It'd be great for my bracket since I have Wrex winning two rounds because I forgot to switch to Cecil before bracket lockdown! --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |

creativename posted... I'm really wondering just how much of Missile's strength came from people thinking he was the Phoenix Wright dog. A lot, probably PW fans really remember the smallest details Go adk any person who is Shoe and they will know Even then though,they can mistake how Missile from PW looks like (hint:nothing like Missile from GT) And good performance from Red Still not enough to change back to Mewtwo>Vincent Im so much disappointed with Missingno |

Polly will win because of the "cross examination" factor Shoe will get second place because of the "best case in the series" factor but I can see Missile pulling and upset because of the "dogs are better than cats" factor |
Nanis23 posted... Polly will win because of the "cross examination" factor Actually, you'd be surprised at the number of poxy Cat people on this board. More than you think. --- The Artist Commonly Known as The Hardcore Kid |
Clearly the cat representative should be Alfador from Chrono Trigger. He's Magus's purple cat and also the entity. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
Also, next match is one of those rare ones where I actually like all the characters involved. Still gotta give Cecil a long-overdue win though so he can pull the upset on Red and beat Squall! --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
Steamroll is a steamroll. I can't help but notice Red hit the 70% marker in this battle. Does he always fair this well or is it just the competition is so weak? --- @w@ Gamertag: SliceSabre |

Match LXXII: (7) Pit vs. (12) Urdnot Wrex vs. (21) Cecil Harvey Previous Contest Pit – 2008 14.62% against Ryu Hayabusa, Zero and King Dedede Urdnot Wrex – N/A N/A Cecil Harvey – 2010 48.00% against Knuckles the Echidna Analysis The board seems to be switching towards Cecil as the favourite. The main reason why I went with Cecil is I felt the Dissidia boost would be long term and that he would have enough strength to deal with a boosted Pit. I am not sure if you can still call it a Dissidia boost anymore, but Old Square in general have looked amazing, including Rydia who held her own in the face of Alucard/Falcon. As long as Cecil stays at least constant with is 2010 self then I feel confident that he will take first. This will be the first time we get to see Pit without another Nintendo character in the poll, plus he has had his first game in over 20 years. I am surprised Pit did not get much strength from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, he is a fan favourite within the game and while I did not expect him to rise to Marth/Falcon’s level you would expect him to have some strength. While it is unfair to rate his strength when another Nintendo character was in the poll going even with King Dedede is not the best way to showcase your strength. How much Pit boosts from his new game will likely be the factor on whether he can win this match. Both Palutena and Hades did not look great in that match, but it is easily expected that Pit will get more from the game than those two characters. The game being only on the 3DS is a bit concerning, the only comparison is Chrom and he was shown to be high fodder against The Boss, though Chrom may suffer from ensemble cast syndrome and may not represent the maximum a character can get on the 3DS. Like the other secondary Mass Effect characters I do not expect much out of Wrex. I personally would not take Garrus to win this match and all Mordin, who I feel is weaker than Wrex did was convince me that Wrex will have a decent showing, but not threaten to win the match. Pit, recovering from LFF and a new game could win this match, but I feel Cecil and Old Square will be too strong. Wrex should come in last unless Pit really flops which I do not see happening. This will be Cecil’s fourth contest and it looks like he will finally be getting his first win. charmander6000’s Bracket: Cecil Harvey > Pit and Urdnot Wrex charmander6000’s Prediction: Cecil Harvey – 40.63%, Pit – 34.75%, Urdnot Wrex – 24.62% --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 57/70 Today's Picks: Red and Cecil |
This
