Big jump for Leon as Shadow continues to die. --- http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o8250gifyd.gif http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o6250gifuv.gif |
So this match looks like the calm before the storm. T-minus 11 hours, 35 minutes until Armageddon. I'm seeing a lot of 15%ish predictions for Magus here...isn't that kinda high? I expect Crono to put at least 80% on him. Magus should be even more LOL-worthy than normal here. He's going to get turbofodderized. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |
Glad
I switched to Gordon for second. I was afraid we'd have some SFF going
on that would let Shadow slip into second. But them I remembered that
Shadow barely went 60-40 on Yu Narukami. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
TheKoolAidShoto posted... LOLContests posted...Go go Shadow. Since when has Dante been a "choker"? Dude made a contest semifinal once; he's never lost in the first round and he's never lost to anything less than a mid-level midcarder. I mean, here's the list of Dante's losses. 2002: Narrowly avoided a doubling against Crono, back when Crono was still awesome. 2003: 54-46 loss against Ryu, one of the top midcarders. 2004: 62-38 loss against Sonic, a member of the Noble Nine. 2005: 54-46 loss against Vincent Valentine, another top midcarder, possibly the top midcarder at the time. 2006: Got 49.45% in a loss to Yoshi. Less elite than the other characters that he's lost to, but still a medium-high midcarder, and in a damn close match. 2007: Advanced in second place twice, once in a match where he had two other Capcom characters in Leon Kennedy and Amaterasu holding him back against Pikachu and the other behind Game Fuel Chief (with Pikachu nullified by Luigi) before finally exiting in fourth place to L-Block, Snake, and Game Fuel Chief. 2008: Finished second in another "three mature characters vs. cutesy Nintendo" battle, getting revenge against Chief while again being held back by Leon Kennedy as Kirby took first place, then exited in fourth place behind Snake, Kirby, and Sonic. (By the way, has anyone ever come up with any theories as to why Kirby shot through the roof in 2008? Because even though some of his performances can be explained away by fortuitous LFF scenarios, 2008 Kirby still beats the crap out of any other year's Kirby.) 2010: Lost to Ryu again, this time with 49.65% of the vote. About the only time he lost to someone who isn't considered at least a medium-high midcarder is 2007, and both of those characters were far stronger in 2007 than they had been in any other year. (Yes, L-Block is at best a medium-low midcarder now.) And his percentages in his losses suggest that he's pretty strong. I mean, I guess you could slap a "choker" label on him because of all of the close losses with no close wins (not that it matters, but he broke 49% in his loss in Rivalry Rumble, too), but others with the "choker" label lose to people they have no business losing to. Dante's a high midcarder who just never quite manages to get that signature win. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |

creativename posted... So this match looks like the calm before the storm. T-minus 11 hours, 35 minutes until Armageddon. I'm totally confident of Crono winning the match. I don't why, but I've always felt secure about this pick. --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak |
Yeah,
I've got Magus at around 14-15%. If Crono ends up around 46%, that's
still above a tripling. I dunno if I'd be confident calling for a
quadrupling from him. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |

Well,
you're asking for a big jump for Crono to go from 70/30ing him to
80/20ing him. Magus is a joke now, sure, but it's still quite a leap. --- http://i.imgur.com/eqOQs.gif |
Only 8 vote gain for Leon over Gordon... --- XBL Gamertag - Tiirshak |
I recall this logic being used 10 years ago... Considering where he was actually ranked he did better than the average Nintendo character. --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 92/117 Today's Picks: Leon Kennedy and Crono |

Magus should be even more LOL-worthy than normal here. When Mewtwo upsets Sonic, Magus is going to get SFF'ed so hard that the Xstats would have Magus losing to Chester! (Although if Operation Pokιmon actually works, the X-stats will be worthless because Rally!Draven smashes Link so badly that Chester comes out looking like he could break 30% on Link, or something stupid like that.) --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar.

Qwaar posted... creativename posted...So this match looks like the calm before the storm. T-minus 11 hours, 35 minutes until Armageddon. I was going to comment about the 2010 xstats that show Chrono v Pikachu at 55-45, but then I remembered Missingno happened. So I'm not really sure how accurate that reading is. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |
From: LeonhartFour | Posted: 8/26/2013 12:30:16 AM | #112 Well, you're asking for a big jump for Crono to go from 70/30ing him to 80/20ing him. Magus is a joke now, sure, but it's still quite a leap. Magus's non-SFFed strength is probably around 30% on him now, though. it's not a jump so much as a drop. --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxkdr0uNc91qlu5jao1_r1_400.gif |

creativename posted... So this match looks like the calm before the storm. T-minus 11 hours, 35 minutes until Armageddon. Crono/Pikachu/Magus has been the most hyped match from the start, right?

