I thought Chief might have a chance, but I forgot what website I was on for a second --- F*** BT |
I
thought it was a complete tossup. I ended up taking Yuna in my expert
thankfully but I took Chief to go over 38% in my spread bet. Whoops --- GT: wgt07 Metroid Prime, Super Meat Boy speed runs: http://www.youtube.com/user/wgtan01 |
alexjones555 posted... surprised but glad that Yuna is winning this, she has far more depth as a character than master chief. Not true, if you bothered to play any of the games, or any of the non-game Halo stuff (novels, movies), Chief is a very deep character. Certainly more deep than "I have to kill myself to save people HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA" and later "I'm a pop princess now, but I can't live without my Teedus HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA" This is just a joke of a match. It seems as though all of the people with any taste or reason have left the site, and the few people still voting are the hentai anime fanboys that see a pretty cartoon female and feel some White Knight complex to vote for (and subsequently masturbate to) said character. --- Game of the decade?

Just saw todays match for the first time... geez Chief can you get any worse? This is probably the worst Chief we've ever seen --- http://i.imgur.com/lnKB0m9.jpg http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1184880/davis-again.gif http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8118/8656607511_94178dbf2e_o.gif |
Someone mad. --- Still smilin' :> |
dat BT salt, right on schedule --- F*** BT |
Also, this match is more about luck than predictive skill right? --- *shrug* |
MC doing 6% better in US if this was a night match he would be getting destroyed even more --- ... |
C'mon Claire stay in striking range so you can start ripping MC once we get out of the Halo Power Hour --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
Well then --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |

And Claire being last is a shame too, since she definitely has way more depth and personality than Yuna. I'll never understand people who vote for Final Fantasy X characters (with the exception of Auron) --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite?

ZFS posted... Chief never made much sense here. Just didn't seem like a good pick with the Xbox problems and the smaller votes. Well in people's defense, Chief had some startlingly good advantages here. He's possibly the biggest day character we have. Honestly, in a 24-hour match, I have trouble finding an opponent who actually rises in the day against Master Chief (uhhh Marcus Phoenix?). Chief, the ultimate day vote character, is up against two similar looking, night vote-oriented female characters with nearly identical picture poses and proportions. The fact that he's not just losing - but getting his ass kicked by these combined powers of booty - is just amazing. The only sad thing here is that Yuna is a legit entry with a pretty good contest history; she didn't need this. If you swapped her out for some invisible third place fodder, CLAIRE would be doing this to Chief. And we would be in an uproar. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/gdl8lcn.jpg |
chief would be winning if he had a gun is his pic or maybe an ass pic --- i'll do rydia -Dante |
BT salt, a classic |
BT salt, to 500!!! Oh wait. --- The cycle of life and death continues. We will live. And they will die. |
nintendogirl1 posted... Also, this match is more about luck than predictive skill right? No, not really. Like I said, their 2010 performances pretty much nailed this match. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
One day Claire will win a contest match. One day. I am still so SAD that you guys voted Kairi over her. :( --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
ChenKenichiFan posted... ZFS posted...Chief never made much sense here. Just didn't seem like a good pick with the Xbox problems and the smaller votes. Sora pre-KH2? I think he started to lose some of his kiddy image and pick up night votes after that. --- *shrug* |
Greyfeld posted... nintendogirl1 posted...Also, this match is more about luck than predictive skill right? I won't accept this, though. Ryu H's 2010 x-stat ranking is not valid. MC is flat-out weaker now. (so is Ryu H, but that's another story) --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
I'll never receive enough punishment for the way I voted in 2006. To Claire's credit, she might be the most entertaining winless character ever. All three of her losses have been great times. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif |
Yeah,
I guess the day vote could have given someone pause. Still, I would
think the lack of a big casual vote like we used to get would be a
bigger force for people. Think Yuna was the favorite, though, so most
seemed to be in the right corner here. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
It still bums me that Yuna is going to be crushed by Tifa next round when Yuna is so many tiers above her in terms of character. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
I
dunno, I just had a hard time seeing the site latch onto anything
Microsoft after the mess with Xbox One... and Chief of all things can be
the lightning rod for all that hatred since hes the face of the Xbox. --- http://i.minus.com/jbiGPMGVHJkJ5F.png http://i.minus.com/jbjrjeszi5Bojs.jpg http://i.minus.com/jDswy1q7MCAye.jpg http://i.minus.com/jX6dhkFSD8ugm.jpg |
Hey, if FF7 has fallen off a cliff while FFX has stayed steady, that sounds like a crazy upset pick in the making to me! Round 2 Face Shots Tifa no chance --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
OMG
even though this is going to further ruin my already dead bracket
(after such a good start, I was even on the leaderboard at one point) I
find this result to be absolutely hilarious. I mean, I think Yuna sucks
as a character, but Chief isn't much better and is the face of
Microsoft's gaming platforms, so seeing him crash and burn is just
outstanding. Come on Claire for 2nd place! --- I pwn you all! |
Tifa gets to crush two FFX characters this contest assuming Auron doesn't fold to L-Block. Should be good. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
Looking
ahead here, unless Tidus or the Creeper decide to challenge our
conventions, we've gotta some pretty secure winners until the Pit/Cecil
match, which gives us the weekend to breathe a bit. --- http://i.imgur.com/a4GuDV3.gif |
That's not good. It's terrible because she's worse than both! --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
let's go Pit boost --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
2Dover3D posted... I dunno, I just had a hard time seeing the site latch onto anything Microsoft after the mess with Xbox One... and Chief of all things can be the lightning rod for all that hatred since hes the face of the Xbox. Yeah, this. Few characters are more closely associated with a brand than Chief is with Microsoft, and it was hard to see him winning when there was so much negativity toward MS and Xbox One... --- Jer is trash~! Soul Calibur jobber to the stars since 2002! |
I
think at this point people are only really giving Pit a chance because
he's Nintendo. I keep trying to think of ways for him to pull that match
off and they're not coalescing. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
I
chose Pit in my bracket, at the time, because of Kid Icarus Uprising
and not expecting old Square to be a big deal, like it always was. Cecil
probably wins, but I think Pit makes a good match of it. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Knux just looked like he would struggle against Celes. I don't think anything can save Pit with how Old Square has looked so far. Even a boost to Ike's level, which is what basis I chose him on, wouldn't help him. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
ChenKenichiFan posted... Looking ahead here, unless Tidus or the Creeper decide to challenge our conventions, we've gotta some pretty secure winners until the Pit/Cecil match, which gives us the weekend to breathe a bit. Always bet on Duke. --- I pwn you all! |
Same.
If it weren't a day match, I would have snuffed out that last little
candle of hope. Cecil is definitely the favorite and my Oracle/Expert
picks will reflect that. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/NQTthNf.jpg |

