I'm almost always a pragmatist. It's why I don't make a very good sports fan. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/a4GuDV3.gif |
creativename posted... ZFS posted...ExThaNemesis posted...why do you people like luigi so damn much Big Boss and Solid Snake are different in terms of personality/development as well though Big Boss in MGS3 starts out fine but with stuff that happens to the Boss and to see what he becomes in MGS5/MG1 is an obvious downward spiral into REVENGE Snake on the other hand starts pretty grumpy due to his experiences in MG1/2 but thanks to Otacon/Meryl/his other helpers he starts to use his love of fighting for good purposes in MGS2/4 --- Want any VNs pre-patched?

BOSS SAUCE! --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima SuperNiceDog: Bracket: Good, Taste: Bad |
Damn Ness being in this match. Just voted Luigi and noticed he's 1 vote away from Big Boss. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
The difference between Solid Snake and Big Boss is that Snake is a good character while BB is a bad character --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
I
feel we could be in for a votal explosion in the range of Mario/Cloud,
just on Gamefaqs, before even accounting for Draven's rallying. That
would help Link, if it happens. In any case, I don't think Draven can come anywhere near a tripling; would not expect his rally to grow any bigger. I think Link is likely to break 40%, actually. Now, winning- that's very hard. But I'd still put Link's probability of winning at 10-20%. All sorts of unexpected things can happen. That's what I tell the people who say every year that Link has a 99% chance of winning every contest for the next 10 years. Nope- more like 80% chance of winning the very next year! --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Not sure how this ends up but Ness probably saved me because I probably would have gone for Big Boss > Luigi 1v1 as an upset! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
curse you luigi --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Is this going to be one of those matches. --- 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!!! |

Year of Luigi! |
Not
a problem, BB, just the expected spike after a lead change. Pull the
reversal and keep pummeling him. Stamina is the key here - he can't keep
up a fight too much longer. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Patience...... --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Objectivity is for squares. I will not let THE TRUTH be silenced! Also, which one of you is stuffing for Luigi. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
I wish Luigi could get himself a championship. He can't be in Mario's shadow forever. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
Interesting.
I did switch to BB in my expert but my bracket has Luigi even with Ness
there, I think this match proves that Luigi is now a step above the
Kirby/Bowser/Yoshi circle. --- Fine! I'll go to the store and get your Goddamn drain cleaner! Character Battle IX Tingle Victory Parade - the journey is over.... |
Link
is going to be lucky to break 30% unless the theory someone posted on
the board about Draven's massive vote increase in round 2 being the
result LoL being down during the match is true. |
Awyeah, Big Boss. --- ~ The Dilated One IX: Link-VV-BB-SS-Cloud-Sora-Samus-Mario-Zard |
Not sure how this ends up but Ness probably saved me because I probably would have gone for Big Boss > Luigi 1v1 as an upset! Same and with The Boss looking so good yesterday too I was even more confident with that pick --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 74/99 Today's Picks: Sephiroth and Big Boss |
Funny
thing is that while Link is clearly at his weakest in his contest
career, next round we will see the strongest Link we'll have ever seen.
The Gamefaqs community will rally unanimously behind the LAW - Nintendo
fans, Square fans, WRPG fans, everyone. Shepard would probably be at 30% on Link normally but he'll be lucky to get 15% on Link here, good chance he'll fall to single digits on Link. And yet Link will still probably lose handily. Blargh. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
I wish we could rally Shepard instead D: --- Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time |

