One Noble Niner dead. EIGHT TO GO. --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |
red sox 777 posted... Back over 39%. But you gotta cut, Crono, stalling isn't enough! Technically! --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Cut #2 achieved. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Well,
that's one hell of an SFF here. Look at the match pic, Crono and Magus
are making the same expression and looking in the same direction, while
Pikachi stands out in the middle. Still, this is a testament to how strong pokeFEAR is. |
Turning
back to the math at hand, currently if you split Magus's votes 70/30
(this is about as much Bowser voters favored Luigi over Liquid back in
2008), Crono would currently have 48.07% on Pikachu. Upping or
diminishing that proportion changes the match considerably as you might
imagine. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
hahah crono would lose even with no magus --- nt |
How (un)likely is Mewtwo > Sonic |
Sonic has looked extremely, extremely good. Pokefear is in full effect but Mewtwo will have to bring 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!!! |
how (un)likely is Pikachu > Sora/Squirtle > Cloud how many times can we bet against RBY Pokemon and get mad when it burns --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (is also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif |

Pikachu > Mario > Vincent >>> Sonic. In terms of how much I like them. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Pobre Pobre C-man ;_; --- Oh SuperNiceDog's doing it again dude. SuperNiceDog, you ain't no pimp dude |
And there it is. Canada flips into Crono's column. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
where is real YoBlazer, I need to know what this result says for Crono --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (is also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif |
turbopuns posted... How (un)likely is Mewtwo > Sonic Hrm...round 3 matches start at 9 pm...? It means...I need to wake up at 6.30 AM to prepare my rally (oh god why) And then I need to go to work.. You know,if no one else considers doing a Mewtwo rally aside from me (and hoping it will work) I guess Sonic wins But im still going to wake up early to at least try! |
Sonic/Mewtwo
is dependent on how Barret v Phoenix would go. Phoenix needs to beat
Barret with 57.5% of the vote to get Sonic = Mewtwo. I don't think he
can do that, personally. While Sonic should beat Mewtwo in a fair match
considering all that, I am hesitant because I think Bowser hurts Sonic
more than Mewtwo. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
every match is good news for crono except his own it's his curse --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Pikachu by the hour vs. Crono: 1:00 | 55.73% 2:00 | 53.92% --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
This match is also probably really bad news for Cloud. If Crono came out and won, or preferably dominated, then Frog's 36% might not look as awful. But now? what happened there --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |

What does Vincent have to get on Barret for Mewtwo = Sonic? --- ~War~ |
And
if you want an explanation of why Bowser is worse for Sonic... I don't
think a Pokemon has ever been SFFed by a Nintendo entity (weakened
relative to other characters by fanbase splits yes, but that's not the
same thing). Meanwhile Sonic, assuming that he was worth around 38% on
Link last contest (a bit below bandwagoned Charizard), he got SFFed to
the tune of 16 points on Link, not even breaking 30% against him. To put it in perspective, Sonic somehow got SFFed harder by Link than Luigi, which I didn't think possible. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Based on Crono vs. Kerrigan/Missile, Pikachu wins with 51.38%. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |

Just logged on. LOL --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC |
KH I think we all know what I'm going to ask you for now. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/845 What does Mewtwo get on Sonic? --- ~War~ |
Aww yeah. Charizard coming for Mario. --- Hey, its that SuperNiceDog! Congrats to the Guru 2011 winner |
And
considering that Vincent wasn't actually hurt by his pic and has
actually stayed the exact same strength as 2010, it's clear Mewtwo and
Phoenix have boosted significantly and now Mewtwo's the clear favorite
over Sonic! --- Current Let's Play: Final Fantasy II - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3557012 Previous: http://lparchive.org/author/mega64 |

