If Slippy was here instead, this might've reached single digit % --- F*** BT |
That Falco pic is horrendous. It has to be contributing somewhat to this horrible performance. --- POKEFEAR |
You know what Final Fantasy character would be winning here? Exdeath. Hell, replace Lightning with Bartz and he'd probably win! --- Brawl FC - 1332 8069 6690 http://i.imgur.com/OZ9aS.png |
DK is laying on an SFF beatdown. This is amazing. Banana stocks rising. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
Slippy would be in single digits regardless of who was in the poll Or even if Slippy was the only option --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
I'm
guessing the strength we see from Lightning today all comes from FF13.
There were almost no signs of any other character boosting from a game
in 2012 so FF13-2 likely falls in line there. She was in both
Dissidia-games, but that seems to have only affected old-Square if it
had an effect at all. Theatrhythm...whatever. What's the only time we've seen Lightning between these releases? http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/4480 Chester VS Barthandelus: who you got? --- T H E S T A B L E - bring on Epona! http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |
I just realized we've now got the Zelda/DK/Zard Nintendo logjam next round. Well we'll definitely see how Zard does against Nintendo when he's not on HG/SS steroids. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
Lightning vs. Balthier Place your bets. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
I'd take Lightning. She hasn't lost to Ada Wong twice...yet. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |
I'd take Lightning in that scenario since people hate XII just as much if not more than XIII. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
People still deluding themselves into believing Pikachu is a near-elite, what does it take to disabuse this notion CHARIZARD is a near-elite maybe, Pikachu isn't even in the discussion. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

swordz9 posted... I'd take Lightning in that scenario since people hate XII just as much if not more than XIII. No they don't. But Lightning would still win. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
**** it, taking Balthier just because. --- The Gamer In Me "Ike and Ash & Co. saw a Yoshi and didn't catch it." - Mer telling us his dream. |
charmander6000 posted... So does this make Master Chief the biggest choker now or does 2007 still keep him above DK? Considering how the other four "chokers" all performed better than expected (though I'll admit I thought Magus vs. Otacon was going to be really close), I'd say the answer is a resounding yes. Chief is the biggest choker ever now. I think I was seriously postulating after Magus and Kefka won that Master Chief and Donkey Kong would both win their matches in similar fashion. Though I thought that Chief > Yuna was more likely than DK > Lightning, oops. Either way, at least I was half right. I did not switch away from Lightning > DK in the Expert Challenge though. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
swordz9 posted... Man how is Falco this bad. He should be thrashing DK. That Falco pic is pretty terrible. But I don't think he'd win anyway. DK's contest history is weird as hell because he honestly should be more popular than some of Nintendo's other series. Star Fox sales have been bad for the last three games and I'm pretty much convinced that those characters benefit mainly off of Smash Bros. the same way Ness and Captain Falcon do. At least DK has something else going for him. If it wasn't for smash bros. I would honestly guess that F-Zero and Star Fox would be forgotten from character battles altogether. --- Brawl FC - 1332 8069 6690 http://i.imgur.com/OZ9aS.png |
I'd take Lightning over Balthier because whether people hate 13 or not, at least they have an opinion on it. FF12 just gets utter indifference. Nobody seems to care one way or the other. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
pjbasis posted... swordz9 posted...I'd take Lightning in that scenario since people hate XII just as much if not more than XIII. Yes they do. A ton of people think FFXII is awful in story and characters. Balthier is probably the only character most people even like more than a little bit. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
On
the other hand, it's only Nintendo that has been able to SFF stuff this
hard. Doesn't necessarily mean it will be the same for Square
characters. There's still some hope for Pikachu. Not to mention, taking a
great performance by a Nintendo icon as a point against another
Nintendo icon is kinda unfair. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
Chief's 2007 run puts him above levels DK will never be able to reach. DK would have lost to everyone MC has lost to, too. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
LeonhartFour posted... Slippy would be in single digits regardless of who was in the poll Can we get Caim out of the poll and put Slippy in instead? --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |

