I
think Seph does better than this if Barret and Vincent didn't already
have their matches. I can see Cloud and Tifa similarly having bad
performances due to people getting real sick of FF7 this round. |
Really
hoping Big Boss beats Luigi now despite him not being my preferred
character. I don't think either he or Kirby actually have a shot to beat
Sephiroth, but it's going to be very lame if they don't get a fair
chance to try and instead Sephiroth easily skates by on Nintendo LFF but
probably looks kind of bad in doing so while we get a boring match for
second we already saw in 2006. Hell, Sephiroth deserves the chance to
prove he's still got some game against opponents of decent quality. I
can't imagine his fans want him to get through the contest looking like
THIS. Nintendo fans, Metal Gear fans, Final Fantasy VII fans, and people who just want the possibility of a good match in Round 3 should all vote Big Boss next match. That way everybody wins! --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Tifa's
the one FF7 character I just feel is incapable of looking bad this
round. Shame, as she's my least favorite. Cloud I'm not that confident
in either way, which is why he'll probably be my gauge for the round as I
mentioned earlier. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

Somehow
something stupid is going to happen like Boobs McGee becoming the
strongest FF7 character by the end of this contest, I just know it. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Karma Hunter posted... Somehow something stupid is going to happen like Boobs McGee becoming the strongest FF7 character by the end of this contest, I just know it. Squall gets to the finals alongside Cloud, fodderizes him and defeats Draven. Totally happening folks! |
Karma Hunter posted... We don't have a read on Morrigan since 2002 when she was probably helped out a ton by Mario anti-voting. And we probably still don't have a real read on her lol In all fairness, we did see Spyro once more after that in a vote-in poll, and he didn't look completely horrible or anything, Not that that excuses Sephiroth's performance, but we do have some insight into his popularity. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. |
I'm surprised there hasn't been more Big Boss>Seph talk. I suppose maybe because BB might lose to Luigi, but I doubt that. I think BB should be stronger than Luigi even without Ness there. This appears to be the year of MGS. Do people expect Kirby to hurt BB by splitting the anti-Seph vote? Or maybe finally having 24 hour matches can save FF7. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
If
Big Boss with Snake pictures functions as a Snake proxy, there's a bit
of an argument that Kirby will undercut the SSB contingent of that Snake
proxy. More likely is that Kirby undercuts the bandwagon. He did it in
2008 and almost cost Snake the match against Cloud. If BB can beat Luigi and get that pointing picture, though, we could be in for something. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
I sent a feedback ticket over the Vincent match pic and got this response: "The picture used was the only portait-style picture submitted - all of the other submissions were close-ups of his face. If you want a better match pictures, submit them!" --- Congratulations Solid Snake, our CBIX champion! |
Again,
lame response where he once again deflects blame and acts like he had
no choice but to use it. Bacon has made match pictures when there were
none that were acceptable by the standards he laid out. --- http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/8718/leonflowchart.png |
And
the whole "If you want [insert this here], do it yourself" is coming
across in a very condescending manner, mostly because it's coming across
as blame displacement. --- "So cold. I am always by your side." "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!" |

More likely is that Kirby undercuts the bandwagon. He did it in 2008 and almost cost Snake the match against Cloud. And to add to this, if there's one thing we've learned about Kirby over the years, it's that he absolutely will not fold under any circumstances. He had every reason to fold in Sephiroth/Sonic/Dante and instead he went out and beat Sonic. He had every reason to fold in Cloud/Snake/Seph and held up like a champ. He's .01% away from being the only character not named Link or Cloud to break 45% in every 1-on-1 match he's ever had. Even in losing to L-Block with DK in the match in 2007, Kirby still put up 47% on the Block. If DK isn't there, Kirby likely eliminates L-Block before it has a chance to do anything. Kirby fans are a hardcore bunch. --- http://i.imgur.com/M7vKB.gif |
Can't wait for Kirby to put up 45% on Sephiroth. (man after today that almost looks possible holy christ Seph) --- Fight like dragons, have no fear, swords are made of STEEEEEEEEL~ |

Save_Us.Luigi --- Oh SuperNiceDog's doing it again dude. SuperNiceDog, you ain't no pimp dude |
Y'know,
I can forgive 64% on Morrigan. Whatever, she might well be decent -
stranger things have happened this contest. But 70% on Spyro. That's tough. If Crash doesn't put in a really good showing too I'm abandoning Seph against Big Boss (assuming he wins). --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
LeonhartFour posted... Again, lame response where he once again deflects blame and acts like he had no choice but to use it. Bacon has made match pictures when there were none that were acceptable by the standards he laid out. I just wonder what happens if suit Vincent doesn't get submitted. Does he just take a few minutes to correctly crop some FFVII art like he should have done, or does he take something that's *GASP* not portrait style? --- Agent Triple Zero at your service!

