Also,
does this retroactively make Barret look a little better? I find it
hard to believe Reimu's rally was legit and these two weren't. --- http://i52.tinypic.com/2zfiu09.gif http://i54.tinypic.com/10729w2.gif |
Did Missile have weird geolocation results like the Touhous did? --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Man I should have banked here. Damn you guybrush! --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
For the record, just as a random guestimate, if you drop 1000 votes from Reimu, the percentages for her match change to this: Barret - 51.54% Layton - 32.14% Reimu - 16.33% --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |
Barret looks a little better but, uh, he's still barely doing as well on Layton as Isaac did. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
Yeah, obviously his relation to Layton isn't affected by removing votes from Reimu, so there's still that. --- http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2011/8/22/2094c2de-bae8-4f5b-9f27-67eaff0aaeaf.jpg |
Although
really, Layton has plenty of reason to be stronger since last time we
saw him. He's had like, what, 2-3 new games? Plus, I'm sure there HAS to
be some sort of hype for him for Layton vs. Ace Attorney. Might not be
worth much, but I'm sure Phoenix Wright fans would be much more inclined
to vote for Layton now than they were 3 years ago. Also, I wonder if Max still has a shot at coming back once Europe goes to bed. He's still closer to Guybrush than Protoman was to Ike, although they're getting fewer votes per update than those two were. --- "Stay with me until the end. Please." "Not until the end. Always." |
KamikazePotato posted... Did Missile have weird geolocation results like the Touhous did? If there was any legit rally I'd say it was Missile, the threads were getting hundreds of replies on multiple boards. His votes died when the threads did after about ~3 hours, he didn't even start off that well which mirrored the slow burn of the thread. --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |
And here I thought Crono Trigger sucked without cheating...lol Marisa --- Wii Fit Trainer MASTER RACE |
Yeah
I wouldn't be surprised if Barret ultimately looked more decent and
Layton significantly boosted, but there's still a limit you gotta put on
that. Barret looks to be the weakest FF7 main character by far outside
of, like, maybe Cait Sith, which is sad times. :( --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
Yeah, makes me sad, too. He's still got an outside shot at beating Yuffie...! Actually, probably not because of Kingdom Hearts. Gross. --- http://i52.tinypic.com/2zfiu09.gif http://i54.tinypic.com/10729w2.gif |
This website --- F*** BT |
It
is sad. I've seen a lot of people who can't even take Barret seriously
because they don't look past the whole "Mr. T racial stereotype" thing
and don't like him just because of that. Poor Barret. In an ideal world
he'd be like the 2nd or 3rd strongest FF7 character. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
My
ideal party is Yuffie/Barret/Cid, but you know what I went with from my
playthrough topic! Too bad those 3 aren't the strongest FF7 characters
on this site instead. I don't mind the others being good in contests
aside from Tifa and Vincent who I think should be much weaker. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
Some
of his silly stereotyping aside, Barret's more important than pretty
much the entire main cast aside from the Cloud/Tifa/Aeris trio for the
first half of the game, and he remains prominent throughout all of FF7. I
understand his *cough* 'design' isn't really in GameFAQs' niche but,
man, it still kinda hurts to see it in action. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
Barret
is amazing during the first 10-15 minutes of the game, which you'd
think would count for more than it does, first impressions having a big
impact and all that. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
So with all these new characters bombing, any shot at Sissel beating Corvo? --- "In fact, I should just play good games from now on... Man, F*** THAT, let's play some s***ty ones!" - Angry Video Game Nerd |
I might say so! If Isaac could muster the strength to beat a bag of sand, then I'd definitely go Corvo. --- Wii Fit Trainer MASTER RACE |
Barret's
probably one of the more "real" characters in the game, which is a
strange thing to say considering the dude literally has a gun for an
arm. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
Yes.
Corvo should fall prey to the Generic McDude trap, or at least he
should be more likely than Jensen. At least Jensen looks like a cool
sci-fi dude. Corvo...I guess people could see the helmet or the knife?
