Altair
is mentioned in Ezio games (and I think sort of stars in Revelations
too) and he's made out to be pretty cool so there's that --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |

Kenway is more popular than Connor, it feels like. --- You think this is over because I am dead. It's not over. The games have just begun. |
So... Ocelot > Roxas right? Does KH3 change things for Roxas??? --- Congratulation to SuperNiceDog. Guru Champ and Rivalry Rumble Master |

Okay
stupid question for sure.Tails is a female or male?I remember people
saying it was female.But I see that actually it is male.So what is the
truth? --- 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~ |
wait.. Zelda actually has a CHANCE to beat Charizard? and there are stats to back this up?? --- KA POWIE |
TheFlyingWolfen posted... wait.. Zelda actually has a CHANCE to beat Charizard? and there are stats to back this up?? Based on a constant Ezio, she absolutely crushes him. (Ezio isn't constant) But if you make an estimation of what you'd expect Ezio to get on Zelda, you can make a rough guess at what she'd do against 'Base Charizard 2010'. Edit (of course): If Ezio 2010 = Ezio 2013 and Tails 2010 = Tails 2013, Zelda 2010 gets 56.28% on Charizard 2010. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |

wait.. Zelda actually has a CHANCE to beat Charizard? and there are stats to back this up?? Zelda always had a chance, 55% on Kratos, if you believe Bowser > Charizard etc. Is she the favourite now? No, but there is always the chance. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 44/56 Today's Picks: Knuckles and Ezio |
Okay stupid question for sure.Tails is a female or male?I remember people saying it was female.But I see that actually it is male.So what is the truth? Male, female Sonic characters wear clothes. Also, Tails' real name is Miles. |
I
think that I was confused because I remember seeing a Sonic cartoon in
my country that was dubbed and Tails had a female voice.But anyway yeah a
nude female can't happen. --- 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~ |
Come
on, guys, we should all know by now that little boy characters in
animation and video games are almost always voiced by women. =P Tails is a dude. |
L-Block losing to a rally would pretty much be the best thing ever --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
1337gamerpr0 posted... CrushDavis posted...I was just looking through the match pics There was never any chance that she lost it. People are literally thinking ? Block isn't going to be fodder because of one bonus poll. Let's set aside, for a moment, the fact that there was a huge anti-L-Block backlash at the time, and that with no "non-joke" options in that poll, ? Block's Mario connection gave it the obvious win. That doesn't translate to legitimate strength--you could argue that in the contests that have followed, Weighted Companion Cube (which came in third in that poll, behind L-Block) has actually been stronger than L-Block. Just look at what L managed to do in the 1v1 setting. 63.89% on HK-47 and 60.49% on Isaac, both of which are fodder, and then 39.36% against Charizard. The age of the joke character has passed, and ? Block was never a character to begin with--at least L-Block gets the benefit of being as good a representative as its series can come up with. ? Block literally wouldn't have received any nominations if it hadn't been in that joke poll. But at least it can take solace in the fact that it actually got a matchup where it can take second place. Lyndis will be getting SFFed from two sides--? Block is Nintendo and comes from higher up on the series hierarchy (probably technically an rSFF scenario due to Games =/= Characters--rSFF tends to be most prevalent when the weaker character comes from the stronger series), while Rikku has the TJF and RPG hierarchy advantage. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
wow you took an obvious joke post too seriously and man people are still salty about L-Block? ZeldaFAQs confirmed |
"the age of the joke character has passed" *looks at ridiculously nonlinear, ridiculously joke trendy Missingno* well okay --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
Karma Hunter posted... "the age of the joke character has passed" Missingno also has a strong nostalgia factor going for it. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
Greyfeld posted... Karma Hunter posted..."the age of the joke character has passed" This is ridiculous, why the hell wouldn't ? Block have this? Missingno succeeded because he was (and probably is) still a fresher joke than L-Block from a more popular series. Anything else is a bad excuse. By no means is ? Block not full of ridiculous danger potential. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
Karma Hunter posted... Greyfeld posted...Karma Hunter posted..."the age of the joke character has passed" It's two completely different things. If you want to make a direct comparison, it would be more suitable to compare ?-Block with Pokeball. Missingno is a glitch from the original RBY games that a normal playthrough wasn't guaranteed to unlock. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
I think the fact that Link wins CHARACTER battles so much is the biggest joke of them all. The age of the joke character is endless. |
Taking Ocelot > Roxas Auron is a bad match up for the Rock's ass --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
Greyfeld posted... Karma Hunter posted...Greyfeld posted...Karma Hunter posted..."the age of the joke character has passed" And...? Your words aren't conveying any actual meaning. Nostalgia, believe it or not, is not that specific and contorted of a term. If you're trying to say that Missingno has nostalgia while things like L-Block and Magikarp and ? Block aren't nostalgic, you simply don't understand the meaning of the word. If you're arguing for something else, it isn't apparent. Missingno is at its core an unpredictable and nonlinear joke. Not the strongest we've ever had (go ask Yoshi), and there's more to it than that, but that is the absolute, fundamental essence of its strength. There's more to ? Block too, being a more ubiquitous joke from a more popular series - I'd bank a lot more on it except it's too explicitly derivative from L. But this idea that 'the time of jokes is at an end' isn't well supported by our data. Missingno is far more evidence against it than he could possibly be for it. Heck, even L broke 39% on bandwagoned Charizard well after the joke had been run into the ground (much more impressive than WCC's 39% on Luigi, as a final addition). --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
Link is an amazing character. He inspires tears, love, and trembling. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Yup,
not seeing any evidence for the time of jokes being at an end. It
almost feels like any joke can break 20% on Link these days..... --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
I keep reading bad things about both Revolver Ocelot and Roxas. Who takes second? --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
Roxas
is going to have to have the performance of his life to not get SFF
killed. Ocelot is about as safe a pick there as picking Ocelot to win a
match gets. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
Auron > Ocelot > Roxas Auron is real powerful Ocelot likes night matches, MGS has been doing great so far (except for Otacon) Roxas hates night matches, can get SFF'd by Auron and is weaker than Ocelot anyway. --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
Is Auron in one of the KH games? --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
Ocelot > Roxas thing is I don't trust Roxas to beat Ocelot 1vs1 , and Auron just seal the deal for me Edit: yeah Auron is in KH2 --- ... |