I keep trying to think of ways for him to pull that match off and they're not coalescing. Hey, if Placenta can exceed expectations against L-block, there's always the chance that Pit... yeah I got nothing. --- Menji has reclaimed what was his by rights. I was more of a man with his than with my own combined. ##Alec |
Pit
might pull off a win. Palutena did pretty decently all things
considered and Kid Icarus Uprising might have brought in a decent amount
of non-original KI/Brawl players. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
Karma Hunter posted... Greyfeld posted...nintendogirl1 posted...Also, this match is more about luck than predictive skill right? Even if Ryu's x-stat ranking isn't valid (not sure why, you'll have to explain that to me), he and Zack both went up against Mega Man, and Zack pulled in an extra 10% in his match. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
I'm
not saying Pit winning is impossible, but... Palutena isn't a
convincing argument, at least to me. There's a reliable contingent of
anti-L Block votes now and they weren't going to go to Teemo. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
Ugh,
Yuna doing so well means that she very well could split with Tifa next
round. Which would be GREAT news for me if Dragonborn had proven to be
worth a damn. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
Yeah,
but round one matches are the only ones we can really get accurate
prediction stats on. Everything else you have a certain segment whose
"pick to win the match" isn't even in the match. In the case of a
perceived "3-point match", that can really throw things off. Can't come
up with an official contest example offhand, but when this year's
bracket was announced, someone, I forget who, made a hypothetical
256-character 1v1 bracket with 13 additional characters chosen primarily
from high-profile snubs like Jecht and Liquid Snake, then played out
this "what could have been" bracket in what amounted to a glorified
fanfic. One of the cruelest first-round matches was (4)Bowser vs
(13)Vincent Valentine (do the math; the nine 23-seeds would be
characters 199-207, while the sixteen 13-seeds in a 16x16 bracket would
be 193-208.) Two near-elites in Round 1. Assume that prediction
percentages on this match are near 50-50--or worse, that one of them
gets a decided bracket advantage and loses--and you get a lot of
not-debatable later-round matches with poor prediction percentages. Make
no mistake, that first-round match was for the entire division. I'm
pretty sure that 4-13 was in one of the seven divisions that took its
top seed from the ranks of our 2-seeds rather than the Noble Nine. That's obviously an extreme case, but you really do have to consider the possibility. Vincent's obviously lost a step, sure, but he's still a strong character who can't seem to pull down a high seed. It's quite possible that one of these contests, he will run into a setup where he's engaged in a 7-point round one match--a 2-15 or 3-14 where only the 1-seed is a legitimate threat afterwards. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
Greyfeld posted... Karma Hunter posted...Greyfeld posted...nintendogirl1 posted...Also, this match is more about luck than predictive skill right? http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/albums/cb8/cb8-102.jpg His x-stat rating is absurd. Taken at face value he's expected to score less on Zero in 2010 than he did on Zero, Pit, and King Dedede combined. He's also weaker now - Ninja Gaiden 3 practically destroyed the series. Straight up, peak Ryu Hayabusa probably wins the Kefka/Zack/Ryu H trio outright due to fanbase splitting. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
ZinsanityCraze posted... --Smurf-- posted...As I said in the other thread that seems to be getting abandoned for some reason. *shrug* I couldn't think of a better name for it but yes. That style of character (crazy swords, wild hair, strong, anti-social, some sort of hidden background) is designed to resonate particularly well with the kind of teenage boys who play rpgs, it's not surprising that as the userbase gets older their tastes drift away from them. It's a lot more consistent and logical to whats hapening than the idea that square is declining and every anomaly can be explained by Dissidia, including old Square's rise while just continuing to shrug shoulders at Rydia, Yuna and soon Tidus & Rikku. --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |
Badass decline factor?Yeah you heard it right here. --- 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~ |
Master Chief gobbling up percentage now, he might make this look respec.... bahahaha no. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
Karma Hunter posted... http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/albums/cb8/cb8-102.jpg Ok... but that doesn't really nullify my point about him sucking it up against Mega Man. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
Square hasn't disappointed so far. Final Fantasy VII
has disappointed. The only real exception to this is Seifer, and he's
probably been that bad all along. We've just never seen him in a contest
before. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
Came along all nervous that Yuna was struggling. Aw yeah. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