It depends on how badly CT fans abandon Magus. Nintendo fans know how to do it <_<. --- 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!!! |

Nintendo fans abandoned Ness hard. Big Boss's natural strength was just too high. --- http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo22vfguji1qzxr43.gif |
I'm
not sure how Gordon's trends are supposed to go vis-a-vis Leon, but
post-Power Hour is when we're going to start seeing the pic disadvantage
have a more pronounced effect, assuming that it's having one. That
could be interesting, because Gordon's stalling him out a bit right now. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
LeonhartFour posted... Nintendo fans abandoned Ness hard. Big Boss's natural strength was just too high. It should be noted that most of Ness's strength comes from SSB. Since he's lower on the heirarchy, any higher tier SSB character is just going to sap the hell out of his strength. --- PSN - Aevio "I'm on a Goomba." - BlackMageJawa |

Nah, RE is all night vote. Leon's fine. --- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/1248835958206.png |
If
Leon has the trend advantage then he should be safe - Gordon looks set
to make him look bad, but it's not exactly like it'll matter either way. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Nah, Leon's gonna end up looking bad next round regardless of what happens. --- "But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...outside." "I am lightning...the rain transformed." |
Well
yeah, that's what I meant. <_< I'd interested in seeing if he
could score more than Dante did on Squirtle in a neutral setting but
he's gonna get LPFed to death. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
I don't agree with Leon's picture being bad, and it's not personal bias. I think his RE6 design is pretty cool looking. It at least looks like Leon Kennedy. Were Dante to get his most recent design, you can cry foul. But I can at least tell who that character is. --- Get the X out. Vinateri was using his god powers on the Pats and then was like "Wait I'm a Colt now lol" and now you have it. |
I like Leon's pic. I know RE6 wasn't too well received, but I think he still looks cool in it. --- ~Zen |
And now Gordon does the same! Call me irrationally paranoid but I'm gonna wait one more half hour before personally calling it. <_< --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Gordon goes from a big cut on Leon to almost losing an update to Shadow. --- http://www.miscupload.com/upload/452457071929141623517416.gif |

Leon looked fine in RE6. His campaign wasn't so bad. The cathedral and catacombs were pretty cool. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
LeonhartFour posted... Well, you're asking for a big jump for Crono to go from 70/30ing him to 80/20ing him. Magus is a joke now, sure, but it's still quite a leap. As Xuxon mentioned, Magus is straight weaker now. What Crono did with SFF back then he'd probably due with raw strength now. Plus we know that in multi-ways, the weaker party in an SFF relationship gets destroyed even worse than normal. Crono is going to leech Magus within an inch of his life, and then he's gonna leech him some more. Magu won't end up like Wolf...but it's going to be bad. Real bad. LeonhartFour posted... Xuxon posted...Magus's non-SFFed strength is probably around 30% on him now, though. it's not a jump so much as a drop. It's unclear where Magus was. I doubt he'd dropped off a cliff in 2K4 though. I mean even when he bombed by losing to Knuckles in 2K5, Knuckles had pretty decent strength and Magus went almost even with him. Magus flopped compared to expectations but by no means was he weak - he was a very solid midcarder or even high midcarder in 2K5. And now, he's pretty much fodder. Magus dropped year by year, in the Crono 2K4 match Magus was midcarder at worst. Now that he's a joke it's going to get ugly for him. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Magus is going to fold hard because Crono needs him to! at least he better --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
We'll be hearing a lot of laughter from Magus tomorrow, I imagine. --- http://img.imgcake.com/leonhjpguz.jpg |
The Owner of FF9 posted... Crono/Pikachu/Magus has been the most hyped match from the start, right? I was expecting more GET HYPE like this post when I walked in here. Though I guess this current match is still close enough to be worth talking about. The whole Draven thing has quelled the large majority of enthusiasm for this contest. I mean just look at how we're pretty much getting NO Snake posts. Snake is beasting everything in site, MGS looks amazing, and Snake appears to have made the leap to being our clear #2 - and could probably give Link a run. Snake is I think stronger than Cloud 2010, and Cloud got 46.5% on Link. Link has likely weakened a bit since 2010 too. So Link/Snake 1v1 is actually within not-bats*** insane debate range. And Snake should be the favorite in the final with Mario there. No one cares about poor Snake even in his shining moment of glory though, because people don't really care about much of anything anymore.
