LinkMarioSamus posted... Not_Wylvane posted...People still think Toon Link hurts Link? Everyone forgets just how divisive Wind Waker was when it first came out, but it's aged well and people are a lot more forgiving and nostalgic for it now. Plus I thought everyone argued that it didn't affect 2003 Link even though he had two non-SFF matches and kinda stunk up the joint in both. Yeah, that sure has been a HUGE factor in these.. --- From: Regaro_Ukiera | MWC is god-tier |
Well it makes sense to me. The only aberration is Cloud in 2004 since he had no notable under-performances. Aside from that: -It explains L-Block flopping in the bonus match and in 2008. -It explains Clinkeroth having to deal with anti-votes. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
LinkMarioSamus posted... Well it makes sense to me. The only aberration is Cloud in 2004 since he had no notable under-performances. Aside from that: No, the lack of cheating does. FF VII has always been anti voted, and Link only gets Anti voted by this board, and only for the first 20 or so seconds. This is a stupid theory, it is not at all based on any logical evidence or fact. Even if you DON'T include the L Block year as Link winning thanks to DQ, Link has won this thing SEVEN!!!! times. Strangely the only time he ever lost legit, was with a WW pic, but no, I'm sure it was people just not wanting a repeat Champion. Wanna explain Magus Link that year to me then? It was WW pics. --- From: Regaro_Ukiera | MWC is god-tier |
Link didn't even get a WW pic against Magus It was like the only match he didn't --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
Then00bAvenger posted... Link didn't even get a WW pic against Magus Hmm, I thought he had it in every 03 match. Ok, that match just goes back to being the wonkiest thing ever then.... --- From: Regaro_Ukiera | MWC is god-tier |

_SecretSquirrel posted... http://www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery/albums/sc2k3/sum03b49.jpg Yeah, that's a WW pic. Kudos to finding a way to **** him over with that **** even in the sprite round. --- From: Regaro_Ukiera | MWC is god-tier |
Link's gonna do fine, I'm not worried. --- @w@ Gamertag: SliceSabre |
Match LXXXIII: (2) Commander Shepard vs. (5) Tharja vs. (20) Aerith Gainsborough Previous Round Commander Shepard – 54.01% Captain Olimar – 29.50% Kain – 16.48% Tharja – 36.21% Tiny Tina – 35.35% Juliet Starling – 28.44% Aerith Gainsborough – 50.98% Hero – 25.76% Rinoa Heartilly – 23.26% Analysis It is quite funny that you can argue that all three characters looked pretty bad last round. Tharja is likely the weakest character to have reached the second round with the exception of a non-rallied Draven. While she may be the sole Nintendo option I do not see it helping her as she is unrecognizable to the average Nintendo fan. At least we get to see how weak that three-pack was. Shepard did not look good last round either, but you could argue a couple of reasons as to why. For one that match was the first match where Olimar did not go up against a Nintendo or Nintendo-like opponent so it was likely he would over perform and second Shepard was given a female Shepard picture which could make him weaker as he is not as recognizable to the average person in that form. Another issue for Shepard is we now have some data as to where Pikachu may have ranked. Using Lloyd he would be expected to get 34.99% against Solid Snake which would have pushed Shepard to 27.28%, roughly the strength of Proto Man and remember that Shepard had Mass Effect 2 released about two weeks before the match and that game had Halo 3-like hype. Of course that was in 2010 and with Garrus getting 45% on Sub-Zero and Wrex winning over Cecil unless you want to argue Shepard is not the strongest in his series it is likely he is stronger now. While we do not have much information on Aerith’s opponents looking at Seifer’s performance I do not think you can call her performance impressive. It is possible Rinoa is stronger than Seifer which can place her at around her 2010 strength. Still watching Knuckles struggling to break 60% on Celes, even in a night match does not give me too much confidence on him and should Knuckles be weaker it makes it less likely for Aerith to be strong. There is two ways at looking at this match, you can look at the past and see a Mass Effect 2 infused Shepard is only equal to Proto Man and even with Mass Effect 3 it will likely not be enough to win or you can look at the present and see Garrus and to a lesser extent Wrex performing well and should Shepard be stronger that does not give Aerith a lot a room to move around. I am going to go with the latter, a 2010 Aerith is not too far from Sub-Zero and I feel Shepard is able to close the gap. Should Aerith be weaker I feel quite confident that Shepard will win. charmander6000’s Bracket: Aerith Gainsborough > Commander Shepard and Juliet Starling charmander6000’s Prediction: Commander Shepard – 45.47%, Aerith Gainsborough – 41.66%, Tharja – 12.87% --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 65/81 Today's Picks: Link and Aerith |
Commander Shepard got this. He should have good base votes and will get the anti-FFVII votes. Tharja will get LPF'd --- https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BMcwhStCYAAr-mC.jpg Dallas Cowboys and Mavs |
For all you know, the winner could just curb-stomp his/her opponent(s) next match. Since it looks like we've all decided that Tharja is likely the weakest character in Round 2, who's second weakest? Mr. Game & Watch? Yoshimitsu? Elizabeth? --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |

people anti vote Aerith? why? because she always win ? >_> I think Aerith wins this one, Shepard is probably weaker than Garrus (honestly I don't know a single ME fan who likes Shepard more than Garrus) --- ... |

