superange128 posted... MegatokyoEd posted...Falco seems like someone who can do decent if he's the only Nintendo character in the poll. That's about where I would expect Falco to be regardless. Who would actually pick him over Gordon and Scorpion in a 1vs1? --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
Falco
did good against Vincent in 2008 once, but looking at KOS-MOS this year
that just seems horribly fraudulent now. Dude couldn't even beat
Scorpion in the next round despite being the sole Nintendo option. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
I
still think Pikachu looks just fine. Nintendo fans like and will
mobilize around Pikachu, whereas the same seems decidedly untrue for
Lightning. People are throwing a party about her loss. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/NQTthNf.jpg |

Karma Hunter posted... kinsho3 posted...I think this match makes Luigi/Big Boss a helluva lot more interesting. Ness is going to die as soon as that first vote gets counted. My intuition always told me Big Boss is stronger than originally thought. However, even if he isn't, it being a night match will still tip the scales in BB's favor anyway! --- Drop it to the floor... |
Looks like Lightning won't strike twice. --- The official rad dude of the Pokemon X board. |
kinsho3 posted... Karma Hunter posted...It's about seeing DK *threatened*. They're not looking at the score before they vote. They see a Nintendo representatives and a Square representative, and vote for the strongest Nintendo representative to ensure that character's victory. We even see it in matches like Dante/Leon, which is actually a 52/48 match in its cleanest setting. But when Dante gets threatened, Leon voters abandon him to save Dante. Some do, but many do not. The weaker characters do hurt the stronger ones *some*, after all, but time and again we see these huge SFF distortions when the stronger characters get challenged. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Why does everyone think BB/Luigi is a night match. It's a day match. --- http://i.imgur.com/32RNLnc.gif |
TheKoolAidShoto posted... Karma Hunter posted...kinsho3 posted...I think this match makes Luigi/Big Boss a helluva lot more interesting. Ness is going to die as soon as that first vote gets counted. aw yiss I actually took Link. But I'd gladly burn my bracket even if I was #1 on the last day to see this happen --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
ChenKenichiFan posted... I still think Pikachu looks just fine. Nintendo fans like and will mobilize around Pikachu, whereas the same seems decidedly untrue for Lightning. People are throwing a party about her loss. It's not about what the Nintendo fanbase will do - we know they're voting Pika. It's about whether Crono can muster up that distorted SFF. You're dealing with much stronger characters, but it's the same principle. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Sorozone posted... Why does everyone think BB/Luigi is a night match. It's a day match. Wait....it's a day match???? Crap....why do I still assume Round 2 starts off in the day instead of the night? Welp....Big B has his work cut out for him. --- Drop it to the floor... |
I
still think there's a nontrivial chance Big Boss beats Luigi and Ness
combined or close to it. Dude's very possibly stronger now and nearly
did it against Kirby, Jinjo, and Lucas combined. Let's not forget that
he still opened up that can of ultra-destruction while Jinjo and Lucas
were busy folding harder than any Nintendo characters have possibly
folded, ever. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
kinsho3 posted... Sorozone posted...Why does everyone think BB/Luigi is a night match. It's a day match. This does depend on whether Luigi can or can't SFF Ness into the dirt, though... --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance!

Thank God round 2 starts soon. |
turbopuns posted... Thank God round 2 starts soon. Indeed. All that's left to see is whether Charizard will BOMB or not... --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
Big Boss can't beat the Year of Luigi --- 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. |
Also
don't have a good read on Luigi from last time 'cause of that danged
Link/Luigi SFF. Everyone in the Luigi/Yoshi/Bowser/Kirby logjam is
involved in wonkiness that means they can't be measured reliably
(Link/Luigi SFF, Missingno, Charizard, *and* Link/Sonic SFF). --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
if Luigi can't SFF Ness into the ground, Earthbound voters=dumb voters CONFIRMED |
It
being a day match doesn't bode too well for Big Boss and Ness certainly
won't hold up well to Luigi's SFF, but mark my words, Big Boss will
win. --- The cycle of life and death continues. We will live. And they will die. |
Oh OH LETS GO DK --- Oh SuperNiceDog's doing it again dude. SuperNiceDog, you ain't no pimp dude |
also, Magus quote factor activates, resists SFF, Crono is screwed in the day with PokeFEAR consider it CALLED (haha) |
As
far as this match goes, I think DK definitely boosted. It's hard for me
to believe he didn't after a game like DKCR. Those are the types of
games that can do wonders for characters like DK. Lightning dropped, for
sure, but I don't think you can really look at this as the same DK.