should be a good one. I have Pit in my bracket, but I have to favour
Cecil based on everything we've seen. Think it will be close either way
though. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
I
just saw this match for the first time... Wow, Red. Is he legit noble
nine strength now? I wouldn't expect Corvo to be complete turbo fodder
after all. --- http://i.minus.com/jbiGPMGVHJkJ5F.png http://i.minus.com/izwksxAebi10o.gif http://i.minus.com/jDswy1q7MCAye.jpg http://i.minus.com/jX6dhkFSD8ugm.jpg |

why wouldn't Corvo
be complete turbo fodder? if guys from massive games like Bioshock and
Skyrim are weak, a dude from a game like Dishonored can't be worth a
damn. And lol the other guy, really who the hell is he. --- ... |
LeonhartFour posted... I would like to forget that it took the final update for Yuri Hyuga to get 10% against Lara Croft and Slime. Except he didn't even do that. It's just favorable rounding; his actual percentage was like 9.998% --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
I
picked Pit because he has been consistently stuck under Nintendo so now
that he has no other Nintendo characters to worry about AND his first
game in over 20 years...but no, everything points to a Cecil win. Smash
characters have consistently crapped the bed, as Marth didn't even put
up a fight against Phoenix Wright, Captain Falcon allowed Alucard
to knock him out in the 11th hour, Fox got owned by a freaking Pokemon
Trainer (I know that's not necessarily a bad thing in terms of contest
strength, but still), and the only winner in this situation was Mr. Game
& Watch, who was held under 52% by a Generic McDude from a 2012
game. Speaking of which, 2012 (and 2013) games have largely proven to
be worthless in terms of helping their characters' popularity, so that's
another strike against Pit. Oh, and then old Square has been
consistently doing well, so strike 3. Pit's out. Pit's one hope lies in Cecil having the least casual appeal out of everyone in the match, and arguably out of all the old Square characters we've seen this contest (save maybe Locke I guess). Not a good thing to rely on. Stuck in the Winless Pit! - 40% Not Tyrannosaurus Wrex - 25% Winning a Match is His Final Fantasy, and this is His Fourth One So He Scores! - 45% --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
I
don't think Captain Falcon or Marth disappointed at all, certainly
wouldn't them as an example of Smash Bros "crapping the bed" this
contest. Falcon wasn't even favoured to win his match and he almost did. --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic fanboyism |
Either
way though, all of them other than Mr. Game & Watch lost already,
and Mr. Game & Watch struggled against precisely the kind of
character that has been the most consistent disappointment all contest. ...would you guys pick Wolf or Ridley to win that match if they were in Game & Watch's place? --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Then00bAvenger posted... You mean he wasn't the Phoenix Wright dog!? Can't tell if you're joking or not, but a lot of people had this exact reaction the day of the match. I mean people say the dogs look different, but it's a dog and it's named Missile. Pics can vary and how many people are seriously thinking there's two dogs named Missile? If so many people in this topic the day of the match were surprised that the dog wasn't from PW, I would think the casual front page voters would be even more confused. FateStayAlbion posted... I just saw this match for the first time... Wow, Red. Is he legit noble nine strength now? I wouldn't expect Corvo to be complete turbo fodder after all. I pegged Red at 68.50% and Corvo at 16.50% for my Oracle. I think most had around those same numbers too, people just had Sissel at Corvo's level. So Corvo is actually doing better relative to Red than most expected. This result tells us nothing about Red one way or the other. We have no idea how pitiful Corvo is - and he's definitely some level of pitiful. I see no reason why he'd be anything but turbofodder, and Sissel is barely worth mentioning. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
LinkMarioSamus posted... Stuck in the Winless Pit! - 40% Lrn2Math --- NGirl@work or on phone. |
Pit
needs an Uprising boost and a Cecil drop. There's no two ways about it.
