I don't think Cecil could have beaten Red with Wario in the poll, but Wrex...I don't know. Wrex just stands out so much from the Nintendo characters. Almost all characters have some level of LFF between them (with exceptions like L-Block 2007, the most LFF-free entity we've ever seen). However I can't see Wrex having much LFF with Red and Wario at all. So Wrex might have a decent shot at pulling off what would have been one of the biggest pre-contest upsets. Does anyone in the BOP or Guru have Wrex to round 3? Team Rocket Elite posted... Well, I guess the fact we supported Missingno. in our brackets by such a large margin is also the reason Missingno. didn't lose. Hmm, I hadn't thought of this. You're right, Missingno could have lost without the surge of bracket votes. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Once
again proving that if you think a match is going to go 50/50 (not just
an upset pick), always go with the board if they're heavily favored!

creativename posted... I don't think Cecil could have beaten Red with Wario in the poll, but Wrex...I don't know. Wrex just stands out so much from the Nintendo characters. To be honest, Wrex stands out quite a bit in this match as well. Two old school characters that have been revitalized by recent appearances in franchise fighting games. And they are both light-oriented characters, as one's an angel and one's a paladin. Granted, that's not quite the level of overlap that Red and Wario would have, but I think it is worth mentioning when you've got something really close to a 30-30-30 split. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service!

Mass
Effect is going to stand out in most matches on this site that aren't
against, like, Darth Revan or something. It's one of those rare
franchises that has strength with practically zero Nintendo/Square
connection. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Well,
if Mass Effect can overperform by being the third party in a Nintendo
vs. Square match, then that's another nail in Aries's coffin next round. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
_SecretSquirrel posted... Well, if Mass Effect can overperform by being the third party in a Nintendo vs. Square match, then that's another nail in Aries's coffin next round. yeah this Aries is scr- wait what (I'll assume you meant Aeris.....but Tharja isn't really gonna do anything) |
A better (if non ME) example would be Dante/Squirtle/Zidane anyway >_> --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
No, Shepard is going to be facing Austin Aries, the greatest man that ever lived next round. That's what I meant. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |

Snake's
partially SSB, that's no good for that theory! You'd need someone
independent instead of Snake to make the semis, like Altair. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

Damn, Wrex ended up going on a f***ing rampage. He has to be one of the overall stars of this round. Kind of weird how the only ME character that looked a little wonky this round was... Shepard. I know some may make a case for Mordin too, but I just think Epona's been underestimated by many. Can't WAIT to see how Magikarp does, this is the match I've been waiting for. I've wanted to see him in these contests for years. --- ARCHER SEASON 4/THURSDAYS/FX/10:00 PM Listed above: everything you need to know about 2013. |
come on magikarp make this fun --- Leafs / Raptors / Blue Jays / TFC / Argos / Tottenham We'll get 'em next year. |
Shepard's
FemShep pic probably hurt him/her a touch. He should easily have a
MaleShep picture if the picsmith rumblings are to be believed, and as
long as he can beat Aeris he'll have more than proved himself. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Ah, didn't realize he had a FemShep pic. That had to have been Ulti, right? :P Not that I'm complaining, it's great to see Olimar do better than expected. One of the best-kept secrets of gaming: Olimar is one of Nintendo's best characters. --- ARCHER SEASON 4/THURSDAYS/FX/10:00 PM Listed above: everything you need to know about 2013. |
Haha...so
it never changed. Should've stuck with my initial instincts, but I have
no one to blame but myself--I was absolutely convinced that it had been
a stupid pick and that I was right to change it before the bracket
locked. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... Wait, people are still marking FF7 spoilers? In 2013? Yes, you still need to mark them. --- Pokemon VGC2013 US National - 39th place Pokemon VGC2013 Worlds LCQ - Top 32 |
Not to derail this topic, but... R.I.P. Kazbar? WHAT? God damn it, he was awesome. :( What happened?!? --- ARCHER SEASON 4/THURSDAYS/FX/10:00 PM Listed above: everything you need to know about 2013. |
creativename posted... Does anyone in the BOP or Guru have Wrex to round 3? *raises hand* I should have gambled on Wrex in my Expert-picks, too...all I did for this match was take Pit for last, but at least I get a point. Good show by Wrex though! This is encouraging for the ME-characters to get their first impressive win; Shepard couldn't double Captain Olimar with a FemShep-pic, Garrus impressed against Sub-Zero but still lost, and Mordin was hoofed to death by HorseFAQs (move over, DogFAQs). I skimmed to catch up, so forgive me if I missed the meat of this discussion: ME-fans, how do you expect Wrex and Mordin to compare? --- T H E S T A B L E - bring on Epona! http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |
Speaking
of FFVII spoilers, does anyone else feel that, back in the day,
Seph/Aeris could have been a massive rSFF situation? I'm talking the
biggest potential rSFF in contest history. I mean, no one was touching
Clinkeroth in 2003-6, but I think 1v1 Aeris could have pulled in a
shockingly good number on Sephy. I mean, how could someone vote against Aeris for the person who literally murdered her in cold blood? I think a lot of people could have felt terrible voting for Sephiroth over her and just voted for her, even if he destroys her indirectly. |

