LinkMarioSamus posted... So am I the only one thinking that this is Bayonetta collapsing against anyone with a fanbase in similar fashion to Ryu Hayabusa? This is why I put Bayonetta under 20% in my Oracle prediction because I believe she is a character that needs to rely on her design to get votes and would collapse in the face of any character with a big fanbase. Sort of like how Kratos and Ryu Hayabusa collapse against Snake, I thought Bayonetta would do the same here. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Based on Link/Alucard Snake is doing around expected, maybe just slightly worse --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 85/105 Today's Picks: Kirby and Solid Snake |
Gosh darnit I can't wait until Bayonetta gets in Smash so she can have her OWN devoted fanbase. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/NQTthNf.jpg |
Although
you'd think that being an attractive woman would thus make you better
at avoiding SFF from Snake than Ryu Hayabusa or Kratos. Not to mention
Snake vs. Alucard was an SFF match on Gamespot...so why isn't it one
here? --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Bayonetta will probably rise in percent, she's already up 2% on Snake since the freeze --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 85/105 Today's Picks: Kirby and Solid Snake |
So,
what's everyone thinking for tonight? I personally think it can
legitimately go all three ways, although I have a clear pecking order in
mind. Glados: Is probably the weakest in the poll, but is benefiting from a Ninty split and it being a night match. Ike: His R1 performance looks better with every match. I think I'd take him over the other two in 1 v 1 affairs in a heartbeat, but with overlap and the possibility of weirdness, his fate here is uncertain. Epona: Still a big question mark. She depends on how well you think 60-40ing Mordin is. If you respect that, she could be good. If you don't...she's not! There's also the question of whether or not she dies with another Nintendo character in the poll. She might...or might not. Big ole' question mark. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

Not to mention Snake vs. Alucard was an SFF match on Gamespot...so why isn't it one here? What has Gamespot got to do with Gamefaqs. --- Man is not the creature of circumstances. Circumstances are the creatures of man. |
Whoa, take it easy Snake. --- POKEFEAR |
For reference, Snake (2010c) VS Alucard (2010c) Snake has a strength of 46.51. Alucard has a strength of 28.21. Snake wins with 69.67% of the vote! --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
What was that crazy Snake update I don't even |
Ike
vs. GLaDOS is basically a Smash character vs. the "primary" character
of one of the most popular franchises of this generation...uh oh. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Snake
is a madman, and apart from Epona (who probably has a 50/50 shot to
reach him), he might not see a single actual Nintendo character until
Mario in the finals - and Draven will make that an entirely meaningless
battle for second place. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/a4GuDV3.gif |
Tonight's probably as good a time to bank as any! --- I don't know how much you know about women, but Dr. Pizza is an expert. - The Mana Sword |
KamikazePotato posted... So, what's everyone thinking for tonight? I personally think it can legitimately go all three ways, although I have a clear pecking order in mind. I have no idea and I don't think this match is possible to predict (kinda reminds me of Kefka/Zack/Ryu) Will Epona SFF Ike? or Ike SFF Epona? or will they be even,and give GlaDOS a free pass to the third round? We..need a vote sample for this,I really don't know if people consider Epona a good joke or not |
I think it's down to Ike v Epona. For whatever reason I just don't like GlaDOS here. My heart says Epona, but my head says Ike. My expert challenge also has Epona right now may need to change that but argh this match. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
KamikazePotato posted... So, what's everyone thinking for tonight? I personally think it can legitimately go all three ways, although I have a clear pecking order in mind. I have literally no idea what will happen tonight. These 3 could finish in any order and I wouldn't be surprised. --- Proud supporter of DogFAQs |
Nanis23 posted... Will Epona SFF Ike? or Ike SFF Epona? or will they be even,and give GlaDOS a free pass to the third round? Zelda or FE, which do you think comes higher up the SFF ladder? --- NGirl@work or on phone. |
2010 x-stats looking remarkably accurate so far here. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
We've
already seen the Smash guys fold like laundry to higher-tier Nintendo
guys (it was especially shocking with DK and Falco). There's no chance
Ike holds up to Epona at all, let alone well enough to actually win the match. It's Epona and GlaDOS fighting for first. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/NQTthNf.jpg |
nintendogirl2 posted... Nanis23 posted...Will Epona SFF Ike? or Ike SFF Epona? or will they be even,and give GlaDOS a free pass to the third round? It's not only about series,though It's about the character itself It's not like Fawful could SFF Ness or something |
that match would be so much easier if ike were a dog. dogs are obviously at the top of the animal sff chain --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Ultimaphazon posted... I have literally no idea what will happen tonight. These 3 could finish in any order and I wouldn't be surprised. Same here. |
The F***, too steroid already. --- Zinsanity of the Helix Board |
What
amazes me is how Crono ever got 74% on Captain Falcon. It looks like
Falcon got a massive boost after that match. Or something. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Would be good if Glados was a bird. Gamefaqs hates birds. |
red sox 777 posted... 2010 x-stats looking remarkably accurate so far here. But but...Alucard was overrated in the stats! Then again, so was Snake if you want to take that route, since he lost to Cloud. I guess in that way, everyone's overrated in the stats. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
red sox 777 posted... What amazes me is how Crono ever got 74% on Captain Falcon. It looks like Falcon got a massive boost after that match. Or something. BRAWL BOOST! --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Come to think of it,how many matches of "same power Nintendo characters" we had before? Luigi Ganondorf MC comes to mind,and we know what happened Of course GlaDOS is nowhere as strong as 2007 MC,but still edit-and no Noble Nine SFF,of course |
I'll
take it to mean that Link and Cloud 2010 are only a little nonlinear,
and mostly at the fodder level (which Alucard is not). Link and Cloud
are JUST THAT WEAK nowadays. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
you
know, if Snake is just going to stomp Alucard's face in in the day, You
can STILL make an argument for Falcon > Alucard in a 24 hour match
despite Alucard defying all logic and coming back in the morning. |

