Ammy's
percentage is going to be one the top 10 highest in round one, above
multiple Noble Niners'. This pleases me. It also makes me scared about
just how weak Vyse and Adol actually are, but that's for another day. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
No.
What you guys are saying is just untenable. Either you're saying that
Mario actually RSSFed Link in 2002 and that the beatdown should have
been much worse or that Sephiroth would have 55/45d Link had they met in
2003 (depending on how much you think Link SFFed Mario in 2002), a
complete reversal of the 2002 result. Neither of those makes any sense
at all. |
ExThaNemesis posted... Karma Hunter posted...Oh, and if FF7 can ever shake these antivotes one day and get up to a more nostalgic level (like Old Square seems to), it might see a bit of a resurgence. The Link dominance is one character. Zelda and Ganondorf aren't particularly strong. But anyone with any FFVII connection is going to do really well in this tournament based on that alone. Link may be as deserving of antivotes as any FFVII character, but the FFVII game as a whole is more annoying because it encompasses so many characters and they're all so overpowered. --- Hey I just met you, and this is crazy, but you have died of dysentery. |
Karma Hunter posted... Marco: My.. mother... and father... were both killed by Valuan soldiers while they were trying to escape from this city! There's no way out!

I like Sept as much as the next day but he wouldn't beat Samus or Mario bro. Didn't Samus put up almost Snake numbers on Cloud in 2010? --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
re: today's match Isn't his name Vyse the Legend, technically? --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
ExThaNemesis posted... That match is so frustrating. If it had been anyone but frigging Vincent there, Sephiroth has a great shot at upending Link. Honestly, I'm not sure if Vincent being there didn't help Sephiroth out a bit. SmartVoterFAQs led to FFVII fans throwing all their eggs in Sephiroth's basket to see if he could beat Link. Sephiroth doesn't normally abuse Vincent that badly, as we saw in 2010. Could be wrong though. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/1363 And this is honestly still one of the most impressive results we've ever had in this contest, even if 2003 Mario is a step down from where he is now and he was probably feeling a bit of backlash from Mario/Crono II. He beat friggin' Mario by 30,000 votes without SFF. That's just crazy. --- "I can set you free, mate." "My freedom was forfeit long ago!" |
ExThaNemesis posted... re: today's match That's the top title you can earn in the game. Vyse's title changes as you progress through the game. Most Vyse fans simply call him Vyse the Legend because, well, it's awesome. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |

