If you're looking for dogs to nominate, look no further than the only Top 10 list I ever contributed: http://m.gamefaqs.com/features/top10/2029.html --- For your SuperNiceDog. At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza |

xp1337 posted... If we get a game contest, the Guru pick should be Nintendogs. Speaking of games contests, I *REALLY* don't want division by eras again... Gods, that just leads to boatloads of boring matches, especially in the earlier parts of the bracket. --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance!

CoD Ghosts Dog vs Fable 2 Dog in the final. --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima SuperNiceDog: Bracket: Good, Taste: Bad |
My
claim that Corvo was going to be trash mainly comes from my theory on
games from 2012 I've brought up off and on: no new character from 2012
has looked worthwhile... --Tiny Tina, Face McShooty, and Handsome Jack were from last year's GotY. --Dunban, Reynolds, and Shulk were from last year's runner-up for GotY. --Lee and Clementine were from last year's fourth place-game. --Palutena and Hades were from a game that lost to New Super Mario Bros. Wii U. --Draven, Peacock, Kat, Vaas, and Corvo were also introduced in 2012. ...their games also stink strength-wise, according to BL2... http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/4962 ...and I'll also throw in that no returning character from Playstation All-Stars showed convincing signs of a boost yet; Dante and Drake are the best arguments so far, and they had other games since we last saw them in 2010. They're not newcomers, but that's at least a new kind of exposure. It's like GameFAQs skipped nearly everything in 2012 except ME3 (which was notoriously divisive), so color me unimpressed about anybody stomping Corvo. --- T H E S T A B L E - bring on Epona! http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |

Alright guys, I just put up the first topic relating to this weekend's bonus match: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/66970813 Start brainstorming ideas for a bonus match. We need to make sure our picsmiths have enough time to create match pictures, so any bonus match has to be finalized by the end of this week. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Oh man if I ever win the guru I'm nominating That Dog --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
Fayt_Esteed posted... I'd take Ocelot to break 70% on these losers without a second thought. You know, Ocelot is likely the 3rd strongest character in his ninepack. Also what percent does Ezio get on Auron if we assume Tails = Ocelot? --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
MoogleKupo141 posted... If you're looking for dogs to nominate, look no further than the only Top 10 list I ever contributed: I still wonder how in the flying f*** Tom Nook made the contest 5 times (ok the Rivalry Rumble was for the lulz), hell Mr. Resetti somehow made the contest once, but K.K. Slider, the sole universally liked Animal Crossing character, doesn't even make it in once. Jeez, what's wrong with people? --- "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 |
MoogleKupo141 posted... If you're looking for dogs to nominate, look no further than the only Top 10 list I ever contributed: I feel like Rush would be the strongest character from that list, because he came from the Mega Man series. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
LinkMarioSamus posted... Also what percent does Ezio get on Auron if we assume Tails = Ocelot? I don't see why you would assume something so ridiculous and pointless. Yeah they're close in the 2010 X-stats, but Tails got blessed by being under Charizard, and Ocelot got cursed by being under someone who got SFF'd by Link. People who are under Sonic are also underrated in the stats. --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
The best bonus match IMO would be Dark Link vs a couple characters who missed this bracket, but should be stable. For example Ken. That way we get a read on Dark Link, and this contest is unaffected. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Most
of the posts in my topic seem to support Chester/Tanner/Jay Solano.
That match is in the running for less than 20000 votes in a day match. To put that into perspective, we had 3 non-contest day polls earlier this year that all broke 20000 votes: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/5092 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/5113 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/5115 Poll 5092 - 24545 votes in a poll that started at 1:42 PM EST and ran for 10 hours, 18 minutes. The poll was put up during the middle of a Microsoft presentation of the Xbox One. Poll 5113 - 20489 votes in a poll that started at 2:06 PM EST, right after Microsoft's E3 presentation ended. Poll 5115 - 21811 votes in a poll that started at 10:46 AM EST, right after Nintendo's E3 "Nintendo Direct" presentation. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
So
much for the badass decline theory, now that Pokemon Trainers have
proven their strength, Auron certainly didn't look that bad against
Ocelot. --- Zinsanity of the Helix Board |

Hmm,
this new more detailed geolocation should be a powerful tool to figure
out stuffing. Unfortunately, I just checked Crono/Missingno, and the
more detailed results are not present (i.e., each of the UK regions is
just listed with the same percentage as the whole UK). --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
ZinsanityCraze posted... So much for the badass decline theory, now that Pokemon Trainers have proven their strength, Auron certainly didn't look that bad against Ocelot. People are really desperate with their damage control for that Auron match. It'll be apparent soon enough that he isn't the force he once was. --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |

Unfortunately, I just checked Crono/Missingno, and the more detailed results are not present (i.e., each of the UK regions is just listed with the same percentage as the whole UK). Actually, each region in England shows the same percentage because it is showing the results for England as a whole. Those polls happened during a time when Bacon's Geolocation software tracked England as a whole. Starting with Poll 4961, Bacon's Geolocation software no longer tracks England as a whole because of an update to his software. When I asked Bacon to update every poll before Poll 4961 to show the actual percentages for each of England's regions, he told me it would take too much effort to fix this. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