Slippy/Peppy/Da Great Leon --- F*** BT |
FFXII would beat XIII in a poll --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
squexa posted... It's kinda weird how two of the biggest upsets this round have been by Kefka and DK. The casuals probably called both correctly. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Friendly reminder that FFXII barely got 55% on Crisis Core and needed the night vote to break 40% on Portal. --- "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!" |

Argh, had a bad feeling before I voted. Maybe Lightning can at least make it close. --- http://i.imgur.com/32RNLnc.gif |
I don't know about 3 years ago, but I think XII's stock has risen since then at least compared to XIII's. Lightning really should not be losing unless DK goes out and does amazing next round --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |

She was in both Dissidia-games, but that seems to have only affected old-Square if it had an effect at all. Theatrhythm...whatever. Lightning wasn't in the first Dissidia. I heard she was initially planned to be in it, but Dissidia predating FFXIII put a stop to that. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
People still, after all of these years, don't get that Nintendo is a tiered system of love. If DK gets 10% in the next round it would be a great thing for him! --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
XII would probably beat XIII just because it's not XIII but it's still weak. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
Tomorrow night, I'm totally going to make a badass DK pic just to see how much of Char's strength is looking awesome. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
MegatokyoEd posted... XII would probably beat XIII just because it's not XIII but it's still weak. I'd argue XIII could beat XII because it's not XII. They're both polarizing games. --- http://i.imgur.com/M7vKB.gif |
Roughly
spotting Lightning... 40% on DK in a Falco-less match over 24 hours,
that'd wind up with her being around Liquid Snake 2010 level. Better
than fodder, but yeah. Of course, the more you boost DK the better Lightning looks, if you're buying that. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
And
with this, I've now underestimated DK two contests in a row. First he
broke 60% in a debated match in Rivalry Rumble, and now this. Why do I keep underestimating DK again? Wait I know. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
LeonhartFour posted... MegatokyoEd posted...XII would probably beat XIII just because it's not XIII but it's still weak. XIII gets far, far more bitter hater than XII. Most people just don't care about XII. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
Excuse me one moment, I have something very important to say. FLOP OF THE CENTURY --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
XII definitely gets its fair share of hate. Game literally couldn't even beat IX right after the game came out. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/2593 Seriously, you don't let Crisis Core get 45% on you if the fans don't dislike you. --- http://i.imgur.com/M7vKB.gif |
4 HyperSage 339 48 WhiteLens 316 Holy crap, my alt AND my main account are now the expert leaderboard! Did that many people pick Sakcboy? Though I guess picking Rikku > ? Block the match prior did help. Though my main might drop off if there are some people who picked DK.... --- "In fact, I should just play good games from now on... Man, F*** THAT, let's play some s***ty ones!" - Angry Video Game Nerd |
I am absolutely adoring this Lightning choke bee tee dubs. --- ~FFDragon. (at Work !!) The Cream of Resident Evil Fanboyism. |
It's
more like Falco choking which is resulting in her loss. The only time
she was in a match was before her game was out anyways so it's not a
good thing to base her on that since nobody knew what she was like or
anything. You could probably throw Noctis in here and he'd look decent
with FFXV hype. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
Holy snap I have DK winning in my bracket! --- I have Cloud winning this contest, which means I'll beat most of you... Nawt gonna happen >_> |
The problem is that she needed Falco to not choke in order to win. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
swordz9 posted... You could probably throw Noctis in here and he'd look decent with FFXV hype. People have pretty much abandoned Square at this point so probably not. --- It's like paying for bubble wrap. -transience on Final Fantasy: All the Bravest |
So that's that. Pretty much every character from a game released after 2009 has disappointed if not outright bombed. For all you know, both FFXIII and DKCR have extremely low playrates on this site, and people just look "hey, it's the main character of that hated game vs. a recently resurrected gaming icon". Or perhaps FFXIII is what made GameFAQs swear off of all games released afterwards. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