also guys we're sure Rayman destroys Vyse now right otherwise we may be in for a surprise Ammy victory next round --- http://i.imgur.com/eqOQs.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... also guys we're sure Rayman destroys Vyse now right Honestly, Leon, you should be rooting hard for Missingno now. I don't think Squall can beat Ammy with Tidus in the poll. |
Karma Hunter posted... TsunamiXXVIII posted...Midna's borderline. But you're right, I completely forgot about Kratos. He probably is above Amaterasu, too. Kratos also only got 60% on Tails. But you're right; Ammy doesn't really have any victories over anything of strength. She's just perceived as strong because her advancement has always come as a bracket-buster (seriously, look around the various "Most Surprising Results" pages; she's all over it) and she's among the select group that has never lost in Round One. Characters who have never lost in Round 1 of a contest, by contests competed in. (Years in which a character was excluded from the main bracket will not be counted. So Summer 2005 and Summer 2006 for Link, Cloud, and Sephiroth and Summer 2006 for Mario) 11 contests: None, obviously, because the only two characters who were in both Summer 2002 and Spring 2005 are Sephiroth, who was retired from the main bracket in two contests, and CATS, who has yet to even reach round 2 and also has missed some contests. 10 contests: Bowser Dante Mega Man (this contest's R1 result still pending) Ryu (SF) Samus Aran Solid Snake Sonic the Hedgehog 9 contests: Luigi Mario Sephiroth 8 contests: Auron Cloud Strife Link Yoshi 7 contests: Zelda (this contest's R1 result still pending) 6 contests: Sub-Zero Vincent Valentine 5 contests: Amaterasu Tifa Lockhart 4 contests: L-Block Mega Man X 3 contests: Altair Pokémon Trainer Red (this contest's R1 result still pending) Vergil Weighted Companion Cube (this contest's R1 result still pending) 2 contests: Charizard (this contest's R1 result still pending) Dr. Wily Dracula Gilgamesh Missingno. (this contest's R1 result still pending) Morrigan Aensland Mudkip* Pokémon Trainer Blue 1 contest: Ansem Barret Wallace Bartz Klauser Bayonetta* Bidoof Black Knight Blinky Chell Dragonborn Draven Elizabeth Epona Hogger Kairi King K. Rool Kyo Kusanagi Lucario Lugia M. Bison Master Hand Mr. Game and Watch Nero Orochi Serious Sam Sigma Squirtle Strider Hiryu Tharja Tina Armstrong Yoshimitsu* Zeus * If losing in a vote-in counts, these characters don't belong here either. Bayonetta actually made vote-ins in both CBVIII and Rivalry Rumble and failed to get into either one before finally getting into a match and winning this year. So many one-contest wonders. Most of these guys were either Villains Contest, Rivalry Rumble, CBI, or are newbies this year. Actually, the only ones that aren't are Bidoof, Hogger, and Kairi. Some pretty big characters aren't on this list, usually because of LOLseeding (the only thing worse about CBI than all of the fodder that was put in it was that Squall is only not on the above list because he was given a 15-seed in that contest and fed to Solid Snake in round 1). --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
TheOneAboveAll posted... Honestly, Leon, you should be rooting hard for Missingno now. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. --- http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/8718/leonflowchart.png |
Ahh I love reminiscing about the days of Sephiroth domination. Them were the good ol' days. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
also guys we're sure Rayman destroys Vyse now right otherwise we may be in for a surprise Ammy victory next round Using what Vyse got against Rayman in 2007 Amaterasu is expected to get 60.72% on Squall. Watch out Snake. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 53/66 Today's Picks: Squall and Amaterasu |
TheOneAboveAll posted... LeonhartFour posted...also guys we're sure Rayman destroys Vyse now right Tidus pulls a Kefka and beats Squall. Amaterasu is still in last place. --- Brawl FC - 1332 8069 6690 http://i.imgur.com/OZ9aS.png |

Neither of those makes any sense at all. Mario was weaker in 2003, especially after he was fresh off of stealing the vaunted rematch from Crono. Mega Man did better on Seph in 2003. Seph 2003 could conceivably 55-45 today's Link, but that's an even match with a decent Link advantage in 2003. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
pjbasis posted... I don't think Minecraft will lose to Katamari. The King would probably be a more appealing joke option than a freaking Creeper. But yeah, I should probably change, especially after seeing how fodderrific Katamari Damacy was in GOTD. I think it was Viewtiful Joe beating Handsome Jack that gave me the King > Creeper idea, but yeah Katamari Damacy isn't nearly as well-known as Viewtiful Joe (though it WAS better-received...). To think we could seriously see Wario dominate a match. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Tidus
beating Squall would be literally the biggest turnaround this contest
has ever seen! At least in terms of characters who've had a direct match
before. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/2516 If Tidus somehow made it to round 2, I think Squall would beat Tidus badly enough to prevent Ammy from capitalizing on it. Maybe not though. Either way, I'm willing to self-sabotage to give Tidus a good win. --- http://img.imgcake.com/nio/26leonpngat.png http://img.imgcake.com/nio/daigohadoupnguj.png |
LeonhartFour posted... also guys we're sure Rayman destroys Vyse now right Rayman is stronger than Vyse. Ammy is actually pretty strong though. The problem is Ammy is going to hold down Squall and Missingo is going to take first in that match, as much as that saddens me. --- Tornadoman78: tornadoman and tornadogirl like to kick box each other in my tornaolayzers and she dosent even mind getting hit |
why is Amaterasu going to hold down Squall again Seriously you guys find LFF in everything even when it has no reason to be there --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |
What I'm gathering from this match is that Amaterasu is going to Round 3. I can live with this. --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |
And yeah Leon's right Ammy isn't going to LFF Squall. Missingno is going to LFF Squall! --- http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh293/zukiraphaera/war-sig-1.png RIP Paul Bearer. Ohhhh nooooo. :( |

