Janus5000 posted... Not_Wylvane posted...Also, forget Rikku, at this point I'm questioning ? Block's ability to beat Lyndis. Eh, I think Rikku being there kind of cuts some of the legs under Lyndis's girl power. Nothing too crazy, but with as weak as Lyndis is I think Mario franchise votes will be enough to keep ? Block ahead. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Man, I'd be kinda surprised if ? Block lost to Lyndis. She should be the weakest FE character in the contest. --- http://gifsoup.com/view/874243/big-boss-o.gif |
Wait what? I think Lyndis would murder Tharja --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Yeah, I thought Lyndis would be the strongest non-Smash FE character. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
Lyndis is from the Fire Emblem game that got doubled by FFTA, right? And apparently she's DLC for Awakening...? Yeah, I think she'd lose to Tharja. Tharja's at least attractive. --- http://i.imgur.com/M7vKB.gif |
And there's the lead change. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

The Fire Emblem she's from is like the FF7 of Fire Emblem for Americans. It's what got them into Fire Emblem --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
I
don't know much about Fire Emblem except what I learned from Smash, but
I always hear about Lyndis whenever anyone talks about the series. I'm
surprised she never made it before the expanded field. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
FE
has ensemble cast syndrome at FF6 levels... but if GameFAQs is finally
getting over that, hey, no reason Lyndis can't be worth a little
something! --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Then00bAvenger posted... The Fire Emblem she's from is like the FF7 of Fire Emblem for Americans. It's what got them into Fire Emblem Was that FE really that popular? Didn't seem like FE started getting "popular" here until Ike. --- http://i43.tinypic.com/dgwh0.gif http://www.majhost.com/gallery/atukam/OHWD/snownd.gif |
Okay which one of you jokers is rallying Claptrap --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Well Ike was the first major console release for Fire Emblem in America which definitely counts for something. I think people have a hard time taking stuff seriously if it's purely handheld. Unless it's Pokemon, anyway. But if you held a "Favorite Fire Emblem" poll, I'm pretty confident that Fire Embllem 7 would get top billing. Or least top 2 or top 3. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
I think the morning vote finally showed up to this match. I'll wait for a few more updates to see if this is the morning vote or just a temporary spike for Claptrap. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Karma Hunter posted... FE has ensemble cast syndrome at FF6 levels... but if GameFAQs is finally getting over that, hey, no reason Lyndis can't be worth a little something! I dunno... Her being from an FE game that got doubled by FFTA (and couldn't even double a goddamn TONY HAWK game) gives me pause, as is the fact that this is a decade after said game's release. I'm expecting her to be dead last. --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
Fayt_Esteed posted... Karma Hunter posted...FE has ensemble cast syndrome at FF6 levels... but if GameFAQs is finally getting over that, hey, no reason Lyndis can't be worth a little something! Please don't tell me you think FFTA > FE meant anything outside of FF franchise voting back then, or means anything today. Y'know, FFT once went 50/50 with MGS! Xenogears blew out Pokemon G/S/C!! --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Yeah, I would totally bite on FE > FFTA in 2013. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
I could be totally wrong about Lyndis! I mean, after all, I expected Lenneth to be dead last by a mile here! But if ? Block comes in third, it's probably because it's really weak, not because Lyndis is anything worthwhile. Virtually no chance that Lyndis finishes ahead of Rikku here, I think. But who knows. Round 1's almost over! Let's get through this thing. --- http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o8250gifyd.gif http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o6250gifuv.gif |