Hey
Big Boss has a lot of time to look impressive! Still in the Power Hour,
in the middle of the day! I got faith in a 24 hour match 1v1 so far believe --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
I don't think it'll be that different. Ryu wound up right about where we expected against Mega Man X. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/NQTthNf.jpg |
And that's why they call him Big Boss. He is a dosu. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
Could this be the end? --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak |
ChenKenichiFan posted... I don't think it'll be that different. Ryu wound up right about where we expected against Mega Man X. X actually got 58% on Ryu, which is a pretty fantastic result for him. It's what the actual Mega Man got on him. By the way, now that we've seen Mega Man character unanimously rock the house, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Ike might have actually impressed in his match. If we had seen every other MM-related result before that match, I probably would've switched to Proto Man in my expert bracket. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Big Boss Power Hour over. Time for The Nation of Nintendomination to rise. --- ~War~ |
Luigi is..crazy Ever since he beat Zero,i'm afraid of him I don't think it's an exaggeration to say he is top 5 strongest character after the Noble Nine |
Okay,
let's look at what Link can expect. I'm going to assume that he can
temporarily boost back up to his 2008 strength with GameFAQs uniting
around him and all the anti-votes vanished. This is a big help, because
2008 Link goes like 56/44 with current Link. Link got 40.28% against Mario + MMX + Zack. And this was a Zack who was worth 30% on 2k8 Link at the time- i.e. stronger than Ryu. Give 75% of Mario's votes to Link and Link gets 56.53% against MMX + Zack. 75% might be a bit too high, but then, 2k8 Zack is also stronger than Ryu, so overall, that's probably a pretty good estimate. Now, Draven got 66.52% against MMX + Ryu, in a night match. He was sinking very fast towards the end of the poll, so let's assume he would have gotten 64% in a 24 hour poll. Then Link is projected to get 41.41% on Draven. The vast majority of Shepard's votes are going to be coming out of Link's, unfortunately, so we have to adjust him down a bit- let's say 40-41%. So I think Link has a great shot of getting 40% on Draven. To win, he needs a combination of downvoting of Draven's rallies, his own rallying, and a general GameFAQs votal explosion a la Mario/Cloud to be enough to make up a 60/40 gap. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |

KamikazePotato posted... ChenKenichiFan posted...I don't think it'll be that different. Ryu wound up right about where we expected against Mega Man X. Ike did about as expected in his match. Proto Man has to be one of the strongest characters to never win a match. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
red sox 777 posted... Fact or Fiction: Link/Draven breaks 150,000 votes. Pretty sure that will definitely happen. Draven's round 2 match was definitely going to break 120000 votes if it had ran for 24 hours. And there will also be rallies for Link as well, so that makes 150000 possible. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

swordz9 posted... I wish Luigi could get himself a championship. He can't be in Mario's shadow forever. Okay, while it wouldn't quite be the same as a true chmapionship, here's what we should do some time. Put all of the Noble Niners on one side of the bracket and fill out the rest of that side of the bracket with fodder. (Make sure that this is a non-seeded tournament like the fourway tournaments were, because nobody will take it seriously if there are actual seed numbers.) Stick all of the midcarders on the other side. We finally get to determine who the top non-Noble Niner is without having to resort to retiring the Noble Nine again. (Note: this is a horrible idea. But it would probably draw marginally less whining than retiring characters again would.) --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |
big boss more like big bust LOL --- i'll do rydia -Dante |
It
might not be an exaggeration to say he is Top 2 strongest. Of course,
it's a coin flip in all those inter-Nintendo matches against
Ganondorf/Zelda/the best Pokemon, but I think Luigi would do very well,
and I sure as hell ain't taking Auron or Tifa against this guy. Squall
vs Luigi in a fair match... man we NEED that rematch. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif |

This is a big help, because 2008 Link goes like 56/44 with current Link. Unlikely, some (yoblazer) might say. Impossible? Definitely not. --- Die young and save yourself. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work. |
Okay, time to break out the trends for some reassurance that everything is still fine! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
With
all the focus Nintendo has given Luigi this year it wouldn't be
surprising to see him boost this contest. They've been advertising the
hell out of him. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
WHY IS KIRBY GOING TO BE IN THE NEXT MATCH I WOULD'VE TOTALLY TAKEN LUIGI>SEPHIROTH --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Is this gonna be another one of those "SFFed, but still won" matches? --- "Divine judgment for an evil soul! Sacred Penance! Rest in peace." - Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Tales of Vesperia |
Bowser
fell 4.5% relative to The Boss from this point, which was more or less
the last time he saw a significant percentage rise in that match. C'mon,
Big Boss! Don't let her work be in vain! Edit: Though obviously The Boss didn't have nearly the bracket support, so that is optimistic but ultimately should be something muted even if it bears out. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Link got 21k votes against Isaac and Tingle Adding votes that he can leech from Draven rally (which as Lopen said,was maximum 10% for X..?) we talk about 30k votes..max Draven is going to have more than 60k votes Good luck |
I
think Luigi is a big favorite. This isn't like yesterday's match where
Bowser had the win in hand and voters could dink around between two
weaker characters. If Big Boss has the lead in a few hours, Luigi's day
vote will give him whatever he needs to pull through. Wonderful time for MGS to have its first bad match of the contest. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/NQTthNf.jpg |
Luigi
is definitely the strongest of the regular Nintendo near-elites now in
my mind. I would not take Dorf, Zelda, Bowser, Yoshi or Kirby over him. The Pokemon, specifically Zard, could be stronger though. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
