BlAcK TuRtLe posted... MegatokyoEd posted...Vaas is going to get annihilated seeing how new western characters have done so far. Almost as cringe worthy as your standard LMS post. Good job. --- Zinsanity of the Helix Board |
TsunamiXXVIII posted... 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. Meat Boy is a kind of character that is supposed to lose it's strength very very fast as the years go by It's going to be the same with Fire Emblem Awakening characters as I don't believe any of them will make the next contest I also believe Kuja brought Zidane down (lol losing to Master Hand) |

BlAcK TuRtLe posted... MegatokyoEd posted...Vaas is going to get annihilated seeing how new western characters have done so far. You may have a bit of a point there - it isn't just new Western characters who have flopped all contest, but new characters in general. And Vaas isn't the only one in that match who matches that description. For all we know, this is Neku's time to catch DAT TOP OPTION and get himself into Round 2. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Yeah, learn to read. He was implying Catherine had worse sales than that! --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonpngpe.png http://img.imgcake.com/squalloweenpngem.png |
Team Rocket Elite posted... I don't remember anyone saying they thought Wolf would hold up well to SFF let alone Zero level. That thinking is what made me pick Blue here, so I'm not complaining. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
I take it I'm screwed for picking Vaas to win. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak |
LeonhartFour posted... Yeah, learn to read. He was implying Catherine had worse sales than that! Obviously no one outside of Board 8 has played a game that sold 500k before it even launched in Europe. Makes sense to me. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |

Qwaar posted... I take it I'm screwed for picking Vaas to win. People always try to say that when they agree with one of my upsets, their bracket is screwed, but the proof is in the pudding. Top 10 Guru, almost Top 10 overall right now. Be nice if people showed a little respect around here. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite?

I think he definitely has a shot against Jill, though I'm starting to regret taking the upset in my bracket. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite?

A
year or two ago, I'd have figured Red Bird would be horrible fodder, my
rationale being "it's GameFAQs, who even plays phone games?" Think I've
grown a bit wiser since then and taken note of Angry Bird's ridiculous
play rate. I'm sure just about everyone here has played it, and quite a
few people have sunk their fair share of hours into the games. Couple
that with the iconic look and I doubt he'll be too bad. I'd take him
over Catherine. --- http://i.imgur.com/a4GuDV3.gif |
I'm
just going to type up the entire list of characters who have lost to
characters that debuted in games released after 2009 (not counting
characters who themselves fit the definition): Tingle Demi-Fiend Chie Satonaka Jak Caim Chester Heavy Poison Thrall Tommy Vercetti Wander Niko Bellic Sarah Kerrigan Kaim Argonar Neku could probably beat all of these guys other than maybe Jak. Catherine is probably in the same boat. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... More importantly, you give what you get Except it's completely untrue. People would be more respectful to you if you would be more respectful to others. It's pretty simple. Don't complain that people don't respect you when you show little respect for differing opinions. --- http://i.imgur.com/eqOQs.gif |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... Qwaar posted...I take it I'm screwed for picking Vaas to win. reminder that poster literally has Vincent beating Sonic Crono beating Pikachu and Cloud in the finals --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
Karma Hunter posted... BlAcK TuRtLe posted...Qwaar posted...I take it I'm screwed for picking Vaas to win. alright everyone assemble for Mewtwo>Vincent and Pikachu>Crono |
After seeing this I start to wonder how far Crono can drown Magus next round. I will die if the final % of that is something like this current match <_<. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
We've
seen that voters are smart and are willing to abandon a lost cause to
make sure their guy gets through. We're even seeing it here, albeit to
no avail. I really doubt Fox gets 87% on Wolf 1-on-1. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
Catherine was free on European PS+ for a month! She has that region locked down --- ~Zen |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... Qwaar posted...I take it I'm screwed for picking Vaas to win. Did I miss something? I wasn't referring to anything you were saying, I just feel that I've made a bad call having Vaas win and was wondering if anyone agreed. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak |
I don't believe in generic white guys I am somewhat scared about Neku, though. Definitely not going for a full pick there. --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... Qwaar posted...I take it I'm screwed for picking Vaas to win. You are not first,you know You made mistakes and you will make more Vaas winning is a mistake you are going to make What next? You will say that you picked Sandbag>Samus and we MUST agree with your pick because you are in the top 10? Iznotperfect did Sly>Lugia,you are not immune to stupid mistakes no matter how good you are |

1337gamerpr0 posted... Nanis23 posted...BlAcK TuRtLe posted...Qwaar posted...I take it I'm screwed for picking Vaas to win. Expert challenge is far more luck based, and you aren't punished by making a stupid pick in your bracket. I'm not saying I'm perfect, but I see it all the time in this topic when I lay out an argument for a pick, or for a trend analysis, and the assclown brigade comes out of the woodwork to (incorrectly) try and shoot my argument down. --- Game of the decade?

