Voting to put Kratos in the lead now will just provoke more rallies. Got to save it for the last 3 minutes --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Any chance of a Lenneth upset of Claptrap, then? >_> |
Lenneth doesn't have TJF in the match pic, going with Claptrap |
Lenneth
could always get 2nd, but Claptrap is the supposed safe pick.
Personally I don't think there is a safe pick in that match. --- http://i.imgur.com/32RNLnc.gif |
nintendogirl1 posted... Who will you vote if it doesn't look like he has a chance to win? I wanted to vote for Boko, but I didn't vote earlier since I missed the start of the match. But if it looks like Kratos isn't going to win, then I'll vote for Boko instead. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
I'd go with Claptrap if it wasn't for Lenneth standing out there. I mean... she really does stand out there --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
1337gamerpr0 posted... Lenneth doesn't have TJF in the match pic, going with Claptrap LOL, if this is true I'll be laughing for the more serious comments about the match. --- SuperNiceDog wags his tail better than your regular, standard dog. -If someone scares the hell out of you, then are you protected by God? |
I
like Lenneth over Claptrap, but don't really feel comfortable with
either. I really don't see Cube losing unless GameFAQs just puts their
foot down on being utterly sick of joke characters at this point. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Match LXXVII: (5) Lenneth Valkyrie vs. (14) Claptrap vs. (23) Weighted Companion Cube Previous Contest Lenneth Valkyrie – 2006 25.00% against Rikku Claptrap – 2010 35.64% against Zidane Tribal Weighted Companion Cube – 2010 78.10% against Sandal 53.80% against The Boss 35.16% against Luigi Analysis While I am not surprised at any character reaching a 243 character contest I am a bit surprised Lenneth was able to make it as a 5 seed. She struggled to make the female’s bracket in 2006 and her last game appearance was back in 2009. While I would not rank her opponents as strong as Rikku I still expect her to get crushed badly, maybe even getting tripled against the winner. At the beginning of the contest I gave Claptrap a slight outside chance of pulling the upset, but I no longer think he is capable of winning. For one Ike showed he was not as strong as where I had placed him and the other reason is Handsome Jack’s poor performance. I still expect Claptrap to get a boost from the release of Borderlands 2, but Jack’s performance does not give me confidence that the boost will be large. Only way for Claptrap to win in my mind is if the cube loses a lot of strength due to the joke getting stale. While it is likely cube will see a drop in strength due to the joke getting old it does have reasons to be stronger. Free Portal and Portal 2 have been released since 2010 and while we cannot tell how much it helped GlaDOS earlier this round she did look stronger. With more people being introduced to Portal even if the joke is old the cube will still have its legit fans to give it strength. I would love to see Claptrap steal the win, but I feel the cube will win without too much trouble. Had there been no free Portal or Portal 2 I may have taken the upset. It is nice to see Lenneth return, I just hope time has not made her even weaker. charmander6000’s Bracket: Weighted Companion Cube > Claptrap and Lenneth Valkyrie charmander6000’s Prediction: Weighted Companion Cube – 50.77%, Claptrap – 32.66%, Lenneth Valkyrie – 16.57% --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 60/74 Today's Picks: Jill Valentine and Zero |
Advokaiser posted... 1337gamerpr0 posted...Lenneth doesn't have TJF in the match pic, going with Claptrap well I dunno, what else is there to actually discuss 4th straight match with a debatable 2nd place |
So you think Valkyrie will get crushed, huh? Nevertheless, next match will be fun. --- SuperNiceDog wags his tail better than your regular, standard dog. -If someone scares the hell out of you, then are you protected by God? |
I
think I'll wait and see the crew picks for this, because I have very
little idea how this match will go, and I can't really afford to drop
the points, especially if Kratos can't hold on here. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak |
Personally I do Spread betting has Claptrap/Lenneth a 29/21 match, which is probably around the average consensus of the board. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 60/74 Today's Picks: Jill Valentine and Zero |

Sorozone posted... 3rd post for a rally @ /v/ that I've seen today was posted about 3 minutes ago. Who is this person who has such a hard on for Boko of all things. I am curious --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
This match is so exciting --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Damn rallies. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak |
couldn't someone find a place to rally for Kratos Aurion, Tales characters seem like the perfect job for finding a niche group |
None
of the posts got much of anything in response, but the ones that were
posted, Boko always saw a spike. Could be natural, or the effect of the
rally. If I had to guess, there hasn't been too many votes received from
/v/ probably 90 at the most. Well, 90 or so that went to Boko. 90 is
all he needs to win though. --- http://i.imgur.com/32RNLnc.gif |
Honestly
if you were really dedicated on /v/ and reddit and willing to waste a
lot of your time you could really significantly alter matches,
especially with these low votals. Things like that may have been
responsible for seemingly inexplicable overperformances we've had over
the years, too. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Like,
Catherine for example with a few hours of rallying from /v/ alone
netted her probably 600 or more votes. She was on track to lose to Neku
until that happened. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
charmander6000 posted... Personally I do that's actually why I went with Claptrap, the whole thing is a crapshoot |

holy s*** Kratos making this a match --- Wii Fit Trainer MASTER RACE |
Karma Hunter posted... Like, Catherine for example with a few hours of rallying from /v/ alone netted her probably 600 or more votes. She was on track to lose to Neku until that happened. did Catherine ever actually give up the lead? it seemed like Neku would get to ~20 votes behind then Catherine would run it up near 100 before the cycle repeated itself |

She was on track to lose to Neku until that happened. Earlier in the match Neku was up by 80. But once she established her lead a few hours in she never let go, no.

I seriously want these 3 points. Where do I go to nab like 20 votes for Boko --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
pjbasis posted... I seriously want these 3 points. nowhere, I'll just take them away and give them to Kratos |
Literally the closest match we had in this whole contest so far --- Drop it to the floor... |
I'm
happy to have a match where there's no clear winner for the fodder in
the final hours while one of my favorite characters (Zero) sits back and
relaxessss. --- SuperNiceDog wags his tail better than your regular, standard dog. -If someone scares the hell out of you, then are you protected by God? |

Between Mithos, Sheena, Lloyd, Kratos, Zelos, Jade, Luke, and Lowell, that's 8 characters - and of course, not a one of them has looked respectable. --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul!

1337gamerpr0 posted... dunno, Tales fans must be pretty dedicated to continually nominate fodder....! If Kratos wins, they will never stop! Another reason to get out the vote for Boko! |

kinsho3 posted... Literally the closest match we had in this whole contest so far I'm finding it very exciting...seems I'm in the minority. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak |
First part was a joke. Second part was serious... Somebody get out the vote for Boko. >_> |
neither one is a character i care about, neither one is advancing, and my expert bracket is dead. so i find it hard to care. --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |

Ugh, no thanks. Last thing Tales needs is a Guybrush moment! They will be emboldened! |
this is a great match --- SC2K13 Bracket: Kefka hate hate hate hate hates my bracket! Oracle: Team Frog and Magus |

Xuxon posted... neither one is a character i care about, neither one is advancing, and my expert bracket is dead. so i find it hard to care. I'm exactly in your position. And I like this anyway. I just find it interesting how the trends go for characters regardless if they are debatable or not. --- SuperNiceDog wags his tail better than your regular, standard dog. -If someone scares the hell out of you, then are you protected by God? |

Sadly, I get the feeling that they'll never stop even if he loses... after all, Jade turning out to be turbofodder didn't stop them from bringing him back - and bringing Luke along, to boot! --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul!