Shepard - Crono Garrus - Magus I don't know many people who are CT fans who actually prefer Crono over Magus, yet Crono would destroy him in a match. --- http://i.imgur.com/lnKB0m9.jpg http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1184880/davis-again.gif http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8118/8656607511_94178dbf2e_o.gif |
Achromatic posted... abdou posted...people anti vote Aerith? why? because she always win ? >_> Auron and Vivi are absolute locks. There's probably one or two more I'm missing. (Balthier was stronger than Vaan wasn't he?)Kefka is the strongest FF VI rep, GIlgamesh is the strongest FF V rep. Hell, maybe it is just a FF thing. Although Sub and Scorpion are both higher than Liu Kang Im sure. --- From: Regaro_Ukiera | MWC is god-tier |
abdou posted... people anti vote Aerith? why? because she always win ? >_> I've gone with Shepard. 2k10 Aeris narrowly beats 2k10 Shepard. Shepard has ME3 since then which is probably enough to swing it even if FF7 hasn't declined --- Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time |
2010 Shepard? The one that was extrapolated through Solid S*** vs Pikachu, lol. Aeris is definitely stronger than Shepard by a good deal in 2010, however i am confident in ME3 boost and a potential FF7 decline. --- Zinsanity of the Helix Board |
ZinsanityCraze posted... 2010 Shepard? The one that was extrapolated through Solid S*** vs Pikachu, lol. Yes through Pika/Snake but it's not like we use his raw value. He's been adjusted down accordingly. Using his raw value he wins 52.5/47.5 Lets not forget that 2k10 Aeris is taken through an SFF match and was unadjusted. Most Aeris matches are wonky though. 2k7 was an SFF value and 2k6 was the female bracket. Before that you're in 2k3 doubling Sora territory. --- Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time |
hard to adjust going against Auron though I mean if you think she was SFF'd by him, wouldn't that make her ... stronger? --- "i am pretty sure 3-year old children would generate more thoughtful discussion than board 8 on any topic of sexism" - Naye745 |
If Aerith was SFF by Auron it was not by much. Using a constant Lloyd Shepard was around Proto Man's strength, assuming no SFF 2010 Aerith beats 2010 Shepard 59/41. Shepard has had ME3 since then (though ME2 cooled off), still Garrus and Wrex's performance were pretty good. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 65/81 Today's Picks: Link and Aerith |
Lloyd Shepard --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
So, there is a chance that Link may break 60%, currently 59.94%. --- Warning, the self-destruct system has been activated, all personnel should evacuate immediately, 5 minutes to detonation. |
I'm pretty sure I'm going to stick with Shepard but I just have this sick feeling that it's wrong. Augh. This match. This division. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Having problems on what to do with Draven. He should finish last, but if he finds a way to get first a -18 would be a dead blow. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 65/81 Today's Picks: Link and Aerith |
charmander6000 posted... Having problems on what to do with Draven. He should finish last, but if he finds a way to get first a -18 would be a dead blow. Yeah, that Draven match is making me feel terrible. It should be an easy MMX > Ryu > Draven pick but now I feel like everything is on the table in some way. I disagree that it's a deathblow in Expert if you get a -18 though. I have a really hard time thinking many people flock to Draven in the upper rung of Expert. I'd be more worried/"annoyed" by Ryu > MMX picks coming out way ahead with just a -6. And even then there's still more matches ahead to get ahead. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
if Draven manages first there you may as well have him in the finals. And I just don't see that happening. --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
I
really like matches where I'm not even sure who I'm going to vote for
yet because I love both characters. I'll probably end up voting for
whoever is down at the freeze. (So probably Aeris) --- http://i.imgur.com/CQVaT6Xl.jpg |
Draven
could win that match and lose to Link, MMX/Ryu will be a lot closer
than Link/Shepard so Draven needs less votes to rally. I estimate he needs around 11-12k rallied votes to win, assuming the rallied people do not support MMX at all. It's possible, but the rally needs to start a lot earlier than in round 1. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 65/81 Today's Picks: Link and Aerith |
I
switched to Aerith because I thought "Let me see Shep actually prove
it." Seriously, he has done crap all so far <_<. My expert wants
him TO GET THE JOB DONE. Also Link would brutalize Draven. --- www.dudewheresmyfreedom.com Proud to share the same beliefs as SmartMuffin |
I would go with Aerith but her performance(and FF7 performances in general) has made me nervous --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
So who wins the board vote here? FF7 or WRPG character? --- http://i.imgur.com/lnKB0m9.jpg http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1184880/davis-again.gif http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8118/8656607511_94178dbf2e_o.gif |

Tharja easily --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 65/81 Today's Picks: Link and Aerith |
It'd
be nice to see Tharja win the board vote since she's a lock for last in
the match. I'll be voting for her since I don't care about Aerith and
never played ME. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