What's up with all these Big Boss > Seph talks, that's just plain wishful thinking. *Looks at results* Wait, only 64% against Morrigan? Go Big Boss!!!! --- Zinsanity of the Helix Board |
Maybe if pic makers didn't suck at their jobs, we wouldn't have Vincent fans using his pic as an excuse for jobbing to Phoenix Wright. If Big Boss wins today, I could easily see both him and Kirby beating Sephiroth. Luigi would have to SFF Kirby hard meanwhile to have a good shot. I'd f***ing love to see Luigi win and beat Sephiroth despite Kirby, of course, but Big Boss is the better choice if you want to see Sephy job it hard. Also, why are people talking about Sonic making the semis when we all know Mewtwo's going to school him and Bowser next round? This isn't just two super-fodder characters and then a horrible pic disadvantage, this is pure strength even without reddit rallies! --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
Even accounting for the picture, FF7 has looked freaking bad this contest. LET'S GO KIRBY --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
This contest is terrible and I will pretend it does not exists, especially when DRAVEN wins it. hopefully we get a 1vs1 contest int the future without the LoL and Touhou etc crap. --- ... |
Heh,
absolutely love that it took Seph 3 and a half hours to finally break
50%. Morrigan showing those SF morning trends though, lol. C'mon gurl,
complete this awesome performance by cutting Seph once, I know you can
do it! :) Also, good show Spyro, anti-votes or not, you appear not to be quite the same garbage anymore. --- Now Playing: Tales of Xillia (Jude Story), Fire Emblem Awakening |
abdou posted... This contest is terrible and I will pretend it does not exists, especially when DRAVEN wins it. I actually like 3-ways. Expert challenge is pretty interesting, adds a lot more difficulty and makes matches which would have been boring (e.g. noble nine vs 2 fodder) interesting. Plus with the setup we had this year I think the final would have been super interesting (Link/Snake/Mario). But now draven kinda wrecked that. I think link would have lost to snake tbh. |
Big Boss over Luigi means he is in the top 5 characters outside of the NN Somehow I doubt it sorry |
Match LXXXIX: (2) Luigi vs. (5) Big Boss vs. (11) Ness Previous Round Luigi 64.69% Balthier Bunansa 23.07% Jade 12.24% Big Boss 74.89% Captain Viridian 13.51% Peacock 11.60% Ness 47.01% Locke Cole 31.83% CATS 21.16% Analysis Pre-contest this match lost some hype because Ness was going to be in the match and could siphon enough votes from Luigi to give Big Boss the win. Ness has been quite unlucky running into Mario characters for a lot of his contest career. He also gets crushed by them too which is good news for Luigi as he will be hurt less by Ness. There is also the chance that he could be SFF even worse than what Bowser or Mario did after how badly Wolf and Falco were crushed which again will be helpful for Luigi. Even with Ness in the poll Luigi always had a chance at winning. For one he has been given a large media campaign and games celebrating his anniversary. Luigi looked very good last round easily beating Balthier by more than what Ryu did in 2010. This could be because people are forgetting Final Fantasy XII, but it could also be a sign of a boost. As impressive as Big Boss looked last round you cannot take much information on crushing fodder. Assuming Luigi did not get a boost I would have taken Big Boss over Luigi in a straight up match. Metal Gear characters have also been looking pretty good, including The Boss which could suggest a boost for Big Boss as well with his big game being Metal Gear Solid 3. I am going to stick with Big Boss, but I feel Luigi can very easily win this match, especially if Ness is reduced to almost nothing. With the way Lightning fell against Donkey Kong I feel Balthier was more of a result of a drop than Luigi becoming a lot stronger. charmander6000s Bracket: Big Boss > Luigi and Ness charmander6000s Prediction: Big Boss 45.73%, Luigi 41.95%, Ness 12.92% --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 74/99 Today's Picks: Sephiroth and Big Boss |
Oh
hot damn, Seph skyrocketed up something fierce. Prior to this match