That Capcom, Final Fantasy, Sony overlap obviously. Can't beat a stand alone Pokeman. --- http://i.imgur.com/32RNLnc.gif |
I think we need Amaterasu in the final instead of Mario She'll LFF Link better than Mario will --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |

If only Big Boss had faced Auron this year we could have possibly seen a bigger one I still think Auron wins that because I'm not ready to put Big Boss on the verge of the Noble Nine quite yet. --- http://gifsoup.com/view4/2077316/thane-dance-o.gif http://gifsoup.com/view1/1334641/pop-that-collar-o.gif |

LeonhartFour posted... why is Amaterasu going to hold down Squall again "no fun allowed"-LeonhartFour and obviously Ammy would get a higher percentage than Mario in the final, DogFAQs contributes an automatic 15% :P |

Just
in case anyone is reading this, how do you calculate a character's
percentage for 1v1 in this 3 way? I mean lets say Cloud had 60%, Squall
has 25% and Mewtwo has 15%. How do I know that how much % Cloud has on
Mewtwo? How will the formula/calculation change if there are 5
characters? --- I have Cloud winning this contest, which means I'll beat most of you... Nawt gonna happen >_> |

How do I know that how much % Cloud has on Mewtwo? How will the formula/calculation change if there are 5 characters? just remove the other characters and compare them 1v1 in your example, Cloud gets 80% on Mewtwo, Squall gets 62.5% on Mewtwo, and Cloud gets 70.59% on Squall of course, this doesn't account for LFF or anything |
Oh alright, thanks a bunch both. --- I have Cloud winning this contest, which means I'll beat most of you... Nawt gonna happen >_> |
This is a terrifying performance. I know Vyse is a lot weaker, but this isn't *too* far off from where Cloud got on him once upon a time. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
I
wish Adol could give Ammy a few percents. Adol's performance is "too
good" to really make Ammy seem impressive. Ammy's only putting up +/-84%
on him. Considering how weak Adol should be, that's not all that
impressive. --- Bracket score: 57 / Expert score: 258 |

Hey, if we're gonna set the bar at Tifa 2005, I don't think any of us would begrudge Ammy that (she's not, but it's just very impressive to see these numbers nevertheless) --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
Snake scored 86% on Vyse in 2007, so I'm not putting too much stock into Ammy's performance, here. --- The Gamer In Me "Ike and Ash & Co. saw a Yoshi and didn't catch it." - Mer telling us his dream. |
Well, it's more like Vyse is making Ammy look like Tifa at this point anyway...! Poor VFL --- http://i.imgur.com/M7vKB.gif |

The Real Truth posted... LeonhartFour posted...also guys we're sure Rayman destroys Vyse now right To be fair, this is the same guy who was saying that Yuna stood no chance at beating Master Chief because Chief stood out in the match pic. But Chief isn't exactly the guy to benefit from STF if he's still as anti-voted as he used to be, which I have a hard time believing after his games did well in GOTD. My only guess is that the character fails to get support due to being a generic power-armored space marine while his games get support because of how impactful they have been. Because let's be honest: Master Chief's design is a bit of a stock character design for at least a decade now. By contrast, you don't see Link or Mario getting imitated as often. You think Samus gets a good amount of her support from being "the first lady of gaming" and voters thus recognizing the importance of that? Between that factor, Smash Bros., and her character design, there's good reason to think that her own games don't factor all that much into her contest strength. This, along with Nathan Drake disappointing and Master Chief bombing, is yet another sign that points towards the top quarter of the GOTD bracket being overrated in the stats, and I'm surprised that hasn't gotten more discussion. I suppose it's because we all accept that? I don't want that to be true, but then again maybe that's entirely out of me being a huge fan of Metroid Prime and Half-Life 2 (plus both those games being strong just makes sense going off of their popularity/critical acclaim elsewhere). --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Amaterasu is a beast. Awesome! --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
The Real Truth posted... Rayman is stronger than Vyse. Ammy is actually pretty strong though. The problem is Ammy is going to hold down Squall and Missingo is going to take first in that match, as much as that saddens me. Wait, why does Amaterasu and Squall overlap? Sounds like video game overlap to me! --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