Those aren't impossible, but Pit went 50/50 with KING DEDEDE (what), so
the fact that those two were splitting the Nintendo fanbase are
meaningless. Cecil is virtually equal to Knuckles in a 24 hour match,
and 48% on him in a day match (which is the more salient factor today). King Dedede can't hang with Knuckles. Something has to change. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Oh
and uh if Wrex = Garrus (unlikely... I think?), he can actually win
this depending on where Knuckles is today. We don't have a good read on
the echidna. Still think he probably comes in last, a shame. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Wrex
from what I've seen while liked seems a bit more mixed in terms of
reception compared to Garrus who to me seems like easily the strongest
ME squadmate I still think Tali would be 2nd strongest and im still surprised she didn't get --- Want any VNs pre-patched? PM me. List of VNs can be found by clicking on my username. |
Garrus
is the safe bet for #1. But the safe bet for #2 is *not* Tali, and
she's my favorite squadmate. She's a niche fan favorite, ridiculously
loved by some and dismissed by most. #2 is either Wrex or Liara, no
doubt. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
creativename posted... Then00bAvenger posted...You mean he wasn't the Phoenix Wright dog!? They are two different Missiles. Shu Takumi's dog is named that, so he honors him in his games, but they're not the same character. One's a Shiba Inu and one is a Pomeranian (the real Missile is a Pomeranian too). |
I
think Wrex is well-liked but not as prominent as the other party
members. He's the only party member in the first game to never join back
in 2 or 3, and there's chances you never see him after the first game depending on choices,
so I don't think he will be anywhere near as strong as Garrus, who is
essentially Shepard's right hand man through all three games. --- Green is not a creative color http://themanicdepressives.wordpress.com/ |
KanzarisKelshen posted... creativename posted...Then00bAvenger posted...You mean he wasn't the Phoenix Wright dog!? Is the Pomeranian the one from Ghost Trick? --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
Yeah, the fact that you never see Wrex if you don't have an ME1 file and saved him
is what hurts him the most. Otherwise he's an easy #2 over Liara, and
probably extremely close to Garrus despite being only playable in the
first game. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
BLEH! *jumps out with a severely sharpened cutlass* Damn, no EXTHA on ngirl. --- The Artist Commonly Known as The Hardcore Kid |
Yes, the Missile we saw is Top Pomeranian, y'know. Going to ME squadmate chat, I found this pretty interesting when I came across it when doing research on ME squaddies: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtR6EP8I1q9adDZhYW9jZGRZVUNFRnVWWWoyOHlUR3c&hl=en#gid=0 How well do you think this transfers to GameFAQS? |
nintendogirl2 posted... LinkMarioSamus posted...Stuck in the Winless Pit! - 40% Yeah somehow I thought that 40 + 40 + 30 = 100. Uh, redo: Pit - 35% Wrex - 25% Cecil - 40% --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Uh,
if you want statistics that are most worthwhile, right here for ME3
should be pretty illuminating on the subject of Wrex (IMPLIED SPOILERS): http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18ie6sg7gatq8jpg/ku-xlarge.jpg --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Karma Hunter posted... Uh, if you want statistics that are most worthwhile, right here for ME3 should be pretty illuminating on the subject of Wrex (IMPLIED SPOILERS): Those statistics seem way less reliable to me, though. Who here takes Liara to be equal or better than Garrus? The answer's nobody. Same with Vega being any good - those statistics are not weighted in any way. |
KanzarisKelshen posted... Karma Hunter posted...Uh, if you want statistics that are most worthwhile, right here for ME3 should be pretty illuminating on the subject of Wrex (IMPLIED SPOILERS): These are the statistics compiled from all of ME3 by Bioware themselves. Survival rate doesn't matter really for Vega or Liara because they're not squadmates in ME2 Lair of the Shadow Broker aside - it's a gauge of how many ME2ers got Garrus and Tali to survive, etc. Vega is actually popular among the dudebro crowd, but you can reduce their influence by like a factor of a thousand for a site like GameFAQs. It doesn't account for people that only played ME1 or ME2, but it's illuminating nevertheless. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
So I changed to Cecil > Pit > Wrex So much self-hatred going on right now........ --- Drop it to the floor... |
I
have Cecil in my expert and Wrex in my main. I still think Wrex has an
outside shot at winning this. It's a shame that Mass Effect characters
haven't done so well. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak |
Uh,
Shepard is favored over Aeris and Garrus looks to be on Tidus's level
based on his proportion to Sub-Zero. Yeah, Mordin did bad, but that's
because Mordin is just super duper weak. You might as well hang Zelda
for Groose bombing to hell. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
I figure Mordin is a good bet for #2. The fact that he didn't appear in the original game is practically irrelevant. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/gdl8lcn.jpg |
I'm
not really convinced for any character in this coming match...should be
good. I understood Wrex would be closer to Garrus than Mordin before
the brackets locked down -- is this not the case? The ME-games won't
run well on my computer, so I can't tell from playing them myself. Rabble..... --- T H E S T A B L E - bring on Epona! http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |
