Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1093

I hate those matches where you have no idea who will win but it probably won't be close
So this is like...waiting for the first post freeze update and go "oh"
#102 | White_Tiger | Posted 8/5/2013 7:44:01 AM | message detail
Samus might get 69% wow

is this more impressive than Cloud's 66% ? both faced weak opposition but I think Sandbag>Prinny and Armstrong=Isaac
#103 | LinkMarioSamus | Posted 8/5/2013 7:47:51 AM | message detail
Part of me wants to say that Isaac would beat Armstrong, but who the heck knows.

Uh...is Senator Armstrong the first character with that last name to enter a character battle since 2002?

Probably, yes, but it doesn't really matter. Cloud (and FFVII) are just incapable of blowing out fodder to the extent of Samus, Mega Man, even Sonic these days. I think Samus looked better than Cloud for most of the 2010 contest, but he ended up dispatching her easily when they met.

I like how I just got into an obsession with watching reviews of puzzle games, and now the next match will feature a puzzle game character.

Catherine is a puzzle game, right?

Samus is looking a lot more impressive than Cloud here, but it doesn't really matter because so far Cloud's the only member of the FFVII-crew to not embarass himself (aside from maybe possibly Aerith) and there's nothing aside from completely bombing Samus can do this contest that'll matter.

To be fair, BlAcK TuRtLe has been pretty adamant about Vaas winning.

I feel like people are being a bit unnecessarily condescending towards this match, all the talk about boobs versus kingdom hearts proxy voting is a bit ...bleh for my liking. It's a match being contested by characters from two leads from two of the better games of the generation. If we believe the site as a whole doesn't care about Dude McBro's then surely we must believe some of the high quality, less mainstream games (like TWEWY and Catherine) are held in high and wide regard here. Otherwise we're looking at a site that just stopped playing games in 2006 and hates everything.

It's not like people here necessarily dislike Neku and Catherine. Catherine definitely had a lot of fans around here and I think TWEWY is pretty well liked as well. The condescending attitude comes from the fact that both are expected to be really weak contestwise.

I have a feeling that "stopped playing games in 2008 would be more appropriate.

I have no offense against you or him, but winning a guru contest doesn't mean you're always correct by default.

That's just human nature for ya.
I have not idea who is going to win, I picked Vaas for my bracket, but I'm regretting that now. Might still fiddle with my expert pick. Guess we'll find out in 25 minutes or so.

For whatever reason, I'm tempted to believe that Samus is catching the "iconic old-school character" boost that the likes of Pac-Man, Spyro, and Crash have caught (and this boost might cancel out any negative effects that Other M has had). Would also explain why Mario characters have performed so well this contest so far.

(by contrast, Link wouldn't really benefit since his series was much bigger in the 2000s than in the 1990s...lol Ulti)

Ulti won a contest. Yoblazer's placed on more leaderboards than probably anyone else. Several regulars here won prize-money, myself included.

Nobody's infallible, and nobody should treat other people like they are. It's not like we haven't jumped on Ulti's case about arrogance in the past, either, so throw your past credentials to the side and stick to what's ahead. It's the best way to get along.

Should ask Magus or Commander Shepard.

Can't believe Shepard was so weak back then.