when I saw the match pic I thought doubling Morrigan would be solid (as I
said, I'm high on Morrigan's strength, I think people really underrate
her), looks like he'll get that. It seems that 24 hour matches might save FF7's bacon after all. The difference between 12 and 24 hours for them never ceases to surprise me. When Seph was only at like 63% hours into the match I didn't expect him to rise this much! I thought the doubling was out of the question, but man, FF7. They rarely fail to look absurdly pitiful early and godlike late. I guess just like everyone else, I never learn! Not_Wylvane posted... Maybe if pic makers didn't suck at their jobs, we wouldn't have Vincent fans using his pic as an excuse for jobbing to Phoenix Wright. Except that the pic maker for Vincent didn't suck at his job, that jackass sabotaged Vincent on purpose. Also, why are people talking about Sonic making the semis when we all know Mewtwo's going to school him and Bowser next round? ...I can't tell if you're being serious or not. But the character who couldn't break 60% on Phoenix Wright isn't beating Sonic. Not unless Bowser LFFs Sonic something fierce. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Couldn't agree more with this. Morrigan is criminally underrated by most and I can't for the life of me work out why. --- Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time |
I thought Sephiroth would be looking a lot better than this. Morrigan and Spyro are making him look pretty bad. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
Swarles_Barkley posted... I sent a feedback ticket over the Vincent match pic and got this response: The even stupider thing is that close-ups of faces isn't too different from what all these other characters are getting. There had to be some really awkward double standard there because SB's excuse makes no damn sense. He's losing it! I blame Touhou. They must have infected his mind. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Mewtwo/Sonic/Bowser is right after Draven kicks Link's ass If Mewtwo doesn't get Link proxy votes,this contest is doomed I grow tired already of pointing out why only Mewtwo can beat Draven But what do I expect..this board underestimate Pokemon for 3 years now,and it's not going to stop anytime soon |

Fighting characters not-named Ryu are typically underrated here. She's very popular within her own genre but most people that don't play fighters here don't seem to grasp that. With that said, she's my favorite VG character and even I didn't envision her looking this good, anti-FF7 votes or no. Glad to see she's going out with a bang. --- Now Playing: Tales of Xillia (Jude Story), Fire Emblem Awakening |
We can't have Mewtwo beat Draven. Think of what it would do to Chester in the x-stats! --- Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time |
ShatteredElysium posted... We can't have Mewtwo beat Draven. Think of what it would do to Chester in the x-stats! Screw Chester The only characters I really care about in this contest are Mega Man characters and Pokemon And X is below Chie The x-stats are ruined and I want a Pokemon character to take revenge for X Even though I like Pokemon I swear i'm being objective about Mewtwo being the only chance (if he gets Link votes,of course) since he is the easiest character to rally |
ShatteredElysium posted... Couldn't agree more with this. Morrigan is criminally underrated by most and I can't for the life of me work out why. Indeed, and people for some reason always want some excuse as to why she did well. e.g. "Oh it's just a TJF pic". As if it's even possible for Morrigan to not have a great pic. (I guess paulg could pull it off...) The worst was "she did well due to Mario anti-votes" way back in the day. Like, really now?? You can use that for Servbot but not Morrigan, she's always been strong. Nanis23 posted... Mewtwo/Sonic/Bowser is right after Draven kicks Link's ass LOL at Mewtwo being the one that can beat Draven :) Underestimating Pokemon? People here have been drinking the Pokemon Kool-Aid all contest! But Metwo? That's crazy talk and nothing more. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Mewtwo
is not even close to being the easiest character to rally...Mario and