I don't. But FE7 not being able to double a Tony Hawk game, which I'd expect a good deal of games to double...? But I digress. I just think Lyndis isn't going to be anything worthwhile. --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
Both
of those games were only half a year old at the time. I doubt opinions
were really settled then. It was basically the Final Fantasy name
beating Fire Emblem --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
For the record, FFIX isn't projected to do as well on FE as FFTA did in the original Games Contest based on GOTD. So clearly this means Marche > Zidane --- "Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?" "I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!" |
I
mean, if you're gonna use GotD stuff, you might as well also note that
Fire Emblem got 40% on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and that
game put up a really solid 47% on Final Fantasy IX. Fire Emblem isn't
going to be making crazy waves or anything, but it's not fodder. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
LeonhartFour posted... For the record, FFIX isn't projected to do as well on FE as FFTA did in the original Games Contest based on GOTD. Oh look, more stat voodoo junk --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
Fayt_Esteed posted... Oh look, more stat voodoo junk you do realize saying "FE couldn't double Tony Hawk what a garbage game" is using stats too right --- Guess who I am! http://gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs3/1345748_o.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... Fayt_Esteed posted...Oh look, more stat voodoo junk Okay. But it isn't trying to spin the stats to mean something that probably ain't true (which is strictly what I'm calling "stat voodoo junk"). --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
FE's always been decent. That shouldn't be surprising to anyone though - this is the site where Golden Sun beat San Andreas. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
Fayt_Esteed posted... Okay. But it isn't trying to spin the stats to mean something that probably ain't true. Not sure what the problem is considering FE and FFIX were in the same half of the division in GOTD. Like, if you want to say "Your stats are meaningless," you need to have a better reason than "I don't accept direct results." --- http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo22vfguji1qzxr43.gif |
Fayt_Esteed posted... LeonhartFour posted...Fayt_Esteed posted...Oh look, more stat voodoo junk ...the entire point is that it isn't true. It illustrates how ridiculous your FFTA comparison was. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Lenneth gets a 1 vote lead and promptly collapses. This is pretty impressive. --- http://i.imgur.com/fe05x.png http://i.imgur.com/stNJf.png |
I
don't think Lyndis will beat ? Block or anything(well... it's possible
if it bombs on the same level as WCC) but I just don't think she'd lose
to Tharja. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
I'd
have taken Lyndis > Tharja without thinking it was even debatable. I
mean, I'd actually heard Lyndis' name a fair few times before CBIX! --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
LeonhartFour posted... Lenneth gets a 1 vote lead and promptly collapses. Well, at least Lenneth can say she didn't pull a Bomberman. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
I would be quite surprised if Lyndis wasn't the strongest FE character outside of Marth and Ike honestly. BUT that match is a really awful draw for her from both sides: an RPG girl and a Mario entrant. She won't be anywhere close to 2nd IMO. --- SuperNiceDog won the Guru contest super nicely! |
SuorGenoveffa posted... I would be quite surprised if Lyndis wasn't the strongest FE character outside of Marth and Ike honestly. This isn't a particularly high bar! I mean, she could be, but I dunno. It probably won't matter. --- http://i.imgur.com/eqOQs.gif |
We
usually don't see jokes go out and bomb in their first outing, so ?
Block has that going for it at least. Bidoof, Mudkip (though those two
never returned), L Block, WCC, Missingno, all of them had good showings
their first time around before collapsing in their sophomore year.
Magikarp also had a pretty decent showing this time around, though it's
possible since we didn't see it last time that it would have done
something like upset Mega Man in 2010 - there's no way to know. By this point though all ? Block has is Mario franchise votes and a joke factor that probably hurts it more than helps it. It's just riffing off the L Block joke and that bonus poll from 2007... if voters actually make that connection to L it could hurt it that much more. Who wants to vote for a stale, worn out, and derivative joke? --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
The problem is that ? Block's picture is 3-D. --- http://www.miscupload.com/upload/452457071929141623517416.gif |
LeonhartFour posted... SuorGenoveffa posted...I would be quite surprised if Lyndis wasn't the strongest FE character outside of Marth and Ike honestly. Never said it was. But I think she could've handled Tharja's match better if she was there instead. --- SuperNiceDog won the Guru contest super nicely! |
SuorGenoveffa posted... LeonhartFour posted...SuorGenoveffa posted...I would be quite surprised if Lyndis wasn't the strongest FE character outside of Marth and Ike honestly. I suppose that's true. --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
The timing of the match coming right after WCC is pretty good too, heh --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
LeonhartFour posted... Lenneth gets a 1 vote lead and promptly collapses. I'm just surprised that she's holding up rather well for a niche RPG character who got tripled by Rikku 7 years back (but then again, lol female bracket). --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
Yeah,
people aren't going to be happy with ? Block after seeing yet another
old joke win a poll. The only thing that could maybe make this less
favorable for ? is if it were a night match (Mario franchise probably
means *something* in the day), but you can't have everything. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

Not_Wylvane posted... Also, if ? Block ends up winning, how badly is Zero going to school these cubes? Instead of having two cubes, we are going to have four rectangular boxes. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
I think the only two reasons I picked Rikku > ? Block were: -Me being in an FFX mood (same reason why I switched to Yuna > Master Chief) -Me being upset at Rikku constantly getting shafted despite her strength So yeah, nothing rational. In hindsight, this is sounding stupid. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Also, man the font for these pics is awful. --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
A
disaster for my oracle. Not only does Lenneth fail to beat Claptrap,
cutting his early lead through the night to lead by a solitary vote
before falling away, but the Cube throws in a bomb of a performance on
the level of Big Daddy. I thought it would SFF Claptrap somewhat, but
instead it appears to have been leeched (or, let's be honest, it sucks
now that Portal isn't hot). Round 1, Match 78 (8) ? Block (11) Lyndis (20) Rikku ? Block's strength is one big mystery. Before the contest it looked like it had a tricky but favourable draw - Rikku is a solid midcarder, but FFX is a step weaker in day matches and Lyndis surely hurts her more than the Block. But now that we've seen Missingno struggle so heavily with Tidus - if not necessarily a weaker entrant than Rikku, certainly one more vulnerable to anti-votes and rallying that the alluring Rikku - it's fair to say ? Block has its work cut out. I don't think it's helped by having its match right after the Cube while it has a 3D image (thanks, Ng). I'm selling BoxFAQs, give me TJF. Oh, Lyndis should do a bit better than people might expect. If Rikku loses narrowly you might be able to say she costed her the match. Bracket: Rikku Expert: Rikku > ? Block > Lyndis Oracle: Rikku - 41%; ? Block - 37%; Lyndis - 22% --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
Nanis23 posted... I hate this division I didn't even give a second thought to Marston vs. Sackboy and just assumed that Marston had it. Probably not a great idea, but I find it hard to deem Marston a "Generic McDude" even though he probably should be. To be fair however, last time we saw anything LBP in action it was a loss to Grand Theft Auto III - since Marston is also associated with the same company as GTA, he probably has it. And...I THINK Red Dead Redemption should be able to avoid the anti-votes that GTA entrants get, but who knows. Also post-PS1 Sony mascots haven't really done well this contest (Ratchet did worse against Altair than the 2010 stats suggest, Nathan Drake struggled against Pac-Man, Kratos disappointed). And Kratos Aurion's flop isn't making Sackboy look good. Red Dead Redemption should be a good deal more well-known and well-liked than LittleBigPlanet methinks. Also we already saw a Sony platformer character lose to a current-gen open-world game protagonist. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
So,
apparently Portal isn't as strong as it was before, right? Since
Wheatley was killed by Crash, and the Cube is having a hard time getting
past some Borderlands character. |
