Well
I wasn't saying "primarily ME1" to mean like... "people like ME1 and
dislike/haven't played the others" as much as "people who like the
series and thought ME1 was good" Like I think as long as there's overlap between the latter and the whole series, Wrex should be pretty respectable. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
Karma Hunter posted... kinsho3 posted...I'm truly baffled how you guys can extrapolate Niko's strength from Vercetti's. Vercetti hasn't been relevant in ages. At least Niko was relevant in the last generation. Using Vercetti to prove that Grand Theft Auto as a whole has fallen off a cliff is almost as silly as using Vincent to prove that Final Fantasy as a whole has fallen off a cliff. Vice City is an older game that has receded within the depths of our collective memory around here. Grand Theft Auto IV is aging, but at least it was still relevant in the past half-decade. --- Drop it to the floor... |
ZFS posted... HaRRicH posted...ME1 and Shepard weren't worth very much here until ME2 came; we saw it range from being thrashed by Halo 3 and losing to Sandbag to hanging close to Portal and not bring embarrassed by Pikachu. That was before ME1 had a PS3 release too, I think. It's possible that number has gone up a bit since then. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

What do you think GameFAQs cares about series being relevant???? --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Also, how strong are people expecting Wrex to actually be? And where does that put Pit compared to his other appearances? --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Forgot to ask Did we lose the last zero bracket? |
Pre-match, I would've expected him to be a step above Mordin. Post-match I don't even know. That result was Garrus-level. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Pit's
only other appearance was an SFF massacre in 2008. no good value to use
for him. Cecil is the one you have to judge by; i'd say he's about
Ridley level maybe? --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
Meh, we'll see. Epona being around Sub Zero's level sounds about right to me. Bow down to the horse before it's too late, people. --- Drop it to the floor... |
People
actually remember Vice City with fondness, which is more than I can say
about Niko and GTAIV. I'd take Vercetti easily in a battle of GTA
protagonists. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
We
don't have a good read on Pit because fanbase splits, but we know
pre-Uprising he was a little above King Dedede - not too good. Cecil is a
bit lower than Knuckles, but it's hard to know where he stands given we
haven't had a good read on him in a lonnnnng while. My instinct? Wrex is in that Alucard/Falcon low-middle tier. Obviously he could still surprise as we don't have any good reads, and next round will give cause for reevaluation. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
kinsho3 posted... Meh, we'll see. Epona being around Sub Zero's level sounds about right to me. Holy crap what is it with people and disrespecting Sub-Zero How many upsets does he have to score --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Cecil is around Knuckle's level. Knuckles seems like he's on the bridge between low midcarder status and midcarder status. --- Drop it to the floor... |
Weird Magikarp spike there. Only 15 votes away from a tied update. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I love Epona, but she is not Sub-Zero level. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Yeah,
I just noticed Pit got pretty screwed in his other matches, but I guess
being equal to DeDeDe is special. I'm just interested, because I don't
think the percentage between Wrex and Pit was that big (56%-ish?) and
we're apparently kinda high on him right now, so I'm wondering how much
Pit improved. Guess that's pretty impossible to tell. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Wrex being on the second tier of characters from this gen wouldn't surprise me So basically somewhere between Altair and Nathan Drake seems about right. I don't know how fraudulent that makes Cecil's match with Knuckles look but yeah. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
From: Lopen | Posted: 8/14/2013 2:33:22 AM | #467 Wrex being on the second tier of characters from this gen wouldn't surprise me i wouldn't say it does at all. i'd take Altair over Knuckles i think. --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
Knuckles losing to Altair seems kinda weird to me but it's an upset worth considering at least. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
I
think my sense of how 'good' many of these characters are is way off if
we've been talking about Wrex amounting to nothing more than a little
above Pac-Man --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
I'd put him a touch above Altair myself, but nothing too crazy. Maybe Vivi level? At any rate he should be solidly below Red but between fanbase splitting and the fact that he will stand out SO MUCH... yeah. One of my most anticipated R2 matches for sure now is Wario/Red/Wrex. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
_SecretSquirrel posted... People actually remember Vice City with fondness, which is more than I can say about Niko and GTAIV. I'd take Vercetti easily in a battle of GTA protagonists. Possibly. We don't know for sure. Vercetti hasn't been in a contest for 6-7 years prior to this contest. Not sure who I'd take, but I'd lean towards Niko. GameFAQs isn't too kind toward characters that age beyond a certain point (see Sephiroth and Crono). I don't think a very 'casual' game like Vice City would stay too long in the good graces of the site's demographics, though I could be wrong. --- Drop it to the floor... |
ZFS posted... I think my sense of how 'good' many of these characters are is way off if we've been talking about Wrex amounting to nothing more than a little above Pac-Man There's really no way to tell yet... we don't have reads on almost everyone that's been involved so far. Wrex could have been dealing with a threepack of near fodder, low midcards, or even solid midcards (which would be CRAZY but hey I'm not ruling anything out). The only thing I'm sure of is that he destroys Mordin <_< --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Karma Hunter posted... kinsho3 posted...Meh, we'll see. Epona being around Sub Zero's level sounds about right to me. Hey, Sub-Zero should be proud! He's as strong as Epona! --- Drop it to the floor... |
kinsho3 posted... _SecretSquirrel posted...People actually remember Vice City with fondness, which is more than I can say about Niko and GTAIV. I'd take Vercetti easily in a battle of GTA protagonists. I'd side with you, but I think GTA4 has already faded too. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
creativename posted... People are massively overrating what Smash meant for Samus. She was one of the most popular characters of the 8-bit era. And Super Metroid was legendary in the 16-bit era. From what I heard, Super Metroid wasn't all that big in its own time and only became a big deal later on. For all you know, without SSB the Metroid series would never have been resurrected. She probably also gets a good deal of strength from being "the first lady of gaming" and voters thus respecting her as such. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Niko and Vercetti are probably about the same. That also, by the way, puts Epona a little above Crash Bandicoot. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Doesn't
it also put Jill Valentine and Sub-Zero a little below Crash Bandicoot?
