Karma Hunter posted... ChenKenichiFan posted...DKCR came out after the last Character Battle, right? Makes sense that the big ape would enjoy a nice boost. It sold millions and was very well received. Yes, because literally every other icon looking far more legit than ever before would be excepted for DK. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
Everyone's happy Nintendo is invincible, good job guys! --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
Best Birthday Ever luckily, if previous wtf results matches are any indication, 99% of the Expert leaderboard will pick the same thing and very few positions will change --- F*** BT |
DK is still tripling Falco. --- The Gamer In Me "Ike and Ash & Co. saw a Yoshi and didn't catch it." - Mer telling us his dream. |
ChenKenichiFan posted... DKCR came out after the last Character Battle, right? Makes sense that the big ape would enjoy a nice boost. It sold millions and was very well received. Yep. It sold 5 million copies and got big positive reception. It was one if the things I was arguing would help DK here. It's his first real game since these contests started that could have boosted him. And then DKCR2 is coming out soon. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
ChenKenichiFan posted... LET ME REMIND YOU: Link can do this exact same thing to Mario. Well, of course, counting on the rigged final was a bad idea. Snake is going to win by being better than Link --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
pjbasis posted... Everyone's happy Nintendo is invincible, good job guys! You realize the alternatives are another Nintendo character and a Square character that symbolizes everything wrong with SE this generation, right? --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
I'm
really worried about Pikachu > Crono now. Wolf and Falco just died
in this format. Magus may be meaningless in that match. Hmm. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
Time to get Diddy Kong back in --- http://img.imgcake.com/nio/26leonpngat.png http://img.imgcake.com/nio/daigohadoupnguj.png |
Qwaar posted... So is there a reason why so many people were certain of a Lightning victory? She's a great character from the best game of the generation. I guess gamefaqs just wasn't ready for her. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
I loved DKCR. It's given me the only legitimate reason I've had to vote for DK since Donkey Kong 64! --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
KamikazePotato posted... DK>Charizard>Zelda i would burn my bracket with glee for Donkey Kong to win this division --- Leafs / Raptors / Blue Jays / TFC / Argos / Tottenham We'll get 'em next year. |
Achromatic posted... Karma Hunter posted...ChenKenichiFan posted...DKCR came out after the last Character Battle, right? Makes sense that the big ape would enjoy a nice boost. It sold millions and was very well received. I had Lightning weak to begin with. DK SFFing Falco more than expected doesn't change that. 'Icons' are only getting by on recognizability, too. You're going to see how bad chumps like Crash and Spyro look when they get dismantled next round against characters people actually like. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
pjbasis posted... Everyone's happy Nintendo is invincible, good job guys! I am not happy since I don't give a damn about DK at all. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
I knew Lightning would ****ing suck. I ****ing knew it. Should have stuck with my gut and picked DK, regardless of Falco. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
People hate FFXIII , after all. Easily the most hated entry in the main series, and Lightning is suffering the consequences |
DKCR
is just about the perfect game to provide a boost, though. Apart from
Smash, DK was an invisible icon relegated to music games. DKCR
reinvigorated his series after a decade of dormancy, it sold millions
(really a killer seller for Nintendo), and was received almost universal
praise from critics and fans. I know it's on the Wii, but the recipe
for a boost is still there. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/gdl8lcn.jpg |
So does this make Master Chief the biggest choker now or does 2007 still keep him above DK? --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 63/78 Today's Picks: Zelda and Lightning |
I
don't think this really says anything unexpected about Lightning. She's
not going up against fodder. This is all about Falco sucking, which is
pretty good evidence IMO of the Smash Bros factor getting weaker. --- Be a good little washing machine, now... o_0 |

I know it's on the Wii, but the recipe for a boost is still there. In theory, but given DK's status I lean heavily against it. No way we're gonna be able to verify it anyway unless a miracle happens next round.

