I
think Gordon gives Leon a big scare. 40% on Tifa before Missingno
shenanigans is still impressive even if he almost lost to Peach the
round before. |
Karma Hunter posted... Big Boss is also a near-equal to Luigi, and he's just the Badass Version of Solid Snake. Dante can fail for reasons outside of crazy Smurf theories people Big boss gets most of his popularity from the most popular MGS game MGS3(or 2nd most popular behind MGS1) Also this badass thing. Can't include Snake. He actually has 2 groups of Fans. The smash which makes up for maybe 10% and 90% MGS. MGS is a beast of a series and would obliterate the likes of DMC/halo GoW etc.. Also snake is an actual character. Guys like MC, Dante and Kratos are just badass with little to no character depth or dialogue. Dante has a lot of cheesy dialogue, MC says cliche crap and Kratos is just angry and shouts. None of their games are story driven either which doesn't help. Unless you're a nintendo character. --- http://s19.postimage.org/aosug5mrn/Persona4.png |
Shadow > Gordon could happen, Amaterasu has proven to be a decent opponent. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 89/111 Today's Picks: Cloud and Dante |
If their 2010 performances are any indication, Leon and Gordon might be close enough that the pic can make it close. And while Shadow is junk, he does stand out there. We've seen stranger things in this contest already --- A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice. |

ChenKenichiFan posted... I also know there's no one to blame but SBAllen and the picsmiths (myself included; I actually wanted to make a Vinnie pic but got lazy), but hopefully this leads to everyone admitting that Mewtwo should have been the big favorite even with a normal Vincent picture. I was ready to concede that with Cloud's subpar performance. But hey, it's all for the greater good with Squall's rise to #1 FF character on the site --- http://i.imgur.com/CbfFb.jpg |

This
Badass Decline thing applies as much to Dante and Kratos as it does
Zack and Auron and Sephiroth. If you have to start separating characters
who are badass but have character and badass but have no character you
can probably think of a better reason for them getting weaker. And there
are! Individually, most of these characters have had some poor releases
lately, or are characters who would be most hurt by a decline in casual
voters. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
ChenKenichiFan posted... http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/2095 That match is what made me think Gordon beating Leon would be weird. He couldn't beat Leon fresh off of HL2, and he's gonna win when he's barely had anything since? I guess if you think RE6 has negatively impacted Leon, but I think he'll be fine. I think he's still beloved enough in RE4 that it won't turn RE fans against him. --- http://i.imgur.com/kCpvD.gif |
KamikazePotato posted... It still boggles my mind that we got DmC instead of DMC5. You people talk about Resident Evil 6 bombing, but that was at least an earnest attempt by a developer to make a cool new game that just failed miserably. DmC was like a tactical nuke targeted directly at the DMC fanbase. DmC was actually well-received by critics. Resident Evil 6, not so much. But yeah I think DmC made Dante decrease. So let's look at this: -Dante bombs after DmC. -Lightning bombs after Final Fantasy XIII (I warned you guys! Not that I changed my Expert Challenge but still!). -Big Daddy bombs after BioShock 2. -The entire cast of PlayStation All-Stars has stunk the joint this contest. -Ryu Hayabusa bombs after Ninja Gaiden III (though it seems he was still stronger than Altair and post-reboot Lara Croft, so all is not lost!) The only games that haven't yet shown their ill effects are Resident Evil 6 and Metroid: Other M. Even then, an RE6 could very well doom Leon next round and the RE team allowing a 2013 character to break 20% in their match may not be good news. After that, I have a feeling that Samus SFFd both her R1 opponents. Remember how Link looked bad in every non-SFF match in 2003 and 2010? Bye-bye Samus, have a good time! And I remember Ulti hyping Dante > Crono in 2011. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
I
think Gordon may have boosted more from The Orange Box than HL2. Apart
from a crummy original Xbox port that no one played, HL2 was exclusive
to PC unti late 2007. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/a4GuDV3.gif |
1337gamerpr0 posted... The_Djoker posted... I think Snake>Cloud 1v1 wouldn't surprise anyone now. Pikechu gets way more of his votes from the smash fanbase. IF he was never in smash Pikachu would fall behind several pokemon. --- http://s19.postimage.org/aosug5mrn/Persona4.png |
The Orange Box turned Gordon into a worldbeater, at least by his standards. I bought a 360 for The Orange Box. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |

You people talk about Resident Evil 6 bombing, but that was at least an earnest attempt by a developer to make a cool new game that just failed miserably. DmC was like a tactical nuke targeted directly at the DMC fanbase. I have to agree about DmC. It wasn't a bad game But it's an awful DMC game. RE6 is a bad game full stop. Bad action game bad RE game. --- http://s19.postimage.org/aosug5mrn/Persona4.png |
swordz9 posted... Kratos could've been hurt by God of War 3. It was an awesome game, but I think a lot of people hated the ending. Sure he got some somewhat recent prequel game or whatever, but GoW3's ending is the only thing I can think of for why Kratos would look so bad against Travis and Recette. Eh what? Maybe my judgement is just clouded due to God of War III being the highest-ranked game in the series on unikgamer, but I still always get the vibe that that's the most highly-regarded game in the series. I think Kratos and Sackboy both suffered the same fate as Master Chief: their franchises simply became less relevant. And again, PlayStation All-Stars may have hurt them both. Anyone thinks Skyward Sword may have negatively affected the Zelda crew? Oh and IIRC Snake's worst contest performances were in the years where MGS2 was getting most of its backlash. Although MGS2 broke 40% on Melee in the games contest so who knows. --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |
That match pic for Leon is atrocious BTW --- Tornadoman78: tornadoman and tornadogirl like to kick box each other in my tornaolayzers and she dosent even mind getting hit |
the only important thing in this contest is squirtle > charizard |
Whoa whoa,what was all that Pokemon hate here Sure,I have to admit too many of them were nominated and it would be better without a few of them (I would totally throw Jigglypuff,Lugia and N outside of the window...although N was supposed to be a gen 5 representive,we can still do without him) Hm..I might even prefer if Missingno was left out too..even though he gave us one of the best match in this contest..but Magikarp had to take it's place ...And it could be great,because Magikarp>Squall would totally happen 11 out of 243 made it in = 4.5% 8 of them made it into the second round,which has 81 characters = 9.8% 2 are already in the third round,with 4 more to go (Lugia failed and Missingno won't make it) = 6/27 = 22.2% And...only one can make it into the fourth round (Charizard,unless my Mewtwo rally works) so there is nothing to cry about really 22.2% in the third round isn't THAT crazy |
swordz9 posted... Snake hasn't had any good competition yet this contest. I mean Alucard is decent enough, but I think that weird feminine eyes closed pic he got wasn't very good. Most of Alucard's SOTN art, and hell most of the character art in the Castlevania games from SOTN onwards until Dawn of Sorrow, is done in a very feminine way. I think I once heard a theory that it could be an homage to Metroid, which makes sense (I haven't played much of SOTN, but from what I've played I found a lot more Metroid-inspired stuff than I would have thought). --- Currently Playing - Super Metroid, MGS4, Brawl, FFVII, Wind Waker, RE4, SOTC |

Yes
it is. I'll probably be supporting Link but if he goes down I'm getting
behind Draven because as I said before ANYTHING is better than more goddamn Pokemon --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |

It's
crazy how little these percentages have changed since the first update.
Not only is Squirtle putting on a better R2 show than Cloud did, he's
putting on a better one by no small margin. I mean, don't get me wrong, I fully expect Cloud to win still. But I think Mega Man's starting to sweat about his R3 match. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |

Badass Decline Theory Link declines because of Wind Waker --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
Clearly just the thought of Wind Waker HD is putting people into a frenzy fueled by hatred and causing Link to look weaker. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
Karma Hunter posted... Yes it is. I'll probably be supporting Link but if he goes down I'm getting behind Draven because as I said before ANYTHING is better than more goddamn Pokemon The only pokemon I wouldn't mind winning is Blastoise. Allen should evolve Squirtle should he reach the final. He would Hydro Pump Draven out of the earth for sure. --- http://s19.postimage.org/aosug5mrn/Persona4.png |
And TPCi should do a MegaBlastoise reveal on the same day. --- Pokemon VGC2013 US National - 39th place Pokemon VGC2013 Worlds LCQ - Top 32 |
Blastoise
is pretty great and one of the few Pokemon I'd vote for with any sort
of regularity. Squirtle's fine, too. Probably would've gotten my vote
here if Zidane weren't in the match --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |

Individually, most of these characters have had some poor releases lately, or are characters who would be most hurt by a decline in casual voters. What people are trying to describe as "badass character decline" should probably more accurately be called "casual appeal decline." The characters that are taking a hit are specifically the ones whose bulk strength are tied up in their badass character designs. They're the ones that the casual masses vote for because they're easily recognizable, especially against characters from niche games. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
I've
been lurking or posting in these threads since around the Character
Battle VIII Contest and I don't think people have ever been as stirred
up as they are now. It's like everything you know is wrong and nobody
knows what is possible at this point. Were it not for Draven (forget him winning; he's going to ruin some potentially awesome late contest results), the endless fodderific Round 1, and some of the stupidest LFF matches ever, this would be a great contest. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Current match result is good one for Squall, says stats topic regular --- "The great GF...Bahamut." "...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..." |
I wish Charizard/Blastoise made Rivalry Rumble. Not technically a "canon" rivalry, but c'mon. Anyone around for the initial Pokemon craze knows that s*** was a rivalry. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
Team Rocket Elite posted... Kibago posted...Bulbasaur people just like him/want to finish the set, right? there's no way he's stronger than Charizard or Squirtle (and I'd be stunned if he beat Pikachu.) Squirtle could be getting 190% here and still wouldn't be enough,if the votals are the "high average" of 30k votes and Draven gets 58k like his last match Gamefaqs power doesn't matter,rally power does Which is why people that think Link is the best hope got no idea what they talk about..it doesn't matter if his base power here is the highest,his rally power is non-existent Look,the Pokemon community is huge,ok? I know this because im from this very community so I know what im talking about Pokemon is by far the most discussed video game franchise in the world - there are tons of subject to talk about - trading,battling,breeding,anime and manga discussion,TCG,Pokemon XY discussion and so much more The Pokemon fanart is probably the biggest fanart in the world - with 649 Pokemon (and increasing) there are so many arts for every Pokemon it's crazy There is also how many jokes can be made from Pokemon - just go to 9gag,it will be impossible to not encounter a Pokemon joke somewhere Even random Pokemon like Magcargo can have it's own joke of being hotter than the sun There are also so many Pokemon webcomics than any other franchise Also look at those- http://www.gamefaqs.com/gameboy http://www.gamefaqs.com/gba http://www.gamefaqs.com/ds And http://www.gamefaqs.com/3ds Pokemon in the top 10 EVER SINCE IT WAS ANNOUNCED I really,really don't know why Pokemon was so weak before the 2008 contest- but look at the facts now-Pokemon is strong,and with an internet wide rally Mewtwo can be the only one to beat that ****ing Draven |
swordz9 posted... Clearly just the thought of Wind Waker HD is putting people into a frenzy fueled by hatred and causing Link to look weaker. Don't worry. MM remake to be announced in September coming out for 3DS. --- http://s19.postimage.org/aosug5mrn/Persona4.png |
Slicing
the differences in stupidly low probabilities doesn't help your case. I
will actively rally against Mewtwo or any other Pokemon going up to win
the contest, even if it's for Draven. I'm sure I'm not alone. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Karma Hunter posted... Yes it is. I'll probably be supporting Link but if he goes down I'm getting behind Draven because as I said before ANYTHING is better than more goddamn Pokemon You know,that's a real shame Everyone here is so surprised whenever a Pokemon is doing good/bad even though I predicted them easily You are pretty much the only person here that also predicted everything about Pokemon perfectly...including Lugia free-falling and Squirtle win here Real shame you don't support Pokemon though |
you all said I was crazy in saying Pikachu had the best chance of slaying Draven well who's laughing now no one --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |
AxemRedRanger posted... I've been lurking or posting in these threads since around the Character Battle VIII Contest and I don't think people have ever been as stirred up as they are now. I started lurking here around the '09 Games Contest, and I agree. Between Draven, the seething Pokemon hate and other miscellaneous debacles (Vincentgate, LITERALLY A HORSE, etc), I've never seen this board so salty in my life. Personally, I think this contest has been a lot of fun. Especially since Mr. G&W got to win a match! --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
It's always funny to see people who've only been around for a few years talk about how salty the board is. Nothing these contests produce will EVER rival stuff we saw in the early years CJayC literally implemented a Level 15 user cap after Squall/Luigi because so many people suicided after Squall won --- http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/7760/222bj.jpg |

Haha. Worst match! I will never forget the name nanasilencer because of that match. I remember also thinking Luigi was going to get close to Link because that was the year of the fan favorites wrecking things. Magus > Crono good times. And then Squall happened, and then Magus got crushed. --- tune in tokyo 142.94 |
TheCodeisBosco posted... AxemRedRanger posted...I've been lurking or posting in these threads since around the Character Battle VIII Contest and I don't think people have ever been as stirred up as they are now. Just to let you know, Board 8 is rather tame these days, compared to the early years of the contests. And really, Draven did suck a lot of enthusiasm from this year's battle. We've had some really awesome happenings in Round 2, but I think stuff like Snake's dominating win & Clinkeroth's disappointments would have gotten far more buzz here had that rally not happened the way it did. --- Now Playing: Tales of Xillia (Jude Story), Fire Emblem Awakening |
Pokemon
is fine but it's oversaturated in the contest. Like, Pikachu and
Charizard would be cool but instead we've got Pikachu and Charizard and
Squirtle and Mewtwo and Lugia and Magikarp and Jigglypuff. It's like if
we had put the entire cast of FF7 in 2003, you'd have seen half of the
Sweet Sixteen being made up of FF7 potentially! --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