Let's face it, most Highly-Ranked threats succumb to a decline once demo shifts kick in. I'm stabbing in the dark here. --- The Artist Commonly Known as The Hardcore Kid |
I
don't know why people thought Sissel had a chance at doing anything
other than finishing dead last here. I guess people don't realize how
few people actually played Ghost Trick. It's seriously got to
have one of the lowest playrates on this site. Maybe only Chester would
be worse among contest entrants in terms of how few people have played
his game. I mean, we already saw what Ghost Trick's natural strength was before the contest even began! http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/5141 With no picture whatsoever, Missile couldn't even manage 1000 votes against THIS competition! He almost got doubled by Fawful! --- Guess who I am! http://gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs3/1345748_o.gif |

I'm really wondering just how much of Missile's strength came from people thinking he was the Phoenix Wright dog. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
creativename posted... I'm really wondering just how much of Missile's strength came from people thinking he was the Phoenix Wright dog. Is the Ace Attorney series really that popular on GameFAQs? Edgeworth is high-fodder at best and the Phoenix Wright games have never really done that well in the games contests. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
Also,
the Wario match will go down as "The match nobody remembers" because
not only did it follow an all-time classic that was riddled with
controversy, it featured three characters most people don't know or care
about. There was practically no discussion about this match at all
since everyone was still wrapped up with Tidus/Missingno. Plus, it was a
boring match that was over in the first minute anyway. --- http://i.imgur.com/fe05x.png http://i.imgur.com/stNJf.png |
You mean he wasn't the Phoenix Wright dog!? --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

Edgeworth is high-fodder at best and the Phoenix Wright games have never really done that well in the games contests. I find it hard to believe Missile in Phoenix Wright eating Larry Butz's hot dogs in a throwaway scene is a big enough moment to beat Kerrigan, especially when Missile is actually only seen through a photograph in the Court Record. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
I
didn't even choose to see that scene(just went for the metal detector)
and I still remembered Missile. When I saw Missile was in the contest I
was like "that dog in Phoenix Wright, what" --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
You know what, I have an idea that would test this theory. 2014 Character Battle: Sarah Kerrigan vs. Polly the Parrot. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
Red destroys his competition, but you can't help but think that's because Corvo and Sissel are just that bad. Corvo at least does his job by easily beating the character from Ghost Trick. Red looking good going into round two. Round 1, Match 71 (7) Pit (12) Urdnot Wrex (21) Cecil Harvey Minor Square vs. minor Mass Effect vs. minor Nintendo makes for a debatable match. Pit is like many other characters that draw their strength primarily from Smash, in that their true strength has always been obscured by SFF. Though even being as generous as possible, he would still have been thrashed by Ryu Hayabusa based on his 2008 performance. Since then he's had Kid Icarus 3DS, which is largely why he's back. He has a pretty big range, but I think only the very tip of it would leave him with favourable odds of winning through here. Cecil used to be worthless, but has been part of the Old Square renaissance that's continued into this contest. He came close to pulling off what would surely have been one of the least expected results ever against Knuckles, and would probably have done so if he'd drawn a night match. Knuckles went on to get 32% against Sonic directly, which suggests Cecil's worth at least as much and probably more since it's hard to imagine there wasn't significant SFF there. Those numbers would put him a little below the likes of Vivi or Rikku, and probably ahead of Donkey Kong. I feel like it's asking a lot of Pit to get to that level. Urdnot Wrex is the wildcard here. He's expected to be substantially weaker than Garrus, who held up well against Sub-Zero, and should probably fold to a respectable third for a minor character from a recent western series in a poll against both Square and Nintendo. From what I can tell he wasn't a member of Shepard's team in ME2, by far the strongest of the games, and that makes me worried about his chances. If one of his opponents completely flops he might sneak second, but that's about all I can see. So, give me Cecil narrowly over Pit, with Wrex a distant third. Bracket: Cecil Expert: Cecil > Pit > Wrex Oracle: Cecil - 41%; Pit - 36%; Wrex - 23% --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
I
had completely forgot Lara/Slime/Yuri H even happened until someone
brought it up. Some of these R1 polls were fun fodderfests
(Tina/Tharja/Juliet, Neku/Vaas/Catherine) but some of them were pretty
worthless. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
I would like to forget that it took the final update for Yuri Hyuga to get 10% against Lara Croft and Slime. If you love Yuri, never nominate him again. That's just sad. --- http://gifsoup.com/view4/2077316/thane-dance-o.gif http://gifsoup.com/view1/1334641/pop-that-collar-o.gif |

It was overshadowed. Sometimes its best to fly under the radar.

And on a similar note, it's going to be sad to see Wrex out of the match within the first minute. In a just world, he would win. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
I'm still holding out for a surprise Wrex first place, thank you! --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Wrex sticks out like a sore thumb in this match against an angel and a paladin as well. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
Cecil can still be a complete and utter failure. I don't trust him! --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
