aww yeah round 2 starts in under 5 hours! ....with Link murdering as usual |
Well,
a Link beasting is interesting to see at least. He may have recovered
from his 2010 down year (insomuch as Link can have a down year) or may
be even more off. This match won't be that reliable (thanks Yoshi), but
at least it's not pure SFF like half his 2010 matches were. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

creativename posted... Holy mother of god these vote totals... 3000 behind Lugia's match, which had the lowest votals of round 1 (as a night match, too!) |
I'm still kind of amazed this poll is a thing maybe it will scare away all the Link fans and he'll lose tomorrow --- Fight like dragons, have no fear, swords are made of STEEEEEEEEL~ |

Nintendo and Square still making up over half of the remaining total! |
So anyone wanna play a game of guessing the Quotes for round 2? Mario: "It's-a me, Mario!!" Bowser: "Did somebody page the king of awesome?" or "Kidnapping Peach? Oh, that is so completely my move!" Luigi: "I'm-a Luigi, number one!" Crono: "..." [obviously] Magus: "The black wind howls..." Frog: I'd think "Lower thine guard and thou'rt allowing the enemy in", but that's way too long. Dracula: "What is a man?" Morrigan: "It's rough sometimes...Just stay on your back." Sephiroth: Maybe something about "Puppets" or "Mother!!" Cloud: "Let's mosey." Tifa: "Dilly-dally, shilly-shally" Sonic: "You're too slow!" --- |
creativename posted... So anyone wanna play a game of guessing the Quotes for round 2? It's the quotes from the character descriptions. Unfortunately, most of those quotes are horrible. --- Hey I just met you, and this is crazy, but you have died of dysentery. |

Yoshi/Luigi/Bowser would be an expert death match. How on Earth do you predict that? --- "i am pretty sure 3-year old children would generate more thoughtful discussion than board 8 on any topic of sexism" - Naye745 |
Luigi>Bowser>Yoshi Bowser's beaten Yoshi, newly-improved Luigi has beaten Bowser. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Squall "Whatever..." |
Yoshi > Bowser > Luigi because why not. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 64/80 Today's Picks: Charizard |
I
think Yoshi's lost a step, anyway. His results in 2008 were pretty bad,
and he had a pretty underwhelming Round 1 performance this year. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Some of the quotes from the character descriptions might be too long, although I suppose they might just be truncated. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. |
I
think Yoshi's at the bottom of the Luigi/Bowser/Yoshi trio but, uh, I'd
be real scared of him in a triple threat all-Nintendo match like that.
That's the kind of wacky mixing that I could see him come on top in -
it's not like we don't have precedence. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Luigi > Bowser > Yoshi looks right. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Does this match just proves how much lol the "lol xstats" can be...? Someone gave the example that according to this,Mewtwo triples Zidane Of course it might not happen in a real contest because the more rounds= the more accrurate the stats and a match between 3 uber fodder will never happen (can happen if a weak character gets overseeded and face against 2 low seeds that are week,but chances are low) |
I'm looking at the round 2 matches and... I'm scared. I think my bracket is going to waste after this round. |
Yes,
the extrapolated standings are just a guideline - and things can easily
mess them up. Most people know this. Heck, even in matches that look
super clean the x-stats might not be reliable. Magus got 35% on Link for
reasons we're still not really sure about, in a direct match! --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

Everyone who was extrapolated through Magus was strong in 2003 and then they all weakened equally I like this theory --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Ganondorf didn't weaken equally <_<. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
3353 votes behind the Lugia match! |
Achromatic posted... Ganondorf didn't weaken equally <_<. He did if you go by Alucard in 2004 - he actually only got a touch more on Alucard than Sora did the next year. He's just hidden by Link SFF. Ganondorf boosted in 2005 with the rest of the Nintendo crew, which helped to obscure his overrating for a time. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
KamikazePotato posted... Despite it being a day match, Raiden was killing Waluigi in all the time zones where a rally wasn't taking place. If you remove the rally, then his result gets pretty close to what Shepard got on Olimar. I think it's a sneakily impressive result that should prove itself tomorrow. I don't think that's true. Did some quick math right now....I took out votes from the first two hours of the match (when the rally was in effect) and compared both characters from 2:00 PM onward. Raiden only got something like 57% against Waluigi. That's a pretty terrible performance again Waluigi. --- Drop it to the floor... |
I wouldn't take Waluigi at much face value anyway. He stood out even more in that match than Raiden is in this upcoming one. http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/albums/cb9/5144.jpg really waluigi --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

The rally was ongoing for the entire day, it was just more pronounced during the start. I was paying attention to that rallying thread of theirs and it was still getting decent number of replies towards the end of the match. --- Zinsanity of the Helix Board |
"Really Waluigi" sounds like a sitcom I would give all of my money to see created. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/gdl8lcn.jpg |
oh no I just realized it if Link brings his A game there's a half decent chance Waluigi ends up above Yoshi in the final stats --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
That
would have to be a real SFF mauling. He can do it, but the
circumstances of tomorrow's match are a little different. Link is going
to win and win easily. The real match is the one for second, and the
Nintendo fanbase may give Yoshi a little extra love because of that. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/NQTthNf.jpg |
The Nintendo fanbase refused to give Mario
enough love to stop Link from SFFing him below Crono. Heck if Mario had
been able to hold it together just slightly more than he does 1v1 he
could have contested for second in that match. I don't deny SmartVoterFAQs could do it, but I am having trouble with that kind of faith in GameFAQs' learning curve. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Yoshi is beating Raiden tonight. Why? Because I believe. I'd also take Yoshi in Luigi/Bowser/Yoshi, because Yoshi has show the ability to resist Mario SFF more than any other character. see: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/2328 --- SC2K13 Bracket: Kefka hate hate hate hate hates my bracket! Oracle: Team Frog and Magus |
I'm
glad Raiden won last round, but I would still greatly enjoy seeing
Link/Yoshi/Waluigi. Tingle pulled a "miracle" against Link by taking
SFF better than Ganondorf, but I doubt Waluigi could hold up as well
while Yoshi saps at his Mario-support. --- T H E S T A B L E - bring on Epona! http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |
Nanis23 posted... Does this match just proves how much lol the "lol xstats" can be...? Fodder characters vary in strength much more than stronger characters. Their stats are notoriously unreliable - with some exceptions (eggplant CATS was surprisingly constant in those early contests). Even after all these years, we still haven't seen changes that drastic to the Noble Nine. They've had their ups, downs, boosts and de-boosts, but for the most part these movements are relatively marginal. Achromatic posted... Karma Hunter posted...Yes, the extrapolated standings are just a guideline - and things can easily mess them up. Most people know this. Heck, even in matches that look super clean the x-stats might not be reliable. Magus got 35% on Link for reasons we're still not really sure about, in a direct match! Chrono Trigger sprites + Bible Link + Magus actually being worth a damn that year. I think the reasons for that performance are pretty clear cut. edit: I mean just look at this picture. Not surprising Magus overperformed here! www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/albums/sc2k3/sum03b49.jpg |

Heck if Mario had been able to hold it together just slightly more than he does 1v1 he could have contested for second in that match. I understand that, but Mario's percentage relative to Link - not just Crono - was abysmal.

(this discussion is so stupid) anyway update before the last one pulled in 62 votes, we're now 4200 behind that Lugia match and counting |
creativename posted... Holy mother of god these vote totals... This match is looking like it will finish around 16000 votes. That would be about 14000 votes in a night match and 24000 votes in a 24-hour match. At least these vote totals aren't as bad as this poll: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/4965 That was the worst poll we ever had and it was a 24-hour poll. At first, I wasn't sure if it was going to break 10000 votes since there only 989 votes at the end of the first hour. The poll managed to break 10000 votes with about 30 minutes left in the poll. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
