Hey
guys, if you're wondering, at this point assuming constant Kratos and
Travis we're pretty much in for a barnburner between Zelda 2010 and
Charizard 2010 based on these results. I don't think you'd be good assuming either but heyyyyyyyyyyyy --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
LeonhartFour posted... Fayt_Esteed posted...Man, this has to be a pretty bad fall from grace... To think Travis was worth 30% on Zelda once... He's losing to Recette. RECETTE! What the heck, man?! And she made Kratos look bad, too! (For a while, anyways...) --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
Is 30% on Zelda really that much better than 33% on Kratos? If anything I think he held up kind of well --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

Kotetsu534 posted... If you view TP as being perceived as at least partly a Gamecube game, then Brawl, which was the most hyped game of the century on this site, is the only superstrong game from the Wii. Galaxy and Galaxy 2 being strong, but not elite, makes sense in light of Skyward Sword's showings. Don't think that holds up too well. Many people bought the Wii just to play TP, the sales were super lopsided for the Wii, too. I don't think the SS, post-Brawl comparison works for SMG, anyway. It came out in the middle of Wii hype, before Brawl. That explains SMG2, though. People here just haven't taken to Mario's Wii games for whatever reason, despite being Nintendo's highest quality series this gen. I guess Mario games don't really get 'hype' like Zelda and Smash Bros., so it doesn't get that same fanaticism. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |

It
might well just be a mix of new-age Mario weakness and end-of-gen
fatigue. Galaxy 2's inevitable early loss in the next Games Contest is
going to be so disappointing to see though - if you ask me, it's the
best platformer ever and the biggest reason to think Nintendo's still
got 'it' around. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |

definitely not always. Skyward Sword has bad upsets in its future

would take Skyward Sword because LAW --- Character Battle IX: 62/73 points, Next matches: Kratos, Jill Valentine http://backloggery.com/articuno2001/sig.gif |
Skyward
Sword would be fairly strong in a Games Contest simply because it has
'Zelda' in the name. I wouldn't be surprised if 3/4 of its potential
voters haven't played it, but yeah. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

homsar555 posted... I wonder how much support a Katawa Shoujo character could get from 4chan. Didn't that game sort of originate there? If they really cared, they would've gotten one in. There was even one in the database and everything! -LusterSoldier- posted... 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! And that's a problem why? Any time someone protests the possible "retirement" of characters like Link who win too much, it's because it's "supposed to be a popularity contest, so why would you say someone's ineligible for being too popular?" And yet we're supposed to be okay with popular games being held out in favor of less popular games because the less popular games came from an era that has less representation? Put the games with the most nominations into the bracket, regardless of what era they're from. Only old games with actual strength will get in, so you don't have to worry about the "weak older games" being destroyed by newer games. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
Then00bAvenger posted... Is 30% on Zelda really that much better than 33% on Kratos? If anything I think he held up kind of well Yes. Kratos is far from weak, but he's not really that strong, either. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |

TsunamiXXVIII posted... Yes. Kratos is far from weak, but he's not really that strong, either. So what you're saying is that Charizard is screwed? --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Zelda
2010 is weaker than traditional Zelda. If Zelda was as strong as she
was in, say, 2008, I'd have bitten on the Charizard upset. As it is I'm
rather concerned she might be in for another SFF beatdown like last
year, despite their projected strengths being very similar now. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
If Wrex and Zelda both get to round 3, you could be looking at your Guru champ RIGHT HERE Well, we'd have to get that all Noble Nine Final Nine, too, but Zelda would go a long way toward us getting it. --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonpngpe.png http://img.imgcake.com/squalloweenpngem.png |
Match LXXV: (9) Red Bird vs. (10) Mike Haggar vs. (19) Jill Valentine Previous Contest Red Bird N/A N/A Mike Haggar N/A N/A Jill Valentine 2010 67.21% against Niko Bellic 32.48% against Samus Aran Analysis As SBAllen slowly revealed the bracket I was excited at the match between Red Bird and Mike Haggar, but then Jill had to show up as the 19 seed. Jill should have little trouble winning here. Jill has had a couple of appearances since her last contest, most notably Marvel vs. Capcom 3, but given her next round opponents a boost is not going to do much for her. While the main fight is obvious the fight for second is still debated. Angry Birds is one of the most played games in the world and the game does not have a bad play rate on GameFAQs. Sure 67% does not exactly compare with Pac-Man or Tetris, but it is a lot higher than other games played by many people like World of Warcraft and Minecraft which struggle to reach half that percent. Despite the numbers Red Bird probably will not have strength because he is a type of character that no one cares about. Had this been a match of complete unknowns I would give him a chance, but here I see him flopping to our expectations. I expect Mike Haggar to be weak, but after watching Poison he may have some strength. Of course we have no information on Elizabeth and Thrall is likely weaker plus she had a pair of reasons to perform better. Regardless Haggar should be stronger than Poison and with his appearances in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and being a general fan favourite I feel he will have enough strength to take second. One thing that may be concerning is any potential Capcom SFF between Jill and Haggar which could let Red Bird sneak into second. Despite the potential I feel Haggar could resist some of the SFF because he is more of a fan favourite than Jill. I also do not see Red Bird getting any kind of joke rally; he just does not seem like the type of character to get one. charmander6000s Bracket: Jill Valentine > Mike Haggar and Red Bird charmander6000s Prediction: Jill Valentine 54.36%, Mike Haggar 25.44%, Red Bird 20.20% --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 58/72 Today's Picks: Mega Man and Kratos |
Pssssshaw,
Zelda has no chance in the second round! Donkey Kong (yeah, you heard
me) will be leeching more votes off her than on Charizard. Zard's gonna
be coasting to round 3!! --- Drop it to the floor... |
Funny
thing is that the thing that worries me the most about Red Bird isn't
even the play rate or the popularity of the game. More like the fact
that he's 'some animal'. GameFAQs seems to love dem plain animals. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Karma Hunter posted... LeonhartFour posted...Karma Hunter posted...MGS has the primacy, the playrate, the near universal respect by the fanbase... I mean, heck, who likes any of the MGS games and simultaneously doesn't like either MGS or TTS? Do they even exist? hey have we met --- i'll do rydia -Dante |
charmander6000 posted... charmander6000s Prediction: Jill Valentine 54.36%, Mike Haggar 25.44%, Red Bird 20.20% Mike Haggar should be even weaker than Poison. I think Poison only looked good because Thrall crapped the bed and Elizabeth is much weaker than we expected. When Elizabeth gets absolutely eviscerated by Kirby next round, that will only confirm that Poison was even more terrible than she showed. I think Booker's performance would suggest Elizabeth is not as strong as we thought. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

Funny, because I'd expect someone who got 30% on Zelda to not spend pretty much the entire poll losing to the likes of Recette... --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance!

You keep touting 30% on Zelda like it's some benchmark. It's not indicative of strength. --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonpngpe.png http://img.imgcake.com/squalloweenpngem.png |

You guys just made me play Recettear. Now I'm completely addicted. You monsters. Seriously, this game is great. It's Animal Crossing, except for the fact you get to be the greedy shopkeeper. |
Wow... I find it hard to believe Kratos probably won't even double Recette by the time this is over. --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
birdFAQS incoming |
Luster,
why in the heck would you want those old games in? Even from the NES
era the only games worth having would be SMB, SMB3, LoZ, and Final
Fantasy. This site is all about SNES/N64/PSX/PS2. And RBY from Gameboy. Pre-NES games need to be avoided like the plague. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
CP724 posted... birdFAQS incoming Not until Boko! |
Red Bird or Haggar for 2nd I kinda feel like no-picking again |
I
never said that I wanted to have old games in. But if Bacon is
determined to have games from the 1970s and early 1980s represented in a
Games Contest, he should do it in a way that avoids having divisions by
era. I proposed one way to avoid divisions by era while allowing games
from the 1970s and early 1980s to get into the contest. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