This site is edgy enough even back then to actually have Sephiroth 85-15 Aeris to have it reflect the plot. Kingdom Hearts and the whole DARKNESS bs drawing in the emo crowd also helps. |
Argh this match. Thought of putting Wrex over Pit pre-match but figured it was one of my classic stupid decisions that costs me points, so I didn't. Only would have saved me 2 though because no way I'd have taken Wrex > Cecil too. I'd be happy that my bracket has this (and Wrex into R3 so I can still probably blow it) but my bracket is dead anyway! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?

I'll be shocked if he escapes the doubling. --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
Frankly, there will be blood if Magikarp wins tonight. Mega Man's a ***damn icon. No need for him to lose to a joke fish. --- Drop it to the floor... |
Team Rocket Elite posted... BlAcK TuRtLe posted...Wait, people are still marking FF7 spoilers? In 2013? That just seems kind of silly to me. There has to be a moratorium on a certain point where spoilers are so old and so well known that they shouldn't apply. And don't get me started on the internet fascination with attempting to protect everything and everyone from spoilers. The worst is on Dota forums where people get mad for discussing match results without marking spoilers. What other sport in the world or spots network blocks out game results to "protect" people from "spoilers"? --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
Kazbar was truly one of those dudes who never had anything bad to say about anyone. I'm genuinely upset about this. R.I.P. Turtle - Eh, that's probably not giving Karp enough credit. I expect him to maim Geno and put up around 37-38%-ish on MM. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
I wish magikarp had gotten a better bracket spot. Starting against megaman is tough. Should be an interesting match though, expecting the magical karp to do quite well. But I don't think he can beat megaman. |
General_Zimbad posted... I wish magikarp had gotten a better bracket spot. If Missingno. and Magikarp had switched spots, Karp would have been a wrecking ball. I highly doubt Tidus would have even been able to make it competitive. That's what my gut tells me, anyway. But I really don't think it's illogical or anything. Karp is definitely cut from the same cloth as Missingno in terms of nostalgia value, but frankly, Karp is probably the more recognizable/funny of the two. Plus, unlike Missingno, Karp's got the fresh-joke factor going for him. It's just a shame none of that will likely matter against Mega Man. MM is just too likable to let a joke character take advantage of him too much. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
TheCodeisBosco posted... General_Zimbad posted...I wish magikarp had gotten a better bracket spot. Yeah man, I totally agree. Magikarp would have been stronger than missingno I think. Definitely would have picked him over tidus. |
Welcome to the World of Magikarp! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT1Cvx_aFDc --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
Lets do this magikarp >_> --- nt |
I
feel like Capcom's poor treatment of MM will also help him net extra
votes from people who will vote for him in spite of Capcom. --- http://i.imgur.com/97Pxu.gif http://i.imgur.com/DOF4PCH.gif |
Magikarp going to flop --- ... |
He's gonna open with a splash then drown. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
If
the Karp fails to do anything of note this time, will it get another
chance in a future contest or will its joke be stale already? --- Harmony is peace. Peace is unity. Unity is harmony. I tell this to the King Nook. He ask me to leave. |