?
Block isn't a joke. There's no real "joke" aspect to it. There was some
reason to think of L-Block, Missingno., Sandbag, and WCC as characters,
and it was funny to do so. ? Block is just a recognizable object. Not
does it have any "legitimate" strength in any way. People know what it
is, and that's about it. It's going to bomb hard. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Not seeing a real difference between L-Block and ? Block. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
ZFS posted... Not seeing a real difference between L-Block and ? Block. You do actually control L-Block at least. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. |
face
up guys, ? Block has just as much of a chance as pulling off some kind
of freaky deaky run as L-Block and MissingNo did, whether or not it pans
out or not we shall see --- http://i.imgur.com/GhorUQg.jpg ~Masa |
L-block
was about as good a representative for Tetris as you were going to get
it, and you do in fact control it during gameplay. Of course it's a
character, or at least treating it as such was funny! And it moves
around, so all these complaints about it being an "inanimate object" are
nonsense. It's certainly not inanimate! Random Mario thing nobody cares about is not funny. And even if you were going down that route, there was no good reason besides the Bonus Poll to choose ? Block. You went with THAT over a Mushroom or Starman or something? Really? Would take a sig bet over this. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Match LIX: (5) Auron vs. (14) Revolver Ocelot vs. (23) Roxas Previous Contest Auron – 2010 57.64% against Aerith Gainsborough 56.69% against Zero 48.19% against Squall Leonhart Revolver Ocelot – 2010 49.84% against Pokemon Trainer Red Roxas – 2010 56.96% against Heavy 40.94% against Sub-Zero Analysis This should be an easy win for Auron and it will give us a preview of the status of Final Fantasy X characters for this contest. After watching Celes’ performance on Knuckles it is becoming clear that old Final Fantasy has gone up and this is not just a Dissidia boost. We have also seen Final Fantasy VII looking pretty horrible, whether that is just Final Fantasy VII or new Final Fantasy in general remains to be seen. Zidane did look fine against Ridley so I think it is more just Final Fantasy VII and the other new Final Fantasy games will be fine. Ocelot has had a few whacky results in the past, most notably losing to Jill post-Metal Gear Solid 4 after winning against her in the previous year, but he should have no problem taking second in this match. Metal Gear Solid 5 has been announced and Ocelot is already shown to be part of the game. Despite losing in the first round in 2010 his performance against Red was decent considering Red held up quite well against Mega Man X. Roxas is no weakling, but I do not see him upsetting Ocelot. He has made a couple of cameo appearances in Kingdom Hearts side games since we last saw him, but I doubt that will give him much strength. Kingdom Hearts 3 has been announced, but I also doubt it will give him a boost with it so early in production. Plus there is always the possibility that Auron SFF Roxas like Aerith did to Sora in 2003. This should be an easy 1, 2, 3 match where none of the characters are threatened in losing their match. I do not expect Final Fantasy X characters to follow in their older brother’s footsteps, but even if it does Auron would need quite the drop to lose this match, or even next round outside of massive rallying. charmander6000’s Bracket: Auron > Revolver Ocelot and Roxas charmander6000’s Prediction: Auron – 51.68%, Revolver Ocelot – 28.33%, Roxas – 20.99% --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 44/56 Today's Picks: Knuckles and Ezio |
Nanis23 posted... You know,Bomberman is kind of a weird character That first video is Final Fantasy music. Why is Bomberman ripping off Final Fantasy music? Or is that some really famous classical music piece? Masato_Tanaka posted... face up guys, ? Block has just as much of a chance as pulling off some kind of freaky deaky run as L-Block and MissingNo did, whether or not it pans out or not we shall see The fact that L-Block already had that run pretty much kills any chance of that happening with ? Block. I actually have ? Block over Rikku in my bracket but I don't think I even realized Rikku was in that match...I'd switch to Rikku if I could, and I think I'll go with Rikku in my Expert. I don't have much faith in ? Block there. But, if ? Block does win, it will be because of raw strength. If it wins it will be through SMB nostalgia power. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
LeonhartFour posted... Ezio's not going to be a near elite or anything, but 60% on Tails is a noticeable improvement over 60% on Simon Belmont. Is it really? http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3694 My instinct says Tails beats Simon, maybe safely (Sonic Generations since 2010 + recognition)...but the vote-in suggests otherwise. --- T H E S T A B L E - bring on Epona! http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |
If
Tails is actually on par with Simon Belmont (I don't think this is
true), unbandwagoned Charizard is going to get hilariously exposed. The
implications of that can't be overstated. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
Bah, here's the youtube video I was talking about youtube.com/watch?v=4oFF-CrhRY0 What's up with this site always deleting URLs when you quote them. HaRRicH posted... LeonhartFour posted...Ezio's not going to be a near elite or anything, but 60% on Tails is a noticeable improvement over 60% on Simon Belmont.