People thought DK was more likely to lose to Falco than win here, after
all. This does make me more confident in Luigi, too, who is also probably working on stronger level than usual. Don't think BB could handle him 1v1, so the lower Ness goes the better. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
I don't know why you guys are making assumptions for other SFF matches with strong characters. This is clearly a case of both Lightning and Falco being worthless. --- SuperNiceDog won the Guru contest super nicely! |
Using a SFF'd Falco Mario is expected to get 61.94% on Donkey Kong Donkey Kong near elite confirmed --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 63/78 Today's Picks: Zelda and Lightning |
Now use this performance against Lightning's similar performance against Sonic --- F*** BT |
SuorGenoveffa posted... I don't know why you guys are making assumptions for other SFF matches with strong characters. Ness Magus so strong. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
Achromatic posted... SuorGenoveffa posted...I don't know why you guys are making assumptions for other SFF matches with strong characters. Yes but Big Boss is not Lightning. And I trust Magus to be worth more than Falco ffs. --- SuperNiceDog won the Guru contest super nicely! |
Ness
is a low midcarder. People would be a lot more worried about that match
if, say, Ike or Captain Falcon were there. Luigi is only getting a
relative free pass because Ness tends to die when there's other Nintendo
around, but he's still not an anchor Luigi wants to have, not by a
longshot. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
SuorGenoveffa posted... Achromatic posted...SuorGenoveffa posted...I don't know why you guys are making assumptions for other SFF matches with strong characters. And Crono should be worth more than DK. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
LinkMarioSamus posted... SuorGenoveffa posted...Achromatic posted...SuorGenoveffa posted...I don't know why you guys are making assumptions for other SFF matches with strong characters. Of course I meant relative to Crono, duh. --- SuperNiceDog won the Guru contest super nicely! |
poor Falco, sorry you had to die like this. But either way, **** YEAH DK --- Oh SuperNiceDog's doing it again dude. SuperNiceDog, you ain't no pimp dude |
what percentage do you guys think Crono would get on Pikachu 1v1, anyway? |
Ughhh. I hate it when Board 8 talks me out of what was an easy match based on my first instinct. Admittedly, this is the first such match out of like 8 or so similar matches this contest where my first instinct was actually correct, but it's still rather annoying. --- This is my signature. |
It's the weather man effect, you tend to remember the times where we did you wrong. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 63/78 Today's Picks: Zelda and Lightning |
Let's play the blaming game again. Stupid board 8 telling me Lightning would beat LFFd DK, blah blah blah. --- The cycle of life and death continues. We will live. And they will die. |
I blame charmander. When has he been right in debated matches this year? Why do I keep following his advice? argh --- F*** BT |
I know, when was the last time I got a debated first place match right? Mr. Game & Watch and even then I took Lee in my bracket. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 63/78 Today's Picks: Zelda and Lightning |
Lightning Strikes posted... swordz meltdown? Nah. If you want a meltdown talk to Chris about Cecil not getting 1st in STATS in SMFFFC. I heard he took it so bad he considered it a personal failure or something. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
1337gamerpr0 posted... what percentage do you guys think Crono would get on Pikachu 1v1, anyway? Assuming Crono has weakened to the point that I thought he would pre-contest, about 58% was what I expected (roughly what Zero is expected to get on him assuming Lloyd = Kratos, coincidentally). Then cut a handful of percent for a day match and throw in Magus leeching to give Pikachu the win. The first part may bear true if Crono has dropped enough, but it may not matter if he can drain Magus's corpse enough to prevent the win. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Oh, but assuming Crono hasn't dropped and is still at his more traditional 06-08 levels, um... he'll be at like 63% on Pikachu. 'whoops' --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Wow,
both Lightning and Sackboy really bombed the last two days. They both
got new games, but they turned out to be even weaker than before. And Falco... sheesh. Remember DK/Marth/Kratos/(fodder)? Marth broke 40% on DK. I thought Falco would fare at least as well. I even thought Falco might be able to scrape by DK for 2nd. WHOOPS. It seems any Star Fox character not named "Fox" is just that bad against any Nintendo character. Hmm, what if the Star Fox franchise weakened? Probably not, but it's an excuse to say Blue isn't as strong as he appears (I wish). Not that Drake has a very good shot regardless..... I'll go and rank 'em: Midna Marth Peach Falco Ridley --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those! It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." |
Is
there a list anywhere that can show me the 20 or so characters with the
most wins in contest history (preferably including villains, but not
rivals)? Thanks |
**** yeah DK, glad to see he's finally winning something by a good margin --- http://i.imgur.com/GhorUQg.jpg ~Masa |
Crimson Dragoon posted... I can buy a bit of a boost, DKCR and all, but not through the roof. This is hardly unique. We see pre-game hype boost exceed post-release boosts ALL the time. --- http://gifsoup.com/view/477513/red-vs-blue-road-rage-part-1-o.gif http://gifsoup.com/view/477534/red-vs-blue-road-rage-part-2-o.gif |
If
this were an hour earlier, this could have been interesting. Not even
DK can choke away a 1.2k vote lead with the votals this low. |
Karma Hunter posted... 1337gamerpr0 posted...what percentage do you guys think Crono would get on Pikachu 1v1, anyway? Hmm, Crono getting 58% on Pikachu seems scarily high. Crono/Lavos got barely 41% on Liquid/Solid in 2011 while Pikachu got 45% on Snake in 2010. Granted, Pikachu got a huge pic advantage, while Lavos could be pulling Crono down, but still. I think a related question is what Crono would get on Snake right now in a fair 1 vs 1 setting. |
homsar555 posted... Is there a list anywhere that can show me the 20 or so characters with the most wins in contest history (preferably including villains, but not rivals)? Not sure such a list exists, but I could probably hazard a guess at most of them (in no particular order). 1-9. The Noble Nine 10. Squall 11. Bowser 12. Ganondorf 13. Kirby 14. Luigi 15. Dante 16. Ryu 17. Auron 18. Yoshi 19. Sora 20. Vincent/Tifa Not sure if Vincent or Tifa make it since they've missed so many contests, but those should be your top 20ish, give or take. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
Actually,
after Vincent's deep runs in 2005, 2007, and 2008, he should be on the
list, even given the fact that he was one-and-done in 2006 and 2010. --- http://gifsoup.com/view/477513/red-vs-blue-road-rage-part-1-o.gif http://gifsoup.com/view/477534/red-vs-blue-road-rage-part-2-o.gif |