Sissel's design should be more appealing to the average GameFAQs voter,
plus his dog already kicked ass. Dishonored is also not all that popular, even among 2012 games. Basically, he's in uh-oh city unless you think his helmet and knife really help him. EDIT: XFD that helmet is not helping him, unless people like skulls that much. Which is possible I guess? I took the guest spot on the analysis crew for that match, and I have Sissel beating Corvo. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Stop
using terms when you don't know what they mean, LMS. You literally have
no idea what a Generic McDude is if you think Master Chief and Corvo
fall prey to it. --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif |
Speaking
of FF7 have any of the characters ever had the "Lego" models used in
pics for the matches? I'm thinking it was probably yes way back in the
first one/s, but I don't recall seeing any in the more recent contests. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |

Um. http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/albums/cb8/cb8-111.jpg Yeah. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
--Smurf-- posted... The definition is loose I resent Sgt Cortez (Timesplitters) being included in that image! --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
Corvo has the design like the Assassin Creed guys and that's not a bad thing. You can't take Missile's performance into much account since most of the voters probably voted for him since he's a dog. The thing about Sissel is that his game isn't that old either, it's only been out for 2 years, and odds are his fans are Nintendo fans who'd probably vote for Red. --- "In fact, I should just play good games from now on... Man, F*** THAT, let's play some s***ty ones!" - Angry Video Game Nerd |
--Smurf-- posted... The definition is loose Yes, but Master Chief and Corvo don't fit into that since they wear very distinctive outfits and masks. I mean, that's what makes them...not generic. They have standout designs. --- http://i.imgur.com/CbfFb.jpg |
FFVII
characters usually get character models whenever we have a sprite
round. Cloud and Aerith occasionally get a KH Chain of Memories sprite,
but that's it. --- http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/7760/222bj.jpg |
Ugh Max, I wish you would do something
to give me a glimmer of hope. I think I'll just ride what I have
already picked till the end of round 1 and see where I stand.
Flip-flopping the day before matches seem to hurt me more than help. --- http://i.imgur.com/32RNLnc.gif |
If Max makes a move, it'll be soon-ish. Europe's gonna start going to bed in a bit. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
Sorozone posted... Flip-flopping the day before matches seem to hurt me more than help. Same here. |
Flip-flopping at the last minute helped me with Nook/Pyramid Head! Then I got lucky by forgetting to flip-flop to Marisa > Jensen yesterday! --- http://i.imgur.com/kCpvD.gif |
Corvo is losing to Sissel --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
Ghost
Trick probably has one of the lowest playrates on this site. Sissel
won't be anywhere near Missile. Dishonored actually didn't do that badly
in GOTY, for the little that's worth. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
--Smurf-- posted... The definition is loose lol "Too Human" is too much fitting Anyway some people here called Agent 47 generic and I don't get it He is bald,his name is a number,he got a tatoo on his head and he wears a suit with a tie What so generic about him? |
F*** yeah Guybrush. That's all I got. --- *shrug* |
Agent
47 predates most of the McDudes by quite a bit, and he never turned out
to be the Neo-Tanner people were trying to make him in 2005. Though
after Absolution, he's definitely an honorary McDude for sure. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
the one time I flip-flopped, I got burned by Lee/Meat Boy oops |
So just out of curiosity, what would you guys consider to be a "good" performance out of Squall tonight? I'm not really sure. I know he's facing two fodder guys. Rayman's probably a bit stronger than he was back in 2007 when he lost to Vyse, but I literally don't know anything about this Commander Video dude. --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonpngpe.png http://img.imgcake.com/squalloweenpngem.png |
LeonhartFour posted... I literally don't know anything about this Commander Video dude. He's a predominantly Wii/PC-centric indie. He can be easily brushed off. |
Anything
above 65% would be good. Rayman should definitely get a boost a la
Crash and Spyro. Commander Video I expect to be below 12%. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
High
60s. I expect a lot out of Squall, given that I've traditionally
considered him our strongest Non-Noble (not to say he isn't capable of
beating a NNer). --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
LeonhartFour posted... So just out of curiosity, what would you guys consider to be a "good" performance out of Squall tonight? I'm expecting at least 65%. --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
I think I pegged him at around 67-68% in my Oracle. But I always get nervous whenever he has a match because I'm afraid he'll end up looking bad! The dream could come crashing down any moment! And before he gets to beat a Noble Niner, at that! Darn it, Bacon! Get your bracket making skills together, man! --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
Although if Squall beats Missingno, can we say he's beaten two Noble Niners by proxy (Sonic via Auron and Crono via Missingno)? That'd be swell. --- http://i.imgur.com/fe05x.png http://i.imgur.com/stNJf.png |
so which characters outside the Noble Nine would have the best shot of taking down a Noble Nine member in a 1v1 (I'd laugh if Pikachu somehow got super close to 50%) |
65%
would be good, I think. He should finish in the high to mid 60's, if he
is even close to sniffing 59 or lower, I might be a bit worried about
his strength. I can't see Video being worth, anything. Rayman may have
gotten some kind of nostalgia, better games boost though. --- http://i.imgur.com/32RNLnc.gif |
Man how are you forgetting that Squall's beaten Kirby --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
