Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1110

#151 | ChenKenichiFan | Posted 8/14/2013 9:24:11 AM | message detail
My favorite match of the contest will be Jill destroying this chump and getting payback for 2008.

Jill is a legend. She is timeless. Millions of years after Kratos is eradicated and forgotten, Jill will endure. Kratos is a flash in the pan, artificially propped up by millions of Sony advertising dollars.

F*** you Kratos. Valentine fans NEVER forget.

Kratos will end up doing alright relative to Travis so I'm not worried about Charizard just yet.

I'm pretty sure Kratos was being fueled by an enormous GoWIII ad campaign during the Charizard match. He had a 7-11 Slurpee flavor for god's sake.

So how many PC exclusive characters are stronger than Recette if she holds this and Kratos hasn't dropped? There can't be too many.

I agree this shouldn't necessarily make you worried about Charizard (because Kratos has taken a nosedive), but I wouldn't even look at Travis anymore - if anything, he's getting LPF'd. This percentage on Recette is just... what

ANIME GIRL #4 IS NOT A MIDCARDER OR IS SHE WHAT IS RECETTEAR

I don't see how this affects Charizard at all. Pokemon has still been amazing in the contest matches they've been in so far.

and Recette's game is amazing, go buy it on Steam or something


The issue is, most Pokémon reps have had matches tailor-made for them to look good. (Case in point, Mewtwo)

Mega Man's performance against Magikarp (****ing Magikarp) makes me feel even more foolish for picking him over Charizard. If Zero wasn't there I'd feel better, but I've already underestimated LFF once in this contest and I'm sure it will happen again since Zero >>>>> Wolf.

if you think Mewtwo/Zero (999)/Chester is unfair to Mewtwo because it was a night match I think we might have to do a reevaluation of your PokeFEVER

I'm simply questioning this idea that the Pokemon characters have had matches tailor made to make em look like all-stars. Pokemon should be stronger in the day and the only one I can recall getting a day match is Blue, and it didn't matter for him since he was up against Smash. I don't see what was so beneficial about Squirtle and Pikachu's opponents, for example.

They're getting put up against absolute cupcakes. The two who haven't were Missingno (it is impossible to overstate how bad this match is) and Magikarp (very good, but hard to gauge).

It's not really about sales though, is it? I mean, if we want to talk sales, No More Heroes sold over a half million copies. We've seen over and over again that sales =\= contest strength.

Wish I took Recette here. Being on/near the leaderboard has made me boring and conservative. I'm afraid to go outside the box now!

Which has probably been for the better, but some matches it just feels bad.

LMFAO this division is awesome. Recette's obviously being rallied hard, but she also has to be benefitting from the match pic. She looks hilariously adorable next to those two.

Also, I'm surprised people are worrying about Mega Man based on the Karp match. If anything, MM looked like a champ there.

Yeah, I personally don't think Recette was a crazy pick here. Travis isn't exactly a high bar to beat! I mean I never would have thought she'd be doing anywhere near this good, but this was always a kinda debatable match for me!

If Magikarp's contest debut strength was anything like Missingno's (certainly a possibility pre-match), Mega Man slapping him down like that was nothing short of spectacular. Remember that Sephiroth couldn't even score 53% on the glitch.

It's a 243 character bracket. The only guys who have actually looked good against tough competition are some old Square folk (and there again, just 3/4 FFVI guys). There's not that much tough competition to go around. If we criticize Pokemon's competition, we've gotta do the same thing to nearly everyone else.

I just have a hard time imagining Karp is that far off from peak Missingno. Especially since he slaughtered Geno.

The difference for Karp is that he's up against possibly the most joke-proof character in the bracket. Nobody wants to see Mega Man lose early. Nobody.

I haven't followed the match closely so I don't know if there were heavy rallies for Magikarp or not.

I'm not buying Magikarp being legit stronger against MM than Puff was on MMX.

I don't think there's much to gauge from that match, nor does it make MM look bad or good.