There's no chance Ike holds up to Epona at all, let alone well enough to actually win the match. It's Epona and GlaDOS fighting for first. Ike doesn't fold to Nintendo people. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/2098 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3830 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3283 http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3259 Those are two comparisons of Ike holding up way better than his SSB-counterparts against much stronger competition - and I doubt Epona is stronger, honestly. If anything, she folds to Ike. We say this a lot, but...it's a horse. You're going to have to convince me that a horse is going to have a fanbase that won't quit under pressure, when there's other legitimate poll options. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Weak relative to how strong they used to be, of course. Speaking of which, honest question: If the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII never happened, what do you guys think would happen to the FFVII cast's contest strength in 2005 and after? --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |

She's way more loved than Ike (ignoring Ike's FE fanbase since most of his votes come from Smash). --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Sorozone posted... I'm going with my bracket choice, I'm all in for Epona. This is what I'm about 95% likely to do. The further from the leaderboard I am, the more reckless I become! It might get me on the Bracket Leaderboard too! I just have the sickest feeling that Ike is going to win it in a laugher or something. and that'd just be embarrassing --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
This match is honestly making me wonder if we should be considering Snake>Link 1v1. |
I though my 55% was high for Snake in my Oracle. --- POKEFEAR |
I took Snake to get 57% in the oracle and I was surprised almost everyone I saw had below that. <_<. --- 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!!! |
KamikazePotato posted... You're going to have to convince me that a horse is going to have a fanbase that won't quit under pressure, when there's other legitimate poll options. The Zelda fanbase, having its confidence rocked not too long ago will rally together in preparation of the fated day and will Epona to victory! ... how is that? --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
red sox 777 posted... I'll take it to mean that Link and Cloud 2010 are only a little nonlinear, and mostly at the fodder level (which Alucard is not). Link and Cloud are JUST THAT WEAK nowadays. Theoretically, shouldn't anti-votes be non-linear? As the opponents get stronger, the chances increase that the anti-voters would have voted for the opponent anyway. --- "What's the matter with bootblacking? We both like it very much!" This is Yesmar. |

tgs2 posted... you know, if Snake is just going to stomp Alucard's face in in the day, You can STILL make an argument for Falcon > Alucard in a 24 hour match despite Alucard defying all logic and coming back in the morning. In a 24 hour match, Falcon probably just blows Alucard away with the ASV. Why the heck are we referring to him as just "Falcon"? I guess we can't go around writing "Captain Falcon" all the time...so maybe we could just write "Capt. Falcon"? Nah, I'd prefer to stick with just "Falcon". --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
Another huge jump, oh my. --- Zinsanity of the Helix Board |
Achromatic posted... xp1337 posted...KamikazePotato posted...You're going to have to convince me that a horse is going to have a fanbase that won't quit under pressure, when there's other legitimate poll options. The Zelda fanbase hadn't been rocked yet! that day. everything changed. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Whoa, take it easy on them Snake. --- LM |
This is getting out of hand now. --- POKEFEAR |
Slow down Snake or people will start accusations of vote stuffing. |
xp1337 posted... KamikazePotato posted...You're going to have to convince me that a horse is going to have a fanbase that won't quit under pressure, when there's other legitimate poll options. That honestly might be the best argument I've seen so far! I think Epona could win due to a weird bandwagon or whatever. That wouldn't surprise me. Did you see that early vote? It was better than Pokemon's. In a normal situation, though, I would have very little faith in Epona. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Whoa,
Snake's gained 3% on Alucard in 20 minutes. Now he's nearly at 72%.
Uh....that's already higher than what Link got in 2010. He looks about 1
update away from surpassing what Link would have gotten in 24 hours. I guess maybe 72% was lowballing Link for 24 hrs given the big day vote disparity, but, 73% is as high as he could go. And Snake isn't far from that either. Sound the alarms. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Seriously
though, I can't really give you an answer. And that's fine. I kind of
secretly think you're right anyway. Best I could really do is "But it's
OoT!" and that's pretty shallow. I'm way overdue for a pick where I go with my heart despite all logic insisting it's a terrible idea. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