I'm
sure this has been talked about before, but isn't it possible that old
FF is getting a "boost" due to overall decreased traffic on the site
homepage? People aren't going through the homepage as often as they used
to when looking for something. Thus, the people who know to check the
homepage for the poll make up a larger percentage than they would in
previous contests. And since this site has traditionally been more
FF-friendly (especially FFVII and FFX) than the general Internet, it
results in a relative boost. Just a theory. --- Every day the rest of your life is changed forever. |
(5) Auron (14) Revolver Ocelot (23) Roxas One from the upper tiers, one from the middle, one from the "this guy would make a decent fodder line" masses. Auron should have no problems thrashing Ocelot, who in turn should beat Roxas handily, especially since Auron likely overlaps with him through Kingdom Hearts. For some numbers, Auron has faced Sub-Zero three times and 60/40'd him on every occasion. He 60/40'd Roxas and is likely about as strong as Ocelot, given that he ran equal with Jill against Samus, who had two famously close matches with Ocelot in the 4-ways. Therefore Auron should probably 60/40 Ocelot, who in turn should 60/40 Roxas. In reality, I think Auron will do a bit better and Roxas a bit worse thanks to SFF, but I wouldn't expect anything wildly outside that range. By the way, it's nice to see an FFX pic for Auron - I much prefer that look to his KH appearance. Ocelot looks a bit too much like a generic old man though, while Roxas could be mistaken for a girl. Bracket: Auron Oracle: Auron - 49.5%; Ocelot - 31.5%; Roxas - 19% --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
On
the contrary, post-FF7 Square has looked pretty shoddy so far. I feel
like Auron should be insulated against that somewhat, but don't be
surprised if Ocelot can make him look bad tonight. Or if he has a close run with Roxas really Ocelot's kinda wacky --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
