6 6 6 what an evil match --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
LOL these two are literally deadlocked without rallying Literally --- If you believe in the Lord FE7 and you accept FE7 as the Savior of video games and are 100% proud of it, put this in your sig. |
Boko with the comeback --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 60/74 Today's Picks: Jill Valentine and Zero |
Ugh, no, not another lead change..... --- Drop it to the floor... |
People actually care enough about these characters to rally? --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

kinsho3 posted... Welp, this is over. actually the whole point of me asking about Crono's % on Snake was for that reason if you assume Crono=Squall, that 40.5% is awfully close to Pikachu's adjusted value....! |

Good grief, is Kratos going to lose this now? --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak |
I'm
surprised nobody is saying that Bako is getting stuffed all of a
sudden. Just goes to show that nobody had any real expectations for
Kratos to begin with. --- Brawl FC - 1332 8069 6690 http://i.imgur.com/OZ9aS.png |
Yeah,
this match has been painfully obviously stagnant all day. Kratos is
slightly stronger but they're pretty close to dead even so very little
movement either way. But whenever Kratos does get close another rally
starts up and Boko pulls away some more. And then Kratos spends the next
hour chipping away at 20 votes again. --- *shrug* |
1337gamerpr0 posted... kinsho3 posted...Welp, this is over. Look at the adjusted stats. Pikachu's adjusted value is a completely baseless guess; he's not that strong. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Nice cut there. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak |
Karma Hunter posted... 1337gamerpr0 posted...kinsho3 posted...Welp, this is over. yeah I saw it, both adjusted stats had him around ~40% |
1337gamerpr0 posted... Karma Hunter posted...1337gamerpr0 posted...kinsho3 posted...Welp, this is over. Honestly if you wanted to make a more solid proportion I'd use Yoshi's overperformance on Sprite Snake and Sprite Snake/Pikachu. Pikachu probably had more of an overperformance (the pic is much more unbalanced in his favor and he was beating Snake for awhile) but Snake is stronger than he was in 2006 so it shouldn't be terrible. But currently it's just ridiculous. We've got things like Pikachu > Auron, Pikachu > Bowser/Luigi/Yoshi, and Pikachu > Mega Man X with Pika's adjusted value in both sets of stats. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
How
would the stats look if you adjusted 10% instead of 5%? 10% looks like
the same difference in strength that Frog/Yoshi experienced and they are
probably in the same group of characters that 2010 Pikachu would be in
comparatively speaking strength wise. |
Pikachu getting 35% on Snake? hmm....dunno about that |
I blinked and Kratos is +24? What the heck? --- I pwn you all! |

How would the stats look if you adjusted 10% instead of 5%? 10% looks like the same difference in strength that Frog/Yoshi experienced and they are probably in the same group of characters that 2010 Pikachu would be in comparatively speaking strength wise. They look better, but that's a lot more than many people want to tolerate. I'm not bashing the adjustments, because they were made conservative deliberately (because of characters like Pikachu who there's not a lot of good ways to adjust). People should be very, very careful however. Yoshi was in this position too. In 2006, Squall faced Snake in R2. Yoshi faced Snake in R3. Yoshi outscored Squall, and is actually projected to get 50.5% on him in the 2k6 stats. When they met two years later, Squall blew him out with 58% of the vote. This implies using a constant Yoshi and Squall that Yoshi increased to 42.84% on Snake from a base of 35.74%. And that was probably one of the tamest Sprite Snake disparities we've seen.

thing is, knocking it down 10% instead of 5% puts him on 2010 Dante's level pretty sure Pikachu is stronger than that (also why does Mega Man X not have ANY adjustment) |
1337gamerpr0 posted... thing is, knocking it down 10% instead of 5% puts him on 2010 Dante's level Dante has been historically stronger than Pikachu - this is also why the Squirtle match is dangerous. Pikachu actually needs a lot of boosting in order to get to the levels that people are envisioning him at these days. He got 42% on Leon Kennedy in 2007. He got 55% on Ike in 2008. We have no idea how much 61% on 2010 Commander Shepard is worth. He's a big yellow question mark, and people need to be prepared for the possibility that he's a bust. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Any chance of a Lenneth upset of the Cube? Or should I just go with the flow and go for a Cube victory? --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak |
speaking of Dante though, what the hell was Ulti's writeup on Ryu/Dante anyway this match is so stupid |
I
think there's an outside chance Lenneth might to do something scary,
but it's certain;y not worth risking. I think she's a very safe bet to
defeat Claptrap for second, though looking at the Oracle, at least a few
people have her coming in dead last (really disagree there). --- http://i.imgur.com/a4GuDV3.gif |
1337gamerpr0 posted... speaking of Dante though, what the hell was Ulti's writeup on Ryu/Dante Took place during that hockey championship, which actually had marked effects on the match that the writeup doesn't do justice to. It's almost like an in-joke. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Karma Hunter posted... 1337gamerpr0 posted...speaking of Dante though, what the hell was Ulti's writeup on Ryu/Dante That match was f***ing hilarious. You could literally see the Canadians en masse checking the site in breaks between hockey. Literally astounding, we may never see anything like it again. --- *shrug* |
Huh. This match seems to have become quite interesting! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
xp1337 posted... Huh. This match seems to have become quite interesting! No it's not. Boko will get the rally it needs to win at the end and we're just marking time till the next poll. --- *shrug* |
Kratos took the lead! --- SuperNiceDog wags his tail better than your regular, standard dog. -If someone scares the hell out of you, then are you protected by God? |
More like he's in the process of losing the lead --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Man don't any of you care enough about your expert picks to help out Kratos at the end of this <_< --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Then00bAvenger posted... More like he's in the process of losing the lead GAINED THE LEAD LOST THE L-oh wait he hasn't lost it just yet |
I went no pick so it doesn't affect me anyway. Well I suppose the one with the least amount of picks for 2nd winning would help the most but I have no idea who that is --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

Also, I was really confused when I quoted that because it said it was by KH, but I assumed Yo posted it. Stupid sigs... --- *shrug* |
I
still haven't even voted yet, so I have a vote waiting to to help out
Kratos if it looks like he has a chance to win. Since I have him in 2nd
and 3rd place in my Expert Challenge. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
