since he probably looks cooler to the average voter than your usual Generic McDude and he's pretty much the face of his game (although his game's admittedly not a very high-profile one at all. On this very site it lost to Modern Warfare 3 in the GOTY polls, while on unikgamer it's not even top 5 of its own year in the site's overall rankings - it's below Portal 2, Skyrim, Arkham City, Dark Souls, and Skyward Sword.). Random Question: How many games from 2011 would you take to beat Deus Ex: Human Revolution in a contest setting? Random Question #2: Adam Jensen vs. Groose who've you got? I'd probably pick Adam. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
From: TsunamiXXVIII | Posted: 8/4/2013 4:27:55 PM | #323 but nobody else thought that Wolf would be super-weak. i did. maybe not quite this weak but i thought Blue would be weaker as well. --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
Lets' go Blue!! Pokemon Trainer Blue: One-time Pokemon Champion, zero title defenses Sucks that Pac-Man couldn't beat Drake. If it weren't for that I'd have a perfect Division 6 :( --- The Great GameFAQs Character Battle IX contest: 47/53 pts NP: Pokemon Trainer Blue > Fox McCloud > Wolf O'Donnell |
It
would be hilarious if Cloud Outfit Lightning was able to explode all
the way to the final 9 or higher just because of the outfit + Buster
Sword + TJF. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
LinkMarioSamus posted... Fayt_Esteed posted...LinkMarioSamus posted...You guys think Marisa could beat Adam Jensen and Recette could beat Travis? I'm... not sure. I could be overestimating Travis and/or underestimating Recette, but I'm personally not expecting Recette to be worth more than about 15%. --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance!

Oh right, trend chart from the night match: Time | Drake | Steve | Pac-Man | Votes 0:05 | 44.39% | 14.62% | 40.99% | 383 1:00 | 40.69% | 18.56% | 40.75% | 4623 2:00 | 42.42% | 20.51% | 37.08% | 2848 3:00 | 41.44% | 19.80% | 38.76% | 2020 4:00 | 41.76% | 20.18% | 38.06% | 1650 5:00 | 41.51% | 20.06% | 38.43% | 1366 6:00 | 42.74% | 18.07% | 39.19% | 1184 7:00 | 42.17% | 20.10% | 37.72% | 1169 8:00 | 42.17% | 16.67% | 41.17% | 1302 9:00 | 42.18% | 19.14% | 38.68% | 1541 10:00 | 43.81% | 18.82% | 37.36% | 1753 11:00 | 40.95% | 20.42% | 38.62% | 1885 12:00 | 41.78% | 20.30% | 37.92% | 1788 Steve is all over the place.

Fayt_Esteed posted... LinkMarioSamus posted...Fayt_Esteed posted...LinkMarioSamus posted...You guys think Marisa could beat Adam Jensen and Recette could beat Travis? Yeah I answered my own question. I still expect that the contrast between Recette and her opponents, plus the fact that Travis is super-weak anyway, could allow her to break 20%, but I dunno. Would this site really find it hilarious to vote for a little girl over Kratos and a guy WAVING A FREAKING BEAM KATANA IN YOUR FACE??? --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Recette
will get her requisite 15% for being a cute anime girl and come in
last. I doubt Kratos dominates the poll enough to keep Travis under 20. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
LeonhartFour posted... Drake's prediction percentage was 57.34% Yikes, I was expecting WAY better. I guess this site doesn't really care about Uncharted after all. Which provides evidence for Fallout 3's quarter of the bracket being overrated in the GOTD stats. So uh... Shadow of the Colossus vs. Metroid Prime who've you got? I choose Metroid Prime out of favoritism. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |

MegatokyoEd posted... Recette will get her requisite 15% for being a cute anime girl and come in last. I doubt Kratos dominates the poll enough to keep Travis under 20. Yeah I'll just hope that happens. Recette...hold on let me look at that match pic again. Recette stands out even more than I thought, though at the same time it's not like her opponents are Generic McDudes or anything. So yeah, I'll just hope that what you're saying is what turns out to be true. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
If Pac Man and Drake had switched seeds,Drake would get around 40%,maybe less.So that prediction is nice. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
Not
like it matters too much, but with the current vote distribution, Fox
would win if he received 79.6% of Wolf's votes. This number has been
consistently lowering through the afternoon. --- I pwn you all! |
I
would like to announce that with SSB-reliant characters consistently
dropping the ball (even Mr. Game & Watch allowing a Generic McDude
from an extremely recent game to come so close to him counts), I am no
longer backing Pit > Cecil. All hail Cecil. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
MegatokyoEd posted... Vaas is going to get annihilated seeing how new western characters have done so far. The problem is that the other new western characters were all up against noteworthy characters. This is Neku and Catherine we're talking about, one from an 8 year old DS RPG that sold 50k copies, and the other from a Japanese dating sim porno that only Board 8 has played. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
Black Turtle underestimating niche games he knows nothing about Alert the presses --- http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo22vfguji1qzxr43.gif |
What the, 50K. Why are you spouting that nonsense? We already went over this, Catherine sold way more. --- http://i.imgur.com/32RNLnc.gif |
