Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1133

#101 | Not_Wylvane | Posted 8/28/2013 9:33:50 AM | message detail
L-Block winning a match he wasn't supposed to is actually pretty appropriate for this contest.

I kind of like L-Block winning another match, just because this contest is a bit like his awesome 2007 run. Makes things a bit nostalgic.

This...can't be legit, right?

Ocelot to destroy Ezio, despite Ezio being the face of arguably the biggest current-gen franchise.

Lol current-gen on this site.

So uh how did Shepard and GLaDOS beat their Nintendo and Square opponents?

He was actually making a Final Fantasy Tactics reference. </explainingthejoke>

The entire second round has been completely off its' rocker. Let's go L-Block!


That'd explain it, since I never managed to get past the first couple hours of the game without getting bored.

Well thankfully since it's L-Block it doesn't mean Auron's weakening. When it comes to joke characters everything gets thrown out the window.

Although when I was asking "this can't be legit, right?", I had L-Block in mind more than Ezio.

I guess Auron's "bad" performance last round was all Ocelot beasting. XFD this is probably Ocelot's best contest to date even though he wasn't in contention for advancing to Round 2 at all.

And recurring antagonist in 15-year old series > Face of the biggest current-gen franchise, just wow.

Been a long time since I tried.

What happens is that the battles are exceptionally long and drawn out, so if I end up losing one, I don't feel like going back through and replaying those last 30 minutes. Or having to go grind on random battles, THEN go back and replay those last 30 minutes.

Missingno has Ammy in it's match to counter joke votes with Dog Factor. Ezio might as well be a generic McDude this match.

Apparently I had L-block>Auron>Ezio in expert. Still think Auron wins, but got third right at least. Think I made that pick over a week back. Really should pay more attention, might actually be near the leaderboard (about 450 pts so far).

Oh god.

If L-Block wins, it'll get Samus/Tifa, which if it can pull its ~40% it'll win.

Then it'll get Mario/Charizard in a similar situation.

L-Block is going to make the finals

This can still be explained away by Auron dropping within L's striking range and Ezio being overrated thanks to how badly Knux performed.

L Block can't quite take the lead.

Unlesss Mega Man blasts Charizard into next week with a charge shot to the noggin (admittedly, though, that isn't too likely).

Glorious +3 base.

Good thing I actually read the board last night; I had Ezio > L-block > Auron before I remembered which game Auron was from.

I think these contests are past it now.Everyone got bored with Link winning so they've resorted to nominating and rallying jokes and it's just ruined it for the rest of the characters.I'm not even including Draven in that either.