Snake are easier to rally for. Mewtwo also lacks the strength to
actually do anything other than fold horribly. Hell Kirby is probably a
better bet. This notion of Mewtwo being our lord and savior is poppycock, friend! ;) --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Underestimate Pokemon? Have you not heard of the term Pokefear --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |
The
strongest argument for Morrigan being not worth much was that it's been
11 years since her only contest match, and it's not like we don't have a
history of female characters (either fighting game OR Capcom) who did
well in 2002, vanished for a while, and came back as far, far weaker
(Kasumi and Claire). I mean, Morrigan was never losing to Spyro, and we still can't really judge anything from this because lol FFVII. --- ~War~ |
Mewtwo wouldn't be so bad of a plan if it weren't for the giant katana in the way. Seph just isn't going to fold like that. --- Agent Triple Zero at your service! The artist formerly known as greatone10. |
I
think I prefer my characters having terrible board votes and constantly
go up through the day. It's always fun seeing FFVII characters
skyrocket after the first hour. --- http://i.imgur.com/CQVaT6Xl.jpg |
creativename posted... ShatteredElysium posted...Couldn't agree more with this. Morrigan is criminally underrated by most and I can't for the life of me work out why. OK,so who? Link will lose in the third round Fourth round it will be Draven/Sonic/Sephiroth(or Luigi and Big Boss if you are crazy enough) Sonic and Sephiroth has no chance to win where Link failed,and Big Boss is a weaker version of Solid Snake-again,no chance Luigi? if Nintendo decides to go crazy and "wow cool Luigi in Gamefaqs character battle during Year of Luigi! let's put a giant ad and ask for people to vote for him!" then yes we got our Draven Killer right here But it won't happen in million years So..Draven advance..and then he meets... Snake/Cloud/Pikachu/Crono/Blue/Sora/Samus/Mario/Squall/Missingno/Red/Megaman/Charizard/Zelda Charizard and Pikachu are stronger than Mewtwo,but at this point if Draven beat Mewtwo easily because everyone decided he is not worth rallying,then Pikachu and Charizard won't get rallied as well The same goes for Red and Blue Squall and Sora are weaker versions of Sephiroth- if he lose,they lose too Mario,Samus and Snake are the last hope - but can they really make it where Link failed...? only Mario,but at this point there is no way Draven fans will let him lose Also-there is the problem I mentioned 1000 times already-YOU CAN'T RALLY FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN POKEMON Just look http://www.reddit.com/r/SonicTheHedgehog/search?q=sonic&sort=relevance&restrict_sr=on&t=all http://www.reddit.com/r/FinalFantasy/search?q=final+fantasy&sort=relevance&restrict_sr=on&t=all http://www.reddit.com/r/metalgearsolid/search?q=Metal+Gear+Solid&sort=relevance&restrict_sr=on&t=all http://www.reddit.com/r/Metroid/search?q=metroid&sort=relevance&restrict_sr=on&t=all http://www.reddit.com/r/Mario/search?q=mario&sort=relevance&restrict_sr=on&t=all And now http://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/search?q=pokemon&sort=relevance&restrict_sr=on&t=all SEE? |
I'm
for the all-of-the-above option when it comes to the attempt to defeat
Draven. Rally Link, and if that fails, rally Mewtwo, and if that fails,
rally Mario. |
I wouldn't want to meet Missingno in a dark alley if I was Draven. --- And I would do anything for bets, but I won't do that! No I won't do that! I am Sir Chris, the Knight that says NICK!!! |
Oh yeah I forgot to mention that if Missingno reach the finals somehow we got ourself a champion But it won't happen because people are tired of "the joke" |
If Missingno/Draven happened Snake/Cloud/(Pikachu?Epona?Hell if I know) is gonna get sub-10%. --- ~War~ |
so the idea is to throw Mewtwo and Mario at Draven if Link fails |
Huh,
before I left I was thinking I was being a bit too hard on Seph and
that he could reach 51% and get to about 65% on Morrigan. I come back to see him near 52% and over 66% on Morrigan. That's something at least! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
