i
dunno, that just seems like a weird thing to say. like, would you be
upset that Squall winning the division has to result from Tidus losing?
he already lost, and could have never beaten Squall anyway. --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |

I'm pretty upset about that, yeah! I'm always upset when Bacon sets my favorites against each other! --- http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif |
My
suspicions proved correct - the anime girl would not go down easily.
Indeed, Travis, who once got 30% on Zelda directly, loses to her. Kratos
is held below 50%, ruining my oracle after I bumped him up 3 points (I
did at least deduct them from Travis, so I doubt it changed much). He
looks he might well have fallen off in the meantime, which wouldn't be
too surprising - Uncharted seems to be Sony's big series now. Round 1, Match 75 (9) Red Bird (10) Mike Haggar (19) Jill Valentine This match was somewhat debated before the contest, but I have never thought it possible that Jill would struggle. For a start, she's pretty strong, comparable with the likes of Ocelot and capable of getting 32.5% on Samus straight up - even jokes with proven pedigree like L-Block or the WCC would probably lose to her. More importantly, I can't see the Angry Birds icon having significant appeal here - this is a site that trades on nostalgia, and isn't particularly accepting of even modern games that are popular like CoD, never mind hyper-casual stuff. Let's see, Mike Haggar... he's been in a poll before, though it wasn't a contest-related one. He lost to Samanosuke from Onimusha. Okay, going with Red Bird. Bracket: Jill Expert: Jill > Bird > Mike Oracle: Jill Valentine - 65%; Red Bird - 22%; Mike Haggar - 13% --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
--Smurf-- posted... LordoftheMorons posted...How does one guy on /v/ get so many people to go along with a rally? I thought "t3h 3p1c mUdk1pz!!!!!!!111111" was the 4chan mascot --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
Total Character Battle wins by FF game (includes 2nd place finishes in 4-ways and all the LOL side contests): FFIV 0 FFV 2 FFVI 8 FFVII 101 FFVIII 19 FFIX 9 FFX 18 FFXII 1 FFXIII 0 That's right. Squall by himself carries FFVIII to 2nd place. All hail --- http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo22vfguji1qzxr43.gif |
could Squall have beaten Sora and Riku combined actually he probably does better without Seifer there --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
If we add games contest to that, FFX takes second, right? --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
oh my god ff7 --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
The fact that X and 9 have more (or the same) as 6 is very very disheartening --- Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite? However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog |
Kotetsu534 posted... If we add games contest to that, FFX takes second, right? Yeah, all those wins it racked up from the first Games Contest and GotD (neither of which FFVIII was in) would carry X to 2nd pretty easily. Plus, it went further than FFVIII in the 2009 Games Contest anyway. --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonhjpguz.jpg |
Ah dam, this girl is breaking my chances of getting back on the expert leader board. I was only 3 points off :( |
Karma Hunter posted... oh my god ff7 In case you were wondering, Cloud and Sephiroth each have 31 wins, plus the 4 RR wins they have together. --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonhjpguz.jpg |
FFIV 0 notasteFAQs --- Fight like dragons, have no fear, swords are made of STEEEEEEEEL~ |
Oh, I forgot that FFVIII missed '04. Division by eras, huh. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
LeonhartFour posted... Karma Hunter posted...oh my god ff7 so the rest of the cast still has 35 combined (what about the Zelda series minus Link, lol) |
Kotetsu534 posted... Oh, I forgot that FFVIII missed '04. Division by eras, huh. Yep, and only one game per series per division (FFT was considered to be a separate series). I think Ceej said FFVIII actually got enough noms to earn a 3 seed, but yeah, being in the same era as FFVII boned it. --- http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/8718/leonflowchart.png |
to be fair X could tie it up with VIII this round (and if so, they should stay even next round) --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |
Xuxon posted... to be fair X could tie it up with VIII this round (and if so, they should stay even next round) Yeah, that's true. A win by Rikku ties it up, and unless Auron somehow loses next round or Squall somehow wins in round 3 or loses to Missingno, it should stay tied. The difference is that FFX got those wins from 5 different characters as opposed to 1. But to be fair, FFX characters have gotten a lot of rough draws in their day. They really should have more total wins than they have considering all five of those guys are decent midcarders or better. --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!" |
Not if Rikku can go all the way~ FF8 no chance --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Whoa,
I think anyone taking Jill in the mid-60s might be expecting a little
much. Her competition isn't absolutely laughable. Haggar has been at
least as relevant as Poison in the last few years, and she did quite
well (Poison has the more appealing design, but Haggar got the bigger
game in MvC3 and has more of an internet meme presence). I really doubt
someone like Haggar will be held to the same percentage as the Francis
York Morgans of this contest. And Red Bird, while casual through and
through, is still the fact of a franchise that's been played by a vast
majority of people on this site. The one GameFAQs poll about Angry Birds
indicates a 2/3rd playrate, and I presume it's only gone up in the
year+ since then. Angry Birds might have a higher playrate than stuff
like Halo and CoD. Her competition is actually pretty good considering
some of the fodder in this contest - hell it might easily be stronger
than the crap Kratos is up against today. If she shoots for anywhere
near 60%, I'll be ecstatic. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif |
Kotetsu534 posted... Oh, I forgot that FFVIII missed '04. Division by eras, huh. I really don't see why division by eras is needed for the games contests, to be blunt. --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
I
think Haggar is going to bomb. Poison has non-game related reasons that
Haggar doesn't to do as well as she did (and after seeing how poorly
Booker and Big Daddy did, it may not be as good as we thought at the
time anyway). --- http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/8718/leonflowchart.png |
Fayt_Esteed posted... I really don't see why division by eras is needed for the games contests, to be blunt. According to Allen, it's not fair to the older games because the newer games would crush them! Poor Mario 1 wouldn't stand a chance against the mighty Halo! --- http://i.imgur.com/CbfFb.jpg |
So 1111 parts since when exactly?Since the first contest? --- 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~ |
Yeah, Haggar is gonna be really bad. And that leaves Red Bird - if it can't hold up, all that percentage has to go somewhere. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Since the first one of these topics, which happened during the first contest, so you're pretty much right. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/NQTthNf.jpg |
Safer_777 posted... So 1111 parts since when exactly?Since the first contest? Yep, since the first contest in 2002. We didn't really start cranking through these topics at a high rate until 2005-ish though. That's around the time we started doing a topic per day during contest season (or six if you had a match like Kefka/Vercetti). --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |

I
think I'm underrating Haggar there and will jump him up a few points,
but I can totally see Red Bird being complete rubbish. Will probably go
something like 60/23/17 in the end. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
Kotetsu534 posted... Will probably go something like 60/23/17 in the end. Ha, that's my exact Oracle prediction (Don't steal it guys seriously I'm not good at the Oracle contest) --- http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/8718/leonflowchart.png |
Like
remember, Lara scored high 50s on Slime/Yuri. Haggar shouldn't be as
bad as Yuri, but I wouldn't take Red Bird > Slime easily and I
*certainly* would never consider Lara > Jill. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
ZFS posted... can't believe ? Block got in and no goomba LeonhartFour posted... Thanks for that, Luster. LeonhartFour posted... No I mean it's literally Luster's fault ? Block is in the contest. I have been trying to get ? Block into the contest since 2008. I knew ? Block would have some good strength after what it did to L-Block in that bonus match in 2007. I tried in 2008 and 2010 to get ? Block in and failed. I really do want to see Goomba in a contest, but that will have to wait until the next Character Battle. Slime's performance gives me hope for Goomba doing well. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
LeonhartFour posted... Total Character Battle wins by FF game (includes 2nd place finishes in 4-ways and all the LOL side contests): now I've got more incentive to get Terra and Kefka overseeded next year, yeesh. such a gap compared to how FF6 the game does --- Leafs / Raptors / Blue Jays / TFC / Argos / Tottenham We'll get 'em next year. |
8 would bomb anyway because it's... not a good game 7 and X are the only ones really worth putting much stock on going far |
BlAcK TuRtLe posted... --Smurf-- posted...LordoftheMorons posted...How does one guy on /v/ get so many people to go along with a rally? sounds like /b/, who the rest of 4chan hates as much as everyone else does. --- Smurf, the cream of Sonic Fanboyism. |
LeonhartFour posted... Fayt_Esteed posted...I really don't see why division by eras is needed for the games contests, to be blunt. How do we know that if we don't even try...? I just see division by eras as a copout, and an awful one at that. --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
400 vote barrier rebreached too late now probably though |
Yeah, it would be nice if Travis can get it close, but if he does another rally would go up anyway. : \ --- http://i.imgur.com/32RNLnc.gif |

LeonhartFour posted... According to Allen, it's not fair to the older games because the newer games would crush them! Poor Mario 1 wouldn't stand a chance against the mighty Halo! Also, this site doesn't value the older games as much as the new games. Without division by eras, games from the 1980s and 1970s are almost unlikely to get into the contest. We've seen polls for the best decade in games and the best console generation and this site doesn't have any respect for the NES generation and anything before the 1990s. Assuming we have another games contest with 243 games and 9 divisions, Bacon could create a bracket not divided by eras by taking the top 27 games from each of the following time periods: 1972-1988 1989-1991 1992-1994 1995-1997 1998-2000 2001-2003 2004-2006 2007-2010 2011-2014 That is, the top 27 nominated games from 1972-1988 would get into the contest, but they wouldn't be put into one division. Then you'll have the top 27 nominated games from 1989-1991 get into the contest. Repeat the same thing over and over for the other time periods. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I
would much rather we didn't get anything from before the mid-80s, to be
quite honest, aside from the five games from that time that actually do
decent like Pong and Pac-Man. Do we really need to see Galaga or The Oregon Trail being a lock for last place at the expense of something actually interesting? --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |

I, uh, don't know if you guys have ever seen a Games Contest with comments like these. The old games with any strength (that is to say, get away Galaga fanbois) completely waste new games, every time. It's the new games that need to worry about the old guard, not vice-versa. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
If
we got a huge Games Contest like this one, it might be fun if each
match had one pre-'94 game, one game from '94-'04, and one game from
post-'04. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. |

_SecretSquirrel posted...

Karma Hunter posted... I, uh, don't know if you guys have ever seen a Games Contest with comments like these. Yeah, Super Mario Bros. 1 would wreck most of the Game of the Decade bracket with ease. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