I
can't see Vaas being anything other than last in that match. I could be
wrong, but I think Catherine and Neku will have bigger fan bases on
this site and he'll probably be pretty comfortably in last place. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
Wow at Blue's performance here. Even if 100% of Wolf's votes were to go to Fox, Blue is still over 48% here, very impressive. By the way, I called Red's ceiling being Crono-level back in 2009! Why didn't this strength show up in the 2010 contest with those Ocelot and MMX matches!?! Looking at Yoblazer's scenarios, it looks like we are once again in the position of counting on Crono to make the contest interesting. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |

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. Speaking of FE, what's this mean for Lyndis? I think Rikku's in a position where she can't lose regardless, but... --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance!

Expert challenge is far more luck based, and you aren't punished by making a stupid pick in your bracket. How is it more luck-based and not simply more complex? --- "Hamas isn't really a terror organization." -Terran [Evil Republican] Play Der Langrisser. |
On
second thought, a lot of this is probably Fox getting weaker from the
Star Fox franchise being moribund for over a decade. He is top tier in
SSBM, but Star Fox used to be big in itself. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
"expert challenge is far more luck based"-BlAcK TuRtLe LOL |
Dead
Space doesn't seem too popular, and I'm not even sure if most people
who've at least played the game know the guy's name is Isaac Clark.. he
certainly doesn't seem immediately recognizable. Sandbag sounds ideal for second. --- "i am pretty sure 3-year old children would generate more thoughtful discussion than board 8 on any topic of sexism" - Naye745 |
The
problem is there isn't any good argument for Vaas. Catherine/Katherine
did decent in the vote-in poll for Rivalry Rumble(lol), and Neku did OK
against Laharl. Somebody already brought Handsome Jack, and how he completely sucked, so if you are going to base Vaas on FC3 strength, you have to assume the same for Handsome Jack, in which Borderlands 2 destroyed FC3 in. I mean, if you have something else, I'll be glad to hear it. Unless it's more sales crap and "LOL dating sim that only Board 8 plays". Fodder is fodder, but I'd rather have established fodder in a contest setting, than someone completely new and the only strength you can gauge from it is GOTY polls and playrate polls. Because LOL Xenoblade characters and LOL Borderlands 2 characters. --- http://i.imgur.com/32RNLnc.gif |
Can anyone explain how Pac-Man lost to pretty boy from uncharted? |
Let me put it this way. If you don't have [absurd upset here], you are an idiot and deserve to lose the contest. It's a complete and utter lock, and I know this because --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |

Although it's very possible that it could happen, it kinda makes me laugh thinking about Samus SFF'ing anyone. --- Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time |
Not_Wylvane posted... Speaking of absurdity, what are the chances that Samus SFFs a bag of sand? Not very good, seeing that Metroid's pretty much always been on the wrong end of SFF... --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
Samus
has actually SFFed both Ganondorf and Zelda a touch (though she's only 1
for 2 in the case of the latter). Normally, though, she's pretty
impotent at it. Sandbag probably gets SFFed, though probably not
terribly more than Sonic did to him. (yes, Magus was just that awful) --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
Catherine is totally going to get the dedicated Atlus fan vote. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
How's Neku's day vote? --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
Do you think that Fox would be doing slightly better if he had this picture instead? http://www.ssbwiki.com/images/b/bf/Fox_SSBM.jpg --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
1337gamerpr0 posted... "expert challenge is far more luck based"-BlAcK TuRtLe It's fine to debate whether the standard bracket-making procedure or Expert Challenge is the better way to have a contest, but more luck-based? Two things: 1) This is all luck-based in some way. 2) Expect Challenge allows you to get more information before making your final pick, which eliminates luck compared to the standard bracket. Would you rather pick who wins this nine-pack before the contest started, or the day before the match after seeing Game and Watch/Drake/Blue perform alongside nearly a hundred other matches first? Luck is still a factor, but let's not act like we're not more educated as we advance in a contest compared to before it begins. --- T H E S T A B L E - bring on Epona! http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |
