So I just saw the poll for the first time Holy **** what the hell is going on here. --- For your SuperNiceDog. At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza |
MoogleKupo141 posted... So I just saw the poll for the first time Chaos Season. The planets have been thrown into disarray. |
Vincent, if it's okay, could you at least rise enough to not be below Marth's percentage on Phoenix --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Well
if you assume constant Marth and leave Vincent at his raw 2k10 value,
Vincent is only projected to 56/44 Phoenix. (32.68 for Vincent vs 28.5
ish for Phoenix) It's actually not that crazy to think that Vincent could have dropped say ~3 ish and then the pic is dragging him down another ~2-3 making Phoenix beat him. EDIT: Not 60/40, calculating wrong. But yeah, basically you can actually have this make sense via the x-stats. Well apart from the Mewtwo godstomp. --- Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time |
Karma Hunter posted... Vincent, if it's okay, could you at least rise enough to not be below Marth's percentage on Phoenix OK, this is ridiculous enough at this point that I just have to laugh and finally start smiling at this result. You did it, Phoenix. You're legit! Gonna go give Cornered Cadenza a listen to celebrate, he's earned it. |
Yeah I guess this match does make sense if you assume Sephiroth is incapable of SFFing Vincent yep yepppp --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Karma Hunter posted... Yeah I guess this match does make sense if you assume Sephiroth is incapable of SFFing Vincent Sephiroth being exposed for a fraud! Can't even SFF a guy who's losing to Phoenix! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Karma Hunter posted... Yeah I guess this match does make sense if you assume Sephiroth is incapable of SFFing Vincent ... ... ... Yes. This is so good. YES. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA |
Wait...if Vincent's been hiding a decline... YES! This means that 2008 isn't an anomaly! Crono really hasn't been Noble Nine tier since blowing the lead to Sonic in 2006! --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
This contest is hilariously ridiculous. --- "Thank you, thank you, no applause necessary, just send money..." |
I'm going to be so crushed if/when Crono just doesn't even put up a fight. Do we have a way to spin this match into good news for Crono? we must. there's always a way --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
...Actually, I just went and checked. Even SFF'd,
Vincent is supposed to 60-40 2010 Phoenix. In other words, not only has
Phoenix boosted, not only has Vincent dropped, the combined drop and
boost are so massive that they've generated a 20% turnaround. Or should I say...Turnabout. HOLD IT! |
Vincent
also blew Zelda out of the water in the same year he beat Crono. It
would be a lot to hide the declines in 07/08, they faced too many
characters. 2010 is a different story. Edit: Though if he'd weakened a bunch in 2010, Ganondorf's performance on Guybrush this year becomes positively chumptastic by that measurement. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Karma Hunter posted... Vincent also blew Zelda out of the water in the same year he beat Crono. It would be a lot to hide the declines in 07/08, they faced too many characters. Most importantly, Pikachu was in the 2008 match. If Vincent's a fraud, and Crono's by extension a fraud...cue the dramatic segue... xp1337 posted... I'm going to be so crushed if/when Crono just doesn't even put up a fight. ...Then Pikachu is a fraud too. And we're right back to having a debatable match! (By extension this means 2010 Snake is a fraud and so is Squall though. Contest of Frauds!) |
Guybrush was probably stronger in 2010 too, that was around the time of all those Monkey Island releases. Smurf's badass decline theory in operation, clearly. -_- --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
Yeah,
to go back to being serious again (increasingly hard for me in this
contest now) I think using this match to call for Crono's doom is a bit
hasty. Vincent looked okay back when Crono had matches with him, so Vincent dropping off now isn't some kind of death knell for him. I mean, I'd prefer Vincent to not drop, but if I wanted to point to warning signs on Crono it's always going to be Missingno first. But dealing with Missingno ugh. But who knows, I'm so biased in Crono's favor here. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
I
just don't know how this looks for the Pokemon at large. On the one
hand... thrashing Vincent Valentine. Thrashing him, pic factor or not.
Making a statement that he could win a picture even match. ...and on the other, Phoenix Wright breaking 40% on you. Broke GFNW. Barely got 55% on Marth. I DON'T KNOW --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

In other words, not only has Phoenix boosted, not only has Vincent dropped, the combined drop and boost are so massive that they've generated a 20% turnaround. Or should I say...Turnabout. Well we know Phoenix's boost is considerable. Going off Marth 2k8: 57/43 to Marth 2k10: 51/49 to Marth 2K13: 55/45 to Phoenix That's a decent sized swing if Marth has stayed constant. --- Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time |

Or should I say...Turnabout. of course Phoenix has boosted But Marth is and has always been awful, and letting anyone who could barely break 55% on him do this well on you is concerning. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
I voted for whoever that guy in the middle is, with the Japanese fashion hairstyle. How many rounds have bonus polls after them? Theoretically if it was all of them you could "repair" the lol x-stats by running Link / Shep / X, etc. as if the Draven rally didn't happen. --- ... as if rights are like muscles - the more you use it, the better it gets.

Making a statement that he could win a picture even match. Oh I don't think this is that impressive by Mewtwo at all. This is all Keanu Reeves Valentine. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Should only be a bonus poll after this round and the end of the contest. Bonus polls are only happening because with an odd number of matches per round and 12 hour matches we always end a round in the middle of the day. We won't have that happening after we switch to 24 hour matches. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |

In other words, not only has Phoenix boosted, not only has Vincent dropped, the combined drop and boost are so massive that they've generated a 20% turnaround. Or should I say...Turnabout. Decent? If Marth stayed constant, that means Phoenix doesn't just cleanly win a match with Jecht, he comfortably wins over Tidus, he beats up 2010 Mewtwo, defeats Red, Alucard and Falcon, and is a projected to give a close match to Sub Zero. It means Phoenix has roided enormously...and Mewtwo is now a near-elite of Luigi's caliber. ...Man, on one hand I so want it to be true that Phoenix could possibly be above Sub-Zero, but on the other hand, doing that by putting Mewtwo over Luigi...that cost is so high. |
ZenOfThunder posted... http://i.imgur.com/eaH1app.png I hope he does. That pic is beautiful, Zen. |
Thanks, I'm gonna work on the levels and stuff before I submit it they're out of order and there's no names and it's technically not "fair" but what about a Draven match is "fair" anyway --- ~Zen |
This is definitely because of the picture. --- nt |
Man, I so called one of Karma's craziest upsets being true. --- "i am pretty sure 3-year old children would generate more thoughtful discussion than board 8 on any topic of sexism" - Naye745 |

In other words, not only has Phoenix boosted, not only has Vincent dropped, the combined drop and boost are so massive that they've generated a 20% turnaround. Or should I say...Turnabout. Well if you use Marth as the baseline 2k10 Adjusted Vincent gets 67.8% 2k13 Mewtwo gets 64.5% (going through current score on Phoenix) 2k10 Raw Vincent gets 61% 2k13 Phoenix gets 55% 2k13 Vincent gets errr 50%?

I actually just noticed the picture and had no idea that was even VV. Are we chalking it up to picture? --- "i am pretty sure 3-year old children would generate more thoughtful discussion than board 8 on any topic of sexism" - Naye745 |
MarioSuperstar posted... I actually just noticed the picture and had no idea that was even VV. The fact that VV's getting nearly doubled by Mewtwo and smashed by Phoenix, probably. I mean it would have felt so nice to score this upset cleanly but this is the worst kind of feeling, I have no happiness now :( --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
ZenOfThunder posted... Thanks, I'm gonna work on the levels and stuff before I submit it I wish there was a way to take out Shepard, because a shot of Link going mano a mano with Draven would be great. Also, as payment for that beautiful pic, have a crappy little something inspired by it. I remembered the credo from another sci-fi setting, and it seemed to go too well not to mix it together with GameFAQS' last bastion. http://i.imgur.com/dIUD1Lk.jpg |

Regarding
Vincent's board vote. Is it possible he's had a non-terrible board vote
because the anti-voters didn't recognize him? Although, I would expect
people who vote during the board vote to do the slight bit of extra work
to find out he's FF7's Vincent so maybe this doesn't make sense. --- Pokemon VGC2013 US National - 39th place Pokemon VGC2013 Worlds LCQ - Top 32 |
Who are the idiots that t-down the reddit rally? OK I was not mad before when Draven owned X who is one of my most liked characters but im mad now I don't care how much pic sabotaged Vincent got,he was supposed to be the clear favorite and some "elites" laughed at everyone that said "Mewtwo>Vincent" This is actually happening and might happen even with fine picture for Vincent But we want to check the power of reddit,and instead some people FROM HERE doesn't want it to happen Fine,go on,go cry again when Draven beat the whole contest Go and cry that reddit is not fair,when you could use it to your advantage but refused This is trully annoys me because the people that try to destroy the rally are from this board LoL fans don't care about other matches so it's not them |

That's hilarious "If you don't like it, rally" "No it's not as easy/won't be as good!" --- "Hey guys I put up a rally for us" "*Downvote it*" Somebody does the work for you and people'd still rather sulk and complain. --- SEP Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

Next contest I'm going to try to get Shen in just so I can rally with "Time to stand united with Shen." --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
I'm
actually more displeased with this than the Draven rally - that's
something the contest rules tell you has the potential to happen right
off the bat, and if it is I may dislike it, but so be it. But a rigged result like this is poor form. It's like Bacon sticking a thumb in the eye of the fans. And now I'll never really know if my crazy upset would have 100% pulled it off in a fair match! --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

Marth
is a Smash leech that gets some votes from his games, but probably not
much. The older FE games with Marth in them never came to America, they
basically suck these days, and nobody has played them. Even people going
back through the Japan-only games with ROMs and translation patches
generally just skip Marth's games and go straight to FE4 or later. The
Shadow Dragon remake on DS came out in the west but it also sucked and
was VERY negatively received by the fanbase and has the ratings and
reviews to prove it. It might have even hurt him; in addition to the
game sucking, Marth is pretty boring there, he's a required unit but
pretty bad at combat, and "that guy from Melee and Brawl" might very
well have preferable. The Smash connection was a good draw for many people getting into Fire Emblem when FE7 first came to the west a decade ago, but I don't get the sense that anyone in the non-Japanese FE fanbase cares about Marth at this point. The only game we've gotten with Marth in it sucked. All he's got is the "Are Marth and Roy in this game?" joke meme. Ness being about equal to Marth would not surprise me in the slightest. Pretty sure the FE fanbase is bigger than Earthbound's, but at least the Earthbound fanbase cares about their guy. Which means Phoenix is about equal to...2010 Big Daddy. Joy for Phoenix. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
SnoicFactor posted... Whelp, I'm happy that Sonic will sail on through next round. ...Sonic was never in danger. If anything, this might be more dangerous because Pokémon is "more independent" than console Nintendo, even though Sonic is Sega, people still think it's an SFF situation between Sonic and Bowser. Even before this match, Vincent was only beating Bowser because Sonic was there. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