So.....FFVII vs. RBY, what do you take? --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
In defence of Crono, it's looking like 1 on 1, he'd probably beat Pikachu with 52%. In 2010, this happened: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/3838 Yeah, that had sprite snake but it wasn't that imbalanced a picture because Snake also had his Brawl render in the background. Pikachu is a monster, Crono doesn't look too bad. --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
RBY I mean, maybe I try to talk myself into FFVII somehow, but deep down - RBY. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
I
would've taken RBY over FFVII before this contest because I don't trust
Final Fantasy in a close match, but this contest just makes me more
confident in it. --- ~War~ |
I take RBY, but I would have done that pre-contest. This is merely making my upset special obvious. <_< --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
In defence of Crono, it's looking like 1 on 1, he'd probably beat Pikachu with 52%. Crono isn't getting 100% of Magus' votes --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 92/117 Today's Picks: Leon Kennedy and Pikachu |
red sox 777 posted... So.....FFVII vs. RBY, what do you take? RBY easily at this point |
By
the end of this match, Crono will be considerably higher on Pikachu.
If it were 24 hours, it would be even closer. Even now, if Bacon were
to extend this match 12 more hours Crono would have a small chance of
winning it. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
During the Blue/Fox/Wolf many people tried to epeculate how many of Wolf votes were supposed to go for Fox I don't think there was a consensus for this,but 70% sounds about right? |
The
percentage of Magus's votes that Crono needs to win this match
discounting other extraneous factors (pic factor, vacuum theory, change
in trends over 24 hours) looks to be about 80% right now. Seems unlikely
to me, but Magus should theoretically be much more closely related to
Crono than Bowser to Luigi. Then again, I saw people crediting Luigi with like 95% of Ness's votes against Big Boss when he'd honestly be lucky to get 70% so I feel there's a lot of crosstalk going on here. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Also,
characters like Fox/Wolf and Crono/Magus are going to be much more
closely related than something like Luigi/Ness. I could *maybe* see
something like 80% overlap for the former two, but not the latter -
Earthbound is way too independent relative to the other two examples. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
Crono/Magus should be a really high percentage. It's a small fanbase- a single game. 80% sounds fairly reasonable. I'm counting on the trends to raise Crono's percentage considerably here, but assuming I've called them right, Crono should win 1v1 against Pikachu easily in 24 hours or a night match, and probably in a day match. --- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. |
Nice, I needed this after fearfully taking Gordy over Leon in the Oracle last night. Good result for Crono though. --- I am Iron Chef Chinese Chen Kenichi's greatest fan. Iron Chef Kenichi's career record in Kitchen Stadium - W:67, L:22, T:3 |
FWIW, Magus would need to split 84.37% or better for Crono to put Crono ahead at the moment. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX |
Nanis23 posted... During the Blue/Fox/Wolf many people tried to epeculate how many of Wolf votes were supposed to go for Fox 70% is what I like to use based off the Battle Royale. From day 3 to day 4, Cloud got 71.53% of Seph's votes, Snake got 16.73% and Link got 11.73%. Given fluctuations, 70-75% seems about right for direct game/series SFF. --- *shrug* |
I voted for Magus and I would vote for 90% of the field, including Pika, over Crono. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
And
yeah, I think Pikachu does have a picture advantage, but it just
something that happened and isn't anything to cry foul over. Crono and
Magus both look quite good actually, it's just that the eye is drawn to
all that bright yellow in the middle. It might not even be as big of
advantage if Pikachu were off to the side; he seems to pop out that much
more as the middle entrant. Really wouldn't have mattered though. --- I am Iron Chef Chinese Chen Kenichi's greatest fan. Iron Chef Kenichi's career record in Kitchen Stadium - W:67, L:22, T:3 |
Is it bad that all I can think of is "Man, 1v1 this would've been the greatest dumb upset pick" With Magus here it just kinda felt like a foregone conclusion. --- ~War~ |
Crono
and Magus have to be two of the most closely overlapping characters
there are. I would not be surprised if Crono took in 90% of Magus's
votes. I think if you took away Crono, a larger proportion of votes
would go to Pikachu, but Magus doesn't have the broader appeal Crono
does. The people voting for Magus in this match are the hardcore Chrono
Trigger fans, no-one else. Yeah, Crono would beat Pikachu. It's close,
but in 2010 Pikachu looked just shy of Sephiroth. Remember when he got 30% on Fox? --- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig |
Just
got on and I see Pikachu stomping Crono as expected. I didn't think
he'd have this big of a lead this soon though especially with Magus
seeming like he's being Wolf'd. --- http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9 |
nintendogirl1 posted... Nanis23 posted...During the Blue/Fox/Wolf many people tried to epeculate how many of Wolf votes were supposed to go for Fox That's not actually 70% relative to Link or Snake, which is the real question at hand - Cloud would obviously get a higher percentage of Seph's votes if, for example, Seph had eliminated Snake and then lost on the next to last day. Relative to his closest competitor, Snake, Cloud got 81.04% of Sephiroth's votes. Relative to Link, Cloud got 85.91% of Seph's votes. --- http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif Proud to share the same sig as Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) |