I think it's Chief now. Chief has burned a lot more brackets than Donkey Kong. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif |
And
let's remember, people, this is with Falco in the poll. This is with
Lightning dressed as Cloud. This is with a bracket/seeding advantage.
Can you IMAGINE how embarrassing this would be in a normal 1 v 1
situation? --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Should've been catgirl Lightning people might have confused her with Krystal or something not sure if that would've been better or worse --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
Achromatic posted... WarThaNemesis2 posted...Denzokuken posted...Lightning put up 36% on Sonic without a game to her name... I doubt she loses to DK or comes close. She should be flop of the round if she loses this. Kerrigan was up against a character with actual strength. Gordon 2002 lost to a character that has yet to return to the field--and who, as a result, is technically on the list of "characters who have never lost in Round 1". Including the Villains Contest and Rivalry Rumble, there have been 11 contests. Nobody has competed in Round 1 of all 11 of them, because the only characters that were in both CBI and the Villains contest are Sephiroth and CATS, the former of which spent a couple of years retired from the main bracket and the latter of which missed CBVIII and Rivalry Rumble. Seven characters have 10-0 records in Round 1. Not surprisingly, four of these are Noble Niners--Mega Man, Samus, Sonic, and Snake (Crono's only 8-2, and the other four spent at least one year retired from the main bracket). The other three are Dante, Ryu, and Bowser (who wasn't in CBI but was in the Villains Contest). Three characters are 9-0: Sephiroth, Mario, and Luigi. Four are 8-0: Cloud and Link of course, as the two who were out of the main bracket for two years and aren't villains, and also Auron and Yoshi. Only Zelda is 7-0. Sub-Zero and Vincent are 6-0; Amaterasu and Tifa are 5-0; L-Block and Mega Man X are 4-0. It's once you get down to the ones with 3 or fewer appearances that the "WTF?" starts. Altair, Red, Vergil, and the Weighted Companion Cube are all 3-0. Vergil hasn't actually won a match in a proper character battle, but he came in second in a fourway to advance to round 2 in 2007, and he went to the second round in both the Villains Contest and Rivalry Rumble. 8 characters have 2 contests, although one of them has yet to actually have his second R1 match. (Charizard.) This group includes three guys whose debuts were Rivalry Rumble (Dracula, Gilgamesh, and Blue) and one who has never been in a proper Character Battle (Dr. Wily). Also, one who would be disqualified from the list if losing in a vote-in counts (Mudkip). 32 characters are 1-0 in Round 1 matches, although two of them have lost in vote-ins at least once before (Bayonetta and Yoshimitsu). A breakdown of which contest their one match was in: 2002: 4 Villains: 4 2006 (Female Bracket): 1 2007: 1 2008: 3 Rivalry Rumble: 7 2013: 12 Yeah, 12 newbies advanced to Round 2 this year. Good for them. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
Being
dressed like Cloud when he gets a ton of anti-votes doesn't sound like a
positive thing. People aren't dumb enough to vote for a look alike
without knowing/liking the character. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
KamikazePotato posted... And let's remember, people, this is with Falco in the poll. This is with Lightning dressed as Cloud. This is with a bracket/seeding advantage. Can you IMAGINE how embarrassing this would be in a normal 1 v 1 situation? Seriously, DK could be winning easily with only half of this SFF on Falco. He's really going bananas HAHAHAHA --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/a4GuDV3.gif |
Let's get Hope Estheim into the next contest. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
Yeah, DK would be winning pretty easy 1v1. Always thought he would. Glad I stuck with him here, though! --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Terra against Cloud-Lightning next contest, please. It's the closest FF6 can get to beating FF7! --- Leafs / Raptors / Blue Jays / TFC / Argos / Tottenham We'll get 'em next year. |
Bah,
was so tempted to have DK in my expert pick.. and I just made top 10 on
the leaderboard ;_; I hope not too many people ahead of me had DK
winning here. --- "i am pretty sure 3-year old children would generate more thoughtful discussion than board 8 on any topic of sexism" - Naye745 |
Kibago posted... Terra against Cloud-Lightning next contest, please. It's the closest FF6 can get to beating FF7! We saw FFVI beat FFVII earlier this round! --- http://www.gifsoup.com/view/593815/frasier-and-niles-dance-o.gif |
It's kinda weird how two of the biggest upsets this round have been by Kefka and DK. |
Oh,
and I realize this is obvious and no one cares, but today's match
officially buries any hope I had in Nathan Drake > Blue. There is
every reason to believe that Blue can do even worse things to G&W
than we're seeing happen to Falco. So long bracket And curse your freakin' FUN ACCOUNT from keeping me out of the #1 spot, Carvey. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/a4GuDV3.gif |
Man, people really don't care about Star Fox, do they. --- http://gifsoup.com/view/874243/big-boss-o.gif |
Karma Hunter posted... ChenKenichiFan posted...LET ME REMIND YOU: Link can do this exact same thing to Mario. Link isn't making it to the finals this year, courtesy of Luigi. --- Brawl FC - 1332 8069 6690 http://i.imgur.com/OZ9aS.png |
Magus is gonna look so so bad. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
Oh, and yeah. Pikachu might be in some trouble, guys. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
By the way http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3254 This dude beat Glados? Ike>Epona>Glados confirmed --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

There is every reason to believe that Blue can do even worse things to G&W than we're seeing happen to Falco. more like every Smash-only character deboosted to fodder-tier and Blue's actually not worth anything at all! (I don't want this, but it would be hilarious) --- Leafs / Raptors / Blue Jays / TFC / Argos / Tottenham We'll get 'em next year. |
Pikachu's
desperate hope at this point is that Crono can't take the SFF hammer to
Magus because CT SFF isn't as severe these days or Magus gets a
quote/picture boost or... something. Because this is making the fanbase
split look awful, and it's pretty well established at this point that
he's not stronger than Crono (should be). --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
I know you're not happy swordz. --- http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/B8%20Girls%202012/pjbas.png SuperNiceDog - 1, pjbasis - 0 |
KamikazePotato posted... By the way This poll and Falco bombing makes Vincent look a little better since Vinny looked kinda bad relative to Falco in that poll, too...! --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
KamikazePotato posted... By the way That wasn't GLaDOS. That was some white blob that nobody recognized. Gladdy would neurotoxin Falco so bad in 2013. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
woah, what the hell DK. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
Falco is STILL falling somehow how is this happening --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Pikachu
should still be able to win its. Lightning's only match prior to this
was a pre-release respectable loss to Sonic whereas we have grown very
familiar with what Pikachu is capable of doing in these contests. --- The Gamer In Me "Ike and Ash & Co. saw a Yoshi and didn't catch it." - Mer telling us his dream. |
Karma Hunter posted... ChenKenichiFan posted...DKCR came out after the last Character Battle, right? Makes sense that the big ape would enjoy a nice boost. It sold millions and was very well received. What actually happened: Donkey Kong Country Returns's playrate is probably pretty low on this site, probably even lower than Final Fantasy XIII...but the sheer fact that DK got his first major game in years helps out his respect level anyway. So many FFXIII players who were disappointed in the game throw their vote to DK because they heard that he has been resurrected. Well that's just what I think. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