Which puts Garrus a little below Crash Bandicoot? Which means Mordin >> Garrus? --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/gdl8lcn.jpg |
Knuckles's strength always screws me up Looking at the last year's stats he scored pretty low and really was just above Altair, which was about where I would've guessed he was in past years, at around 25% on BL. If I'd known stats put him around there I would've probably humored Wrex harder. (even though I realize the stats were speculative that year due to SFF) Yet several years ago when he beat Magus he was around 29% on BL, and the only reason I didn't humor that is because I thought Knuckles was weaker than that. So yeah. Screw you Knuckles. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
If you think Niko 2010 = Niko 2013, yes. If you think Niko 2010 = Niko 2013, then uuuuh --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Oh btw glad we're still talking about Mass Effect because the "badass" Wrex is LITERALLY STERILE BECAUSE OF MORDIN good game yaaaaaaa'll it only took me 12 hours but I finally remembered that CRUSHER --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif |
ChenKenichiFan posted... Doesn't it also put Jill Valentine and Sub-Zero a little below Crash Bandicoot? Which puts Garrus a little below Crash Bandicoot? Uh... if you wanna assume a constant Niko and Vercetti, be my guest. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
ChenKenichiFan posted... Oh btw glad we're still talking about Mass Effect because the "badass" Wrex is Not sterile, actually, genophage drastically reduces birth rate but doesn't eliminate it. Given krogan rates of reproduction it's possible Wrex could have propagated even pre-ME3. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
omg
Mass Effect fans. This f***ing series has warped us back into 2003
GameFAQs where everything is an argument. I had more fun ensuring
everyone that Squirtle was gonna beat Dante up. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/gdl8lcn.jpg |
I ****ing loved 2003 GameFAQs I got Kefka to the finals people who's with me --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Kefka doesn't stand a chance against Magus the Link killer --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
2003, the year where people believed Magus and Luigi could beat Link. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
Kefka to the finals is sounding better now that it ever has before! All he has to do is get a laughing sprite to destroy Snake in Round 3 and then RSFF Cloud like he did Zack. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Makes sense, Cloud is just a blonde-haired Zack --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

creativename posted... KanzarisKelshen posted...Melodrama? Please, creativename. I'm not fabricating anything here. Why would I fake getting worked up over something like this? That'd be beyond sad. If I posted about this it's because I felt legitimately disgruntled, not because of wanting to stir other people up or something. Never mind that Epona appears in other Zelda games too. She isn't a whole lot less associable with the Zelda series than Ganondorf and Zelda are, and her numbers against Niko were around what Zelda and Ganondorf are projected to get (not that I would take Epona to be around the same strength level as those two - it's very possible that GTA just fell off a cliff. Or fell off ANOTHER cliff). --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
And there it is, Magikarp has gotten his first cut on Mega Man. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I'd
take Vercetti over Niko, but mostly because Vercetti was stronger than
CJ in CJ's one contest and because Vice City is more well-liked than 4
around here. That puts Epona around the same level as Crash Bandicoot, which makes sense. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
So I woke up and vote for the Karp.I didn't expected him to do so good.If he wasn't against a 1 seed he would win for sure. 1)48 people of the top 50 got the previous match wrong.First time I see such massacre. 2)Man the last 0 bracket failed.And in this division it is easy to see the last place character in each match.Oh well maybe next time. --- GameFaqs is NOT the place to go for relationship advice.Nobody here gets any action unless it is their right or left hand.Including me.~Dawn and Dusk~ |
creativename posted... Does anyone in the BOP or Guru have Wrex to round 3? Oh, me! Me! I do! Because I forgot to switch to Cecil before lockdown. Could be quite fortuitous! --- http://i.imgur.com/kCpvD.gif |
But yeah, looks like I'm late to the party and missed all the good discussion. Oh well! --- http://i.imgur.com/CbfFb.jpg |
Also,
I don't expect Epona to hold up well next round at all. Board 8 holds a
lot of nostalgic views that gamers in general don't, and I think they
expect the rest of the site to have the same nostalgia. Epona's just a
horse to most people, I'd wager. Then again, I don't have nostalgia for either Zelda or Pokemon, so what do I know? Still holding out hope for Ike to round 3 paying off...! --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonpngpe.png http://img.imgcake.com/squalloweenpngem.png |
