Apparently being discussed for 2 days in the stats topic = infamy


I take it you're still salty from Master Chief losing.

I don't think those two characters are necessarily representative of what Uprising could do for Pit.


Yeah, I agree. Pit could get some legit boost from Uprising, even if Hades and Palutena haven't done well. Pit's been around since Brawl. A game like Uprising only strengthens his profile on this site.

Still kind of surprised that Hades didn't do well though. Dude was so friggin cash in Uprising.


(Psst! It's Master Choke!)

While I agree on that point, 2012 still hasn't proven to be a good year for any sort of contest strength here. Whether we're talking about newcomers from 2012's biggest games like BL2/TWD/Xenoblade or returning characters from sequels like Halo 4/ME3 (though we saw Female Shepard, to be fair)...it's not been promising for KI:R.

guys

the writer of this blog is clearly someone from the stats topic trying to hoodwink us.

Who is it?

It could be ME

It could be YOU

it could even be

*gets shot*


Are you saying that the blog was a setup by a Stats Topic guy in order to start an insane game of Mafia to play during fodder matches?

That's... something I would do, actually.

Bit late to the discussion, but I will never understand why people here don't give Ness credit. He's done well enough in every match where he doesn't have to fight another Nintendo character.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

Well, I don't think the year really matters. Uprising is a game that would probably have some appeal to GameFAQs, has the benefit of being one of the 3DS's first big games, sold incredibly well, was well received, and is made by Nintendo. It isn't enough to necessarily guarantee a win, but Uprising has more things going for it.

You and me both. And then anyone who loses to Ness, even respectably is branded as fodder, since how could you lose to Ness?

Ness had a pretty bad first impression in these contests, and it's hard to shake that without something impressive. The fact that he hasn't won a debated match in eight years doesn't help matters any.

I am interested to see how this match goes down. Even if Missingno is a lot stronger than Tidus, which you think he should be, there seems like a fairly high chance that someone is going to try something funny on one or both sides.

On the other hand, if you asked me to lay odds I would not give a very good chance of Bacon removing Missingno votes. Cirno and Marisa and Guybrush (still can't believe this happened) are one thing. Removing votes from Missingno would cast a long shadow over everything he did in 2010.

Hmmm...Missingno should have the board vote in spades here.

Think he's already too far ahead, percentage-wise, to lose though.

Wow Tidus is going to actually look really good by the time this is over. Expected him to get completely blown out. MissingNo is definitely a lot weaker.

And really, even if Tidus ends up making Missingno look bad here, it won't make me feel any better about Squall's chances next round because you never know what it'll do.

The board vote gets more votes in a night match than a day match. More people are online at the start of a night match.

Banjo's never had a clean match if you believe he's capable of getting Nintendo SFF'd, so it's possible he's not quite as bad as he's always looked.
